Unable to install Gapps (not Cyanogenmod) - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have an i9502 dual-sim S4. This was only sold in China so it does not come with Gapps. I'm on rooted stock 5.0. When I install the Gapps package, gmail (the only preloaded google software) gets updated but nothing else gets installed. This happens with most of the gapps packages I've found (all for 5.0) With one of them I got an error of not enough partition space. What am I missing?

its mine problem too ... bcz its stock room! did u find any answer?:crying::crying:

Unfortunately not. Installed the apps needed without playstore using apk's and thankfully don't need google services on this phone. Long-term solution is to change the phone at this point.

It's because the gapps that you try to flash is to big for your partition.

Select the 5.0 and then the pico. That file is only 40 mb and should probably flash. If not, then first delete some system apps.

[Q] HELP! Galaxy S4 on MF3 | Play Store Crash

Hey, everytime I open my Google Play Store (which I had to get from the internet) it opens for a while, until I try to download something and then is crashes. After it crashes by trying to download something and I try to re-open it, it just crashes on startup and I get a message saying "Unfortunately, Google Play Store has stopped." So this has been happening since yesterday when I used Clean Master to clear up some space on my device, I also link some apps to play using Titanium Backup (don't know if that has anything to do with it) and I attempted to uninstall Google+, and was successful also I applied a custom patch to the Play Store when it worked using lucky patcher. I searched everywhere on the internet and the only solutions i could find are:
1) Clear Play Store and Google Play Services Caches.
2) Enable Download Manager (Which I can't seem to find but I'm not entirely sure on that one so I'll post screenies)
The download manager shown in the screen cap below has no enable or disable option with it)
3) Wipe Android Device completely (Which I did and problem still persisted)
4) Re-Flash ROM. (Which I also did and the problem still continues
So, Im on a completely stock firmware and as soon as I finish going through the setup process feeling relieved I see a notification in my notification shade from the calendar app stating that Google Play Services isn't enabled or something and when I click on the notification the phone fumbles for a second and then the calendar app crashes. After a few minutes, while I was searching for answers, I got my email notifications and everything seemed to be fine. UNTIL I installed the Google Play Store once again, only to have it open and my first attempt to download an app made it crash. And now I'm back to square one. I cannot find "Download Manager" at the bottom of my application list. But I do have two applications under "D" in the App Manager, both called "Downloads".
I'm able to install APKs off the browser just by downloading and installing as normal, and my accounts seem to be working fine. Except the error in the google account "sync error" followed by a message at the bottom of the screen saying sync services are currently unavailable. I'm able to use Youtube and other apps easily without a problem. The only problem is my Play Store. And yes I've already re-cleared the cache and even just cleared the data from both play services and play store in application manager. Problem still persists.
Previous Errors:
1) Device is not provisioned data services error (Which I assume I've fixed because I don't get that error anymore)
2) Google Play Services not supported by your device. (Whenever I opened Youtube, but that doesn't appear anymore)
I'm really out of options this time, I was stumped after I factory restored with ODIN successfully and still was unable to fix my problem. Could this be a Google problem or am I screwed? Really need answers, so THANK YOU VERY MUCH in advance.

UPDATE: I was also able to find my "secdownloadprovider.apk" in my system/app but when I click install is says application not installed...
P.S: If there are any files you would like me to search my device for please say so, I'm becoming really desperate.
New problem
Okay so I decided to wipe the phone once more and re-install the ROM (Which is a stock MF3 ROM that I got from XDA) and the problem still continues, I've been up all night trying to figure this out. Now apps like Google+ (Which I hade to install from the internet on my device) say that the Google Play Services on my device is not supported by my device? What does this mean? It used to happen with the newest version of youtube, now im currently using the old version of youtube which has no problem, and im pretty sure if i were to update it id get the same error. Someone pelase give me some insight. What can possibly be done?

You used all files in the full MF3 Odin? I don't know why it wouldn't work, but your only option may be updating to MK2. It's a very peculiar issue. You could also wipe data in stock recovery and then flash the Odin file to make sure it's as clear as possible.

FIXED IT
After much searching for the problem I gave up and decided to try reloading the stock OS once more and it worked that time... I still have no idea what caused the problem...
Similar issue
Did you ever figure out what the problem was? I'm haing a similar issue with NI1. I'm using titanium backup to restore many of my apps and don't know if it's something I'm doing there that's causing the problem to keep coming back.
I've reloaded stock rom via Safestrap at least twice. But the problem is still there. I can't be certain but i think it may have to do with the syncing of contacts or data with google.
You could always try to reflash the gapps package... If you freeze a part of the gapps package like google services framework, other apps seem to not want to work.

Google play services isn't compatible with your device?

Hi,
I have Note 3 SM-N9005 International Qualcomm.
Long ago my phone has updated to Android Lolipop 5.0 (from KitKat 4.4) - OTA update with stock
Used my phone for year and a half, and few weeks ago phone gets lag from time to time.
I decide to go to FACTORY RESET (firstly try backup and reset). All go well. Phone goes like new. No lag. Good performance
BUT: one thing, one little error broke my all google apps
When android goes to automatically update google apps like GMAIL, Google Now(google), hangouts, maps and many others, system says that first have to update google play services and then this ERROR :
Google play services isn't compatible with your device
I try to reset phone without backup. Same thing
Then I go very angry and decide to read more about custom ROMS and how they install
I installed TWRP 2.8.4 first. Then I download AryaMod V8.3 TW Lollipop Official BOJ6 and follow all steps to intallation (A) : Coming from any official TW 5.0
All installation goes well and the ROM work perfect.
There is no hangouts app(I know that is old and bla bla), gmail work properly, but google(now) and other software (like STRAVA) wants to update and still wants google play services to update first. AND SAME ERROR :
Google play services isn't compatible with your device
Tried to go application manager> google play store> uninstall updates
application manager>google play services> clear cache
remove google account and re-login
same error !!!
PLEASE HELP
and sorry for my ENGLISH

Thanks. That worked for me
Hi !
I have the same problem as OP. I was on AryMod MM 6.0 v6 but GPS was a little problematic so I decided to go back to a stock rom. After a successful restore I couldn't access my google apps after update. I tried another stock firmware but got the same results. Older apks with .438 install correctly but the problem persists. I tried installing the latest apk from apkmirror but I get an error.

Problem with SM-G9280 (NEED HELP!)

Hello to everyone,
I recently bought an SM-G9280, and didn't know at the moment that was a version from China.
Okay, the problem is that I can't get Play Store to work in any way.
I rooted the device, tried many google services APK's, installing gapps from opengapps (and could only install pico version because of the partition storage limit).
When I install pico version from gapps, I can't log in because always shows an error saying "You didn't sign up to use this phone" or something like that and then I have to flash the phone again with the stock rom (6.0.1 version).
Okay, what I've tried: Rooting, installing google services apk, tried a lot of versions (not all of them).
Installing gapps services using TWRP. (gets me to the error that I exposed already).
What I think it could work but need some help: Flashing it with the stock rom of SM-G9287 (which is hong kong s6 edge+, but I readed somewhere that it could work, also readed that we need something called PIT from the SM-G9280).
If you have the same device and you did actually install Play Store, please tell me how or the right way to do it.
Hope you can help me, I am from Venezuela and getting this kind of phone isn't cheap.
Hope you can help me.
P.D: It is an official version of Samsung, not a copy, just moved the thread, didn't notice that I had to post it in this section.

Open gapss aroma version on s4 GTI9505

Guys ive tried it, i dont think its compatible for s4 GTI9505, suggest micro or mini. Just try yourself this will be according your needs. If you take full or higher you might have battery and lag issue. :crying::crying::crying:
Does one really need full gapps?
It's a 400+ MB package.
I usually use Pico gapps. That's the smallest package, it contains only the Google Play Store, and even so it's still 100+ MB in size.
Also, you can flash any smaller package and download the rest of the gapps from Google play, they are all there.
So there is absolutely no reason to get a full package, it will just fill your phone with bloat.
Flash a smaller package and just download what you need.
thanks for the information. i will pick over the smaller package in the future.
I tried the aroma package after installing GPE to install camera etc, werent a good decision, things stopped working, this was in the setup wizard, and then black screen with only the top bar, i wiped and reinstalled GPE and downloaded the latest google camera from apkmirror and grabbed evrything else from playstore

I managed to install TWRP, magisk, and get the phone rooted. Then used Gapps from 22.04.2020.
Got from internet (no verify opt encrypt) but i get error installing it.
The Google Play works sometimes with issues but.. i noticed the phone is unstable. After 2 days or so when i want to add a new account simply appears black screen and i`m not able to do that.
now i got a new Gapps from 08.12.2019 to try with this version.
If works like in 22.04.2020. i will remove TWRP and put Geekbuying rom.
If do you have any suggestions please let me know

Some delay. never got your message. Install Mokee Rom for this phone. Newest is Q. How to Install Mokee OS Android 10 on ZTE Nubia Z17 lite. Make sure Gapps is ARM64 version. Use nano and set up a Gapps Config txt file to limit what is installed. Google it.
