Error Messages
If you get one of the following errors, you have installed a Google Apps Package which was signed with old certificates.
Incompatible with other application(s) using the same shared user ID.
This app won't run without Google Play services, which are missing from your phone.
The Problem
You cannot fix this error by installing/updating Google Play Services, because there is a conflict with the "shared user id".
The Solution
The "shared user ids" are stored in this file "/data/system/packages.xml".
Therefore it is very important that you don't delete the google apps manually with a Root Explorer.
Because in this case, the "shared user ids" are not getting deleted in the "packages.xml".
You should uninstall the Google Apps with the App Manager of the ES File Explorer.
Download it from the Play Store
Start the app and open the left toolbar
Go to "Tools" -> "App Manager"
Select "System Apps" from the top menu
Select the following apps (one by one) and hit uninstall and then click OK
/system/app/GooglePlayStore.apk (com.android.vending) (Google Play Store)
/system/app/GoogleContactsSyncAdapter.apk (com.google.android.syncadapter.contacts) (Google Contacts Sync)
/system/app/GoogleLoginService.apk (com.google.android.gsf.login) (Google Account Manager)
/system/app/GoogleServicesFramework.apk (com.google.android.gsf) (Google Services Framework)
/system/app/NetworkLocation.apk (com.google.android.location) (Network Location)

This will uninstall the apps correctly and the "packages.xml" gets also updated correctly.
Next Step
Afterwards reboot into recovery and wipe the cache.
Then install my updated Google Apps Package, which you can find here.
Final Step
After installing my updated Google Apps Package, reboot your device and go to the System Settings, and add your Google Account.
After clicking the "Add Account" button, there might be a bug, where the Google Icon is black and the text is not visible.
Just click the line which is completely dark, and configure your Google Account. Afterwards the Icon should re-appear.

Google Apps are updated automatically after you have installed a Google Apps Package.
Worked for me, thanks. Needed to enable Root Explorer in ES File Explorer (it's a toggle in the left-sidebar) and had to download ES Task Manager. Network Location system app didn't exist on mine (Android 4.4.4) but the fix still worked. Since I'm using CM11, I just re-installed their GApps zip package from Recovery.
Easy fix without reboot

What I did is went to settings apps, then I went to running apps, Google play services said it had 2 running service's, I opened it up and to find 7 were running and causing conflicts between the authentication and the service itself. I stopped all the services which is just like reciting because they restart. Phone works again no reboot, try this for a quick fix next time to save your day. Sincerely Jacob.

Don`t work, Google logged in but playstore Servererror
SOLVED: Look at my answer below.
Hello,
I'm new to this forum so sorry if I put this question in the wrong category. (also, I'm french, I don't speak english very well)
I have a Wiko Lenny running KitKat 4.4.2 (in fact, "WIKO LENNY Version 8") rooted, but I don't have CWM installed.
Yesterday, I installed some apps on my phone and tried using "Lucky Patcher", because I heard that it could remove ads. The website that explained how to use it said to go in Toolbox and to click "Install modded Play Store". So I clicked it, it said "Loading.." and then showed me an error that there wasn't enough space on the /system partition, only 60-70 MB free. So, as it didn't work, I uninstalled Luck Patcher but then I saw that it uninstalled the Play Store. I searched everywhere, it's not in the launcher, not in Settings->Apps, and now when I open any google app, it says that the Google Play Services needs to be updated, that they're not compatible with my device. I tried to download latest Play Store apk from various websites, but when I install it, it loads and then shows "Application not installed".
How can I get the Play Store back ?
Thanks
EDIT: I managed to install the Play Store apk using ADB from Android SDK. But if I try to install an app (or update existing), it crashes and says "Play Store stopped working". Then I need to go to Settings->Apps and to do "Clear data" for Play Store to make it run again (otherwise it crashes at launch).
EDIT 2: After some time, it showed a notification (translated from french) "Couldn't download <insert any app name here> : Couldn't retrieve information from server {error code i dont remember}".
NIL
Solved
I solved my problem by reinstalling Play Store by using ADB, and by setting it as system app with "/system/app mover" by j4velin. Now everything works perfect ^^
Hello,
i've got a pretty weird problem i can't figure out.
I'm trying to install netflix and get a 505 error in the play store. Using an apk from unknown sources, either netflix or apkmirror, tells me the installation would be an update, but fails after trying to install.
I've tried deleting the netflix folder in /android, deleting Cache and Data from google framework, playstore and Services, download manager. Restarting the phone.
The app also doesn't show up in application manager, app drawer and play store, it just Shows the regular green install Button.
Using a Note 4 n910c, latest Updates installed, no root.
Thank you in advance for your help
I have a new phone. Samsung Galaxy A50s. Model number SM-A507FN
I downloaded Arnova's Beta 6: GCam_5beta6.200105.0445build-7.2.018.apk
for Android 9+ phones from https: // ww w. celsoazevedo. com/files/android/google-camera/dev-suggested assuming it will work on my phone. However, the app has been crashing frequently and it does not work. I have upgraded the software of the phone so it was upgraded to Android 10. Kernel 4.14.62-17887617.
This app was not installed from play store so I don't know how to uninstall it now. So please let me know how to uninstall this app. It not appear in the list of installed apps either in settings or in the play store.
Because you didn't install the app from Google Play, that's why this app doesn't appear on your play store's installed apps list. I think the reason why your apk file keeps crashing and not working is that the installed apk version isn't compatible with your device system. So it's important to find a proper apk file before downloading. Maybe you can find some useful infor abt the compatibility between device version and app version in this article apktovi.com/blogs/how-to-find-a-proper-variant-for-apk-download.
And if you're lookin' for a way to uninstall apk file, you can apply the following simple steps: Go to "My file" application>search for the apk file>long press and tap "Delete" in the upper right-hand corner. Hope this helps!!
Hi,
I am trying to get blankstore installed on my Magisk-rooted Android 10 Pixel 3 XL.
When I try to install the GmsCore, GsfProxy, FakeStore, or BlankStore APKs (from here: https://github.com/microg/android_packages__apps_GmsCore/wiki/Downloads)...
When I try to install through the Chrome downloads tab, I get an error that says "App not installed".
When I try to install through SAI, SAI tells me that the newest version is already installed on my phone in SPITE of the fact that I have never even tried to install them before BESIDES from the unsuccessful attempts at installing them through Chome downloads tab. AND, there are no icons in my app drawer for any of these apps.
What am I doing wrong, and will ALL of these apk installs produce an app icon in my app drawer?
