Edit: Disregard. Appears to be an issue with GApps not necessarily Pixel-Specific. Reinstalling ROM & Downloading the Google Play Services apk directly appears to fix the issue.
Good Evening guys,
First post here on the XDA Developers site. Let me know if I'm doing this wrong.
Recently, after trying to reinstall some ROMs, Play Store & Play Services keep failing after loading GApps. ROMs work fine without loading GApps but once I do load GApps, the crash notifications begin.
I've tried this with the following ROMs:
lineage-15.1-20180911-nightly-sailfish-signed.zip
open_gapps-arm64-8.1-pico-20180915
twrp-pixel-installer-sailfish-3.2.3-1.zip
Magisk-v17.1.zip​
Anyone else experiencing these issues? Any suggestions on where to start?

Hello Everyone,
First time post. I scoured through numerous posts about the Play Store unable to find one related to mine. I will give as much detail as I can. Pretty simple if you are savy with rooting.
Phone: HTC Evo 4G
ROM Installed: MazWoz-Evo-B6 (Jellybean
GoogleApps Version: gapps-JB-20121124
Have attempted other ROMS and gapps versions. Just a few. But enough to know I must be missing a step or it is just broken and no one has it running :S. I have cleared all the cache, both the Play Store app cache and in Recovery mode Cache's. I just started into this Rooting last night. Very comfortable installing different ROMS. But why is the Play Store broken on each one? I have tried installing the ROM, Booting up, shutting down and than installing Gapps. Along with installing Gapps right after the Rom install. I clear everything for fresh install of both. It is getting me no where and the internet is full of all kinds of topics related to the Play Store. But nothing that fixes this issue.
I can not get connected to the Google Play Store. Using an existing google account to log in with, it never makes it into the store. But using this step does setup the email for the phone. Maybe that will help pinpoint an idea to you guru's. I hope someone can help.
Thanks!

first thing. ensure that your rom download and gapps download are both good downloads and not corrupt. even partially corrupt files can flash unless you used md5 checksums. But since each rom is having a problem... really looks like your gapps might be the problem...
thats something to check at least...
Play Store DB reset

Android's play store is oddly configured. Depending on your rom's tweaks, a variety of things can cause playstore issues including: LCD Density (via /system/build.prop), ro.product.model= (via /system/build.prop), ro.product.manufacturer= (via /system/build.prop), and lastly the Google Play Database file.
Sorry I can't remember the location of this file, but basically on our phones there is a database file, I believe an SQL DB. If you have lots of problems, you can try to close google play, erase cache/data to the app, then rename the db file to **OriginalNameOfFile**.BAK
open google play, and it should be fixed
I am running Slimkat f2fs. I tried to dirty flash the latest version of ROM + slim gapps.
The device runs well but I get all these errors in the notification area saying that "An application requires installation of Google...." and the play store tries to open but never does.
I think this is all because of my 2-step authentication but I'm not sure.
I even tried removing my google account from the device and adding it again, but now I can't add it. It says trouble connecting to google. Can anyone help?
thanks
Hi there,
You must give us more details about your device/ROM. But I this flashing again GApps will solve this error. If not, you can try to wipe cache/dalvik and try again.
Good luck
I finally got it working. As the notification errors indicated, I needed to install Google Play Services. I was pretty sure it was installed but obviously not correctly.
I downloaded a version of the google play services apk from android police and then the error changed to needing to upgrade Google Play Services (rather than needing to install). After upgrading in the play store everything is working fine now. In the end, I don't think 2-step authentication had anything to do with the issue.
BTW, reinstalling gapps, both full and mini, would not correct the error. Only installing the apk fixed things.
My device is N7 2012, "grouper". I am running the 9.0 version of Slimkat with Mkernel.
Hi guys,
I searched the forum and I found a thread with "Google Play Services Stops Working" with no fix for this problem and unfortunately this issue started affecting me when I completely wiped the phone with OS (accident) on it and started from scratch.
I tried latest version of play store, not so late, different installation methods and the result is still same. After awhile the google account is deleted and play services are not working.
I forgot to mention when the OS was restored and updated I had to manually install Play services.
It says not supported by my device. Is there any way how to get it permanently fixed again ?
Thanks in advance,
E.
How did you install GAPPS (Google Apps with all the needed services?
I downloaded latest play store .apk and installed it from there. I even tried different versions, different sources ...
It's working for few hours and then it stops working ( I click on play store and it's just about to open, few ms quick white flash and nothing happens) and I have to reinstall it and redo my accounts.
You have flashed all the services and apps google play store need?
Try flashing the latest opengapps package.
Use the following options to generate:
Platform: ARM64
Android: 5.1
Version: you choose
maybe try install gapps from HiAPP (market from huawei)

No need. I had the same issue; at some point my stock Play Market just vanished, ran into a bunch of other issues, but solved it by installing a full gapps package generated on opengapps (I use the pico version).
I installed gapps successfully :highfive:
There was some error with MD5 but at the end it was fine.
Let's wait and hope it did what it was supposed to do.
Thank you guys

I have flashed/installed KatKiss Marshmallow + gapps + supersu and it's running fine, however the Google Play store doesn't appear to be downloading any apps, it says 'Download pending' and nothing ever happens I have installed the Amazon Appstore and that works with no issues.
I have tried clearing cache etc on Google Play Store app and Google Play services and re-flashing gapps but still have the same problem....Can anyone offer some advice?
Thanks,
Holly
Same issue here. I have no clue what happened. Home button doesn't work either with the 7.1.2 build
Hello, I apologize if this is not the right place to post this but I'm really desperate about this issue.
I restored a TWRP FULL backup and now I can't use any google-related apps. Whenever I try to open the play store and try signing in; the google play services keep stopping
I tried uninstalling play store and play services updates, clearing caches, clearing their data and even installing play services apks to no avail
Any input is deeply appreciated. Thanks.
SOLVED
Ok, for anyone having this Issue in the future this is the way I managed to solve it:
Head to https://opengapps.org and download the full suite of Google apps for your Android version (don't forget to select the right platform) and then flash the .zip file on TWRP
Cheers
