Probably you can't find it because its not available in you'r region. I also can't. There are 2 solutions:
1) This is the easy way: download apk from the web (search in google "google maps apk 5.3.1" or try this http://software2tech.com/tag/google-maps-5-3-1-apk-download/) then install the apk on the phone (you should enable Settings->Aplications->Unknown sources).
2) You neet rooted device. Install MarketAccess and fake your provider to T-Mobile US. Now you will be able to download it from Android Market.

try to deinstall your old Maps-installation first.

Or use Applanet !

You can try also moded application there's brut modon forum

[Q] Google Maps no longer downloadable through Market

Hello everyone! New member here.
Just installed Virtuous 2.0 on my DZ 2.3.3 (downgraded, rooted and upgraded) and I realize that I now do not have access to Google Maps. I've tried Market Enabler, and none of the settings allow me to download Google Maps again. From the PC, it says it's not compatible for my device, and from my phone Maps isn't even available through search.
Could anyone help me?

I'd try looking around for a flashable gapps file somewhere that will work with your rom. Also - unless you've been attacked there before, i'd recommend asking this same question in the thread for the rom you are using! Others (who don't look in this forum) may know exactly what is wrong.

I resorted to downloading the .APK from some shady site. I have not reached 10 posts yet and thus cannot post in the Development forums ): Thanks anyway! Thought Maps should have been available for any device on any ROM ):

It is if you just flash the appropriate GAPPS package.

Found it on market.android.com
I found google maps on market.android.com.
here is the link: https://market.android.com/details?id=com.google.android.apps.maps&feature=search_result

[Q] rom PACMAN v14.1

plz help em install google play new version for rom Pacman v14.1
I tried but failed

How did you tried to install Google Play? Did you flash gapps package from the op of the PACman thread?
Or if you already have it then just uninstall your current version of Google Play with any root un installer, and install the new version.
EDIT: aren't Google Play Store supposed to auto update itself?

If it makes problems, just deinstall it with Titanium Backup Pro, restart phone, install an new apk from the internet and set it to a system app with titanium.

Hello everyone!
Most of you are flashaholics and you always want to try something new.
But it is always a pain in the ass when you have no internet connection or just want to install one app.
That's why i took some apps who almost everyone uses daily to create an aroma installer(around 80mb)
Btw these apps are all free so no donated versions.​
The Following apps are included:
Android Terminal Emulator
Chrome
Es File Explorer
Facebook
Firefox
RomManager
Twitter
Whatsapp
Xda-Developers app to download new roms, and
Z-Archiver
Some of these apps are maybe a bit old and some are latest version.

good idea buddy , this is an useful AROMA zip with all required apps when you had flashed a clean new ROM .
i'll thank you for the idea and the action you took for it

Thankyou christian for your response.
If I have time tomorrow then I will make tomorrow a gapps aroma flasher with gapps from 4.1.2-4.4 and with the option to wipe wrong installed gapps.
Then like the gapps core basic files
I will add later titanium backup to the package if anyone has suggestions just say it

Google play services apk

Hi,
after I was looking for answer to this thread, I have decided to uninstall Google Play Services.
Now, I want to reinstall it, where can I find a Google's official apk?
Thanks

I use Cyanogen mod and installed it via opengapps by the clockwork recovery. In other words, depending on what you got you might need other stuff than just the apk. Google Google play apk and you should find a xda thread about it. Or even search via the forum.

Thanks for the response.
I use Revolution HD 31.0 Rom.
I have a twrp backup of my original TW, can I extract google play servicea from there?

Maybe something of this works for you www.android.gs/download-install-and-flash-google-apps-for-android/

Thanks.
But I am waiting for a new release of Google Play Services, hoping it will solve my problems...
Edit:
Google have updated Google play services to v 8.3.01 but it haven't solved the problems.
I am switching to Ivan's ROM
