Hello,
I've recently upgraded my Sony Xperia Acro S to android 5.0. Everything was fine, until i tried to install google play store. I downloaded .apk file from apkmirror, installed it, everything seemed fine, but when I try to open it, the app just shows a white window and immediately shuts down. It doesn't even load or anything. I tried to download different versions of google play store - new and old ones, and tried to import the apk file from computer but result is the same for every version. Any tips/ suggestions on how to fix this problem?

Google apps don't work that way. You need to flash them via recovery, and they are separate for separate Android versions. If You are on Android 5.0, You need to flash these gapps via TWRP, and if on 5.1, then these gapps. Although You need to uninstall play store completely first.

I tried installing this Google Play Store v3.9.16 from androidpolice.com. The article says to download and install just like any other apk. After installing, it just quickly opens and closes. Should I have installed it another way? It installs and works fine on my LG G2x.
The same happened with me. I downloaded the apk from http://tutznet.com/google-play-store-updated-v3916-remove-app-logs-expandable-notifications.html and transferred the apk to my phone. When I clicked on the install button, the installer kept on going. Even after 15 minutes it was still installing. I restarted the phone even with the installer running and the update was installed. I think that the apk file is not compiled properly. You should wait for the play store to update itself. I just got the automatic update 2-3 hours after doing this.:good:
Hey there,
i am really having problems installing the Google Play Store.
I first of all tried installing it via KindleFree App, but it directly closes after 1sec.
I even tried the manual adding via Vending and playstore apk, same result
i read, that some users tried it several times and just by accident it worked somehow, so i tried it like 20 times, but still doesnt work.
it closes all the time directly.
One thing to mention is, that when i install Play Store after a reboot it renames itself to "Market".
Any ideas what to do?
Running StariRom 8.3.0
edit: i even got notification that updates for my apps are available, so in the background it somehow seemed to work, but just cant open it
Hello I am new to this forum, hope this is the right place to post this,
I have a Rooted Galaxy S4 Mini, and I had a custom patch of the Play Store installed, but I just hated the icon and didnt notice any difference between the custom patch and the original version of the Play Store so I decided to go back to the original one and uninstalled the Custom one and installed the regular play store and when I did, I opened it and it started loading and showed me the Terms of Service once more but suddenly the little window with the Terms disappeared and the Play Store froze. Soon after it just crashed and a message saying it had stopped appeared. And this just repeats itself everytime I try to open it, It wont even let me tap accept or decline. I tried installing previous versions of the Play store and the same thing happens, tried clearing cache & data and reboot, didnt work, tried clear cache, data, then force stop and reboot and got nothing. tried doing this to Google Play Services, services framework and play store, nothing. I even tried uninstalling updates of Google Play services and all of this steps again. But nothing. And yes, my download manager is enabled. I was so desperate I decided to back everything up with Titanium backup and then I did a factory reset. When it turned on and I configured it, there was no Play Store in my apps. So I manually installed ES File Explorer and Titanium backup to restore my phone and my backup wasnt there unfortunately so I installed Play Store manually too and I got the same error! And now I got to personalize everything again and download all the stuff I had back in so it would be nice to at least get the Play Store working again, please help me!
Sorry for long post please give me some of your time and help me
Thanks
Are you on stock rom? Are you using the GT-I9195 LTE model?
I am on Stock ROM, and I have a GT-I9195L Model its supposed to be LTE I think.
It seems my problem has been solved! Thank god!
I updated all my apps through Aptoide and the play store too, somehow that fixed my problem even though it was the same version.
Thanks
Hi, i have a Chinese Galaxy Note 8.0 (Android version: 4.1.2), and because of that, I have problems obtaining apps. I am using aptoide, but not being a savvy user, it's a bandaid at best (much better than the samsung store, anyway).
So i decided to install it. Coming from here:
http://www.androidpit.com/forum/589877/how-to-install-google-play-store-if-it-is-not-pre-installed
I arrived at this thread:

The rooting part went very easy, and now my tablet is rooted. But when it comes to installing the Google Play, i just can't. I did it in both manners: first copying all the apks to the system/app folder and restart, but after that following the order provided in the kindle thread.
I experience some problems i've read also in other kindle threads: several apps stop working (for some reason, Viber, which i downloaded from aptoide), Google Services Framework stops working too, and as soon as i run the google play store, i get the "no net" error. I've done it also previously uninstalling all the google-related apps like maps and chrome. Still nothing.
Anyone can shed some light into what's happening? Thanks.
Hi all,
I've finally bought an Android phone after years of iOS use, but unfortunately it's a Chinese version and I can't get Google apps to work. I rooted the phone, and tried copying the apk files that I downloaded from apkmirror to the system/app folder using Root Explorer, but unfortunately that didn't work. I also used Google installer which seems to be used regularly in the Xiaomi community, but that didn't work either. Whatever I do, I keep on getting an error message saying "Unfortunately, Google Play services has stopped" over and over again. When I try to log in to the play store I get an error saying that the phone can't connect to the Google server.
I have absolutely no idea what else to try. Does anyone have any suggestions? Any help would be greatly appreciated!
EDIT: Not sure if it's relevant, but I am using Android version 4.4.4 and build number 14.4.A.0.108
Have you tried to flash GApps via recovery?
