[Completed] Google Play Store not recognizing some stock apps, duplicates? - XDA Assist

Hello, this is my first post here at XDA.
After I (clean) flashed CM13 snapshot 20160820 and OpenGApps Pico, I noticed that some apps (Clock, Calculator, Phone, Contacts) did not show as installed in the Google Play Store. This was bugging me, so I decided to install the same apps, from the Google Play Store to see if the stock Clock, Calculator, Phone, and Contacts apps would show as installed. Instead, I ended up with two versions of the same apps, except the play store versions were updated. I used SD Maid to uninstall the stock Clock and Calculator apps, but I'm still stuck with two versions of Phone and Contacts... I read I cannot uninstall the (older) stock versions because my phone would not be able to make calls or access my contacts. This is a minor issue, but I hope someone can explain why this happens. I hope I was clear enough. Since I'm a newbie, I cannot provide a link to a screenshot of my app drawer.
I have updated my ROM to CM13 nightly 20161218 and OpenGApps Pico to the 20161217 release

Greetings and welcome to assist. The phone and contacts I would leave alone, the other apps were probably the same just with a different signature which is why they do not show up in playstore. If it is an issue you can reflash the rom then install minimal gapps and install everything else from the playstore
Good Luck

[Q] Hangouts = Google Play Service not supported on this device ?

My g/f phone is on the last version of Saba Prime v16. We did a force update to get Hangouts today and it worked fine..... until we rebooted it. Now Hangouts reports "Google Play Service,which some of your applications rely on,is not supprted by your device.Please contact the manufacturer".
Google Play Services and Hangouts were uninstalled, phone rebooted, then from play store they were installed again but the message persists.
I have a Desire S with Fallout rom, the same version of both apps and works fine even after multiple reboots....
Any ideas ?
I'm getting the same issue on a VZW Nexus. The weird thing is I have 2 Nexus LTE, one mine, one is my wife's. Both are running the exact same ROM/gapps/kernel/radio.... On one device the update to hangouts was flawless, on the other I get "device not compatible". Then a "play services" won't update error....
I've wiped the ROM clean install and tried to update before restoring other apps and still have issues.
Anybody have ideas to correct?
First idea is it sounds like it might be due to different versions of gapps before installing hangouts; I know that the gapps I flashed onto my phone got updated at some point afterwards, and now looks different to the package I downloaded and flashed originally.
Second idea, do your phones have the same CID? (i.e. same carrier, same sim-unlock state).

Okay I fixed on my end...
It seems as though it was on Google's server end, if that's possible.
The short answer for me was, wipe data > install ROM > install hangouts via apk (previously downloaded)> reboot > flash gapps > update Google now> update Google play services.... Viola. Seems like there should have been an easier fix.
Long Answer
I tried wiping data reinstalling ROM and gapps and that DID NOT work. I was getting the same error for Hangouts, Google Now, and Play Services and then some.... "Device not compatible"
I tried the exact same thing but logged into my Google account rather than my wife's and it worked just fine. No errors... Retried wiping ROM and flashing gapps, used her account, device not compatible again. That's why I'm guessing it was server side if that's possible. Even the web version of Play Store was saying device not compatible. CIDs were restored in each case and running same AOKP version and same Gapps.
That lead me to trying the install without Gapps... You only get so far before you must login to Google for obvious reasons, but for what ever reason, having the app installed on my phone before signing into gapps allowed for updating all of the other Play Services without issue.
It doesn't make sense to me but I'm up and running now...
My Solution
I'm a little late to the party, but this is the easiest post to find on Google for this problem. Mine worked after fresh ROM install, but it would start giving the error after a reboot. After much searching the thing that ultimately worked for me was to uninstall updates for the Play Store. I haven't uninstalled Play Services and after the Store auto updated, I could use Hangouts once again. I am using a HTC Desire with Cool Droid v3 GSM ROM.
I can confirm that steps suggested by MikeAce00 worked flawlessly.
This is what I did with a rom with gapps installed already
1. wipe & install rom -- do not input google credentials
2. install hangouts (google+ not necessary!) apk manually
3. input google credentials
4. update google play services (Hangouts even requested this...happened automatically after inputting the google credentials)
5. restart
6. done! -- hangouts should work
For me it did not seem to make any difference if you restart directly after installing hangouts apk or after inputting the google credentials

I've tried the methods proposed here, but no luck. At poinjt 4 I don't get a request for update, just the same old message about google play services not being supported.
I'm currently going through older versions of gapps and see if I get to a point where Google Play updates the right files in the right order.

Google Play 489 error

After doing all of these:
*delete all account
*cleared playstore, google services, framework cache and data
*disabling and force stop this 3
*full clean restore(after performing this, I can download all my and new apps, but when update comes and try to install it, it gives me 489 error also)
still having this annoying 489 error even I did the steps above specially on updating apps because "sometimes" downloading new app is possible without error and sometimes it does 489 error.
I have 3 gmail accounts on my G2. When I tried downloading on my account 'A' and it gives me 489 error, I switched to my account 'B' and it will download it, and when I tried to switch again on my account 'A' then tried to download new app, it will work. But this only happens rarely because most of the time it gives me 489 error.
I have one solution to download new updates, and that is uninstalling the app and installing it which is really annoying and tiring to do specially when there is 5+ apps that have new versions and like I said, sometimes downloading app is not working it gives me this hilarious 489 error.
Last time, I really want to hammer this phone, but I think my G2 has nothing to do with my problem, it is the play store.
Btw I have:
G2 D80220B KK
Dori Kernel
xposed
Titanium backed up apps(i don't think this is the problem, because my last restore of these apps is since March 2014 and all installs and updates are working fine until last week)
blocked apps by titanium
*fused location
*google search
*location services
*smart screen
*smartshare push
*smartshare.beam
*street view
*tags
*talkback
*voice mate
I hope someone can help me here. Or is it possible to install new google play APK from others phone that don't have this problem? Really need some help here.
Thanks
Trying installing a new gapps package for your android version through recovery.
Just googles gapps package for android (version e.g 4.1.2)
Flashing the wrong gapps results to such errors like yours

Here is a similar thread: Google Play not detecing installed apps and not-updated apps.
Maybe thi scan help in your case too.
If not, you may try different version of Gapps, such as this for KK ([GAPPS][4.4.x] OFFICIAL Up-to-Date PA-GOOGLE APPS (All ROM's) [2015-01-17]), or this for LP ([GAPPS][5.0.x][BETA] OFFICIAL Up-to-Date PA-GOOGLE APPS (All ROM's) [2015-01-16]).
They should work for CM too.
Good luck !
Thread closed and thank you.

[Q] Need help with Default Messenger!

SO after rooting my OnePlus i had to flash install my google apps, unfortunatly the default messenger app that comes stock with the one plus is also gone, this is very important for me because its the only messenger app(from my knowledge) that can be customized with my purchased themes i have. Changing messaging themes does not work on 3rd party messenger applications so i cant download any from play store either! ANY HELP?
No one?
A little more information, please? What ROM were you flashing? What gapps? Etc etc
Wipe, flash your rom that includes stock messenger, install nano pa gapps (google play services and google search), install other needed gapps by google play.

It had only been 39 minutes since you posted. Patience, my friend, patience, we all have lives outside XDA.

okay to summarize, i installed cm-12 on my one plus, after that i literally had 10 apps. i used this http://forum.xda-developers.com/par...apps-official-to-date-pa-google-apps-t2943900
to get all my google services, it does come with a messenger app but it is not the stock one.
I wanted the stock messenger app that comes with the OnePlus it is not in the play-store
hope i can get some help thank you
note its not just the default messenger app i wanted there are some small apps like torchlight that come with the one plus that are great and not 3rd party
Did you make a backup of CM11S before flashing CM12? If so, just restore your backup and you can extract the apps using a root-enabled file explorer.
I think, what he's talking about is the stock 4.4.4 messenger. Just download a 4.4.4 ROM and extract the apk from it, and then install it on CM12.

App install problem

I recently started using a G3 again and I have flashed different roms and had the same problem (currently on the latest pie Pixel Experience) . The problem I have is that some apps won't install (Snapchat, FB, IG) I've tried clearing caches, data, removing and readding my Google account with no luck. I've tried installing the apks but they either don't install or they do install but won't work either see the app as a package name or they disappear and then I'm unable to install or update the apps as it says another user has installed an incompatible version.
Is there anyway to fix this as I'm missing out on some apps I use frequently.
Thanks for your help.
I have the same problem on AOSP Extended 5.8 when i updated it, i no longer could install Instagram from Play Store, i dont use Fb or Snapchat so maybe i cant install these apps either.
I downloaded OGInsta + and use instagram that way. I suppose installing simple Instagram apk will do.
