I reflashed the stock firmware on my Note 5 a few days ago, I completely wiped the phone before doing that, I installed GApps and now I can't download apps from the Play Store (the progress bar keeps saying 'downloading').
I tried everything, reinstalling the Play Store/Play services, removing and readding my account, giving the Play Store permissions, cleared the data for the download manager but nothing. Does anyone know what to do?
You shouldn't flash gapps on stock based Samsung firmwares. Wipe the device, flash stock, boot and see.

I have searched and tried everything that has been posted. I cannot seem to get google play to work. I accidentally uninstalled it using Titanium Backup (was trying to uninstall the update) I did not have a TB of it to restore. what i have done so far.
1. Rooted
2. factory reset(Market was not installed after reset)
3. downloaded google play apk and intstalled
4. open play and it will FC with process com.android.vending has stopped.
i am on stock ROM and FRYO 2.2 T-Mobile version
I have tried to install a stock ROM and see if a fresh install of a new ROM would bring back GP but i cannot get past step one to get CWM to install. So all i need right now is to get Google Play to work so i can get this back to norma.

I did not find a solution to fixing the non-working play store but I did finally get the flash to upgrade to GB and all is working again.
have you try installing gapps??
try flashing gapps from cwm, you can grab gapps for froyo here: http://goo.im/gapps/gapps-mdpi-20110501-signed.zip
you must first unistalling any google app apk that you have manually install before, then go to cwm then update your gapps
goodluck.

I tried that but it wouldn't I tall either. I believe it said problem phrasing the app during install. I finally got GB installed and it works now.

Hi,
I am really frustrated, after a factory reset of SlimBean 2.8, which rebooted to often, I have the described problem on my Nexus S.
I tried the above ... one of the steps of the first method described the change of DPI, I guess that is the first value you can change in the "developer options" > "LCD density" to a higher DPI ... reboot and other steps ... didn't work. The second method with clearing cache and dalvik then reinstalling OS and Gapps rebooting, then clearing data of play store and service ... reboot ... still same problem.
Then I installed the latest playstore from an APK file ... after that it tells me my device is not supported (tough it used to run on the device).
If I can't fix this, I'll switch to Cyanogen or stock possibly ROM, though I really like the SlimBean features.
Any further clues before I do this?
Thanks & regards
Joe
So I rooted my friends X8, and flashed a custom rom two weeks ago. The only problem was the Play Store crashing (he also has stock kernel because as far as I'm aware newer X8's can brick if you try to flash a kernel), I've only installed ROM's with stock kernel support. I've deleted Dalvik Cache and Cache. I've flashed that same ROM twice again, it would work for a couple of minutes, then start bugging out again. I've tried a different ROM, every time flashing following the standard procedure, full wipe before install. I've tried downloading the newest gapps and flashing them (while wiping cache). I've also tried downloading the market .apk, the new one, some of the older ones, nothing. I've tried wiping Play Store cache and data, I've tried wiping cache and data of other Play Store "sub-applications", like some market helpers etc. Some of these worked, but only for a couple of minutes. The last time what I did was I changed the theme in the theme chooser, which worked for an entire day. But it happened again. I tried installing a different home launcher, no dice. Has anyone encountered such a problem/found a fix/workaround/solution?
What happens is, you browse the playstore normally, but if you try to download an app, it stops mid download, says "android.process.media has stopped" or "android.process.*playstore or something like that, cannot recall it correctly* has stopped"
Android version is 4.0.4.
Please, does someone know what to do? Every other thread I've seen, I've tried everything they recommend, didn't help...
Android 4.0 is not so much stable for stock kernel..
So it would be better it you flash gingerbread on it...

I've recently re-flashed to cm12 nightly 4/2. The play store always says "Check your connection and try again". I've tried all the things I can find on the forums. Anyone know how to fix this?
Factory reset, flash cm11, boot up, flash cm12, flash gapps
Factory reset, flash cm11, flash gapps, boot up, flash cm12, flash gapps
run all clear cache etc
force stop play services / store, delete all user data
create new google account
drink
What's really weird is things like gmail, etc, are syncing. When I search for something in the play store I'm getting search matches while typing, but nothing comes up if I hit search.
Have you tried a different gapps? And do you have the gapps for proper Android version?
Also, you can try deleting data on play store, play services and Google services framework. Then reboot. Try again.
But a different gapps package can sometimes do the trick. And again, must be the gapps made for the Android version you're flashing.
Is your custom recovery up to date?
Apparently i needed the google services framework cleared.
Thanks a lot!!!
Hi,
I just flashed Carbon ROM (by @hassanjavaid8181).
Always getting Google play services stopped error.
How can I fix that?
p.s 1: I flashed Gapps right after flashing rom.
p.s 2: I did wipe cache and dalvik cache too, but the problem still remains.

It didn't fix that.
Thats a rom specific issue , probably not all permissions are given
Clean flash is recommended.update google play services manually
