Ever since Google got rid of sub-genres and replaced them with play lists, I've kept an older version of GPM to replace the new version. I did this previously by deleting the new version and installing the old, but I was always rooted.
Is there a way too do this without root?
I'm guessing it fails because it tries to install the old version I have as a system app.
Apkmirror
That's a cool place to get older versions of the app, but doesn't solve my problem.
Trying to install the older version fails.
I have unknown sources turned on.
You can't install an older version until you can delete the new one completely which you would need root to do
Thanks. I was hoping there was another way. I guess I'm stuck with "drinking a latte at the gym with my bro" sub-genres.

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.

Gapps package? This is the i337. There is no gapps package for the i337 on mf3 or nl1

So, I recently installed MIUI version 4.713 and everything is working fine. I originally installed the wrong version of gapps and I kept getting force closes so I reinstalled the rom and instead of installing gapps this time around I just use the google installer app. If you don't know what that is. It's just an app that allows you to install things like the play store. Anyways though right now I'm not able to install really anything from the play store onto my phone. Whenever I try to I either get the error "Unknown Error" or "Unknown error -24". I think it may be because I don't have gapps installed on my phone. So my question is ultimately does anyone have the correct version of gapps for my phone or the solution to these errors I'm running into? My phone is running on Android 4.42 and MIUI version 4.7.13. I also found this thread with my error http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2733038, but I'm not even able to install an app third party without downloading it from the play store either. If anyone could help I would greatly appreciate it.
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

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.
There are 27 variants of app on apkmirror, which one to download for n9005?

findout armv7 with 480 dpi
trying that rite now, will give feedback
I've got a Chinese A9 Pro (A9100) a week ago, which was running fine, as the store had installed the Google Play store on it.
However, it was not seeing any updates whatsoever, so it was stuck on the firmware from last year's September.
I wanted to fix that, so I was looking around and found the firmware for this year's September for A9100:
updato.com/firmware-archive-select-model?record=EF41B367935E11E7963AFA163EE8F90B
I tried flashing it with Odin, and everything worked fine. The new firmware is working fine, has the newest security patch and everything. All my installed apps were working fine as well
The only thing that didn't work was Google Play Store, it wouldn't run at all. What's more, I was continually getting "Google Play services stopped" errors, which was starting to get on my nerves.
So I decided to do a factory reset, which fixed the problem. No error messages anymore
However, the Google Play store is completely gone now. How do I get it back?
I tried downloading the apk files from apkmirror and installing them, that did nothing.
Then I looked around and found a Google installer:
itechify.com/2016/11/10/download-google-installer-apk-chinese-phones/
Tried that one, but even though everything seemed to have installed fine, it still wasn't working. The error messages were back again, too, so I uninstalled everything again, and the error messages are gone again.
How do I get the Google Play store back? If possible, without rooting the phone. I have apps that I need to use (e.g. my banking app), which don't work on a rooted phone.
Thanks for any help :good:
