Last night I Clean, Wiped cache, factory reset, wiped dalvik, formatted data, cache and data data, fixed permissions & Installed Slim-I897-2.8.0-OFFICIAL.zip Nice :good: Play store already included, but some things are giving me the 942 error.
I am guessing (from research) this is because I don't have the correct Gapps.
Ive tried different versions before on different Roms, but did a wipe data/factory reset to try different ones, it just sux to have to re-enter all the stuff to setup phone again. One of the different versions let me install Go Keyboard but not Go Task manager .?.

*So my question is how do I uninstall Google Play to install a different Gapps.zip without user data wipe, and which one if there is one fully operational .?.
-sorry I cant post links but ive tried the slimGapps.zip from slimroms.net and real dark gapps2.7a when I had 2.7 slim bean installed which was my last flash before 2.8.

Captivate i897 at&t. Ive only had this phone a couple of weeks
went from stock froyo 2.2 to CM10 nightly to LAnight6.5dd to slimbean 2.7, now fresh 2.8 :highfive:
p.s. new to Android, but not flashing :p
psp 1000 6.60 Pro B10 <--- freakin awesome yo
xbox 360 Elite LT+ 3.0

Hi there
Slimbean has their own SlimGaps - did you try them?
I belieave the best way is to do a factory reset ....personally I format /system partion too before every rom upgrade :)

Try changing your screen dpi to 240 and then clearing data for Play. When you launch play again you should be able to download everything ok.

I think you can also change back to whatever dpi you want afterward and things should still work.

Thanx For setting DPI link yo. Ive been wondering about dpi being related to play store.
Holy wow. dpi set @ 320 on an i897 everthing is HUGE ! :lol:

Anyway, what I did was set dpi to 320, cleared data for Play store, Google framework, and Google play services. rebooted to recovery wiped Dalvik cache, Rebooted. Then Andriod Updated on reboot. reset my dpi back to 190 rebooted :victory: :highfive: Play store is good to go now. I hope anyways i just tried few apps.

*Aslo I learned about in the future flashing to wipe system, I was wondering why when changing ringtones I had multiple copies of ringtones when come to find out each rom only comes with about 5 or 8. I had lost the Terminated ring tone and found it in another Rom. And there is probably some other settings that need to be cleared in system for new Rom to work properly.
