[Q] How to install the "Play Store App" on CM9

Hi,
I just got CyanogenMod 9 running on my Galaxy S Plus (i9001).
But there is no Play-Sore app on the screen ....
Thanks .....

You have to flash Gapps...its in the CM9 threads. Gapps are all of your google applications. CM can't include them in the ROM due to licensing issues.

Where you able to sign into your Google account? If you did and still no good then try searching Google and manually pushing the apk with root explorer or a similar app

I tried to install all 4 version ....
with Root Explorer, checked permissions, rebooted ... and so on.
Every time I start the app it stops immediately ....
I logged in into my gmail account, that did work
Any other Help ? Thanks

Did you download the version of GAPPS made for ICS? (should have -ICS somewhere in the filename)
The gapps site lists dozens of versions, for various phones and roms.

Definitely didn't use the right Gapps...Gmail isn't included in the new gapps
Here you go.

Google play is not included in Android 4 / CM 9.
To install Google play, you need to download the google play apk from http://www.theandroidsoul.com/download-google-play-apk-3-5-19/
Scenario 1: file managers is already installed.
Then transfer the apk to SD card and use the file manager to install google play apk.
Scenario 2: There is no file manager.
Install Android SDK or the ADB driver.

[Q][CM10]Cannot install Maps-based Apps

Hi there!
I bought Runtastic PRO when I was using my Sensation with its stock ROM.
Recently I started rooting and flashing my HTC Sensation with this ROM: CM10. (The version from 19th of Oct. 2012)
The rooting was done via HTCdev.com, the Sensation is S-OFF.
Actually, I am using CWM 6.0.0.0, I wiped the cache, data and so on, cleared the Dalvik cache.
The problem, that arises is, that I am unable to (re-)install Runtastic PRO:
The market says the app is now incompatible with my device.
I changed the build.prop so it stated Nexus S, cleared the Store cache before and afterwards, rebooted.
adb install run.apk gives these entries in logcat:
Code:
E/PackageManager( 346): Package com.runtastic.android.pro2 requires unavailable shared library com.google.android.maps; failing!
W/PackageManager( 346): Package couldn't be installed in /data/app/com.runtastic.android.pro2-1.apk
I was looking around the internet and also here and the solution I found was to put two files from the gapps zips directly into /system:
com.google.android.maps.jar => /system/framework/
com.google.android.maps.xml => /system/etc/permissions/
Afterwards, I fixed the permissions and rebooted the device.
I tried copying the apk directly to /system/app/, fixed permissions and rebooted again, but the App does not show up at all.
Is this a ROM-based problem, a App-based problem or is it my fault?
Surely it's the last one...
Thanks in advance,

The app itself might not be compatible with Jelly Bean. All that other stuff you did shouldn't be necessary.
If installing the APK by itself (not through the Play Store) doesn't let it run, then Android Version incompatibility would be my guess. But it's just a guess without knowing anything about that app.

[Q] How to manually install - getting "App not installed." error

I am trying to install an App which for some reason will not install in the country I am visiting. The App is a free App, but Google Play has blocked it from downloading into this country. I managed to download the app from the evozi apk-downloader but when I click on it in File Manager it will not install and I get an "App will not install." error.
I would like to try and install the app manually but despite all my searching have not been able to come up with a way to do this. I tried copying the apk file to the system/app directory and rebooted, but that did not work. I then downloaded ZipSigner to sign the apk file and put the created opex file in the system/app folder and rebooted again, but still no results. I've tried some other installers but still unable to get it to install, even when I am offline with my GPS off.
How can I manually install an app to bypass the Google app installer?

did you enabled allow installation of apps from sources other than Play store if not go settings> Security> tick unkown sources and try it again it will surely help..and use the file browser from the phone and find the apk that you want to install n click on it and install
hit thanks button if helped

The app I want to install is FlightAware - I travel a lot, hence my desire to install this app before I return to the USA. I found that the ShopSavvy apk also has this problem. Both of these are freeware but somehow they won't install on my phone. My Google account was created in the USA with a USA address and has a USA credit card attached to Google Wallet, but with both apps I just get a "App not installed." error.
I already have the Unknown Sources - Allow installation of Apps from unknown sources Checked and the Verify Apps - Disallow or warn before installation of apps that may cause harm - Unchecked.

hmm then you sure those apks work correctly sometimes errors occur when its incorrectly or incompletely tampered.. or else try this go to settings> application manager>google play store and clear data and clear cache and do the same in google play services and try again

No, that did not work. I am really looking for a more technical solution to explain how to manually install an opp. Is this not possible in Android?

I am assuming your phone is rooted. If not, then it will be better to root it before going further.

[Q] Chrome corrupted, disappeared, and now won't reinstall

After several programs updated, the chrome icon changed to the generic android icon and the program would no longer start.
It doesn't show up in my apps list or in the package list returned by the adb shell.
Reinstallation from the play store fails with error -110.
Logcat shows me this error
Code:
W/PackageManager( 974): Trying to update system app code path from /data/app/com.android.chrome-2.apk to /data/app/com.android.chrome-1.apk
E/installd( 276): couldn't symlink directory '/data/data/com.android.chrome/lib' -> '/data/app-lib/com.android.chrome-1': File exists
W/PackageManager( 974): Failed linking native library dir (user=0)
W/PackageManager( 974): Package couldn't be installed in /data/app/com.android.chrome-1.apk
I know what this means (I think), but I haven't been able to find out what to do about it.
I'm using an unrooted Moto G with Kitkat 4.4.2 Build number KXB20.9-1.8-1.4
I'd like to make restoring the phone to factory defaults a very last resort.

Try doing a search in file manager and deleting all of the instances of Chrome, and then re-download from the play store.

Chrome is a system app and, unless there's another way, I don't have access to the particular folder stated in the logfile to delete the offending file.
