What I had to do when the PlayStore froze halted on every download was as follows: 1 force close PlayStore, Play Services, and Services Framework 2 clear data PlayStore and Play Services 3 reboot into recovery 4 wipe dalvik-cache and cache 5 reboot 6 check the PlayStore again for working download I've had that happen a couple of times when flashing the wrong GApps package or by not doing a simple wipe before and after flashing.
Good luck.
