Help please. Google play keeps force closing

Google play store app is force closing whenever I try to enter the store.
Google play store is force closing EVEN WHEN I TURN ON THE PHONE, AS SOON AS THE OS BOOTS.
I tried to reflash stock,reinstall recovery and reroot.Result: nothing
I tried the clear data,cache from SETTINGS->APPLICATIONS->MANAGE APPS.Result: nothing
I tried moving2sd/moving back to phone.Result: nothing
I tried to download the googleplay apk and install it.Result: nothing
Does it has something to do with the fact that I removed some bloatware apps(like softwareupdate.apk which runs nonstop and eats RAM) with TitaniumBackup? Is the GooglePlay app inseparable from some bloatware which shouldn't be removed?
Can somebody help me with the proper solution?What else can I try in order to fix this?I have galaxy fit on 2.3.6 stock.
Thanks.

If you're rooted and all I would suggest flashing another version of gapps perhaps or reflashing the same version after wiping cache, and dalvik cache.

Ok, but GAPPS contains GooglePlay plus more google-related apps,right? The thing is that I don't want all that google $hit. I just want Google Play Store.
Thanks

Then u won't b able to use it. coz it basically needs ur account info (which depends on "Google Services Framework" )+other apps. In short, Play Store doesn't run as stand alone app...!!

[Q] After upgrading to latest CM10.1 Google Play starts showing errors

After I've installed the 10/11/2013 cm10.1 update google play does not let me anymore to update apps and when I connect to internet it keeps force closing again and again, so I can not do anything on the phone. Tried to wipe google play cache and data but that didn't fixed it, neither installing gapps again. Any suggestions without wipe data/factory reset ? Thanks.

It worked by uninstalling the updates from both play store and services, and after a restart all works fine, both apps updated to latest version and works. Thanks !:good:

google play services has stopped unexpectedly

I keep getting this annoying message. It randomly appears but when it does, it shows up 3 times simultaneously. Making my phone lag so much. I am not able to clear the data of play services, buttons are disabled. Anyone have any ideas other than factory reset? I'm on stock rooted rom.

@dje20 Try to be a root user, then unistall Google Play Services with the Rom Toolbox Lite, and then download again the Google Play Services if everithing is correct, you can clear data, etc

Hi, thank you for replying, I think I did mention that i am a root user.
I have already tried clearing the data of play services using titanium backup but the problem still persists. Though I am wondering if uninstalling the app is any different from clearing it's data. I will try it soon. What I really want to know is what is causing this issue, if anyone could explain to me, that would be great. And also I forgot to mention that this problem most of the time shows up when I open large applications i.e. COC.

@dje20 Flash again vía ODIN the firmware, couse some app maybe it's cousing the problem, so try to re flash the stock ROM, and install all your apps agin, and if the FC still showing up, it's some app problem

[HELP] I broke my Google Play Store and can't fix it

Hi XDA,
I noticed on APKMirror that a new version of the Google Play Store was released (5.10.29/30), so I tried to install them, which all went with no problems.
Than I tried to update an app in the Play Store, when after clicking the "Update" button my Google Play Store immediately crashed.
Alright, I removed Google Play Store using Titanium Backup, this might be the biggest mistake of them all (I must have used to "remove updates" from the Settings > Apps menu)
After removing 5.10.29/30 I decided to install 5.9.12 again, because that one was working fine for me.
Installed that, hit the Google Play Store, smacked the Update All button, and boom, crashed again.
At this point I went to Settings > Apps > Google Play Store > Remove all Data
Went to the Store again, update all, crash...
I have also wiped my Download Manager Data
Also I disabled AdAway, since some hosts file might mess with it...
Ok, I have a Xposed Module "PlayPermissionsExposed", disabled that, reboot, try again, still crash...
Tried wiping the data of the Google Play Store again... Nope...
The Play Store gets as far as;
Opening the Play Store
Accepting the App Permissions
Downloading.... CRASH
And, after this crash, I can't even open the Play Store anymore, just gives me a force-close.
I really hope someone can help me to fix this issue, since I really don't feel like reinstalling my device again.
Talking about my device, I am using:
Samsung Galaxy S4 I9505
Rom: Google Play Edition by danvdh
who even needs to google play store when you have apkmirror

just boot into recovery, wipe cache and dalvic, then flash the gapps you used when flashing the rom. dont wipe any data!.
if that doesnt work, try flashing the rom too. worst case you might loose any mods you made to the system, but data will be fine as long as you dont wipe it.

Thank you, my ROM did not came with a flashable gapps package, so I just wiped only the Dalvik cache.
Too bad, that did not solve the issue...
I am re-flashing my rom right now, without wiping anything, hope that solved the issue, will report back later

Play Store Has Stopped

Hello everyone,
I have an issue, uninstalled the play store app completely from the system and downloaded the most recent one from an XDA thread. After re-installing it does not work. It says (Unfortunately, Google Play Store has stopped working). Now I've tried some method like clearing the cache and data from both the play store and google play services. I also did a factory reset using TWRP, everything is back to normal except the play store app which did not installed by itself but I had to re download it fro XDA. How can i fix the app so I can use it again? Could it be that is not working cause is not in the system folder anymore? if so how can I put the app back there? Thank you in advance for any help you may give me. :fingers-crossed:

What I did was reinstall gapps
Flash arm 5.1 and full package, you can uninstall the unwanted apps with rom manager or something
