well tried both, nothing worked...any other alternative..reverted to Orange GB..if any alternative is there then pls let me know will try again tomorrow.

I don't know if it will be any help but I had the same issue when I was using fixed SBFs and a nandroid. It seems to have rectified itself since I flashed the full Nordic Froyo. It may or may not have been coincidental though.

[Q]CM7 RC1 V2-Not able to download anything from market
After updating from RC0 to RC1 v2, I am not able to download anything from market. I am able to browse all the applications in Market. When i click to to install, it starts and disappears.
I tried wiping data/catch and re-isntalling Rc2 v2 but not help.
Does anyone one have any suggestion ?

did u solve the problem?

go to settings > application > all > market and tap on uninstall updates.
You will get the old i.e the factory version of the market. However, it can download stuff
and I no longer get the "connection time out" error. yay

Manage Applications> "Market" and “Google Services Framework” , clear cache and data, reboot.

[Q] Kindle FIre and Google Play Store

When Amazon updated to 6.3 my Kindle Fire had to be rooted again. This time, although I have the Google Play Store app, when I launch it, the following message appears: "You must add an account to the device to continue. Do you want to add one now?" When either Yes or No is selected, the app force closes.
Tried unrooting and re-rooting, rebooting, but nothing works.
Hope someone out there can help, please.

Install GoogleServicesFramework.apk and this should stop happening. You can extract it from the GB (GingerBread) GoogleApps zip file. I always put that .apk into /system/app, but that may not be necessary (not sure on that). Just try installing the gsf apk and see if it works -- I personally would also reinstall the market at this point (Vending.apk). If this doesn't work, you will probably have to get into adb and push the .apks to /system/app while in recovery. Then, you can work your way to them with a file explorer that can get into root (ES File Explorer works) and install both .apks by simply tapping them.

Kindle Fire and Google Play Store
Thank you very much for your response. Will try and let you know if I was successful.

This worked!! I have a different problem now where my Kindle cannot connect to the Tootle server.
The error response is that my phone is not provisioned for data services.
Any suggestions?
Thanks again.

Sorry - autocorrect...should be Google server

i would recommend flashing modacos rom if you want a smooth bugless stock amazon experience.. not trying to be an ad, but just saying.

It seems to have been a server problem. I was able to log in and use Google Play Store.
Many many thanks for your help, tedr108!!

UPDATE - After I tried to download an app, I received the following message: "The application Google Play Store (process com.android.vending) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again." and force closes.
I tried rebooting as well as uninstalling/reinstalling the Play Store, but no change.
Thanks in advance for your help.

Same error here... what am I doing wrong?

Me too! I thinks it's a GoogleServicesFramework.apk version issue.
Can anyone advise what gapps version to use?

Google Play force closes, Google Framework won't install
I've rooted my Kindle Fire running version 6.3. It's running the stock OS. I used the Kindle Fire Utility version 0.9.5. It rooted and loaded TWRP but was unable to push the google apps (extras) as 'permission denied'. So I installed rootbrowser.apk. It works with superuser privileges. I downloaded GoogleServicesFramework.apk and Vending 3.5.16.apk and then with Windows Explorer I dragged them into the /sdcard/Download directory. With rootbrowser I copied them over into /system/app. I tried to install the google apps. Google Play installs but crashes. GoogleServicesFramework.apk will not install. Using Rootbrowser, I was not able to delete the GoogleServicesFramework.apk. I booted the Kindle Fire into recovery mode, mounted /system, then used ADB to push the GoogleServicesFramework.apk and the Vending 3.5.16.apk into /system/app. The files were successfully copied into /system/app. I rebooted the Kindle, using rootbrowser I installed Google Play (Vending 3.5.16.apk) but GoogleServicesFramework just shows "Application Not Installed". When I launch Google Play I'm prompted to add my account info on the device to continue. When i select "Yes", it closes and I'm unable to get past this point. I have the "Go Launcher EX" installed. I also went into recovery with TWRP and fixed permissions. Still nothing worked.
I've watched the NOOB video, and read Kindle Fire For Beginners and a whole bunch of other stuff. I've scoured the posts but though i've tried everything that everyone else has done in order to get Framework installed and Google Play to work, I cannot get passed this point. I'm now 4 days into the process of 'rooting' this device. Like I said, it's rooted, but not completely functional with the desired apps.
Does someone have anymore ideas on how to get GoogleServicesFramework.apk to install and Vending 3.5.16.apk to work after it's installed?
Thanks!!!

What are your "GoogleServicesFramework.apk" permissions set to?

The GoogleServicesFramework.apk installed in /syste/app/ is 777 (for owner, group and others), i.e., rwx for all three users.
---------- Post added at 06:41 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:09 PM ----------
Well, 4 days and running into roadblocks. I was probably chasing my tail. However, when the nice guy that posted a reply asked "what were the permissions of googleservicesframework, and I checked that they were 777, I decided that maybe..., just maybe, I had a bad .apk. All of the .apks that were in the folder were 644. So I downloaded a new version of googleservicesframework.apk from media source fire (the one that I had was from a link posted previously.) I noticed that most of the .apk files were around 600 kb. The one that I had downloaded previously was about 2mb.
After copying over the small .apk into /system/app, my google play started working perfectly! I'm VERY sorry for being a NOOB! However, thank you all at xda for being here for all of us! Keep up the good work!!

montoyat, please share the link with us for the GoogleServicesFramework version that's working for you. I'm having issues too, and have been through over 10 gapps and different apk files. going nuts here!
thanks

That would be awesome. Thanks!

Since it was Android, it should works. Ok, my device isn't the same, but problem is. I only follow the instructions from this post & it worked. :laugh:
Update all my apps endlessly is a blissful day afterward. :3

Is your permission set the same like the above post ?

[Q] GAPPs are working but I cannot login to YouTube or Voice

I'm on Hashcodes CM9 rom and I installed GAPPs from KFU. All the applications work with the exception that I cannot login in to YouTube or Google Voice. Gmail login works just fine, as does Google Play.
When I try to login to YouTube, I get the error message: "Unfortunately, Android System has stopped." And the application exits. I've found nothing in either the gapps thread, kfu thread, or Hashcodes thread about this issue.
Can anyone help?

When you select the account to login to it will ask for permission to access your YouTube account click allow then it will ask for permission to access your +1`s click allow if this prompt doesn't come up anymore uninstall YouTube and reinstall about voice dunno other kindle doesn't have voice capabilities also the login is with email and not user name anymore so try email and password if it doesn't work changes will need to be made from your computer not your kindle to your account and Google+

Nope that didn't work. I didn't receive any additional prompts about adding permissions after sign in attempt. Maybe that's because I don't have 2 step verification enabled.
-Uninstalled
-Resynced
-Re-installed
I should have known it wouldn't work because youtube works just fine on my phone, and I tried logging in on the Fire with the same email to no avail.

re-installed G-apps
I don't know specifically what the problem was but this is what I did to get it working in case someone happens to have a similar problem:
-Wiped (aka formatted) SDCARD (I did not do this previously)
-Copied ROM & Gapps zip file to SDCARD
-Booted into TWRP and did a factory reset then re-installed the ROM.
-Rebooted into ICS to make sure no problems.
-Booted into TWRP again did cleaned out the cache and installed gapps zip file.
-Rebooted into ICS, went into the settings menu and added my google account and it's synced.
-Downloaded YouTube from Market and gave permissions to access my google account and access +1s (i dont know if this is what made the difference but it works and I wouldn't have added +1s had the ThePooch not mentioned it)

every time I deny it plus 1's it wont login into my account so thats why I recommended that

I'm having this same issue! I'm running the July 6 nightly build. I just flashed it today. Everything runs beautifully except some Google apps won't sign in. I get the "unfortunately, android system has stopped" error. Then, the app either terminates or hangs on the sign in screen.
I got my apps from KFU, but it's also happening with google reader, which I got from the market. The apps I'm having trouble with are: Reader, Youtube, and Voice.
I tried clearing the cache and davlik cache. Didn't seem to help. Any ideas anyone has are appreciated!
Edit: Google apps that appear to work fine: maps, drive, chrome, gmail, browser, music, and google+.

Just tried it, no luck.

Try a different flavor and when you try to login is it asking for any access rights?

Also what wipes are you performing?
---------- Post added at 09:56 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:52 PM ----------
Make sure your flashing the latest gapps http://wiki.rootzwiki.com/Gapps#Ice_Cream_Sandwich_.28Android_4.0.x.29
The gapp package that comes with kfu is intended for gingerbread

I did a factory reset, system wipe, cache, and dalvik cache.
I hadn't realized that the KFU gapps were intended for gingerbread! I'll grab the ones from the link you posted tomorrow. It's rather late now!

Aha! It works! Thank you so much Pooch. I definately think it was trying to run the KFU apps. Before it never even asked me if I wanted to allow for the +1s. This is so great; now I feel like I have a real tablet for the first time since getting the fire. :laugh:

very good glad it was a simple fix

[Q] ADB & Rooting to load clockwork mod

Hi,
I'm following the tutorial here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1739426
I am on the 3rd option and am trying to load the latest clockworkmod on my GS3, I have it downloaded, but it is an .img file.
The tutorial says:
if you download this recovery you will need to extract this file (if you have issues extracting try removing the .md5 extension first) to get a recovery.img file and copy to your phone's internal /sdcard
connect your phone to computer and use adb
type adb shell
once in the shell run su
then
dd if=/sdcard/recovery.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p18
Can someone please explain this in more detail? I am looking for links to the ADB program I need as-well as how to use it to apply those commands.
Also I am having a hit-or-miss issues with Windows reading my phone as an external device, the phone reads as an established MTP connection but Windows sometimes reads it, or does not. What am I doing wrong here?
Thank you.
Info:
Phone: Samsung-SGH-I747
Carrier: AT&T
Andriod Version: 4.1.1
OS: Windows 8 64Bit
Samsung Software: Kies 2.5.0.12114_1

Here is how I done it. It's in a zip file if you already have the non-touch version installed. All you need to do with this is install from SD from CWM recovery. None of the adb stuff has to be messed with. 7th post.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1877761
Edit: This was on down in the post you quoted. If you don't have any CWM recovery installed, then do the below, then install the above touch version zip from sd in CWM recovery.
Third, alternate #3 if unfamiliar with adb commands and uncomfortable using any command line
Decide if you want to use TWRP or CWM.
If you would like to install ClockworkMod recovery then grab Rom Manager from the Play store and in the menu select to install ClockworkMod Recovery.

I am no expert by any means but you have to run those commands in the command prompt (DOS) system. Hit the start menu and find the run and type in cmd and that will open up command line or it should be in the Accessories folder as well.
If Windows sometimes doesn't recognize your phone I would uninstall and re install the drivers to see if that helps.
I have a heck of a time to get ADB and everything working when I first started so I know how you feel. Just keep reading the forums and everything and you will get it to work.

Currently my phone has NO clockwork Mod installed, I am wanting to install the latest version ( recovery-clockwork-6.0.1.2-d2att ) I have this file in .img format, I am trying to figure out how to install it on my phone -- the tutorial says add it to your sdcard, I have done that, then it says connect to your phone and use ADB commands, that is the part where I need more information, also do I wipe cache/reset settings/dalvick cache during any of this process? Should my phone be in download mode when doing ADB commands or what specifically is where I do not understand.
I would like to understand the process more in-depth and ADB as well - opposed to going the RomManager route, from my research it seems that updates/versions are available first with that method.
Thanks

He gave you the link to the play store app in the post. It's android terminal emulator..type terminal emulator in play store its the top app.
I just merely gave you a second option which I did and functioned flawlessly. Grab Rom Manager from the play store and select the top option to flash CWM Recovery. It will ask you your phone type and carrier and then will give you the option to install it. Easier than the whole adb thing.

Ok that route did work, thanks.
Now I installed the latest CM10 Nightly - cm-10-20121206-NIGHTLY-d2att
And then rebooted and installed the latest Gapps - gapps-jb-20121011-signed
It does not seem that any of the google apps are in my apps
Also the Play Store no longer works....just "Connection Timed Out"
Specifically I am looking to use Google Now/G-Mail/Drive/Voice/etc...
Did I do something wrong? CWM said the Gapps installed successfully. Was I supposed to wipe cache somewhere?
Thanks for the help.

I have not noticed that. I used the same Gapps file to do mine and everything worked fine on I believe the 11-30 NIGHTLY, no wiping that I remember. Now this was before I got on Official JB, was still back on stock ICS. Haven't flashed CM since upgrading. I will after today as battery life sucks on the Official, if it does the same to me I will let you know.
Touch version of CWM is pretty sweet, no accidental clicks too far with the volume keys, works right from your screen. That was the link in the first post I gave you. Download it to your SD, go into recovery and install it from SD.

Looks like mine had no problems with the gapps 11-30 nightly coming from LK3. Haven't got around to downloading the latest nightly yet. Will do today. Let me know if you got it resolved.

Downloadling applications with custom Rom

So I am pretty new to this, but here goes....
About a month ago I got some help from a friend and downloaded lineage OS 15.1 to my Lenovo p2a42 device. Very happy with everything, until yesterday when the phone began to vibrate and then proceed to shut down with a blue indicator light showing. After some fiddling and attempts to get the latest update of lineage, I got stuck in my first boot loop. After all my various attempts to solve the problem, I decided to do a clean wipe and reinstall lineage. Which I've done successfully I believe, no crashes yet. What I am having trouble with now is remembering how to download the first applications since I don't have the Gsuite or Gapps downloaded. I remember my friend mentioning a problem with the stock file manager for lineage and I believe that is one of the first applications we downloaded along with the apk pure app store.
If anyone can help this newbie figure out how to download the apk mirror to my device without an appstore, I would appreciate it.
>maybe the answer is to download to my laptop first and then use adb to flash it to my device?
Thanks for the help!!

If you want to have Google apps on your phone, search for Open GApps and download for ARM64 devices (nano package is recommended). Then flash it alongside LOS in TWRP. You will have Google Play Store installed.
But, if you only want APKPure store then you must download the APK from their website (either via computer then move it to your phone, or by using default LOS browser). Navigate to your downloaded APK using file manager and open it, you will have a prompt to install it or not. That's pretty much it though.

I downloaded apk pure directly on my mobile from the website (not interested in GApps). It opens in the LOS default file manager and there are basically no options to run it. I think this is because the root may be disabled, my boot loader is unlocked, but it says adb only in my developer options settings. I am new to using adb to flash an apk. I was able to flash lineage, but not sure how to install the apk. For instance, should my phone be on when I enter command install xxx.apk or should it be in recovery mode or boot mode? I tried once already and the apk install failed, not sure what I am doing wrong here. Thanks for the response above.
