Lots of custom roms are there out now and i myself have a custom rom..google play services was launched by google to better communicate updates and notifications of google apps with the users..so if u experienced an error saying 'Google services must be installed' when u recently opened your google + or tried to sign in your youtube account.., you are in the right place..
once u click on the option'GET GOOGLE SERVICES', you will be redirected to the playstore and 'gps'(google play services) will be downloaded.
after downloading when u try to install gps it shows an error saying.."Incompatible with other applications using the same user ID'..now your are left stranded ..no gps and no google + or any other apps for that matter..
YOU CAN CHECK YOURSELF IF YOU GOT GPS BY CHECKING WHETHER YOU HAVE THE GREEN G ICON SAYING GOOGLE SETTINGS THERE ON YOU APP DRAWER..IF U DONT HAVE THAT YOU DONT HAVE GPS..
HERE IS THE SOLUTION TO THE PROBLEM..
you are unable to install gps becuase your developer made a modded google apps package for u that cannot be given a gps id by google..so u have to get the stock google apps..
When you deodex a ROM on Kitchen, it removes ALL the .odex files! And deodexing is just basically for theming. Now, I haven't seen any ROM that has themed GApps. So basically, if you want to get your Google Services working, you have to install stock GApps. So, here we go!
first of all do a complete apps+data backup in titanium backup..because all your apps are gonna be missing after the wipe data..
1=> Download the latest GApps from Googles servers. download gapps for ics if u got ics or gapps for Jb if u got jb..
2=> It's a CWM (or stock recovery) flashable package, so don't waste your time unzipping it. Go into Settings > Applications > Manage applications and uninstall the copy of the current Google Play Services that you have installed (if you have any).
3=> Reboot into recovery, and flash CWM recovery (if your kernel has integrated CWM, you don't need to bother).
4=> Select "Install zip from sdcard", and browse to the downloaded GApps zip and flash it.
5=> Make sure to clear your your data in advanced>format data, cache and wipe the Dalvik cache. Reboot.
6=> Open up "Market", accept the EULA and put your phone down.
7=> After 10 minutes or so, go into Application Manager and check if your Market has changed into Play Store.
8=> Go into Play Store and update all your GApps to the latest version. Once done, head over to the YouTube app or google + appp and fire it up.
9=> try signing into youtube also it should work
10=> Now u will be able to see the green google settings icon which shows u got GPS..
