[Q] Download Unsuccessful

All my old market apps download just fine, but when I purchase new apps I cannot download them. With any new app purchased I get Download Unsuccessful error. I have tryed clearing market data/cache, wiping all data and caches, I have even tried factory resets with no success. Don't know what to do at this point. I am running DC 3.5 with netarchy-toastmod 4.13.

I've had this too without any quick permanent solution. What has seemed to help me was reflashing the gapps. This probably will not completely fix it, but has definitely helped a bit.

Thanks for the suggestion, I downloaded the Google Apps for HDPI devices for CyanogenMod 6 at http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?title=Latest_Version#Google_Apps
Unfortunately it didn't work. I thought for sure this would be the key. O well at least now I have the new version of G-mail.

Have you tried using a different ROM and using Titanium backup to restore the apps on your favored ROM?

I don't know if this will help you, but sometimes when I try to update an app it will download but won't install. I just go to the sd card with ES File Explorer under /download and the apk is there. Sometimes just clicking on the apk will install it. If not, I just delete the apk and redownload the update.
IDK if installing new apps saves a temp apk to this same folder, but you could look there to see if you have a bunch of apk's that failed.

That is a good idea. I will have to try that when it occurs with my phone. Better than nothing.

I have tried different ROM's with no luck. Also they are not even begining the download otherwise I would find the .apk and install it that way.

[Q] Market missing!?

Hey everyone,
When i turned my phone on today, i noticed that the Android Market is completely removed from my phone!
I have tried installing it again using a .apk and also tried installing it using a .zip and flashing it via recovery, but they both have not worked...
any idea on how i could get this back?

Rather than use an apk you've put on your SD card card yourself, use a file explorer to go to system\app and run vending.apk from there.
This worked for me when the market was missing after flashing a new rom recently.
I did get a couple of download errors when I first used the market, but after a couple of rebooted it was fine.
Posted telepathically. Oh yes.

It says "Activity not found - com.android.vending

No way!
Sorry man, I don't know what else to do.
Maybe it can be pushed or pulled or something through adb, but I don't know how to use this.
Keep asking though, someone will be able to help....

maybe this zip will flash for you...?

Maybe you need to reflash your rom...what rom u using?

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

I always do the 3 wipes just make sure you backed up everything including your efs folder, if to external sdcard take it out then flash. I usually back to pc and certain directories to external card as well.

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.

Gaaps MIUI
will this version of Gaaps work with MIUI ROM ?

Work on all CM7 androids?

AW: [TUTORIAL] Install Gaaps for Cyanogenmod7, Market and Google apps.
Some ROMs have their own recommended GApps so check first in your ROMs thread. If not, you can just browse goo.im for the latest GApps. Make sure, it's the right package for your Android version. Jb = jellybean, gb = gingerbread. For the flashing you can follow the guide above.

Thank you.
I will be an ungrateful dude if I do not thank you for this download. I was on Jelly bean on Lg P500 but had to downgrade to Gingerbread because I was not enjoying it much. But when I did, google apps was missing, and you provided a solution.
Thank youuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!
Please will you marry meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! Haha!!!:highfive:

GApps for gingerbread
Thanks alottt

I have the same problem and yes, using a file explorer there is no Play store at system/app.
Is it possible that there is no Play store or Market until I setup a google account on the device (because at the moment I'm right after factory reset, so there is nothing on the phone)?

I downloaded the proper gapps, boot into recovery, wipe cache, wipe data / factory reset, install gapps, reboot. Then now it's working. I don't know what happened previously after the first factory reset (it was from the menu, not from recovery).

:/
I've been trying that for a while now, and I still can't use Google Play Store.

Google play

I lost Google play on my one v and upon checking the system apps i no longer see the odex phonesky.odex file. Can I just download any rom and grab the odex file from that rom to make it work? what permission do i set it?
any other way to fix this?
thanks
btw can anyone upload the odex file i cant seem to find any downloadable one

Are you rooted?
What rom are you running?

Just install the apk as normal app - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1933277
restoring an odex will not help as the play store most probably updated itself to newer version when you use it.

Thanks. I was struggling with all the apk that I downloaded and wont work with the normal package installer. What I did was copy and paste using root explorer, set proper permission then integrate it to rom using titanium backup and rebooted and i worked.
