my mom bought a $200 tablet from some no name company named linsay. It's model is a Cosmos F-10HD. It's an all right little tablet but it comes without the play store. When I try simply installing the play store apk it works for a while until i try to actually get an app but then it crashes and i can no longer open the store. I think this may be due to read write permissions but I don't think I can modify those without root access. So is there some way to get the play store working properly on this tablet without root access? And if not is there some way I can root this device and then install it? Thanks a lot for your help
Try searching for the guide to install the Play Store on Kindle Fire. Perhaps the same method will suffice?

Try This
first try clearing the application data and cache...if that didnt work...download the latest play store apk....install it using an app called Easy Installer...
Don't expect too much from that chinese tablet! I had a Haipad MID-701 - for now, fortunately, i sold it, huhh.. - with google play (at that later times it was called market not play, but it doesnt matter i think. just for be correct). I tried several ways to get it work, did tons of ggle searches, but i get no information how to make it work. I could start the download and install process trhough the market, but after 0,5 sec i touched the dl and setup button in the market said that dl was unsucessfull.
try installing the old version first, the android MARKET APK, then i think it will automatically upgrade to the playstore version
I believe you need to push the APK to the /system/app folder and also have the google service framework apk and push it to the system/app folder if it isnt there already.
Google doesn't want unapproved devices using the play store. That's why you can't get it on the iPhones idroid. I'd go and get Amazon App store.

Even Kindle doesn't come with the Play Store. But there have been numerous guides in circulation as to how to install it. Google it and use the same procedure. Cheers!
You're right, but the kindle has CM7, making it a Google supported device.

Linsay f-10hd
I bought the same tablet, It actually works well. Unfortunately, you cannot root it nor download the play store. What I did is I have android phones. I downloaded the apps I wanted on the tablet, through my phone, mounted the phone, and copied the apps onto an sd card or flash drive and installed it that way. Worked out real nice.
Strange
My parents bought me the same tablet, although it came installed with Google play, and to top it off it came rooted. It came three days ago and discovered root access about 1 hour ago. I did not even attempt to root but, if life gives you lemon, you make lemonade.
I have the new linsay 7" with 4.1.2 on order, some have said that it is rooted out of the box. Could very well be as a lot of these cheaper tablets are. If so then all you would need is SuperSu and Busybox to have root permissions. Will let you know as mine should be here on 2/08/2013. It also should have play on it but the 4.0.3 did not..

Linsay Cosmos F-7HD 4.1.1
Ok tablet got here early, it is a Linsay Cosmos F-7HD 4.1.1. Has all Gapps factory and a 2.0 single core Cortex A-9 Ghz processor 512 ram and 4G. Flash drive with only 1.98G free. Sears for $99.00, not bad for the price as it seems to work well after a couple hours of playing with it. Has micro scard slot and storage is listed in settings as Internal and Micro sdcard as SD CARD, also in settings>Apps it does let you move apps to sdcard if the app can work from sdcard. It doesn't seem to be rooted out of the box, I installed superuser and updated su file but doesn't give user permissions and sometimes I run update su and get failed. Will have to see what can be done about rooting, I don't need it for Gapps but would like to change mounts in vold.stab as it look able to change so everything installs directly on sdcard as Internal. If anyone has an idea on gaining root let me know.

You might want to try 1Mobile Market from Cnet, it has all the same apks as Play and way more than Amazon. Also on the cheaper tablets, it will let you install apks that Play won't. That should get you by till someone comes up with root and gapps for your device.

How did you discover root access? Need my F-7HD rooted to mod vold.fstab file.
Hello, I was wondering if it was possible to update an app that was not installed from the market through the market.
I've downloaded free apps from the market, unzipped them and swapped out some image files, signed and reinstalled, but these apps no longer show up in the play store--when I try, it says that the app was not signed correctly.
I've tried searching but the only thread I found was from 2010 and was essentially a thread about some person stealing a paid apk and trying to get it to update :|
Anyways thanks
Seems impossible
As the signature is different, so I think it is impossible.
Titanium Backup has an option to "Attach to market(forced)" might give that a try or fix permissions.
I had similar problems with games that I bought through the Android edition of the Humble Indie Bundle. Cannot update via Play Store.

Play store
Hello, I spent couple hrs last night trying to get the play store, I used Android cowboys way, the other way in this forum and yours. All not linked to a comp. Android cowboys with apks would show no connection after email log in, the other method in this forum worked briefly putting things in the priv-app., then went into a constant load white screen. Your method would not get past the email load page. Before each attempt I deleted the previous.. Feeling defeated I did a hard reset on the 4th gen Kindle.. Well, it reloaded with no es file manager, not your app but still had root, king user, and google play store, click the store and it works perfectly. Not sure what happen during the reset but thanks, the desired result was achieved.

What most likely happened was the /data/data information still existed when you removed the old ones. Mine are installed to system. So what a factory reset did was get rid of that previous /data stuff. Glad it got squared away

Was thinking the same, may be a option for people who have tinkered with this before finding your app. I was surprised to see the root survive a reset..

Yeah root is installed to system also. But some are using systemappmover to move the apks to system. Which will cause some problems if using my tool after that. Might need to figure out a way to detect and remove old ones. Not sure if I will be able to

I tried installing google apks before, some guide i followed. But didnt succeed so uninstalled. I even did a reset on it today and tried installing but same.
When doing adb install apk I get "Install_failed_older_sdk"
Good app, I have lots of gapps running now, sideload on some then they updated OK, but need google play services 7.3, I can get it to update so need to sideload it.

Does anyone have a gmail apk that will work with this. It keeps saying that google play services needs to be updated
Out of Space msg with Play Store update
I used this tool to install gapps. @bibikalka says here we can now update play store and services, but when i try to update play store I get message: "Out of Space - Google Play store couldn't be installed. Free up some space and try again."
I have 2+ Gb free space. I've heard of this happening and being unrelated to space, but can't track down the problem. Does your tool move or rename something that could cause this? Any ideas how to fix? thx
EDIT: OS 4.5.3
EDIT: So I brilliantly uninstalled playstore, then got the out of space message when i tried to reinstall (both older and new versions). So restored from TI backup and now playstore won't open at all, just crashes back to wherever i start it from.
EDIT3: ok, so I was in denial about space left in /system. :silly: Moved some stuff out and now store loads again, but still get "out of space" when i try to update.

Awesome!!! Looks like you are a great candidate for 4.5.4 !!! It's actually very simple to get to a good place with a modified 4.5.4, supersu.zip installable via TWRP, and JMZ tool. I was scared of the update and that setting up things again would be hard, but the bricking episode showed me how easy it is If you insist, you can reflash a modified 4.5.3, this way you'd go back to where you were. This is probably 30 min of your time, to do all of this.
All your stuff in /data will be kept. You'll want to go to /data/apps and remove those 2 dummy directories that JMZ tool puts there to block GAPPS updates. This way GAPPS could update, but start with the playstore first.
I did get a similar "out of space" message on 4.5.3 when I played with GAPPS a lot. It has something to do with odex files or perhaps some other stuff. Not a fun message to deal with.

lol . . . (You really are very funny!) Anyway, I was planning to update to 4.5.4 for the very reason of no-hassle Gapps. Then saw your post about current play services/store working--apparently with 4.5.3 since guy you replied to had that OS--and got sidetracked.

Thanks, that's the info I was asking for. After fair amount of messing with this, I'm back to the original problem with 4.5.3 and latest play services and store: Play store won't load; just get white screen and spinner. So now off to do 4.5.4 update!
New Here
Hi I'm new here. A few questions for you. Does this require root? My understanding is that the newest version can't be rooted. Is this true? Also will this allow me to install the google play store and run any app from the play store?
Thanks!
Problem with playstore
Hi, my playstore stopped working, I open it and it is in blank, so I tried to install it again, but it disappeared from my device. I have a Kindle Fire HD 6 with King root, could you help me with this? Thanks
I want to be very clear that I have no problem paying for apps, supporting developers and that sort of thing. I recently installs VMOS to spoof my location in an app.. a dating app that is free, and also for free the app allows you to browse users in other parts of the world.
However I wondered if I could do the same thing with Tinder.
The issue I've ran into is I cannot get Tinder to install within VMOS.
So my main/actual phone is a Samsung Galaxy Note 10 + running android 9.
And the fake/vmos is 1.0.49
I uninstalled tinder on my main phone, went to google and found a website where I could download tinder 11.6.0 apk… but I needed something called SAI (split apk installer)
So I downloaded the apk, then opened the files within SAI and tinder installed and works without a problem....
However when I go to my fake phone and download the same files from the same sources tinder does not install and gives an error pretty much saying "failed to install- app not installed- Application is incompatible with this device"
I am obviously not sure what the exact reason is which is why I'm here.
When I tell it I want more details as to why it did not install I get "java.lang.Exception: application is incompatible with this device at com.aefyr.sai.installer2.impl.rootless.RootlessSaiPiBroadcastReceiver.onReceive(RootlessSaiPiBroadcastReceiver.java:57)
at android.app.LoadedApk$ReceiverDispatcher
$Args.run(LoadedApk.java:908)

android.os.Handler.handleCallback(Handler.java:739) at android.os.Handler.dispatchMessage(Handler.java:95)
at android.os.Looper.loop(Looper.java:135)
at android .os.HandlerThread.run(HandlerThread.java:61)
Obviously that doesn't really tell me anything in particular.. because I don't have much programming/script knowledge.
But it makes me feel there are protections in place to keep people from doing what I'm trying to do.
So if anyone is willing to help that would be awesome!
I'm unable to get the app to install via the play store.. because it doesn't even show up there by searching directly.
But when I follow a link to bring up the app within the play store it just pretty much says it's not compatible.
So is it because of protections being in place... something wrong with my vmos environment or what?
When I tried installing it on fake phone I had root turned off along with developer options also turned off.
I had install apps from unknown sources turned on.
I'm not sure what other info to provide...
I can get the same apk to work on the real phone and install..
Just unable to get it to install on vmos.
I tried File Transportation in vmos and that didn't work either... it times out or whatever.
So in general... whether it be tinder or whatever app.. how do you get something to install when play store says incompatible and file trapsportation does not work?
Maybe the apk file I have is in fact incompatible with something within vmos??
I tried some stuff within xxxxx but was still unable to get the app I mentioned earlier to install. Not really sure what needs modified/patched or whatever.
any ideas please? how does someone get an app to install within vmos that doesn't seem to want to?

What I usually do is use the root permissions in vmos to force install the apk as a system app through lucky patcher. Before doing this I would reccomend making sure that the version you are using is compatible with the vmos android os version you are running before attempting and that the package isn't considered corrupted. Also please note that when installing an apk as a system app it becomes difficult to uninstall. If you'd want to remove the icon then you would need to disable the package also through lucky patcher. I'm just throwing the idea out there and I'm not sure this solution would work for any other so hopefully it'd work for you.
Has anyone had any luck getting vmos running on an android 9 device??
If so pls let me know so I don't waste too much time trying I tried the standard one and it didn't work so I'm downloading the pro version which will take a long time
I recently upgraded from an Android 7 phone (Moto G5) to an Android 9 phone (Moto G7). I like to back up all of my apps that I plan on using in the future, using a backup app like ML Manager, and installing them locally with a file browser, like FX. On my new phone, there are some APK backups that I can't install from a file browser; even if I actually download them though the Google Play Store, back them up, uninstall them, and then try to install that backup on the same phone, it won't work. Not every app does this, and at first, I thought it was only paid apps that were giving me problems, so I chalked it up to DRM, but a bunch of free apps won't work, either.
I've tried alternate methods of installation, too, like using a terminal emulator (see the screenshot, using the app Manual Camera as an example), and ADB on a PC, which results in an INSTALL_FAILED_VERIFICATION_FAILURE error. I've searched for this error and followed directions, like disabling Play Protect (which I never enabled on this phone, anyway), but nothing works. Is this just how Android is now? Did something change so that it's harder to install backups? I tried all of this on my wife's phone, too, which also runs Android 9, and I got the same errors. Any help would be appreciated, because I'm out of ideas. Thanks in advance!

Some apps are different for noghat and pie Android
So there is no grantee that you can install all APK that you backed up on noghat for pie
Download them from Google
It should completely work
Make sure that you have free space on internal storage and when you wanna download them make sure that download arm/arm64 version

Yeah, downloading from the Play Store definitely works, I'm just curious as to why backing up an app downloaded from the Play Store won't install from the APK *on the exact same device.* I'm a stickler for keeping local backups of everything, but I'm more curious than anything at this point.

Well there is a another reason
That is some app install with APK
And other one install with APKS
which you should install them with SAI and have two or three file to install (even more)
And when you backup from apks apps it doesn't backup all files to install it again
But at play store it install automatically

Holy crap, dude, I had NO idea that split APKs were a thing. I downloaded Split APK Installer from the Play Store, and I can make and restore local backups again. Thank you so much for the info, it was exactly what I needed!
