Can't use Google Play Store, help me please

I just update to Android 5.0
When i enter Google Play it says i have to do an Obligatory Autentication ( I mean Autenticacion Obligatoria) and it doiesn't let me donwload anything, also when sync my Google Account it says it has some incidences, also i can't erase my Google account because i don't have permission. Also it says in a Notification that an App neds to be updated by Google Play services but i csn't because i can't enter Google Play.
It seems like they shouldn't release Lollipop at least for Nexis 4

If you already have a google account and its misbehaving, either do a factory reset and set up your phone again. Or try adding a second google account and then erase the original account. The Google playservices notification is a bit of a bug, try downloading the latest apk from apkmirror and install it.

Ok, but the think is that i can erase or add a Google account, when i try to erase it it says that Device Manager is active, i try to deactivate it but nothing, also i downloaded the apk but when i try to open it it says error
Also i want to do a factory reset but i have more than 1000 songs i don't mind about other things, i just want to save my songs, but when i connect to my computer with Windows 8.1 it detects the Nexus but i can't see the files, it doesnt prompt anything.

Check in Device Manager on your PC, if the phone shows up as an Unknown Device, you need to install/ reinstall the usb drivers. For windows 8.1 try the Universal ADB drivers (google for the link).

The solution to all Lollipop bugs is to uninstall Google Services and then reinstall and updated apk, i was plagued with all of this bugs, i managed to deactivate Android Device Manager and i uninstall Google Services, all of my Google Apps were gone it was pretty weird so i install a Google Services apk and now its smooth as f-word, i will never buy a Nexus cause of this but if all updates were as fluid as know i would love all of this but i had many headaches because of all the trouble that updating cause to my N4.

Had a similar issue with the OTA update this morning. You need to get the latest version of the Google Play Services apk. Check this thread for the download link posted by Hashim. You need to check the correct version for your phone. Its a 30 mb file and takes around 20-30 min to install. All the bugs you mentioned were fixed on my phone.

Rooted and experimenting as Playstore updates itself and I am unable to patch it !
Is it OK if I give a non stable release with Playstore not working ??

Please do. Is it a method or full ROM?

As long as the Tv doesn't crash. I'm willing to try it if it really helps. Thanks for all your work.:good:

You can also root it with kingroot.apk Works fine with US version. Sometimes you need to run it couple times.
I did it long ago with my x3-55pro US version. It also works with Indian ROM
English version attached.

@dipcore open your own thread for sharing the custom rom with us please

Yes that will allow you to login with youtube app or any other app which uses google services. Basically all google services will work. The only problem is with the play market. It stops working after self-update (which does not affect any other apps, youtube will still work).
As a temporary workaround you can go to android settings -> apps -> all. Find the Play market and press on "Delete Updates". That gives you an option to use play market till next self-update.

I just did the given
While trying to login a message appears that google play services has stopped working
And then play store says unable to login
And my youtube app force closes itself on startup
Please help!

Not sure then. I'm going to make a separate thread tonight with my custom firmware. It has youtube and google services pre-installed (as many other changes) So you will be able download and install it, if you want.

4.5.5.2 with working Play Store...

I have OS 4.5.5.2 with Play Store working well, it does crash occasionally, but it loads and you can download apps from it.
Here's what I did (from memory). I do not have my tablet with me currently to check versions of the Google Play APKs but I believe what I wrote below is correct, I will update later if not. These are pseudo-instructions. You need to be familiar with how to do a variety of tasks of Android (flashing, adb, etc).
A) Follow steps to unlock bootloader and flash stock repacked ROM from that same thread... https://forum.xda-developers.com/kindle-fire-hdx/general/thor-unlocking-bootloader-firmware-t3463982
B) Flash SuperUser
C) Downloaded the following Google Play APKS:
Google Account Manager: http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google...google-account-manager-4-4-4-1227136-release/
Google Services Framework: http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google...gle-services-framework-4-4-4-1227136-release/
Google Play Services: http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google...s-10-0-84-030-137749526-android-apk-download/
Google Play Store: http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google...ay-store-7-3-26-k-all-0-pr-144039714-release/
D) Download APKPure https://apkpure.com/apkpure/com.apkpure.aegon
E) Download a new keyboard from APKPure (I used Google GBoard I think)
D) Psuedo commands:
adb shell
su
cd /system/app
rm com.swype.* (these are large files for the keyboard and need to be removed to install Google apps)
E) Push Google Account Manager and Google Services Framework to /system/app (adb push xxx /system/app)
F) adb install Google Play Services & Google Play Store
G) Download the following:
gapps-kk-20150412-minimal-edition-signed.zip: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=95916177934554406
Xposed Framework SolarWarez: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=64063168&postcount=62
HDXPosed 1.3: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2618158
H) Reboot to TWRP and flash gapps-kk-20150412-minimal-edition-signed.zip
I) Install Xposed Framework from SolarWarez
J) Install and activate HDXPosed 1.3
Again, this is from memory as I don't have my tablet with me, but this has Google Play working well (along with Google Play Games) on Fire OS 4.5.5.2. The only issue I've found has to do with Underground apps not showing in the Play Store. I think there must be a way to fix that (it might have something to do with the HDXPosed changes). I will investigate that later...

Stable? What has the stability been like since installing, as you seem to be the only person who has managed it, albeit I am only searching the net . . .

You mean the amazon app store? Yes this is just a timing thing... I just got some refurb hdx from woot and noticed that the underground wasn't working on these stores but was on my HDX... so i turned off and on and a day later the approval banner for underground showed and I hit ok and now it shows

Tried it. Play store just keeps crashing.. Couldn't even login. Xposure said it wouldn't install due to lack of space even after deleting Swype.

APP/APK Updater

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.
