Hi all,
I have a ZTE S2004 from China that does not have the usual pre-installed Google apps. I had e-mailed the manufacturer (both the North American and Chinese customer service) and was notified that because the phone is from China, it does not support Google services.
I recently found out about and downloaded KingRoot v4.5 and Root Explorer v3.3.5 to try and install Google APKs as described in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1874285. I installed the APKs , then changed the permissions to align with the other APK files, restarted the phone and then tried to install the apps via the APKS. They all said installation successful, but the apps crash and do not work, with the error message reading "Unforunately [program] has stopped".
Thanks.

Most likely because that thread is 3 years old. The apps are very outdated. Would try the same steps with the updated version of the Google apps.

Sorry I forgot to mention that the phone is using Android version 4.4.4 and I read that some of the APKs only supported 5.0+. I am unsure how to proceed.

Should just need the Play Store and Google Services Framework installed to get started. With 4.4, they should be placed into /system/priv-app with the correct permissions. 0644 I believe. Once placed there, permissions set, and rebooted, you should be able to access the store and download the rest of the stuff you need. I'd just grab them from a 4.4 Gapps package. They will be slightly outdated, but should be easily updatable.

I have encountered a problem with the Play Store installation. I had downloaded a newer version of Google Play Store and have tried to uninstall it, but it still remains and I fear it is blocking the 4.4.4 version. I cannot remove it by using the default removal option or even root explorer. I attempted to reset the phone but that has not worked either.
The installation for Google Services Framework was successful, but when I tried to use the Google Play Store, it would open and subsequently close immediately, no error message showing and the process itself still running.
So you've deleted it with Root Explorer and it came back after reboot or there was an error when trying to remove it?

I'm not sure but you can try this.
Root your phone,get a new custom rom.
use a vpn service app to access internet on your device. i think that will do the work.
Note: select VPN provider of somewhere outside china
here is a download link of a VPN app CLICK DOWNLOAD
Try this and let me know

There was no error when trying to remove it, but it still appears on the phone after the reboot.

I am unsure which custom ROMs are available, as I have been unable to find any for my phone model, S2004. The most common ones I've seen are the ZTE Blade and ZTE Warp.

Then you can do one thing, download firmware of your device but of some other country. It may work for you.

There is no other firmware available, my phone is currently only available in China.
Any update on this ? I have the same phone and it's useless without the google related apps (and it would be great to have a newer version of android on it too)
Thanks,
When I try to install an app it says app not installed. I have tried signing the app, changing the version number and can't get it to work. I have tried installing apks I have downloaded and patched apks from lucky patcher and nothing works. So is there something that doesn't allow the phone to install modified apps?
I can't install samsung keyboard apk on my samsung galaxy s9+
Are you trying to install a new version of an apk that's already on your phone? If so, can you uninstall the older version first?
it is Android 8.0 security features. Google removed install unknown source. You need to give specific permission to file browsers or apps that does the install - for example, if you have app, copy to your phone, and open Samsung File, and click to install.

Yeah I did that to allow installs from Samsung file browser and lucky patcher but still not installing. It let's me push the install button and starts the process then says app not installed. I made sure that the previous version is not installed and reset the phone but still not working
Yeah I have allowed installs from the apps I am using to try to install and there isn't a previous version on the phone I made sure to uninstall the app and restart the phone after and still not allowing the install. It starts the install then says app not installed

the app you trying to install, unmodified one, go apkmirror.com and search for it, it should list different version, some apps has arm and arm64 version, download it to your phone, and install it.
your s9/s9+ are arm64

Emm nobody?
Samsung blocked sideloading most of it's system apps. Nothing you can really do about it.
Replace app with tutuapp
Your Android application may not be suitable for them. What you need to do now is:
Try updating Android, otherwise you go to the store by reinstalling your device, but this is very time consuming and costly. You can also use tutuapp android (visit tutuappplus.net to download) this free app store that helps me use great apps for Android.
Hi Everyone,
So apparently after updating my XA2 Ultra to android 9.0 I am unable to install the themes I used
via APK. I read on the internet that this is something Sony is disabling for some reason.
Does anyone know a way to install a theme using the APK file and not from the Google Pay store?
Every time I try to Install them It just tells me that it couldn't be install and that's it.
Any help will be appreciate it.
Thanks everyone.

Hi,
I used to have the same problem, for *some* APKs even on 8.0. What i did (not sure what caused the problem, actually) was:
1) Enable unknown sources via dev. menu
2) Disable the Play Protect and built-in antivirus(es), e.g. AVG
3) Disable app checking from Google options (this might be tricky, because the app itself didn't show me this option, bit it came up eventually, don't remember how, i think when you try to install the .apk via ES or some other file explorer.)
Now it gives me the "App not installed" or "Unable to install" only when i try to update an app that was not originally installed from the Play Store, but (for example Aptoide or other Black Market store) it can be remedied by simply uninstalling the old app and install the new one.
Hope this helps. Good luck!
When I try to install the apks with the android installer it tells me that it could not be installed, I tried with several versions and several applications and in all the same
I saw that other people could with my device installing it with ADB, but it gives me a:
Code:
>/ adb install "[apk]"
>/ Performing Streamed Install
>/ adb: failed to install [apk]: Failure [INSTALL_FAILED_BLOCKED_CROSS_DOWN: INSTALL_FAILED_BLOCKED_CROSS_DOWN]

Good lock is only for the United States, and since I am from Argentina it does not appear in the Galaxy Store, and when I enter its website it tells me that this application does not exist.
I already tried several vpns (removing the sim card) but the same happens in all vpn

The only apks that I cannot install are those of Good Lock, all the others are perfect for me, I don't know what happens with the Good Lock ones
I have everything configured correctly, I am beginning to believe that in the Galaxy A Series they cannot be installed in any way, since I saw several users from a01 to a21 who say that it does not allow them.

Updated! Works on latest OS Version C16!
This way you can completely hide the Google Feed aka Discover on your home screen. This will not only hide the elements (and let you live with an ugly empty page) and works on Android 13.
1. Install the attached apk.
After a reboot discover should be replaced by HiAssistant
2. Execute this command on adb shell:
Code:
pm disable-user --user 0 com.oplus.leftscreen

Found no solution for C12 until now.
It's possible to uninstall the current package via ADB to install the version from this thread but the phone restores the new version after a reboot and Google Discover is back.
