Google Play Store Force Closes - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

Hello everyone, i hope this is the right place to post this.
Here is my issue, its prob easily fixed but im just unsure of how to do it. I was messing around with some inverted apps. Google Play Store was one of them. It wouldnt work, and the store kept force closing.
If i reinstall the vending.apk file, it installs over what i have and works fine...untill i restart my phone. After restarting, first thing i get " Unfortunately, Google Play Store has stopped"
Can anyone shed some light on how i could fix this? It works perfectly fine until i restart my device.

Try clearing data and fixing permission

I just cleared data settings. Fixing permissions in CWM right now.
Will update when finished.
EDIT : Nothings different. First thing that happens after reboot is the force close error.

Bump. Can anyone help?

google store force close
I had the same problem! Are you doing the copy/paste method? Then I kept trying different things, then I figured out you can use file manager program to install it, and it seems to work fine. Try that maybe

I just reinstalled the apk and was all good

or- maybe not- just force closed on me again!

same thing happens to me, on JW4 and as soon as I download an app, force close. Tried everything, older versions, modified versions, clear cache, fix permissions. I can download install from other markets no problem. Everything else works .. I'd hate to do a factory reset. Ideas??
FIX! You must be rooted. Uninstall play store, then using a root explorer paste vending.apk in system/app, then reboot. You can also use the mod vending.apk, it'll work. I had moved apk using titanium backup into my system rom, then when I did the most recent update it all went to hell, force close every time I tried to download an app. By doing the above it installs it outside of the rom and it worked. Hope it helps!!!

You don't have to install another Rom. 1st to a search for a mod playstore multidpi .. manage apps and clear data on playstore .. then with root explorer go to system/app check name .. vending or phonesky .. rename your mod playstore to same paste in system and set permissions to rw-r--r-- .. move paste overwrite into system/app reboot

I always do the 3 wipes just make sure you backed up everything including your efs folder, if to external sdcard take it out then flash. I usually back to pc and certain directories to external card as well.

Well I finally fixed it…. “Google Play has stopped working …” error in my S3
Previously when I rooted my S3 and installed Titanium Backup, I had changed Google Play from a System app to a User app… fail. Nooo it don’t like it. Tried alot of stuff to get it back working
Just undid it, changed Google Play back from User app to a System app and viola!! :laugh:

Well, it may not be the reason for issue. I also made it user app but there was no issue untill once i stopped when some app was getting downloaded.
I tried every thing like restoring from Titanium backup, cleanig cache,cleaning data for google play store and google play services but no luck. Finally it got resolved when i flashed gapps after deleting google account. Then after flashing gapps when i created new acount a d then install apk it worked.
Hope this will help.

[Q] Download Unsuccessful

All my old market apps download just fine, but when I purchase new apps I cannot download them. With any new app purchased I get Download Unsuccessful error. I have tryed clearing market data/cache, wiping all data and caches, I have even tried factory resets with no success. Don't know what to do at this point. I am running DC 3.5 with netarchy-toastmod 4.13.

I've had this too without any quick permanent solution. What has seemed to help me was reflashing the gapps. This probably will not completely fix it, but has definitely helped a bit.
Thanks for the suggestion, I downloaded the Google Apps for HDPI devices for CyanogenMod 6 at http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?title=Latest_Version#Google_Apps
Unfortunately it didn't work. I thought for sure this would be the key. O well at least now I have the new version of G-mail.

Have you tried using a different ROM and using Titanium backup to restore the apps on your favored ROM?
Sent from my PC36100
I don't know if this will help you, but sometimes when I try to update an app it will download but won't install. I just go to the sd card with ES File Explorer under /download and the apk is there. Sometimes just clicking on the apk will install it. If not, I just delete the apk and redownload the update.
IDK if installing new apps saves a temp apk to this same folder, but you could look there to see if you have a bunch of apk's that failed.

That is a good idea. I will have to try that when it occurs with my phone. Better than nothing.

I have tried different ROM's with no luck. Also they are not even begining the download otherwise I would find the .apk and install it that way.

Are Twitter apps the "only" apks that wont install? If so, that is indeed perplexing. If you have the time, flash a different rom and see if you're able to install.
Try moving the app to /system/app then use root explorer to enable all permissions, then install.

Try moving it to the /system/app or /data/app
It seems its a widget, so that'll why its not showing up, if its on your sdcard.

well i already tried the system/app combo and fixing the permissions and that didn't work. will try the data/app combo wierd thi cause it should show up in the app drawer to open up the app
if you have Root Explorer (or Android Commander on your PC), navigate to /data/data and delete the com.twitter.android folder, and then try installing Twitter again. I had the same problem on CM7 and this fixed it (without having to completely wipe the phone)
Years weird thong I don't even have that folder anywhere in data/data

Tried installing new black market...now I have No market

So i tried doing the one for droid via rom manager and when I got into my phone there was no market. Then I tried to download the new version via apk and it installed but when I open it, it crashes with an error. I uninstalled it trying to install the APK of the black market and it fails.
What'd i manage to do to my phone and how can I get market back?
Is there some file it would of screwed up I need to uninstall?
Obviously I need a market
this is where the black market thread is http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1173880
Update, nothing f'ing works
I had this same issue on my gtab. The new market wasn't working for me so i removed it. Then the old market was crashing. To fix it I just reset the cache and data and it worked fine afterwards.

Here's a fun thing I did that I dont know how to undo
I removed market update using titanium backup thinking maybe it was an issue. Would just reinstalling the rom fix it?
Go to apps and themes and look for transparent market and flash it

You need to delete com.vending in data/app and vending.apk in system/app. Then flash this zip http://www.multiupload.com/8CONVCPOMT its not sneads version but its a nice dark one I found more compatible w/ our phones.
cd's or tapes?

I Did Something Dumb To Google Play...

I'll try to make this as quick as possible, with the Cola ROM the Google Play store is actually the old Market.
Which is fine but I wanted to upgrade to Google Play, so out of stupidity I went into titanium back up and deleted 2 files, something like marketupdater2.2.0 and something like market 1.0
now I went online and downloaded the newest version of google play but my concern is will google play update by itself now that I deleted marketupdater.2.2.0? This is probably a total noob question but did deleting the market oriented files harm my phone? Like am i missing a feature or the ability for google play to update?
-Thanks
It won't update. Here's what you can do.
-Download the whole rom zip file (don't need to flash)
-Extract the apk you've deleted
-Paste it in system/app
-Change permission
Done.

I actually went as far as to do a nandroid back up, everything was working fine until I installed DroidSail App2SD and moved some of my apps to the SD card, once i moved like my 1st or 2nd app to the SD card I got that message, also whenever I go to download something after it installs I get the message and it force closes on me...??

Hyperdrive rom Google search crash

I just installed Hyperdrive rls14 and Google search crashes every time I try to use it.
I've rebooted, reflashed the rom, clean flash, wiped everything, removed Google search with Rom toolbox and reinstalled it fresh from the Play store. Nothing seems to work.
I love the rom, and want to keep it. I use Googe now a ton though, so I'm stuck here.
Google search is a system app so if you use rom toolbox it will not delete it from the system. Using a root explorer go into system apps and delete it. Reboot, this reboot is very important to do. After rebooting the phone go back in using root explorer make sure it's still gone. Then redownload from play store and install.

That didn't do it, either. (I did learn something though,s o thanks
I just noticed that S Voice doesn't work, either. Since Google search uses voice recognition also, could it be an issue with that?
Did you check the MD5 Checksum of the Rom before Flashing ? I would suggest downloading the Rom again. Check the MD5 Checksum to verify a good DL. The Full Wipe, and Flash.

I am also having the same issue. I removed it from titanium backup and also root explorer. Nothing works. Also if I reboot the phone by using the power button it boots up but shows the nexus symbol. If I turn the phone sideways I can see half the screen. Any ideas?

You may be missing chaton or chaton v. I installed this app from the market, S-Voice calls on this app to work. You still needs to follow all the steps listed above to remove google now with a root browser. I used rom toolbox pro and that did the trick for me.
