[Q] Is a Lenovo Android device without Google Play basically rubbish? - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi all.
I'm new to Android and have been given a Lenovo phablet that does not have Google Play.
I've been Googling for hours looking for ways to get Google Play on it and have had no luck. I have seen threads of people trying to find firmware for it that includes Google Play.
Is it of any practical use or basically junk? ie., are there other stores that can replace Google Play? The model is Lenovo A3300-T
Cheers,
Mark @ NZ

[q] lenovo s2005

I just bought a LENOVO S2005 in China, the phone came with Android 2.3.6 using it´s own app I upgrade it to 4.0.3 but there´s a problem: I can´t register any google account on it (there´s a place to put one ms exchange account, but no google) and there isn´t access to google market or google play :-(
Does anybody knows how to solve this?!?

This one is ICS with google framework: http://lepad.it168.com/thread-2104597-1-1.html
Lenovo s2005
I also have this phone which I bought in China. Love the phone and wish I could use it here in the US.
Mine has been updated to ICS which happened through a Lenovo download.
I was able to download from AndroidPit an app store ability. It is problematic but at least it gives me some functionality. I haven't been able to make google/play work nice with the device yet. I think it is something with the fight that happened with China and Google. Not sure.
If you don't mind, where are you located and if you are in the US, have you been able to get the phone unlocked.
Thanks.

Installing Play Store on Huawei Honor 4A

Hi all,
I have an Huawei Honor 4A that was bought in China. I'm trying to install Google Play store, but am having issues trying to install it on the device.
I tried to download the Google Play and Google Play services apks and manually install but the app just hangs on the loading circle. I've also tried installing via the Huawei store, but get the same issue.
It seems that one solution I've found is to root the device and copy GoogleLoginService.apk and GooglePlayServices.apk files to system/app. I've tried to root the device using KingRoot 4.1 but get a "Root strategy unavailable" message.
I've contacted Huawei regarding a bootloader unlocking code, but have to wait 14 days for this.
Can anybody suggest a way for me to get Google Play installed on this device?
Details:
Model: Huawei Honor 4A SCL-AL00
OS: Android 5.1 - EMUI 3.1
Thanks
Hi, unfortunately I can't help you, but I have the exact same problem. Could you please tell me, how did you contact Huawei to get your bootloader code?

I've sent details in a private message as I can't post links in threads.
I've also found an official ROM that contains google services. Does anybody know if I can install this official ROM with a locked bootloader?

You can always install stock ROM on a locked bootloader, either do it via adb sideload or do it via fastboot flash.
If you want to install Google Play on Huawei, you have to get an older version. The latest version that you already installed is not compatible with your phone. Take a look on Google and search for the older one.
Hope it helps!

You tried all methods from the Web. Which methods have you tried?
I don't use this Meitu but I once used Xiaomi from China. There's no Google Play Store at all (maybe Chinese manufacturers hate Google Play? haha). I had to find Google Play or Google Installer from App Store but i don't know for sure if you can get the apps from your store. Another solution is that you have to find apk file from websites like Download apk file for free, then follow the instructions and hope Google Play Store could live in harmony with your phone. :highfive:
Hope it will help

No it can't. This is one of the things you have to look out for when buying devices from China. You get what you pay for.
Anyone have updates on this? There must be a way!

If you can find something that will root a knock off then you maybe lucky but without root there is no option. Really should have done more research before you bought a device that you might not be able to use. Mainly one from China.
I had the same problem with a blank screen when installing Google Playstore on a Xiaomi phone. I just updated the existent app using another app store named Aptoide. It worked for me, maybe you could try this one!
I'm guessing no one has found a solution? I'm interested in rooting for the Meitu M8.
hey..
as i know there is no root way for this device..?
Any luck for Meitu with google play?
I know this post with age... but still
Any luck for Meitu with google play?

Help with my Motorola z play Chinese version

Hello friend - please forgive any ignorance exhibited in my question.*
I received as a gift a Chinese version of Moto Z Play model xt1635-03 very cool phone. This is unlocked/dual SIM. I can choose English at setup, however none of the standard Android apps are present -- not even Play Store. I tried (and failed) to use a Chinese-language Lenovo app store to setup Play Store. Essentially this is a brick to me.*
Is there a way to solve? For example, can I root the device and install a standard version of Marshmallow? If so, would someone be kind enough to point me the right direction? I have a moderate amount of tech capability, but def not expert mode.
Again, sorry for rookie questions. Thank you

SM N9500 play store and rooting

Hello everyone,
I have bought a Note 8 from china, and I'm waiting for it to be shipped, so I want to know some details while I can still get a refund.
Can I install google play services, and be able to use them with no problem ?
Will I be able to root my phone in the future ?
Does the chinese model have some limitations compared to the other models ? If so, can I flash another model firmware on it ?
Thanks a lot for your help, I'm really worried about this purchase.
Ps: I'm sorry, I just noticed I posted this in the wrong section, if a mod sees this please transfer it to the appropriate section.
