Hey all.
I've got Honda Jazz with built-in multimedia system running Android 4.0.4.
I am trying to install navigation apps such as Waze and Google Maps but nothing works.
I have tried to install both via USB stick (the install button is greyed out and unclickable) and by downloading the APK - the installation is initiated but then it says "app not installed".
I suspect that the version I've downloaded from Google Play is not compatible with my system.
Any thoughts on how I can successfully bypass all the restrictions and install those apps? Or maybe to install Google Play store and services?

I was able to get my Google account sync'd and Gapps installed. Now the issue I'm having is installing some apps on Bluestacks. For instance the 'Call of Duty' app says that it's not compatible with my device. When I go to the Play store from a browser it shows that the 'device' is being listed as a T-Mobile Samsung GT-I9100 which isn't compatible. So do I need to change the device type within Bluestacks to get it to allow these sorts of apps to be installed and if I do this will it make some things unstable? Is there another way that I can install this? I assume I can locate an APK and load it that way but there was an update yesterday and I'm not able to find the most recent version (1.1.300) of that app. The ideal solution would be to install from the store to make updates cleaner.
Thoughts?
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,
i've got a pretty weird problem i can't figure out.
I'm trying to install netflix and get a 505 error in the play store. Using an apk from unknown sources, either netflix or apkmirror, tells me the installation would be an update, but fails after trying to install.
I've tried deleting the netflix folder in /android, deleting Cache and Data from google framework, playstore and Services, download manager. Restarting the phone.
The app also doesn't show up in application manager, app drawer and play store, it just Shows the regular green install Button.
Using a Note 4 n910c, latest Updates installed, no root.
Thank you in advance for your help
I'm using Samsung Galaxy Trend 3 SM-G3502U, having android of version 4.2.2
Since this is a Chinese device, so it was normal to be shipped without GApps. So, I tried to to install the latest version among the versions which are compatible with Android 4.2.2 of the following apps from APKMirror:
Google Play Services
Google Play Services Framework
Google Calendar Sync
Google Contacts Sync
Google Account Manager
Still, no luck, since when I tried logging into Snapchat, a pop-up "popped" out, saying that google play services is not supported by my device.
Also, when I installed and opened the latest version of Play Store among the compatible versions for Android 4.4.2 from APKMirror, it showed "Error retrieving information from server RH-01" which meant that I didn't have the compatible GApps installed.
Now, are there anymore ways to try out for me so that my phone supports Google Services Framework, or I am left out with installing a custom ROM?
Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks in advance!!!
And wait, there is one more information I can give you if you find it useful.
Having all the apps listed above installed, I installed the "Device ID" app by Evozi. It couldn't show me the GSF. The space for that was left out empty instead.
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?

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:

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.
