I have a sprint lg g3 model s990 currently running lollipop 5.0.1
Unfortunately several of my system apps have stopped working all together. The play store and my youtube app have completely stopped working. Is there a forum or thread with a solution to this problem? I have searched xda and google high and low with no success.

Sounds like a bad app or...
Are you using xposed? That's still causing people problems. Look in xposed issues for fixes.
Are you rooted? And did you downgrade to root?
Any other mods you've done?
To many questions to really help out. But more than likely, your questions have already been asked and answered in this forum.
Just a thought also upgrade your Google Play Services.

Ive been going nuts trying to fix this im new to android and i have tried everything i know to fix it. My device is rooted. I tried to restore from titanium backup but to no avail. Is there a way i can uninstall and reinstall the bad apps? Im at a complete loss on this :\
I cant upgrade any apps or do anything it seems. I cant upgrade google play services without the play store and i cant get new apps without it either. Its like my device is soft bricked

I am running stock 5.0.1 lollipop rom. I am not running xposed or and mods of any sort. Should i factory reset my phone and re root it?
I would go into settings>apps and see if you can uninstall any upgrades to play store or Google play services. You can actually uninstall all those apps and go on the web browser and download Google pay store to start fresh and then load apps.
You mentioned Titbu which leads me to believe you may have restored versions of the apps which may be outdated and don't work well with lollipop or restored corrupted data.

Thats the funny and dare i say evil thing about this i can go to the playstore online but when i try to install apps NOTHING HAPPENS no app downloading screen nothing nada. I made the titanium backup immedietly after rooting on lollipop. As far as i can tell i cant do anything more. I have unstalled updates to both services and run force stop on both of them still nothing.
I just force stopped and uninstalled updated on google play store and services still nothing. :/
Try wiping data on those apps also you tube uninstall that completely.
Edfunkycold
Have a great day!
How do i go about doing that? Sorry for asking so many questions. When it comest to android Im a total noob at best
Since you said you have titanium backup it's even easier go into Titbu find the App listed under the back up and restore tab. Click on the App then click on wipe data you can actually click to uninstall also within titbu.
Edfunkycold
Have a great day!
So just go to uninstall then restore? Im just making sure since its a system app and i dont want to ruin my phone
Yeah they install them as system apps but you can remove them. Just start with wiping data not uninstalling. Them reboot the phone. If that does not work then uninstall and then re download them starting with play store. Once that's running using play store download the others. One at a time.
Edfunkycold
Have a great day!
Ok im doing that now ill let you know how it goes
Tb has been hung on the restore screen for about 10 minutes now should i just let it keep going???
You should not restore from titbu you should have downloaded a fresh app and installed it starting with the Google play store. But go ahead and reboot the phone.
Edfunkycold
Have a great day!
Tb is still hung on restoring the google play store its been over 2 hours now :/
I said reboot the phone...
Edfunkycold
Have a great day!
Just did it installed my old back up but no luck is there anywhere i can just download the apk and install manually???

Hello everyone, I've got a question. Sometimes while searching on google I find a forum post (usually about Android or something like that) and I click on it, and it loads up a porn website ad! I have to go back and then click the link again! I have no idea how this is happening.
I don't download any warez on my phone, all my apps are off the market.
It's independent of the browser. I've used Opera, firefox, and chrome.
I thought "OK, maybe I have downloaded SOMETHING incorrectly!" so I flashed my device and EVERYTHING is stock and ALL the apps are reloaded by themselves from the Play Store restore feature upon turning on the device.
I clicked a link that went to androidforums.com and I my device automatically started downloading an APK! It was called "hotvideos-rm-rp1.apk" and I thought WHAT IN THE WORLD IS HAPPENING!
What can I do to stop this? This is absurd! I've never used my phone to look at any porn! I don't have any warez or cracked apps or anything like that.
Can anyone help me? This is starting to bother me deeply.
I'm on a Galaxy Note 4.0.4 stock configuration.
Thank you SO much in advance!
hi, check exactly what apps are being restored by playstore, add adblock or simliar if possible, backup pictures,vidoes,music, contacts etc from sdcard and then format sdcard..........btw i`m not talking from experience, i`m just suggesting some steps to follow......hope it solves your problem
I suggest you download adsfree from market to stop those anoying porn ads, adsfree require root. Another way is using and airpush to detect which are bad ads apps and uninstall them all. Hope that help.

Hi, thanks for your reply. I knew all the apps that were installed, I guess one of them must be buggy. I had backed up my stuff and just reflashed my device and including the SD card, and just resyncing some information over (of course all google information) and then no pictures or videos. I just started anew. It still happened. Thanks though.

I don't have root,but I tried the app Airpush and it didn't find anything. But I did uninstall 5 or 6 apps yesterday before installing Airpush to see if I had any bad apps. I guess it's possible the app isn't installed anymore. But I haven't done much browsing of the web to see if the issue is remedied. Hopefully it is.
Thanks for your advice. I'll report back with the apps I've uninstalled if it turns out to be one of them that was the problem. I've got a 3 hour bus ride today to another city and I'm going to using my phone a lot to browse! Thanks again .
So following a tutorial by Android Cowboy, I got some Google apps to work (except youtube). Unfortunately, messages will come up saying "google service frameworks has stopped working", or process.gapps.something has stopped working". How do I stop these from showing up? They are quite annoying.
I found the easiest way to get this working was to backup the same apps from my phone, galaxy nexus, using titanium backup and then restoring them to the kindle hdx. This does require root though. But this got my google services all working and as long as I don't try to download anything from the play store then I can search the site just fine.
Just remember to immediately turn off auto updates in the play store and stop any updates that have already tried to start.

His HDX is rooted, so after installing SafeStrap (a recovery program), he flashed the gapps.
I would do anything to get rid of these error messages. Does rooting accomplish this? I am hesitant to root because all I really want is google apps working flawlessly and I don't want to risk the root process (scared of losing warranty and bricking).
Right now you can't get both Amazon and Google working together. People are working on that.
If you want Google, you have to rid all of Amazon stuff (or enough of it so it doesn't interfere w/ Google stuff).
Remember, you can always load up factory image, which would essentially unroot your device, and voila, good for returns.

I'm not rooted. I just got my HDX, so I don't won't to screw it up straight out of the box by doing something wrong with rooting. I guess I'll just wait for someone to say something that doesn't include rooting.
Alright so basically everything I'm about to say will make me look like an idiot. I've poked around on my phone removing a bunch of stuff it looked like I didn't need with some of it being recommended to not be removed and one day I couldn't connect to the google play store because it said check your connection and try again with a retry button and hitting retry would just bring the profile panel out from the side. So I installed the alternative App Store Aptoide and everything was fine because I didn't need the play store. i think I may have used lucky patcher the first time I screwed up the play store and tried to install clean versions now that I think of it. But now no google app whatsoever works including stuff like snapchat that says I need to update google play services in order to continue and then it takes me to my broken play store. I've tried to uninstall updates and reinstall the google apps to no avail. Please help! I'm slowly losing functionality of my phone

Your best bet will be to reflash a stock rom for your device. Also Aptoide and lucky patcher are warez apps and not allowed to be talked about on the site. Either one of those could easily have had some malware embeded into the apks.
Word of advice. Unless you know what your doing dont go deleting things.
Thanks, sorry I didn't know about those apps. Roughly how much will I lose by flashing a stock rom?

You will most likely be starting from a clean set up so back up everything you need like pictures and such.
Also this is probably also not allowed but where can I get a stock rom since I never backed mine up ? I know I'm stupid

Look in the forums for your device. A simple Google search for stock rom (device name) should get you what you need.
I am aware that we have got google stuff working again on the kindle.. however i am in a big of a mess.
Frankly i need some help, Is it best to just delete all of google old apk's. Account manager, framework, play services... and reinstall the new versions?
If so, what are the versions that would be best to intall. Should i just go find the newest apks of the above?
For play services, 7.0.99 is currently the last version that works on Fire devices, 7.3 and 7.5 always crash. That also means we can not use latest GMail and Play Games, as they are depended on newer service version.
About other apps, latest version will work.
so, to get everything working, do i need to download 7.0.99 google serves, account manager, and framework?
I am just wanting things to work again.

+1 on this
You really should read around the boards. I know the info is disorganized, but a big reason is that so many people ask the same question over and over again in different places. There are 4 (maybe 5) play store threads all but one answer this question. Read them and you should be able to figure it out. If you cannot, ask in one of those.
Sorry for the rant, but I answered this question this morning in another thread.

Got a no mark S4 clone on 4.2, perfectly happy with it, got CWM and a new rom on it, its fine.
I have exposed and boot manager and once a day it has its icon telling me 'google play services' has auto installed, and every other day an app called 'recents' with a sort of C:\ terminal icon. Now, neither of these I want, I've deleted them so, SO many times, selected 'dont auto update' and also 'dont notify' from within google play, set my firewall to block anything google when on 4g etc...
Is there ANY way to stop it installing stuff I dont need?

The only way is to build a new aosp rom for your device. My advise is remember that you get what you pay for and clones never really have any of the hardware they claim they do. I think you will find you are better off ditching the device and buying a new one.

That doesnt actually help me at all.
The phone is fine, no issue with it. Has a new rom on it, specs were as described, its a problem with google, and the play store auto installing, it did this on my old S2 and my galaxy tab stock, so its not the hardware.
There must be a way to stop the play store doing this apart from uninstalling the play store as I am currently doing.

Then that will lead me to think it is one of the apps you have installed. Some shady apps like CCleaner will install other apps. I would wipe the device completely and then install your apps one by one until you find the issue.
