[Q] google keyboard incompatible for N4 ? - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
Just installed the newest gapps on my Nexus 4, Paranoid 5 (unofficial alpha).
But, why does the play store state that the keyboard is incompatible with my device (hey, i'm using it right now from the gapps installation)
If I don't install it via the play store I will not receive OTA updates, right?

[Q] Google Play

I am running Liquid Smooth 4.4.4 with the latest PA Gapps 4.4.4. When I go to the Google Play Website to make a purchase, it doesn't automatically download to my phone, why is that? It lists my phone as undefined, and no carrier.

Signature mismatch on Philips Google TV

I've a Philips 55PUS7909 with Android Jelly Bean on board.
There is a pre-installed Google Play Music app (the very very old version with the old icon). Google Play updates it to v5.9.1854R.1904527 and it doesn't let me update it further.
I'd like to install the 6.0.x version because I hope it will enable me to run in leanback mode the app (the UI used by Android TV)...
Installing the updated version (from apkmirror) tells me that there is a signature conflict with the currently installed app, so I was wondering if you guys know how to do update it?

To update Gapps or not?

Hey peps, I'm using a Nexus 5 running the custom rom "Resurrection Remix Oreo v6.2.1-20181209 by*@Hannibal226", running Android 8.1 Oreo (Rooted, X-Posed and Magisk Manager, etc, etc).
I have this open gapps package installed "open_gapps-arm-8.1-pico-20181229.zip" but I see that there is a new updated version dated "14 April 2019" from here...
https://opengapps.org/
Should I update? I noticed that when I switched to this ROM my caller ID stopped working. All I get is a phone number when someone calls me unless they are in my contacts then it will show who is calling.
I was hoping that if the phone dialer in the updated pico package version might have been updated?
So should I update (flash with TWRP)? Is there a way to see what has been updated or changed?
Or does anyone know how to make my caller ID work?
Thanks for your time and TIA.

Installing youtube on an old Samsung phone

I have Acer A500 with Android 4.0.3
I'm trying to install apk Youtube 11.01.70
Youtube won't run without Google Pay services
Google Play services is not present
I try to install apk Google Play services 14.3.69. When I try to install it, it tells me there is a problem parsing the package
Any more ideas?
Because you're using an outdated version of Android.
So it's not possible at all? I thought for an old version of Android I just had to find the right old version of the apps (apk) and installed them.

Even if you did that, it'll ask you to update your apps.
And you can't manually just add all the apps you need? (like Google Play Services in my case)
I find it surprising that this old Android cannot go back to the state it was 10 years ago, if I can get the same software (apk)
In general, the problem parsing the package means that your system software is too old to install that apk file.
Can't you upgrade your Acer A500 system software via OTA at first?
On the other hand, does your mobile phone system really have no built-in Google service framework?

Thanks for the idea. I have never done something like that. Where can I find a OTA image for A500? If you have any instructions for installation it would be also appreciated
Thanks for all the answers. To clarify:
I had Google Services Framework 4.0.4-278776
I just installed Google Play Services 8.1.04 (2215451-036) (036) (successfully, as per indications in this post)
I had install Youtube 11.01.70
When I try to run Youtube tells me that there is a newer version and doesn't go further.
This tablet won't run anything past android 4.0.3, at least without some hacks. With hacks this will run with android 5.1, thus allowing the installation of YouTube.

Google services now in rom

My latest version of the Ota update to miui 12.5 has the options for installing Google services officially now and you can also remove most factory apps as well. So happy to be able to use this beast
Does that mean the official china Rom only needs to install Playstore and everything works? Can you pls check if Google chrome is showing up on play store?
