I am going to be buying an android TV device thats ROM that does not have google play store and i will just install it my self.
I am wondering is there any downsides to this. Will i still be able to download and install all the apps from play store or is there any limitations at all?
Google Play Store simply is a market place for Android apps. To successfully run the Google Play Store app it's required some more Google services ( e.g. Google Play Services, Google Services Framework ) get additionally installed. Many people don't want this.
It's on you.

Thank you.
So play store does not check if your device is supported/official it just lets you download and use any app as long as you meet the requirements of the app.
Google Play Store doesn't care what Android version is installed on a device: they want to earn money from the apps they offer.

Are there any alternatives to the play store app? I've a chinese lenovo phone and have tried almost everything to get the play store to work "rooting, attempted flash rom, to install as a system app etc" but can't get the framework to work with my phone, so is there any alternatives to the play store in app form, the lenovo store app on my phone is in chinese and 98% of the apps too!
Amazon app store is the biggest after Googles store: www.amazon.com/getappstore . Another small but important store is F-Droid: https://f-droid.org/ (All apps are open source). Just google for more alternatives.
Hi,
I just got a Z3 Compact for my girlfriend to migrate from iOS. Everything is ok so far except the fact that all the preinstalled apps (Maps, YT, Hangouts, Services etc.) dont show up in the My Apps section of the Play Store. I have to find them manually to update them. Why is this? any fix?
Thanks!
anyone?
Pre-installed apps usually don't show on Play Store, there's no solution to it.

I uninstalled Google Play Services for a mistake. I need it back on my phone now.
I can't use the Google Play Store without it so I can't install it from there.

Why can't you use play store? Need more details...
Hey Guys,
I need your knowledge.
First my setup. I use MicroG together with Play Store.
It works but in newer Version of the play store i have a new section in the app list with Google Play Protect.
But i don't want that Google scans all my apps and i'm not sure whether Play Protect is activ on my device.
Or thinks the Play Store only that Protect runs because of MicroG?
And if so is there a working way to pretend the Play Store from self updating?
Edit: In the meantime i found a work around. So Thread can be closed/deleted.
