Yes, this is a straight-forward fail - I am running a CM13-based ROM and flashed a nightly build (has been redrawn meanwhile) onto my N5 without backing up first. Right after the first reboot, I received a "Play Services has stopped working" error message and this keeps appearing all the time. Additionally, the Google Now Launcher has disappeared from my launcher list - and of course, all the Play Services-dependent features don't work, i.e. Chrome, Contacts sync, Play Store and so on. So, my phone basically is useless.
I suspect all the problems arise from the non-working Play Services. I managed to uninstall them after deactivating the Android Device Manager and re-installed the latest version, but this didn't fix the problem. Is there anything else I can try? Or is there no way around a complete wipe?
have u flashed Gapps?
Tried it, but didn't help either. I'll just go for a full wipe now. But thank you for answering!

try clearing Cache and dalvik cache and then delete the host file from "etc" folder!
I should've tried deleting the host file. Wiping Dalvik and Cache didn't work before...
Anyway, I took the opportunity, put my 32GB mainboard in and set up everything from scratch.
Are you using amplify?
No, I didn't use that.

have you tried it without booting up market after the cache and data wipes and waiting a few minutes after rebooting?
have you tried with both TI back up and with the applications settings screen(each seperately and exclusively)?

Didn't know vegan 4 was around .....
I am having somewhat the same problem. I was on CM6.1B4, all working ok but wanted to check out this vegan ROM since it is getting so much traction. I installed vegan beta 3. Tried the market fix, got the error, rebooted, waited over 5 mins, nothing. Tried this over and over.
I keep getting 'Network Error, please try again' in the market. Yes wifi is on and working, I can browse the web, download from the web. Once in a while get the market to show a couple apps and download them. But for the most part the market errors and/or is empty.
Here is the stuff I tried. I did a data/cache wipe on ROM install. I also tried a data/cache wipe 2 more times. I have tried the market fix over and over. Sometime I do not get the market error (the expected one). I tried the new market, with the market fix.
Someone please help, what am I doing wrong, why am I getting the network error. Thing is useless without the market. Gmail seems to have issues too downloading mail. This everything worked fine with CM6.1, does the wifi support 802.11b/g/n in vegan?
What are the exact steps from ROM install or data/cache wipe to get market up and running? And don't point me to the market fix, I wants steps prior to that....
You could just install Applanet... granted it only has like the top 10,000 android market apps... It essentially has everything and anything you would really want from the market. ..
Oh yeah and its free and no need to root..

I found this worked for me and might work for you too.
I goto the settings and select applications and then system
apps. I basically disable google service framework, market and
market update. I then use T. backup and look for google frame-
works and wip the data. I then try to run the market, it should
fail .. You do a complete shutdown and restart ... If you done
it correctly it should get the market working.

When you are wiping the cache for the market in the applications settings do you actually see the byte size for cache go to zero 0.00B? I had the same situation on one of my rebuilds - had to wipe and rebuild because the clear cache nor the clear data were actually clearing (i.e., showing zero).
I had the same issue, tried many many times, no error. it worked for me when I first logging to Google market first. Then, do the market fix..

I noticed that playstore keeps crashing everytime i try to install an app.
i installed the last rc1 build and it worked fine initially, but since yesterday night, since i installed the last maps, currents, street view etc...
But since this morning i tried to install facebook, and now play store just keeps crashing
Anyone else with the same problem?
i deleted cache and delvik, deletede play store cache. uninstalled updates, tried to install the new jelly bean version but it didn't help.
Any ideas?
tried reflashing the rom over it, deleting delvik and cache, and reinstalling gapps package, no success here.
Try clearing the app data for playstore.
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using Tapatalk 2
Yes, i forgot to mention it, but it is the first thing that i did...
i removed phonesky.apk from /system/app, installed new apk, didn't help, from the second play store tries to update or download something, it just crashes.
I will wait and try a bit further before considering full wipe... :-(
here's a logcat

http://pastebin.com/XDQXJsZW
Did you try to completely uninstall Play Store then reflash the GApps.zip from recovery?
It sounds like something is glitchy with the app or files associated with it. If you just tried to install new versions over it you might have kept what's causing the problem. So do a full delete of the Play Store.
It can't hurt!
yeah i had tried that, the second the phone booted, the crash notification appeared right away.
I wiped everything except sd card, installed other rom, and so far so good,
i guess i'll wait for the next release of OS...
Hi, I have a Samsung Admire and have been using Adfree perfectly fine before. However, after upgrading Android from 2.3.4 to 2.3.6 to fix the WIFI error, I can't seem to get Adfree to work again.
I get the following error message when trying to install the Hosts:
java.io.IOException: Error running exec(). Command: [su] Working Directory: null Environment: null
How do I get this app to work again?
Uninstall & reinstall. Try to clear cache & dalvik cache in recovery. Worst case scenario, I think, is to wipe everything and install from scratch.

I tried uninstalling, reinstalling, and wiping cache in recovery before, but to no avail. I didn't try wiping dalvik cache before. After uninstalling, wiping out cache and dalvik cache in recovery, and reinstalling, the error is still there.
I am not sure what you mean by "wipe everything and install from scratch". I would understand how to do that if it was on my PC, but not on my smartphone.
By that I meant, as a last-resort option, to completely wipe everything as if you're gonna flash a new ROM. Format everything through recovery, flash ROM, kernel (if applicable), gapps, whatever else. Then set up your google acct. & restore apps from titanium backup, or reinstall all apps from scratch.
BTW, you shouldn't restore Adfree, it should definitely be installed fresh from Google Play.

As much as I would like to give your method a try, it seems too complicated to do. First of all, I never format my phone before. Even though I know how to format a PC, doing the same thing on the phone seems to be new and unfamiliar to me.
Second of all, it seems to be quite a lot of troubles just to fix that error. I wonder if there is a manual method of removing the ads.
Ok, just to be sure you don't have a problem with su, go into the Superuser app, check for updates, and force an update even if there's no new version (it also makes sure the file has the proper permissions).

Yay! That was the problem. Thank you so much! Wow, AdFree app didn't get rid of most of the ads as it used to, but oh, well...it is better than nothing.
Hello,
I am looking for some asisstance - and in a hurry because i am trying to get my tablet updated before i leave on a flight tomorrow and this is driving me insane.
I have a p5113 with CM10.1 installed on my tablet. (for p5110). I cannot download anything from the google play store -- can't update apps, nothing. I have tried reinstalling two different roms to see if that was the issue, I've cleared the data from the google service framework, google play store, google play services, downloads, download manager and then rebooting. I've tried two different networks.
I can download other .apks normal, and I can use my browser just fine.
Does anyone have any suggestions? Would going back to stock even help? I tried going to stable releases, but that didn't work either.
Go to settings, remove google account. Then Try wiping the data for google play services and google play again. Then reboot to recovery. Wipe cache and dalvik cache. Reboot and see if it works. Btw when you flshed your gapps did you verify the md5 first?

I had not checked the md5, but i just did and all is well with the md5. (never knew how! learn something new everyday ) I'm trying things in that order that you listed again. I think I did, but I may have missed a step.

it did go through a different screen that said 'android is upgrading', and it was updating 86 apps, but to no avail, nothing had changed. i checked the md5's for both files (the cm file and the gapps file) and everything checked out fine.
would a restore do anything?
I think I may have pinpointed the issue.
So my phone updates fine on 3g, but when i switch to wifi, it doesn't work. It does the same thing as tablet.
I read something on a website about about there being issues for someone as a DNS problem.
The only thing is that when I tried to use my phone as a hotspot using 3G, it still didn't work on my tablet.
arrrggg i don't know. restore didn't work.
Hi everyone,
I have been using my nexus 5 since 4-5 days now and everything was working fine till last night when whatsapp started giving me errors (unfortunately app has been closed). I uninstalled whatsapp and when I am trying to re install it, its now giving me error "unknown error code on application install -24"
I have tried installing via apk, playstore's website, cleared the cache and data of playstore app, rebooted phone but nothing works.
I am hesitant to root my nexus 5 as there is no official recovery available and people are having issues when rooting the device and I cannot afford to have an unstable phone. Hard reset is an option but I would like to avoid it if possible. I have read that if I delete the related whatsapp folder from data/data folder somehow then it will fix the issue. Is there any way I could access and delete that folder without being rooted or if someone has any other solution to my problem.
Any help is much appreciated

Same thing happened to me, Did you enable ART? Because that's what caused my errors (force closing). After switching back to Dalvik and trying to re-install, i was getting -24 error on the play store. I rebooted a few times and left it for a few hours. Tried again and it worked.
Whatsapp is i believe in-compatible with ART.

Okay, As for as i know, it did fix itself when i rebooted a few times and after a while it just worked.
Things i also tried that might have helped. Clear cache for the playstore which you tried. i would do this again after you switched back to Dalvik. and make sure whatsapp is uninstalled before switching to Dalvik. Once you switch back and have cleared cache from the playstore, try to re-install Whatsapp.
As for the backup, on your phone is a whatsapp folder that has a backup of your messages and photos etc. When you re-install whatsapp it'll pick that up and restore your stuff. There is no need to delete that folder.
I Hope that fixes it for you.

Right so far thats what i did, and thats exactly what happened to me. I just left it for a few hours and tried again it worked. Just give it a few hours and re-try / reboot and re-try.
It didnt work. I had to factory reset my phone eventually and wasted my evening doing all the restores, I wish Android had a seamless backup system something like that of Apple's. Helium/Titanium/mybackup, all of them have some kind of flaws

I am not rooted at the moment so TB wasnt really an option. Helium works fine only for apps and their data but I am looking for something that can restore my phone exactly how it was before the reset including home screens, settings etc without being rooted.

That what you are looking for would be a nandroid backup made in a custom recovery, that restores everything. But not possible without root.
Hi,
I have the same problem. Error -24 if I want to install Whatsapp from Google Play Store. Local installation after downloading the APK from Whatsapp gives also an error (app not installed).
Tried several times to delete the cache and setting of the Play Store app and the Google Framework. Followed by restarts of the phone. Until now I was NOT succesful.
As far as I read on other forums, the problem is, that in data/data/ already exists a Whatsapp-directory and therefore Whatsapp doesn't want to install. You could delete this directory, but only if you are rooted. I avoided this step until now, because it's a new phone with warranty and after rooting, all data ist wiped.
I also tried adb to delete this directory, but same effect. Because the phone is not rooted, I can't remove this directory by remote shell.
Is there no way to clean up such remains WITHOUT root?
Greets,
