Issues installing apps on 4.4.2 - Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I was able to successfully update to 4.4.2 using the house of moto method. I just found out that apps like skype, pandora, and iheartradio don't want to install after downloading at 100% they just stay there without installing at all. I was able to install clash of clans astro file manager and asphalt 8 airborne with no issues at all. Even when I go to the play store on my laptop it shows that skype is installed when it is not

Try to clear data/cache of Google play, Google play service, Google services framework restart then try to install the apps.

Cannot download some apps from Google Play Store

Hello,
So I have this issue that came up recently. I just got installed PA 4.4.4 and I'm unlocked and rooted. I'm trying to download apps from the play store but a lot of them (say more than 50%) just don't download. When I click install, it just says "downloading" and the progress bar just continues to flash but I never get how much is downloading and whatnot. Apps like pushbullet, reddit news, and ES File Explorer. Some apps just download fine and quickly. I can't seem to find a pattern between what apps I can download and what I can't.
Any ideas?
EDIT: It seems that if I look on the play store online (from the web) some of the apps I have trouble installing are listed as "installed". But there are some apps listed at "installed" and I can still download them.

This seems to be an issue with the Playstore. I've had this experience several times- ES Explorer for instance never downloads, so I just go to the estrong webpage and download directly from there. Regarding the installed listing, try clearing the data and cache in Settings- Apps- Google Playstore.
Play store is a part of the factory OS.. I would recommend a flash stock.. To reset your phone partitions.. If incomplete to it's original state

Google Play Store Crashing

Hi Everyone,
I am currently using the latest CM build 13 (07/07/2016) and having some issues downloading Snapchat.
When I click on Snapchat in Playstore it just crashes.
I have wiped my phone and freshly installed the build again and same issue occured.
I thought it might have been the G Apps i installed so using the G Apps Open and G App base from CM both provided the same result no change.
I downloaded the snapchat apk and installed it that way but when i try to launch it snapchat crashes.
I am running out of ideas has anyone else ran into this problem ?
Running Correct Date/Time, Removed Cache and Data from Playstore, Snapchat, Play Services.
EDIT: I had to format everything on my phone (Backed up data of course) this has resolved the issue not sure why though.
I know with the TF101 droid tablet, running certain custom ROMs requires you to format the internal storage with a certain version of TWRP, otherwise the Play Store will error out

Play store problem

Hello I am new there, I've bought an s4 i9515 value edition running stock 5.0.1
I already rooted using king root and immediately freezed Google play services cause I do not use or need it. The problem is that play store does not open without play services activated. So I deleted play store with king root from system in attempt to install latest version in hope to run without Pservices. Right when I tap to install a downloaded play store it shows that the store I deleted is still there so I have the option to upgrade. Right now I can open the store but I cannot download anything cause it stops working.
Is there any way to delete the stock store entirely from the system? I have used an root explorer and play store is not found on system/apps. Can any of you please give me a solution to be able to reistall a proper functioning play store? Thank you. (I intend also to be able to use any store without having to activate play services which drains battery power.)
You can't use the play store without the play services. So you can scrap that idea right away.
On my previous android 4.2.1 phone i was able to use play store with play services disabled and i have not even updated the services. Anyway i think i will keep 1mobile store as default so i deleted any google service from stock system. Anyway i have not even installed gapps on actual rom. Screw these 'services'.

Google Play Store stopped working when installing applications.

So basicly my google store stops working every time i click install on any application.Its like it crashes.I rooted my phone and blocked some applications because i thought i dont need them like KNOX and google movies or whatever.I had problem first that google play store was unable to connect to server.I changed this with etc folder changin some ip or whatever.But in the process one of the steps was to delete google play store and reinstall it so i did this then reinstall everything was good untill i tried to install a new application.The problem is not in proxy nor VPN i reset the phone with fabric settings clear chache,data on services store and framework , logget out and in on the google account enabled download manager and all the popular steps there are.I Think i screwed the google play store by reinstalling it and the system files and i dont know how to fix it.As i said my phone is rooted so if someone can guide me through fixing it.The problem with crash is mostly when i try to download app.Thanks in advance !
I suggest starting over by reflashing a stock ROM, flash TWRP, root, and then use titanium backup to freeze apps.

Hide app updates

I have a rooted nexus 6p and I'm trying to set it so google play store does not try to auto update my ad-free version of YouTube I have installed. Any ideas of how to hide YouTube from the installed apps list on the play store so I can "update all" without updating and breaking my ad free YouTube? 
I use ZipSigner from the Play Store to zipalign the apk.

You used to be able to do that with Titanium Backup--simply remove the link from the Play Store market but I don't think that function works anymore with any Google apps because Google wants them updated. You might need to keep reinstalling your preferred version of the app or not use update all.
