I'm currently having trouble installing the Google Play Store over the old Market app. I've downloaded 3.4.6 and 3.4.7 as .apks and still nothing works. How do I delete the old Android Market? I can't find it in system/app thanks!

check /data/app/
if its in there then you might want to move it to /system/app/

Dont use any apks you have downloaded.
Try this:
Delete the apk you have installed (uninstall updates)
Clear data
Connect to wifi
Go into market
Press home, let the wifi be on
Wait ca. 5 minutes
Go into market again. If promoted accept google play
If the old market comes up, press home and let the wifi be on
Wait another 5 minutes
Go into market again and accept the terms.
Let me know if it helped

I checked where you specified and no Market .apk exists in there either. :/

Thanks for the help. However, my default Market (v3.4.4) doesn't have any updates. The only options I can select are "Force Stop" and "Disable". Also, I've left WiFi on and nothing is prompting me to update to Google Play.
There is one wierd issue though. After force closing the Market app to see if it would update, it didn't update to Google Play but when I launched the Market app it asked me to accept the new Google Play terms and conditions. (I am still on the old Market app though.)

Hmm, thats reakly wierd. If nithing helps, try a clean update of your phone

[Q] Google play wont run

Running [email protected] #6 on my evo shift. Android version: 2.3.7
Downloaded Google play. When I run it. It says" You must add an account to the device to continue, Do you want to add one now? "
Yes or no Play just goes off the screen. Help?
I have setup a gmail account and that doesn't help. Sign into google account fine with my browser that doesn't help. Can't setup email. Because it is asking for Exchange setting. Not using Exchange. Help? Ohh Noob here too.

I rip everything I can of Google out of my phone. At this point, I have maps, contacts, the market, and the respective libraries. Nothing else.
The reason is that Google is an evil corporation that plays the nice guy act, in order to harvest all of our data. I would rather pay for my services than bend over for Google.
The way I look at it, Apple does not give you control, and makes you pay for that service. Google gives you a false sense of control over your phone, all the while tightening the shackles on their new data slave.

You need to update Google Search. When you go to the Play Store, and look at "My Apps" you should see Google Search on the list, and, hopefully, it will give you the option to update.
Latest version is 3.1.24.941712.arm

New options in settings sync (google account)

Hi!
I've noticed new options when I enter settings and select my google account (sync details).

"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Do you know what are these? Weird is that there are "*" in some titles. Do you know what are these with star? Do you know what exactly does it sync? Do you know why there are 2 exact same positions? Don't know why one of these options is in english while rest is in Polish. Is everything OK or maybe I should wipe data (I dirty flashed when coming from 4.4.2 to 4.4.3)
Thanks in advance

These are supposedly hidden sync points. Have you installed Greenify?. Greenify Experimental version enables/displays these 'hidden' ones - so you can chose to enable/disable sync on them.

Yes, I installed greenify but never would guess this is because of greenify. Thanks for help

Mine now has 3 options for photos...
Google photos
Auto backup Google photos
Google+ photos
..nice one Google for making your software so easy to understand.. nobs

Can anyone say what exactly does that sync mean:
- Location and location something
- Google Play services
- Push subscription

I was curious about these too. And also why there are 2 "Game Data" options
Also, I unticked a bunch of them (i.e. Push Subscriptions, Google Photos, etc.)
But notice that they get reticked (upon reboot, I think)

Play Store downloads/updates taking hours

Since a month or so Play Store takes literally hours to download or update apps. This happens on wifi and mobile data, no other app has connection issues, Play Store works fine on my old Samsung and OnePlus phones. I tried restarting my phone to no avail, power and data saving modes are turned off.
Any one got an idea what's causing this?

If they fail with error 92x then you can try clearing the cache and data of playstore and Google framework. Uninstalling the updates for these will do the same. This may not work, but it might.
There may be an issue with the account. Wipe the account from your device and re-add it. This is more than likely going to work.
Failing that it will be a full factory reset and you will need to make plans for backups to reinstate your data. This will definitely work.

I had tried clearing cache and data before, doesn't work.
Now I tried wiping the account from my device, but I'm not sure I'm doing it right. I go to setting -> accounts & sync tap on my Google account then tap remove account. Although that logged me out on all Google apps, my device somehow still remembers my Google account's email address which I don't use for anything else as you can see in the screenshots.

Yes it does, cause the device gets bound to the Gmail account registered at first boot. It's something like Apple binding a device to the iCloud account first registered with it.
To remove it fully, you have to login to your Google account from a PC, and navigate to the account overview page. There you can got to
Device Activities & Security Events > Last Used Devices > Check Devices
and disconnect the device from your Google account. Once that's done, and you rebooted, the Google account should be gone.
