Play store installed apps error after data wipe

So I recently did a data wipe in order to upgrade to aokp b29. Before the whole process, my market worked fine, but now my installed apps are not appearing nor can I see that other tab (all apps? Or something... History?) because it gives an error as shown in the attached screenshot. My Installed tab just shows the apps I manually installed after restoring everything with titanium backup. I have about 310 apps on my phone and only the last 4 I installed yesterday show up. I have a suspicion that it was titanium backup that caused my play store account to bug out because I remember the market was fine after I booted up b29 for the first time but haven't used titanium backup yet, then after restoring all my apps + data, my play store became messed up. I tried using the market link doctor function on titanium backup to redo all the attached links to the market but that didn't help. Also tried clearing market data and cache, and restoring phone but obviously that didn't work either. Any suggestions? I was hoping that waiting for it to be fixed on its own would work but it's been like this for 4 days now, I would like to avoid another data wipe if it can be helped :x thanks.

I had a similar problem, you should wipe your device and start fresh. Don't restore any system data or apps.

Can I backup my user apps + data before wiping?

By all means yes back them up but the only thing I'd recommend restoring is your SMS, music or pictures. Stuff that's not going to be potentially corrupt is safe. A good idea us to use a tool kit like http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1392310 and use the option to BOOT not flash cwm recovery and create a nandroid backup so if you aren't happy with the results at least you can return to your current state. A fresh install is best IMO just to make sure you don't install things which are broken

wtf ... i formatted data, cache, dalvik cache, flashed aokp b29 and gapps.. and bam.. the problem is still here.. exactly as it was before .. this is frustrating :/ .......
anyone know what on earth the problem could be ??? btw all my purchased apps are shown as never have been bought either, and when i try to rebuy something, i get an error with transaction email from Google.... the only way to install paid apps on my phone now is through the browser which still works fine ..but ..still... wth :/

There are TONS of people having this and similar problems - a quick search of the forums and the net in general will bear this out.
You can do whatever you like if it makes you feel good, but Google's going to have to fix this one themselves.

....................yea i know their store crashed but that was a week ago and they said its been fixed ...................
can anyone actually help plz, condescending remarks aside

[Q] Samsung Contacts App Not Working

Hello,
On Saturday I flashed Clean ROM ACE 5.0 onto mine and my wife's Samsung Galaxy Note 2's.
The one problem we're both having is that the contacts app stops working. (It worked fine for the first day for me and my wife's was good until today)
No amount of wiping and re-flashing is working.
Going to settings->application->all-> and then clearing the data in contacts and contacts storage doesn't work.
Even on a completely fresh flash of the rom, without installing any other apps or setting up our google accounts, we'll still get the message "unfortunately, contacts has stopped".
I've tried installing new samsung contacts apps into the system/app folder with rw-r--r-- to no avail.
I've even changed custom recoveries...
Strangely enough, 3rd party contact apps work, but I'd like to just keep the 'stock' samsung one if I could.
Any ideas?
Thanks!

Changing recoveries WAS not needed too get a APP to work for you!!!
You ever think that it might be a bad download you had since you flashed the same room on both phones! And got the same results from both!
Anyway you can also access your contacts from the phone APP! Just in case you didn't know.. What I have set up on my Pie app to access the dialer/contacts... pic here:

I would start over fresh, since you tried flashing other Samsung contact apk. And everything else you were doing trying to get it to work! Might have corrupted your system..

I know, it was a last resort. Just thought I'd follow the dev's instructions to the letter, since stranger things have happened.

Yes, opening up the dialer/phone app and tapping the contacts tab get the same result "unfortunately, contacts has stopped working".
Even, starting a text message and trying to choose a contact doesn't work.

[Q] Android Device Manager Not Working With Nexus 7

The title says it all pretty much. I've scoured Google for help with this issue and everything I've tried doesn't work. Both "Remotely Locate" and "Allow remote lock and erase" are checked. I've tried clearing the data for both Google Play Store and Google Play Services and restarting several times but no dice.
This issue came about when I misplaced my tablet the other day and logged into ADM to locate it only to find that it doesn't show up in the list.
I should probably mention I'm running stock ROM 4.4.2. It also doesn't appear in the devices under the settings in the Google Play Store. Funny, my 2 year old HTC One X running CM11 shows up just fine on ADM. Any help is certainly appreciated! Thanks.

Ok then what I would do in your position is
1. remove my Google account on the device
2. wipe cache and dalvik
3. reboot
4. renter my Google account
I suspect that it is something similar to what happens to Google play (continual error ###- can't remember the number at the moment) and doing this almost always fixes Google play.
If all this fails I would flash the factory Image from Google and let Google restore my apps.
I hope this helps and you don't have to resort to anything this drastic.

Is there a way to wipe dalvik cache on the stock ROM? I tried removing the Google account and wiping regular cache but it's still not working. If nothing else, next step is to factory reset. Still, I don't see how it'll be any different than when I started it up for the first time and entered my account.

I understand my friend, I have some problems too with my current rom but 5.0 should be out on 12th (I hope so) so I don't want to do a clean install now. But this Gmail app works without problems on my phone, I uninstalled the previous version and installed this one.

It works on mine too ty very much!

Anyone else having issues with Oreo and the latest Theme Store version?

I just get an app crash every time I try to apply a theme. I can browse and download themes just fine, but every time I try to apply one (any one it seems) the app crashes before any theme elements are applied.

Nope working fine here.
Try force stopping the theme store and disabling it. This will uninstall all updates and then enable it again and update it and try the themes.

Yeah, tried that. Tried disabling it, re-enabling it, updating it, then rebooting the phone. Still crashes. Tried uninstalling the update and running the stock version, still crashes.

Hrmm, further fiddling and the Domin8 theme applies. After applying that, Venom can apply too, but not Arrival or Bushido, or Torment: Tides of Numenera.

Huh that's odd. I just applied Bushido and the default theme okay this is certainly strange.
Can you go to the developer settings and take and bug report after the crash happens and upload it to Google drive and post it here with full sharing abilities?
That way @TheCrazyLex can take a look see if he has time.
You're not rooted or anything like that are you?

https://drive.google.com/open?id=1XpHM4CtR7OplBvEg_0lH9SCVyN4SaYpg
Here's the report immediately following the crash when I attempted to apply "Bushido".
edit: I'm not rooted or running any custom rom. Totally stock.
edit again: I browsed through the log pack myself and the exception begins shortly after 05-09 11:45:43.184 where there appears to be a null pointer that shouldn't be null.

Thanks a lot for the report!
I've forwarded it to the right people to check on the issue.

I had this issue when I first got the phone about 6 weeks ago and just stopped using it as you can update theme through Nova. I then checked about 2 weeks ago and it was working. Suspect the app had maybe updated itself?

Latest update (version 1.11.229) seems to have corrected the issue for me. All the themes that previously caused crashes on apply now apply successfully.

Hello,
I'm having some trouble with the Theme Store, cannot download any themes at all. I am on latest MR1 oreo release and have the most up to date Theme Store installed.
When I hit 'Download' it just says "Preparing Download" but nothing happens. I have only ever been able to download and apply the flat blue theme but no other ones.
Any suggestions?

I'd start with the basics. Remove the app updates, force stop it, and then clear the app's data and cache. For giggle, reboot the phone after that. Then re-install the store version and try again.

Just tried all that, disabled the app to remove updates, force stop, clear data and cache. Rebooted the phone, re-enabled the app and installed updates. Same deal, does not download any theme.
Tried on WiFi and mobile data too.
