[Q] Lost Google Play Services by accident and can't get them back - Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi
Stupid me! On my rooted Moto G 1st gen (XT-2032) 4.4.4, I managed to remove the Google Play Services while trying to integrate their update in the Rom via TitaniumBackup. Not the Services are gone, and most of the Google apps will abort immediately with an error.
I have tried something already: I have downloaded Google Play Services 6.1.83 apk (variant 036) and installed it, turned it into a system app, but while Google Keep now launches well, Google Maps or Google Play still immediately abort.
Is there anything I missed? And is there a way to restore the Services correctly without needing to flash a stock firmware on the phone?
Thanks for the help.

if you have unlocked bootloader, try flash the google play services from gapps, there are a package with play services

Yes I the bootloader is unlocked. Can you please elaborate your method?
Not sure it is the same, but I already installed (not flashed!) this file gappsearly.com/google-apps/google-play-services/summary/31-google-play-services/359-google-play-services.html
Is that what you meant?
Thanks

Try flash with cwm this file

Thanks, I tried and seemed to succeed but in fact, the GPServices are now in an awkward state : The only place where they appear now is in Titanium backup, but stroken-through, and I can't uninstall them from them. And the other Gapps report the services as missing.... It seems I will have to reflash all the same

can you delete play services apk from system?
try again and flash the play services, but its a weird problem :/

How to install APKs?

I need to install APKs, but I don't have a browser or a file explorer on my phone. It's rooted, but hasn't got a custom recovery.
I bought this phone off a private seller, and it's a clone galaxy note 4. It's rooted, but google play doesn't work. It comes up with a gapps error, and every app stays at the 'downloading' stage forever. I don't mind sideloading everything, or sideloading Google play somehow.
I just need a way to install apps. Other suggestions on how to do this are also appreciated.
Try adb.
adb install Name.apk

Hi,
Try to clear cache of Google Play Store, Google Play Services, and Google Services Framework. Remove your Google Account and log in again. If this step didn't work, you can try to download the .apk and install it via ADB.
Hope this helps.

Done all that, but managed to use adb to get chrome on at least. Will try again now, just cause.

how to completely degoogle

is there any rom that will completely get rid of google? i tried viper and the play store was still there
i just don't want any gapps
To my knowledge, the only real true way is to root and flash an aosp rom (if available). They usually don't include Google apps unless you flash a gapps zip file. I hope that helps

just delete google play services and playstore manually.
There's a fork of lineage os that removes the google framework. There was an article on xda a bit ago. Anyway, here's the project page (https://lineage.microg.org/) and here's the article (https://www.xda-developers.com/unofficial-lineageos-built-in-microg-avoid-google-services/)

Google Play Store/Services Issues

Hi,
Just got my OnePlus 6 yesterday and I'm already having an issue with it. As of today, I cannot download or update apps from the Play Store. They are just perpetually stuck in the "Downloading" state (screenshot below). I'm also getting the "Google Play Services won't run unless you update Google Play Services" notification from time to time. I've cleared cache and data, reset app preferences, and manually downloaded the latest Google Play Services APK, but it's still having the same problem. I've read guides that suggest uninstalling Play Services updates, then updating it again, but it isn't showing up in the device administrators list so I can deactivate it before I do that.
My phone is rooted through Magisk and has the bootloader unlocked.
Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.
Update: Gmail is not showing new emails. Not sure if this is related or not.
Sounds like a factory reset is in order.

Should I do that from settings, or use wipe in TWRP?

I believe u have to wipe in twrp and reflash.
Just do factory wipe in twrp. You should be fine then. If not, then follow link for better help https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-6/how-to/rom-stock-fastboot-roms-oneplus-6-t3796665

Did you download the correct version of Google Play Services since you manually downloaded it? I've seen this if you've installed the incorrect version of Google Play Services on the device.
Link to 12.8.74 (040400-204998136)
Link to 13.2.72 Beta (040400-206980955)
Uninstall or disable the google app.
That fixed it for me.
Let me know if that works.

I uninstalled Google Play Services.....

Hi,
I made a mistake I was tired. I wanted to uninstall google play services UPDATE (downgrade) but like a retard I deleted the app instead of the update with titanium backup.
I tried to install a new clean APK with correct dpi etc... but I have google play services has stopped working all the time. all apps who need playservice are not working like google maps. a lot of apps who required location mostly.
I can acces to the playstore but only with a secondary account. main account is not working anymore.
Do I need to install play services differently? Or I'm good to flash a clean firmware with odin?
Thanks.
Try to convert Play Services to a system app and then reboot or if that not works, yes, flash a new firmware.

Are you using a tools for that ?
Or I just copy past the folder ? to /system/app or /system/priv-app ?
thanks for you help
I made a similar mistake trying to install a newer version of play services and got the same behaviour.
Only thing I could do was reflash firmware.
