[Q] Lost Google Play Store! - Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So I rooted my S5 today and everything went well. I backed up my downloaded apps (not system apps) with titanium backup. I then got the cracked version of the Google Play store. I eventually decided against it and went to uninstall it and accidentally uninstalled the Google Play store! I have tried to reinstall the apk file but it just crashes on start-up every time. Finally, I tried to factory reset and the app still did not appear. I am at a loss and I have tried every solution I have come across and nothing works. Please help

[Q] Play store closes when starting

Hi all,
My play store will not open after updating my PA Rom from 4.2.1 to 4.2.2. I did a full wipe and factory reset before updating, but when I flashed the new rom and google apps the play store just simply shows a white screen and closes after a second - no error message or anything.
I've tryed clearing the data for Google Play Services, the Play store app itself, and disabling it and rebooting multiple times and still nothing. I've also tried reflashing the google apps package and redownloading it, and still nothing. Lastly, I uninstalled the play store app via TB and reflashed the google apps package and that did not work, either.
Running Paranoid Android 3.15 Android version 4.2.2 Grouper. Do you guys think it's an issue with the rom, maybe? I couldn't find anything in the development thread leading me to think no, so I'm guessing it's just my device.
I searched around for a bit and found something about the vender.apk - but not much help on that. Thanks in and advance - any other help would be appreciated.
just reinstall everything including the rom and do a factory reset.
Maybe you could try flashing Google Apps for 4.2.2 :fingers-crossed:

Unfortunately, Google Play Store has stopped.

Hello XDA Team,
I'm facing a problem right now and needs your help,
I rooted my Galaxy S4 with Kingo Android ROOT, after rooting I installed titanium backup and then I removed built-in appz mean gmail, earth, sbrower, which are installed in phone from the samsung. Samsung's official appz. So, I removed them via titanium backup, but while removing I suddenly removed play store app and I had not any backup of it. After then I regret over it. As a matter of fact, I wanted to remove blotware from my S4 but instead of removing them, I removed appz using titanium backup without taking any backup. But then I installed play store again, and when I opened it, it opens for a little while and then hangs and suddenly shows an error, "Unfortunately, Google play service has stopped".
Since then, Its been showing this error. I've installed many other version of play store but problem never solved. I un-root my phone as well and then checked but problem was same. I clear the cache, reset the preferences but nothing solve my problem. Everything else going fine and ok but whenever I opened play store it shows the error and return back to home screen. It was mine obsession that in this way I could remove blotwares but I didn't succeed. I hope XDA team can help me to retrieve my play store back as before.
I'm sure they'd help me.
Hey, I have the same problem with Nexus 5, any ideas?

If you haven't already got a recent backup, take one now.
Then you can reinstall firmware which will bring back the Play Store and everything else. Use Mobile Odin to retain root, or use desktop Odin and root once firmware is installed.
Give it time to catch up (it will probably need to download latest versions of the system apps) then, once it is all settled, you can restore your missing data from the backup.
If that doesn't work, repeat but do a factory reset too. You'll lose all your data stored on your internal memory so take copies if it is important.
**Try clearing the temporary of Play Store and Play Services.. ** Sorry didn't read all the way

[Q] Help!! Titanium ROM Merge Killed Google Play Services on Rooted Sprint Galaxy S5

Hi, I rooted my new Sprint Galaxy S5. Everything was working fine. Then stupidly, I was tinkering with Titanium Backup and decided to batch merge all app updates into ROM.
Since then, Google play services crashes. So does S Health. I tried a full factory reset, but same problem. Play store crashes immediately and I can't log in to Google or use any Google apps that require Play Services. Then I did a factory reset. It didn't help. Now I don't even have access to Titanium backup!
Any step by step advice would be appreciated!! Thanks!

I'm kinda in the same boat... I rooted, recovery and then a ROM but soon after I started having problems with Google play services constantly crashing and unable to send text and the dialing touch tone having issues as well. I did go back on my nandroid backup and all is well except that I lost functionality on my bluetooth headset ... Now I'm thinking about factory reset and placing back original stock FW
I finally solved it by installing Kies3, doing a system software update and reinstalling all my backed up apps. Seems to be working fine for the last week. A close call...

Play Store keeps crashing.

I tried installing Blackout Play Store which is a themed app. I backed up Play Store uninstalled it and flashed the Blackout one. It worked for a while then started crashing every time I tried to download anything. (mind you I also installed Blackout hangouts, calendar, gmail, dropbox and all work fine only the Play Store crapped out) I then uninstalled and restored from backup but now it keeps crashing all the time. I cannot even open it without getting "Unfortunately, Google Play Store has stopped working." and I get that sometimes even if I'm not using/opening it. I tried disabling, reinstalling, reflashing, disabling/enabling, clearing data/cache of both store and services and also updating.
I would like not to reflash my ROM so is there a way of fixing it without having to do that?

Problem with google apps

I rooted my GT-I9505 lollipop 5.0.1 last week. After that I installed lucky patcher and modded google play store. Everything was fine, then I decided to uninstall the modded play store and installed the original one. After I did this my phone updates 5 apps on every boot. I guess these are the google apps, because after the installation of the original play store my google apps crashing even I dont use them. Many times youtube keep crashing, maps also and earth.
Someone has a solution for this?
edit: also my phone crashes sometimes when it's on around 10%
Reinstall the stock ROM. You may also need to factory reset your S4.
