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.

I did a system+data wipe recently and reflashed CM10 + v4.zip...
Flashed minimal gapps (tejus.k.v's updated ones)
Wiped cache+dalvik.
Then I restored data from the backup I'd made before the wipe.
After booting, I noticed some apps were missing.
So I opened up Titanium Backup and selected 'Restore missing apps with data'.
Titanium Backup got stuck at restoring Viber (one of the missing apps) for 8 hours.
When I woke up and saw that the restore wasn't done after 8 hours, I force stopped Titanium Backup and tried installing the missing apps from Play Store.
>
On opening in Play Store, I get the message that these apps are not compatible with my phone. But I know that they are, as I'd installed them before.
I've just talked about Viber, but other apps like Runtastic, Runkeeper and Justdial are also giving me the same error.
>
I opened up Application Settings/ Installed Apps, and there I found these weird installs 'com.voip.viber' and such. Opening these installs didn't work, and even their icon images were missing. Some even had 0 bytes size, while some still have their original size.
So I uninstalled those nonfunctional app artifacts, thinking that this would solve my problem.
It didn't.
I still can't install the apps from market. Or from 3rd party apks. Viber troubleshooting provides an apk for people who can't install from market. Even that didn't work.

In case someone suggests that I reflash the sbf, I'd like to say that I've also done two full sbf flashes in the whole process.
After the first flashing of sbf and rooting, I installed multiboot 0.8, but I found it had only 3 vsels/freqs and no TLS/TWRP support, so I had to reflash the sbf again, coz I had no working recovery and 2ndboot wasn't working properly on multiboot 0.8.

I'm attaching relevant screenshots in case someone wants to take a look.

Please help me if you figure out a solution.

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
I'm getting the play store "insufficient storage" notice (for almost every different app I try) despite having 8 GB of "free" internal storage and 20 GB of "free" ext. SD storage available. I unsuccessfully tried all the following supposed fixes:
Cleared Play store cash/data before and/or after a forced stop and including uninstalling play store updates.
Forced stopped "Google service framework"
Recovery->>cleared cash partition and dalvkc cash
Re-installing Gapps
running app cache cleaner
However, I WAS able to install grooveshark.apk apart from the play store with no problems.
Could this have anything to do with a LCD resolution change?
Any further assistance would be greatly appreciated, as I sick of factory resets, and am under the impression that even a factory reset may not fix the problem.

I had the same problem on my Nexus 7. If you use ES File Explorer don't forget to enable root browsing otherwise you won't see the folders.
This is what you need. You have to delete the folders for the apps that won't update in /data/app-lib/APP-PATH(that has this error)

Double-check your link there, that's the link to the latest firmwares.
Anyway, use your favorite root file manager (or adb/terminal, if you're feeling brave) to do the folder delete.

Spot on. My mistake. Thanks.
Did someone say steak?
Ok, I have read for about 3 hours now on this issue, but I think mine is a little different.
It started when google play was FC everytime I opened it, or an app that had a connection to the play store(a game with purchases, etc). It will FC TWICE everytime at least when opening up an app such as Marvel War of Heroes
Ok, now today I needed an update for an app, Deadmans Cross....... I couldn't get in play store, so had a friend load it to dropbox for me....... I then couldn't hit the install button so I uninstalled original version of the game before realizing I just need to take my screen filter off.
Ok, should be no problem now. I then proceed to install the downloaded apk, and it tells me that I have insuffecient storage and gives me a popup saying "cancel or manage storage" When I click on manage storage, it takes me to the app list in the device settings. Titanium backup WOULD NOT restore the app either.
I feel that these two things are related. I have tried the lucky patcher, and tried looking for icons not matching the apk in the data area...... I did end up deleting titanium backup file I shouldn't of, which caused titanium to now fc, so I hastely uninstalled that, downloaded new version from online, AND NOW THAT SAYS not enough storage.
I AM able to download and install several apk's. I have put lucky patcher and a cache cleaner on the device since the problem started and they went on the device with ease.
Why is titanium and deadmans cross(which is a large file, but I have 20gb open)
I installed the new google calculator app with dark theme yesterday and it was working fine until today where the app itself disappeared and i can't find it in settings or disabled apps, i tried to reinstall the apk but it shows this, i tried from the play store and it shows this, i tried to use a method i used before to bypass this kind of issues by slightly changing the package name in an apk editor app and it used to work, now it's just giving me "problem parsing the package"
please any help
Another user reported the app had occupied 1GB space on his phone, so the app seems buggy.
If you cannot clean the apps memory/cache in settings/apps anymore and uninstall then I would suggest you search for the com.google.android.calculator folder(s) on your phone and manually them. Then from TWRP also wipe dalvik cache and cache on next start and for the time being, until Google fixes it, use another calculator.
I am happy with https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.shaytasticsoftware.calctasticfree (only 2.9 MB and better reviews than Google).
