How to get back Google Play? - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
I was running a cm 13 ROM on my Galaxy S 3 i9300. With Google Play. But after installing several ROMs it's gone. I have the same ROM but when I now install it it comes without Gapps. How come? Is there a way to switch them off/on somewhere so they won't get installed?
How to get it back? I have tried to intsall Google Play separately but none seam to work. Google services just keeps crashing.

If it comes without GApps, you can try flashing them... http://opengapps.org/
To check your type of processor, you can try using Droid Info(this one is better I think) or CPU-Z. Since you don't have Play Store, probably APK mirror is a choice.
If this is not what you want, please explain yourself better.
( I am assuming you have a custom recovery to flash OpenGapps, since you tried several ROMs)

I have Clocworkmod recovery (if this answers the question). Since I rooted the phone, I have only tried like 3-4 different CM ROMs. Only one of them came without Google. Others came with Google. But few days ago when I flashed the same ROMs several times I suddenly didn't get Google anymore. How come if it's the same ROM file?
Thanks for the links, I'll check the out later. Gotta run ATM.

That seems very strange, since its the same file. Did you tried downloading and reflashing the zip again? Something weird could have happened, resulting in a corrupted file.
By the way, I just noticed that CWM 6.0.4.7 and 6.0.4.5 have some problems with the OpenGapps, according to their FAQ(section 5)

Opengapps was what I needed! And it worked. Thanks!
But yeah, I was certainly flashing same ROM files. First few times I got Google and at some point not anymore. I did not download new zip files in the meantime. I don't even remember where I did I get one of them. I have noticed a similar thing some time ago that flashing the same ROM gave me a little different outcome. I don't remember exactly, but I think it was something like although I wiped cache and user data, I still had all my settings in place after flashing.

galaxy note 2 verizon (sch i605) will not load new rom!

So here is the issue. I have a verizon note 2 sch i605. I have had it for a few months. I used the casual method to unlock the bootloader and install a rooted rom. From there i installed jedi x rom since it was the best i could find at the time. Didnt really like any of the other roms out there, especially ones without touchwiz. Makes no sense to have a note 2 without s pen functionality right?
So i kept jedi x for a while. And in my searchings a month ago i saw it had a new version. I also saw a new version for jellybeans which i sort of liked before, and a jedimaster rom. I figured id try both since i am a flashaholic.
I went to install the jellybeans rom and it installed fine. Rebooted and it got to the galaxy note 2 screen (first screen) rebooted, and went right back into twrp. I figured it was strange. So i wiped dalvik and cache and rebooted again. Same thing. Strange x2. I then did factory reset, wiped dalik and cache. Same. I gave up on jellybeans figuring it was a bum rom.
After that i tried installing jedimaster. Installed fine. Wipe dalvik and cache. Reboot. Same issue as with jelly beans... strange x13... not sure what was happening, and figuring it had nothing to do with the roms, i quit on the new ones.
I then went to to new version of jedix titled jedixv12. I wanted to see if it would dirty flash, so i tried it. It did just fine. Wiped dalvik and cache. Rebooted. Booted up perfect. In playing around with it i noticed that superuser was gone and supersu replaced it. Opened supersu and it informed me there was no superuser binary! All my old apps still had permission, but no new ones could gain... weirrrrrd. So obviously that rom would do no good. I then wiped everything and fresh installed the rom. Worked fine again. No superuser binary still.
Ok so that rom sucked. I tried then to go to jellybeans from this new version of jedix. Still same problem.
So heres the question. Am i doing something wrong? I have flashed other roms to this device many times. I actually went from jedi x to jellybeans when i first got the device rooted! Now it wont? I can not flash any new roms to my device. I am stuck with jedi x for good unless i can fix this! I have no idea what the problem is since another version of jedi x installs perfectly and boots. It just seems like my device wont let go of jedi x.
Please help if you have any ideas. I am open to anything. I have exausted my knowledge base and i would like to pick yours now.
Also... looked around the internet and i cant find anyone with this issue at all. Not even close.
You may want to install twrp again, but this is just a blind suggestion. I seemed to have this problem before. Do you have check md5 selected in twrp?

Nope. I have everything checked that was checked originally. I have changed nothing. As i said before, it used to be fine, and is fine when installing fresh copies of jedi x.
I havent tried reinstalling twrp. But i cant see why that should be an issue since it installs things fine.

Are you sure you are on the latest TWRP 2.5.0.0?
Also, in superuser you may have an option to update binaries.
But it sounds like your root might be borked and a complete and fresh unlock/reroot might not be a bad idea.
Also, as already mentioned. Are you verifying the md5 is good on your rom downloads?

The issue with superuser only happens when i install jedixv12. It is fine on my rom that i use right now. SuperSU is the problem i believe. It says that it cant find the binary and cant install one. Basically says screw you you arent rooted. But as soon as i revert back to my original jedi x rom it is fine.
I dont check md5 but i have downloaded the roms multiple times so i am pretty sure that one of the downloads should have been good. I am attempting to install a new recovery to see if it fixes my issues.

May not necessarily need a new recovery, maybe just make sure you're on the updated one. Are you still on the twrp version included with casual unlock? If so, it is likely out of date. If you aren't already aware, you can just install the goo manager app from playstore, tick menu, then install open recovery script and it will flash and bring you current

I was on the original one that came with casual. I just updated to the newest using rom toolbox pro.
Just as a weird side note... i updated and tried to install jellybeans again. After the install it says "your device does not seem to be rooted. Install supersu now?" I swiped to install and it just rebooted. Then same thing as before. Stuck at samsung galaxy note 2 screen then restarts itself and goes back to twrp. I am soooo confused. Thinking about trying to use cwm see if it makes a difference.
UPDATE:
Tried cwm. Same results. Obviously not a problem with recovery. Very confused.

Need help with google server communication

When signing in my google account, I get the error Problem communicating with google server. try again later.
Device LG G3 VS985
Rooted
Newest nightly of cm13
Tried different versions of opengapps
Tried installing google apps from apk mirror
Hosts looks normal
2 step disabled
Cleared cache for google apk's
Disabled and reenabled apps
Fully wiped and reinstalled Cm and Gapps
Cleared davlik and cache
History:
This all worked on a previous phone same model. replaced original device due to a 3000lb crushing incident.
This device, tot back, rooted, TWRP installed, 35b installed, flashed 47a rooted stock version.
Everything works.
Wipe system and install cm as I have done on previous device, and here I am.
I'm missing something but cant figure out what it is.
I have read through forum after forum and tried everyones so called fix but nothing works.
I even flashed my old backup from my previous device but had issues with updating gapps due to being older.
I've learned alot from you guys but this has me baffled.
FWIW I'm running into the EXACT same issue on AOSP/cm13 based roms. I've tried Dirty Unicorn, PAC alpha, and ParanoidAndroid all with the same issue. The official cm13 gets through connecting to googles servers, but I have sms issues on that.
I'm really not sure what could be causing it, as I've been searching the same as you and tried all of the posted "solutions" by other users. Also, it seems that most people are running into this error after they enter their username and password, but for me it won't even get that far.
If you find a solution PLEASE let me know, I had to revert to using stock 47a debloated, and I hate the LG skin.

On some roms it does go through for me (aospb, beanstalk), but then outgoing sms fails. I think it may be my device honestly...
Ok, got cm 12.1 to work with open gapps super. I'm able to setup gmail accounts and such. Did a full wipe. Used a clean SD card with only the files needed to flash.
Gonna try upgrading to cm13.

Got it working. The route I took was using a clean sdcard with only cm12 snapshot and your choice of open gapps. Wipe internal everything and flash the 2 files on the sdcard. Reboot. After all is said and done, grab the current cm13 nightly and matching gapps package and dirty flash both. from a clean sdcard. This worked for me. Good luck.

Cannot update Google Play Services error 506 on xt912 spyder

Hi Guys,
I'm needing a little help. I have my phone rooted and it was flashed with CM11. I switched back to the stock rom to check something and when I tried to reactivate the slot my rom was in, the reactivation failed. So I figured if I have to put a rom back on, I would try something new. After reading some reviews on a couple of roms, I choose the Pacman LP rom 5.1.1. Installed and flashed the gapps. All of the google stuff updated fine. A couple of days later I noticed I wasn't able to use the data to go online. The phone and texts were fine. I thought it was the rom, so I deleted it and reflashed. Again, couldn't go online. Contacted my carrier and the found out the APN wasn't listed. Added it and all was good again. So I thought.
After flashing the rom I again flashed the gapps, only this time google play services will not update. It keeps flashing error code 506. I've wiped the cache several time and have also done a factory reset to no avail. I've also deleted the rom and tried installing it in a different slot, and that isn't working either. I've downloaded newer versions of gapps, but cannot get them to install at all. When trying, I either get error code 40 or 70.
I've deleted the cache from Google Play Store and Google Play Services and I've also gone into data/data and deleted the cache from com.android.vending. Nothing seems to work.
After this long story, my question is, if go into the stock rom and delete safestrap and reinstall it, could that possibly fix my issue?

Try mokee, cyanogen, or one of the unofficial roms like resurection remix or something like. I am currently running on my droid 4 and razor resurection remix but based on android M. It all depends on what you like. If you like to customize and highly configurable rom resurection remix based on android M is good to go. I use open gapps projects.

Problem flashing with fireflash

I apologize if there is an answer for this but I couldn't find it. I'm trying to flash a deodexed rom to OF1 build on my verizon S4 so i can install xposed and get free youtube red and other features.
Ive tried this rom found here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga.../stang5litre-ultra-note5-mdk-oc1-of1-t3334535 , and the stock deodexed OF build both with the same problem.
I followed the directions exactly multiple times and have the same issue each time.
already rooted and swapped out kingroot for SuperSU (was a nightmare in itself, had to sort of combine both methods found here to get it to work, https://missingtricks.net/replace-kingroot-kinguser-with-supersu-superuser-android-guide/)
My issue is that once I add the wipe and zip files to fireflash I will click the lightning bolt and it will go through the mess of files across the screen but then the screen goes black and it never does anything else. I waited for 3 hours once and nothing. it will just sit with a black screen and the blue LED will stay solid and the green one will pulse.
Any suggestions?
on a side note this phone fails to recognize the sim card or get any form of mobile signal (supposedly a hardware issue from what ive read) and the mic doesn't seem to work as voice commands do nothing (assuming another hardware issue?). any help here would be appreciated too.
Did you download your copy of flashfire from the play store? If so, that wont work. The last two releases for flashfire are fragged on the s4.
Use the flashfire included here https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s4-verizon/development/rom-super-wizcyan-s6-s7-apps-jasonrr-t3550230
Try and flash the rom first, see if your problems persist.

GApps error after installing custom ROM

So I have got this Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 3G 10.1" that has been lying in a cupboard for a around a year, mainly because I've been busy Now there's a family member of mine who would really need a tablet so I thought this one would be perfect for her!
From thinking I went on to doing and started with getting rid of the stock software and installing some nice custom ROM.
As I found out i couldn't use USB (probably busted data-cable), I rooted the tab using KingRoot and went on installing CWM recovery. Afterwards long story short: I've tried both CWM and TWRP, different ROM and android versions (Lineage, CM, Slim etc.) and different GApps packages from different developers but the problem still seems to come up :crying:
The problem itself is that when I've installed any of the above mentioned ROMs, all the GApps seem to not have been installed correctly (even though the installation process in recovery went smoothly) and basically none of them works (notifications saying that any GApp has stopped keep on coming up and I can't find any Google app in the menu except something things like "com.google.android..." or "com.android.vending...") otherwise everything seems perfectly fine.
Maybe there are others here experiencing the same issue or there's someone who knows how to fix this here, any help will be very appreciated :good:
Hello,
First, have you checked that the ROM you flashed was fully compatible with your device? Yes, this is obvious, but I have to ask.
Second, I'm not a ROM flashing via custom recovery fan... The best way to efficiently flash a ROM in my opinion is Odin-Download mode but whatever (your USB port is screwed, so pfu.)
Redownloading apps doesn't work for you? (updating the apk may fix that!)

Thanks for your reply!
Yes, I do have used ROMs compatible with my device as they've all are made for espresso3g (which is my device).
I know it's not really the best way but I'll keep on trying with custom recovery for some more time and then perhaps try buying a new cable, and see if that works.
Tried installing Google Play Store from APK both on a clean ROM without GApps and with, but it still doesn't run and keeps on saying that either Google Play Store or "com.google.process.gapps" has stopped.
Alright...
I'm out of idea x/

Hello...!
You could try the following....
1. make absolutely sure you are using the correct version of gapps for the custom rom you are currently using. If your custom rom is on android 6, you need gapps for android 6 for example.
2. after flashing gapps wipe cache/dalvik and make a factory reset BEFORE exiting twrp. You will lose personal data but since you are preparing to give the device to somebody else that should not be much of a concern.
Let me know if it helps, if it does not, I might be able to try and provide additional suggestions.
Good luck!

Hi and thanks for your reply!
1. The ROMs I've been trying to install are all android 6.0.1 and I've been trying with different OpenGApps packages for the 6.0 version which should work (except CM 12 which is android 5.1 with which I've tried OpenGApps and A-Gapps for Android 5.1).
2. Tried that with 3 different ROMs today and the results are following: Slimrom gets stuck in setupwizard which doesn't start, CM 12 starts but the same error as first seems to appear (I get notifications about GApps which stop working) and Lineage bootloops the lineage start screen.

Ok...
This is what I would do if it was my device and I was facing what you are describing. It might take some time and a little patience to do everything described here, but it might also work.
1. Usin Odin, flash latest available official rom for the device. Let it boot and complete setup.
2. Use odin and use CF autoroot to root. Again boot and complete setup.
3. Flash Twrp. Enter Twrp and flash latest flashable supersu.zip. At this time I believe is version 2.82. Again boot and let it reach your welcome screen.
4. Enter Twrp. Enter advanced wipe. Wipe everything except external SD and usb at least 3 times. Do not exit twrp.
5. Install you rom. Do not exit Twrp.
6. After installing your rom, Twrp will ask you if you want to wipe cache/dalvik. "Yes" but DO NOT reboot.
7. Install correct version of gapps for your custom rom (correct both android version and architecture version). Again twrp will ask you to wipe cache/dalvik. "Yes" and this time reboot.
See what happens. If it gets stuck, try entering twrp again and do a factory reset only, only once and reboot again.
If that fails again... I will at a loss here myself too...
I did a quick search here on xda on P5100, I am providing some links that you can take a look at. You probably already searched yourself but you never know...

If nothing else helps, perhaps the best way to go around this would be to find a custom rom with at least some google apps pre-installed, in order to save you the trouble you are currently facing.

So I have got this Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 3G 10.1" that has been lying in a cupboard for a around a year, mainly because I've been busy Now there's a family member of mine who would really need a tablet so I thought this one would be perfect for her!
From thinking I went on to doing and started with getting rid of the stock software and installing some nice custom ROM.
As I found out i couldn't use USB (probably busted data-cable), I rooted the tab using KingRoot and went on installing CWM recovery. Afterwards long story short: I've tried both CWM and TWRP, different ROM and android versions (Lineage, CM, Slim etc.) and different GApps packages from different developers but the problem still seems to come up :crying:
The problem itself is that when I've installed any of the above mentioned ROMs, all the GApps seem to not have been installed correctly (even though the installation process in recovery went smoothly) and basically none of them works (notifications saying that any GApp has stopped keep on coming up and I can't find any Google app in the menu except something things like "com.google.android..." or "com.android.vending...") otherwise everything seems perfectly fine.
Maybe there are others here experiencing the same issue or there's someone who knows how to fix this here, any help will be very appreciated :good:

Hey, just try uninstalling Google play services and install them again. I faced the same issue and now it's all working on my Samsung Galaxy Core 2
