problem
it’s impossible to install an application due to the dalvik cache.
solution
under settings, find apps, then swipe to all and scroll down to google services. Here, select clear data and then force stop. Do the same on the google play store app.
Note: If the problem is not solved, try deleting the dalvik cache. To do this, enter the custom recovery mode (only if you have root). Another solution is to complete a data wipe/ factory reset. This option applies to all users and can be done in recovery mode. Beware, it will wipe your data so make sure you have backed up everything you wish to keep.

error 911:
app could not be downloaded due to an error 911
solution:
Method 1: Clear the google play store data
method 2: If you are using a wifi connection that requires a webpage login, then your authentication has probably expired. Log in to the apn again via your android browser. Open google play store and run the app update again . If that didn’t work the problem is with the wifi network itself.
Method 3: Simply switch to another wifi network and run the update. The error 911 should disappear for the new wifi network.
Method 4: 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. However, this method is only suited for apps and games that are small sized. For larger updates you should use your wifi network to save data charge.

One slight correction on recovery mode: To access it on Samsung devices is power + vol up + home (or it is on the Galaxy S4). Vol-down is download mode.
my error it is show (unknown error during application installation."-24")
what does it mean?
can you help me?
this is really useful, i usually get problems downloading updates whenever i restore paid apps from titanium backup
FYI: I just signed up to become a beta tester of an app. Immediately after hitting "join beta" or whatever, I went to the Google Play Store (on a browser) and clicked "install" and selected my device. Back on my phone, I received an error 940. I'm guessing it has something to do with not being in the testing team (it usually takes a while for the system to update).

Null ROM on Galaxy gear and Google trouble...
Great work mohamedrashad!
Maybe you can help me with my problem?
I rooted my Galaxy Gear and installed the NullRom. Great success! But I immediately noticed two things:
1. I cannot add accounts under "Settings -> Accounts". When I click the "Add Account" it just flashes once and nothing happens.
2. I cannot launch Google Play. When I try, either directly on the icon or from the Shell menu, it opens briefly but then closes immediately again without any error message. I have tried several different versions of the Google vending apk, without any luck.
I believe there is a relation between the two problems, but I do not know where to look. On the Forum, I have read about other who also has had my #2 problem, and solved it by adjusting the MTD Partition. However, I have no idea how to do that, nor do I understand why that should help. "Out of memory" should not be an issue on a freshly flashed nullROM device?
Please help.

I'm using Motorola Moto G and already rooted. I cannot find andriod/data/com.application-address.
It is same like other andriods?
Thanks.
The OP, and all other posts that lack clarity, should be edited to change where it says "Google Services" to say 'Google Play Services".
This is to avoid users clearing their GSF (I won't say the full name here to avoid confusing learner drivers) as clearing GSF will lead to all sorts of issues with regards to authorisation tokens, GCM push messages etc as Google's servers will think you have done a factory reset and will just cause many of the problems you are trying to cure.
Nice guide all the same.

Sorry for inconvenience!
Previously I mention "internal storage of your android/data/com.application-address" that's mean root/data/data/app name (the app shows errors during installation).
For example you have this error when you try to install ES File Explorer which package name is "com.estrongs.android.pop". Now you need to find the folder which is "com.estrongs.android.pop" on your root directory. For that the location should be "root/data/data/com.estrongs.android.pop" you need to go "root/data/data/" location and delete the folder "com.estrongs.android.pop".
And also you can use DU Speed Booster (Cleaner) or Clean Master to clean this kind of junk files or folders.
Thanks.

***PLEASE CHECK OUT UPDATE METHOD AT THE END!***
For those of you who cannot get Google now to work because you live in “Other countries", here's a fix that works for the Nexus 5 running the official Android 5.0 Lollipop released yesterday (Thursday 13th).
Here are the possible problems you ran into:
1. In Google Search's setting, you are unable to "flick on" Google Now with text "Google Now requires location services which are not available."
2. You signed out of the Google account, cleared Google Search app, uninstalled updates from Google Play Services, and signed in again. But after you click "Yes, I'm in" in you get a simple message saying "This account is not eligible for Google Now"
Be sure that your device's language is in English (United States)
Fix:
1. Download and install Market Unlocker (I am apparently a new member and not allowed to post links)
2. If your country blocks Google Play (eg. China), download SpeedVPN
3. If you are logged into Google: Settings-->Accounts-->Google-->*Click on your email*-->Three button on top right-->Remove Account
4. Go into Settings-->Apps -->Clear data for both Google Play Services and Google Search
5. Now open Market Unlocker --> Enable Unlocker (Default should be Verizon United States, if not, swipe right and choose that)
6. Turn of the phone.
7. Important: remove SIM card
8. Turn on the phone, connect to wifi, and open SpeedVPN -->Choose "United States"
9. Long press on homescreen -->Settings--> turn on Google Now
10. Log in and you should get your Google Now working.
11. Put back your SIM card
Hope it helps guys. Let me know if you run into any problems during this process.
UPDATE!
HERE'S A NEW METHOD THAT WORKS FOR LOLLIPOP ON NEXUS 5 as of February 1st 2015
This method has also been tested on Nexus 4 running Lollipop 5.0 as well. Here are the steps
1. Make sure you are rooted and have a working VPN
2. Download and install "location report enabler"
3. Run it and grant root access
4. Restart phone, turn on airplane mode with Wi-Fi on
5. Set VPN to country like America or England
6. Clear data for Google Launcher, Play services, Play store
7. Settings--> Location--> Google ----> enable location
8. Sign out of Google account
9. Back to home screen, use Google search to "remind me to buy milk"
10. Go through sign in steps
11. Back to home screen and swipe left. Voila!
Again if you have any questions please comment!

How about before step 1 you turn on airplane mode and in step 3 you uninstall updates + disable Google play services?

I actually got my Nexus 5 from Taobao and then clean installed lollipop. This worked for me. Did you try removing your SIM?

Same problem here followed all the steps...Nothing
I use to do it when I uninstall all google play service updates after I disable it but now I can't even check this 'cause the button is 'unclickable'

you must uncheck "Android Device Mangaer" from Security -> Device administrators to make that button clickable

Same for me, I just cannot get it to work. Tried several times, also uninstalled the updates of Google Play Services. And yes, I am rooted...
I also removed my Exchange account and disabled all device administrators
When it says account not eligible and goes back to google search just make it remind something (eg - remind me to sleep in 10 minutes) before doing anything else and it should automatically enable google now and take you to google now. Worked for me and hope this helps yall

Interestingly I didn't even get to try it out.
Google Now worked after following the steps mentioned by dollarside. However, it was probably the 5th I've tried.
Might be related to Market Unlocker that didn't seem to work at first. I used the guide from here (including proxy settings) and downloaded the latest version (3.5.1). After rebooting I made sure that the app actually said Market successfully changed (I had failed before after the reboot).
Another reason could be that I used Astrill VPN before (with different US servers). The last and successful attempt was with SpeedVPN.
In the end I cannot say what helped. Being persistent turned out to be successful. This time.
it's work for me in second try without rooting or using market unlocker.
on my nexus 4 from Iran
Perfect !:good:
Works on 5.0.1
Many Thanks

Hi, can you explain what you did?
100% working solution credits to reddit user archie411.

Yay the new update (Google App 4.1.24.1672412.arm) works with the old trick I used.
The old trick if anyone needs it (Needs root) -
Install Titanium Backup. Install a File Manager and a Launcher. I used ES File Explorer and Nova Launcher.
Find and download com.google.android.googlequicksearchbox-2.6.7.721924.arm version of Google Search and copy it to your phone. (Won't post the link because it's not allowed. You can find it in Androidfilehost)
Open Titanium Backup and tap on "Backup/restore". Scroll down to Google Search and tap on it. Do a backup by tapping "Backup!!" (Just in case) Then tap on "Un-Install!" (Make sure you have a different launcher installed before doing this!!")
Restart your phone.
Open the file manager, navigate to the folder where you copied the Google Search 2.6.7.721924 apk and install it. Open it and it will ask to Opt in to Google Now. Tap on "Yes I'm in".
Download and install the latest update from APKMirror Google App 4.1.24.1672412.arm.
And you are done! Feel free to remove the other launcher and file manager.

Okay here is what I did
1. I rooted my phone
2. I installed CCSWE app manager from play store
3. I also installed Google if I don't have it already
4. I opened CCSWE app manager and I granted root rights
5. I scrolled down to google
6. I tapped it and then I went on assistant
7. I tapped show icon
8. I went on assistant in the app drawer
9. And wait a few seconds
10. Go through setting up Google assistant
11. Done, and every time you want something just long press the home button!
Google assistant disappeared and now I have screen search back again which I don't want
Just waiting for my phone to arrive, but yeah how can I do this with a locked bootloader?
1. Open Mi App Store
2. Search "google"
3. Scroll down until the bottom
4. Select the one with "Small Green" icon
5. Install "Google Installer"
6. Open it
7. Press the big blue circle

Thank you!
Just download this file (latest)
Full OTA 14.0.127
rename it to update.zip and move to the internal storage root drectory
-----------------------------
Archive version 14.0.107
Full OTA 14.0.107
Is it based on Android 12?
Finally!! Thank you, sir! I’m installing at this moment!!!
Just update it. The good thing it's based on Android 12 but not 12L and for some reason they removed PC Mode.
What does it fix?
GSI without unlocking BL?
rotation in GSI
Wallpaper can be changed?
screen lock after apk install? (required a back action to resolve)
unstable brightness issue? (require 60hz to get better)
HDR fix?
Good news!
Is there also ZUI 14 for Xiaoxin Pad PLus (TB J607F)? If yes, could the one share it.
Thanks in advance
Updated to it. Pc mode removed. Device certificate failed on playstore.
This is great. Can I go back to ZUI 13 after updating to ZUI 14 using this image? (if issues arise with new version)

Yes you can but you will no longer be able to lock your bootloader in zui 13. You always need to have the latest zui 14 firmware to lock bootloader.
Thank you!!!

Thanks for the answer, but it did not help me (link is broken)
The issue was resolved as follows:
Went to settings, then apps. Click on the three dots at the top. There I chose google basic services. Turned off the switch. Tried launching chrome and logging in. There was a request to enable Google services. Then I went to the application settings and turned on google basic services. After that, I was successfully allowed into the account.
Hmm is it worth losing PC mode on on the latest update? I'm sure it's still in there since it activates when using an external display but hopefully there is a solution (like an app perhaps?) that lets you switch to PC mode just like the Xiaomi Mi Pad
