Hi everyone,
Well, I accidentally uninstalled play store using Titanium backup (my bad...). I've restored it again, but whenever I tried to download or update new apps, the play store always force closed. I've done some possible solutions , like wiping play store and play services and removing Google account, except factory reset. FYI, I'm still using Sony stock rom (.108)
Is it because I uninstalled a system app from an odexed rom? Is there any other way to solve this?
Thank you for any further help
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?
Like a newb a downloaded the newest version of play services, thought it was the play store. Needless to say my phone's acting up. Tried reverting to the pre-installed version with no luck. I don't want to do a reset just yet. Can someone possibly pull the services apk for me? Or at least tell me what version our phone's run?
Thanks so much!
Hi, any help would be greatly appreciated.
I decided to update Google Play Services on my G4 (android 6, stock rom) and since then, all Google apps (gmail, google keep, google play store,...) keep crashing.
I downloaded Google Play Services 8.7.03 on apkmirror and I chose the variant 440 (arm64 + arm, android 6.0+ and nodpi)
I can't deactivate or uninstall Google Play Services and I wish there is another option than restoring the entire phone...
Try a few different versions of Play Services?
Hi, thanks for your answer.
I've called a friend who also has a G4 (android 6) and asked him what is his version of Google Play Services. He has the 8.7.03 (variant: 440), the exact version I manually installed.
I saw on forums that I could try to delete my google accounts (which I did, but Google apps are still crashing and now I have a notification telling me I have to link the phone to a gmail account, but I can because Google Play Services crashes all the time).
I also tried to reboot, clear the app's data, uninstall all updates and reinstall the right version,... but still crashing.
I'll try one last time everything I've already tried and if it doesn't work, I'm afraid I'll have to reset to factory settings...
Can you just reflash the system partition and not touch user data? I think that might work.

Reflash? Do I need root for that? My phone is not rooted (but I was just wondering if there is a way to root the G4 under android 6 without touvhing the bootloader)
Update: I reset to factory settings, now I have to get everything back on the phone.
One advice: never manually install Google Play Services, I've read loads of people commenting that they had the same kind of trouble.
Even if you install the right version (the version I manually installed was the exact same than my friends')
Hello, I have a nexus 7 2013 with the good ol ghost touch screen issues. Various hardware fixes did not help. Anyway, I read some had this problem after 5.01 update. So, I used nexus root tool to downgrade to 4.4.3 version. I keep getting errors Google play has stopped. I have cleared cache and data in Google play store, service's and framework. Didn't not help. Removing account and reinstalling doesn't help. Some say to uninstall google play store and google play services but i see no option for that in settings. Tried NRT kit to install google play store apk. Installed es file manager. When i try and run the APK, i get read errors from es file manager or app not installed error. If i try and download APK directly, i get errors No SD Card. I tried to do an adb sideload and it fails. Does anyone have an idea on how i can get around this and manually install google play apk or just fix the google play has stopped error? I would love to be able to load my apps via google play. Ive been banging my head for days searching for help and tried dozens of so called fixes. Please help if you can. Thank you!
