[Q] Chinese Samsung Galaxy ON 5 without GAPPS, help! - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello everyone.
I got this Samsung Galaxy ON5 (SM-G5500 with android 5.1.1) as a gift, someone bought it for me while they were on china. Turns out the phone doesnt have Gapps on it and since the phone is new(launched on nov/2015 i think) i cant find how to root/custom recovery and flash gapps, cant find any roms either. What can i do, can someone help me or am i stuck?

Most likely not much you can do. First I would make sure it's real. Many China based devices are knock offs and not real devices. Then they change the files to make it look real when it's not.

Yes, when i first got it that was the first thing i looked into, it's real.
Wish i could at least flash gapps on it, idealy i would love a custom rom.
I found a chinese forum on google that i think has some info about rooting and a Custom recovery for it, but i've no idea how to verify it, would you be willing to look into it?

I could install gapps on SM-G5500 using TWRP.

Thanks to this post for the recovery. Before that, needed to unlock bootloader using a CROM app.

do you know which gapps is working on the rooted g5500? i tried few gapps.
the only way i could get into google store is if i would install the google play apk (these installation usually crash when i open the application) then open twrp recovery and install the micro or pico open gapps (by the way- the open gapps is installed perfectly but after that i can't see the google play in the system. don't know why). the google play store is working until the part of when it should download the application i'm choosing and then it crashes. do you know why?
thx

Try Google for the firmware name.

Do you have accessibility to OpenGAPPS ? That's what I would end up using when I would have an AOSP rom where it wouldn't include anything Google.

Of course it will but don't forget to clear Dalvik Cache and Wipe all after installing a new ROM.
You need to install gapps for your phone. Search in the rom thread and flash it to your phone

That depends on whether that particular rom you plan to install have Google play (gapps) installed. Look through all the information and posts about the rom. If you don't find the information there, make a post on that rom page. Maybe you can come in touch with the developer of the rom and ask.

Hi
I have the same problem, says "link2sd could not be installed due to an error". I have already installed the gapps from bieltv's blog during the rom flashing itself. Do i have to flash again? The market app also has not turned to play store so does that mean the gapps install didn't work?

Pico only contains Google core apps, Play Store and Play Services. Pico contains the least Google apps and more are included on every package as you go up the table from Pico to Aroma. Hope this helps

It works very very well, with a new camera app that includes a better HDR mode, along HDR auto mode, quick setting toggles, and lot of features and optimizations

This rom do not have Google service or Playstore, its stock China rom. A lot of Google force close when you install Google service and Playstore. FC seems never stop so it's headache unless you can stop the FC.

I am using open gapp pico, all Google apps work perfectly.
I deleted some apps in ROM that I don't like, now it's pretty clean for me.
There is a small problems that, when set to English display, some menus are not shown correctly, looks those menus are in Chinese and not translated to English.
CBG 28S v2 also work fine for me, it come with Google service and Playstore, debloated most Chinese apps

11.7.46.
I am surprised you have stock recovery, I thought that zip is not real stock, so I was able to use tWRP to install that zip. normally tWRP cannot install stock zip.

Tried practically all versions of Google Play Service but still no luck. Keep getting the Google Services had stopped message. Removed the Google account and added it back, then I got the Problem in Communicating with Google Server. Had to revert back to 026S and wait for the official OTA update.

I use opengapps on my Samsung S5 with LineageOS. I've never tried microg. Microg has problems with LineageOS because of signature spoofing. I don't know if that would also cause problems with AOSP.
If you use opengapps install the pico size. It is smaller and less likely to cause problems. You can install any additional services not included in the pico package from the play store.

Open Gapps is Gapps. It is not really different from just installing from google (not putting down what they do here, just saying). Also, you will not be able to install on Android 10 as we have no TWRP.

I was just asking for this. I can't flash a twrp on android 10. Is it because there isn't a compatible version for pixel 3? Thanks
There is no TWRP for android 10 on this device.
