[Q] Xperia Pro - Ultima - Play Store Error

Hi
Just installed the Ultima ROM by Riyal and I find that every time I try to open an app in play store (pardon my noobness here, first time android user) after searching, I get a Force Close error....am unable to access any app or download anything from the play store by searching for it, updates to existing apps are working fine though. Any thoughts/help please? I really love the way the phone is working after installing the new ROM but the market not working handicaps me in a major way!

[Q] [Noobie] HTC Desire/AOKP VJ 4.2.2/PlayStore issue

Hi,
My understanding is I can't post directly to the HTC Desire forum, due to the xda 10 posting rule, so I'll try and ask here.
I've installed a new ROM on my HTC Desire (AOKP VJ 4.2.2), previously had the CyanogenMod 10 ROM installed
from the same author, VJ (aka CM10_VJ_4.1.2_V3.1_with_GApps.zip).
With CM10/Android 4.1.2 I don't recall having any issues downloading apps from the Play store. However, since
upgrading to AOKP VJ 4.2.2, I receive an error when trying to re-install certain apps.
I cannot install some apps, eg. Runtastic (play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.runtastic.android&hl=en)
nor RunKeeper (play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.fitnesskeeper.runkeeper.pro&hl=en).
The message from the Play Store is "Your device isn't compatible with this version" and so I don't have an install button
to proceed (however, I had both of these apps working fine under CM10 4.1.2)
I also cannot restore it from my Titanium backup, the message it returns is "X App not installed". How do I go
about getting either of these applications installed.
Help?

You understand wrong. You only cant post in the dev section where this doesnt belong anyway. I will mov it there for you.
Your biggest issue maybe that those apps dont work with 4.2.2 as no device has this officially yet.

It might be a DPI issue or try placing the app into the system/app directory and setting permissions

Just to clarify, I have the HTC Desire (Bravo) not the HD.
I have found in the forums (eg. forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2184742) where it has been installed on Galaxy S3 4.2.2, however they are reporting issues in the way it is calculating distances. My issue is the Play store, nor Titanium backup will allow me to install.
I've taken a look at androidforums.com/droid-all-things-root/64603-installing-apk-in-system-app-directory.html in regards to how to put the apk in the system/app directory, but how can I place the apk in the system/app directory when I can't get to the apk from Play store or Titanium backup?
Thanks in advance!

Is there a reason you're not posting this in the Desire S forums? For all we know, this could be a phone- or ROM-specific problem. Your phone's forum's members would know that kind of stuff much better than we would.

Well go back to when those apps were working on earlier builds or different ROMs than make a BU of those specific apps..that backup is saved to your sdcard..than when you flash that ROM you wanted...use a file browser,navigate to the saved TiBu folder and there's that app..copy it than paste into the system/app directory,set permissions than reboot

AFAIK,now correct me if I'm wrong but 9 times our of 10 those kind of Google play store errors are generally caused by using a screen resolution size that is either to big or to small...The only solid fix I know of when it comes to that issue is to purchase LCD density modder pro,change the dpi, download the dsf file and the modified play store file,install than reboot..after reboot you have a changed DPI and you know longer get the updated versions on Google play store such as 3.10.14 or the latest 4.0.25...

Thanks to everyone for your responses. I tried another option (installed CM10.1 VJ Jelly Bean 4.2.2), and all those apps
now install fine from the Play store; all good now.
Thanks again.

Stock Android 4.4 KitKat Launcher & Google Apps Extracted

NOTE
1 Just install the apks as a normal app unless you wanna push it to /system/app and make it a system app.
2 It should work for all the devices with Android 4.2 or above.
3 Anyway, if you are on Android 4.1 or below, you may still give it a try if there is no 'error parsing package' occurred.
4 The fix has to be extracted to replace the previous lib under system/lib, do not flash it.
5 If you are pushing the apks to /system/app or replacing the lib, ensure that the permission is set to rw-r--r-- to avoid FC.
Stock Android 4.4 KitKat Launcher --- Here’s what you’ll need to install:
1 PreBuiltGmsCore (Google Play Services 4.0) Download [Mirror]
2 Velvet (Google Search) Download [Mirror]
3 GoogleHome (Google Launcher) Download [Mirror]
UPDATE 1: Google Search Force Close fix:
Long press the home screen, select Settings. Select Voice. Select Language to change the default. Change to another language, for me I choose English – UK. Hit Home. Do a Google Search. Repeat the first three steps. Change back to English – US. (you may have to redo this step every time you restart --- if you experienced FC --- for non-rooted users)
OR
Please extract and replace the /system/lib/libgoogle_recognizer_jni.so with the one downloaded from THIS or THIS LINK. (permanent fix --- for rooted users)
UPDATE 2: "Ok, Google" search feature fix:
If anyone has a problem with the "Ok, Google" search feature, you have to get the English (US) language update. Under "Language and Input" --- "Voice Search"/ "Google Now Settings" --- "Voice", tap "Offline Speech Recognition" --- "All" and tap "English (US)" to update. After it is done, press home and it should be working! If you've cleared data on the app, it'll erase the update and you'll need to do this again.
Google Apps Extracted:
Contact and dialer are not added because they did not work while calculator and map are not added due to parsing error~The apps may not fit every screen perfectly due to different screen resolution
Calendar Download [Mirror]
Clock Download [Mirror]
If you're getting an install prompt instead of the update one, chances are this APK will refuse to install. This happens because this package's pname is com.android.deskclock, and yours is probably com.google.android.clock, so it's not installing as an update but rather as a separate app, and then failing because the same provider name has already been declared. The only way around this would be to freeze/uninstall the stock clock, as far as I can tell, which requires root. You may need to clear data for the Clock app after installation - otherwise it may FC on start.
Email Download [Mirror]

i9000 user here running 4.2.2 Cyanogen Mod September Nightly.
Launcher, Google Search, Google Keyboard & Email apps are running perfectly fine.
Hangouts although running fine but freezes and crashes often. I am being told that its Hangouts' own issue and it'll get fixed with an update.
Clock for some reason keeps crashing. Can you guys help me on that?
Haven't tried the other apps but i assume they'd work fine too.

Edit mode in gallery crashes for me.
I am in i9505 with Google Edition ROM 4.2.2.

Kernel for GT i9000
Helloe
Can anyone give me list of all kernel for my GT i9000.
I am currently using Mackay ROM (4.4.2 version) Kernel used Mackay 0.609

[4.4.4] MIUI [4.9.5][AOSP Omni based]

Well everyone probably already knows I hate doing OP's so they stay pretty simple and this wont will be any different.
This is ported from the N7100 which is based on Omni rom. Original rom is located here
http://en.miui.com/download-35.html
and is the one by mdiary. So far only issues I know of it call recorder does not work (just says being used by another app) and you have to go into settings..mobile networks..network mode and change to CDMA+LTE/EvDO to enable 4g after every boot. If you flash any gapps package you will lose gps. I am working on a special version but it is not ready just yet.
So I took the base and turned it into a full featured rom with a whole mess of add-ons and tweaks.
Included items/tweaks/mods
Adfree (although I already have a host list created)
dolphin browser
dolphin jetpack plugin
adobe flash 11.1 kk
es file manager
LG G3 Keyboard and a few themes
WSM (MIUI Xposed)
Mi-Tools module (like wanam or gravity box)
Paid themes module (all miui themes are free)
AOSP Dash Clock widget
AOSP Calender widget
Terminal emulator
A bunch of build.prop tweaks
A bunch of init.d scripts (to enable them you need to use a root browser and edit /system/etc/init.d.cfg change from false to true to enable that script)
Bug list
MIUI-l900 4.9.5
Any Omni bugs
call recording does not work
If you flash any gapps besides mine you will lose gps
Change Log
MIUI-l900 4.9.5 9-8-14
First port of rom

Downloads
Flashing instructions
1. Backup internal sdcard to you PC or external sdcard (this will really help prevent issues
2. Boot into recovery and backup current rom
3. Do a factory reset (if using philz/cwm do clean for new rom)
4. Format/wipe internal sdcard (if you dont do this and have issues first thing I will say is format it)
5. Reboot back into recovery (this will create your internal sdcard dir structure)
6. Flash MIUI and boot it
7. After initial setup power off and boot into recovery
8. Flash Gapps (please do it in this order or you will end up wiping and reflashing)
9. Boot into rom
10. Go to post #3 and follow those steps
Do not flash any kernel besides the modified Plasma or your rom wont boot. If there is an AOSP kernel you want to use let me know and I will make it compatible. This goes for the dual boot kernel (for now anyways).
MOD EDIT: Removed

Simple things for now
1. Open security (located on first screen)..permissions.. and turn on root permission
2. Open WSM tools (miui xposed) and click install DO NOT reboot yet
3. At top of the screen you will see < Manage click here and enable all three modules
4. Reboot phone and setup Mi-Tools to your liking and reboot for settings to be applied
5. Open settings... general settings tab... mobile networks... network mode... set to CDMA+LTE/EvDO (will have to do this every boot to have 4g(LTE)
6. If you want to use a different launcher ( I dont like the iOS style launcher myself ) open settings... general settings... display... default launcher.. and select launcher3 or whatever you have installed yourself
7. Setup your google account and enjoy
Some things are in Chinese
in settings... general settings.. stock settings you will see two chinese options the top one is your advanced settings for samsung devices the bottom one is your Mi-POP settings (that circle with the back icon)
BELOW IS A NICE GUIDE FOR MIUI

How to install Google Contacts and Google Dialer?

Hi guys. Is there any way I can have Google Contacts and Google Dialer on the OP3 and receiving updates by Playstore?
Sent from my ONEPLUS A3000 using XDA-Developers mobile app

I tried this yesterday you have to install them both manually (the dialler can only be rc8 and nothing above) but it does not work, incoming calls don't display and out going calls cannot be made.
The contacts app however works fine but you won't be able to install it from the playstore as it's nexus only.

Looks like I was wrong you can do it.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-3/how-to/guide-how-to-install-google-dialer-phone-t3443006
1) install the latest google contacts apk from http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google...e/google-contacts-1-5-16-android-apk-download
2) install rc8 of google dialler (rc9 and above won't work) from http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google...google-phone-3-01-08_rc8-android-apk-download
3) Disable the inbuilt dialler app
4) Then go to settings - apps - phone - permission and enable all permissions.
5) Then go to settings - apps then default apps then dialler and choose phone.

Done.

Running FreedomOS - OxygenOS 3.5.0
I flashed the dialer with framework from the first link. Then updated to the latest dialer via apkmirror http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google...gle-phone-4-0-129037693-android-apk-download/
Google Contacts can be installed directly from apkmirror http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google.../google-contacts-1-5-16-android-apk-download/
Afterwards I froze the old phone and contact app from oneplus and also InCallUI because it gave me double notifications when recieving a call and also two call screens...

I installed the dialer as this tutorial:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-3/how-to/guide-how-to-install-google-dialer-phone-t3443006
And I installed contacts this link:
http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google.../google-contacts-1-5-16-android-apk-download/
But neither is recognized as installed by the playstore. It keeps popping up that they are incompatible.

You do know the ones on the playstore are not compatible and only work with Nexus devices and some only with 7.0. You have it working now so you will have to wait for them to be officially released of course prior to it linking correctly to Play Store. At least that what I would assume

I read about it, but I saw people using the CM saying that can update through playstore, I thought with Oxygen I could also update.
