Google Play Sign In - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So I dirty flashed the new build of mahdi over my old build. Newest gapps as well. I rather flash dirty cause of all the settings I have them the way I like them.
For some reason it doesnt let me sign in to the google play store at all. Tried reverting to the old gapps as well and nothing seems to work. Let me know if anyone has any idea besides doing a clean flash.

clear the data for the google play app, then try again.

Thanks for the quick response. I could have sworn I tried that. I cleared a couple of the apps cache. Including the google play store cache. Anything else you might suggest I try?

Sorry Let me re answer that, i cleared the cache, data, and force closed the app.
I also went back into recovery, formatted system, cleared the cache, cleared the dalvik cache , flashed the rom once more, then flashed the latest slim gapps.

Try clearing data on play store, Google services framework and Google play services. Reboot and see what happens.
If not, try different gapps. And you've done everything wipes wise, except wiping data it seems. A clean install is wiping system, data, cache and dalvik. ?

The problem exists mostly because of an update to google play services. I was somehow lucky in that I managed to do a full wipe and for some reason (even though it shouldnt) custom nandroid restore of Data only the problem went away,
There are various methods of trying to fix this without a wipe but they haven't worked for me and many others. A clean flash is the best way really.

I have since then fixed the problem, as nothing worked like I wanted it to. A clean flash did the trick, losing all the settings and notes I had in my notepad apps. Should have backed those up before clean wiping my whole device. Thanks anyways guys.

Give us more history - have you done anything major with your phone recently?
For example, cruft remaining in /sdcard after a return to stock using the "ultimate unbrick" approach can cause the market to go nuts unless you do a factory wipe in Settings.
did a factory reset that seemed to have fixed it, the lousy serendipity rom screwed up the phone royally

There are a handful of people running that rom without any issue...
unfortunately you failed to provide any real details of what was going on, so it was impossible to give you any help
I have had some issues with google authentication...it usually happens when one fails to wipe everything before installing a new rom or by restoring system data with tb.
Typically it can be solved by clearing cache for google framework services , rebooting and then logging into youtube.
So, by factory reset...you are still on Serendipity then right? A factory reset deletes user data, not the rom.
I am currently running Serendipity, no Market issues.

Any help will be greatly appreciated

Please bear with me i'm a noob.
I got my G2x with stock rom 2.2 Froyo and then rooted and flashed it without updating it to Gingerbread... I,ve tried CM7, Weapon, and now on Eaglesblood. None of them would let me use voice search without crashing..it will recognize what i say but as soon as i pick a selection from the list it force closes.. and some of the phone settings i try to access will also crash on me.
Is this because i've never updated my phone to GB before root/flash? Was i supposed to? I actually tried updating it with LG updater after root/flash (weapon at the time) and bricked it.. so im not going thru that again.
Thanks in advance!

Well for voice search... Have you tried uninstalling it and reinstalling it?
As for the rest of the phone, maybe a cache and dalvik cache wipe?
I'm not trying to patronize you, but you have stated that you are new to this, so I'm going to ask the following.
Between flashing new ROMs, did you:
Perform factory reset.
Wipe the dalvik cache.
Wipe cache.
Format /system.
This is not something you need to do everytime (Like when upgrading from one version of CM7 to the next), but is recommended (Especially going from the broad range of ROMs you went through).
If you haven't done the following, I recommend doing that first, then coming back should you still need to troubleshoot. MANY issues can be fixed simply by starting with a clean slate.
Yes, i have factory reset, wiped cache n dalvik, and formatted system between flashes. Im going to try reinstalling it now.

Voice search works on my 2.3.4 roms. They are not anything special, but lean, fast and stable.

So... I just tried reinstalling voice search to no avail. I uninstalled it first and then booted into recovery to wipe cache and dalvik. Now, what I noticed was that when I select wipe dalvik cache, it gives error log "E:unknown volum for path [/sd-ext]." but when I press Yes to confirm the wipe, it says "dalvik cache wiped." I'm not sure if it's really wiping dalvik or not... Well, I installed voice search again and it still force closed.

I will try out your rom!
People actually use voice search? I used to try but i always found it was faster to just type because it never knows what im saying.

The dalvik cache wipe is working, it will always say that unless you've wiped your SD card with CWM. Since there shouldn't be a need to, it's not a problem and shouldn't be a factor in your situation.

[Q] CM9 g2x Kang build unfortunately, google play store has stopped

I'm sorry if this question has been answered, I could not find a fix using the search.
I flashed the ROM, and gapps. Everything else seemed to be working just fine, I installed a few apps from the market and when I went to go back in to download more apps, it just started giving me that error.
what were the install steps and what have you done to try to fix, reboots, fix permissions, wiping cache, wiping application cache and data?

Music Apps Crash and Burn

I'm having a little issue. Yesterday I flashed CM10 and had everything set up and all was good. I listened to music without a problem. This morning, on my way to school, I was using poweramp (as I do on a daily basis) to listen to music. After class, i decided to run poweramp and i noted that it would attempt to open but then i would get kicked back to my home screen. So i decided to use Apollo (which im not much of a fan of but I was glad I kept it). I came home and I immediately Got rid of CM10 and went with Stock based ROM. installed everything as usual but I'm still having the same problem. This time, I uninstalled the app (cleared data and cache), rebooted, installed again and the same thing was happening. So i decided to download another popular music app (player pro) and it was doing the same thing. Can I get some tips on what the Issue may be please? I have uploaded images of both of the apps stalling before I was kicked back to my home screen. And I also did a logcat. Any information will be greatly appreciated.
Note: The link is to download the Logcat since its bigger than the XDA limit.

If you did a "dirty" flash when switching your ROM (that is, only wiping cache and Davlik cache) then you might want to try a "clean" flash. There's some disagreement about what a "clean" flash is; but, it at least includes a factory reset/data wipe.
I will do a factory reset/data wipe, and a cache wipe, and a Dalvik wipe when switching ROMs. It doesn't take that long, so why not just do everything.
Of course, make sure you back up everything first -- the factory reset will completely erase all of your apps and settings.

I've done that. I only dirty flash ROM updates. When I go from ROM to ROM, my habbit it wiping data twice, wiping dalvik twice, wiping cache twice and formatting system twice.
I Spent 2 hours getting this ROM set up yesterday and installed all of my mods. Guess I'll have to switch. Thanks for the reply

Updated to the latest CM 12.1

So i updated to the new CM just now. I did a complete wipe, even the recovery was gone. Just to be clear, no backups were made, root was gone etc.
after installing the rom, i flashed AK kernel, and supersu. So no other app was flashed to the phone.
I booted into the phone after i was done flashing supersu and all of my apps, wifi passwords etc were still there. i made sure to wipe the cache, internal storage, etc before flashing the rom but they were still there. I get its kind of a good thing but im just afraid that it will cause issues eventually.
anybody have any ideas if im just worrying over nothing or maybe i should wipe it again?

You might have restored/ reinstalled app from your google account.. That's the only thing I can think of at the moment.

Use the phone as it is now. If you face issues, clean flash.
