[Q] Offical Google Play Store App Download - General Questions and Answers

Hello,
does someone know if there is an official place where I can get the Google Play Store app?
I had the problem today, that I installed a new rom and there was no Play Store to load my apps.
Best regards,
Manuel

you have to flash gapps for your ROM, just installing the play store isn't enough as you will be left without google accounts

Additionally you'll have to install gapps for your specific android OS. There are gapps that are ICS specific, JB specific, etc.

Google Talk and ICS Roms?

Hi - thanks to you all here I solved my previous issue - now I have a question hopefully you'll have the answer to.
I tried to find the google talk app - the one that lets you chat with your google contacts - but it's not in the ROM I'm using (CM9.01):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1730954
Now I googled a bit and found some "inverted apps" that had all the google apps - so I tried to install it and no luck - It works but I can't chat with it - it shows my contacts and then I can type - but they don't receive the message and I don't receive theirs.
Is there an app or a tweak or a mod or a whatever that fixes this?
Cheers in advance guys!
Did you look I'm google play?l
I thought Talk was part of gapps. I am using FB's AOKP milestone 6, build 4 ROM, and I don't remember installing Talk individually. I use this almost exclusively to chat with one of my contacts all the time.

I did the additional install so that I could install the Google Play on the device - but no google talk was present.

I searched the Google Play store to see if it was downloadable and I couldn't locate it.
Any ideas guys?
Talk is in gapps.

That's the same gapps file I flashed, so you should have it. Maybe doing all the clears and re flashing gapps.

Google Search Won't Update

I'm running BAKED 11/20 and Google Search won't update
Error
Package file was not signed correctly. Uninstall the previous copy of the app and try again.
Any suggestions?
Also I installed Baked Inverted Gapps 10/26, then dirty flashed Gapps 10/11. Not sure if this is relevant to the issue.
Me too

Fixed. Downloaded the newest Baked Google now update, installed. Then uninstalled the update. And updated Google Search from the play store.

You can also install JusTunBean. His inverted gapps are updatable.

Google Now

Has anyone got Google Now running on the RAZR i on 4.04?
I have tried various methods including that new gnow installer but no luck, I know my busy box is not running properly but I can't get it to install properly with init.d but I have read a few people have had these issues?
Any luck??

i have it running without voice....forget about that
google now
This apk here works but you will not get all the latest updates as google now is for jelly bean and voice search wont work but I'm trying a work around for that.
to install this first make a copy of the google search in system app and place it some where
On you're sdcard then using a root tool delete google search in system app then reboot phone
Before you install this version if you don't it won't work enjoy
Thanks so much!

[Q] what is gapps.zip, and where do i find it/them?

just rooted my optimus V and installed CWM, went ahead to try and install I.H.O CyanogenMod 7 ROM, but it asks that after i flash the rom i have to flash gapps.
sooooo, what is gapps.zip, and where can i get it/them?
gapps is a container for the Google apps such as Google maps, Google mail, Google talk, etc. they are usually provided on the thread where you get the rom
This post has it. Sorry couldn't provide external link.
