Old market app is a lot faster than the play store. But the method to restore old market for gb or cm7 ROMs DOESN'T WORKS for the ICS OR JellyBean. The apps gets downloaded in data/data/com.android.providers.download/caches but don't INSTALLS automatically.
Please provide any method to run the old android market on ICS/JB
THANKS •JB • XD/\PP

Googled b4 posting, but the problem is Apps are not being installed.
Steps that i perform:
1. Delete Google play apk, then Reboot
2. Copy the 'market.apk' & 'update.apk' to system/app, then Reboot
3. Download an app from Market.
4. But the app doesn't installs
After searching in system, the app(which gets downloaded but doesn't install) was lying there as 'download.apk' in /data/data/com.android.providers.downloads/cache
Also when the apps is downloading is notified in notification bar, but not in market. I.e there's no status of the app being downloading in market app
I tried my best for the problem to be extremely clear.

download market v2.3.6.apk
download zipsigner.apk

then push it to system/app

I didn't need to do all that process of zip signing.(may be it will be required in future if any problem persists )
And for the Play store issue, I freezed/disabled the update.apk
Well it won't update my apps but this resolves the issue of play store.

is it force closing while showing content or not
Hey all,
I started futzing with Play Services and the Store and Search in an attempt to fix the nlpWakelock battery usage issue I'd been having on my Moto X, and I can't seem to get it all working again. I can launch the Play Store, but when I attempt to download an app (or update), it crashes (Unfortunately, Play Store has stopped)
I did some noodling around on various forums here and have tried:
wiping data/cache on Store, Download Manager, and Services
uninstalling Store, uninstalling Play Services, and sideloading them both (Store and Services).
removing and re-adding my google account, even trying to download an app with a different acct crashed it.
converting Play Store to a system app in TiBu, no dice.
Moto X
4.4 Rooted
Play Store v: 4.5.10
Play Services v:4.2.43
edit: Download Manager v: 4.4-5
I was going to uninstall the store and look for the apk for the previous version and attempt to install that to see if it'll work..
any ideas?
worst case scenario I can do a TiBu backup and factory reset, but my question there is... will I need to re-root 4.4? (probably, right?)
thanks all!
josh
Alright so I used TiBU to removed Download Manager and Downloads... and now the Play Store doesn't crash, if I try to Download something it just hangs on "downloading" and never starts... I grabbed two APKs from this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-4/help/request-download-service-apk-to-fix-t2421314
and used root explorer to move them into sys/app and install.. DownloadProvider.apk and DownloadProviderUI.apk ... but I can't seem to get them to install.
any ideas?
thanks!
josh
Thanks for publishing it even it help me to know about download manager..
Does anyone have any issues with certain apps from the play store that just crash when opened? Apps like IMDB, google Inbox, Google contacts just crash when they are opened. Why is that? I am running the google now launcher with typical root, play store setup etc.
yes I had an issue downloading facebook messenger app.. it crashed.. I downloaded it for Amazon store and it worked perfectly from there.. I am sadly using 5.1.1.. with Play Store installed via adb..
Inbox is a known problem, was mentioned on threads about installing the play store.
Google contacts works on mine though, though maybe I installed it through gapps.

Yes I used RootJunky's ADB zipfile.. and no I haven't faced an issue where I can't log into Play Store.. are you sure that you updated the play services? you can do that by installing any google app like youtube and run it and it will tell you to update play services.. and make sure you are running that latest version of Play Store which is 6.0.5 at the time I am posting this comment
Meh

Well thats the problem I am having, I can't update services because that runs through the Play store, and I can't log into the play store so I can't update. I am getting the message about the services being outdated but I can't do anything as it just redirects me to the failed play login. I have no idea what version of Play store this is, its just whatever was pushed via the zip file. I am going to do a factory reset and try again.
For the record, did you do this on 5.1.1. or did you do this on 5.0.1 and then update?

I updated via OTA to 5.1.1 then installed play store via adb.. I suggest that you uninstall all the four apps of google that the zip file installed which are Google Play Services.. Google Services Framework.. Google Accounts.. and Google Play Store.. then install them again via the same adb then reboot.. that's what I did actually.. I hope this will help..
Woooot

Wow, not sure why that worked, but uninstalled and pushed via ADB again and wha-la! Now I can at least use this tablet the way I want until someone comes up with a root solution.
Thanks!:highfive:

Someone in another thread told me to try the Amazon app store version of IMDb if I was using the stock rom. I tried it and it works perfectly. I did have to unistall the Google version before the Amazon one would install. It's worth a try with some of the other apps to see if it works for them too.
I'm running Fireos 5.01
Rooted with google play services installed.
I have removed all the bloat suggested and don't intend to use any amazon apps.
In any case, the two problems i have are slightly strange.
1. I can't seem to install any .apk that doesn't come from google play store (I have Dev options opened an unknown sources checked)
2 I Can't add any widgets to my Home screen, when i try the widgets just disappear.
None of these two problems are show stoppers for me and I have all the removed .apks uploaded to mega in case i find i need any of them.
Has anyone else seen this?

To get widgets to work, I had to make my launcher (Apex) a system app. I tried titanium backup first, but it seemed to have trouble doing it. I finally downloaded an app called /system/app mover from Google play store and it worked. I can add widgets now.
Thanks for the information s14sh3r.
Sorry for the late reply
However I already had Titanium backup installed so i thought i would try to see if i have the same problem with TB as you.. sure i did it hang then locked me out of the launcher a reboot brought it back.
So i headed over to the market and picked up system app mover and run that after installing busybox.
Funny thing was, it was already marked as a system app... errr I guess TB almost made it happen any idea's i do have another launcher available also i have a pro copy of Apex so would i need to make the pro key and the widgets app, a system app.
Update
I got it working by getting "system app mover" to move the app back to where is was, I rebooted then i made it a system app once again,
Rebooted and selected "Apex launcher" and Bingo!
I have access to widgets again
Thanks for your help s14sh3r.

Happy to hear you gt it working. One thing I've noticed is I seem to have to reboot more to get thinhs to work. Considering how cheap the tablet is, I can live with that :laugh:
I have a problem with Instagram after I installed latest CyanogenMod rom.
From the Play store it's written: " Your device is not compatible with this version" (it's translated from italian,not really sure if it's 100% right ).
Before I rooted my device in order to install Cyano rom,I had the original firmware with Play store installed and Instagram was not only avaiable but worked smoothly.
Any idea of how to fix it?
BTW...I tried to get back to the original firmware following the related tutorial but there's no way to make the device "visible"to the pc via usb through the embedded recovery mode (quite strange because I can flash without problem TWRP recovery using adb tool by cmd line).
So...I'm in trouble even if I want to get back to the original firmware...any help will be (again) really welcome .
Thanks in advance.
Mostly the advice is the same sideload the app if play store won't let it install.
You can use this to go back to stock http://forum.xda-developers.com/amazon-fire/general/howto-install-fireos-5-1-1-root-gapps-t3265594
If you do go back to 5.0.1 in TWRP by renaming the 5.0.1 bin to end .zip remember to stay offline until you've turned OTA off unless you don't want TWRP any more.
Thanks a lot for your advice...I I'll try it later ?.
Well,finally I fixed it simply downloading the apps in .apk files into the device and installing them directly from it,easier than I thought .
Thanks a lot for helping me.
Hi. I have this device since last Saturday. I was trying today to see if I can install Google apps, because I like stock feeling of android. Now I won't keep them, because without root I can't freeze system apps, and so I would have 2 galleries, 2 message apps etc running in background.
I tried many of them, but when I tried Google phone play store says my device is not compatible.
So I tried to download the APK (arm64) but I can't install it.
Is there a way to bypass this limitation and, why the hell I can't install such an important Google app?!
You must root your smartphone with magisk then you must download Google framework install It and then download Google dialer apk not from Google play store. I have not problem and use It by default phone app
Hello, I just found out how to add google account if you accidentally delete it, you can also delete the updated google play services to install version 21.24.57. You can also uninstall google services framework and install on old version.
Tried with phone version 12.0.0.276.
Don't delete google play services, framework services before open the Private Space.
1.Go to settings and enable Private Space. Once it's activated and you're already in Private Space, go into settings/apps and you'll see that play services, google services framework and google account manager are there.
2.Uninstall them from there . 3.Download micro g huawei fix eloy gomez tv.apk, install it.
4.Exit private space uninstall Google play services and services framework from settings.
5..Try to install google play services 21.24.57, you will have a notification that a new version is installed and a window will appear with two options, select open. The micro g app will open and a shortcut will be created on the home page. Go to settings and wipe the data and cache of the micro g app. Then open it from the home screen. Sign in to your Google account and you already have a Google account on your phone.
6.Install google account manager to save the account
6.Uninstall micro g and you are done.
You can install any version of google play services and google services framework you want because they are already removed from the phone.
