[Q] rooted device without backing up(can't install anything) - General Questions and Answers

Hello everyone! First post from a noob android fanboy! I have a gnex gsm version. I rooted recently and flashed cm11, but the problem is that I did not backed up my data(don't know why I did that sincerely), but the problem is somewhere else. I couldn't install anything. When I try to download Facebook it says error, try to download play store, won't open. I sign in with my account on play store on the web and it show the status of my previous apps installed, but I can't find them nowhere. This is the best part where I factory reset my phone, loosing all my data, but the situation is the same. I flashed cwm before the custom ROM, but I don't know if I have it anymore. Any idea is welcome guys. Thanks in advance

You cant install google play and start downloading apps right away !!
You have to flash GApps
(Google Apps)
Search for this on google : cm11 gapps
Download it and format system + factory reset from the recovery (cwm)
Then flash the rom again .. And before u boot to system, flash the GApps package

samsung galaxy ace plus google apps not working

hi guys!!
I rooted my 2 months old Samsung galaxy ace plus.
After that i installed Titanium backup and started uninstalling after keeping the backup of many google apps from the systemapp list that was useless for me.but after that My google play stopped working.
I tried to restore those apps but titanium backup hangs up everytime.
I tried many stupid things of which i wasn't aware and bricked my phone but somehow managed to get it back by flashing the corrupted rom by googling.
But now I want my phone to be new as . most importantly the google apps and google play.

I had this issue with my SGS+ and solution for me was to flash another ROM. I searched the app in the Play Store and seems that app was "incompatible" with my device. This has someting to do with the rom itself.
I would try wiping play store data and cache and see if this works.
If not, wipe cache and dalvik-cache could help.
But if you really want your phone as new, I think you should flash stock rom for it.
Anyway, good luck!

Samsung Galaxy Ace fora are here.
Well I foolishly uninstalled the google download manager 2.3.6, downloads and google plus and now tit backup is hanging up during restoring.
and after that my google play, gmaill and other google apps stopped working.
If i install cynogenmod, ics or any other ROM.
could this problem be solved?
:silly:
You can search for 2.3.6 google apps and install them from recovery or even geting the .apk files.
Sorry I cant help you here because I have ICS custom rom.

Hey. First, don't do what I did. I though I may have needed to flash the newest version of CWM to my Optimus T. Don't do it. It was soft bricked, and it was a pain to fix. Second; try updating your SU binary, and downloading the latest SuperUser apk from the browser. I personally haven't tried it (still recovering from brick), but it's said that it is a viable solution. If that doesn't work, your best bet is to download any version of Blackmarket Alpha, open it, and let it update itself. It pretty much has all of the same apps as the Play Store, minus the sleek UI and better sorting we both miss from the store.
Footnote: Gapps may have not flashed the applications themselves, but go to System > Accounts and check to see if Google is an option. That tells you it's atleast half way working. If you can, download the Play Store .apk, and repeat the second thing I told you above.
Best of luck,
Rob

Hello, i also have an LG Optimus One P500 using the same ROM version and gapps don't install either. The browser doesn't work (it starts and right after it closes, if i push the off button to shutdown the screen and then i reopen it, it does not lock. Anyway, this problem appears only with build 5 version. I hope someone/somebody will fix it, till then i'll stick with build 4. Thank you for your time.
Which gapps pkg did you use?

Did you use the smaller version of gapps or the Generic one? One of the problems with 4.x is that it's so big there isn't room for all the Google apps. If you used the 88MB version then try the gapps-jb-light-20120804-signed.zip version (55MB) and see if that one works. I saw several Optimus V folks with the same issue and using a chopped down version worked for them. The problem is that there isn't enough internal storage for both the ROM and the full gapps package.

[Q] tried to instal gapps, get non stop error on boot.

So I rooted/unlocked and flashed Cm10 last night with success. The phone was working fine except I had no google apps and iI was having a hard time getting them installed.I ended up following a thread but with my luck I installed the wrong version of gapps it seems. I've been searching all morning for the fix on my dev with no luck.. Now when I boot the phone I get non stop "unfortunately, the process com.google.process.gapps has stopped. " errors and can't do squat. I have tried whiping cache,/ factory settings, and the other one from recovery. And to top it all off it all off out of no where my samsung drivers I installed decided to stop working, so now i'm running into probs getting the correct gapps on to my phone from my pc. Is there some way to un install the dang gapps or a workaround to that error. I know if I keep messing around with it I'm gonna brick the damn thing. pulling my hair out as it is now xD. verizon samsung galaxy s3 i535 with cm 10. I tried downloading the correct gapps that was advised and rebooted into recovery, but couldn't get recovery to mount the sd card, it won't show up on my computer anymore so that i may transfer the new zip. Any advice? Thanks a lot.

I would recommend re-flashing the CM10 ROM you installed so you can start with a clean slate. After you have reflashed the stock ROM then uninstall and reinstall the Samsung USB drivers, and see if your computer is then able to transfer files to your Phone. You can also use the Goo Manager App, to browse for, download, and install the correct version of Google Apps. What version of Google Apps did you install and from what source? Here is a link to the correct version of Google Apps for CM10 straight form the Cyanogenmod wiki. Let me know if you still have questions .
thank you.
Thank you for the detail and instruction, you would of had a laugh at the last answer I recieved. I'll give this a try here in a bit and let you now how it went, I'll have to look at the version of that gapps I tried when I get home, but I got it off a help post on the forums. Thank you again, I appreciate the help.

Did you do a full wipe when you installed the CM 10.1 ROM? Going from Cyanogenmod 10 to 10.1 you should do a full wipe, making sure to wipe both the data and cache Also the Google Apps I linked to in my previous post were meant for Cyanogenmod 10 not Cyanogenmod 10.1 the correct Google Apps for Cyanogenmod 10.1 can be found here. At this point I would recommend re-flashing the CM 10.1 ROM you downloaded and then flash the Cyanogenmod 10.1 Google Apps. If that doesn't work I would recommend taking a look at this video.
Wipe system also. That is where the rom is.

[Q] Problem with Galaxy SIII

Hey guys,
I have a Samsung Galaxy SIII GT-19300 8GB running on Anroid 4.3, rooted and custom ROM Manager installed. Recently all Google Play services have stopped working. I literally can't do anything. I can' t log in, can't use Youtube, can't open the Play store because it gives me the No connection- retry error, of course. I heard it was because of Freedom. I deleted the app and tried to re-install it... but I cannot even install apk files; not any kind of apk file. I tried to force-install it with an android terminal, but that doesn't work either. Aptoide also does not want to install anything. I basically deleted the cache for every google app & I uninstalled all updates; but all in vain. Nothing seems to work except for Whatsapp and the actual internet browser. Please help me, I really need my phone to work properly.
Thanks in advance, any kind of help is appreciated

Download your stock ROM. Put it in your pc and then flash it using Odin.

Ok. You have got the answer in this thread
But before that just try to do a factory data reset
If you have some important data, take a nandroid backup
And then do a factory data reset
And I may be a foolish in this but I am considering it because everything may be possible here, enable the background data if it is disable

Well, okay, I guess that's my only option, I have reflashed the Stock ROM and that hasn't fixed my problem either. Factory data reset it will be. I'll come back to you whenever I have done the data reset. I really hope this'll fix the problem, because I don't want to do a factory data reset at all. :/

Google Play Store Crashes After Root

Hello, I have used this rooting tutorial to root my Moto G 1st Edition 1033 phone (5.1 Lollipop OS):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g/help/guide-root-xt1032-xt1033-moto-g-running-t2965507/
The rooting worked fine without problems, though the Google Play App (Market) is now crashing. Sometimes, even when I start it. I have tried clearing cache on the app and services then rebooting. Then I tried using Lucky Patcher to move the market app into System folder. It moved it but that did not help either. Then, I tried factory reset. That did not help either. Any chance you got a fix for this?
Regards and thanks.
P.S. I do not have any custom firmware installed I just rooted my phone that is all. I do not want to install any custom firmware.

Try reinstalling stock rom.
Thanks for the reply, I really appreciate it. I tried replying to the topic earlier but since I had low post count I had to wait and then I forgot all about the topic. Anyway, I am looking for a more simple solution to the problem. I do not want to flash since I am new to this. Thanks again.
@samandroidh - That rooting method is unnecessarily complicated and obviously has created this situation. The easiest way to root is to simply flash SuperSU.zip via custom Recovery.
Perhaps try this zip I have created before anything else. The zip will remove the pre-installed Play Store and install the latest version. Prior to flashing in custom Recovery, Un-install any Play Store updates - Settings > apps > (ALL) > Google Play Store:
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24352994023707407​
Latest TWRP custom Recovery: http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g/development/recovery-twrp-2-8-2-0-touch-recovery-t2980621
Latest SuperSU: https://download.chainfire.eu/696/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.46.zip
If my zip makes no difference, then maybe try rooting again with the above SuperSU.zip - no preparation needed - simply flash in TWRP.
