I have a Samsung Galaxy Ace S5380i running on android 2.3.6. I have already rooted my mobile and transferred most of the applications on SD card to clear some internal space. I actually also deleted Google Play services, Google Play Books and Gmail as I am not using them. All other apps I re-installed such as Google Maps are OK apart from Google Play Store. It was initially showing No connection Retry.
I tried some methods posted on the website but nothing works. I tried clearing data and force-stopping the app, then reboot but after a while the app crashed when I tried downloading an application. I got this message: "The application Google Play Store (process com.android.vending) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again"
I wiped also cache through the system reboot but I had the same problem but also sth strange happened, Google Play Books app re-appeared in my menu.
I tried also deleting hosts.txt from \system\etc folder and even editing it as suggested (There was only one line on my hosts.txt: 127.0.0.1 localhost):
127.0.0.1 localhost
#74.125.93.113 android.clients.google.com
but I had the same problem after a while.
I finally tried changing my Google account password and this helped only for a little bit as I got the same message. I get this message even when I am trying to download an app from the web version of Google play.
Can somebody help me please? Any ideas?

Play Store needs the Google Play services (GMS) & Google Services Framework (GSF)!
You deleted them, so its your own fault.
Reinstall Play Services should fix it.
restore stock rom using odin and dont delete the files madron said and you should be good to go!
Problem solved

I didn't uninstall GSF, just GPS. However I found the solution to my problem. I downloaded GAPPS and flashed them, thus removed previous installation of Google Play Store and the rest of gapps. Immediately after rebooting my mobile, it started looking for updates. I uninstalled again the Google Play Services and everything works fine just to free some more space. The only difference is now that Google Play Store is installed in the internal phone memory and I don't intend to move it to the SD card again.

TIP: if you struggle with memory problem then you can move some essential apps like Google Play Store, G Maps, YouTube etc.
Just when you update an app from Play Store, lets say you update G Maps, you got 2 Google Maps in your device that lack your memory.
The first one Google Maps is in your system by the Rom and the second one is in your Root "Data/App/" (which is your Internal Memory).
So I suggest you to move all essential apps from Data/App to System/App and remove old apps which are outdated in your system. After that reboot and enjoy with your free memory.
Whatsapp will not work on my galaxy ace, it is in a perpetual loop asking if it can backup to google drive via my gmail account. I repeatedly answer yes, but then it asks me to install Google Play Store. I thought GPS was installed - checked applications and yes it is. I try to "skip" this step as this is an option, but just go round in a perpetual loop with whatsapp. I have uninstalled and reinstalled whatsapp - several times now for it to repeatedly ask for me to install Google Play Store. In desperation, I have just uninstalled GPS, and am now trying to re-install it.
I keep getting messages that "this browser is no longer supported" and a link to "Google Play Store app" which fails and connection times out every single time. What do I do? (Step by step instructions required!)

any thoughts ???plz help
As far I know, any Google Play and Google Play Services update released in 2017 and beyond probably won't work the A100. I speculate, this is due to Google stopping their support for CPU without the NEON instruction set.
Requirement:
Root Access
A root file explorer
Instruction:
1. Turn off Wifi to prevent auto-update when reverting back to the factory version
2. Go into the Settings => Select Apps => Find Google Play Services and Google Play Store => Uninstall Updates to restore to factory version
3. Download the latest APKs that works
Google Play Store 7.4.25
Google Play Services 10.0.84
4. Using a root file explorer, go into data/app and create two folders called com.google.android.gms-1.apk and com.google.android.gms-2.apk. DO NOT overwrite any existing file. Do the same for Google Play Store - com.android.vending. This process will trick Android into thinking there is no room to place the updated APKs.
5. Turn on Wifi.
Hope this helps out.
My Google play store will not open it only shows the opening splash screen. I have tried Clearing the cache and the data in both play store and play services to no avail. Also tried disabling, rebooting, etc...
I did get the play store to load in safe mode however it wouldn't download any of the updates it was just stuck at download pending.
My device is op7t tmobile version hd 1907
Go to Google Play Store in Apps and uninstall updates (3 dots at upper right), restart phone, try the play store again.
