Updates

I have another question... Srry
Ever since I am using cm 5+ I am having problems with the google apps updating. I know I have to install the google addon with every cm update but I can never update the google apps after that. Is that normal? It always says update unsuccessful...
Other apps also seem to have troubles updating, but that could be for different reasons.
So once more is it normal for eg gmail not to update?
Thx

[Q] Update Amazon application store??

Hello. When I open my Amazon app store on my rooted kindle,
it asks me I've I want to update. If I do, will undo my root?
Thank you.

Yes always deny manual updates and I'm assuming you've already disabled OTA so you should be safe.

In my experience updating the Amazon App Store doesn't affect root at all, I usually manually update but have let it go ahead a few times from the update prompt & nothing has happened in regards to losing root, BTW I'd already ran the OTA scripts.
Anyway, if you want to you can manually update the App Store by getting the latest APK from here - http://www.amazon.com/gp/mas/get/android/ref=mas_rw_ldg

umm did you install it as a normal apk?... I think it is your problem, so using Root explorer or whatever you want put phonesky.apk (googleplay.apk) in system/app/ and set the correct permissions and reboot

Do not uninstall the stock play store app provided in any rom. If you wanna update it, just install the latest apk as an update to the existing older version. If you remove the older version using titanium backup, root explorer, etc., you are bound to get force closes. Donno why. Uninstall the existing play store. Try to flash the latest gapps and then install the latest play store. If that doesn't help, reflash the rom.

I saw, through lucky patcher, that i haven t got any play store's odex file; i don t know what this means, but..any possibility that this is my problem's reason?
Sent from my DROID4 using Tapatalk 4 Beta

Its not really a problem if you Lucky Patcher to install it as it makes its own odex file for the play store.
Make sure you install the -original- play store --first-- and then if you feel the need to install the modded do that.

Google play services

Can someone tell me which version google play services you have installed. I installed the wrong update and can't uninstall it. Thanks!

I have version 7.0.99 which is the correct version. Did u install your Google Play services thru the Play Store?

No I downloaded the latest. I'm too used to having a nexus....

And I need the last three numbers of the version number

I have been told that I think it needs to end in 440,,can someone else verify this? Downloading the wrong play services will cause all kinds of problems.
If you go here
http://www.apkmirror.com/
they usually update pretty fast just make sure you look at the notes for what play services to install.
