KitKat & Google Cloud Print - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Ever since rooting on 4.4 I have been unable to use Google Cloud Print on my phone. If I go into settings for Cloud Print everything shows up correctly. But as soon as I go into Drive, GMail, or any other application to print, it force closes instantly.
I have tried clearing data. Uninstalling it and reinstalling it. 5 different ROMs now (3 being completely stock) and still nothing. I am using PAGApps.
Is anyone else having this issue? And does anyone know of any fixes?
Thanks for the help.

There's a cloud print 2 app. Look at the banks gapps thread in themes and apps. Go to download gapps from his own link and in the listings it says new apps not on play store. It's in there. Might help your problem

Thank you for the heads up! I have it downloaded but it's not letting me install it. It's saying there's an app already installed with the same name and conflicting signature. If I uninstall Cloud Print using TiBu, it still wont let me install it.
Do you know the Cloud Print version number of Banks' app?

Look in data/apps for a vestigial Cloudprint apk and delete it.

I didn't find a Cloudprint.apk in data/apps. So I did a search for anything related to Cloudprint and deleted it. Still wouldn't let me install the one I downloaded from Banks. So I just restored the Cloudprint.apk from TiBu (no data), rebooted my phone, and still won't install.
The one I'm currently using (from PA) is version 0.8.10. Still FC's every time I try to use it.

Anyone else have any ideas? It's still not working for me.

Google's latest update seems to have fixed the problem.

[Q] [CM9 Alpha]Can we customize google packages?

Hi,
I am running cm9 alpha currently.
All works fine for me except google wallet keeps stopping. An error msg could be seen on screen. And, I really don't need google wallet and some other services like YouTube etc. But I do need Google sync. Can I uninstall them? Or is that possible for us to choose which google services will installed after flashing google service package?
Thanks,
Qi Zhang
Yea you can just use titanium or root explorer to remove them. I don't believe you can pick and choose which apps go into the gapps package. You could try downloading a bare bones rom and then install all your needed system apps.

The likely reason that it is force closing is you probably didn't format your /cache, /data, /system and /boot before flashing the rom and gapps.

Error 504 when installing applications from Google Play

I am stumped on this one. When I try to install Evernote, Google Play returns a 504 error. No matter what I do, I cannot get installed. Here is what I have tried:
Cleared cache on:
Google Play Store, Download Manager, Google Play Services. Cleared system cache
Removed google account, readded, no luck.
Tried to sideload by downloading 2 different versions of Evernote. Same result, App not installed. Tried installing from Amazon store, same result.
Nuclear option, reset device, installed as first application. Same result! From factory reset, removed any extra apps that came with the application. No luck.
I've read this could be a lollipop issue with duplicate permissions.
My question is, has anyone else been able to install Evernote? Any additional suggestions anyone can think of?
Thanks!
There are a few apps that just will not install on the Pure XL. I am waiting to see when a software update will be downloaded.

I am also unable to install Evernote.
Whats sad is that you cant contact Evernote unless you are a premium member. All this did was push me solely towards Keep. Even less chance of me becoming a premium member now. Lol
I have same issue trying to install Risk for Chromecast ... or pretty much any chromecast ready Hasbro game ... well no monopoly for my kids

You got a system update? or you are just waiting for it?
Since we have root now, you may be able to "trick" Google Play to install it by changing your Device Name within your build.prop file.
I think the entries that need editing are:
ro.build.product
ro.product.model
ro.product.device
Search XDA for full details

Problems with play store

I got my 703L a couple days ago. I'm having issues downloading app from the play store.....many times they fail, but if I fin the apk online it installs fine. I can't get my contacts to sync.
Any help would be appreciated.

I initially had the same Problems.
I copy the Calender Sync and Contact Sync in System/App and give Permissions to rw-r-r- and Reboot.
Now it works without Problems.
This only works when the X2 is rooted,whether it comes to install I do not know, but you can try it.
In the Attachmeht is the Download Google Sync Calender and Google Sync Contacts.
Unzip it,when you have root copy it to System/app and give Permission,Reboot and all Google Apps works,
or install without root and test whether it works.
Thanks but I don't want to root it yet. I got the contacts to sync, but I get an error almost every time I try to download from the play store. I think there is some confusion regarding tablet or phone.... Are most people able to download direct from the play store?

Nah, Sorry. You have to download each one. And the Google App has to be gotten from the playstore. Make a backup when you get it the way you want it in twrp.
Or search the Google Installer from Eric,this works

Google play store error 505 after nougat update

I use Facebook for work as we have fan pages. I use Facebook pages manager to manage them. I never had Facebook downloaded on the z5(work phone). I received a notice in play store that pages manager had an Update available. That's when I started receiving the 505 error code when trying to update the pages manager. Then I uninstalled the pages manager and tried to reinstall and now it won't install at all keeps giving me the 505 code. I read online where they say to remove the Google account and then add the Google account back,clear cache and data etc.... and if that doesn't work of course reset your phone. I'm not going to reset my phone because I will lose too many important chats with in different applications on the phone.
Is anybody else seeing this issue?
Update: the only apps that won't update are Facebook,f.b.pages manager,and now f.b.messenger....I'm not a Facebook fan,but need them for work.
This is an unlocked phone bought from Sony in Thailand. Model E6653, build# 32.3.A.0.376

if you are rooted and have sony ric disabled then install playstore again using lucky patched, but first go to settings apps find google play store and wipe everything from that app.
EDIT : Best thing is to use titanium backup(you have to be rooted) and backup every app that you have important chats on, and then do full wipe(excluding /system).
Full stock z5
I'm not rooted. I'm also using a Huawei mate 9 with 7.0 and having no problem with Facebook apps. Thanks.

Is the problem only with page manager or with other apps, if only page manager simply download page manager apk from apkmirror and install it and that's it.
Only Facebook apps are effected.
I'm pretty ignorant when it comes to installing apk,roots etc...

Apkmirror is source of official apks so it is same thing like if you download from playstore.
So I need to download from unknown sources? Check that option in security section?

Open this :
http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/facebo...manager-102-0-0-15-67-2-android-apk-download/
press download apk, then go to:
Settings Security enable unknown sources and then install this apk, just press on it in notification area, after installing disable unknown sources if you want and that's it.
Even though I get a warning message saying it can harm my device?
Thanks for your help.

Ignore it, i use apkmirror for years and never had any problems with any apk.
It downloaded,but I can't locate it. It's not in my app drawer or on any home screen.....
I went to my down load section,and tried to click it,but it says can not because it conflicts with existing package. So I know it's in the phone,but how do I access it...?.....
File Commander or any other file manager and locate Downloads folder and there it is.
When I try to download
Here is the screen shot
It won't open......

Well you have to uninstall existing page manager to install new.

I did. I deleted any file that had the word Facebook in it from file manager too. I even went into Google play store under all apps and deleted it from there also.
It's so strange how it only FB,FB messenger,and the page manager
Well this is a bug. I experienced this problem after upgrading to Nougat from Marshmallow using flashtool. Sideloading (apk) won't work. Do a factory reset, that's the only fix.
It's just too much trouble factory resetting. I'll just have to use my other device.
Thanks guys.
you have to do a clean install not update..

[root] Playing around and accidentally uninstalled the play store - how to undo?

So, this is my first time rooting a phone, and once I managed to get it to work, I started playing around to see what capabilities I had now.
In doing this, I uninstalled the play store. I've tried multiple methods to reinstall it, but none have worked so far.
I've tried installing a new play store apk and used systemize to turn it into a system app, but that didn't work (the app crashed on launch)
I've also tried using link2sd but the app wouldn't let me convert to system app.
If anyone else has any tips for me I'd be grateful.
Using a samsung running android 11 - rooted with magisk, recovery method.
Copy it from another device using ApkExport then transfer the installable copy over to the victim device and install.
I haven't tried it with Playstore but it works on other apks even if the donor device is on a different Android OS version.

sadly the only other device i have is a samsung galaxy S2 that is barely functional. I doubt that'll work.
Before you do anything I'd make sure you have a good backup of your device. Copy text messages, contacts, photos, etc all to external storage.
My first thought was just download install APK, but I see you've done that.
Someone else may have a better suggestion, but, if nothing else works, I'd try installing pico GApps to restore Playstore functionality.

Try it. It will copied system apks and updates.
I copied apks from a S4 running on Kitkat to my Note 10+. If it loads Playstore will need to update, that may be a problem... or not.

Google Play Store app by type is a normal 3rd-party app. Wondering why you want to convert it to a system app?

Yeah it's a system app on my Note 10+, can't be uninstalled*.
Normally it doesn't crash although it's common for it to not connect to Playstore. It does that if Google play Services is disable but even then it doesn't crash.
* I think, it has a disable option but to find out if there's an uninstall I would need to revert to the factory load first... which isn't something I want. It appears to be as I originally stated.

there is no uninstall option. I uninstalled it through other means as my phone is rooted. Now I'm having issues re-installing it and getting it to work.
My last 2 cents here:
Per definition only apps that are needed by Android OS to work are called system apps and are stored in /system/apps. Other apps - called 3rd-party apps like Google Play Store - may be stored in /system/priv-apps.
BTW:
If you manually install Google Play Store APK then it installs to /data/app directory - as expected.
