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

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.
I've come across several posts/apks/scripts/tweaks to remove the stock email exchange security so I decided to share what I built and used. The email apk that is included in this flashable zip was not created by me (not sure who the developer is so I apologize). This is a simple and quick flashable zip file. I have tested it on my Galaxy S III running both Stock TW JB and AOKP JB (Tasks ROM).
This flash "should" work on both ICS and JB. I've tested this on JB but I've used it previously on ICS. If you have any issues using it on ICS please let me know and I'll update this thread.
Install Insturctions:
STEP 0: Make a nandroid backup or backup your pHere however you see fit.
1. Download the zip File for STOCK TW HERE or AOKP HERE
2. Flash the zip using clockwork recovery
3. WIPE CACHE PARTITION & DALVIK CACHE
4. Reboot Phone and re-setup your exchange account
The apk's in these zip files are technically the same 2 files but named differently to account for whatever rom you're using.
**As always, Flash at your own risk, I am not responsible if anything happens to your phone, but I will feel bad :crying:
SInce this flashable zip replaces your stock email app with a modified apk I'll upload all the stock apk's so you can always revert back easily. If you're not sure what your stock email apk's are just navigate to your system/app folder and find the names of your email.apk and exchange.apk.
AOKP Original Email APK's - Email.apk & Exchange2.apk
Stock TW Email APK's - SecEmail.apk and SecExchange.apk
Other APK Possibility - Email.apk and Exchange.apk
On a side note, I'll be starting an APK Repository shortly just as I did for the Galaxy S II. That thread helped a lot of members on XDA so I'll bring that to the GS3 users as well.
Reserved for future use...
Thanks
Hmm seems like not that many people experienced this problem. But i need to install the email and exchange apk because the costume TouchWiz Jelly Bean rom that i was trying does not contain the email apk file originally (its kinda silly for not contain it by default...) so i need to use the apk files from my old AOKP rom. When i was setting up my exchange email, that security thingy kept popping out, sooooo annoying!!!!! Then i kept looking for a solution to solve it, and here comes the zip file. Flash it immediately, and problem solved!!!!!
Really thank you for this!!!

Make a backup with titanium backup of both your email and exchange apps. After you back them up, delete them both. Flash either of the email updates, wipe cache and dalvik cache and reboot. You should be fine using either. Worst case scenario, you delete the email APKs you flashed and restore your original ones.

Thanks dude!
I followed the steps, everything installed correctly I assume because my email app was back after I deleted it. However, exchange still asked me to accept the security steps. Is it supposed to still ask you (and just not allow it to actually make remote changes)?

Yes, it will still ask to grant it admin rights but it won't require a password or security.

I was able to delete the 2 apks from \system\app. Where are the 2 odex files? What are they named?
BTW - I'm getting the "Unfortunately, Email has stopped" and "Unfortunately, Exchange service has stopped" messages after removing said 2 files and re-flashing this zip. I'm running Devil's Reject ROM.
New Info: I just looked it up and apparently the odex files are in /data/dalvik-cache. Unfortunately, my /data/dalvik-cache is empty. Hmmmm. I must be doing something wrong. Or perhaps these apks won't run on Devil's Reject v3. Any suggestions?

My odex files are in the /system/app folder on Agriff's 747z rom.
Devils Reject is deodexed. I think I read a post directly from the dev saying that this mod won't work on his rom.
Give Agriff's rom a shot im running it now and it includes this mod. Works perfectly. :thumbup:

edit: nope still can't get the damn gmail too. everything else working fine. sigh ;(
Let's say i want to forget the gmail app. Are there any themes I can install for Nova launcher that will do the inversion in the sms and phone?
Also if I want to downgrade to 4.1.2 do I have to flash gapps or jst the 4.1.2 apk (which is what I've been doing-the latter by force installing 4.2 through titbackup and then installing the 4.1.2 apk)?
Can I just flash a standalone gmail 4.1.2 and then the inverted?

Hello!
Might sound like a stupid question :silly: but:
- is it necessary to install gapps? Or, if you just don't need/want them, don't install them and phone will work like a charm?
Asking because it says (quote):
install kernel
full wipe
flash rom
reboot into rom
reboot back into recovery
flash gapps
Just curious, as gapps install a LOT of things... Someone might need just play store, or just search, or just chrome, or... you know what I mean... :fingers-crossed:
Thanks in advance...
Gapps basically contain all the preloaded apps by Google (Google Maps, News and Weather, etc). Your phone will still work without flashing Gapps, but you'll be missing out on Google services, especially Google Now. So, it is better to flash the Gapps

Yes, you're right about what's in gapps.
But, let's say, for me, I don't need Google Maps, as I have iGO. I also have another weather app, I don't need Google Now, and so on...
With gapps installed, it's a bit hard to tell which one of gapps you can freeze or uninstall, because they seem cross-connected...
Not to mention that it's no use to have some app on the phone that you don't use or need and it's just taking some memory...
So, basically, like you said, no need to install gapps and if I want just one app from Google, I install it. And the phone will work. Good, thank you!
You can install gapps and then use a root explorer to go into /system/app and delete the apps you don't need.

I'm not running MOAR... is Gmail a System App on it? If it isn't a system app, you can just uninstall it and install the official Gmail app from the Play Store.
If it is a system app, you can use Titanium Backup to move it to a user app and then uninstall it. I honestly don't know if this will mess things up with other things in the Rom, though. At the very least, you could freeze it in Titanium Backup and then install the Play Store version of it.
What topherk said is right, alternatively you can go into /system/app (with a root browser) and delete the Gmail app, then install it from the play store and profit
Titanium Backup. Uninstall Gmail and install it again from Play. Don't freeze it just uninstall it.
