AOSP Google Apps issue... - Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III

So I've tried multiple AOSP roms and it seems with every one I try I have issues with either the play store crashing or Google+ crashing on me constantly. It's really annoying and I can't seem to figure out why it's happening. I've tried downloading multiple gapps packages, multiple times, and on multiple connections. I've checked md5s and everything comes up good. I need to figure this out cause I want my battery life back! Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

The only thing can be is that you need to make sure if it's JB 4.1.2 or 4.2 depending on the type of rom other than that you should be fine.

So if using 4.2.2 roms then which gapps package should I be using?

4.2 gapps

I don't think that's it since I've tried using the ones provided by the developer, but I will check. Thanks. It wouldn't have anything to do with firmware would it?

If you flash the rom and it boots and everything works then it's not the bootloader. The bootloader would not allow it to boot. If google is what's crashing it has to be your gapps.

Thanx a lot bro. I went a redownloaded everything and checked md5s on ROM, kernel, and gapps and everything is working flawlessly.

Swiftkey X

So I downloaded this and love using it. However one issue has come up. Whenever I reboot I have to uninstall and reinstall Swiftkey X to be able to use it. It shows as an option but after a reboot will not allow usage.
Anyone else see this?

Happens to me as well, think that's just normal though... Wish it could be fixed though lol
It wasn't an issue on the original Dinc. Im using it right now on my first Dinc until my I2 comes in the mail today. I have a beta apk that I will test out too.
I am not having this problem

Have not experienced this with either the Beta nor the final version which I loaded yesterday thanks to Amazon's Free App of the Day ;-)
I haven't had the problem either... Maybe try a reflash of your rom?

Swiftkey X works fine for me but I'm not rooted (yet)...
For those not experiencing this problem what rom and kernel are you running?
I've tried reinstalling the rom and Swiftkey multiple times... Still does not keep Swiftkey as default and will not allow it to be used even when chosen in settings.

I'm currently rooted with CM7 beta and Swiftkey works perfectly. You might want to try to clear the cache/data for Swiftkey.
Try this. Uninstall it. Go to your file manager and delete the SwiftKey folder. Reboot your phone and reinstall.
Sent from my ADR6350 using Tapatalk
Think I may have just found the problem. A few more times testing will be sure, but I think it was that SwiftKey installed to the SD card. I moved to phone and rebooted and it seems to have kept.
Didn't notice the auto install to external....

Interesting. I think I had that issue when I downloaded it the other day when I was running Gingersense. I'm running OMGB now, and haven't had the issue.

Itll help a lot to know if you're using a custom rom, are rooted, have you ever flashed any firmware?
What is your current build/baseband? Have you updated any of the Sammy apps like Media Hub, AllShare Cast, etc?

I have stock room rooted and please see the screen shot attached with the message with more information
Sent from my SGH-T999 using Tapatalk 4 Beta
Go into status and at the bottom does it say modified?
If so it may be causing the problem. Is the rom deodexed? Any bloat removed?
Did it work previously?
Try updating the sammy apps on the play store if you haven't already.
I also see your baseband and build dont match, so in guessing you updated by flashing a stock rom here? If this is the case you didn't get the full update which could also be the culprit.
Try Odin flashing the root66 firmware and see if it it works then. Im betting it will.

[Q] Can't get rid of "package file is invalid" error in PlayStore

So I flashed a bunch of roms over 2-3 days trying to find something different that I'd like. Now no matter what I try, I can't get this to go away.
I've searched and experimented for the past 2 days and I can't get anywhere.
-clear app cache
-clear app data
-remove updates
-format sd card
-factory reset phone
-turn off location services
-turn off wifi
-try new apn
-install stock rom
-install various other roms
-delete cache, permissions, etc
-different gmail accounts
-sign out, reboot, sign in
I've literally tried everything out there that I can find by searching. The last thing I haven't done that I will have to try if I can't do anything else is to "un-root" my phone back to stock.
The weird thing is if I Check the play store, it says apps are installed. But they aren't.
Any one out there have any ideas?
Going back to stock won't fix it either. It a problem on googles end.

I'm having the same issue. I'm not rooted or anything. I can download certain apps no problem but can't update any. I tried almost everything you did and nothing worked. I even took it to att and was told it's an issue with Google. You can always download a vpn app from the play store and you'll be able to download with no errors. I use hideninja Vpn.

It allows you to change your location to france, Canada or wherever which in turn changes your IP address. It doesn't change your location permanently of course, only while your connected to the app. I looked online for ways to fix the package file invalid error and this was one way posted. It definitely works if you have this annoying problem. I even went ahead and purchased the pro version of the app I posted. Lol.

I still have not fixed the issue. I was stuck on trying 2 to 3 apps that refused to work. Looking across the board, I am able to download probably 80% of the apps that I try. Nothing has allowed me to get the other 20% that refuse to work so far.
I've tried the VPN app....I don't think there is anything else out there on my end that I can do. It's weird, I can download 5 apps in a row, then one app will give me the error, then I can keep on chugging if I choose a different app.
its happenning to alot of people, myself included...no big deal, as no app is "life critical"...
when google gets it fixed, it will be back to business as usual, so just be patient

(Link)Unofficial Cm11 for T-Mo Note2

Hi. Thought I'd share this link I found on G+ with you guys. It's an unofficial build of cm11(KitKat) for T Mobile Galaxy Note 2. I own the Att I317 but I'm going to give this a try later. I believe this should work on my device also.

Did you flash with clockwork mod recovery 6.0.4.3? Use Rom manager to flash Clockworkmod recovery. Twrp won't work until it's been updated for our devices.

Use newest version of normal non touch cwm. Also use full paranoid android gapps for KitKat to get everything working. You will not have cell service if you do not use cwm.
Can you get it back?

I had switched to TWRP because my current ROM didn't flash right in CWM.
Guess if I want to try this, I'll have to go back. I haven't used a CM based ROM in a while. Anyone here using it?

is this a similar build to the one dw9906 posted? cause im running that and it almost perfect, however the camera FC sometimes, rotation is kinda sticky and flash isnt loading on my xscope browser.
everything else seems pretty solid so far.
EDIT: i guess it is the same build.
Camera hasn't fc on me yet. Rotation seems fine here. Haven't tried flash yet. Don't know if it's the same build. I tried looking for a Cm11 build before I posted this and didn't see one. I must of missed it.

I'm getting an invalid device type "t03g" on my SGH-T889 "a3lsght889. This is the correct device type from what I am reading, why am I getting an error?
Also saw a post that said something about the t03g being a clone? Now im worried about fraud on this device. Anyone have any info on this being a fraud or was that one post just misleading? Its labeled as a Samsung note 2 nd all software shows its a Samsung Note2 and all CWM and rotting images worked fine so far.
Do I need to do something special to get it to install? Any info is appreciated.
Edit: It seems the t03g was due to using that devices as a recovery my mistake from another thread. I used Rom manager to install the correct CWM and it was fine after that. Just FYI if people need it.
Thanks,

Art (android run time) is supposed to help speed up android apps and processes. Faster boot, app launching, tasks, scrolling, loading, etc. In the future it may replace dalvik. Right now its in developmental stage.

Purchased Apps Failing after Google Play Svcs Update

I got a recent update to Google Play Services and now it appears that any purchased apps no longer work. I've noticed this on a number of ROMs so it's not a ROM issue.
I've wiped Dalvik/cache and even cleared data/cache for both Google Play Store and Google Play Services. Nothing seems to be making it work.
I wonder if anybody else has experienced this issue and (hopefully) have a fix for it?
Thanks.

Now, THIS is interesting... If I stay on stock kernel, I don't have a problem. As soon as I load KT's kernel (including the latest version), that's when I have a problem. It's only started after the last few CM updates.
