For those on lollipop starting with Play Services 8.1 google has introduces a new numbering theme. To find out which one you need to download read this that was posted on apkmirror.com
Notes / What's New
This is the first time we saw a build ending with -2XX.
It seems that -4XX is now for Marshmallow+, and -2XX is for Lollipop+. I.e., if you're on Lollipop, and you had -438 before, now you'll need -238, etc.
*WARNING*: We've seen reports of constant crashes with these. Proceed at your own risk.
If you want to try it you can go to apkmirror and download it and install it. it should still be on the front page, if not go here and scroll down to find your version https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google-inc/google-play-services/ . It seems to work for me but I don't know if it will work for everybody
For those that don't know how to see which version of play services you have: To figure out the right version of Google Play services for your Android device, go to Settings -> Apps -> Google Play services, and look at the last 3 numbers in the parentheses
Hopefully this will help those who update Google Play Services manually.
I hate when they do this.. Time to download a newer gapps zip. Lol

Hello guys,
First, I want to say I'm new here so dont judge me I have a problem. I installed CyanogenMod, the newest version, I guess (nightly, date 2014-11-14 12:59:24, its kitkat 4.4.4.). It works just fine. Then, as I know, I need to install GApps. But I tried like 100 gapps zip files. Every file i installed, dont have Google play store and other google services. What should I do? Maybe someone can give me correct gapps download link, which i should use?
Update!: It actually shows some of google apps like play books, play games, youtube, play movies. but, for example i try to start any google app, it says "google play services, which some of your applications rely on, is not supported by your device. Please contact the manufacturer for assistance."
Update!: found proper gapps for 4.4.4 kitkat, but phone says it doesnt have enough memory to install them. actually it has dafuq?
Thank you very much!
Can I update the google services? Lots of apps I want to use require the google services to be updated.
A lot of Google apps scream that they want the latest Google Play Services (GpS), but in reality will function with any version of GpS, and sometimes even without any GpS at all (just a dummy one), see this thread : http://4pda.ru/forum/index.php?showtopic=550506
In reality, just install these versions of google stuff as per instructions into /system/priv-app :
Google Account Manager 4.4.4
Google Play Services (GMS) 7.0.99
Google Play Store 5.5.12
Google Services Framework 4.4.4
And create /system/app/com.google.android.gms-1.apk folder to block GpS from updating.
Whatever app cannot work without the latest GpS for real, just find an older version of it, install it into /system/priv-app, and create an appropriate folder in /system/app (as above) in order to block the updates for this specific app.

Could be worse, could be CHINESE
Anyway, there is not much to it, other than people disabling GpS via that dummy app and then trying different gapps to see if they work.
Is there any working method to keep certain version of Google Play Store and prevent it from auto updating itself in CM12.1 (Android 5.1)?
I've read a tutorial on XDA (LINK) about creating specific folders but my GPS is still updating itself to 6.2.10.A-all version.
In this version I have error code 963 while updating my applications.
In "factory version" of Google Play Store (5.0.36) I don't have this problem, and applications updates correctly (so, now I have to remove GPS update and restore to factory version, update my apps - I have to do these steps every time I want to update my apps because GPS is auto updating itself to the newest version after launching it)
unistal the current google play store and install play store apk version you wish to work with it
thats it

Hi,
I have a Hyundai i35 2016 model. it came with a multimedia system that runs Android . however it does not have Google Play store installed.
recently i attended Hyundai and the mechanic upgraded the multimedia operating system (to 4.4.2), and i was able to convince him to give me the update file
That file opens up very simply using 7zip and i was able to add any application apk that i want, and just use that edited file and upgrade the multimedia with it. so i can have any application that i want now.
unfortunately, i was not able to add Google Play store successfully. (it crushes when i try to lunch it).
After reading many threads, i understand that i probably need in addition to the google Play Store to install the following: (please correct me if i'm wrong)
Google Account Manager
Google Services Framework
Google Play Service
I did try to install those in addition to the Play store, but still it will crush (together with the play services..)
I am guessing that i need to use specific versions of all 4, but i do not know how to pick the correct ones. (maybe i'm missing something else..)
If there is anyone out there that knows what i'm missing and can help it will be awesome
anyone?

Enjoy.
frist be root! then download Google Installer
Hello. I will begin with my root problem: I need to install newer (than stock 5.0.2) android on LG v490.
I installed the LineageOS (android 7.1.2), rooting with KingRoot -> using Flashify to boot into TWRP -> installed LineageOS.
During that whole process I was unable to boot to see bootloader (it was just normally booting) using adb. Now it also looks impossible.
Now I would like to install Google Play Store: downlaoded the package and the instructions says (because it's not just .apk file) to isntall this using TWRP. I cannot boot to TWRP. Last time (with stock ROM) i booted into TWRP using Flashify, but Flashify requires root from me. I am using Kingo Root, KingoRoot (and something else) both for Android and PC and every time it shows me "fail" or "Unable to root".
What can I do now in order to install Google Store?
@Morales1235
In order to install Google Play Store phone's Android must NOT got rooted.
You install it manually.
How-to:
Download from APKMIRROR these 4 APKs matching your phone's Android version:
Google Account Manager APK
Google Services Framework APK
Google Play Services APK
Google Play Store APK
Install the downloaded APKs in exact this order
Google Account Manager APK → Google Services Framework APK → Google Play Services APK → Google Play Store APK
to get the Google Play Store working correctly.
Finally re-boot
Thank you! Let's see, but...
How can I know which version of Google Play Services is proper for my android version? This is the only APK that has different numbering than android.
@edit
Ok, I downlaoded the latest version of Google Play Services for android 6.0+. After installation in given order constantly I get error that Google Services Framework stopped working. Wrong version or what?

Read here.
Buttons for clearing data and cache for Google Play Services are unavailable :/ Tried to just force stop Google Play Services and proceed with the others (as says in the link provided) but after reboot and running store I am still getting this error. No help in comments in provided article.
Anyone knows which version of "Google Play Services" (and then Google Play Store) should I choose for Lineage OS 7.1.2? I Suppose Play services keeps stopping because of wrong version.

You mix up Google Play Services and Google Services Framework: these are 2 different things!
Google Services Framework is used to update Google apps and apps from Google Play Store. This component provides core functionality like authentication to your Google services, synchronized contacts, access to all the latest user privacy settings, and higher quality, lower-powered location based services.
The required version of Google Services Framework depends on phone's model and Android version.

How do you say I'm mixing these thing? According to few posts above:

1. Acc manager: I found version 7.1.2
2. Services Framework: found version 7.1.2
3. Play Services: Numeration is different than android version! (eg. 20.26.14)
4. Play Store: Numeration is different than android version! (different numbers than above)
How should I determine which version of Services and Store I need to install?
@Morales1235
You still don't get it. :crying:
That was your post

Hence the Google Services Framework ( GSF ) you installed is not compatible!
FYI: The Google Play Services ( GMS) contains the individual Google services and runs as a background service in the Android OS.
BTW: I no longer participate this thread. Have a nice day.
