For those on lollipop starting with Play Services 8.1 google has introduces a new numbering theme. To find out which one you need to download read this that was posted on apkmirror.com
Notes / What's New
This is the first time we saw a build ending with -2XX.
It seems that -4XX is now for Marshmallow+, and -2XX is for Lollipop+. I.e., if you're on Lollipop, and you had -438 before, now you'll need -238, etc.
*WARNING*: We've seen reports of constant crashes with these. Proceed at your own risk.
If you want to try it you can go to apkmirror and download it and install it. it should still be on the front page, if not go here and scroll down to find your version https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google-inc/google-play-services/ . It seems to work for me but I don't know if it will work for everybody
For those that don't know how to see which version of play services you have: To figure out the right version of Google Play services for your Android device, go to Settings -> Apps -> Google Play services, and look at the last 3 numbers in the parentheses
Hopefully this will help those who update Google Play Services manually.
I hate when they do this.. Time to download a newer gapps zip. Lol
Is there any working method to keep certain version of Google Play Store and prevent it from auto updating itself in CM12.1 (Android 5.1)?
I've read a tutorial on XDA (LINK) about creating specific folders but my GPS is still updating itself to 6.2.10.A-all version.
In this version I have error code 963 while updating my applications.
In "factory version" of Google Play Store (5.0.36) I don't have this problem, and applications updates correctly (so, now I have to remove GPS update and restore to factory version, update my apps - I have to do these steps every time I want to update my apps because GPS is auto updating itself to the newest version after launching it)
unistal the current google play store and install play store apk version you wish to work with it
thats it

It will auto update itself to the newest version, so I'm looking for a way to block autoupdate of Google Play Store itself
oki so go on settings==>app==>playstore==>unistall update,i think this will work for u
I have an MXQPRO was working fine util recently, When I try to open the play store I get this error message: "This version of the app isn't compatible with your device. To fix this problem, go to settings and uninstall updates for the Google play Store app." . The device is running Android 5.1.1. the option to uninstall the update is not available in the Apps Settings. I did a complete reset of the device and I am able to use the play store right after but after closing the play store the next time I will get the message (since the play Store will have had time to update it self.) Th version after the update of play store is 7.5.08.M.xhdpi ... I have tried downgrading the play store to another version via an apk file ... but it fails. I also have tried stopping the upgrade by following the instructions of adding a folder : "com.android.vending-1.apk" to /data/app ... but this did not work the update occurred anyway.... any idea on how I can gain access again to play store ? Thank You

Hello. I will begin with my root problem: I need to install newer (than stock 5.0.2) android on LG v490.
I installed the LineageOS (android 7.1.2), rooting with KingRoot -> using Flashify to boot into TWRP -> installed LineageOS.
During that whole process I was unable to boot to see bootloader (it was just normally booting) using adb. Now it also looks impossible.
Now I would like to install Google Play Store: downlaoded the package and the instructions says (because it's not just .apk file) to isntall this using TWRP. I cannot boot to TWRP. Last time (with stock ROM) i booted into TWRP using Flashify, but Flashify requires root from me. I am using Kingo Root, KingoRoot (and something else) both for Android and PC and every time it shows me "fail" or "Unable to root".
What can I do now in order to install Google Store?

In order to install Google Play Store phone's Android must NOT got rooted.
You install it manually.
How-to:
Download from APKMIRROR these 4 APKs matching your phone's Android version:
Google Account Manager APK
Google Services Framework APK
Google Play Services APK
Google Play Store APK
Install the downloaded APKs in exact this order
Google Account Manager APK → Google Services Framework APK → Google Play Services APK → Google Play Store APK
to get the Google Play Store working correctly.
Finally re-boot
Thank you! Let's see, but...
How can I know which version of Google Play Services is proper for my android version? This is the only APK that has different numbering than android.
@edit
Ok, I downlaoded the latest version of Google Play Services for android 6.0+. After installation in given order constantly I get error that Google Services Framework stopped working. Wrong version or what?

Read here.
Buttons for clearing data and cache for Google Play Services are unavailable :/ Tried to just force stop Google Play Services and proceed with the others (as says in the link provided) but after reboot and running store I am still getting this error. No help in comments in provided article.
Anyone knows which version of "Google Play Services" (and then Google Play Store) should I choose for Lineage OS 7.1.2? I Suppose Play services keeps stopping because of wrong version.

You mix up Google Play Services and Google Services Framework: these are 2 different things!
Google Services Framework is used to update Google apps and apps from Google Play Store. This component provides core functionality like authentication to your Google services, synchronized contacts, access to all the latest user privacy settings, and higher quality, lower-powered location based services.
The required version of Google Services Framework depends on phone's model and Android version.

How do you say I'm mixing these thing? According to few posts above:

1. Acc manager: I found version 7.1.2
2. Services Framework: found version 7.1.2
3. Play Services: Numeration is different than android version! (eg. 20.26.14)
4. Play Store: Numeration is different than android version! (different numbers than above)
How should I determine which version of Services and Store I need to install?
@Morales1235
You still don't get it. :crying:
That was your post

Hence the Google Services Framework ( GSF ) you installed is not compatible!
FYI: The Google Play Services ( GMS) contains the individual Google services and runs as a background service in the Android OS.
BTW: I no longer participate this thread. Have a nice day.
Hi all,
I'm not able to update the google play store/services to the latest version. When I click the update button, it says the play store is up to date but I know there's a new version online. I'm on May 24th update while there's a new version released today. Although I'm not keen on updating this app, my banking apps won't open unless I have the latest play store...How do I get the play store to update? I tried to sideload it but get a message saying that the app conflicts with another package! Please help.
