Hi,
I have just rooted and installed a rom on my asus transformer prime for the first time. I have tried a few roms and I realized I can't install google play on them. Is there a specific way of installing google play instead of just opening the apk?
Also is there a way of syncing with google? In the stock rom i was able to, but I havent found any roms that allows this

Sounds like you have a rom without gapps (google apps) you can install goo manager which will get you to gapps or look in the place you downloaded the rom from.. they probably have a link to gapps.

Hey guys,
I just installed a custom ROM into my S2 but inside there are only basic applications and nothing related to link to google data or app inside. (Example: Google play store, Gmail, Google map, etc). i tried to install the google play store app in my phone and i opened the app, it auto close off. Can someone assist me?
Last time i facing this problem too and i resolved it by went to some webs that taught me to install something but now i cant find it. =((
Did you install *just* the ROM or did you install another package called Gapps too? From your description I'd say you forgot to install Gapps. Gapps is an acronym for Google Apps, and without it you won't be able to access ANY of the Google services. Go back to the original ROM thread and look for a link for Gapps. DL the file and follow the install instructions.......
Advice from the (semi) experienced.....
Next time, read the ROM thread thoroughly, and download everything it tells you to.....if the link is there, it's there for a reason.......

you defiantly should download gapps and install them using cwm, for more information search google for ''gapps''
Like mentioned above DOWNLOAD GAPPS for you ROM. Dont know wich ROM you have but
IF android version 4.1.0 then download gapps for that version. If you have version 4.2.1 then download gapps for that version.
that´s why you missing Playstore
Hi. Noob on Forum.
I decided to Install CyanogenMod on my Xoom MZ601 model.
Bootloader unlocked, cwm installed, Cyanogenmod also installed without problem.
I use the last NIGHTLY-BUILD ---> cm-10.1-20130410-NIGHTLY-everest.
Now the problem. I tried to install gapps.
I downloaded the latest gapps for jelly bean 4.2.2 ----> gapps-jb-20130301-signed.zip from goo.im/gapps/ (cannot write the complete url on the first post)
Install zip from sdcard etc using cwm. And everything seems to be perfect.
Except one. None google app is not installed. Or at least not shown nowhere on my apps.
Any idea what's wrong? How to fix that? I like jelly bean but I need gtalk, youtube, play store, google maps etc.
First u need add your Google account in phone setting> account.
Then just install YouTube, Gmail, maps etc. Those Google apps that can be downloaded from market aren't included in gapps flashable package.
I add my gmail account and I made again the gapp proccess. Still the same result. I have no problem to download all the apps from market. But I have not play store on my apps.

You have to flash the gapps at the same time as the rom as the gapps package has more then just app apks in it and it needs to be able to write to the proper areas.
How to do that? The first thing after installing ROM was to install gapps. I think that we are on a good way to find the solution :good:

When you flash the rom dont reboot, flash the gapps right after and then reboot. You will have to reflash the rom with a full wipe.
I made a wipe of disk and cache. I install rom and gapp. After, I rebooted, I add gmail account, I rebooted again and now I have News and Weather app on my apps but not play store.

I mean post the link you used to get the gapps zip file. if the browser FC then the zip maybe corrupted due to it being updated with the new play store
Try installing the new playstore yourself.

Wait you are flashing the gapps package first before this zip right. I already have the new play store running
And after looking at those link those are install able files not flash files.
Thanks a lot! With the apk problem solved
I need to pair a watch with a phone that has just AOSP flashed on it and so I'm trying to figure out if/how I can install Google Play Services/Google Play Store onto the phone. (In order to pair the watch with the phone I need to install the Android Wear App, but I can't do that if the phone doesn't have Google Play Store/Google Play Services installed).
My phone is a Nexus 5 with the Lollipop AOSP installed, so I just tried installing the GSP apks using adb but I keep getting error messages that GPS has stopped running.
I'm an iOS developer and new to Android and have been searching for days how to solve my problem without success, so I'd be grateful if somebody could help me with the following questions:
1) If I get Google Play Services and Google Play Store apks from somewhere like apkmirror.com and install them will I be able to access the Android Wear app on Google play and download/install/run it?
2) If not then if I get the Android Wear app itself from somewhere like apkmirror.com and install it along with GPS will the Android Wear app run?
3) When I try to install GSP why do I get the error messages about it stopping? Are there other dependent components I need to also install to make it run?
4) Can I install it using adb or do I have to install it using a recovery? If so, then why does a recovery have to be used to install it, whats the difference between installing via a recovery and installing via adb?
Thanks for any insight, I'm getting nowhere and getting frustrated trying to work all this out.
I had exactly the same problem and could solve it.
I described my solution here:
https://code.google.com/p/aosp4nexus5/wiki/AOSPforNexus5
The documentation describes two alternatives:
1. Manual installation which is lost with every new flashing of the system image
2. Integration in the build process to create a system image including Google Play Store as vendor-specific prebuilt APKs
Thanks, I'll try it out
Do you have any ideas where I could get GoogleServicesFramework.apk from?
Places like apkmirror have GooglePlayStore.apk and GooglePlayServices.apk for Lollipop but not GoogleServicesFramework, (why would they have 2 of them but not all of them?).
I don't have a Nexus 10 device so can't obtain them as you did in your post.

You can unzip the file gapps-lp-20141109-signed.zip from BasketBuild https://s.basketbuild.com/gapps
You find it under system/priv-app/GoogleServicesFramework.
The name of the APKs may differ. GooglePlayServices is named something like GsmCore or com.google.android.gsm.
The Play Store is named something like Phonesky or Vending.
Thanks very much
Hi all,
I am new to this and sorry if I am repeating a thread. I have searched and haven´t really found my answer.
So I bought a Chinese phone with MTK6735 and Android 5.1. The phone does not come rooted.
The issue is that it does not come with Google Play or the GAPPS. I downloaded a copy of Google Play and installed it directly from the web browser of my phone. Now, when I click on the Play store, it doesn't really open, it's as if fails to load the app. (crashing immediately).
Can someone please advise?
Thanks
Download Google Play Services
All you need to do i download Google play services.
You can find the link by searching on Google.
Download the gapps .
Download the Gapps (search google)and flash it through recovery then it may work,i am not sure but i think it will work

Do I need to root the phone for it?
If you have recovery installed then i think not.

The Play Store crashes because it must be installed as a system app, and when you install it from an .apk it installs as a user app. It must be converted to a system app. But this requires root.
Sorry to bother again. I have tried with many methods and I still can´t.
I have tried downloading a google installer by Eric Xiang. This installed the Google frameworks and play services, but when I open Play store, it just tells me "Unfortunate, Google Play Services has stopped working". So, there's no way to open it.
Alternatively, I have tried to root it, and then install a recovery (as it was not installed by default). But here, I am having problems in rooting the device. I have tried with latest version of Kingroot and still failed. Not too sure, it may be because the device is with Android 5.1? or because the device has one of the latest Mediatek chips MT6735?

Again, you have to be rooted. Mediatek can be difficult. Sorry, but I am no help to you with this.
I have honor 7 play dua-al00. I want to install google play. After doing all the procedure google play fails
I have the same problems. Up till now I still cannot find a resolution. Can anyone here please advise? I downloaded and installed the latest suitable Google Service and Google Play Store. I ran the Google Play APP and it just crashed and closed. Urgent. Thank you.
Did u find a solution i have same peoblem
i have the same problem but i think its worth adding that i'm on android 8.1
and the issue isnt that google play doesnt install its thats once installed it wont download (and therefore not install) other apps.
i think the issue is that the system doesnt come up with the authorisation box to let playstore install apps (so doesnt recognise it as a store?).
if you install amazon store and try installing something from there, it asks if you want to let amazon store install apps, you click yes and it works. for some reason it doesnt do that with playstore. you either get stuck on app downloading but doesnt download or playstore shuts down.
play services, are updated manually from apkmirror otherwise you constantly get that gmail wont run without updating services first for example. update it manually and it works for a while.
sorry, probably also worth adding i'm on (and assume we all are who have this issue) on the chinese rom (messed up at purchase!) and an alternate fix would be if we could install a non chinese rom or a custom but doesnt look like these are available?
we still need a solution to this....
