Google play keeps crashing and is unusable after installing modded version

I downloaded and installed a modded version of Play from XDA and found that it made no difference. So I reinstalled the original one. Now it keeps crashing even when I don't use it. Help please

The problem with Gapps after returning to the previous Rom

Hello Everyone!
It's my first post on this forum and I hope my English will be understandable
I have problem with Gapps. I returned to Codename 3.8.0. I downloaded by Go manager latest version of Gapps (4.1.2. of course) and after flash it I'm completely without any Gapps! What to do in this situation?
Thank you for Your help.
Flash gapps after flashing the ROM. If the ROM is a Android 4.2 then you will need 4.2 gapps

The first part is normal but the second isn't. Maps, Gmail etc isn't included with gapps.
Are you using a different dpi than others?

It's probably going to help if you give some actual information here. Did you clean install, or just flash willy-nilly? What recovery do you have? What actual versions of your ROM and gapps?

Everything is wrong here. CM10 is 4.1.x, so you are probably running CM10.1 if it's 4.2.2. Also, you are using a version of gapps that is two years old. Go grab the 12/12/12 gapps which are FOR Jellybean. Try again.

At the risk of spoon feeding information that could by found easily by simply following this link, you can look here, if you haven't found that already.
Another really great resource is at goo.im, but be careful exploring there if you don't know what you're doing, which it seems like you don't, or you could easily download a package that is in development or broken.
You should probably not be posting this type of thing here, or at all, since:
a) This is something easily solved by searching, as my post has hopefully helped you to learn, and
b) You are almost certainly in over your head if you don't even know how to determine what version of package you are flashing to your device. I would be careful, since you evidently have a fairly nice phone, and it would a shame to brick it.
Thank you, come again, but only after searching first.

hey are you actually wanting a specific rom or are you wanting just any rom because I can tell you how to get the newest stable or nightlie rom and how to flash as if you just bought both your computer and phone. I am currently using my htc one v with pacman 4.2.2

Try a clean flash with all the right versions of stuff, and see what happens.

1) http://goo.im/gapps for gapps
2) newest one for 4.2 is 20130301
3) check your phone, if it says 4.1.x then use 20121011
4) connect to wifi, leave it alone.
5) google play store will update itself. (homescreen shortcut may say app isn't installed)
6) try launch play store (once) from app drawer. (instead of homescreen)
7) if everything goes right, your play store should be working by now.

[Q] unable to download from play store error 502

nothing is getting downloaded from PS.
I get this error 502.
Is this because of the Enhancer mods?

Which ROM and Gapps u are using now??
it might come because of play store has some faulty installation.
Flash GApps again and this time before flashing just check for the best compatible package to your ROM.
