I have installed miui 7 and play store (using aroma installer at this link. http://en.miui.com/thread-102282-1-1.html)
But whenever i try to install an app, even if i try to update google play services, i got the message 'insufficient storage' but i really do enough storage to install
Any fix ?
I've tried to delete cache of all google apps, still getting the same error. (install location is default auto(0) )
Thanks in advance
Hello,
1. Go to Setting > Installed apps
2. Find Google Play services and Uninstall it
3. Download Google Play services (.apk) following version 8.1.14 (2244331-346)
4. Install apk
And if tou need more information go to Miui thread thread
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.

Seems unlikely ...
A recent update to the Google Play services makes it crash, regardless of Android version. This is how i fixed it:
Requirements:
Root
A root file explorer
Google Play services APK (make sure to select right Android version and use arm + nodpi): http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google-inc/google-play-services/google-play-services-10-0-84-release/
System app remover: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jumobile.manager.systemapp
Instructions:
Disable WiFi.
Use System app remover to uninstall Google Play services, this will make it revert to the factory supplied version.
Install the Google Play services apk. The 10.0.84 is the latest working version accordning to my tests.
Create two folders in \data\app and name them com.google.android.gms-1.apk and com.google.android.gms-2.apk. This will stop Google Play services from auto updating. You should be able to create at least one. Do not overwrite any existing file.
Restart and enable WiFi.

Some additional steps to the above.
If Google Play is broken, like it was on mine, you can't download the System app remover. I got it from http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/jumobi...-root-3-6-2019-android-apk-download/download/
(I do not know if that site is safe.)
Download APK to PC, transfer it over USB, and install it with Terminal Emulator.
Also, if you cannot download a File Explorer since Google Play is broken, try some APK like http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/es-glo...-manager-4-1-6-android-apk-download/download/
(again, no idea if that site is safe.)
and install it via Terminal...
Then finally you can click the Google Play services APK. (Or just install it via terminal since by now you know how to...)
NOTE: if you have TF101 with KatKiss 4.4.4 you can't use the one marked Android 4.4W+, it fails and you will wasting hours of your time like I did - use the Android 2.3 version.

After spending 3 hours of figuring out all the above details, I still got the "has stopped" popups, because I had created the file names in terminal as gsm instead of gms. Details are important...
I should add that I did get it working, with my manual installations etc. Thanks!
Works for hours, then PlayServices autoupdate... try 2 times.
Im using katkiss 6.0
My problem is that while trying to flash KK6.0 again it gets stuck on the "Checking connection" step and it continuously prompts the famous "Unfortunately, Google Play services has stopped". I have flashed old gapps (1st Feb) but problem persists.
I know there is a general issue about a gplay/gservices version but I am not sure how to proceed now....
This is my solution for Transformer TF101 on firmware KatKiss 4.4.4:
Install Lucky Patcher from here: dl1.revdownload.com/dl1/1701/Lucky_Patcher_v6.4.5__5557_Revdl.com.apk
Open Lucky Patcher, select "Search", type "Google"
Uninstall "Google Play", "Google Play Services" (I also uninstalled "Google App" forever cause I needn't it)
Download open gapps on 2017-07-31 from here: github.com/opengapps/arm/releases/download/20160731/open_gapps-arm-4.4-pico-20160731.zip
Disable Wi-fi
Reboot to TWRP recovery
Flash gapps, wipe cache/dalvik.
Now boot and create 2 folders in /data/app - com.google.android.gms-1.apk and com.google.android.gms-2.apk
Now you can turn on your Wi-fi
Here's my solution about installing right version of Youtube for this gapps and prevent Youtube app from updating. There's ZipSigner app which changes a certificate and "detaches" the app from Google Play. For Youtube app this method causes failure on startup with a security exception. Luckily, I've found another solution:
The latest working version is 11.41.56 on October 28, 2016. Download Youtube app from here: apkmirror.com/apk/google-inc/youtube/youtube-11-41-56-release/youtube-11-41-56-21-android-apk-download/download
Disable Wi-fi
Uninstall current Youtube using Lucky Patcher
Now install downloaded version of Youtube
Create a folder com.google.android.youtube-2.apk in /data/app. There should be 1 file com.google.android.youtube-1.apk and 1 folder com.google.android.youtube-2.apk.
This solution should prevent a Youtube app from being updated by Google Play: it begins to update but at the end dialog shown which says there's insufficient storage space.
By the way, you can prevent auto-update for another Google app like Google Drive. Open Lucky Patcher, click on the app and select "App Info" and you'll see a detailed info. All you need to do is to create a folder with name like apk but "-1.apk" has to be replaced with "-2.apk"
Turn on Wi-fi
Phew, good to know it wasn't only me. I've been having this Services issue for some time now on the old 4.4.4 KatKiss, googling for it, updated to 6.0.1 but the problem starts as soon as I even try to install Google Play Services in any way (either flashing GAPPS or installing afterwards with an apk). The device works fine without the Services, but then I can't use Google Play...
So is it yet known who are affected? Is this only a TF101 problem, or are other devices (also non-ASUS ones) also affected? Or is this a KatKiss issue? Or what?
I don't feel like blocking Google from updating the services, that sounds like a stopgap solution that probably makes Services unusable in the long run. Hoping that e.g. Google fixes this problem with a new update...
Solution to my problem... But still need to wait until mr. Google decides to solve it

Yes, there are a lot of devices which faced with this issue. The reason why Google Services stopped working is so-called NEON instruction set for ARM chips. Our tablet has Nvidia Tegra 2 chip which does not support such command set! And no, that will not be fixed!
Here's a quote from the forum (bit.ly/2luHVwu):
If this started on or about the 9th it is due to Google putting ARM neon code into the last update. Older ARM chips do not have neon code functionality and are therefore screwed.
My 6 year old Asus TF101 with a Tegra 2 processor was still running like a champ with android 6.0.1 until last week.

I was having it stop at the "Checking Connection" step too, realized I was using the 2017 gapps package instead of the 2016 one. Check to see if you're using the correct one. However, I'm still having the "Google Services" issue.

I was finally able to get it to work but had to omit the .apk part of the two folder names. UPDATE: sorry, that actually didn't work, in fact, at the moment, no matter what I try, I cannot stop it from updating at some point and having to start all over again...
I rolled back to ASUS 4.0.3 original firmware.
It is working fine for the last 5 days, as long you do not update any of Google apps. The original firmware still has Google Talk pre-installed.
The original firmware is so so slow, when compared with KatKiss 6.0.1 or KatKiss 4.4.4, but at least it is working fine. No FCs at all.
Please note that there are some recent apps that do not work with Ice Cream Sandwich (Android 4.0.3).

Kenpoh, what version of KatKiss?
I found the format of the info in the /data/apps folder different from 4.4.4 to 5.1 to 6.0. I was unable to get things to work with fresh 5.1 ROM flashes so went to 4.4.4 and creating the folder with the "-2.apk" worked in 4.4.4. I think the bottom line is you have to create a folder name that is the same name as the .apk file (with a -2) to "confuse" the auto-update.
Now that I know I can get 4.4.4 to work, I'll see if I can get 5.1 and/or 6.0 to work and share my findings.
UPDATE
OK - I gave up 6.0 required setup a WiFi connection before fully booting. 5.1 wouldn't let me load ES File Explorer from the terminal (failure uri something or other).
For 4.4.4, I:
- Downloaded ROM, SU, GAPPS, Google Play Services 10.0.84 from apkmirror.com
- Did a clean flash
- booted up installed ES File Explorer from terminal
- installed GPS 10.0.84
- reboot
- create folder using the "-2"
- reboot
All is well. I let everything update (including Google Play Games) and everything is running just fine.

Thank you very much for your post. It worked flawlessly!!!
I have a Moto Xoom which is also a Tegra 2 Non-Neon device that is experiencing this Google Play Services issue -
I just had a one-on-one chat with Google support. Since I am running a rooted Moto Xoom (Omni 4.4.4), the only advice Google one-on-one support could provide was to unroot and revert back to Stock (which is 4.1.2. on the Xoom) and/or contact Motorola for support. Google seems to be unwilling to investigate fixes unless folks that are running UNROOTED Tegra2 Non-Neon devices are also experiencing the same issue.
So, if you are running a non-rooted Tegra2 device (like your ASUS TF101's) and are having this issue, please contact Google one-on-one support and let them know via https://support.google.com/googlepla...l=en#contact=1

This worked! Thanks OP. As a bonus tip you can also do this from TWRP: Use the TWRP terminal emulator, switch to /data/app/ and mkdir the aformentioned gms-1 and gms-2 apk dummies.
im using chinese rom and just install google play service via meizu appstore.

Maybe, you need restart phone with inserted SIMcard.
tl;dr: I uninstalled com.android.vending via adb, now re-installing it from APK isn't bringing the icon, or the functionality, back.
So today I tried to use my phone as you do, and "Application Google Play Services has stopped" was popping constantly, stacking the messages one after another, making it hard to even browse through GUI. Restart or clearing app data and app caches didn't helped. So I connected it to PC, and did:
```
adb shell
su
pm disable com.google.android.gms
```
(note: I should've tried "safe mode". But I didn't, so I don't know if it would help.)
The service disable command stopped the errors, but nothing else worked - Google Maps, GMail, even contacts stopped showing - looks like they had no proper local copy (which is concerning as well, but not really the issue I'm trying to solve).
So keeping GMS disabled is not really an option. I tried installing version 21.something and 19.something via adb, these both were constantly crashing as well. I finally went down to `com.google.android.gms_18.7.19` and that one seem to be working. But before that, I started removing services which use GMS - as I assumed the crash is probably caused not by GMS just existing, but by being used incorrectly by other things. One of the removed ones was Play Store - I did:
```
adb shell pm uninstall --user 0 com.android.vending
```
Ok, so no play store. But no problem, it can be easily re-installed from apk, right? Well no. This is the issue.
I tried installing a lot of various versions, but the store just isn't popping in the menu, nor in the activities handlers:
```
# adb shell monkey -p com.android.vending 1
** No activities found to run, monkey aborted.
# adb shell am start -n com.android.vending/com.google.android.vending.activities.MainActivity
Starting: Intent { cmp=com.android.vending/com.google.android.vending.activities.MainActivity }
Error type 3
Error: Activity class {com.android.vending/com.google.android.vending.activities.MainActivity} does not exist.
```
In the "Settings" -> "Applications", the Play Store is on the list, but it is marked as "not installed". Trying to "DISABLE" it or "ENABLE" again does not do anything useful (it uninstalls the version I installed, but original is still missing).
So installing the store succeeds, it just doesn't seem to do anything. Example cmd I use for installation:
```
# adb install -r -d "com.android.vending_19.9.23-all_0_PR_309342545-81992300_minAPI16(armeabi,armeabi-v7a,mips,mips64,x86,x86_64)(nodpi).apk"
Performing Push Install
com.android.vending_19.9.23-all_0_PR_309342545-81992300_minAPI16(armeabi,armeabi-v7a,mips,mips64,x86,x86_64)(nodpi).apk: 1 file pushed, 0 skipped. 2.7 MB/s (21821561 bytes in 7.817s)
pkg: /data/local/tmp/com.android.vending_19.9.23-all_0_PR_309342545-81992300_minAPI16(armeabi,armeabi-v7a,mips,mips64,x86,x86_64)(nodpi).apk
Success
```
I tied extracting all the factory APKs from N910 stock images, but I can't easily figure out which APK stores the shop (yeah, I might try extracting them all, it's one line script after all).
Any idea what's going on, or what I should check?
Ooh..
```
adb install -r --user 0 "com.android.vending_19.9.23-all_0_PR_309342545-81992300_minAPI16(armeabi,armeabi-v7a,mips,mips64,x86,x86_64)(nodpi).apk"
```
That worked. It took me far too long to figure out.
So I uninstalled the app from "--user 0" - so from system apps, but tried to re-install it for local user instead. Turns out the Play services won't work if installed this way.
Issue solved.
I started to have exactly the same f***ing issue yesterday! I have wiped all data tried reinstalling ROM and still same errror... Why did this happen?
Does your fix corrects it forever?
I will need to try your solution. Thinking of moving to another custom ROM from almost original one.
Sadly I am getting INSTALL_FAILED_VERSION_DOWNGRADE.
What ROM do you have? Does this work only with stock ROM?
Condensing the story down for people who just want to solve constant "Application Google Play Services has stopped":
If you have this error, try downloading and installing "com.google.android.gms" APK in version "18.7.19".
You don't need to uninstall anything, you can just replace the existing package with:
```
adb install -r -d --user 0 "com.google.android.gms_18.7.19_(040300-262610125)-18719015_minAPI23(armeabi-v7a)(nodpi).apk"
```
options:
* -r will allow re-installing the package on existing installation
* -d will allow to downgrade the package if current version is newer
* --user 0 will install the package as system package, as the original package is installed this way (on Note4 stock images)
You need to find and download the proper APK file first, ofc.
I also have this problem with Google Play services constantly crashing and making phone almost unusable.
I tried clearing app cache, safe mode. Did not help. Only uninstalling updates for Google Play Services stopped constant crashes, but left about half of my apps unusable state because they relay to recent version of GMS.
I will try manually install recent working google play services .apk and see if it helps.
But how to stop automatic update of Google Play Services to the crashing one again? Automatic updates disabled everywhere, including Auto Update Google apps.

Seems that clearing internal storage helped, so I think update + someold settings/data files causes this issue.
Could You please specify? By clearing internal storage You mean wipe all data?
Because Nothing helps, uninstalling Play Services updates, clearing app cache and even clearing the data. Also I cannot manually install google pay services .apk file, after installing it gives me installation failed. Play store installs Play Services, but they start crashing right after that.

The issue returned for me, and I was able to make it go away again by clearing cache & data only for few specific apps. Details here:

I then allowed Google Store to update everything, and the issue didn't come back. So looks like the solution from the above thread really fixed it.
Solved for me. I updated Google Play services from Play Store and appears that Google fixed the botched update by releasing new version. Hope they never botch it again and not trash my phone, but more permanent fix needed, like completely preventing unnecessary auto updates to critical Android parts.
