Play Store keeps crashing. - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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?

[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:

Man, I know this is going to sound stupid but are you using the correct version of GApps? I flash numerous roms and have numerous versions of GApps. I do IT and sometimes you just have to walk through every step if all else has already failed. Its obviously a software issue since you can do other things with the table. I hope this helps.

com.google.process.gapps Has Stopped

com.google.process.gapps keeps saying it has stopped. I flashed some gapps from goo manager because the play store kept crashing whenever I opened it and I thought it would fix the problem. Ive tried everything from clearing all the cash, clearing the data from all google apps... Nothing worked. It also seems to be a problem the network connection as the wifi bars are gray but not blue. I am able to load pages in chrome but for some reason the play store doesn't connect to the Internet. Help please !!!

I presume you use a custom rom, the best thing to do a full wipe and reflash the rom and gapps.

I figured out that GooManager gave me gapps for 4.2.1 so the process issue was fixed when I manually flashed and found gapps for 4.2.2 . Google play still continued to crash whenever I opened it so I went into the settings and uninstalled updates, that seems to also be fixed now but sadly I cannot use the nicer play store

[Q] play store FC's

HI,
suddenly today, my play store stopped working - "unfortunately, google play store has stopped" is the message.
iv'e tried the following:
1. clear data (and cache) + force stop + disable goggle play store (from settings->app).
2. same as 1, but to the play services (and also uninstall updates for play services).
3. checked that download manager is enabled, and tried to disable-enable it.
4. uninstall and reinstall play store.
5. factory reset.
nothing works!!!
the closest i got was when i disabled-enabled the download manager, the play store didnt immediately stop - it was supposedly updating apps, but made no progress, and after couple of minutes it stopped again.
WHAT DO I DO?!
please, i really need your help
Do you by any chance have Swiftkey installed? I've read that is causing problems with gapps...

[Q] Lost Google Play Store!

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

Flash a stock or custom rom to reinstall Google Play and Services/Framework.
Yep that worked! Thanks a million!
