I've seen ads before this update too. Mostly when searching for places while on the road. Doesn't happen all the time though, I get ad listed results at the top, and then what I actually searched for at the bottom of the results page.

Is anyone else having trouble installing (downloading) this update?
It tries 10 or more times and then fails saying "download was unsuccessful"
Other apps install/update just fine. (I see about 10 download complete icons/notifications)
Tried uninstalling market updates, and also restarting.

Try the "fix apk uid mismatch", or however it's labeled, option in recovery.

Hmmmmmmine is labeled as Maps.apk not as com.google.android.apps.maps.apk in system/apps.
I wonder if thats why it wont install???
Edit:
I deleted maps.apk with Android Commander.
Copied com.google.android.apps.maps into system/app folder and it worked.
Must of been a theme that renamed the apk and didn't allow the update
thanks Daveid

Right, the originally packaged Maps.apk is in /system/app, however (just like with the market) when an update is issued, that file is ignored for the newer version that is placed in /data/app - it would seem that EVEN GOOGLE THEMSELVES can't modify the RO status of the /system partition to update applications (without pushing a system update requiring a flash in recovery). So you may notice in /data/app (or /sd-ext/app if you use Apps2SD) com.google.android.maps.apk & com.google.android.vending.apk. It is safe to remove the versions Maps.apk & Vending.apk from your /system/app directory (or rename them if you want to preserve a backup in case...).

Nice info. It worked for me.
Code:
adb remount
adb shell mv /system/app/Maps.apk /system/app/Maps.apk.bak
adb install -r com.google.android.apps.maps.apk
Also deleted the vending apk in /system, I wonder if thats the cause of the Market crashes...
Any idea how previous updates worked fine?releases

I tried to update multiple times this morining on wifi with the same error "download unsuccessful". I tried everything, wipe cache, fix permissions - NO GO. Then I tried to do the update with wifi off, on the edge network and it worked. Hope this helps someone.

I've tried updating on both 3G and 2G with no luck either way; it always results in "Download Unsuccessful."
I know that updates work because I updated 3 other programs and only Google Maps fails. Going to have to manually update this one.

Try signing into Talk if you're not already. If that doesn't work reboot and try again.

How to install:
Make sure you have "install from unknown sources" checked on settings.
Different methods
A) Download to PC, then upload to dropbox, and download to phone.
B) Use ADB:
Code:
adb install -r com.android.vending-1.apk
C) Mount USB to computer, dragg .apk file to sd card. Unmount, use a file manager and install.
Enjoy!

When i install from file manager it fails and from adb it fails again with the message:
[INSTALL_PARSE_FAILED_INCOSISTENT_CERTIFICATES]
am i doing something wrong?

I've downloaded the APK and installed it via Linda Manager... works fine
No need to do any adb commands, at least not here!

weird... this usually means that you cant install it because it's interfeiring with your market.. almost as if you had to uninstall one to install the other..but it works without uninstalling the market.
Im not sure, maybe go to settings>manage apps>market
click force stop and clear cache..
see if that works.. not sure why you are getting the error.

Does it has to do with my current market version?It's version 2.2.6 manually pushed because for some reason it would not update to the newest, was the market in a newer version maybe?

For those having issues installing the new market... are you currently using a theme? Is your current Market modified? If it is signed with testkeys that might be causing the problem. Try reflashing your rom (without theme) and then try the market. Then simply remove the vending.apk file from your theme file and try flashing your theme. It should (in theory) work fine.

[Completed] Play Services 5.0.84 Causing Problems?

I have a Verizon S4, running a GPE ROM and KTweaker kernel. Last night, my phone's Play Services was still on 4.whatever, and everything was fine. This morning, I powered on my phone, and it's nigh unusable because I keep getting an error over and over that Play Services isn't working. I managed to get into settings and see that my Play Services is now at 5.0.84. Is it just me having issues, or is this a common thing right now? Pretty frustrating, considering I really can't do anything with my phone with these constant errors. :/

Oh, I see that yoiu have already posted your question in the ROM thread.
I think it's a good place.
Although I see some other users also reporting issues after Google Play Service updates ... some could fix it by clearing data of Google Play Service app, some just uninstalled the latest Google Play Service update, and others fixed it by flashing latest Gapps for their ROM.
So asking in your ROM's thread is fine IMO.

The only thing I can clear, via settings, is the cache for Play Services, but that doesn't help any. I was going to try to disable it and then reenable it, but it won't let me, because it says something about being a device administrator or something.
I didn't have to install GAPPs, as that was included in this ROM package, so I don't know if I should download and flash one of those or if that will cause even more problems for me due to the ROM already having had that stuff.

Unless you get no better advice on the ROM thread, you should reflash the ROM.
If it does not solve the issue, wipe data (= do a factory reset).
Make a backup of everything important before.
EDIT:
My team mate @bhiga found another possible fix to try before wiping data:
Sometimes using Titanium Backup to convert Google Play Services to a user app can fix this issue of Play Services constantly crashing. Need to be patient and keep dismissing until the process completes, then reboot.

It's a special feature in Titanium Backup Pro app. When you open the system app in Backup/Restore, you see Backup properties. Just wipe from right to left to see the Special features:

Ah, I see. Unfortunately, I can't use the pro features in TB because it can't verify the license, since the Play Services error won't allow me to connect to the Play Store. :/

Every app has got some standard error codes and all of a sudden you generally get to see the Errors like “Error 491” or for say some error number followed by the message. So let’s take an example of Google PLAY Store which too comes with some of the errors. Unfortunately, Google doesn’t expand the error codes, but all thanks to the folks at XDA who has come up with the expansion of Google PLAY Store error codes. So let’s check out on what the various error codes which are generated and what does that mean. Not just error codes, but we will also be checking out on what are the problems associated with that particular error code along with the solution to fix the same.
Error 491 / Error 481:
Problem: Download & Updates are not possible
Solution: Remove your google account if the problem persists even after checking out your internet connectivity and clearing the cache from the Google PLAY Store app. The cache can be cleared from the Settings. Once removed, restart your device and then re associate your Google account with your Google phone. You can clear the cache from the “Settings > Apps” and swipe to all your apps to clear the clear the data from the “Google Services”.
Error 498:
Problem: Interruption of Downloads
Solution: Downloads are generally interrupted when the cache of your device is full. Delete unwanted apps from your device and restart the device in the recovery mode. In recovery mode, select “wipe / clear cache”. Do let us know in the comments section just in case if you wish to know on how to clear the cache from the recovery mode.
Error 919:
Problem: App gets downloaded, but doesn’t open once downloaded
Solution: Free your space by clearing either some of the apps or some files. Preferably, you can delete some of the large files like music, videos etc.
Error 403 / Error 413 / Error 504:
Problem: Downloading apps and updates are not possible
Solution: If you are using the proxy, then you need to remove the proxy. Clear the cache from the “Settings > Apps” and swipe to all your apps to clear the clear the data from the Google Services. Typically, this problem appears when there is no space in the Phone memory. You may also choose to move some apps to memory card.
Error 923:
Problem: Error while syncing Google account
Solution: Remove your google account and also you need to uninstall the apps from your device. Now, reboot your device in the recovery mode so that you can Select Wipe cache partition and all the cache part will be wiped off. Don’t worry as all your personal data will be safe.
Error 921 / error rpc:aec:0]:
Problem: Unable to Download any App
Solution: If you are using the proxy, then you need to remove the proxy. Clear the cache from the “Settings > Apps” and swipe to all your apps to clear the clear the data from the Google Services. Typically, this problem appears when there is no space in the Phone memory. You may also choose to move some apps to memory card which will in turn save the space in your device memory.
Error 492:
Problem: Dalvik Cache issue
Solution: Head over to the Google Services app from your installed apps and clear all the data present in that app. Just in case if this doesn’t solve the purpose, you need to clear the cache from the recovery mode. Make sure that the recovery mode is installed in your device.
Error 911 / Error 919:
Problem: App couldn’t be downloaded
Solution: This is an authentication error. This may occur when your WiFi network requires additional authentication. At this instance, you need to make sure that you have complete internet access. Probably in this case, you need to use your mobile network data services instead of wifi. Turn wifi off and then turn your data on and now open your google play store and download/update your apps or games. Error 919 is somewhat a similar case which is caused due to improper APN Settings.
Error rh01 / Error rpc:s-5:aec-0 / RPC:S-3 error retrieving information from server:
Problem: Error retrieving from Server
Solution: Delete the apps which are not required and preferably which are in the deice memory and restart the device in the recovery mode. In recovery mode, select “wipe / clear cache”. Do let us know in the comments section just in case if you wish to know on how to clear the cache from the recovery mode. You may also choose to re pair your Google account if the error persists.
Package File Invalid:
Problem: Cache or File error
Solution: You may choose to clear the cache from your device and also you can choose to restart the device and add back your Google account. This one also happens when the package / app is not signed properly.

PlayStore 4.8.20 worked fine but when I update it to 4.9.13 I get black icons ( without and with root,xposed,gravitybox) and after a factory reset from recovery I get black icond on 4.8.20 too...

Bro I have done some research in the net and most of the phone like jellybean has faced this issue after the update of Play Store to 4.8 and there's no solution found yet and it has to fixed either by the Google themselves or by the manufacturer ...

[Rooted OOS 5.1.8] Problems with uninstalling bloatware

After updating to 5.1.8, system apps including Google Assistant, Pay, and Chrome reappeared, so I just got into Titanium Backup to uninstall them. However, when Titanium says it successfully uninstalled these apps and I restart my phone, the apps are still there and it did not uninstall. I tried another app called System App Remover but that didn't even work. It just crashes when I try to uninstall one of these apps. What's the problem here? Why is it not letting me uninstall? I had 5.1.3 OOS previously and it uninstalled perfectly fine, but now it wont uninstall at all.

Certain apps like Calendar, Calculator, Messages etc. are doubles from Google. They can be uninstalled without losing their functionality, because OP apps just like that already exist. Chrome or Google app are one of a kind. They cannot be uninstalled because they are part of the OS. You would have to root the phone to uninstall those. Maybe even flash a new rom to get rid of them completely.
Is it because of Google's new A/B partition mechanics?

HAd this before on some phones - Reflash in TWRP as sometimes this can cause issues if installing a new FW Update. Then try removing them from TB.
It may appear you are rooted but sometimes its a false positive. Get Magisk 16.4 to be sure.

I used LP and I removed almost all google Bloatware (not Chrome since I use It) in OOS 5.1.7. After the 5.1.8 update, they appear again, so I used LP again

Fkofilee, I did Gambetta's suggestion and it successfully uninstalled. I guess it's TB's fault for some reason. This validates that I am successfully rooted without any false-positives. Though, if there are problems in the future I may as well reflash. Thank you guys for helping!

Yea, i debloated it with TB+Magisk and i mainly wanted to delete the horrible gmail app and the google duo

No Idea what LP is, but I had same problem and reflashing was the ultimate solution. But the problem was I was not rooted on both partitions. magisk did not take on the second partition. Once I fixed that I was able to use Titanium Backup without problem. Although i had other issues that made the reflash a more complete option

I also had some issues earlier with Titanium, as it would not uninstall Youtube. However after a reboot YT was gone. All "Bloatware" Apps, which come with the ROM are being reinstalled with every update/dirtyflash, that is why I choose to just freeze these apps. A freezed app stays freezed after OTA/dirtyflash.
Also sometimes Titanium fails to correctly backup/restore "SimCity Build It" app data.

I use with succes Root Essentials for debloating. It needs root.

its b/c the files updated and now are in the data partition instead of system, u have to use a root file explorer or boot into TWRP's File manager and go into the data/app and remove from there also.
