Play store issue - Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers

Hello.
Recently i downloaded the modded play store from lucky patcher, so i uninstalled the original one. But the modded one, that i downloaded - wasnt working. I tried downloading APK of playstore, but when i open it - it crashed. Is there is any other way you can download the play store? I also tried flashing gapps, but there was an error because i already had all gapps exept google play store.
Im curently at pixel expierence ROM.
My device is rooted.
Thanks for help.

Lucky patcher is an "illegal" modifying utility . Kindly refrain from posting threads for such apps or you'll get banned permanently.

Omg okay thx ?. Didnt know

@Darekkk
I don't even want to quote your post because of the reference there.
You can wipe system, data, dalvik and cache, flash the ROM and Gapps (which contains PlayStore) again.

Did you make sure to move the official playstore apk to Priv-system apps folder. As per your post, I guess you have installed the official playstore apk as an user app.

[Q] First try CyanogenMod. I need some help here

Hi. Noob on Forum.
I decided to Install CyanogenMod on my Xoom MZ601 model.
Bootloader unlocked, cwm installed, Cyanogenmod also installed without problem.
I use the last NIGHTLY-BUILD ---> cm-10.1-20130410-NIGHTLY-everest.
Now the problem. I tried to install gapps.
I downloaded the latest gapps for jelly bean 4.2.2 ----> gapps-jb-20130301-signed.zip from goo.im/gapps/ (cannot write the complete url on the first post)
Install zip from sdcard etc using cwm. And everything seems to be perfect.
Except one. None google app is not installed. Or at least not shown nowhere on my apps.
Any idea what's wrong? How to fix that? I like jelly bean but I need gtalk, youtube, play store, google maps etc.
First u need add your Google account in phone setting> account.
Then just install YouTube, Gmail, maps etc. Those Google apps that can be downloaded from market aren't included in gapps flashable package.
I add my gmail account and I made again the gapp proccess. Still the same result. I have no problem to download all the apps from market. But I have not play store on my apps.

You have to flash the gapps at the same time as the rom as the gapps package has more then just app apks in it and it needs to be able to write to the proper areas.
How to do that? The first thing after installing ROM was to install gapps. I think that we are on a good way to find the solution :good:

When you flash the rom dont reboot, flash the gapps right after and then reboot. You will have to reflash the rom with a full wipe.
I made a wipe of disk and cache. I install rom and gapp. After, I rebooted, I add gmail account, I rebooted again and now I have News and Weather app on my apps but not play store.

I mean post the link you used to get the gapps zip file. if the browser FC then the zip maybe corrupted due to it being updated with the new play store
Try installing the new playstore yourself.

Wait you are flashing the gapps package first before this zip right. I already have the new play store running
And after looking at those link those are install able files not flash files.
Thanks a lot! With the apk problem solved

[Q] Google Play Store, do we really need it?

I have recently decided to root my S6 Edge with much success. anyhow now my Google Play Store now pops up Unfortunately Google Play Store has stopped! I have tryed everything i can possibly think of and still no luck.
My question is do I really need it? I hardly use it. I always just download my APK files. Even if i needed to update id just download the APK.
Please let me know and if I should look into a way to factory reset.
Rooting by itself doesn't cause Google Play Store to FC. Did you make any changes like deleting system apps?

I had to factory reset after rooting.
just download the Google Play Store apk file and install, it's should fix your problem, unless some app or you changed something in your ROM causing the problem,

[Q] Google Play does not open

Hi all,
I am new to this and sorry if I am repeating a thread. I have searched and haven´t really found my answer.
So I bought a Chinese phone with MTK6735 and Android 5.1. The phone does not come rooted.
The issue is that it does not come with Google Play or the GAPPS. I downloaded a copy of Google Play and installed it directly from the web browser of my phone. Now, when I click on the Play store, it doesn't really open, it's as if fails to load the app. (crashing immediately).
Can someone please advise?
Thanks
Download Google Play Services
All you need to do i download Google play services.
You can find the link by searching on Google.
Download the gapps .
Download the Gapps (search google)and flash it through recovery then it may work,i am not sure but i think it will work

Do I need to root the phone for it?
If you have recovery installed then i think not.

The Play Store crashes because it must be installed as a system app, and when you install it from an .apk it installs as a user app. It must be converted to a system app. But this requires root.
Sorry to bother again. I have tried with many methods and I still can´t.
I have tried downloading a google installer by Eric Xiang. This installed the Google frameworks and play services, but when I open Play store, it just tells me "Unfortunate, Google Play Services has stopped working". So, there's no way to open it.
Alternatively, I have tried to root it, and then install a recovery (as it was not installed by default). But here, I am having problems in rooting the device. I have tried with latest version of Kingroot and still failed. Not too sure, it may be because the device is with Android 5.1? or because the device has one of the latest Mediatek chips MT6735?

Again, you have to be rooted. Mediatek can be difficult. Sorry, but I am no help to you with this.

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

Installing Gapps

Hi Guys,

It's pretty straightforward, there are several apps that do this. You can search in Baidu.com for Gapps and the apk will show up. Install it, press the big button and there you go. You can also find several tutorials in Youtube, if you don't know how the app looks like.
Alternatively, here's another tutorial with a different app: http://en.miui.com/thread-17910-1-1.html
somehow i'm able to install Gapps using the installer, i don't know what i did to fix it, anyway its all good now, btw the link you gave is for device that is not bootloader locked
The minimum set of Gapps are very easy to install with the help of this tiny online installer. It's in Chinese, but it's intuitive.

This is the tools that i was using when trying to install Gapps, and after countless of failed effort, somehow it works on its own, i don't know what happened
For me NewGoogleInstaller works flawlessly on all firmwares, including the latest 7.2.4.
yeah, but now i'd like to know how can i set google playstore as a default app store instead of Mi app store
Everything is installed following the process but I can't download any apps from the app store..

You must update Google services
And Google Play at the same time.

Reboot your phone.
"At the same time" means can be done, but not necessarily.

Same here first time, but removed Google*, installed them again and it started working. I rebooted after Google login, Xunlei engine was disabled and download limit set to Unlimited.
it seem that after you login to playstore, you need to wait for a while for it to sync in order for you to be able to download apps, otherwise you'll get unable to contact server error message

Gotcha. Rebooting didn't change anything at first but I just kept rebooting (..a lot) and it seems to work now.

I can't find Xunlei engine.. But rebooting (numerous times) seems to work now.. Just hope it stays that way...
Xunlei engine is in Downloads apps settings.

the google installer worked to install the apps but they couldn't establish a connection to the servers. I had to restore my playstore and google apps from a titanium backup file I had and then it would work. So anyone not able to get on google apps try installing old titanium backups, it may work.
One thing to note with all of these is sometimes it just needs time.
After all, the play services and framework often have to register with Google and also update themselves (you're not guaranteed to get the most up to date version for each even with the installer).
I installed mine and they registered fine. But as soon as I tried to download an app from the play store I got weird errors.
Left it a day and boom, worked fine.
