Hi
I am a newbie to Andriod and this forum so please be gentle with me.
I have just purchased a Star 9500 (Samsung S4 clone). Android version 4.2.2
Brand alps
Model 2206_jbla763_f
CPU MTK MT6589
Whilst familarising myself with this device and installing a few apps I decided to install AVG Antivirus from the playstore. I ran the program only to find one threat (malware discovered in play store app). Playstore version 4.5.10
Knowing that virus checkers give various results I decided to install a second checker so installed TrustGo antivirus and moble security and ran this program. Again it indicated malware in playstore app this time a bit more information
Threat low
Threat Adware AdUUCun.A2Andriod
This app uses UUCUN ad network. It may collect identifying information about your device such as its unique device ID (IMEI) etc.
recommendation uninstall app.
Now comes my dilemma
Having only just purchased this device I do not want to brick it in the first week of ownership
Is there a simple solution.
I understand you cannot uninstall system files? I assume as PLay Store came on the device it is considered a system file.
If I do manage to uninstall Play Store how do I reinstall?
Will I need to root this device to get at this app and if so can anyone supply a proceedure in simple speak.
Also I am keen to learn more about Android rooting upgrading to latest Android versions and there seems to be masses of information out there
but all very confusing so if someone can point me at a place to start it would be much appreciated.
many thanks for any advise in advance
strange, just tried AVG also in my nexus 5, no threat in playstore 4.5.10?! maybe, the manufacturer of your star has installed a nodded version of play store, and those signature does not seem correct to avg!
without rooting, you can try to install a clean play store apk:
http://www.androidpolice.com/2013/1...-play-store-activity-iap-indicators-and-more/
.. maybe you have to push this into your sys/app folder, for what you need root rights!
try to install it without root rights, if this won't work, root or ignore :/

Thanks for your input.
I have tried what you suggested and downloaded a clean version of Play Store.
It seemed to install but after running virus checker again same error exists.
I tried to uninstall the original play store but was not allowed too. So doubt if original has been overwritten.
From my limited knowledge it appears I will need to root the Star9500 MT6589 - remove play store and try again.
Does anyone have a simple proceedure to root this Chinese phone as I do not wish to end up with a door stop after only a week of "use".
cheers

I Know I'm a bit late but I have the same tablet and Aptoide App Market is just as good as Google Play ... if not better because the same paid apps in Play Store are free in Aptoide.
Google recently changed their policy so GooglePlay app is no longer available to download, your tablet either comes with it pre-installed or you don't have it at all.
After a great deal of struggle, I eventually succeeded in installing Google Play Store on my Proscan PLT7045K. This is what I did:
1. I downladed windows application Kingo ROOT and rooted my Tablet. It was easy. Just connect the Tablet to your PC and click 'Root'
2.Once the tablet is rooted, follow the instructions given on line for Kindle Fire.
This worked on Proscan PLT7045K

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.
Hi all,
I have a ZTE S2004 from China that does not have the usual pre-installed Google apps. I had e-mailed the manufacturer (both the North American and Chinese customer service) and was notified that because the phone is from China, it does not support Google services.
I recently found out about and downloaded KingRoot v4.5 and Root Explorer v3.3.5 to try and install Google APKs as described in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1874285. I installed the APKs , then changed the permissions to align with the other APK files, restarted the phone and then tried to install the apps via the APKS. They all said installation successful, but the apps crash and do not work, with the error message reading "Unforunately [program] has stopped".
Thanks.

Most likely because that thread is 3 years old. The apps are very outdated. Would try the same steps with the updated version of the Google apps.

Sorry I forgot to mention that the phone is using Android version 4.4.4 and I read that some of the APKs only supported 5.0+. I am unsure how to proceed.

Should just need the Play Store and Google Services Framework installed to get started. With 4.4, they should be placed into /system/priv-app with the correct permissions. 0644 I believe. Once placed there, permissions set, and rebooted, you should be able to access the store and download the rest of the stuff you need. I'd just grab them from a 4.4 Gapps package. They will be slightly outdated, but should be easily updatable.

I have encountered a problem with the Play Store installation. I had downloaded a newer version of Google Play Store and have tried to uninstall it, but it still remains and I fear it is blocking the 4.4.4 version. I cannot remove it by using the default removal option or even root explorer. I attempted to reset the phone but that has not worked either.
The installation for Google Services Framework was successful, but when I tried to use the Google Play Store, it would open and subsequently close immediately, no error message showing and the process itself still running.
So you've deleted it with Root Explorer and it came back after reboot or there was an error when trying to remove it?

I'm not sure but you can try this.
Root your phone,get a new custom rom.
use a vpn service app to access internet on your device. i think that will do the work.
Note: select VPN provider of somewhere outside china
here is a download link of a VPN app CLICK DOWNLOAD
Try this and let me know

There was no error when trying to remove it, but it still appears on the phone after the reboot.

I am unsure which custom ROMs are available, as I have been unable to find any for my phone model, S2004. The most common ones I've seen are the ZTE Blade and ZTE Warp.

Then you can do one thing, download firmware of your device but of some other country. It may work for you.

There is no other firmware available, my phone is currently only available in China.
Any update on this ? I have the same phone and it's useless without the google related apps (and it would be great to have a newer version of android on it too)
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)
at
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?
Working
Hi, install aptoide the install tinder version 9.8.0 it works for me.

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
Hi,
I recently bought a tablet from china but i wasn't told that the google play store wasn't install. I tried to download them from their apps as well through some site but none of them works. The google play store just crash. So i've decided to root it but i couldn't find any roms/firmware which i can use to root the tablet. The tablet current version is 7.
Do i really need to root my tablet or there is a way i can get my google play store running?
I notice that there is some thread for tb-7304i or something, will i be able to use them? If not, where can i get details to root tb-7304n?
can anyone help me with this?

An Android device must NOT be rooted to install Google Play Store on it. Use Google Installer v3 to install Google Play Store. The Google Installer v3 comes as an APK which you can directly download and install on your device. Fortunately, this app doesn’t void warranty as it isn’t performing root or modifying the system files. Once the Google apps have been installed, you can uninstall this app.

So when the Google Services Framework keeps stopping then you know there is something wrong with one of the Google Apps you have installed on your phone. Either Google Services Framework, Google Play Services or Google PlayStore. Picking out the particular app responsible might be tasking so it might be best to just clear the data and cache of ALL three apps and also remove or log out of your Google Account and log back in and finally re-boot device.

Tried any times already and still can't figure out which apps is having problem. Is it due to the software version having PRC?
