I rooted my phone to get rid of the annoying ads and used adaway from the play store on the stock rom but after trying out a couple of roms this past day I wanted to go back to stock rooted so I flashed the original rooted rom but it seems that I cant find either adfree or adaway in the play store or from links on the Internet. Any suggestions how to fix? Thanks

That's because Google nuked it from their store

Do you know an alternative or...?

A quick search would reveal that they have been removed by Google. If they are free apps you should be able to find an apk.
Found this after googling AdAway.

Is there not a fix for google play movies yet?
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium
There's nothing to fix. Its specifically designed not to work on rooted devices. If you want it to work, you have to be on stock unrooted rom. Although now I'm curious if it'll work on cm9 now that you can disable root in the developer options

So this is still an issue? I was having the device rooted can't use google movies on el29. But on both fc22 n 24 it works for me. I thought google probably remove that but i guess not. Im runing fc24 oneclick by sfhub. Maybe it gets broken when u use another recovery besides stock?? I never bothered installing another recovery. Maybe someone should look into it. On el29 i did have rogue recovery installed.

There is an app called hide my root. Never used it but I assume that will work.
You can use the supersu (can't remember if its free or pro) app to disable root. Then google play movies work.
Apps like temp root remover and hide my root have also worked for me

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.

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.

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)

I installed the new root66 JB and it seems that ad-free android doesn't actually block ads anymore. It says my host file is up to date, and and I restarted but I still get ads in places that I didn't get before the update. Xda, Pandora, ect. Is anyone else having this problem?

You have to check the symlink if needed button and run it and it should work

I just had to go and find Ad Free again and install it. Cannot find it on google anymore, had to use dogpile. This app just disappeared from my tablet, I think google playstore had something to do with that. Now that it is reinstalled and working, is there anyway to protect this app from google trying to purge it again? Like with Titanium Backup or something? Thanks.
Google didn't purge it. Well they did, but only from their store.

Why not use what everyone else uses to remove ads, here is the link for "Adaway.apk" and it works just as well on JB or
any other versions of roms.
Here is the direct download link: http://www48.zippyshare.com/v/60362249/file.html
The play store no longer supports any add-blocking apps that's why you will not find it there.
Good Luck!
Was wondering if anyone had a zip or apk of the stock apps such as group play polaris office 5 or if they kniw a way I could obtain such things. I am trying to flash an aokp rom such as kitkat or cm10.2 but I wish to retain group play app and havent had any luck finding the apks

I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but none of the stock Jellybean Touchwiz 4.2.2
Samsung apps will work if you flash any AOKP/AOSP/CM type roms.
But good luck in any case.
Well thanks for the info now I can stop my search sucks but atleast now I know why I couldnt find such a thing guess ill just have to live without it if I go to aosp
