[Q] Google Play bug (no app icons) - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Google Play Store doesn't load app icons properly. It shows some icons but keeps others blank, and no matter how I wait, it never shows them.
The Google Play app I'm currently using is 5.1.11 (material design). It was installed automatically.
I did not have this problem with the previous Google Play version.
Device details:
Samsung Galaxy S III (gt-i9300)
ROM: Carbon KK - nightly-20141102-0956
Kernel: Boeflla kernel
I have included some screenshots to make my problem more clear.
How can I fix this?

I cleared data from application settings, still, I have the same problem.
I even removed my Google account and signed in again, no hope.

I have flashed Kitkat gapps, file name: pa_gapps-modular-mini-4.4.4-20140901-signed.zip
At first, the Google Play Store icon was the old one and I had no problems with it, but then it automatically updated itself into this version. At that point I started to have this problem.

Thanks But Unfortunately Didnt Work So I'm Stuck.
You can try removing your account from your device and then sign in again. I get this problem quite frequently on my Note , and Sgs2. I believe removing your account from any Android device requires you to format it.

Uninstall the updates of the Play store from "Manage Apps". Or replace your current "Vending.apk" from system/app with a 2.x version of market . Then everything should work. Don't worry, it will be updated to Play Store in few minutes.
go into settings select apps then look for market select it n clear data, iftht still dont work u can just download the file apk from the internet

I've the issue where I logged into my play store account and purchased apps showed as un purchased and no updates available. Each time I either had to reset my DPI to stock 240 or sync my account again. Clearing app data worked too.

What do you mean by " DPI to stock 240 "...

The DPI is a command in the build prop file. It can change the size of all the text and images on the screen. Samsung stock is 240 while the nexus has a smaller DPI 213 I think.
Anyway this setting can affect the play store if the phone DPI doesn't match the play store DPI.

It says to clear app & system cache to stop this issue. Follow the instructions closely.
BTW I just googled "play store no download", this way the first result.

get a root app uninstaller and uninstall playstore and install it again the latest version?
If you have adaway installed, disable it and reboot then open play store it should fixed. Even if you don't have adaway installed then install it, disable it, it should generate standard host files and that should fix play store. I've had this issue on Energy ROM while using VPN's.

Really weird problem and solution. I've been using Adaway for sometime and have never had issues with the play store even though I have several additional host sources added to my host file. I never had a problem before that either when I was using the "Mother of All Host files" adblocking host file I obtained from a thread here on XDA. Really weird and strange that's all I can say.
@Odysseus1962 it's not Adaway that causes this issue, its some other apps mostly VPN and market apps(mobogeine or 1mobile market etc) that adds a line in host file which causes play store to say "No connection" or can't connect to server while adding Google account. You may re-enable Adaway after disabling it should work with no issues.

Thanks for the clarification. I don't use VPN and the only other markets I use are Fdroid and Amazon, so I haven't run across this situation yet. But it's always good to know something like this should I ever have such an issue. At least now I would have an idea where to look to troubleshoot.
