I need to pair a watch with a phone that has just AOSP flashed on it and so I'm trying to figure out if/how I can install Google Play Services/Google Play Store onto the phone. (In order to pair the watch with the phone I need to install the Android Wear App, but I can't do that if the phone doesn't have Google Play Store/Google Play Services installed).
My phone is a Nexus 5 with the Lollipop AOSP installed, so I just tried installing the GSP apks using adb but I keep getting error messages that GPS has stopped running.
I'm an iOS developer and new to Android and have been searching for days how to solve my problem without success, so I'd be grateful if somebody could help me with the following questions:
1) If I get Google Play Services and Google Play Store apks from somewhere like apkmirror.com and install them will I be able to access the Android Wear app on Google play and download/install/run it?
2) If not then if I get the Android Wear app itself from somewhere like apkmirror.com and install it along with GPS will the Android Wear app run?
3) When I try to install GSP why do I get the error messages about it stopping? Are there other dependent components I need to also install to make it run?
4) Can I install it using adb or do I have to install it using a recovery? If so, then why does a recovery have to be used to install it, whats the difference between installing via a recovery and installing via adb?
Thanks for any insight, I'm getting nowhere and getting frustrated trying to work all this out.
I had exactly the same problem and could solve it.
I described my solution here:
https://code.google.com/p/aosp4nexus5/wiki/AOSPforNexus5
The documentation describes two alternatives:
1. Manual installation which is lost with every new flashing of the system image
2. Integration in the build process to create a system image including Google Play Store as vendor-specific prebuilt APKs
Thanks, I'll try it out
Do you have any ideas where I could get GoogleServicesFramework.apk from?
Places like apkmirror have GooglePlayStore.apk and GooglePlayServices.apk for Lollipop but not GoogleServicesFramework, (why would they have 2 of them but not all of them?).
I don't have a Nexus 10 device so can't obtain them as you did in your post.

You can unzip the file gapps-lp-20141109-signed.zip from BasketBuild https://s.basketbuild.com/gapps
You find it under system/priv-app/GoogleServicesFramework.
The name of the APKs may differ. GooglePlayServices is named something like GsmCore or com.google.android.gsm.
The Play Store is named something like Phonesky or Vending.
Thanks very much
Hello all! Please help!!! I have a rooted Kindle Fire HDX 7" that I have successfully used each and every day until yesterday. All of a sudden I kept getting the "Google Play Store has stopped" error message. I went back into ES File Explorer and hit the "Google Play services_4.4.52" file and installed hoping that this might help and now when I click on the "Google Play Games" app I get the "Update Google Play Services - This app won't run unless you update Google Play Services" Update message. Also nothing shows up inside the "Google Play Store" app as well.
WHAT DO I DO & HOW DO I DO IT?!?!?!?! I use this Kindle ALL the time and love it, but don't want to mess anything up any further without taking the proper steps from the experts!
Don't know if this is all the information you might need (my Google Play Store Build Version is 5.3.6). If I can provide anything further to troubleshoot, please let me know.
THANK YOU MUCH IN ADVANCE!!!!!!
I'm leaving town late this afternoon and hope to fix beforehand.
My 8.9 HDX is doing this too. I was wondering what changed.
My kindle fire 7" is doing the same. Was working fine yesterday and then today error after error. Now google play store shows "check your connection and try again" no joy there either. "Google Play services has stopped" repeatedly popping up.
Happening to my hdx too. Hopefully someone finds out what's going on soon.

Google Play services 7.3.x began rolling out last week and will silently update existing installations without notification/permission. Believe the prior version was 7.0.
Best guess is 7.3.x introduces an incompatibility with Fire OS 3.2.6 (likely all 3.x Mojito variants). Hopefully someone can identify a fix. Rolling back to v7.0 or earlier won't help as it will quickly auto update.
Google Play Services and Google Play Store are separate entities. The latter is currently at v5.3.x transitioning to v5.4.x. The two services can and often do update independently (and silently).

That's what I was thinking.
Those affected should downgrade Google Play Services to a previous version and prevent it from auto-updating.
Unfortunately, this prohibits the use of GApps on their latest versions or so, such as YouTube 5.0+
Try this
Go into your file browser that has root permissions I recommend es file manager.
Navigate to device press etc folder
Scroll to file named hosts open it with a text editor like the one in es file manager.
Delete the # sign or if still not working the whole text in it.
Once done reboot it may solve the issue. Worked for me on multiple devices.
This fix is for those who get the no connection error with retry button below it on play store or youtube.. This also applies to the your device may not be provisioned for data services error on sign in to Google account.
How do I know which magic 3 letter extension to get when I go to the repository for older versions? In particular I have the 7" Kindle Fire HDX. Secondly, assuming that I get the correct version, how do I install it? I assume that the standard click on a apk file won't work because its a lower version than what's currently installed?

Hey.
How to find correct version:
1. You need an installed version on your tablet (doesnt matter if its the non working new one or the one you had from beginning).
2. Go to Settings -> Apps -> all apps and browse to "google play services"
3. click it
4. below the name of the app (here "google play services") is the version of the installed app. The last 3 letters are the one you need. I have a "german" Kindle Fire HDX 7 (codename Thor) and i have version 036
Beside from that:
I managed to keep my kindle "unupdated" for 3 days now.. dont know if it stays this way. You need root and a root browser like ES File Explorer.
0. have root and install ES File Explorer of amazon store or play store or APK
1. download the 7.0.99 Version of "google play services" (last version that worked here) from any source you think is ok^^
2. uninstall "google play services" (in app menu see above)
3. disconnect from internet
4. install the downloaded 7.0.99 version
5. open ES File Explorer
6. go to /data/app and look for "com.google.android.gms-1.apk" this should be the 7.0.99 you just installed.
7. create a file (in /data/app) and name it "com.google.android.gms-2.apk"
8. Youre done.
Like this youtube, twitch, etc which stopped working with the 4.x version work and as the OS "thinks" that the ...-2.apk is the correct one, it tries to update this (which doesnt work as its an empty file).
All here is at your own risk!!!

With some exceptions v036 should work for most JellyBean and KitKat installations including those on Kindle HDX. I can confirm 036 works with the Nexus rom; don't have my tablet handy to check CM11. I suspect the same can be said for the gaps hacks on Fire OS which is either JB (Mojito) or KK (Sangria) based.
Mibox 3S Chinese version (MDZ-19-AA) - Need help to add Google services & Play Store
Hello everyone,
I want to add google service and play store but i want to keep the Chinese interface and software.
I found this thread "https://forum.xda-developers.com/android-stick--console-computers/amlogic/s905x-help-mi-box-3s-mdz-19-aa-t3521362" based on the original link "http://miui.vn/forum/threads/tat-tan-tat-ve-mibox-3s-mdz-19-aa-gapps-android-tv-tool-tu-dong-tu-a-z-v3.36880/"
The guide show how to change Chinese Mibox 3S into classic Android TV but i don't want to change the UI or delete chinese apps (my wife is chinese and use default apps), i just want to add Google services and more the Play store. I don't want the Android TV Launcher (Leanback launcher)
I've tried a Gapps package found on internet "http://www.teamandroid.com/2017/06/21/download-google-installer-v2/" everything can be installed but it is impossible to log in the google account and play store don't launch.
I also tried to adapt the batch in the guide seen in the XDA forum but i don't know exactly what apk package the box needs to add google services, what permissions have to be changed,...
Here the automatic installation batch file which copy through ADB files, make dir, delete chinese apps, change launcher,... (i changed the extension file .bat to .txt )
Please help me, i know this is not technicaly difficult but i don't know how to proceed.
Thanks
Regards
check on youtube tutorials for Chinese phones like xiaomi and meizu how to add google play, because I remember there is an app that adds all the google package (because google play will not work without google play services and other few apps). I will come back to you if I find the app or any helpful link
Today's date is 17.06.2018 and many things have been changed on the world as well as the patches of the store's download location changed throughout the time.
So, Where is the current location for Google Play Store? I mean the location before installation.
Why do I ask this?
I downloaded a large apk file from Play store. It was successfully downloaded but because of a configuration I use Google Play Store was unable to install it. After I turn this configuration off it installs the apk files without problem but when enabled it is not possible. Anyway, I don't want to download it again and if I forget to turn it off again in the future I want to learn the temporary download location of this apk files so that I can install them on my own if Play Store fails.
I had searched on the other posts but I couldn't find it in the locations mentioned in the previous posts.
I use Android 7.0 Nougat stock ROM on LG G4 H815.
Thanks beforehand.

Hello
Tried the Link https://huaweiadvices.com/download-g...k-for-android/.
And download the Google Installer 3.0 & Old Version 2.0 APK, Also not Working :crying:
See The Attachment.
But Thank you Mr: @jwoegerbauer for the Method. Waiting for another solution.
Best Regards...
@SUNNY4EVER
Then try to install it manually.
How-to:
Download from APKPURE these 4 APKs matching your HUAWEIS'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. Installing them out of order will result in the Google Play Store not working, and I can confirm this.
Re-boot

The API which lz would intercept is no longer present on our devices. Currently there is absolutely no way to get Google services working. You can only get Vance YouTube which spoofs a Google API and allows you to log in to YouTube only.
Hi. Has anyone somehow managed to install google play services on the matepad 10.4? I can't believe there is no way to do it. Does anyone know if the google apps can be installed even though the google play store? I have seen out there that there are people who install virtual environments but I do not know if that will slow down.

Tried the virtual environment - it's not so good. I could not rotate the screen to watch Youtube in Landscape/Full screen.
I have tried numerous method, in the end, it is always the Chinese backup software not recognizing the Matepad that fails.
I've tried this method as well: pixelstech.net/article/1580640179-Install-Google-services-on-Huawei-MatePad still the same outcome. I have already downgraded my firmware in order to use Googlefier, but it is always this application that cannot work.

Googlefier - Install GMS on Huawei/Honor
Wecome to Googlefier, After a successful tool for LG G2 and LG G3 owners (AutoRec), but after a long pause, here is something new and I hope useful Googlefier is a simple tool, designed to help you install GMS on your Huawei/Honor device...
forum.xda-developers.com
How far is it, I have no idea. I have tried numerous methods, they always fail on this LZPlay. As long as this app prompted an error, then most likely you'll never succeed.
Hi guys hopefully there is a better solution I've found last night tinkering trying so many different methods. My matepad 10.4 is brand new factory sealed and just to make sure I hard reset it when I opened the box.
So was on the first firmware ending in .118
Tried using benders method but can't make Lzplay app to activate or even load past the error screen in chineese saying device not supported.
Only working methods I've found is to download an environment like vmos pro, dual space and gspace. I'm currently using gspace downloaded from the app gallery still on .118 firmware and no updates done on any apps.
Someone mentioned to download both gspace and gspace32. They work but the play store icon disappears. So I've left a few apps I don't want like WhatsApp on the tablet etc so when I click that, I press back on top left arrow inside playstore, then can browse the store. The play store icon disappears, but can still browse if you click any app inside gspace but never install that app. Obviously this is like second space and I'm not using my main Gmail account through the gspace app.
So hopefully a more robust way of using play store will become available instead of a virtual environment.
Is there any update?
Nope.... this tablet appears to be an impossible device to get Google on to.
This is the first time I've gotten an Android device that I could never figure out how to get the Play Store working on...
Is it possible to re-flash this device with another version of android?
Unfortunately Android without the Play Store is quite difficult.
I think there's currently no way to install natively GMS because since Googlefier doesn't support anything over 10.1.0.150 and that the Matepad 10.4 doesn't have any ROM that is under that version so I hope that maybe someone could find a way to install GMS with > EMUI 10.1.0.150
