Apps from the samsung app market (not the one on your phone) are not compatible with the Galaxy S.

yea android packages are .apk, simple as

As mentioned elsewhere, the Samsung KIES marketplace doesn't have any Android apps, they are only Windows Mobile and Bada applications.

Google Playstore v 3.7.11 (Stripped from Jelly Bean 4.1)

Well, I just updated my Google Playstore app to v 3.7.11. So far, nothing significant changes had been done. Maybe because of my location right now. So, I'm not sure about others.
Anyway, here's the link for the app:

You are so lucky to get all those new features in Google Play.. No problem for updating any apps and games so far for me too..

How is it possible to tell if the install worked? I have run the apk, and it says it installed sucessfully, but there I cant really see any difference.
Do I have to put the apk file in a specific location or just run the install?

You can check the version at setting menu in Play Store.
Same as mine. Almost non changes except in Editor's choices UI..
Maybe because of region support. Some will receive like the 3rd post one.

[Q] Google Play Services is malfunctioning w / Elegancia ROM

Hi Everyone,
I have had the Elegancia ROM installed onto a HTC Velocity (Telstra) phone for about six months. Most features of the phone have been working smoothly, however recently there have been issues with the 'Google Play Services' (as shown below - unfortunately some of the message is cut off).

I 'successfully' updated the Google Play Service through the Play Store; here I have put successfully in inverted commas as whilst the install from the Play Store went fine, it ultimately had no affect and the error message kept appearing.
After trying to fix this through the Play Store I followed the steps below -
1). Went into Settings > Apps
2). Found the Google Play Service App
3). Cleared the cache for this App
4) Uninstalled the App
5). Rebooted
6). Downloaded the newest version of the APK from APK Mirror
7). Installed the downloaded APK
8). Rebooted the phone
Not only did the above procedure not improve the situation, but now when I click on error messages related to the Google Play Service I am ultimately presented with the message below -
If you have seen this issue before and know how to fix it can you please share with me? Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Kind Regards,
Davo

Had the very same problem. Am now running PAC 4.4.4 (current nightly build) and it is no longer a problem. I think ICS is just about obsolete.

I read somewhere that flashing the most recent gapps for ICS from recovery may fix the issue. I haven't tried it as I've given up on ICS in favor of kitkat.

There is no root method for the GS5 on Lollipop.

so does that mean we can't go to an earlier version and root that?

Unfortunately, no. This phone was only rootable on KitKat.

Thanks, and that's ok but not the best of corse, what I have been able to do because the most important thing for me was/is a GPS app I use and it/was a root only app for storage to the sdext for offline maps. I get a popup now that directs me to another window that has a "hint" to select "0000-xxxx" on the next page, then I can select the sdext for storage and the app uses it (very happy) and it seems to happen for other file transfer tasks. I do not know if the app made this possible or if its just native as this was the first app I installed but it's there in any event. so now when my game files get to big for some other task I wish to do I just move the app data file to the sdext and do whatever and move it back when done. Again not the best but livable as I really like the 5.1.1/OJ3 ROM that's on my G870A, good battery live with quick operation after installing the Pro version of Samsung Package Disabler . I really like this phone! And let's hope this new exploit they found for the Verizon phones turns into something!
I also contacted at&t and stressed how important rooting can be (as for me it's a safety issue as there's bad service in the rural area I'm in) and suggested they might even allow it for an extra fee/no or paid support for doing it. I'm not holding my breath.
Thanks again, now I going to put my KFHD back to 8.1.4 and see if I can get OTG to work as this 870 is all I need for gaming now that I got glasses, I'm an old fart (chronologically)

Could not install

I've a note 9 with adapter and the gear vr that fits it, running Android 10 but a lot of the apps I try to dl from the Oculus store come up with "could not install" after 100 percent, not all but most I'm trying to get the Jurassic world apatosaurus one for my son as I downloaded the other version that installed and he loved that but after uninstalling everything and reinstalling the Oculus app and drivers when I load that app up it's now saying please update oculas to the latest version, but I'm on the latest version?..
I've tried contacting Samsung who couldn't help they passed me onto customer service of Oculus who like Samsung didn't help..
Ideally I don't want to factory reset my phone again as like before it was a waste of time and didn't solve the problem, anyone got any clues how to fix this?..

When I try to install OCULUS ARCADE it tells me its an Oculus GO app. That might explain the error. If you have an old apk which works with GearVR you can try apk Extractor on it to generate an apk file which you can copy to your new phone. You probably need to sign the apk on the new phone. The app injector for GearVR could be helpful and it is easy to use. That are the steps I would try in this situation

@VR Wizard ...wow im asolutely blown away with ...like u said- it was the apk in oculus store that was replaced with version that left out support for older models -this applly to not all games just some ...so it has nothing to do with android version or samsung ui version or version of the installer thats crazy lazy
...so this is what i find out - repacked the working apks in S6 android 7.0 and instaled on s9 android10 and all the apps that gave error could not install now installed ok and i can play them now on my s9 thats crazy!!!!
