Need help making play store work - Lenovo Vibe K5 Plus Questions & Answers

Hello guys I am facing a strange problem with play store from a few days. I cannot update or download apps from playstore, it says downloading and stays there forever. I have tried countless tips/tricks but nothing works. Here are the things I have tried(not in order):
Clearing cache and data of play store+services+download manager, re flash gapps, re flash ROM, flash new ROM, change DNS, use vpn, trying different G-accounts, downloading on 3g, 4g, different wifi hotspots. Now I am really frustrated because nothing works. And I am not comfortable with downloading apps from other sources. My device is Lenovo K5 plus (AOKP Nougat).

CM11 + Latest GApps, Play Store Crashes

So i am at a bit of a problem here and i cant figure it out.
I have installed both CM11 from 04/24/14, and tried the 4/08/14 Experimental build, both with the latest GApps zip file for CM11 from
http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Google_Apps
The install seems to go fine, CM11 works, i can get wifi, connect to google account, gmail, internet, hangouts everything works..
Except Play Store...it crashes every time. Ive tried everything i can think of, those things include
Run the installed one from Gapps, it starts and i can see the initial disclaimer i have to accept then it crashes.
Download Google Play store apk and push it via ADB install, doesnt load.
Use GAppManager, the instant i select a version of GApps to install it crashes.
Try flashing an earlier version of GApps(For ICS) from KFFAide, doesnt work..
Go into Apps, find Google Play store that comes from the flashed GApps and clear its cache...
Ive tried flashing just CM11, booting it, then going back into TWRP and flashing GApps
Tried clearing dalvik/system and every other TWRP wipe except internal
Im really out of ideas...any help would be great nothing i do seems to do it...
I also tried flashing back to a version of 10.2 Experimental for KF HD but it just fails immediately when i try.

Try the GAPPS from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2397942 find which ones you want to use and then choose goo as the download place. Then get a slightly older Gapps. I'm using a set from 1-23-2014 and have had zero issues. They will update anyway so having today's 0 day Gapps is not a huge deal. If you want mini Gapps, here is the link http://goo.im/devs/paranoidandroid/roms/gapps-mini/older versions

I've been using the latest GApps ("stock" experience) from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2397942 and it works great. It will error out some apps the first time with a notification that you must update Google Play Services to continue. Sign in and update Google Play Services through the store and everything works like a champ.
A bonus of using the PA GApps package (if you want all those apps at all) is that they install to /system and don't use up as much /data space. Maybe not an issue for many, but every little bit helps right?
Keep in mind that the "stock" (i.e. Nexus-esque) package will remove the AOSP Browser, Messaging, and Keyboard. As long as you're good with Chrome, Hangouts, and Google Keyboard, this (again) saves you storage. If you prefer the AOSP apps, read the thread for how to keep them or install one of the other packages from the thread.
It turns out the issue is unrelated to Google apps, ANY application i use and try to download with will crash.
Try to grab an attachment from Gmail, crash
Try to download a file via Chrome, crash
Try to download via Play store, crash
I have no idea what the hell is causing this ive checked my Download and Downloader apps they are both running, ive tried restarting them, disabling them, and many other things...
At this point how do i return my Kindle to a "Stock" Kindle Fire HD as if i bought it from the store?
I may need to return it, im wondering if this is a hardware issue? Doesnt make sense though because everything else seems to work, i can go view internet stuff so the wifi isnt bad, and i can copy files to it via USB so the storage isnt bad...

Try flashing a slightly older KitKat Gapps http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2579123 If you want to go stock then use the system restore tool http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2011126 Use the stock USB cord.

Lenovo Vibe Shot (Z90-7 or Z90a40) Google Play Services update 7.3 problems

Hi,
I have a BIG problem updating the latest Google Play Services 7.3 on my Lenovo Vibe Shot Z90a40. The update pops up every 5 seconds and if I try to run it it will download, but not install, resulting in a 505 error. I've tried all the tips to solve this, restarting, setting date/time, clearing cache, clearing app data, stopping download manager, etc. Nothing helps. I've turned of notifications on Google Play Services, but the update request goes on nagging me. How can I stop this or get the update installed? Using Z90a40_S118_1505272008_ROW rom version (Android 5.1)
Please, are there more people experiencing this problem? Any solutions? :crying:

Google play store stuck at downloading

Hi everyone, my lg g4 h815p was working with marshmallow and I wanted revert it to lollipop for root. Now google play store downloads stuck at downloading or at some percentage (for example %91). Also it gives an error 489. Sometimes it can download 1 or 2 apps but again stuck for next app. Yes, I have ****ty wifi but there was no problem before now and my brother can download apps using the wifi with his phone.
I tried clear cache/file google play store, google play services, download manager and deleting my google account and adding it again. Also clearing google play store updates and trying to download with mobile data instead of wifi didn't work. For example when it is stuck at %72, if I turn off and turn on wifi or turn on mobile data, sometimes it continues downloading and the app is installed but this doesn't always work. Finally, I did a factory reset, reset my modem and change dns to google dns also installed the lollipop kdz again with LGUP didn't solve the problem. I thought that Adaway blocks google play store somehow, disabled and uninstalled it also didn't help. Last, I want to say that my lg g4 was working with no problems with the same lollipop kdz and rooted 2 months ago.

its impossible to understand what you are trying to do there. Marshmallow isn't rooted ?
Anyway , since you are rooted, just flash new gapps in recovery or use flashfire and flash them.
I don't understand what the problem is and you want lollipop that bad and i don't know where exactly the play store error is since i don't have a logcat to show the error, but reflashing gapps will solve it.
My phone's bootloader is locked. I'm just installing the stock h815p lollipop kdz with LGUP, I don't have recovery/TWRP . After rooting it, I installed Xposed with Flashfire. My problem is that I can't download apps from google play store. Everything is working perfect except play store issue.

flash new gapps with flashfire. you don't need a custom recovery.

I installed the stock lollipop kdz again. After 15 minutes when I looked into the installed apps there was latest version of the google play store but the google play services version was old. So, I downloaded the latest version of the google play services apk and installed it manually. After restarting the phone, the issue was fixed. Thank you for your help.

nope. anytime. But you could directly do what i said and flash gapps from flashfire, there was no need to reflash kdz and waste time looking for the problem

Play Store doesn't install anything

Hello everybody,
I was on Fulmics 6.1 and everything was fine. Then I updated to Fulmics 6.6 and the Play Store did not manage to download any app. I tried to go back to Fulmics 6.0, I wiped everything, tried to delete the play store cache and data but the problem seems to persist...
are you getting any error? could be an issue with your wifi connection.. have you tried using your mobile data connection?
I have performed several tries in meanwhile...
Some apps get downloaded, but others won't. It doesn't really seems to be related to the size of the app.
Sometimes the error 495 appears. I have tried to disinstall the play store updates, delete the data and cache, and so for the download manager and google play services. The problem appears even on mobile phone data.
I'm using Aptoide to replace the Play Store but it isn't really the best solution
are you having the same issue with the fulmics 5 and cm13 too?

No, I haven't tried Fulmics 5, only 6.0, nor CM13 (I don't wanna change the baseband, I could make more damages D: )
I have tried using another wifi and some apps that I couldn't download on my wifi got downloaded, but there are still apps that can't be downloaded in any way...Everytime appears the 495 error that I can't resolve with the usual fixes...

Google Play not installing or updating apps

Hello, I am with Lineage OS (19-20230130-NIGHTLY-gauguin) and for about a week Google Play has stopped working.
It opens normally but when trying to install or update it gets stuck in downloading and then goes to failed. I have enough memory space and haven't made any changes to the device other than updating Lineage OS from time to time via the built-in updater.
I have installed Aurora market and connect it to my google account but the same thing happens when I try to install or update an app: it stays downloading and then fails.
Things I've tried, without success:
- Clear cache and data from Google Play, Google Play Services and download manager.
- Uninstall updates in the Google Play app.
- Uninstall the app from Google Play by fastboot and reinstall it.
- Remove my Google account from the phone and put it back in and sync it.
Any ideas?
Could you figure out where it fails? Perhaps it's "just" the network:
I have an adblocker on my router and lately I couldn't login into several sites properly until I switched from WLAN to mobile.
Alternatively you could try
https://f-droid.org/en/packages/com.aurora.store/
It's like Google Play Store without the need for an account.

Thanks for your response. It shouldn't be the network because I'm able to navigate properly. Anyway, I tried both wifi and phone data with the same result. Also, it started happening just a week ago and I have been using the same connection all the time so I would discard it be network related.
Aurora I tried already and gave the same problem as Google Play.

Indeed it's weird... I thought it could be an issue like this but in my case I didn't do an upgrade to a higher LineageOS version, just normal updates.
BTW I love your username

Hang on a second, just tried my FP3 which was on 20230123 and updates working (there was one: Android Auto). Now updating to 20230130 and checking again...
Still updating...
Someone in that reddit link mentioned mindthegapps... I vaguely remembered that I was slightly annoyed/confused with the directions given in the LOS wiki:
OpenGApps vs MindTheGapps
https://wiki.lineageos.org/gapps
Finally decided to go with MindTheGapps... do you recall your choice?
Ah, it finally finished updating: Aurora is up and working (at google translate installed like a charm and works).
