[Q] Help, No Play Store Installed - Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hope someone out there can help this noob out.
I have a Galaxy Tab GT-p5110. Yesterday I rooted it, installed Titanium Backup and did a full backup.
I then installed CWM and managed to install cm-10.1.3 and a package of gapps.
Very happy so far to get all the bloatware off the unit but there is no play store in the gapps package.
I cant install any apps, I have tried to do this via the browser. it says installing etc but the app never appears.
when I try to update the rom via settings/about phone CyanogenMod Updates it downloads the new ROM and reboots but then aborts the install. When I try to install a gapps package it says it cant verify the signature file.
I guess the main fault is the lack of Play Store, without it you cant do anything.
I have Odin and cant find a file .md5 or tar file to install.
Edit: I have since found i can drop the Play Store .apk file and install it from the sd card, this process worked but when i try to open Play Store, it opens momentarily, then closes......
Any help much appreciated.

Hi nasheich and thanks for the reply.
I should have noted that i have a wifi only tab.
Went through your steps carefully a few times but Play Store still only opens for a brief second, then disapears, I didnt quite understand step 3, clear account. play store version is 4.3.10 and Android version is 4.2.2,
Kernel version
3.0.31-CM-gac1803c

Please help when you can, thanks and regards

Be sure you flashed the 4.2.2 gapps, the latest gapps (gapps-jb-20130813-signed.zip) is for 4.3.

Ok, got gapps-jb-20130812 which is the correct one. went into recovery mode and selected "apply update from external storage" selected the file then I get:
Finding update package...
Opening update package...
Verifying update package...
E:failed to verify whole-file signature
E:signature verification failed
Then it all stops and i have to re-boot. I think if i can get this package onto the device then all will be good,
thanks in advance for your help

Hi, i would recommend you to do the following:
1) Download cyanogen mod 10.1.3 stable(4.2.2 android version) and gapps package 20130812 which is compatible with that version of cm
2) Copy them to your sd card (internal or external)
3) Download a md5 checker ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1135620 ) and verify that the files in your tablet have the right md5
4) boot into cwm, do a wipe data/factory reset (important), wipe dalvic cache and install cyanogen mod first and then the google packet
its important to make a factory reset as there are data in your tablet which will conflict with other versions of gapps

Solved
followed the steps carefully and it all worked fine, I cannot thank katsika and nasheich enough, you guys rock and roll.
Muchos Gracias

Gapps problem after updating Cyanogen mod

I just updated Cyanogen mod from 10.1 to 10.2.0-d2vzw, which updated the phone from Android 4.2 to 4.3, which requires a new gapps. So I downloaded gapps-jb-20130813-signed.zip, which is what cyanogenmod’s website said to use, and put the .zip file on my SD card. I then told cyanogenmod to go ahead with the update, and it proceeded to reboot the phone into TWRP and install the update without giving me a chance to select the new gapps. The phone then rebooted as normal into a working Android 4.3, but Keep, Hangouts, Google Drive, etc crash immediately. I figured this was because I did not get to install the new gapps, so I manually boot into TWRP and install the new gapps only. After the installation is done, I reboot my phone successfully, but I still have the same problem where Keep, Hangouts, Google Drive, and maybe others are still crashing. The play store does seem to work now though. What steps should I take to fix these apps? I do have root access. Thanks!

[Q] Gapps install

Good afternoon. I am new to the forum and need your help.
Install TWRP and can after trying several times install CyanogenMod 4.4.2 (version 11-20140207-unofficial-1931 +0100- wingray). Already running and it works great but I can not install add the Gapps, I get Failed.
According to the log tells me: Error flashing zip / sdcard/pa_gapps-stock-4.4.2-201140207-signed.zip
What can be the problem?
I do this from the menu, I select Install zip containing the gapps, select Zip file signature verification and confirm getting the above errors.
I could lend a hand.
Thanks and congratulations for this forum which is great for those of us who like all these devices.

Try it without the verification.. or possibly re-download the file in case you got a corrupted download originally.

[N9009] How to install GooglePlay Store

I figured that since it took me forever to figure out how to install GooglePlay store on the N9009, the dual sim China variant running 4.4.2 KK, and get it working properly I thought it'd be worth sharing with others who might want to do the same.
Things you will need:
Rooted N9009
Odin 3.07 http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1168421
CWM Recovery http://downloadandroidfiles.org/download-n9006-cwm-recovery-6-0-3-70922-fix-adb-tar/
GAPPS I used CM11 GAPPS from cynanogenmods wiki found here http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Google_Apps
ES File Explorer/Root Explorer
You will need to flash a custom recovery through Odin. Run Odin with administrator privileges and click the PDA button. Locate the n9006-cwm-recovery-6.0.3.7(0922)-fix-adb.tar file and click start. Your phone should reboot. You should noticed that we're using the N9006 CWM recovery, which was the only one I could find that'd work with the N9009.
The problem I discovered when trying to flash GAPPS on the N9009 was that the priv-app cache was full and wouldn't allow all of GAPPS to install to /system/priv-app/. This is where I had to use a root explorer and delete a couple of apps from /system/priv-app/ For example, I deleted the Samsung gallery app and a couple other non crucial non-needed Samsung junk. Now you should be able to flash the GAPPS zip from CWM.
This was the best method I found for installing the GooglePlay Store and having it run correctly. I tried to install it manually by copying Google Play Services framework and everything over to the folders myself but kept running into the gapps has quite unexpectedly, google services has crashed, or the play store would just never connect.
maybe you can use the google installer in wandouji market
also need root
you will not trip knox and only need install an apk and let the software to do it.
[RE] maybe you can use the google installer in wandouji market
Well it did need all of the Google Services to run properly and I'm not sure whether Wandouija store would include them all or not. Also I can't really speak/read Chinese and I can't remember if the Wandouija store was on the phone already or not.
I just figured it would be best to flash it as a system app from twrp because there always seems to be less problems that way.
Maybe next time I have to add the play store to my bosses dual sim Chinese phone I'll try it that way.
detailed Instructions please

[Q] (Google Play Store) Error retrieving information from server [RPC:S-7 :AEC-7]

Greetings,
I had some issues uninstalling xposed on my HTC One M8 that was recently updated to lollipop so I reverted back to a stock lollipop rom directly from Telus. Every time I try and download an app from the Play Store I get the following message.
"nameofapp" could not be downloaded due to an error. (Error retrieving information from server. [RPC:S-7 :AEC-7])
This is what I have tried so far:
- Clear cache on Google Play Services (Framework) and Google Play Store
- removed update from Google Play Store
- updated Play Store manually to newest APK
- rebooted in between these steps
- removed Google Account + cleared cache + all data for all Google Apps and services
Sometimes when I reboot it will let me update or download 1-3 apps, then it will just bring back that error. I'm at a loss as to what I should try as googling this error brings up the same solutions every single time. Other then this issue the phone itself appears to be functioning properly. My phone is unlocked and rooted but I do not have xposed or any other custom mods running. I'm also using the latest version of TWRP. I have also noticed that sometimes when I disconnect from wifi and attempt to download from 4G the download actually goes through. Not exactly a solution as I have limited data available to me. Any ideas?

Flash GApps via TWRP. If it doesn't help, bring your phone back to full stock, including flashing firmware + rom and make sure to format systen + data partition
before flashing the new rom.

Thanks for the help. I tried to flash the google apps but TWRP kept giving me errors that the package wasn't compatible with my phone. I located a nandroid of Telus lollipop stock and flashed that after I have formatted the system and data partitions as you have recommended. I dont believe I needed to do firmware as I have never had anything but stock firmware on the device. Everything appears to be functioning now as I can download and update from the play store once again.
Out of curiosity are you able to tell me why I encountered that issue? I cant seem to find exactly what that error even means. While i'm still very new to the android scene with flashing custom roms and device modification I have never once had that issue.
that is a "host" error, using a file manager, go to your /system/etc folder, open the "hosts" file, as a text file, and erase all.. except the local host:

You have to make sure that the gapps file is correct for your CPU architecture and your android version.
Go to Opengapps .com, select the CPU architecture for your device, then select your android version, then look at the different gapps packages, the different files are different sizes, from the full size package with the whole set of gapps all the way down to the smallest package that only has the bare minimum google apps. You can look at the info for each package to see which apps are included in which bundle. Select the package that suits you.
Once you've selected your CPU, your android version and the package size of your choice, click the download button. Then try flashing it.

Google Play Services is gms core, try downloading Google Play Services for your CPU architecture then manually install the apk from internal storage.
Or, if you are rooted, you can try sideloading the Google Play Services apk using adb or adb push or a root explorer file manager app on android to push the apk to /system/priv-app folder or the /system/app folder.

Boot to recovery, factory reset the device in recovery, then wipe cache partition, then reboot to system. After the device boots, power off and boot to recovery again, then flash the gapps package.

Gapps are not built for specific devices, they are built for the different CPU architectures and different android versions, you have to make sure that the file you download is compatible with your hardware and your android version. If you used open gapps and banks gapps then you have already used the TESTED gapps packages or they wouldn't be available to anyone, they don't release gapps that have not been thoroughly tested.
If none of the files will flash correctly then the issue is probably not the issue, the issue is probably an issue with your device itself somehow.
