Downgrade the Google Play Store on a Rooted Pixel 3a - Systemlessly - Google Pixel 3a Guides, News, & Discussion

Is it possible to downgrade the Google Play Store on a rooted Pixel 3a? I noticed I can update it to anything newer, but it will not allow me to install a lower version. Fortunately, I was finally able to remove the Play Store entirely by using the Debloater by Veez21 in Magisk. It removed it systemlessly, but then it introduced a new problem I didn't plan for. I installed the Play Store (many versions, including old and current one), but because the Pixel 3a is systemless, I was only able to install them as a user app. Each Play Store installed successfully that I tried, but then they would constantly error out and close every few seconds which was very annoying. Clearing the Play Store cache/data and even Play Services did not resolve it, so I ended up restoring the original system Play Store back using Debloater's restore feature.
So if the Debloater script can remove the Play Store during boot, systemlessly, then theoretically, shouldn't I be able to replace the current system Play Store app with an older version during boot. Of course I have no idea how to do that. Any suggestions?

Problem with google apps

I rooted my GT-I9505 lollipop 5.0.1 last week. After that I installed lucky patcher and modded google play store. Everything was fine, then I decided to uninstall the modded play store and installed the original one. After I did this my phone updates 5 apps on every boot. I guess these are the google apps, because after the installation of the original play store my google apps crashing even I dont use them. Many times youtube keep crashing, maps also and earth.
Someone has a solution for this?
edit: also my phone crashes sometimes when it's on around 10%
Reinstall the stock ROM. You may also need to factory reset your S4.

Where do you download all the apks that are needed to run google store?

I reset the phone, now i cant find the one that works on this Lee Pro 3 phone.
Sometimes google play service just crashed, and google play store keep on starting at the beginning.
It looks like google play service isnt working at all, crashed, so google play store wont work either.
What are all the apks I need to download for this phone to run play store?
thanks

If you are running stock software, just reset the phone. If you are running a modified version of EUI, you will still need to reset and reinstall. But you may be able to flash Gapps in Twrp Recovery.
Get Gapps : https://opengapps.org/
Another option is to clear the data and cache on Play services, and Play store, if its stock this will probably fix your issue.

Cannot get the right version of Google Play Services

Here are my specs:
Model: SM-G900F
Android: v5
Google Play Services: 6.1.88 (1557022-738).
I believe my bootloader is unlocked in my phone.
I have TWRP installed and I can root by flashing Super su, but not by Magisk.
The only ROM I have was downloaded, but I think it's official firmware - my file is (G900FXXU1BNL2_G900FXEO1BNL1_G900FXXU1BNL2_HOME.tar)
I've been trying on and off for about 2 years to get my S5 working how I'd like to and especially the last 2 days and everything has resulted in failure (Magisk failed, constant popups about services stopping). I'm getting really frustrated.
I think the root cause of my problems is my Google Play Services version. I tried updating through the Play Store and that installation kept getting popups of 'Unfortunately Google Play services has stopped' (even after cache wipes). I tried installing apks that were for Android v5, armeabi-v7a and 480 and 240 DPI (I tried a few different files) and I keep getting the Play Services have stopped error.
If I uninstall all updates, the phone will work OK, but of course I can't use many applications because I have to update Play Services.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Hope this helps. If so hit that thanks.

Twilight Struggle won't install

I've been trying to install Twilight Struggle from the play store for a while now. I've actually had it installed, and used to play it with my son in law when I was on pie. Since upgrading to 10, it won't open, and when I uninstall and reinstall, it gives an "install error" message when I open it. Tried clearing cache of play store, and play services, no luck. Any ideas? Everything else works, including Google pay. I'm on a tmobile converted 6t, rooted, bootloader unlocked.
Thanks

[SOLVED] Can't re-install google play services and play store

Hi,
I have the EU version with latest stock firmware and root. Magisk modules ExOS and microg. I wanted to try the "google-free" experience with microg but many apps did not work properly because of course there is no signature spoofing.
So, I removed the microg package and now I am stuck with microg services. I tried to install the google play services but it gets installed as user app and not getting recognized as proper by the apps. Play store is also getting installed as user app and constantly crashing.
How can I reinstall the google play services and play store? I could not find any guide about it.
Thanks
I reinstalled the whole firmware but Play Store and Google Play Services are not installed. What is happening? Isn't a reinstall supposed to install everything again?
UPDATE: At some point I booted safe mode and then again normal boot and now it is back. Works as before.
