Hello pplz. I installed CM 7 mod over the weekend. All went well except for the gapps. I downloaded the gapps from the provided link and flashed it using recovery. But gmail, market and goggle maps failed to install. And they were also not be shown in the market. I searched the net and found the apks of all. Market and maps were installed successfully and gmail gives the error of application not installed.
Then using root explorer I copy the gmail.apk to the system folder n still smell problem.
Please tell me a way to install Gmail
Apk.
Thanks

Were you using a different ROM before? And if so did you wipe before installing CM7?

yes did both the things
Check the permissions and you need to be s-off if using root explorer.

That is strange then. Personally, I successfully installed CM7 and then (during the same session within recovery) Google apps and had no problems whatsoever.
What kind of error message did you receive when flashing Google apps in recovery? Did you confirm that checksum of the Google appps file was correct?
And are you sure you downloaded this file:

And no some other by a mistake?
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.
So I just flashed the Darkside ICS ROM to my phone and now I am unable to go in to the Play Store, I was able to do it earlier. I think it might have happened when Ti Backup asked me if I wanted to restore my device's old ID #. Anyway to fix this?
Maybe delete and dl the store apk again

Uninstall TI completely and re-install it, when it asks to restore your old ID then tell it yes, it should reboot and fix it.
I just used Root Explore to delete the Play Store apk and reinstalled it with the latest version, problem fixed. Thanks Guys
Hello,
I have rooted my phone using the XDA suggested app. I have installed SuperUser but no apps are asking for permission to join the superuser app. Also the apps that I have (a file app like file explorer) that has the option to enable root, fails. I am trying to add the Google play store but it says "force close" everytime I try to launch it. I know that my problem is that I do not have the vending.apk in the correct directory but without the ability to write to my app folder I can't do anything... PLEASE HELP!

always remember to post in respective device sections..u mentioned about a phone in in ur post in this tablet section..please mention ur device in such cases at least it would help to move ur threads to respective device sections by forum moderators..
I posted a thread earlier, asking how to revert a Modded google play store to normal and barely got any real.. answers. I was wondering if I got a normal APK Google Play Store, replace the modded version in System>Apps with Root Browser and then Restore with Titanium Backup and reboot would it work? Mind if anyone would care to confirm this for me? If not then give me your way of returning to normal Google Play Store status.
[I was able to restore mine by downloading the newest version and putting it in system/apps, renaming it and then restarting. Make sure you change the permissions on the new file to make sure it will work right. You need to rename the new play store to phonesky.apk most likely. Just make sure that is what yours is called in system/app first.
yes, copy the playstore you want to use, copy it over using root explorer, copy to system/app dir, renaming the original first, then set the correct permissions, and reboot, it will work...
thank you
When you say change the permissions on the new file do you mean with Lucky Patcher? Just making sure..

Tap and hold in root explore. Select "permissions" and change top value to read and write, then the rest to read
Or
Type this in a terminal emulator

Chmod 644 /system/app/Phonesky.apk
Exit

Thank you thank you. I sorta figured it out with a friend if mine but this was just clarification.. I also found an option in Lucky Patcher that says "Install modded version of Google play store" as well as included a normal version of the play store
