To this forum and those that work hard I first want to say thank you very much. From rooting my Droid 1 and now my Droid 2 I came to find this site and love it.
I now have a Gtablet and followed the detailed directions for rooting. I installed Vegan 5.1 and loving my tablet. Followed the market fix and was just wondering will all the apps in the market show up? When I go to the market only certain apps show up. I have done the market fix 3 times and still the same apps.
I was able to get most of the apps to show up - Launcher Pro, Titanium Backup, Dolphin HD and a lot more. Some would only show up for me before the market fix - Firefox, Samurai 2, Vendetta Online, and some other Tegra games. I didn't look before I did the fix but I can't find Google Earth after the fix either.
I personally tried doing the Titanium Backup market fix as well as the one by clearing market cache and google services framework manually, stopping both, etc. - neither helped no matter how many times I did them to get any more apps to show up.
Not sure if anyone can help get more apps to show up on the market regularly like Firefox and Samurai 2.
I've installed the following in order... OnetimeInitializer, Setup Wizard, Google Services Framework, then Vending. Then I saw that it wasn't updating so I tried many times getting the Marketupdater.apk but every single time it told me that it had a parsing error. (I don't even know what parse it) and so here I am. I am using an Elocity A7+. It is running Android 2.2 and so is ElocityPlusMod and that GooglePlayStore works perfectly (also runs 2.2). So can anyone give me a step by step to getting the marketupdater or just Google Play Store? Thanks
Hello,
i just upgrade my Nexus S to Jelly Bean a couple of days ago and found that it contains a lot of Google apps i never use (Currents for example). I started doing what i did with previous Android versions: remove the apks from /system/app.
So far i have removed Currents.apk and EmailGoogle.apk (i only use Gmail). The system works nicely without that.
I think that Google Earth, Movie Studio and Play Books can be removed safely. You can install some of them later through Google Play.
Anyone tried to remove that also?
Anyone tried to remove Browser?
Regards,
Massimiliano

Actually I don't remove them, I just disable them so they wont appear on my drawer.
+1. Just freeze them. If something goes haywire, at least the application is still available to defrost on the phone.
Here's one of the apps you can use to freeze system app: App Quarantine
I removed(renamed) books, currents, partnersetup, googlefeedback, Googleplus, exchange the market with froyo market, Facelock, googlenow (Cool, but takes some RAM), talk, nfc, tag, launcher(I have another one), latinime (I use another keyboard)
I always do this, no problems what so ever, my only goal is to reduce RAM
I disabled google+.
Hi everyone, I was wanting to know what all the different components of Google are on Gingerbread 2.3.4 (LG Enlighten vs700 phone). I ask because Google Play Store doesn't work. It keeps prompting me, "Sorry! The application google play store (process com.android.vending) has stopped unexpectedly. please try again. force close is the only option when i get this message, and it does reappear.
I have spent weeks on this - there are hundreds maybe even thousands of forums out there all devoted to this error. Seems like a huge volume of phones experience this error. There are a few fixes, but it only seems to work for a handful of people who have this problem.
What have I tried?
Factory reset (several times)
Reinstalling google play store, services, and market with the latest or a different version than what's on there now
youtube fix - I even reinstalled youtube
at this point, i did another factory reset last night just to start over with a clean slate - youtube works wonderfully. i have email on it. as a work around i use the amazon app store and 1 market store for apps, but it's a real bother with no google play and constantly getting the errors.
the strange part is i have a second identical phone (which is my experimental phone) - which does NOT get this error. I have no idea why one does, and the other doesn't.
the reason i was wondering about the components and versioning is as a last attempt to fix this (before i just live with it) - i was going to reinstall ALL the components google uses for the playstore to work, manually. i don't necessarily want to install the latest - i want to install the version specific to gingerbread 2.3.4. i have looked and looked online but i haven't been able to find any kind of component list (much to my surprise) the two components i have figured out are:
google play services 4.3.24 (android 2.3+)
google play 3.5.15 (android 2.3+)
We have a survey GPS at work that runs android on the data collector handheld. Android has been customized by the manufacturer and none of the google apps or much else are on there except their software. I tried copying apk files for google play and some other programs and installing them from download folder but after installing them they either open and immediately close or say they require google play services. The unit is running 4.4.2. Is there a way i can get google play to work on this so i can install some other apps? Thanks
