I can't find the right settings on my device for Google Play. I loaded an app for a public transit system that insists I don't have it installed, but it's definitely there. This is preventing ALL programs from installing :crying: I really want to root my device but I don't know if I can without installing a program, and I need to at least back up before doing a factory reset- which requires installation of a backup program (Catch-22!)
Is there anything that will automatically adjust the Android settings to allow Google Play to be satisfied? Or a reference guide that supplies ALL the settings names and their required state?

i keep getting this error every time i reboot the tablet
process com.google.process.gapps has stopped
cant use the market too its wont load up .. chrome give f,c when i try to download somthing
its JB 4.2.2 not rooted
how i can fix this ?
Since it is a stock unrooted tablet you have exactly two options
a) Try clearing data (Settings->Apps->All) on related gapps applications e.g.
- Google Play services
- Google Play Store
- Google Services Framework
- others?
OR
b) Factory Reset
Because there is always the risk of wedging the OS by fooling around with things using technique (a), even if you plan on trying that first, you should prepare for the possibility that a Factory Reset might be needed. Note that the Stock Recovery's "factory reset" wipes EVERYTHING including the SD card - so this means
Back up your whole tablet before you begin.
I was going to suggest using the Carbon backup app to back up your apps & data (it claims to work on unrooted devices) - but then realized you have a chicken-vs-egg problem (can't install apps via Google Play). I note that both the windows MSI installer and the .apk file are available from the developers website. I'm not sure how this would work out though as it is a paid app ??? Maybe you still need the market to partially work to get an auth token? (I'm not sure what is needed to work on the tablet for in-app purchases to succeed.) Well, at least you can install the Windows .MSI and sideload-install the .apk and see how that goes...
Good luck and take your time. It may be that no backup is needed after all, but I would hate to be faced with the possibility that a full factory reset is the only thing left to do (the wedged-OS condition).
PS please change your thread/post title to something a little less vague
So I'm trying to run this app on my tablet, which I've already purchased on my note 5, but I keep getting this error when I open the app.. The app is called MHD Flasher N54, it's a tuning app for my car which on my phone I purchased some in-app stuff and it should recognize this on my tablet but it doesn't.
Any help?
Thanks in advance

Check to make sure Google play services is up to date. Go into settings > application manager > all (it might be called applications or manage applications). Click Google play services; if the version number starts with anything other than 8.7.03, play services needs to be updated. Even if it is up to date, you should try clearing cache and data. If it is not up to date, download from here and make absolutely certain you're getting the right variation: http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google-inc/google-play-services/google-play-services-8-7-03-release/
Just to be sure, you should also try checking the same things with Google play store (ie is it up to date, version 6.0.5 or newer, and try clearing cache and data). If all that doesn't solve it, you should consider a more drastic solution: factory reset, then immediately install official firmware with Odin
I did uninstall updates and reinstall them for google play services, but I didn't check the play store yet, I'll give it a check and report back.. And yeah I'm not concerned if I have to factory reset it so worse case scenario I'll give that a shot, just hoped there was an easier fix.. thanks again..

If you want to avoid the reset, I forgot to recommend trying to install a gapps package. You'd need a custom recovery; if you don't have one already I can show you exactly which one you'd need if you don't mind telling me your tablets model number (settings > about device > device model). I recommend opengapps because they have up to date gapps packages compatible with all devices running any version of android KitKat or newer (4.4 +) plus if you read this: https://github.com/opengapps/opengapps/wiki/Advanced-Features-and-Options you can tell the stock gapps package exactly which Google apps to install or not install (to system which in my opinion makes an app run smoother than installing as a use app) as well as exactly which stock Samsung apps to remove and which to keep
Hi I have NewsOn apk working on my AFTS but I can't get the application to work on a coworkers AFTS. Can I copy and paste files from my device to another so that NewsOn will work the same as on my device?
The problem is NewsOn requires Google services, which I somehow was able to install on my device but can't get it to install and run on my buddy's.
Thanks for any advice in advance.
In the tech world - dependancies are nothing that you just shrug off.
If the app needs the Google Services Framework, it needs the google services framework. And it will always ask for it - ad nausium, and probably quit if it doesnt find it.
On Android in general - an easy way to copy apps and its settings ("save data") from one device to another one is Titanium Backup.
You need root to use it - btw. That are other "cloud backup solutions" that don't require root per se, all of those arent very good. Without root you run into severe limitations with restoring app data. Because of the android security framework (one app isn't allowed to write data into another apps data folder).
But that doesn't help you one bit - if the app requires a Google framework thats on your device, but not on your "buddies".
Theres no magic that will solve that.

Thank you for your input.
It seems like there's always a catch or a road block to work around in the "Android World".
This problem I'm faced with, doesn't it seem like there has to be an achievable fix?
Im just not on that level to know exactly why or pin point what I did that gave me the ability
to use an app that from what I kind of understood isn't possible to install on a non rooted fire stick.
Isn't there a method I've must have unknowingly performed that enabled me to use NewsOn?
Or could it just be a glitch or fluke?
I haven't heard or found anything on the web indicating someone has installed an app on a non rooted fire stick that requires Google services in order to function.
What's your or anyone elses opinion on this?
Thank you for sharing.
I was able able to install and get working NewsOn on a Firestick Gen 2 without root. Installed NewsOn (Apps2fire) then dumped my Google Play and Play Services from my phone (apk manager +) and used apps2fire to install them on the Firestick too. BINGO! Unfortunately I can NOT get it working on Fire TV Box using the same method..
Hi,
I have a Nexus 7 (2012) wifi-only model and want to install printoid (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=fr.yochi76.printoid.phones.trial) on it. But the Google play store keeps telling me my device isn't compatible... I don't understand why.
I have an even older tablet (galaxy tab 1 7") where its working without issues, a bit slow though. And I know the developer of the application also has the same Nexus model and can install it without any problems. I installed the APK by sideloading it, runs without any problems, just can't download it from the store.
Some facts
Google Play services = version 11.7.44
Google Play store = version 8.4.18.V-all
Tried Android 5.1.1 (XenonHD ROM) and my device is rooted
Tried the stock rom 5.1.1, even un-rooted and locked it
Tried lineageOS 7.1
What could be causing this?
Probably the developer himself has forbidden the installation of the application on this device. Either in the application manifest contains the necessary (not optional) permissions, because of which the device was automatically excluded from the list of devices. I also from time to time come across applications (even from Google) that can not be installed with Google Play. But nevertheless, they work fine if you manually install the apk.
Just use https://apkpure.com/ for such cases.
Thanks @gmikhail, didnt know the apkpure site, handy. I had contact with the developer and he has the same device. He can install without any problems, which makes it even more strange.
Rather use it from the play store, makes updating easier.
@nosmo-king The app is not available for me too. So the problem is exactly on the developer's side. Let it go to the device list and manually recheck device.
In Google Play Console -> Select app -> Release Management -> Device Catalog -> Find Nexus 7 2012. There should be written why the device is not supported.
PS: apkpure supports auto-update.
Good to know I am not the only one, thanks for checking.
I replied to the developer, I hope he can do something...
Good to know about apkpure, unfortunately the PRO version is not available. Probably because its not free
Hi
Like Google Play, is there an updater that updates app from APKmirror or others automatic?
There are but I would suggest aurora which uses Google play without an account
Forgot to mention, it can also be apps that are not on Google Play.
Ex for me is: Disney+, have to find it on apkmirror (or others), has disappeared from my Google Play....
Ofcourse other apps also, that is not on google play.
Disney + is still on Google play Maybe not for your country or something but aurora uses anonymity to show you everything on the Play store
Something happens after a reset of my Shield. So can't find it anymore.
I will try aurora, tried it now on my phone, looks great.
New to this, so 1 question: Is it possible to make update and install. Now I had to hit install/upgrade for each of the apps?
And maybe run in the background and update apps?
With root yes that will auto update
Thanks for the answer.
Haven't read or tried that in years. Maybe I'll check for the Shield, my phone is brand new so I'll have to think about that.
Is it still the hassel of USB, program and much code on the laptop, if I could ask?
Now it's just using a modified boot file. An oversimplified explanation is to just enable oem unlock, reset to factory settings, extract the boot file, magisk modifies it, put it back in the phone and boom you're rooted
Thanks, will try to find the howto for my Shield and maybe my phone.
