Google play music & movies no longer in market?

I am running stock ICS yakju build and I no longer see Google play music or movies in the market. Does anyone else in Canada or other regions see this. Seems weird for pre installed apps to no longer show. Especially for updating purposes.
Yes, I cleared cache and data etc...

I've pulled them from AOKP M4 for you.

I can still see Google Play Music in the Market but not if I do a regular search for it. I can find it under My Apps>All. It says that there is an update (v4.1.513) but when I try to apply the update it says "Update for Google Play Music could not be downloaded due to an error (940)". My installed version is v4.0.1.501. Running 4.0.1 yakjuux.

Still there for me on the LTE version. Running Codename Android 1.5.5 and Google Play 3.4.7.

In that case I would guess that the newest version is only compatible with 4.0.3 or higher. I presume OP is on 4.0.2, so my guess is that Google is blocking the new music app for incomparable ICS versions. Probably still works anyway if anyone so chooses to install the apk, just not tested fully.

I not that I don't have the newest version, its that it is no longer in my apps list, so when a new update comes out, it wont be in the market for me and presumably other canadians.
Can other people in Canada or anywhere outside the US check to see if it is still in their market?

Everything I can find that gives a version number says that the "new" upgrade is 3.6.8. If you recently purchased a new fire phone, you already HAVE 3.6.8. So, for those of us who got in on the $199 deal, we already have the update and we're getting nothing new at this time. I got all excited, but I already have 3.6.8.
You CAN sideload google apps (I can't get google photos, but I think that is a function of the underlying android os being 4.2.2). If anyone has an apk for google photos, I'd appreciate it. I couldn't find it on the play store.

In my experience, Photos comes along for the ride when you install Google+. If you haven't done that yet, try installing it; if you have, then chances are the Fire Phone isn't going to display it as a separate app (unless you use a custom launcher).

Android Wear version on smartphone VS version on Watch

So, I have updated Android Wear app in the PlayStore for version 1.4.0.2412408.gms
However, in my Huawei Watch, the Android Wear version is still 1.3.0.2176821 (Android OS 5.1.1).
Anyone knows why they are not the same? What am I missing? Is it because I don't have Marshmallow on my phone? or any other reason? "Let me know in the comments below. Peace ✌"

Everything is fine! The App didn't update the Wear OS. But App version 1.4.x indicates that there will be a Wear OS update soon. So stay tuned.

Pie update - Dreamview VR problem

I'm one of the few who's using their Z2 Force in Dreamview VR. Since after the update, Dreamview became all but unusable. The main Home interface is stretched wide (but Settings, for example, are displayed perfectly; third-party apps aren't stretched either). Library and Dreamview Dashboard do not work (displaying a black screen with "x" and the gear icons).
Of course I tried clearing Dreamview and Google VR Services data, even tried downgrading the app. Interestingly, downgrading the Dreamview app to the very old stock version makes things work; however, that old version does not open the VR Play Store.
In the Pie firmware, Motorola pre-installed Google VR Services 1.20 (released in February 2019). However, instead of distributing the matching version of the Dreamview app (1.20, also released in February), Moto bundled a very old Dreamview app version 1.16 (released back in June 2018). I'm kinda suspicious that they knew they were breaking VR.
Anyone tried VR in Pie?

I have the same issue. I'm considering reverting to 8.0.

Here https://forum.skybox.xyz/d/566-moto-z2-force-with-android-pie users report the problem is on Google's side (a recent update to Dreamview libs/services caused this even on 8.0). I tried uninstalling updates, but it seems they are loaded automatically the first time I set up Dreamview.

Ya I have a 04 TMobile version which I flashed the Brazil or Indian pie update (or a mix of both or a mix of all three) I can't remember at this point. Daydream is screwed up has anyone been able to find a fix? I'm currently looking into it I'll post if I can find the remedy

Possibly related to this?

Fixed by Google with Daydream app and Google VR Services update: https://www.reddit.com/r/daydream/comments/cxq5ox/daydream_app_dont_work_anymore/

Thanks for the tip.
This solved it for me.
