I can't get google play music to install. At first I was getting an error that the previous package was not signed. Please uninstall previous version. But I could never find it in my apps to uninstall. I manually deleted music.apk from system/app folder. Now I get an error that says the application is already installed but I can't find it anywhere. How can I manually remove this app without have to wipe my Xoom?

You uninstalled the basic music app. Not qoogle play music.
If you don't use the basic android music app, I'd just leave it out. With a file explorer like Root Explorer, go to data/app and find the Google music app. That is the one you need to remove. Delete the apk file and then go to Google play and install Google music. Hope this helps!
Thanks for the response. I went there, but I don't have a apk for music or google play music
Any other thoughts?

So I have google play music on my phone also, and I cannot find an apk for that either in data/app. Could there be another location for the file?
Do you have a tibu for your tablet?
I cannot think of any other location
Are you running ICS?
If so you might have Google music disabled.
You can find it in all apps in settings on the bottom of the list.
If that's not the case, verify that it is deleted from system/app and data/app. The file name is com.google.android.music-1.apk

I know this thread is over 3 months old, but I ran into this same issue on my Galaxy Nexus after updating the custom rom I am running. To fix it I downloaded the Google Play Music app from here, renamed it to com.google.android.music-1.apk, then used my file manager app (File Expert) to copy it from my Download folder to the /data/app directory. After changing the permissions on the APK to match the others in the same directory, I rebooted my phone to a working Play Music application. Hopefully this helps someone who also experiences this problem.
So I rooted a Kindle fire. Added Google framework. Put vending. Apk in system/app folder. I changed permissions. And installed it (I can now download apps and it goes nicely in the app manager for kindle). I tried to install gplay as the final step I get the error application not installed. I do not have a shortcut to get to Google play store. For me to run Google play store. I need to go in system/app directory reinstall vending. Apk and then I can go in app store immediately. Can someone tell me how to get a shortcut for this.

All you have to do is download gapps here: Google Apps or simply get the play store here: Google Play
Then all you have to do is open up a file explorer, navigate to /system, and open up the build.prop file. Next simply change ro.build.host to "vpak6.mtv.corp.google.com".
Reboot and the market should be working!

How to enable Google Now in Android 5.0 Lollipop in every country (where it says "Google Now in not available in your country) or (Google location reporting is not available in your country ) Root Required
You can skip this (there are thousands of changes in Android Lollipop, first thing you notice when you take a look at /system/app or /system/priv-app you can see the applications are not scattered apk's and odex files, now they are arranged in folders containing the corresponding odex and lib files).
I take no responsibility if you did something wrong
Let's start:
1- Install any third party launcher like Nova launcher and open it. Also you need any file manager with root capability ( I use X-plore file manager and in its configuration just enable root with read/write )
2- Download Google search 2.6.xxxx and rename it to Velvet.apk link: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23017610006233988
3- Now go to settings/apps/all and clear data for Google Search (this also will erase your setup for Google now launcher)
4- Open the file manager, navigate to /system/priv-app and backup (copy) Velvet folder with all its contents to a safe place in your SD card.
5- delete all contents inside velvet folder then copy Google search 2.6.xxxx (renamed as Velvet.apk) to velvet folder and check the permission is chmod 644, like the screenshot below
6- Restart you phone, and open Google search and tap Yes, I am in
7- After completing the Google Now setup, open the file manager and restore velvet folder (you backed it up) to it's original place in /system/priv-app (over write velvet.apk) and make sure that the 3 files in /velvet/lib/arm and velvet.apk permission is chmod 644, while the folders (velvet, lib, arm) permissions is chmod 755, like screenshot below.
8- Restart your phone and enjoy Google Now launcher with Google Now page

It doesn't work on Android 5.0.1
Many thanks
I can confirm it works flawlessly!
I tried it on GPE HTC One M8 running 5.0.1 and I can confirm it works. It was a little tricky though because there was almost no space available on the system partition, so I had to delete some system apps to free up some space for the mentioned operations. But thanks to this thread, I got my Google now up and running! Thanks guys!
Google Fit

I tried your app but it didn't help. I have working Google Now but apps like Google Fit not work because they need Location Reporting Enabled (which is not available in my country)
