Google Play problem - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Since I've changed my file system from ext4 to F2FS,Google Play can't install apps unless I swipe the app and reopen Google Play.I even tried to do a clean install of the ROM but without success.Even tried to clear data/cache of google services,google play app,downloads app and download manager.Can this be related to the file system format?

Hello... I quoted you there because I wanted to ask... What do you mean there? You were unable to install a stock rom? If yes then it is very possible that your file structure may by corrupt.
Also... By which method did you try to install the "clean" rom? If you just tried to flash a clean rom, say from recovery, chances are the installation would fail. You must either use SP flashtool, Odin or other similar programs to get a clean installation and correct filesystem structure...
Don't really know what else to say for the moment, please share a little more info if you wish.
(ps. how about other application installations, not originating from google store? Do they install, or are they giving you a hard time also???)

Hi.LOS 14.1 ROM stock kernel. It was installed through TWRP after wiping everything.Firstly I thought that since F2FS is a log based file system,my cache may be full but that was not the case . It's odd that on the first boot,I have no problems installing from the store but after 1 reboot, the bug occurs. And the applications that are not originating from the store,I have no problems installing them.I have Adaway and this time I thought if I install it and modify my hosts file,it will cause the problem but that wasn't the case either.

[Q] Package file invalid on all packages

I don't know what the issue is, but I cannot seem to install/update anything from the market. I keep getting "Package file invalid". I wanna say the problem is s2e, but I have no idea.
I have the download cache, apps, and private apps moved to sd-ext.
I have an LG Optimus V running IHO.
clear data and cache for the market
and force stop it
and try download again, should be work

That unfortunately didn't seem to do anything. Still getting "Package file invalid" on new installs and upgrades. ='(
It's weird, some new apps install, but most don't. Also, no updates will install. =(
Try reinstalling/trying another *2sd script/app.
By the way, if third party content (Non-market) is installing, try flashing the latest GAPPS from ROM Manager/here.
Or reinstalling market (It's easy to manipulate system apps with Titanium Backup). If the market is installed as a user app, it will cause problems.

According to Titanium Backup, the market (version 3.1.3) is installed as a system app.
So, what apps2sd app (script) do you suggest? I have my apps installed on my sd-ext partition, so I don't think I can just use Cyanogenmod's built-in one.
I've tried re-flashing gapps, but that didn't help ='(
I /could/ just re-format my phone, and re-install the ROM, but I don't feel like it (I have backups of everything thanks to Titanium Backup).
I updated my market to 3.3.11, and that seems to have helped. Kinda.
I can install new apps now (well mostly, I still got "Package file invalid" on one or two), and I was able to update some apps (some still gave "Package file invalid").
I had to uninstall/reinstall to get some to update, also. The new market helps, but my problem's still not 100% fixed.

Factory Reset Doesnt restore apps

Have a problem with my TFP, downloaded and updated to JB using this guide
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1909819
Tried getting rid of some bloatware however i obviously deleted something important as now on play store i constantly get Server error on open. Have tried the usual fix's on here of uninstalling clearing data re installing etc all to know avail.
So i tried doing a factory reset however it did not install anything i had removed, I then tried downgrading which didn't work either, so in short have i lost google play forever, does anyone have a base JB i can use to re install everything.
Please help been tinkering for hours now to no avail.

You don't say if you are unlocked and have a recovery?
Doing a factory reset will not bring back deleted apps as it only wipes the cache etc.
Re installing should have brought them apps back but I don't know how you are tying to re install.. Can you give a little bit more information on what I have asked please.

You will not be able to just install it. You will have to copy it into system/app folder using a file manager that has root support like es file explorer or root explorer.
Here is the file from the new JB update.

Copy the one I posted above into the system/app folder and give it permission rw-r--r-- and then restart the tablet to let it create the cache file.. See if that works.

I'm really not sure what you deleted all together but try this.
GO to settings-apps and go to "all"
Scroll down to Google play services and google play store and force stop both and clear data and cache for both.

Any reason why you can't unlock the device and install a recovery so you can install custom roms? or are you trying to keep your warranty intact ?
I'm also not sure why you can't just do part 3 of the instructions you followed in the original post to put jellybean back on again. ( then again you have edited so many files this might not be advisable.)

As you said i am trying to keep warranty in place at the moment, i thought that following section three would work as well as i only accidentally changed the files from the system when i had installed but every time i have tried it doesnt reinstall the apks that were removed.

[Q] Lost system files

I was running on my Samsung Galaxy s3(clean rooted) ICS and following system update notification downloaded and updated to JellyBean.
After updating I opened Titanium Backup and realized the following Apps were striken through (uninstalled):
1. AllShare Controller 1.0
2. com.sec.android.killbackground 1.0
3. Download Manager 4.0.4 – I9300BUBLG3
4. DRM Protected Content Storage 4.0.4 – I9300BUBLG3
5. Gallery 1.0.19
6. Media Storage 4.0.4 – I9300BUBLG3
7. Share App 1.0
I have 2 backups each and tried to RESTORE ... however restore process starts but never ends ?!?
Missing No.3 does force close Google Play Store immediately when I open it.
Missing No.6 gives me errors with my SD card access.
PLEASE HELP me how to restore them ? I tried Factory restore, but all those Apps are still showing NOT Installed and prevent my system from normally working !
Is there any way to re-install all system files ?
you are trying to restore ics system files to a jb. Rom.........why?!
Wipe your phone and start again never install system apps via TB .
jje
Those files listed are missing !
Do not know how to re-install them again ?>
After Factory Reset they ARE STILL MISSING ?
Google Store closes immediately

Because I assumed this is the reason my Google Store closes immediately when I attempt to open it ... and all the time the message "Unfortunately, the process com.google.process.gapps has stopped" persists ?
My Gallery is missing in apps too ? But how is possible not having Gallery app ?
Maybe you are right ... probably the update to JB uninstalled those as incompatible ?
Is it possible to be the wrong version of ODIN (3v1.85) I used to root the phone after JB update ?

thats because as already mentioned for JB they were removed and arent needed. They are part of ICS operating system. Trying to reinstall them into JB is a bit like trying to load part of windows 98 into windows 7 there just gonna cause problems.
it might be possible your installation went faulty try downloading the official rom version your on now from sammobile.com and reflash with odin and do a Wipe data/cache in recovery.
just do a clean install with Odin, re root, and only install user apps, you can restore call and sms logs using the .xml methods in titanium

I Factory reset already twice ... interesting why it doesn't fix the problem ? Still same issues with that process stopping and no Gallery and no Google Play access !
Probably downloading and reinstalling the whole JB update would help ?

I cant install an APP (App not installed)

That's it, I can't install an app (cytus) from the .apk.
If I download it from the google play I can play and every thing else is ok. but I need to use Lucky patcher too unlock things
BUT, the real problem is that I can't install any version of this apk. (I guess when I was reinstalling it from titanium backup it broke some thing, I don't know)
Additional information:
I've already installed it once; I do have space on my phone; I've reinstalled the ROM and even changed to another one but all them are Lollipop 5.1

Lucky patcher is considered warez on XDA and shouldn't be discussed.
Regarding the rest of your question, it sounds like remnants of the app in question are present, therefore resulting in your play store error. Use a file manager to explore your data and system/data folders to see if you can find anything. If you do, delete it and try again.

Hi, I've already did that. Explored the system and trying find something related to the game but I did a full wipe on my phone and there's nothing left(I guess).
I'm able to download it from google play and play the game as usual but I can't install from the apk. And the same APK can be installed on very other phones
Any other tips?
Some one can help please?
Sorry to post for the 3rd time but I'm still having this issue

the lack of information makes it really hard to help you in any way.
First of all, there's actually no root for MM.
Dirty or clean flash?
Which version did you flash?
how did you flash it?

yeah.....no. I know it's pretty convenient to keep all the app- and systemsettings and stuff, but dirty flashing MM over LP is going to mess up your system very likely. Even if you wipe cache and stuff, it just doesn't run any stable at all. So do yourself a favour and install clean.
Also, before installing TWRP and Custom Kernel, you might wanna try if your problem already exists with stock kernel and recovery. I didn't know there was any option for root w/ unlocked bootloader, so i can't say anything about the stablity of it.

Problem occurs both stock and custom,well I'll try wipe and flash it.
If you haven't wiped yet, try this. I dirty flashed from LP to MM using the FTF and this is how I got the play services to stop asking for an update so it might work for you too.
1) Uninstall updates for Google Play Services and let it revert to the copy in /system
You'll need to make sure you don't have Google Play Services listed as a device administrator first (android device manager, smart lock, Gmail on exchange, etc.)
2) Clear app data for both Google Play Services AND the Play Store app (this is crucial!)
3) Load up Play Store again and let it update Google Play Services.
It may take a few times forcing a Play Services update but it should work.
