Hi there,
I'm nearly certain that there is some interesting glitch that I should hunt for to get Google Play working. Has anyone any experience how to troubleshoot / investigate and look for "why google play doesn't sign in"?.
The reason i'm so certain is that I've tried all the major ways of getting it to run and none of them worked and there are no more ways on the internet to try. So the only option is to analyse it in deeper. If there's quite a good knowledge around I'd be happy to do a few tests.
Firstly, i've installed remix os from Arch linux. And the installation at the end ended up being so awesome easy, that now I can reinstall Remix OS in like 2 minutes (good for testing).
Environment: Asus EeePC 1000h;
Currently installed 'N' boot OS'es:
* windows 98
* windows 7
* arch linux
* remix os
The installation of Remix OS from Arch Linux:
* created ~50GB hard drive partition as extended partition
* made the partition ext4 type and mounted it
* extracted [initrd.img, system.sfs, ramdisk.img, kernel] to new partition
* edited /etc/grub.d/40_custom and inserted new lines:
Code:
if [ "${grub_platform}" == "pc" ]; then
menuentry "Remix OS 2.0 Resident"{
insmod ext2
insmod part_gpt
set root='hd0.msdos8' #my remix os is going to be installed /dev/sda8. so this line was my "guess"
search --file --no-floppy --set=root /system.img
linux /kernel root=/dev/ram0 androidboot.hardware=remix_x86 androidboot.selinux=permissive CMDLINE #i'm using x86, if you need - change it to x86_64
initrd /initrd.img
}
fi
* grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg (make a backup of grub.cfg before executing)
* grub-install /dev/sda
* create directory "data" in the mounted partition
Whoalia. The thing I've noticed is that one I start Remix OS, it extracts all of his data into /data directory. So, when ever I want to reinstall remix, i simply boot up my Arch linux and delete the "data" folder recursively and create it over again. After booting up remix os, I've tried installing Google play in numerous ways without any success and that's what bothers me no.
Sharing my process:
1. Downloaded GMSInstaller.apk (besides trying GMSInstaller.apk, i've tried some other APK's as well)
2. Installed APK file and run it.
3. Clicked on "One-click to install Google Services" (this will automatically download google play services)
4. cleared cache of all 3: play, framework and service
5. rebooted, google play didn't work
6. cleared cache again and repeated 5-6 for 2 times
7. tried clearing google play cache only, rebooted and tried to launch google play - still couldn't sign.
8. reinstalled remix os (deleted /data and let the os reextract it self)
9. went for the local copy by executing as root:
Code:
pm disable com.jide.apppolicy
pm enable com.android.vending
pm enable com.google.android.gms
pm enable com.google.android.gsf
pm enable com.google.android.gsf.login
repeated 4-6 steps afterward, still cannot sign in (and all caches are cleared numerous times).
10. reinstalled remix os (deleted /data and let the os reextract it self)
11. used Remix Central to install google play
12. repeated 4-6 steps afterward, still cannot sign in (and all caches are cleared numerous times).
13. random gues from internet
lookung at /etc/hosts and found the default entry of local host
How should I continue investigation further on?
FINAL RESULT:
Google play worked only with Remix OS for PC Hacked Edition [ v2.0.205 included/Prerooted/Busybox/init.d/Gapps] on ASUS EEEPC 1000H!!! WOOHOOO!
Looking towards it working on latest build...
I'm having the same issues with Google Play using VirtualBox. Tried all the fixes and still no-go. I'll keep an eye here for a fix.
the latest "plain test" which didn't change anything

1- Reboot fresh and don't do anything besides what's listed below.
2- Open your apps and click/tap on "Remix Central"
3- Click/tap on "Google Services Installer" (green ". . ." icon)
4- Inside "Google Services Installer", click/tap on "Install Google Services"
5- Reboot IMMEDIATELY. Do NOT sign-in to anything.
6- Everything should work, now.

Okey, doing it "live":
1. launching clean install (2016-07-11 10:26) and made a small break
2. select your language -> English (10:34)
3. user agreement (10:34)
4. wifi setup (10:35)
5. setup completed (10:35)
6. remix central (10:36)
7. reloaded remix central twice (wasn't connected yet 10:36)
8. there's no "google services installer", so clicking on "Google Play Installer" instead (yeah, same green "..." icon, 10:37, clicking on download sign, since clicking on app doesn't work)
9. opening downloads 10:39
10. clicking on downloaded GSM_activ...apk. Google services installer launched , clicking install 10:39
11. Open after installation and clicking "install google services" 10:40
12. downloading / installing; Got a warning: "Installation completed. Please reboot your system to use google services". Pressing "ok" and keeping the rest installer window open(10:41)
13. selected to restart 10:42
14. restarting, selecting remix os to boot up, remis os logo shows up 10:43
15. Remix os booted up, The PC is online. 10:44
16. launching google play store to check it out 10:44
17 loading... and boom! "There was a problem communicating with google servers". Try again later. 10:45
18. Clicking on "next" which closed the google play 10:45
Confirming - it DOES NOT work on Asus EeePC 1000H
Extra:
19. Clearing cache of all 3 services:
Google play store - force stop; clear data;
Google play services - force stop; manage space->clear all data->ok; and force stop again (weird);
Google services frame work - force stop; clear data; ok; force stop again (weird)
20. reboot; booting up remix os (10:54)
21. launching google play store to check it out 10:55
22. loading... and boom! "There was a problem communicating with google servers". Try again later. 10:55
23. Clicking on "next" which closed the google play 10:55
24 shutting down for the next options to be tried.
Confirming - it DOES NOT work on Asus EeePC 1000H again

there are no accounts added at all...
If I try to add a google account, i get the same message, that it failed to connect to google play services.
and i can't find older versions to try as well. Will try adding random, other then google account:
* adding Appstore account doesnt work
* adding Google account fails with "unable to connect to google services"
* adding quickpic account didn't help - still "unable to connect to google services" (after adding and after removing)
Tried upgrading different parts of the play store system from apkmirror.com:
1. Upgraded google play services to v. 9.2.56 (270-124593566)
2. Cleared all caches and restarted pc - play didn't work
3. upgraded google services framework to v.5.1-1743759
4. cleared all caches and restarted pc - play didn't work
5. upgraded google play store to v.6.8.22.F-all [0] 3046094
6. cleared all caches and restarted pc - play didn't work
I think this was still better, because instead of "Loading..." it said "Checking..." but still failed at the end with the same final result.
Trying to remove all the updates:
1. removed google play services updates back to v.8.3.01 (2385995-274)
2. cleared all caches and restarted pc - play didn't work, but instead of failing with "unable to connect to services" it just crashed.
3. Trying to launch play again - play didn't work as usual;
4. cleared all cache, tried launching again - didn't help
5. downgraded google services framework to v.5.1-1743759
6. cleared all caches and restarted pc - play didn't work
7. downgraded google play to v.5.10.30
8. cleared all caches and restarted pc - play didn't work, but instead of failing with "unable to connect to services" it just crashed on launch
9. Trying to launch play again - play didn't work as usual;
Trying to uninstall various applications:
* amazon - didn't help
* android bb - didn't help
* canon print service - didn't help
* google services installer - didn't help
* hp print service plugin - didn't help
* force stopped all jide services and cleared their cache - didn't help
*reset device by erasing everything - didn't help
fresh install of remix os for the next test, installing pkg's from apkmirror.com in the following order:
* google account manager v. 5.1-1743759
* google services framework v.5.1-1743759
* google play services v. 9.2.56 (270-124593566)
* google play store v.6.8.22.F-all [0] 3046094
* none opened after installed
* none appeared in settings->applications after installation
edit:
had to do previous code to enable services:
Code:
pm disable com.jide.apppolicy
pm enable com.android.vending
pm enable com.google.android.gms
pm enable com.google.android.gsf
pm enable com.google.android.gsf.login
rebooted and play failed...
* tried to clear cache after last try - failed
*downgraded current version of google play service to stock and tried dumb luck on launching google play again - failed
*cleared cache just to make sure that no magic happened here and failed on google play again.
*trying different builds of the latest google play service:
*9.2.56 (070-124593566) - fail before and after cache clearing / rebooting; however started to receive strange notification: "Google play services won't run unless you update google play services". Lol, no accounts created (empty)
* 9.2.56 (270-124593566) - was tested already in previous attempts, moving blindly with other versions...
* 9.2.56 (280-124593566) - that would be hell of the fun if worked (TV version)... but as expected after cache clear and reboot - failed, and no account created as well
* 9.2.56 (470-124593566) - parse error, while trying to launch the package (no wonder because it's for android 6+)
* 9.2.56 (480-124593566) - same as before
* 9.2.56 (876-124593566) - cleared cache, reboot - same results (failed to connect...)
* downgrading google play to default version for fun to check how it doesnt work with 9.2.56 (876-124593566) - yep, it still doesn't work
* upgrading play back up, since it's most likely google play services problem...
conclusion: * (27*) builds should be tested at any version in future tests.
I'm having the same problem on my Sony Vaio laptop booting from grub2 from my Ubuntu install.
tried to install couple of different versions:
* Google Play services 9.2.55, build (070-124180755) - although apk is x86, but it fails to work on pc since it's suited for android < 5, that is 070 built. Pointless test (however no other x86 of this version was found on apkmirror)
* Google Play services 9.0.83, build (9083270) - same results on failing to sign.
Starting to consider if it's worthy to test any older versions at all...
Testing another version of Remix OS for PC Hacked Edition [ v2.0.205 included/Prerooted/Busybox/init.d/Gapps]
* extracted [initrd.img, system.img, ramdisk.img, kernel] to new partition - ATTENTION, IT'S system.img not system.sfs as in latest Remis OS
* edited /etc/grub.d/40_custom and the right lines (same as on first post, changed system.sfs to system.img)
* grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg
* grub-install /dev/sda
* create directory "data" in the mounted partition
*after launch / installation it seems that google play isn't accessable by default as well... oh well ... let's try old stuff:
Code:
pm disable com.jide.apppolicy
pm enable com.android.vending
pm enable com.google.android.gms
pm enable com.google.android.gsf
pm enable com.google.android.gsf.login
* clearing cache of all 3 + stopping service and rebooting PC at the end
*AND IT WORKS!!!! (now i wish it would work with original version!)
Remix OS for PC Hacked Edition [ v2.0.205 included/Prerooted/Busybox/init.d/Gapps] with Google play works on ASUS EEEPC 1000H!!! WOOHOOO!
Now going to do some tests with google play
I gave it another reboot and it started to download and install applications . Cheers!

I updated to Android 11 today, and got the same issue.
I found this:

10.11.2019 new beta 4.7.5 released on Play Store. See change log on Play Store https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.oasisfeng.greenify NOTE: YOU MUST REGISTER FOR GREENIFY BETA to install the Beta versions. See the Greenify...

I got the same bug with Anroid 11
Hope that they will fix it soon

~Same problem here too.
Same problem here
I have the very same problem. I have another question and pleased to be answered; how to degrant a permission from greenify for example?
If it's like this
to grant:
adb -d shell pm grant com.oasisfeng.greenify android.permission.DUMP
to degrant:
adb -d shell pm degrant com.oasisfeng.greenify android.permission.DUMP
?
Same. And the app is not working as well as before the OS 11.1.1.1 update. Eg. Instagram is constantly waking up despite being Greenfied, along with various other apps.

Hi, by default, EMUI won't let you choose your own launcher.
There is an easy trick, from terminal or adb shell, to setting your own launcher as default launcher :
-1 : install your favorite launcher
-2 : use this command :
Code:
pm disable-user --user 0 com.huawei.android.launcher
-3 : reboot your phone
-4 : setting for choosing a launcher is here ! Choose your always favorite launcher !
-5 : if you keep huaweï emui launcher disabled, you won't gonna have task manager, re-enable it with this command :
Code:
pm enable com.huawei.android.launcher
Enjoy !
Ps : sometimes, an update of EMUI will reset the home launcher to the emui launcher, you can do this trick again.
