Ok, so my Xperia Play began acting really weird lately. It all began when I flashed one CM10 ROM (forgot which - I flash lots of ROMs to test out(BTW, I am experienced at flashing so no problems there)) and guess what? Even after flashing GApps the usual setup wizard did not show up.
Of course, no problems there, I can still do everything normally.
Then, all my apps that were moved to my SD card disappeared after a reboot. I wiped /data, even flashed a whole new ROM, but did not fix the problem.
And then, to make matters worse, the Google Account manager FC everytime I try to sign in. At first I thought it was all right, since I saw my account in Settings, but then I found out that I will always get a "Server Error" while accessing the Play store! That's right - no Play store for me anymore:crying:
I wiped a couple more times, flashed all the ROMs I can find but the problem still persists. Now a Play is a sad device with only a couple of Mbs left in the internal storage....
Any one has been through this before/ knows how to fix it?
PS: I recently changed my Sandisk class 2 SD Card for a imation class 4 sd card BTW. The ROM i'm running right now is CM10 FYI.
reflash ur kernel..which kernel ldid u use? i onece used turbo jb multiboot kernel and all my apps that have been moved to sd disappeared after rebooting
I'm using lupus v6

I've been following the CM7 nightly builds on my Incredible with no issues at all, I love it.
The problem I've been having is my girlfriend has an incredible as well and wanted to try out CM7. Rooted her phone no problem, installed the free copy of ROM manager (I have the paid, was wondering if maybe thats where the issue was coming into play) and dropped the latest nightly onto her SD Card.
When I install the ROM manually through recovery (wiped both dalvik and cache first) the ROM gets to the CM7 logo and then just sticks there, looping the logo over and over.
I restore the backup of sense, then install the ROM via Rom Manager's "Install ROM from SD Card" option, choose to wipe data and cache and it installs and boots no problem..or so it seems at first.
Even after repeated attempts at installing there are a lot of random issues that I never ran into at all. Every time she'll have a few contacts missing, and the bigger issue - she can't launch Facebook or any apps that have Facebook (Tweetdeck etc) they just force close instantly. Many other apps seem to just force close at random as well.
I installed CM6.1 just to see if it had any similar issues but it went smooth. I've run out of ideas so any suggestions would be appreciated.
Once it boots up, go into rom manager and fix permissions.

First, how long did was the boot animation going for CM7? My first install of CM7 took anywhere between 5-10 minutes of the logo looping (shocked the mess out of me cuz I never sat so long for a load). Maybe giving another nightly a try and waiting out the initial boot will resolve all issues. Personally, I flash rom's manually and have had little to no issues.
Second, maybe this was a specific nightly issue. I was running nightly #31 then switched to #36 and both ran perfectly. Try reflashing the rom and wiping everything again. Also, if your contacts ARE NOT stored under her gmail account this may be the reason you observe missing contact. All her contacts linked to her gmail should instantly reinstall each time you flash a rom/nightly/etc.
Did this help?
I am using Leedroid 3.0.8.2 A2SD+ with market i think 2.3.6 market, it was working fine up until a few weeks ago when now it reports that i have updates but doesnt actually download and install them. It does not get stuck it just goes Downloading then it goes back to Update.
I have tried clearing the market cache and data and also downloader with no hope. Phone has been power cycled too
Does anyone have any ideas?
The only thing i can think of is because the 8GB SD card the linux partitions may not be large enough?
Market 3.1.5 or earlier versions do not work either, i get into the same cycle of it downloading but never installing.
Update: I have wiped the phone keeping the chef cooked rom and this resolves it, restoring all apps from backup it also continues to work. I do not understand what would cause it to stop working in the first place?
I had the same problem and solved it the same way. I couldn't figure it out either.
Ben did you have the same ROM too?
Hello,
I just installed BCM RC2.2U4 GSM on my Desire.
PVT1 AMOLED
16gig Class 6 SD-Card, 2 gig SD-ext
no swap
Stock hboot
latest radio
I went through the Aroma Installer and chose Play Store to install. Dalvik and Apps m2sd.
Everything went fine so far, I booted, did a reboot - then stuck on boot animation.
Pulled battery - second boot worked fine. Everything looks good.
But the PlayStore wasnt installed? Tried the same process again - same.
Then pulled the APK from the gapps.zip from cyanogendmod wiki and installed it myself. Install went through, but the PlayStore keeps FCing. I did clean cache and forced to stop and tried again - same behaviour..
No I dont know what to do?!
Thanks for you help,
David
Additional Info:
Chose Nova Launcher
I came from BCM version b0.3.6_1 so first time with HWA
And I installed the update for Camera Preview fix
If your "Android Market" works, just be happy and let everything as it is. There is no "need" to upgrade to Play Store.
Hi,
well I did have the Play Store on my previous installation, too. And it did work fine!
Just tried it again. I can open the app now and browse all the apps. But when I want to update an App it FCs immediately...
Also I noticed that the Play Store seems not be a system app. It appears under "downladed" in settings->apps

Try to unistall market using root explorer or root uninstall and then extract market .apk from RC2.2U4 or older version and then install it
Unless I'm wrong, which, you know, I'm not...
I got it to work with a complete reinstall, this time choosing the "old market " option in aroma.
Still it is shown as play store?! I didn't know about the different apks so I guess I had the regular market before, but it just has a new icon and name.. I was not aware of this.
Now everything works just awesome. Love this Rom!
And thanks for your help!

Hey guys:
Unlocking and rooting my HTC Wildfire was the second most frustrating experience of my life. However, it's finally over and I flashed CM 10 onto my phone along with 4.1.2 GApps signed (I followed this tutorial http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1878031&highlight=unlocked+bootloader+but+s-on).
Everything seemed to go well, except the Google Play Store doesn't work. It keeps giving me the "Error retrieving information from server. [RH-01]" message. I've also noted that Google Services Framework is NOT installed on my phone. I should note that I have 0 apps installed, meaning I do not have a file manager and there is no file manager/explorer that comes stock as far as I'm aware.
I've looked all over the internet and everything tells me to erase the cache because corrupted data seems to be the most common cause of this error message. This is obviously not the case with my phone. What do I need to do to get this thing to work? I've reflashed the GApps and even flashed a different one. I've tried manually downloading and installing Google Services Framework but it won't install. I've tried moving files around on my SD card (the only thing I can access from my computer) and nothing has worked.
I'm just about at my wit's end here guys. Please help me!
PS. I have a clockworkmod back-up from before my phone was rooted saved onto my computer. However it doesn't have my apps in it so I don't think I can get a file manager from it.
**FIXED**
I feel like an idiot, but the reason it wasn't working was because the CM 10 mod I was trying to install failed to install :S I wrote the warning sign off as something else and didn't read the message it sent me I guess.
ANYWAY I found a fix here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2136011 use the SLIMCM-10 ROM instead and that's what fixed if for me (use all the other downloads he has there too, except for the regular CM10 mod). Thanks for the help that I received, and sorry for being a n00b. Love this community BTW, you guys are the best!
This happened to me the first time I flashed icu's marvelc port of paranoid android...I fixed it by wiping everything and just reflashing the whole rom and gapps. Try that. Tell me if it works.

Hi. I just installed unofficial CM9 on my Wildfire Buzz and to update hangouts, I required Google Play Services. I installed it from the market but it seems to be Crashing every few seconds with the prompt "Unfortunately, Google Play Services has stopped"... This has been getting real annoying. I nearly tried everything, Wiping its and play store's cache, data, rebooting to recovery, wiping cache and dalvik cache, factory resetting and even just re-installing Google Play services.Nothing seems to work. Do I need to convert Play services to a system app or something? I'm confused. Someone help?

On the cm9 thread there should be a package called GApps (short for Google apps) did you flash the correct version for ICS?
Sent from my HTC Desire S using Tapatalk
Seems odd.
Yes, I did. I also noticed that the play services framework IS there in system/app but it installed the update as an absolutely different app. Why do I say so? Here -
1.When I installed it from the play store, It said installing not updating
2.It can be moved to the sdcard with ds app2sd without ds system app remover.

This error mainly occurs when I load the play store or hangouts. Should I try to backup the install app to an apk and replace the one in the system folder?
EDIT! : Google Play Services has gone missing from /system/app after reboot! Even play store has automatically downgraded itself and Gives "server error" when I try to open it. Re-installing ROM with different slim-gapps package rather than full gapps (Saves me 40MB space!---- Lulz.xD)
Whaa?

Okay, I reinstalled gapps and the rom and I still have the same issue. It pops up ever 7-10 seconds in Play music. Any help? Had this issue on another port of cm9 too! Is this an ics bug?

I really don't think he Rom thread had anything useful. It is not listed in the bugs section. I followed all the instructions again and didn't get anywhere except 2 more errors - com.google.process.gapps has stopped and Play store has stopped. Trying to get the logcat now. The error only appears when I connect to the internet. Shall I turn off sync? Can it be related? If it doesn't work, I would probably have to change my rom. >.<
I'm using this rom with the Full Gapps included on the thread. Still Google Play services has stopped. :/

Edit: Google Play services has started to receive the 2nd update today. Let's see what happens! Will start logcat once play services is up and running to capture the first force close.

Hmmm. A few more questions
Have you moved any Google play related apps to your sdcard?
Does your sdcard have an ext partition?
Is the date and time on your phone correct?
Can other apps connect to the internet without issue?
Is your home internet connection stable? ie any chance the gapps package you downloaded has became corrupted?
Had you tried any other ROMs?

Have you moved any Google play related apps to your sdcard? - No. I had earlier. Right now, all on internal storage.
Does your sdcard have an ext partition? - No
Is the date and time on your phone correct? - Yes. It is usually on automatic.
Can other apps connect to the internet without issue? - Yes. Browser and Talk can connect. Hangouts after update does connect but keeps crashing
Is your home internet connection stable? ie any chance the gapps package you downloaded has became corrupted? - Internet is on all the time and is supported by a backup power source so it never shuts. I re-downloaded it anyways and same issue. I have used other cm9 ics roms, same issue.
Btw, it just finished updating, No issues yet. (Been 30 mins! Woah!Still connected to wifi)

That's great news have you tried it on data and not on WiFi? It might have been your internet connection
Also as a rule of thumb you should be careful what apps you move to your sdcard as lots can have issues and some cannot run all the time (which is required for apps like SD maid)
If your getting really low on space try looking at using an ext3 partition on your sdcard and app2sd type set-ups

Thanks! But, won't moving to the sdcard and moving to an ext3 partition give the same results? I found why I was having the error. I think it was because my device was always downloading a real old version of play services. Anyways, I am trying a different rom now. Let's see if this one has the issue too or is it fixed by google. Any suggestions to some fast 4.0.4 roms? I tried Cm9 unofficial. Searching for more. Currently trying elementary ux.
