May be something to do with conflicts between the older files installed to enable Play and Alien Dalvik. Interesting you mention updates though, as I previously did have the My O2 app installed, but now refuses to install, returning "Incompatible update."
Re. "My O2" - I just installed version 5.0 (2013-11-03) from 1Mobile Market. No sure version number from Play, but dated 30 Sep 2013..

If you install an Android launcher (Go Launcher has been suggested round here, works ok, but does occasionally pester you to buy extra features) then all the icons are present and correct in there.
Nice to know. I cant reboot (nfc fix ) I installed a Apex launcer, bun now i thinking... the Play update works some poit... can it be that launcher?

@Faz do you use launcher as well?

hmm, has anyone succeeded to install google play on a vanilla 1.0.2.5 install?

It crashes immediately for me, and there's nothing of value reported through /opt/alien/system/bin/logcat.

I've also (unsuccessfully) tried nuking /data/data/com.android.vending as well as dalvik cache(s) aswell as restarting the dalvik service.
Any ideas?

I had similar problems with Oi Filemanager and a few other apps that began to crash right after start. They worked fine for quite some time though. (Maybe it was because I started to delete unknown, unneeded packages found installed and shown in F-Droid or Aptoide, they probably installed as "needed" services with some apps. I'm still having problems with removing/stopping talk.back service though...) And the next error I got was "Incompatible update" for various apps...

Anyway, to get them fixed I had to completely clean and reinstall alien dalvik (including all installed android apps)

I haven't found any guide here, so here are additional files and folders to look for for a clean uninstall.

1. remove "Android Support" from Jolla Store
2. clean /opt/alien
3. also clean
Code:
/data/system/dropbox
/data/system/registered_services
/data/system/sync
/data/system/usagestats
/data/system/users
/data/app
/data/dalvik-cache
/data/data
/data/user
4.in /data/system/
delete
Code:
packages.list
packages.xml
uiderrors.txt
5. reboot

Install Android Support and Google Play again

Edit:

You can also put the following into a script (I named it cleandalvik.sh for example)
You should be root so run devel-su when in terminal.
Code:
rm -rf /opt/alien/*
rm -rf /data/system/dropbox/*
rm -rf /data/system/registered_services/*
rm -rf /data/system/sync/*
rm -rf /data/system/usagestats/*
rm -rf /data/system/users/*
rm -rf /data/app/*
rm -rf /data/dalvik-cache/*
rm -rf /data/data/*
rm -rf /data/user/*
rm -f /data/system/packages.list
rm -f /data/system/packages.xml
rm -f /data/system/uiderrors.txt
copy script to /home/nemo/Downloads
then
Code:
cd /home/nemo/Downloads
chmod a+x cleandalvik.sh
sh cleandalvik.sh

works great!

Isn't it just easier to click on install in Play Store instead of copy/pasting a link into a chrome plugin or webpage for downloading an apk and install it manually?
The apk is stored on the phone anyway so why all this trouble?
Or am I missing something here?

Regards,

J4ZZ
