Bought a z5 premium from ebay, works great, i have installed some basic apps like a browser( deleted chrome cuz it devours your ram) , vlc player, amazon etc... However i cannot install facebook, or messenger or the 2 lite versions. Google play says " can't install messenger, try again and if it still doesnt work see common ways to fix the problem"
I thought google play is drunk so i downloaded the apk from the web, and upon installation it says this: " app not installed the package conflicts with an existing package by the same name"
So in plain english that means it cannot be installed because it is already installed? Thats bull**** because i searched for the app in settings, even downloaded revo uninstaller to look for it. Only thing i found is 2 very small system apps. Both of them are called "Facebook App installed 18.4, however one is 75kb the other is 4mb.
Could these 2 cause the problem? Is it safe to delete them ? (they are under system apps, not user apps)
What could be the problem? I tried restarting, and cleaning cache of gplay, installing apk not working so what the hell is going on?
Flash rom with flashtool and select full wipe.

I am unable to install apps from the market. I can access the market and select the apps but all I get is starting downloads which doesn't change even if I leave for hours. I have WI-FI enabled and can access the web with no problems. Here is what I have tried already.
Clear Data in Downloader,
Clear Data and Cache in market
Factory reset
Flashed to CyanogenMod 7
and I still cannot download any apps.
If you have s-off you could try deleting the market.apk file and then reinstalling from a non market source? If you search xda I'm sure I remember several threads about this.
I had this problem a few times. Have you recently changed your Gmail (If you use Gmail) address from @googlemail to @gmail? This is what caused the problem for me and many others...

I never did work out what was causing the problem. I installed CyanogenMod 7 and all is work again.
Yea, sometimes just a reflash fixes the problem. I also found that, sometimes, the download would just finish but never actually install - almost as if the .apk downloaded but the Market Process just never actioned the new .apk to open, so it just sat in /cache until the next reboot, doing nothing.
log in to google talk...i think that should solve the issue.
Missing apps after Flashing my first rom
Hi
I did everything I was supposed to do, used CWM manually to wipe data/factory, went from jellybean 4.11 to CNA 3.6 and chose the gapps package without picassa + camera extras.
I used TBackup Pro (apps and data) and did a nandroid and saved my complete Sd card contents to my pc for safekeeping. Then I did the flashing
I thought gapps had ALL the google apps included...
Some apps did not reinstall like Google Play (music player) which was a system app and the play store says it isnt available in my country (canada). I never had the cloud feature as far as I know in the official JB rom, just the music player.
Other system type apps were probably different versions ie email client, clock, gallery, stock browser, currents, android keyboard, exchange services...anyway all of those have a line through them in TBackup.
Also,, I thought all my desktop layout/folders would be preserved like it did once before when I unlocked bootloader and rooted.
So... looking at Tbackup in the restore section it has restore all system data 73 instances..is that the same as app data? Is this the data/settings I restore for the apps?
I thought all my settings and stuff would/could be preserved, I even tried to pull it out of the nandroid via Tbackup.. sat there for an hour trying to restore 1 app (email) while the busy indicator kept swirling.
Seems like backing up apps is redundant as my google account restores them. I want the data /saved settings etc.
What am I missing here?..obviously it didnt go like the videos i watched.
And HOW the heck do I get the stock google music player back onto this install?
BTW this is a nice rom. no problems so far and very customizeable.

Use something like Market Enabler to spoof a U.S. carrier, and then download it.

As for your other issues, you need to read up on Titanium Backup.
1) You shouldn't restore system apps/data across different ROM versions;
2) You should only restore user app data when the app is the same version;
3) Yes, you are correct, you do not need to restore apps if you are going to download them from the Play Store.
Thx Efrant...well I was able to find and download 3 different versions of it and place on my sdcard, It launched but would not install...even when I was completely offline. I read in one thread where someone suggested putting it in /system/apps but I never saw any results in that thread regarding the suggestion.
I saw a few proxy type apps which seemed only to work with a browser.
I found market enabler...loaded it with T-Mobile info..cleared my play store cache, and was able to download...but got an unknown error -24 during install.
any suggestions?

Hi,
Today, I decided that I wanted more internal memory space so I ended up deleting and reinstalling Google Play, as the Convert To User App option within Link2SD didn't work as it said something about can't finding Certificates; something like that.
Anyway so now when I go to install an application, it simply crashes and doesn't work. It loads fine; just doesn't download anything.
I've tried clearing Data & Cache for both the Google Play Application and the Download Manager Application.
Any ideas?
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!)
I am trying to install a app from playstore multiple times but the problem is that "i don't want to delete the app". Is there any option to install a app without deleting the one.
Example - In redmi y2 mobile phones you have a option for second space where we can install the app again from playstore without deleting app which in first space.
The same thing i needed but i need a function like multiple space where i have multiple spaces.
Please help me
you can use multi space, or island. i prefer island as it just an tab in my launcher ( as work space)

Just Google whatever app you want with ".apk" at the end, so
For example Google Maps, search "Google Maps .apk"
Then download that file, you'll have the actual file or .apk (Android app) and can install as many times as you want.
Or you can search APK Mirror or UpToDown for your app, but essentially it's the same thing, you're downloading the .apk. These 2 are sources for it, Google is just a much bigger source. You'll want make sure the version you want is noted, you'll wanna DL the right one.
