Noob question about Gmaps - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989

Hi guys,
I just got around to flashing ROMs, radios and kernels. I'm just wondering if it's normal to lose your google maps after you flash a new rom?
I'm on TDJ's jb rom and flashed the latest gapps. And even on play store I can't find the link for google maps there.
Is there something i missed?

Pretty sure you have to download the app again... Google maps you can't find in the play store? Maybe Android back, back it up and reinstall it that way?

It should be on the play store. If not I think you can get it by going to the Google site and go to more (something like that)

Play store

I accidentally uninstalled play store and when I downloaded apk and opened it up it force closed. Can't get to open up. Can somebody help me with this problem. I was messing with it because I couldn't update apps. It would say waiting for network and didn't do anything. I had 4g signal very good and strong.

wait so do you still have the play store app? if so just in app management delete the cache and reset the app.
you need to elaborate a bit more on that post as in i'm not really following everything your saying.
if you are not on a stock rom, i.e. using an AOSP AOKP or CM rom, then just flash the gapps file again. I'd post a link but since I don't know which rom you're on I am not sure which one you need. There is a separate one for GB or ICS.... if you are on a stock rooted rom then just open the zip file for the rom you downloaded and copy the .apk from it to your rom. should be located in the folder /system/app/.
Hope that helps, good luck.
Not on any rom just plain stock. And I don't have play store app period on my phone except for when I googled an apk to download. It doesn't give me an option to clear cache. Just uninstall and force close.

You don't have anything like this under app managements
Sent from my SPH-D700 using xda premium
that is rather strange. I'd almost recommend uninstalling. where did you get the apk from?
No I do not have that under app management.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using xda app-developers app
I got the apk from a website I can't recall and it was from media share.

so clear this for me, you DON'T have google play store at all in app management? or if you do and just cant do anything with it at all.
If you DON'T have the Google Play Store here you go
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=28367656&postcount=12
install that.
I downloaded the apk from link you gave me and I opened it and it let me in but when I went to update one of my apps it stopped working unexpectedly force close. Same thing its been doing since I first installed the play store.

don't just try to install the apk, but make sure you copy it to the system/ apps folder. After that you should probably also reboot to recovery and wipe cache and the dalvik cache , then google play will be hopefully working when you reboot.
Because you don't have the play store , you can dance install the amazon app store from the amazon web page on your phone to work around getting a file manager.
Try using a free app like es file explorer.

an important question, is your phone rooted? If not go to you wherever you said you were able to get to uninstall the place store before. Uninstall it cross your fingers, and reboot.

Yes the answer is to use 3g or wifi.. sprint is having trouble connecting to google play maket over wimax... there is actually a statement from sprint in a thread somewhere where they explain it... can't remember where it was or id link it... just use 3g or wifi for now....
Lol, I tried that.

Play Store

Is anyone having trouble with Play Store? Mine is disappearing. The only way that I can install it back on is to re flash my rom. This is weird and I dont know why it is happening.

Play store keeps crashing...

For some reason my play store keeps crashing, I've tried rebooting my phone, even clearing the data and ram from the play store... I don't get it..
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app
Rooted? Rom? Kernel? Mods?
Have you cleared data and uninstalled updates? Then reboot and give it time to reupdate?
Try to Remove google account and re-enter info.
If no go then Reflash your rom
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda premium
Completely stock, nothing custom. I've tried clearing it from the apps. I'll try to uninstall updates.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app
Tried deleting the play updates, still same issue.. this is so frustrating.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app
You may need to do the same on some other Google apps such as Google services framework and maybe a couple others that work along side the play store app. Can't remember them all right off hand.
When you say you're completely stock does this also mean you are not rooted? If you are rooted you can use titanium backup to backup all Google apps and data. Then clear data one by one till you find the culprit and then restore data for everything else.
Did you try deleting your account?
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda premium
Completely stock, as I'm not rooted or anything. I tried everything, then I factory reset and its fixed.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app
Glad you got it fixed. I figured a factory reset would do it but was trying to help avoid it. But sometimes it's the only way....
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda premium
Yeah I was going to avoid it. It was about time for a fresh start anyways.
