I installed the GEL from the play store, but when I open it, it keeps saying I need to update Google Search, even though I've already got the latest version. I'm on CM11. Any suggestions?
EDIT: Side-loaded the APK instead of using the play store one, works fine now.

Will there be an option to change the launcher in future? Until now there is no "Launcher" option listed in "Settings" like on all the other CyanogenMod 11 devices! What exactly is the problem why the "Google Now Launcher" can't be installed via Google Play Store?
Thanks,

My phone was running fine on cm-10.1-20130415 then i updated to cm-10.1-20130420 and now i cant open play store. it just closes. any fixes? or just wait on a new build?
You may have to reset data on the playstore. I know I had to do that when I first got CM10.1 to load.
However, it seems Google just rolled out the "new" Play store, that may have something to do with it.

well it was running fine. and it was the newest version of play store on the 15 build. ill try and let you knowtho
I wiped the ROM clean and started over, and the new play store works fine.
I have a quick question for my fellow Verizon S6 Edge users.
I use the Amazon app quite a bit and when going in to actually use it for the first time today it didn't open. So, I went on the Google Play store to see if there was an update or something, and to my surprise I didn't see it in my list of installed apps?!?!? Went into my application manager and it's definitely installed. I went to uninstall it and reinstall and of course it was one of the preinstalled apps and can only be disabled... So, after disabling I go into the play store and search Amazon to find "Amazon Shopping" app and it was the only one there for the actual store. Now, is that a new app from Amazon??? The self titled "Amazon" app is no longer even on the app store, yet it sits installed on my phone but disabled.
Just wanted to know if the main Amazon app works for you guys, or if you now have to Amazon apps because the first no longer works. Trying to see if it's just me or not.
I've rebooted, but since it's a preinstalled app that's not working... I'm not sure what else I can do if it's something I'm doing wrong. Wiped data in the application manager, re-enabled all the amazon apps that were pre installed to see if that helped and nothing. Just think it's weird that it doesn't even show up when searching for it in the app store, just the "Amazon Shopping" app shows up.
Thanks in advance for any help!
Works fine for me, ive updated to current version and have purchased with it etc....

Hmm, weird. Well I went on APKMirror.com and got the latest Amazon apk and updated it that way and it worked, that app that is... it still didn't show up in my app store for updates and what not. Also, it seems that because I have android wear installed it's giving me the "Amazon Shopping" app. They both work the same but with one exception, the shopping version works with a smart watch with some sort of voice commands. Just didn't want both installed if they did the same thing, no need for wasted space.
Thanks!

I noticed when I opened Amazon for the first time on this phone it made me log in through the Amazon App Store, which was strange to me. After I logged in through the App Store, the regular Amazon App updated and then it worked.

The pre-installed Amazon app is the "complete" version which you can't get through Google Play store due to Google changing the rules last fall. See here http://www.androidpolice.com/2014/1...ay-store-because-of-its-appstore-integration/ But you can still get it directly from Amazon and still kept up to date by Amazon.
The only app in the Play store itself is shopping only, hence the name.
So I got this little msg display on my phone today. Been trying to listen to iHeartRadio and it kept disconnecting. After I rebooted my N6, a msg popped up saying I will need Google Play Services, which apparently is not installed on my phone, in order to continue using apps. I have it installed and up to date. Anyone else experience this?

I went to the play store but didn't see an option of how to upgrade to the latest. How else can I do this?

Thank you kind sir! I appreciate that.
Hello. I've just been given a Mate S from work but it's the Chinese version so no Google apps. What are my options? As it's from Huawei through work I'll call rooting plan b. There's no way to flash an International factory image without rooting right?
If you go to the Huawei App Store you can install Google Play Store from there.
I did this when i converted my phone to chinese version. Only problem I had was contacts wouldnt sync, but if you download GoogleContactSynch.apk (you'll have to google search for that) then contacts syncs work fine.
Yeah i did that and then tried to install the Google Launcher and disable as much bloat as i could. Google Launcher wouldn't work for some reason. Will give it another go tomorrow.

You need to change the standard launcher under Settings - Apps - Standard apps
You can download Google Contact Sync and Google Calendar Sync from Huawei App Store. Search for Google and click the banner on top to see all the Google apps
Already tried when i was playing about with it a few days ago. Google Launcher wasn't listed even though it's installed.
I've just switched it on again now and it detects it. :good:
Anybody else notice that Google Camera is missing from the Play Store? A Google search says this happened back in March, but should still be available to Nexus devices.
I'm not seeing it on my Nexus 6 running the TuPac lite 30D ROM. Curious if others can still see it.
did you change your dpi?(screen size)

Nope. Still at 560.
I think something may be screwy with my device on my Google account.
On the Play Store settings it shows as a Verizon Nexus 6 but it doesn't show at all on Android Device Manager nor the Android N beta sign up.

mine doesnt show on my device manager either(on my sgs4 the n6 shows up though, and i signed up for N. the odd thing is it does show up, if looking certain ways, but a search on thd play store app it doesnt show up here either. but.. if i go to the page of my installed google cam it shows up, or if i press a link on google via a search it shows up as well.
There was a discussion on the Google Camera missing from the Play Store here. In short, I believe they hid the app so it can update, but cannot be installed.

Strange. I only started noticing issues when I manually installed the first N beta. Don't remember if I signed up for the beta afterward or not but ran into these issues when going back to Marshmallow.

Makes sense, but if the app is installed, it should still appear in the Play Store, even if it's not available otherwise. If it weren't you wouldn't be able to update it, right? Curious about why they did this.
Google Play Services, which I reference in the other thread, cannot be searched for within the Play Store on device or PC. It automatically updates itself, and also does not appear in the list of installed apps. To find it on the Play Store on a PC, you have to know its package name (com.google.android.gms), perform a search for any other app, and replace that app's package name with the Google Play Services package name, in order to call it up.
Google Camera is easier to find. A search on the device won't pull up anything, but it does show up in the installed apps list on the Play Store. If you search on the PC, you'll find it there. You won't be able to install it however unless you have the right Nexus device (5X, 6, 6P, 9) and that Nexus device is apparently stock. Pure Nexus also shows the camera app as being incompatible, though we can install and use it without trouble.
As to why Google did this, I couldn't tell you. Unless it's in preparation for Android N. Currently I have the Android N camera app installed, but I had to get it from outside the Play Store.
I had this same issue. Thought it was just me
