Play store
Hello, I spent couple hrs last night trying to get the play store, I used Android cowboys way, the other way in this forum and yours. All not linked to a comp. Android cowboys with apks would show no connection after email log in, the other method in this forum worked briefly putting things in the priv-app., then went into a constant load white screen. Your method would not get past the email load page. Before each attempt I deleted the previous.. Feeling defeated I did a hard reset on the 4th gen Kindle.. Well, it reloaded with no es file manager, not your app but still had root, king user, and google play store, click the store and it works perfectly. Not sure what happen during the reset but thanks, the desired result was achieved.

What most likely happened was the /data/data information still existed when you removed the old ones. Mine are installed to system. So what a factory reset did was get rid of that previous /data stuff. Glad it got squared away

Was thinking the same, may be a option for people who have tinkered with this before finding your app. I was surprised to see the root survive a reset..

Yeah root is installed to system also. But some are using systemappmover to move the apks to system. Which will cause some problems if using my tool after that. Might need to figure out a way to detect and remove old ones. Not sure if I will be able to

I tried installing google apks before, some guide i followed. But didnt succeed so uninstalled. I even did a reset on it today and tried installing but same.
When doing adb install apk I get "Install_failed_older_sdk"
Good app, I have lots of gapps running now, sideload on some then they updated OK, but need google play services 7.3, I can get it to update so need to sideload it.

Does anyone have a gmail apk that will work with this. It keeps saying that google play services needs to be updated
Out of Space msg with Play Store update
I used this tool to install gapps. @bibikalka says here we can now update play store and services, but when i try to update play store I get message: "Out of Space - Google Play store couldn't be installed. Free up some space and try again."
I have 2+ Gb free space. I've heard of this happening and being unrelated to space, but can't track down the problem. Does your tool move or rename something that could cause this? Any ideas how to fix? thx
EDIT: OS 4.5.3
EDIT: So I brilliantly uninstalled playstore, then got the out of space message when i tried to reinstall (both older and new versions). So restored from TI backup and now playstore won't open at all, just crashes back to wherever i start it from.
EDIT3: ok, so I was in denial about space left in /system. :silly: Moved some stuff out and now store loads again, but still get "out of space" when i try to update.

Awesome!!! Looks like you are a great candidate for 4.5.4 !!! It's actually very simple to get to a good place with a modified 4.5.4, supersu.zip installable via TWRP, and JMZ tool. I was scared of the update and that setting up things again would be hard, but the bricking episode showed me how easy it is If you insist, you can reflash a modified 4.5.3, this way you'd go back to where you were. This is probably 30 min of your time, to do all of this.
All your stuff in /data will be kept. You'll want to go to /data/apps and remove those 2 dummy directories that JMZ tool puts there to block GAPPS updates. This way GAPPS could update, but start with the playstore first.
I did get a similar "out of space" message on 4.5.3 when I played with GAPPS a lot. It has something to do with odex files or perhaps some other stuff. Not a fun message to deal with.

lol . . . (You really are very funny!) Anyway, I was planning to update to 4.5.4 for the very reason of no-hassle Gapps. Then saw your post about current play services/store working--apparently with 4.5.3 since guy you replied to had that OS--and got sidetracked.

Thanks, that's the info I was asking for. After fair amount of messing with this, I'm back to the original problem with 4.5.3 and latest play services and store: Play store won't load; just get white screen and spinner. So now off to do 4.5.4 update!
New Here
Hi I'm new here. A few questions for you. Does this require root? My understanding is that the newest version can't be rooted. Is this true? Also will this allow me to install the google play store and run any app from the play store?
Thanks!
Problem with playstore
Hi, my playstore stopped working, I open it and it is in blank, so I tried to install it again, but it disappeared from my device. I have a Kindle Fire HD 6 with King root, could you help me with this? Thanks

Hi there
I hope someone can help me or give me a pointer. The short story is that Google Play has reverted to the Android Market (v2.3.4) and I can't download anything from the Market.
The longer story is this...
I have a Samsung Galaxy S2, bought sim-free over a year ago, running Android 2.3.3. Yesterday I had a problem with Google Play not being able to download some apps. This was clearly wrong: I had 1.5GB free of 16GB. In the course of trying to fix this (ha!), and trying to find recovery mode, I borked the device further. Google Play reverted to Android Market v2.3.4, and some apps got messed up in random ways and consistently crashed. I uninstalled some of the crashing apps, but I still cannot download anything from the Market in order to reinstall them.
I've cleared cache and cleared data for various apps and services: Market, Download Manager, Google Play Services (odd that that's still there), Google Services Framework, and maybe some others.
The problem with the Market is that when I touch to download an app it readies itself for the download (moving diagonal lines on the progress bar) and then the progress bar disappears as if it's finished. There is no download, and certainly no install, but no error message either. On the other hand my web-based Google Play account says I've just downloaded it. And meanwhile my web-based Google Play account says there are no devices associated with my account.
Given the situation with Market, I can't even download something like MarketFixer which may help. I can sideload apks, but I can't find a (legitimate-looking) apk like MarketFixer to download.
I've never rooted my device, so I don't expect to have to do that to fix this. Before do a factory reset, does anyone have any ideas?
Many thanks
Nik
Update: Solved in thread below
ah darn!! i thought i could help you, up until the point where you said you didn't root . If you rooted then you could just install the latest version of google play

Thanks for even thinking of that, dragid10.
Hmm... theoretically, if I routed, where would I get the latest version of Google Play from? I can't access the Market, after all.
There are a few threads in the apps forum here on XDA one is http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1932489
I also don't think you need to be rooted to install it. Just make sure you turn on unknown sources from settings(either under applications or security)
Also have you tried uninstalling updates for the market or removing your Google account from your phone and re-adding it.
Edit:Updated thread URL original one was a closed thread.

nsmith4, thank you. That's moved me a bit forward. I couldn't find a Google Play apk, and now I've got Google Play back on my device, and the web version of Google Play knows about my device again.
(I did try to delete my Google account and it refused me. It said it was needed by some applications and should do a factory reset instead!)
So now it seems I'm back to my original problem: I (still) can't download any apps from Google Play because it says (wrongly) there's insufficient space on device. I shall keep looking for an apk of MarketFixer or similar. This problem is now the same as the one reported here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1436188
although of course I cannot download MarketFix to help me fix the market.
Update: That install of Google Play didn't stick. When I rebooted the phone it took me through the Android initiation process (asked for Google username and password) and Market was back in place of Play.
Looks like a problem with factory resetting every time you restart. That is a bigger problem. Google Play will automatically update itself (all update to com.android.vending will).
Try taking the ICS update (if you haven't already), you need a fresh install of the OS. Or you can root and install a ROM. Same thing

You say you "borked the device further". The question is, what happened? What did you do, and what got borked, in what way? If you don't even know, then it will be difficult or impossible to repair. The easiest and fastest solution will be to install a fresh ROM, like Gagdude said.

gagdude, post-mortem: No, I didn't keep a careful record of what I did. The "borking" is a combination of the problems listed above. I'm going to do a factory reset and upgrade to ICS, as suggested, thanks. Will keep you posted.
Mid-point update: Successfully factory reset my phone (Volume up + Power on, factory reset, then reboot). Now my SIM card isn't recognised (sigh).

Downloaded the new YouTube update today. Opened it. I get a pop-up stating I don't have Google Play services installed on my phone and its needed to run the app (or at least sign in).
So I go to download it... It downloads, starts installing and then I get an error message saying "incompatible with other applications using the same shared ID"
Anyone else having this issue? I'm at a loss...
Getting this same error on my iconia a500. Any ideas how to fix this?
Luckily I titanium'd recently so I was able to roll back but I want to upgrade and this is annoying the crap out of me.
Updated the error message
Argh... Tried a fresh install and still an issue... Wife is having the same issue
Are you guys running custom ROMs? What type? Stock based? Custom kernel? ASOP?

I have the exact same problem. I updated the YouTube app from Google Play last night. When I opened it, a message displayed saying that I needed to install Google Play Services. When I tried to install it, I got the same error message as you.
I tried doing a factory reset and then attempted to install Google Play Services before I restored any apps, but no luck.
I'm not running any custom ROMs. I'm running the stock version of Android (4.0.3) that came with my iDeaUSA YG A777 tablet. I don't have any custom kernels, either.

Running Vigor 360. Problem didn't show up until latest YouTube update. It seems others on Nils business sense are having issue too.
people with this problem can you please check something for me.
go to settings > apps "all tab" and look for google services framework\
if this is here: clear data, then reboot.
No go. Found it, cleared data, rebooted
Went into market, updated YouTube. Opened it, get the pop-up saying Google Play services needs to be installed, hit ok, takes me to the market to install it. It downloads, goes to install them I get the incompatible error.
This sucks :/

thank god for titanium backup, restoring things so easily.
I had this problem running Nils Business ICS 3.6, flashed Rezone Redux last night.....now everything plays happily.
Yeah, I'm starting to think its a issue with a certain type of sock-based custom ROM.....
I think it has something to do with ROMs that already have services installed. I am checking it out.

A solution to this problem that worked for me was found on another Android forum.
Because I'm new to this forum, I'm not allowed to post links. So, if you put "Google Play services won't install" into Google (with the quotes), then it should be the first page that comes up.
PM me the link. I'll post it.
I'm also having the same problem. I've installed custom rom jellyblast.
Is there any fix yet?

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
First, please forgive my lack of knowledge in this area and I truly thank you for taking the time to read my post. My problems were caused when an idiot friend of mine rooted my gpad 8.0 and went on a deleting spree. He totally removed anything with the name "google" as well as a host of other things I don't even know of. Here's my major issues...
1) All Google service including the play store app was deleted so I tried using the play store website which only says "no device found" or "you don't have any devices."
2) When I try adding any type of account to tablet I get box stating "Unfortunately unified EULA has stopped."
3) When I try opening files to help me fix the problem I only get a box reading "cannot open file" or "not supported."
I have done the factory reset and it does not help restore any of the removed items. Am I fighting a losing battle or or is there a way to put the google functions back into it?

All you have to do is install Gapps on your device.
There are many Gapps packages(Google apps) from basic to full function Gapps.
You can visit the opengapps website and download Gapps package you require and flash then using recovery.(assuming you have root and a custom recover installed)
Unlike others apps you cannot install Google apps from apk( apps like Google play store and play servics)
I'm pretty sure this will solve your problem
Please thank this post if this helps you my goal is to become the youngest senior developer on XDA.
Thank you, I should have mentioned there is no recovery installed on the tablet. In the days since I posted my question I did install Gapps but I haven't been able to do anything with it.

That's fine, then the safest way, is to install a stock recovery image of you stock OS. This will be available on your devise's forum. After acquiring the file, you'll need to reboot into Download Mode and install it.(there are different methods for different brands, you can surely find how to install a stock recovery,on your devise's forum.)
Please note that this will erase everything on your device, so consider taking a backup before restoring stock image. This WILL definitely fix it.
I want to be very clear that I have no problem paying for apps, supporting developers and that sort of thing. I recently installs VMOS to spoof my location in an app.. a dating app that is free, and also for free the app allows you to browse users in other parts of the world.
However I wondered if I could do the same thing with Tinder.
The issue I've ran into is I cannot get Tinder to install within VMOS.
So my main/actual phone is a Samsung Galaxy Note 10 + running android 9.
And the fake/vmos is 1.0.49
I uninstalled tinder on my main phone, went to google and found a website where I could download tinder 11.6.0 apk… but I needed something called SAI (split apk installer)
So I downloaded the apk, then opened the files within SAI and tinder installed and works without a problem....
However when I go to my fake phone and download the same files from the same sources tinder does not install and gives an error pretty much saying "failed to install- app not installed- Application is incompatible with this device"
I am obviously not sure what the exact reason is which is why I'm here.
When I tell it I want more details as to why it did not install I get "java.lang.Exception: application is incompatible with this device at com.aefyr.sai.installer2.impl.rootless.RootlessSaiPiBroadcastReceiver.onReceive(RootlessSaiPiBroadcastReceiver.java:57)
at android.app.LoadedApk$ReceiverDispatcher
$Args.run(LoadedApk.java:908)
at
android.os.Handler.handleCallback(Handler.java:739) at android.os.Handler.dispatchMessage(Handler.java:95)
at android.os.Looper.loop(Looper.java:135)
at android .os.HandlerThread.run(HandlerThread.java:61)
Obviously that doesn't really tell me anything in particular.. because I don't have much programming/script knowledge.
But it makes me feel there are protections in place to keep people from doing what I'm trying to do.
So if anyone is willing to help that would be awesome!
I'm unable to get the app to install via the play store.. because it doesn't even show up there by searching directly.
But when I follow a link to bring up the app within the play store it just pretty much says it's not compatible.
So is it because of protections being in place... something wrong with my vmos environment or what?
When I tried installing it on fake phone I had root turned off along with developer options also turned off.
I had install apps from unknown sources turned on.
I'm not sure what other info to provide...
I can get the same apk to work on the real phone and install..
Just unable to get it to install on vmos.
I tried File Transportation in vmos and that didn't work either... it times out or whatever.
So in general... whether it be tinder or whatever app.. how do you get something to install when play store says incompatible and file trapsportation does not work?
Maybe the apk file I have is in fact incompatible with something within vmos??
I tried some stuff within xxxxx but was still unable to get the app I mentioned earlier to install. Not really sure what needs modified/patched or whatever.
any ideas please? how does someone get an app to install within vmos that doesn't seem to want to?

What I usually do is use the root permissions in vmos to force install the apk as a system app through lucky patcher. Before doing this I would reccomend making sure that the version you are using is compatible with the vmos android os version you are running before attempting and that the package isn't considered corrupted. Also please note that when installing an apk as a system app it becomes difficult to uninstall. If you'd want to remove the icon then you would need to disable the package also through lucky patcher. I'm just throwing the idea out there and I'm not sure this solution would work for any other so hopefully it'd work for you.
Has anyone had any luck getting vmos running on an android 9 device??
If so pls let me know so I don't waste too much time trying I tried the standard one and it didn't work so I'm downloading the pro version which will take a long time
