Google Playstore > Alpha_SM-G8508S - Samsung Galaxy Alpha

HI All,
The thing is I lost my phone whilst working in China and so bought myself an Alpha_SM-G8508S .
I´ve rooted it and installed a few apks needed for work however googleapps is near impossible to get working and my bank app behaves the same, just shuts down when trying to launch it !
Followed all posts on xda to the letter but no joy.
Please anyone with an Alpha-SM-G8508S who has successfully installed gapps instruct me on how it´s done successfully.
Thanks.

same here
i am facing the same issue here but dont know how to fix it!!!!

I have this problem too. If you can't install Google Play in this device, maybe there is a way to install custom ROM so Google Play Store would work?

Ahhh but how would you root it????

Simple with ODIN, just google it.
But there is no benefit of rooting, i guess there are no custom ROM's for this vesion of Alpha

Hmmm now lets just forget about it cause i have sold it away

This won't work because the app was made for Android 4.0.4 and not for 4.1.2. Another problem should be the framework. So I think you should better forget about that
copy that...

[AUTO+MANUAL] [ALL ROM's] Google Play Services App

Many ROM's are not able to get Google Play Services this package does just that.
Install Google Play Services using CMD (Automated) or manually (by flashing using CWM) (Instructions and files included)!
Installing this fixes the YouTube Sign In problem.
NOTE: After installing, open CMD prompt at root of this package and run:
Code:
adb install GPS.apk
Download
Well, this is still untested.
If this does not work, I will try to fix it.
Not a big deal to fix by the way.
y duos
I was searching for it long time ago, get the apk but all my trials failed to install. Does your package offer extra updating script?
flashed in cwm - com.google.andriod.gsm.apk is in app folder but youtube still asked to install google play services if I want to sign in
also placed gps.apk in app folder manually and youtube still says its not installed when I try to sign in
application not installed if install as normal apk
via CWM
I've installed it via CWM but don't know what to do then??

If you will only use play services for YouTube.
Then use this YouTube app instead.
Same look with the latest app but does not need play services which is a memory hog
Just flash this zip in CWM

what do you mean by not working?
I'm using this, it doesn't need Play Services
be sure you mount system first before flashing
or you can extract the zip and push the Youtube.apk in system/app and set permission to rw-r-r
:good:
Which version is that ?¿
Sent From My GT-S5830 Using Tapatalk 2
4.1.23 bro
It's the best YouTube version IMHO since it doesn't require the memory hog app and it has the same look with the latest YT app

People you forgot adb install step!
Copy the GPS.apk in root of this zip to sdcard and install it after flashing it.
EDIT: Looks like I'll have to do some fixing.

I flashed it and when I rebooted YouTube wasn't there so I must've done something wrong. And now that you've mentioned it, I just flashed it without checking if it was mounted to system haha o.o Alrighty. I'll give it another go and will give my feedback in a bit. Thank you for your reply.
Hey BarJei! Just wanna let you know that I made sure to mount system this time before flashing your YouTube.zip and I was able to sign in without Google Play Services being required. Thank you so much for sharing that! :victory: BTW, Google Play Store says there's an update for the YouTube that I flashed from your .zip. Is it ok to update it or leave it be?
Now to figure out how to get Google Play Store's Error 942 out of my way from downloading certain apps from the Play Store.. -.-

Posting 'thanks' is a waste of time, that's why there's a button for it!
Btw OP your post is untested, right?
Why not try it first
I think Play Services error is related on the acct/uid/0 folder in the phone's root not in the app itself

Rooting ZTE Nubia N1

Hi all,
Just wondering if anyone has advice on how to go about rooting a ZTE Nubia N1? I recently picked one up and while it performs pretty well, I don't think I can live without the Play Store.
I'm totally new to rooting but I have some development experience so if anyone's looking for help, resources etc. I'll do my best to provide what I can.
For reference I've already tried just installing the Play Store and services framework from APK mirror, no dice. Tried running KingRoot as well but as expected, no luck.
Any advice/direction/help is much appreciated!
Thanks!

Start by installing twrp recovery using fastboot method, visit 4pda site for nubia n1 you'll get the method, then flash a custom rom(download it from needrom site) setup your phone and then reboot again and flash supersu and reboot you'll be seeing supersu icon in your homescreen that's it[NOTE: every time you flash file in twrp reboot to recovery once flashing is done and perform quick not advanced wipe after rebooting to recovery, this is required only while installing custom rom not for supersu]

[Request] Root For SM-G530P

So ive been looking for a updated root for the sm-g530p. I cant seem to find anything other than a root that has a really old kernel.
If anyone knows anything comment below, thanks
I don't know if this helps or if your issue has been solved already, but I have a kernel called TrapKernel. Just look it up, download it on your computer, then flash through Odin. It is the best I know of. Also, if your issue is battery life, download "Root Booster" and buy the premium version of Battery Boost. It is well worth the cost

****RESEARCH FOR YOURSELF LIKE WE ALL HAD TO**** UNTIL YOU KNOW HOW TO INSTALL AND USE ADB ON YOUR PC AND KNOW BASIC ADB COMMANDS, ESPECIALLY REBOOT COMMANDS, DO NOT TRY ROOTING AT ALL.
After rooting, research TWRP and install it for your device- it is available on the twrp website and linked on other forums in XDA. THEN read about how to make NANDROID backups in TWRP. Also buy the pro versions of titanium backup pro, root booster (in-app purchases for getti g the full version),and es file explorer pro from the Play Store. Trust me, you will thank me later a lot. And even without root Nova Launcher Prime is the bomb (so is es file explorer pro)
I have a lot on my mind and schedule rn and don't have time to teach people (no offense)
You don't even need to ask unless you have a technical issue on XDA threads anyway as there are TONS of forums explaining everything step by step for android and rooting. Just make sure to never use anything from XDA unless it's labeled for your exact device model, even if it's only like one letter off (such as SM-G530H). ONLY SM-G530P OR YOU WILL REGRET IT; I'M SPEAKING OUT OF EXPERIENCE
