On my Nexus 4 when i reboot it says "Unfortantly gaps has stop working." and my google play store doesn't work anymore after that when i try to open it it closes in an instance, i have seen tons of solutions on the internet and whenever i have tried one,my google play stores opens and works perfectly fine until i try to download an app instead of downloading it the google play decides to close,when i try to open it up it closes again.
Hope you can help me out
sincerly

Are you on a custom rom or stock?
Go to settings-apps and clear cache/data, then force stop. Reboot & try again.
If that didn't work, go to settings-accounts-Google-click on the email thing-settings (top right)- remove account. Then re-add your account and try what was failing earlier.

Wow, easy! Wait a bit.
Are you rooted?
Have you changed anything that could have caused the play store to misbehave like that?
Check in the settings of the play store, which version is it?

Ok, let's try this then: download and install the Play Store apk again; this isn't dangerous and shouldn't do anything but over-write the Play Store, however, it's software. Just a warning.
Unless someone else comes with a solution, you might have to root & flash a factory image (= back to stock).

Play Store not recognizing my Nexus 4 (rooted)

Ever since I rooted my Nexus 4 the Google Play Store is not recognizing it.
It has the stock ROM and i'm using Nova Launcher free version on it.
I used Wugfresh's tool kit to unlock the bootloader and root the phone. (http://forums.androidcentral.com/ve...s-root-toolkit-v1-6-2-updated-12-29-12-a.html)
Any suggestions?
I read in other threads that you had to install Gapps? But, those phones had a custom ROM on them, does that matter?
Thanks.

I've done that, still nothing.
Sorry, I should have clarified in op. I can access the google play store on my nexus 4 and I can download apps and everything.
It's when I try to access the google play store online through my desktop computer it doesn't recognize my nexus 4.

hi.. I am experiencing the same thing. except that it won't work.
Before unlocking the bootloader and rooting, my nexus 4 is recognized in the playstore via desktop.
After unlocking bootloader and rooting, the phone was mysteriously removed from "my devices" in the playstore via pc.
Another thing, when I enter, about phone, it says "Nexus 4". Is this correct? I have a feeling that it should say LG E960 instead.
What should I do? Reflashing and doing all the rooting stuff is my final resort, and I really don't want to do that.
Thanks!

Yes! It is Nexus 4 in about phone. Its weird if it says iPhone
I love my Samsung Galaxy S3 (GT-I9300) but I have found
a real phone for me, Google Nexus 4 (LG-E960), So awesome!
Hello I have the same issue, I did the clear data of the Google Play App and Google Services and still not appearing in My Account in Google Play in the PC? need some help please, this happen since Root the Phone, is just rooted not change in the ROM not Change in the Kernel
Same problem. Stock ROM, no flashing of anything, just rooted with SuperSU, and the device disappeared from the Play Store.
I solved this by unclicking "Enable Superuser" in the SuperSU settings, restarting my phone, force stopping Google Play Services and Google Play Store, deleting the data from same apps, opening play store and downloading an app.
I've no idea how much of that was necessary, or whether my device would have showed up eventually anyway. Also I haven't been at it long enough yet to know if my device will disappear again after I re-enable SuperSU.
Had the same issue, fixed it simply:
Open SuperSU > Settings > Uncheck Enable Superuser
Download an app from the Play Store.
Open SuperSU > Settings > Check Enable Superuser
Device showed up instantly after downloading an app from the device.
Im having this same issue, i have tried all the suggestions in this thread with no luck
same for me
I rooted my Nexus 4 and now it doesn't appear in the web play store either! Followed every solution, but it's still not there :crying: any help please?
After trying all of the above options my device was still not showing in the store. I went to this link.
play.google.com/settings
I clicked on one of my devices and clicked the update option this loaded my Nexus 4 onto the list it is now available on the web store.
Thanks everyone for the advice and I hope this helps people who are still having issues.

New rooted phone, not showing in online play store

I've just rooted my nexus 4 phone and now I can't see it when viewing the apps in the play store on my PC. The device isn't showing.
I'm new to android, so never done this before, I wanted to use the titanium backup app which needed root access. Not sure if this is meant to happen or not?
I am signed in with my account on both the phone and online. On phone I can see the apps I have purchased etc, but can't add new apps from the online store.

Power down the phone. press volume down and power button on the same time and you will get into bootloader mode, use volume to get in recovery mode. You will see android with a red exlclamation press volume up and hit power, then select wipe cache partition and hit power and reboot after the wipe.

Rooted phone, accidentally uninstalled Play Store, and now stuck without it

Hi.
Yesterday, I unlocked the bootloader and rooted my OnePlus 6T. I accidentally completely uninstalled Google Play. I still have the GP Services, Music, and Video on my phone, but Google Play has been completely removed. I've tried reinstalling from multiple APK sources, but every time I try to install anything, it crashes. It does not ask for permissions either. I've tried wiping my phone multiple times, but it still hasn't appeared.
Any solutions would be greatly appreciated. I could try reinstalling the OS through the same tool I used to convert it from the T-Mobile version to international. If that is the solution, then I'd appreciate if you let me know.
Thanks so much.
Have you tried the Msmtool? https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-6t/how-to/tool-6t-msmdownloadtool-v4-0-oos-9-0-5-t3867448
Since you already said you wiped multiple times, this tool should bring your phone back to fresh out of the box factory reset. You'll have to unlock the bootloader and root again if you go this route.
How did you remove the play store anyway? Some kind of app?

Alright, cool. Thanks, this is what I used to turn it from T-Mobile to international as mentioned. I'll do this when I get home.
And no I used a root file explorer, was trying to downgrade to previous version.

Hope it works for you , I believe it should be the easiest method. I think maybe using the same root explorer you can replace the play store, but there's some extra steps like settings permissions that I'm not all that familiar with so I'd just use the Msmtool if I was in your situation.

Oh sorry about that, I guess I read the OP a bit too fast.
Maybe try fastbooting the factory images before msm tool? Just thinking that way you could save your data from being wiped.

I did the same thing and was trying to restore it with TiBackup. But it did not do anything and I tried restarting, and it went to boot loader. Anyway I can save my app data?
