how to fix this - Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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

Market issues after wipe and flash

UK Voda Magic CM 4.2.14.1 CM recovery 1.4
OK having problems i have :
Wiped data, cache, ext,
repartitioned with default setting using CM recovery,
flashed CM 4.2.15.1
Now the market appears to only be partially working, no paid apps tab and the downloads tab is empty ie it doesnt show my purchased apps
If i install any apps they are not recognised and after a reboot force close on opening.
I gave up yesterday night and today and magically the market is back and functioning properly including any apps i install and my list of purchased apps!! The only apps not working were the ones i installed prior to the market being fully functional although if i uninstall and install again they work no problem.
Great so seems like it fixed itself!! Not trusting this i wiped again to start from scratch and bang here i am again with a partially functioning market.
I have tried :
Running the script to remove the vending database - no help
Wiping the data and ext - no help
gtalk log in/out - no help
Help!!!!
Sounds to me like it's not signing you in all the way or something. Not sure how you would solve it, but maybe try a different ROM and see if the problem persists. Hopefully someone else can help you out a little more.
I have no idea why, but when I flash cyanogen google paid apps never show, probably google being a ***** as they kind of banned him(read about it on google) . Try a different rom ,Cyanogen aint that great anyways.

Google hasn't "banned" him, they tried to protect their IP. It was completely within their rights, and although the community may hate Google for it, they have no reason to "ban" CM from the market.

[Q] Getting full Marketplace and Framework Issues

I have tnt lite running on my tablet, and went through the full instructions on the guide on this forum of installing it and the marketplace and flash fixes. However I never got the full marketplace on my tablet (no angry birds, lots of apps missing). I also would often get an error every so often about the Google Framework Services having and error, and recently my tablet would reboot often while i was browsing. Then flash started having issues of not loading sometimes, etc. So what I did was I redownloaded titanium backup, installed it, force closed Google Framework Services and Market, went into titanium and wiped data for Google Framework Services and Market and then tried to open the market and got the error. I then rebooted the device and I tried to access market. At first it wasnt opening so i rebooted again and then it started working, however it still isnt the full marketplace. Also randomly the Google Framework Services error came up again. How can I get the full marketplace working? Would you recommend that I backup this rom and just reflash with the 2.2.1 tnt and start over again? I dont have much data on it and can start from scratch easily.
Ok so I have gotten rid of the Framework error and stability issues. I did a factory reset which seemed to have cured a lot of those issues. However I still dont have the full andriod market. I followed the steps again but I keep getting a limited version of the market with barely any apps. Is there something else I need to do to get this working better? I have heard of people getting the full market with angry birds, etc on it, so I know it can be done..
Some of the roms, sepcifically the Vega one, I wasnt able to get the market to work on correctly. I finally did by doing a factory reset, installing Cyanogen mod, Cyanogen gapp pack, and than flashing the Vega one over it without a reset.. and then the usual market fix. And it finally worked. There has to be a better more reliable way though. (From my understanding, it should work out of the box with Vega since it uses the release key instead of the test key in build.prop. But it does. )
I don't think the "fix" has given *anyone* completely full market, has it?
I've done the fix on TNT Lite, newest release, and newest VEGAN and I am still missing apps here and there.

I seemingly have access to the full market. I applied the fix referenced on the TNT tutorial page:
Setting / Applications / Manage Applications / Running / "Clear cache"; then "Force stop"
Then go up to Google Services Framework and "Force stop"
Open Titanium Backup; click on "Backup/Restore" and scroll to Google Services Framework 2.2.1 - and "Wipe data"
Go back to Home and launch Market. You should receive an error message (if not, repeat steps above).
Reboot and you should be good to go.
I also installed the latest update to the market (via update.zip) referenced here

Correct, to the best of my knowledge, even with a good build fingerprint in build.prop (now pre-done for you in Vegan ROM) and after applying Market Fix, we still seem to be lacking a few apps here and there from Market. Perhaps 2-5% of the apps in Market are still missing. Off the top of my head, Pocket Legends, Tank Hero, one of the MAME ports are known to be still missing. Some other minor apps.
CyanogenMod is the only ROM that apparently doesn't have this issue, though I haven't tried it to verify that for myself.

Android Market: instant 'Download unsuccessful' message

Hi everyone,
I'm positing because I have a peculiar issue. I cannot download from the Android Market....and I have tried the solutions on the internet from clearing data/cache to trying to sync my google account in different ways...
Here is the background:
- Bought used Vibrant on craigslist
- rooted, unlocked, then unrooted, then hard reset
- no external SD card
After every hard reset, in two instances now, I have been able to download from Android market SUCCESFULLY for about a ~30 min window. After this time window, any download from Market does NOT work, and after clicking 'Install' immediately goes to the red triangle status 'Download unsuccessful.'
At all times, my internet still works fine, both on 2G/3G/wifi.
Android market website does NOT show my device (is this because the device only works with the very first sync when the phone was purchased??)
Something is locking me out from downloading. It's come to such a stupid workaround that since I know Market WILL work after a hard reset, I do a mass download of my app essentials in the ~30 minutes that I have.
Thanks for any help in advance!
Clear market cache
also, setting proper permissions on /data/ and /data/app might help (with a program like root explorer)
Do you use titanium backup? Restoring any setting? I got similar problem when I freeze "media container" in titanium backup.
Had this problem when z4mod was setting incorrect permissions on /system partition
All,
To avoid the issues with any roms/rooting, I unrooted the phone, as stated in the first post.
I basically got the phone back to 'stock' settings, and I have this issue. Any additional help would be great...this is my first experience with Android and it has only been headaches....
getting nostalgic with my old E71. haha
So, did you use odin to go to jfd?
I'm really interested and willing to help, just santo make sure I understand everything that you've done.
How did you root?
Why no external?

[BUG] Google Play Store no installed app after clearing cache+data | apps cost again

Hi everyone,
it seems the Play Store has got the same problem as years ago. After a clearing of cache and data, I have and empty installed app list and if I try to download apps bought time ago, they cost again.
I talked about the problem and it seemed to be related with detaching script on roms or apps like iytbp. No solutions found over the internet works (delete and readd the account, clearing cache partition, etc).
The only way to restore it was to restore back a previous titanium backup, data only, from a clean installation or from an uncleared play store.
It happened to me on XXX 9.1 but it's not rom related, 'cause it happened again on a clean installed stock Oreo 8.0 rom after installing iytbp with detach.plz method. But today a guy tried on a full stock Oneplus 5 and it happened the same (no root, no unlocked bootloader).
Can you please try if you have the same problem? After a Play Store backup, of course. I already sent a google feedback about that and, if you have the same problem, a google operator suggested to feedback them about that. Thanks in advance for the attention.
P.S. I tried the same on my Wiko Fever (full stock and updated) and it seems to have no problem at all. It also happended on Nougat, but I have not tested a lot.
Same issue here. I've also used the iYTBP detach script, you say it is caused by this? Have you found a solution? I'd rather not have to do a whole factory reset seeing as I don't have TB.
EDIT:
Found the solution to the problem for me. Not sure if this will fix it for good but for now Play store will update and installed apps show up. This solution requires root access. This is what I did:
1. Make full backup in TWRP.
2. Go to "system/priv-app/phonesky", cut the phonesky.apk (apk file for the Play store) file out of the directory to for example your documents folder.
3. Do a full (regular) reboot.
4. Copy the same apk you just move away form it's directory back to it's place (system/priv-app/phonesky).
5. Do another full reboot.
6. Wait about 30 seconds and the Play store should back on your device and functioning normally.
EDIT 2:
Issue where apps don't recognise that the user has purchased it still persists. After uninstalling the app and reinstalling it this issue got fixed.

No need for GApps install--tested and confirmed

*I spoke too soon, perhaps! See here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/nook-touch/development/nst-g-updating-ntgappsattack-t3875957 for a new approach to GApps with working sync--but Google Books is dead.*
I've recently received a second NST and decided to start some tests which I didn't want to mess up my regular device doing.
My first item is GApps. UNLESS you absolutely MUST have Google Books (1.2.2 is the only working version w/sync--but no purchase ability), there is no need to install GApps. All of my apps which will run on the NST are perfectly happy without GApps, including many whose current versions (like MX Player and the NPR app) balk at running without GFS (Google Framework Services) on newer devices. I guess the old versions just predate all that.
----------------------------------------------
Edit: I've come across an exception: Tasker and any apps generated from Tasker/App Factory (that includes my own USB one-touch toggles, Current Bookcover Screensaver, and Screenshot). It turns out that Tasker and its daughter apps have a built in dependency on two Google Maps library files. You don't get these by installing Maps (tried that...). Instead they are a part of GApps installation. But you can place these two files yourself to solve this issue (attached below--the xml file is zipped so you can actually download it instead of view it). Copy the files into these locations (you will need to mount /system as RW temporarily):
/system/etc/permissions/com.google.android.maps.xml
/system/framework/com.google.android.maps.jar
Set permissions for both files to rw-r--r-- and reboot.
----------------------------------------------
NONE of the apps in the GApps install package work any longer except for the rudimentary sync/account files that are needed for Google Books, and those must be set via GMail (which otherwise does not work). OK, Calculator works But you don't need GApps to run it. You also cannot sign in to Google or access the Market any more with the apps in the package. But installing GApps will clog your system with a bunch of apps churning away in the background, eating up your battery.
Realistically there is not much in the PlayStore for our devices and most useful apps need to be found elsewhere and sideloaded. However, if you have your heart set on PlayStore access, I recommend the Yalp Store (FDroid). It works well on the NST (I just used it to install MX Player), but you do have to update it from time to time when Google has made some sort of api change, and you cannot purchase apps this way.
Disclaimer: my test of apps is not exhaustive, of course. You may have the exception to my proposed rule. But I doubt it.
You are right, wish there was an easy way of returning back to stock. I lost my backup.

The easiest way is to use the Factory restore option of Nook Manager. That will trigger a reimage with whatever the device left the factory. On my recent acquisition that was 1.0.0! You can use the 1.2.1 update zip from the B&N website to get back to current ( barring the 1.2.2 update which I think is pushing out early Pacific Time on weekends--still have to check that).
