Hello, I am a long time android user who just started messing with custom roms. I have a galaxy ace and last week i switched from adrenaline rom to apocalypse rom. I am very happy. with adrenaline i kept having random reboots every few hours, and with apocalypse i haven't had a single one. and i even have more free memory for apps than before.
the only thing that i do not like is that i can't find google talk on the market. can anybody help me with this? i know that apps do not show in every phone or every rom, but i cant see a reason why an app like that wouldn't show in my ace. i had it installed both in the official rom and adrenaline. and now, with apocalypse, i have many other google apps (google+, maps, youtube, gmail, etc), and after 1 week, i haven't found a single app that i was not able to install, except gtalk.
i hope someone can help me.
btw, i would have liked to post this on the apocalypse thread, but it seems that i am too young
Google talk is not available for download in market. Use the link below and install the apk from that thread.

thanks a lot!!
But i thought that i installed gtalk from google play some time ago while using adrenaline rom. i may be wrong though.
as for the section, i thought about it. i was not sure where to post it. but since this forum says themes and apps, and my question was about a very particular app, i thought that it would fit better here. anyway, lesson learned

Well, i managed to get gtalk installed from the thread Curius7 linked. I had already installed the rest of google apps from the market, and that is what seemed strange. being able to install maps, google+, gmail, youtube, etc. perfectly, and then not finding gtalk.
which custom rom is simple...
and which is the best custom rom..?

i have tried 3 or 4, and so far the best one is Apocalypse. The battery looks great and i am not having any strange issue (like reboots, etc). the only odd thing was the lack of gtalk, which thanks to this thread i have already solved.
also, not so important, apocalypse theme is gorgeous.

The Ice cream Sandwich has a really mind blowing UI, Google tried to modify almost all system apps.
Here is some original app collections, which really works for Gingerbread & other older versions.
The Apps Collections
Android Market 3.2.0
Google Music 4.0.1
Google Maps 5.11.0
Street View 1.7.0.4
Google+ 2.0.0
Just install like a normal app. Will be updated as soon as more apps available.
If anyone has problems installing market 3.2.0, try this post. This may be helpful to you.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1297040
Note : There may be updated versions of the apps listed, but this is just a collection from Galaxy Nexus.
Any hope for the launcher? Or the browser? Or Somthing else interesting....
are those install APK, or just copy and replace over old APK ?
Market and Music installed ok.
Not having any luck with Maps and Street View. Do they even have any significant changes?
Maps is not 5.10.2
It's the ownhere/Brut.all 5.10.1 mod of the maps...

Thx. But the market not works on HTC Wildfire S.
Start the install and then:
"application not installed"
What is the problem ? :|
(This works only whit root -ed phones? )
Thanks you very much !
But I have the same prob than zoltank but for Music, Market et Google+ =/
It's not the first time i install the three but here, everytime "app not installed" and my phone is rooted so it's not that =/
Any ideas ?
try uninstalling the old apps before installing the new ones
Too bad no =(
Uninstall the Market, i came back on the 1st version on the Nexus but it's the same, now the update roll on and i'm again with 3.1.5.
No prob, that will coming in time =)
Thank you !
i was able to install everything except Market 3.2
i uninstalled the old one and wiped cache, kelvin, etc...
any ideas?
solved
rebooted the phone
then i was able to install
now that it's installed, i get Force Close every time i try to install something from market
going back to 3.1.5
Hi, if you are having trouble installing the market try this. Its what I did to get it working on my o2x
You will need root explorer

Market doesn't work on Galaxy S Plus
Thanks for these
Market works perfectly on rooted Flyer. The tiles fill out the screen nicer than 3.1.5. No force close issues. On edit: it drops an error when trying to get a non-free app....
G+ breaks the People (htccontacts.apk) app.
Music installs, but I use the HTC one so not much testing after install.
Maps, untested.
Street view, untested.
---
On edit: Maps installs and works. Street view errors on install.
G+ app works perfectly on stock N1 on 2.3.6, no adverse side effects. Been using it since it originally leaked a couple-ish weeks ago.

Hint for at least us Moto Blur users if you install the G+ apk then your contacts will force close if you try to open up a contacts info

My guess is the ones already in the first post are the only ones that are gonna install on gingerbread. You can take all the apps from the galaxy nexus dump, put them in a folder on your sdcard, and browse to it with root explorer. you'll see the only ones that have none default icons are the ones in the first post. the ones with app icons are the only ones that actually install. all other give parsing errors since you need ICS to install them.

Hello all,
I'm hoping you can help. I flashed PA_d2att-3.60-12JUN2013-050113 and pa_gapps-full-4.2-20130719-signed today and now I'm not able to download all of my apps from the App store. I was able to get a good amount of apps, but when I tried to put on Facebook, Facebook Messenger, Instagram, Twitter, I was getting the Packet File is Invalid message.
I cleared the play store cache from within android but that didn't work. I tried rebooting into TWRP and clearing out all my cache's and that didn't work either.
I saw someone link a 'market fix' app and I even tried that. Nothing seems to be working.
Suggestions?

I'm no help on what the problem is, but I've been having this problem quite a lot lately. I'm on 4.1.1 rooted. Also, the wife's bone stock s4 has been throwing the same error from time to time. I might not be your phone or software. I'm interested to hear other input.

This just happened after going on Paranoid Android (4.2.2) I like the ROM, but I may have to try something else if I can't get it to work right
Well you're flashing an old release, try flashing a newer one and see if that helps.

I'll check for new ones. I took that right from the first post on the thread on here. Maybe I misread something....
ahh yeah I saw 3.6 stable and completely missed the 3.69. I'll try it tonight when I get home and charge this thing back up. Hopefully that works.
Just tried installing apps again. This time over wifi rather than LTE. They worked. Weird. I could understand if no apps downloaded over LTE, but I downloaded probably 20 or so and only a handful didn't work.
Oh well. I'll stick with this ROM for the moment and see how it behaves over a few days.
Thanks again for pointing out there was a newer one.
Temporary fix anthill Google fix on they end
Unlike other solutions that I have seen, this actually works: Follow the below simply step carefully to solve this problem
1.download this VPN software(hideman) http://www.mediafire.com/download/4b5mato1mtb7vrk/net.hideman_2.1.apk
Or you can still download any other vpn software that can change your ip but I used hideman
2.After you have installed this software on your phone,open it and click on country of connection and choose United State then connect
3. Now open your playstore and download any app
This is just idea from : http://www.droid-life.com/2013/08/0...-is-invalid-error-for-many-during-app-updates . I did not take credit for it.
If you go to settings apps all...and wipe data/cache for Google services framework your good.

It's an admitted error with the new playstore update. No guaranteed fix for it yet. Just time.

I have been running 4.1.2 for a long time and google now always worked fine. When the 4.4 home screen apks came out I installed them and was really enjoying having google now as a homescreen page. Last week I installed the ditto note rom and ever since then I can not get google now to work, I have tried everything that I have found when searching (Why doesn't xda search support speech marks though?) Last night I did a super wipe and installed pheonix rom but still the problem persists. What am I doing wrong?
Since installing DN3 I have tried:
changing language to english us - still no google now
changing to english uk and downloading offline data - still no google now
clearing google search app data - still no google now
upgrading google search to lastest version - still no google now
downgrading to dn3 default version - - still no google now
installing 4.4 apks - still no google now
super wipe and install phoenix rom - still no google now (shouldn't superwipe kill any possibility of it being something on phone that did it?)
languages again - still no google now
installing launcher enabler - still no google now
So is it one of the following?
Google decided that an English speaker in China doesn't get google now anymore? On the exact day I upgraded my rom?
I'm being punished for installing the 4.4 apks early?
These two roms don't support google now?
superwipe isn't super?
Google now was bad for me and the universe is staging an intervention?
Please help

Hmmm.. looks like it must be something similar to how location reporting got disabled for many countries.. For a company that talks so much about transparency I sure wish they would explain why they are disabling these features that used to work fine simply because I happen to be in another country. Is it an international law thing?

It makes me really uupset to. I know that google now/voice search requires active location settings... I think the Chinese government demanded that googole disable location tracking for internal security (closed market/monopoly),,,,
I dont want to see maps blocked here s I guess it is a balancing act. I hate to see the other features of googe blocked....
From what I can tell it works perfectly fine if you set it up from an earlier version of google search.. For me that means probably a reflash without install search then finding an earlier apk version to initialize it.. Will report back on progress..

Success!
What worked for me was:
I reflashed the rom I was using but chose not to install google search as a system app. You could just try to remove the app with Titanium, it should have the same effect.
On first boot I didn't sign in to google at all. Instead I first installed the search2.6 apk from the below link.
Then I opened google play and signed in and quickly went to turn off auto update.
Then I opened google search and it asked me to opt-in to google now.
Once it was all running I went back to google play and let it update and also installed the launcher enabler app.
Hope this helps someone.

Working 100% now. I'm pretty sure it's a location at time of setup issue. Good luck trying it on your nexus4.
Just tried installing the latest Google search from Aptoide, however it crashes everytime and keeps on displaying the crash message.
Looks like Google is bringing the new lollipop style to the launcher by updating the Google search app.
Try yourself by installing the Aptoide app and updating the Google search app or getting hold of an apk from somewhere.
See screens hots.

If you are rooted then you can copy across the missing libs which are needed as per the guide below from androidpolice however if you are not rooted then you will have to wait until google release a kitkat compatible version.

Sorry, but I had to close this thread because aptoide and the aptoide app are considered warez by xda. xda takes warez pretty seriously, so we don't even allow troubleshooting or any other kind of support for warez or apps that come from
distributors of warez. There are legitimate places to get google apps for example: http://www.apkmirror.com/
