I have this problem now since the other day. I can seem to install not all the apps I want to install from Play Store. For example, I can install Titanium Backup but not Solid Explorer Beta. I can perfectly browse the internet through my phone though. Why is this?
Had tried clearing cache and data of Google Play Store and Google Services but still no avail. Tried inputting account details from the Play Store directly but still the same problem. I finally I had done a clean install of CM9b1 with no any extra tweaks nor mods added but sadly problem is still there.

LOL mate,chill..Too many questions there that i can't really answer it lol.Ok,I am creating my first custom rom here.And i just copy and paste in the system/app directory then i repacked the cm9 based rom and flashed to my phone to test it and the play store crash.What could be wrong here?

Just install googleplay.apk from outsource ,works. :beer:

It cause by the google play have a strict policy on collecting info about every detail information regarding phone we use to make sure every app we download will 90% compatible with our phone. Every single phone already been registered on google play database
such as:
1. Phone model
2. Procesor
3. Ram
4. Kernel
5. Stock rom
So when we change rom, google play doesnt recognise our device anymore because on google play database our phone doesnt exist.
As example:
Goggle play data:
1. Samsung galaxy w:
a). Stock rom; gingger beard 2.3.6
We change the rom as follow:
2. Samsung galaxy w:
a). Stock Rom: Cm9 mod
As mention above google play not knowledge our phone anymore that's why it'll reject our request to download or update app. Bcause on google play database samsung galaxy w rom should be gingger beard not a cm9 mod

Like i said above to make google play work again we somehow have to make our Cm9 rom to be recognise by google play.
And all the tips i say above maybe somehow make google play think my cm9 rom are gingger beard 2.3.6 with lil modification that google play still tolerate it.
Have u try my tips above?
Or u can try install google play from out sources. But whatever the cases its a very complicated system.
See the global picture "U must make ur phone as similiar as the Base phone model, so google play can recognise it"

though one to accomplished

1. Very nice job mate. To repackaged n built ur own.
2. Its very hard task to do mate:
a). U must have a complete knowledge on how cm9 been built (which is i'm sure, its very complicated things)
a.1). To actualy gain it. You must comunicate with the builder in this case arco68.
a.2). After u got the knowledge then u must re-code the program (google play) behaviour in order to make it able to run on cm9.
3. Without those above. I dont think it can be done. Because google is a system on rom base. It cant stand alone like others app. U can't just put it on system n hopes it'll works. U must make it united with the system first.
Hope this could answered your question

thanks

Its easy mate, see bellow:
A) What ROM do u use?
a.1). If Stock Rom. Just do factory data reset. But make sure u do back up data first. Since all data will lost.
a.2). If CM9 Rom, do have any back up data before u install d google app? If any just restore it via CWM recovery
a.3). If CM9 rom not have nandroid back up. Im very sorry u need to re-flash CM9. Wipe cache/Wipe dalvik cache/Wipe batere/Fix permision/install CM9/Instalk Gapps.zip. there i bet ur google play will run smooth as ever. And if u still can't downloaded app via gplay. I suggest u can follow my tips above, if still not do. Try emptying ur apn proxy n port. Or deleted ur gplay account then re-add it.

[Q] i only need Playstrore..Nothing more

guyz..plz help me with this..
i am currently on cm beta 3 and i did'nt flash the gapps so as to free more space on my internal storage (as i don't use all gapps daily).
i believe i only need PLAYSTORE..
anyone help me have a playstore (only this gapp i need) on my phone without flashing all of ics-gapps???
-salute!

Hi reinjoy....I'm no dev so I can't answer whether it's possible to separate the (g) apps....but I'm fairly certain you need more than just play store...you have to have a Google email account set up before you can even access play store.....also it is the developers intent to keep our phones as free of bloatware as possible, so it's my guess that whatever is included in GAPPS is there because it needs to be there.....maybe a Dev can confirm this?.....idk, just my guess....

@ keith:
i appreciate your attention on my concern..
its just that i already tried your link provided but to no avail..i already followed every suggestions in it still i did'nt find my answer..
i hope a dev or some other people could help me on this matter..
i don't hate gapps, but i just don't have time on those other things..only i care for Playstore and nothing more..
cm beta3 + playstore is more than what i need..no other gapps included, only playstore..
should there be anyone who could lend a hand on this, kindly share it?

i downloaded the playstore v3.8.15 and indeed its an apk..
first i installed it as a normal apk---failed (opens for a second but eventually closes itself).
secondly, i put it on my system/app, changed permissions, rebooted--- same, failed..(opens for a moment, then closes)
keith, if someday and somehow you managed to install playstore alone without the presence of other gapps, please do share..
tnx..
waiting patiently for help..

Can I make a suggestion......download the full GAPPS package, then use either Titanium backup or Gemini app manager to (initially) freeze the bits you don't want, then delete them after you've seen whether they cause instability (with play store) or not by being frozen....

Yes mate...that's exactly how I'd do it......but bear in mind that some if the Google stuff MAY be system and MAY affect more than just Play Store....be careful.....if you aren't sure what it does, leave it active...

seems like challenging.. i hope you will remember me when you get bumped on this same matter..
however, im going to get myself busy screwing things up regarding this matter..

Your answer is at this post.
there is a rom at the development section (the second Paranoid one) the guy who cooked the rom first gave a special gapps which only had Play store.
as you can see here i ask him about the gapps.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=32591368&postcount=5
and he answers as just you asked.
maybe you can ask him for the gapps he used.

Why use Gapps zip?

Why use a gapps.zip when one could just download the Google apps from the play store, which are also more up to date? Am I missing something?

Well Gapps contains the Play Store, so you would kind of need it to download the rest of the the gapps
It also has other stuff like the Google account setup that you don't normally get
Btw it's not included in AOSP rom's because it's not open source
Hope that gave some clarification and press thanks if I helped!

[Q] How to change Superuser app?

Hey guys,
I'm running the latest carbonrom 11/17 nightly. I was thinking about using koush's superuser app, to use it, do i just have to install it from the play store? ore is there something more I have to do?

you can download it from the play store, or alternatively you can use his flashable zip from the link on the play store page in the description field. Play store would be the easiest way.

The stock browser in this ROM is the best one I have ever had on my grand. Even at 182 DPI it works fine. Try a clean installation!

Sorry for the inconveniences people. But I have a problem with the ROM.
Everything works fine BUT when trying to log into Google ( the accounts manager force closes).
I used the provided GApps Link and Downloaded the Mini Modular pack. Any suggestions.
Shall I download any other pack?
(PS:I tried stock GApps also. Results were worse)
