Play Store won't open...

[Guest jase_d31]

Hi All

I am a relative newbie to Android and I am having some problems that you might be able to help with...

I replaced my standard Vodafone software with Cyanogen Mod 9 a few months ago and after some initial problems getting it installed, all was fine.

I have since updated to Cyanogen Mod 10 and now I can't get the Play Store to open, it flicks on as if it is about to open and then just shuts down. I have also lost a few other apps that since I have no Play Store I can't get back.

I have tried putting the Play Store APK on my SDCard and reinstalling it from there but it still won't work.

I also tried going back to Mod 9 but that just locks up and I can't get it installed!!

Any ideas?

Thanks

Jase

I should also point out that I have installed each of the Cyanogen Mod 10 updates and the Play Store will not work on any of them either!!

After updating from cm9 to cm10 did you flash the JB google apps? If not, then that is likely your problem.

[Guest jase_d31]

Ummmm no I didn't!!

I vaguely remember having to do that when I first installed Mod 9.... will have to find the guide I used and work out how to do it again!!

Thanks Cyda!!

Download this file: http://goo.im/gapps/...1011-signed.zip

Copy it to your sd card, boot in to clockworkmod recovery, wipe cache and dalvik cache and then flash that zip you copied to your sd card. Reboot and your done.

That worked perfectly thanks Cyda!

I seem to have lost my Camera App...can you suggest one I can download?

Cheers!

I use a paid cam app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=slide.cameraZoom

But two of the best free ones are: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ucamera.ucam and https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=vStudio.Android.Camera360
