Gmail.apk

Hello pplz. I installed CM 7 mod over the weekend. All went well except for the gapps. I downloaded the gapps from the provided link and flashed it using recovery. But gmail, market and goggle maps failed to install. And they were also not be shown in the market. I searched the net and found the apks of all. Market and maps were installed successfully and gmail gives the error of application not installed.
Then using root explorer I copy the gmail.apk to the system folder n still smell problem.
Please tell me a way to install Gmail
Apk.
Thanks

Were you using a different ROM before? And if so did you wipe before installing CM7?

yes did both the things

Check the permissions and you need to be s-off if using root explorer.

That is strange then. Personally, I successfully installed CM7 and then (during the same session within recovery) Google apps and had no problems whatsoever.
What kind of error message did you receive when flashing Google apps in recovery? Did you confirm that checksum of the Google appps file was correct?
And are you sure you downloaded this file:

And no some other by a mistake?

Google Play Store Force Closes

Hello everyone, i hope this is the right place to post this.
Here is my issue, its prob easily fixed but im just unsure of how to do it. I was messing around with some inverted apps. Google Play Store was one of them. It wouldnt work, and the store kept force closing.
If i reinstall the vending.apk file, it installs over what i have and works fine...untill i restart my phone. After restarting, first thing i get " Unfortunately, Google Play Store has stopped"
Can anyone shed some light on how i could fix this? It works perfectly fine until i restart my device.

Try clearing data and fixing permission

I just cleared data settings. Fixing permissions in CWM right now.
Will update when finished.
EDIT : Nothings different. First thing that happens after reboot is the force close error.

Bump. Can anyone help?

google store force close
I had the same problem! Are you doing the copy/paste method? Then I kept trying different things, then I figured out you can use file manager program to install it, and it seems to work fine. Try that maybe

I just reinstalled the apk and was all good

or- maybe not- just force closed on me again!

same thing happens to me, on JW4 and as soon as I download an app, force close. Tried everything, older versions, modified versions, clear cache, fix permissions. I can download install from other markets no problem. Everything else works .. I'd hate to do a factory reset. Ideas??
FIX! You must be rooted. Uninstall play store, then using a root explorer paste vending.apk in system/app, then reboot. You can also use the mod vending.apk, it'll work. I had moved apk using titanium backup into my system rom, then when I did the most recent update it all went to hell, force close every time I tried to download an app. By doing the above it installs it outside of the rom and it worked. Hope it helps!!!

You don't have to install another Rom. 1st to a search for a mod playstore multidpi .. manage apps and clear data on playstore .. then with root explorer go to system/app check name .. vending or phonesky .. rename your mod playstore to same paste in system and set permissions to rw-r--r-- .. move paste overwrite into system/app reboot

Well I finally fixed it…. “Google Play has stopped working …” error in my S3
Previously when I rooted my S3 and installed Titanium Backup, I had changed Google Play from a System app to a User app… fail. Nooo it don’t like it. Tried alot of stuff to get it back working
Just undid it, changed Google Play back from User app to a System app and viola!! :laugh:

Well, it may not be the reason for issue. I also made it user app but there was no issue untill once i stopped when some app was getting downloaded.
I tried every thing like restoring from Titanium backup, cleanig cache,cleaning data for google play store and google play services but no luck. Finally it got resolved when i flashed gapps after deleting google account. Then after flashing gapps when i created new acount a d then install apk it worked.
Hope this will help.

CyanogenMod 7.2.0 / GAPPS

Hi,
I recently rooted my girlfriends Wildfire and missed the Google Apps.
So I wanted to download the latest apps and now whats about the Google Playstore?
I opened the zip file and couldn't find it.
(Here under Google Apps addon)
Is there a package where the latest Google Apps are integrated?
Or will they be updated through Playstore itself?

Don't worry just flash the zip, setup google account, open "android market" wait for some time and it will update itself to the playstore.
If it doesn't update then wait for a day or so, sometimes it updates without you knowing (like a ninja )

Okay,
I will install today and will reply if I have any issues.
Thanks for your help.:good:
EDIT:
Okay it was immediately changed to the new market.

Hi So I just flashed CM 7.2.0 and after tried to flash GApps 20120429 which as far as I can tell is the most recent one. I get to the part where I enter my google info and did all that the play store opened but now I am getting Play Store Force closures and I cannot get into the App store at all. I tried flashing again and it is still happening. Any advice on what to try next? Thanks!

You flashed ics gapps on gingerbread!
Latest gb gapps should be named gapps-gb-20110828-signed.zip.

yup that was it

Hahah well that's embarrassing... I thought I saw somewhere it was ICS. Thank you so much.

[Q] CM10 - are gapps mandatory?

Hello!
Might sound like a stupid question :silly: but:
- is it necessary to install gapps? Or, if you just don't need/want them, don't install them and phone will work like a charm?
Asking because it says (quote):
install kernel
full wipe
flash rom
reboot into rom
reboot back into recovery
flash gapps
Just curious, as gapps install a LOT of things... Someone might need just play store, or just search, or just chrome, or... you know what I mean... :fingers-crossed:
Thanks in advance...

Gapps basically contain all the preloaded apps by Google (Google Maps, News and Weather, etc). Your phone will still work without flashing Gapps, but you'll be missing out on Google services, especially Google Now. So, it is better to flash the Gapps
Based on personal experience

Yes, you're right about what's in gapps.
But, let's say, for me, I don't need Google Maps, as I have iGO. I also have another weather app, I don't need Google Now, and so on...
With gapps installed, it's a bit hard to tell which one of gapps you can freeze or uninstall, because they seem cross-connected...
Not to mention that it's no use to have some app on the phone that you don't use or need and it's just taking some memory...
So, basically, like you said, no need to install gapps and if I want just one app from Google, I install it. And the phone will work. Good, thank you!

You can install gapps and then use a root explorer to go into /system/app and delete the apps you don't need.

Idk if this applies to the One V, but NOT flashing GAPPS could result in some functions not working like Lockscreen, Home button, and other elements.

I can copy apk files that I need from PC to my SD card and install applications that I need/want. So, for me, play store is not necessary...

please help me with this. don't avoid my message by its length.

I patched my android phone which is note 2 gt-n7100 with lucky patcher. The patch I did was signature verification status always true. And it was successful. After that, when I was download the modded version from lucky patcher I was taking a lot if time as my network is slow. And after some time I saw a tutorial and I was doing it. In that tutorial he downloaded that Google play store modded version. But it didn't support my device. So I installed amother app called Google play store installer. But and will installing play store it restarted my device by saying that there was no space in the system Rom. I thought I didn't install. After the reboot was finished my play store was deleted. I had a backup of my play store. And I installed it and tried to install something from it. It sometimes force close,sometime it says error in download, and some times it says authentication required. Signo in to your Google account. Please help me...... :crying:

Flash your ROM again stock or custom ROM.
Sent from my GT-N7100 using Tapatalk

please help me with this. don't ignore it with its difficulty.
How to do that. I dont have a computer with me. I have rooted it with king root. I don't even have a custom ROM. So please help me.

Downloads:
download Odin 3.07 from here: https://www.google.ca/url?sa=t&rct=j...34052249,d.amc
download the latest stock ROM from here and unzip it only once to yield a tar.md5 file:
http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/database/GT-N7100/
For flashing, boot into download mode and and use Odin to flash the stock ROM in the PDA slot.
If the phone gets stuck when booting, power off, go into recovery, perform a factory wipe, and reboot.
WARNING: There is always a risk that something will go wrong during any flashing process. Proceed at your own risk.

I don't have a computer with me. So what should I do. Is there any way to do it

Have you tried a factory reset? Resetting will wipe all data, music, contacts from the phone.

Yes I have tried that too. But I lost all data but didn't get the play store back. I tried to install the play store by removing the patch It didn't in the play store. But It didn't work. What to do.
I tried a lot of ways to install it.

I think the easiest way would be to use Odin to flash a stock ROM.

There is no other way to do this. Are you sure.

If there is another solution, I don't know what it would be.

OK so will I get play store if I do this.
And I need a cwm recovery file which supports my file. Any version will go. But it should work.
Thanks for all the information you gave me through.

There are ways if you are rooted. Try to install TWRP somehow. Then everything will be easy.

You could try mobileOdin app. Never used it, but it might work for your situation.

Flashing the stock firmware from Sammobile.com will put the phone back to the way it would be when it came from the factory.

Use TWRP Manager to flash TWRP, from there you can flash either a stock rooted ROM or custom ROM from your device thread.

My network was slow and I didn't download it. I downloaded from other website and tried to install. It says application not installed. In the same website,there was another app called Google play installer. I downloaded that and tried to install it. And before ithe reboots it says application didn't install as I didn't have space in my system Rom. And my play store got deleted.

Go into to app manager and clear data and fours close then play store. ...then open it up and see if that helps.....also you can install the play store app as a user app the use another app to install in system....lucky patcher will do it but we don't want you to re-live that nightmare

I did that too. I cleared the data and used. The same thing happened again. No change happened thereafter. So I think it is the only wayou to it. Can any one of the senior member sent the cwm custom recovery file and the steps to do it.
