I just purchased an Acer 735 Chromebook.
I am trying to get Google Play to load (and it does) {I am running the beta channel latest chrome OS}. My problem is that when I try to download/install an app from the Google Play store it never completes, I noted that there is a notation that says that I have no devices associated with my gmail account (or something like that). Can anyone tell me what the problem is and is there any way to get google play store apps to install on my chromebook? My information shows this chromebook to be an Acer 735 Series (735-C7Y9) model N15Q10.
Thank You,

Hi
I'm looking to buy the "Scroll extreme" android tablet (from eBuyer) - it has ICS but it DOESNT have the marketplace (apparently it has to be licences by Google so it probably helps reduce the cost by not providing it)
I've heard that Marketplace can be installed using an APK download however, I dont know if anyone has actually tried or if its just an assumption.
Does anyone know if Marketplace can be installed on such a device and will it work OK?
I've read another (unrelated) post somewhere that implied it might not allow you to log in if the device is not registered - although its possible I just misinterpreted that.
Any help appreciated,
Thanks
Rob
Usually on non licensed tablets with stock rom, google market doesn't work. But acording to some forums the Scroll Extreme does come with google play, but it's hidden.
"You can access play store straight away out of the box. Just use search, type play and you will see the Play Store. Click that and you're there.
I used ESFilemanager to locate the Play Store then created a shortcut, so I have it on the desktop."

Sorry for digging up and old post, but I was wondering if there was an answer to the original question in this thread. Is there a way to get google play store to work on unlicensed devices?
I recently purchased an Ematic Multi-Touch 7", and noticed it didn't have the play store. After transferring the apk through usb and installing it, I found that the app worked for a moment before shutting down with the message "Unfortunately, Google Play Store has stopped." After searching around a bit, I found out about the nature of the licensing issues, but no real solutions. I suppose I could try and find all of the apps I would normally want to use and side load them, but it would be nice to be able to avoid that and use the play store proper.
Any help would be greatly appreciated, and I thank you for your time and consideration.
Am I missing something here? App is not compatible with some of your devices.
Htc Evo- check
Transformer Tablet- no check
I need to understand the developer side of this coin. I have been trying to persuade Jawbone to update their android app "Jawbone Companion" to support my tablet. I don't know, but I assume their would be a publisher option in Google Play to add or delete supported devices so that they cannot be installed on those from the Play store. For example, I had to go to the website to find the app because search shows no results on the tablet.
It's a bluetooth headset. It supports 2.1+edr. App supported on Android OS 4.0, OS 2.3 and select OS 2.2 phones. Transformer tf300 has bluetooth. It supports 3.0+edr. It has ICS and is certainly more capable than a 2.2 phone.
Sooo the only difference I see from this side is a bigger screen. I have emailed at least 3 app makers that I use frequently and they just keep saying it's not tablet supported. So do they just have to add devices to some file that cross checks with Google Play or is the code for my tablet so drastically different that they would have to write a whole new app for tablets?
A technical explanation link of the whole developer process regarding this would be nice.
Update to OP
I have found a method of downloading apk files in the Chrome browser with the APK Downloader extension. It only works with Chrome and I logged into my wife's account, did a quick search for my apps in question, then proceeded to download them to pc by making play think it was sending the apk to my wife's "supported" phone. Then I manually transferred the apks to my "unsupported" tablet where they are now running fine, no errors and no resolution problems.
I have emailed the developers of these apps and they have blown me off by saying that tablets in general are not supported, I emailed them all back telling them their apps were working fine and I didn't understand why they couldn't have allowed me to just download it the easy way.
So are they just being lazy? This just reinforces my reasoning that the phone and tablet are about the same and don't require any more coding than any other app that has problems on certain phones. Seems to me as long as the resolution is high enough and it allows auto rotation that any phone app should run on a tablet, and I don't see why they all keep telling me apps are not supported.
Until then I guess I'll just get my apps the way I described.
yap the apkdownloader would be the way i recomended to you =)
dunno why they dont support tablets
in some cases u dont have to understand them
feel lucky u find a way to make it work
I have a cheap Chinese Android tablet, identified as a "SRE 10" running Android 4.4.2 Kitkat. Kernel 3.3.0, Quad core A31 cpu.
I downloaded Google Maps from the play store and that seems to work ok, though it is the "phone" version.
When I tried to use street view, all I got was a blurred blank screen. I went back to the store and downloaded the separate Google Street View app because I assumed that that must be needed in addition to Maps.
But no. Street View still does not work.
I am beginning to think that the Chinese origin of this device means that street view is disabled.
Any ideas?
I installed Amazon FreeTime from the Google Play store and found out it is NOT the same as the one contained on the Kindles themselves. Looking at the app itself, it does not have a built in search, nor does it have ANY of the curated apps, just the books, videos and websites. I am trying to install the app from a Kindle Fire Kids to an LG G Pad X 10.1.
Kids Kindle Fire 7 (Fire 5th Generation) running Fire OS 5.6.0.1.
LG G Pad X 10.1 running Android 6.0
I have backed up the APK with ES Explorer and moved it over to the LG. When I tried to install it it fails with "App not installed".
I purchased APK Editor Pro and tried to modify the name to match the current Google Play Store version name:
Amazon Kindle version:
FreeTimeApp-fireos_v3.12_Build-1.0.200441.0.13831 (312013310)
Google Play Store version:
FreeTimeApp-aosp_v3.13_Build-1.0.200994.0.17628 (213399010)
This did not change anything and I still receive the error.
Two things I did notice though is that the original Google Play version has a file size of 37.4 MB (while the Amazon version is 13.62 MB - this may be a part of the problem) and shows
Minimum API (21)
Target API (19)
After editing the Amazon apk with APK Editor, even though I have modified the version it shows 3/3 (Cupcake). I have tried to figure it out in Android Studio, but have no idea how to use it.
Any help is very much appreciated.
Disney+ is on a free trial in the Netherlands right now, so just for fun and curiosity really, I grabbed the APK for the Disney+ app here...
https://apk.support/app/com.disney.disneyplus#per_area
and installed it on my Note 9, and fired up my VPN, connected to the Netherlands and attempted to launch the app.
I guess it must be doing some kind of region check on my phone at launch as it just stops. Visiting the Disney+ app page on the google play store via VPN informs me that the app is incompatible with all my devices even though I have two Nvidia Shields and my Samsung Note 9 as well as a few other android devices - it's definitely running on Shields in the Netherlands as they have been shown on various web sites.
Anyone know of any jiggery pokery we can try to get this thing running on our None-Netherland devices - because we can :silly::silly::silly:
Thanks.

The app you linked isn't complete. It's legit (I checked the SHA-1 hash against an installed, working version of the apk and the one from Google Play are the same).
If you use a VPN provider with an IP based out of the Netherlands & Aurora, you should be able to properly install the app on a rooted device.
SAI (which Aurora uses) allows you to install split/bundled apk or extract complete bundles to archive for later.
You can't login though. The app will give you an error if you try to proceed with signing up or try to enter an existing login. I don't know much more beyond that.

Yeah seems like Disney has their uber A-Game engaged for VPN blocking too - probably why they launched the beta in a smaller market, test the load balancing and the gate-keeping all at once.
get it to work with anything?
Did you check any other server? if its not working then you should go for another option like PureVPN or Cyberghost. They both are working fine.

How to install Disney + using the SAI app.
Hello everyone,
I searched for this but ddidn't find it. So forgive me if I missed it. Here is a link to get Disney + to work on a rooted android device.
https://youtu.be/SOdkuy9dZGs[/url]
There is a link in his description to all the files to download plus the SAI app. It was very easy and I've already watched two episodes of Star Wars Rebels so the app definately works. the Disney + app is split into three pieces then reassembled by SAI.
Good luck!!

This worked for me on my rooted Huawei Honor Note 8 !
I had Disney Plus on all my other devices but I could not get it on my rooted Huawei honor note 8 and now it works perfectly!
Thank you ?
