Have you flashed a custom ROM lately and then suddently your Play Store is force closing now? What a pain in the ass, right?
Well, it's not that difficult to fix it, actually it is very simple. Here is how to do it:
You need to go down to SETTINGS>APPLICATIONS>MANAGE APPLICATIONS and in the tab ALL you search the application named GOOGLE PLAY STORE.
Inside it you click the button CLEAR DATA and that's it, you are ready to go and download/update your app now.
Hope it helped.

Every time I flash a new ROM after wiping, the Market application tries to download tons of apps that I've had in the past (some were uninstalled long ago).
I dont want ANY download to be done automatically, since I'm using Titanium Backup to restore the apps that I need, and the huge amount of downloads from the market just messes up my phone, and forces me to cancel every download manually, and uninstall those that I couldnt cancel on time...
I understand that some people need this feature, for me its the exact opposite...
Is there a way to manage/clear these apps from my google account?
Is there a way to force google not to save these apps for me?
Many thanks in advance!

Under settings -> Privacy you have the option to back up your data and do automatic restore when apps are reinstalled. Disable those and it should remove the settings.
skip the initial configuration. this will essentially stop google from downloading ur previous apps.
after that, setup ur google acct via gmail or the market app.
hope this helps.
thanks! will give it a shot right now

By the way, you can skip the entire initial setup menu by tapping in the top-left, top-right, bottom-right, and bottom-left corners on the screen that says to touch the Android to begin.

+1. If you skip the config and log in later, it won't try to restore apps.
I am running stock 2.2 and I was removing the AT&T bloatware usting TiBa. Was only able to remove AT&T Navigator and AT&T Radio before the TiBa was no longer able to find the following apk files for some reason.
# AT&T Maps
# AT&T Music
# AT&T Mobile Hotspots
# Mobile Banking
# Mobile Video
Then all of a sudden the phone started giving me a message that:
LogsProvider has stopped unexpectedly and needs to resart and makes me force close but is in a constant loop along with TwLauncher. When I click Force close it closes the boxes but the screen stays black. I cannot see anything unless I hit the power button to lock the screen but it keeps popping up these stupid messages. What is wrong and how do I remedy it? Please someone help.
Now it is also saying Messaging, Daily Briefing, Google Services Framework and Calender is needing to force close.
you removed something you shouldnt have. and unless you can list everything you removed for us... you are going to have to flash to stock~! learning is fun!
The 2 bloatware apps listed are the only things removed. It may seem like stock is my only option here because the phone isn't letting me even access my applications menu to access TiBu to try and restore stuff.
Sounds like another deleted launcher. Use the search key on your phone to look up apps on your phone. Try searching for market and launching it from the search box, then look for launcherpro and install it. If not just use the search key to open TiBu and open it from there lol

It's basically locked in a force close loop. Bottom buttons won't respond. I take it I will end up using Odin3 to fix this whole mess? I just read up on it and seems like that is my option.
That'd be my last resort, but it seems that's where you're at.
I chock this up as a learning experience. LOL Is there a safer way to remove the bloatware without possible deleting needed files?

If you insist on keeping the stock ROM, I would recommend SGS Tools. It's capable of removing stock apps

I am having an issue/annoyance with updating apps through the new google play apk; it seems that since updating to the new apk, my apps no longer update simultaneously. Previously on the original android market, I could have multiple apps downloading/updating at the same time with no problem, however now that I have gone to Google Play, they will only download/update one at a time. Is there a way to fix this problem?
Thanks
You may want to try going to settings - applications, then looking for the Play Store app. Open its listing, and choose "clear data". Then go back and open the store again. It should correct itself and allow multi-updating.
r u into gruppen kex? Why do u need to simultaneously download apps? Give that single core CPU a rest!

In that same place, try uninstalling updates and letting google play pick up the updates again. That may help.
Is there a way to load "play store" into your cm10 rom, rooted Exhibit 4g WITHOUT preloaded apps? i feel really stupid asking this, am i just missing the icon or do you have to download a JB app file to restore "play store" ? i just would prefer to have play store without loading apps i never use.
I only understand enough to follow instructions, i am no tech wizard. i was able to root my phone, install clockwork mod and cm10. i have tried more roms than i can count. other than missing the tmobile wifi calling app, i am happy. i just would really love to get a bare bones jbapp file. its seems odd to me as much as the developers enjoy getting rid of bloatware, they turn right around and load up bloat in their own app files.
am i saying this right? is what i am asking make sense?
Are you talking about other gapps like google currents, drive, etc? If so, I believe that if you don't install gapps, the only thing that you get is the Play Store apps. Can anyone else confirm this?
Play store usually comes bundled with other google apps but you can get rid of any app you want with titanium backup.

yes, the "gapps" that you have to download after a rom install. i would not mind any google apps that come with it. just seems like all the gapps i download here have crap i never use and or dont understand.
i must be misunderstanding this, i cant be the only person wanting this.
Any examples of things you would never use? Also, you could just uninstall them after if you don't want them.

I had some app updates today so started them going but after a couple it crashed and since then I haven't been able to open the Play Store. Even after clearing the dalvik-cache and rebooting, I get popups saying it's crashed as soon as it finishes booting and if I try to open it, so I've got no way of getting into it.
Anyone know how to fix this rather major problem?
I thought this had fixed itself for a minute, as I was able to open Play Store and start updating apps but it crashed again after doing three and gives the same error when trying to open it again.
It keeps doing it. Once a day I try it and it lets me update a couple of apps before crashing and after that I keep getting popups telling my it's crashed at random times, like when starting Boom Beach.
Please help me fix it if you can as it's making my Moto G unusable and I haven't got a clue what to do myself, as the only thing I did before it started was let Play Store update my apps.
Go to settings apps all and uninstall google play store updates. Reboot phone and then try play store again.

That has stopped it constantly crashing thanks. Unfortunately, it's now not displaying anything under Installed, where it would normally shows the apps needing updates. All still shows everything as far as I can tell. Ah, I seem to have fixed it by triggering an app to update under All and now Installed shows stuff. And now it's crashed again!
After re-opening it, it was still downloading and managed to do a few more updates, albeit stalling a few times, before crashing again and now I can't re-open it at all.
EDIT: I tried deleting the cache for Google Play, which didn't help and then the Data, which has got it working again. Installed is blank again and after triggering an app to update from All only shows that app under Installed but as long as it populates when there's updates available that's fine. However, now it's crashing again so it seems that doing that wasn't the answer.
It turned out to be Obb 2 SD causing the problem. Play Store would update a couple of apps but when it tried to update a game which I'd moved with Obb 2 SD and would crash and couldn't be re-started. Once I disabled Obb 2 SD it fixed the problem. I just need to work out another way to move my large game files, might try Link2SD as that apparently handles moving Obb files now.
