Hi everyone!
We have our device which runs on customized Android OS. We want to license our OS to get official Google Play and other services so we follow official instruction and write emails to android-partnerships[at]google.com but we just get auto-reply with link to form which we need to fill, so we did it, twice and that's all. No answer. We try to write another email to android-partnerships[at]google.com and receive same answer:
Hello,
Thank you for your interest in Android! A member of the Android Partnerships team will review your email and respond appropriately.

Have somebody passed this quest?
Thanks for future replies.
Hello dear community,
I have been making a few android apps for a while now but i have a really hard time grasping marketing and all. I know most conman ways are to share via Facebook and so on , but honestly i don't even have a Facebook page lol
So im asking anyone that can give me some real good pointers on how to market or get my apps visible to people. I just launched a few more awesome apps and im having trouble getting anyone to download to even try it .
Google play store mechanics are , more downloads more ratings more visible your app - how would i get my app to get some downloads lol so it can organically grow?
Thank you all in advance for your help.
cheers

Hi,
I'm wondering there is a way to post a review on Google Play in another country? For example, I'm in Poland and I want to post a review for app, but I want to do this in english and I want my opinion has been seen by people in the US or UK. How to achieve that? I should login to google play by a US proxy or create a google account and mark that I'm from US?
I don't know that I wrote it in right place, so if not, sorry .

So this is what they said (loosely translated from Mandarin) :
"To comply with government rules on telecommunication and smart device usage and information handling, we can not provide or develop support for Google Play and associated services. Please understand. We appreciate your love for our devices."
Yayy

It's confirmed that by the next update we will be able to enjoy Google apps. Check here:

But i think getting a Taiwanese version is even better.

Asking them is useless to be honest they wouldn't know. They would tell you to consult with their repair center for further instructions. So i wouldn't take their word. We will be able to install Google services but it will take some time.
Is there an update on this matter?
My ROG phone (CN import) is about to arrive, and not being able to install Google Play Services etc. on it would be a big issue for me. With all my previous chinese phones (Huawei, Smartisan, Vivo NEX, etc) I have been able to somehow work around it through APK's or flashing, but this doesn't seem to work with this ASUS phone, correct?
Can anyone confirm what has been tried and failed?
Thanks a lot in advance for your support and input.

Every Google installer 2 & 3 (chinese & english version) have been tried. Also installing all the required Google apks individually has also been tried, none of them work. A representative from Asus has confirmed that the current software version doesn't support Google services and we will have to wait for the next update which will support Google services as promised. Check my previous post with the links to Asus ROG phone forum there you will find the Asus representative feedback.

we have the same phone and still waiting for a solution
Hi all,
Did anyone make any progress on this?
On my end I'm contsantly checking and posting on the official ASUS Zenforums (China), but no luck so far.
I'm getting quite desperate, as this 1000$+ phone is currently rather useless to me.

Patience is a virtue!. I suspect we will be getting Google services working properly with the next major update(Android Pie 9.0). Personally I have migrated from using Google apps and found alternatives.
You could use Nox on your PC, add your Google account to the VM, install your app, extract the apk, copy to your phone, then install the app there.

Mmh, sorry for asking redundant questions, but how would this work?
It seems the issue is that the CN ROG phone doesn't support Google Framework, no APK's have worked so far. Other, none-GF apps run fine.
Would your method somehow cirumvent this issue, and would I be able to install Google Play and its related services on this phone?
Thanks a lot for your time and support.
This would make it so you could just side load the apps.

Actually Google maps(without account login) & translate work fine without Google framework I have them installed on my device.
If you need all Google apps to work on your device there is a way for that but they wouldn't be working directly instead through an Emulator installed on the device. PM me if you need the instructions.
Otherwise if you need a good Google playstore replacement I would recommend "yalp store" & "aptoide" or apk mirror website.

To be honest, if you want to use Google Apps, dont get a CN device. You will save yourself from wasting time, and severe headaches. The model in HKG will support Google Apps out of the box. I am getting mine this weekend. I got a Huawei Tablet from CN, and never again will I get a CN device of any sort.

Hi !
I will be more than glad if you could please email me the instructions to use ROG CN version with Google Play Store and Apps as you wrote in your post:
Will this enable me to use/sync Google Contacts & calendar ?
thanks !!!!
