Hi guys, I hope someone can help me with my stated query
I recently installed aptoide because I wanted to update an older version of KICK by Samsung (it's unavailable in my country on the Play Store) and found its possible through aptoide, I want to know if I update an app that is currently unavailable for my device due to region locks and the like, when a newer version is available, will I be able to update from the Play Store or have I lost that right by updating through aptoide?
Please answer as I need to know, I've updated many Google apps from aptoide as it currently isn't available in my country(ZA) and I don't want to lose Play Store functionality.
Thanks in advance to anyone who has the slightest idea on the matter

For me as you have not installed an application through the Play store it will not offer you any upgrade for this application but it will carry on offering updates for the applications installed through the play store.
But in another hand Aptoide will offer updtes for the applications it has installed.

Good day to you ladies and gentlemen. I will get straight to the point:
I recently purchased a Galaxy Tab 3 10.1 (GT-P5210) in China, and it comes with no Google Play.
I have tried installing the apks for Google Services Framework and Google Play, but as soon as I try to add my Google account (as requested by Google Play on first run), I get the "Unable to establish a reliable connection" to Google servers error. If I try to create an account from the settings panel, the settings program stops working. Google Services Framework also likes to crash seemingly at random.
I have tried getting a western firmware into it, but since I do not have a Windows box, and I haven't been able to get Odin to work on Virtual Box, no such luck. Heimdall doesn't seem to properly communicate with the tablet. Is there a way to do "Odin work" with adb and company?
So that's two questions, but what I would really like to ask is: what are my options? I just want my Google Play account on this beautiful tablet.
On a related note, how is the work on rooting the GT-P5210 coming along? Is there anything I can do to help? I have experience as a developer in general (not Android specific though), and I would be glad to help.
Thank you all for reading through this post
EDIT: I also couldn't find any custom recoveries for the Tab 3, are there none? That way I would be able to install a gapps .zip, maybe...
I finally solved this on my own. Anyone facing a similar situation, follow this and you will be signing in to google in no time: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=44615378#post44615378
Galaxy Tab 3 from Chna
Hello tjohnman,
I also buyed last week a galaxy tab 3 10.1 here in china and have the same problem.
I have already rooted the tab and also found some how to´s for installing the google framework
and the app store for example
worlwideweb.androidpit.de/de/android/forum/thread/413743/Android-Market-Auf-X2-G
, but it works only more or less. Some of the google apps are running now but the most important
the google play store still didn´t run.
Maybe I only take the wrong software or I don´t know.
Can you tell me what exactly you have done to install the play store???
My Tab is:
GT-p5200
Android Vers. 4.2.2
Kernel 3.4.34-1216049
Has somebody a good idea or can tell me which software I have to use.
Thx for your hepl.
Solved the problem

Solved the problem by myself! But still is for me not clear how I can now which gapps-jb-xxx is the right one for my system.
Only with testing it was possible to find the solution.
Has anybody a good idea?
Hello
Anyone having trouble installing Netflix on a rooted US AFTV from an Amazon.co.uk account? It downloads just fine but then says "Install failed" without much more info.
I can install the Netflix app from the US store (using the geo restriction guide on aftvnews), but that is the old Netflix v1 client. The one on the UK store looks like the newer v3 client.
Anyone else having this issue? All other apps downloaded from the UK store work fine. Could just be launch day teething problems (I hope) and not some sort of restriction with the app.
I have the latest rooted 51.1.3.0_user_513011820 firmware by the way.
Cheers
exactly the same for myself, all apps install no problem but netflix fails
How annoying.
Stil not working today, so I suspect it's a firmware restriction so hopefully the US boxes will get the new firmware soon.
Can I confirm from anyone who has Netflix (with the white icon) from the UK store working if it's actually the new client or the old one? Screenshots show the new client, but the version number in the description says v1.0.1 which is the same as the US app - and it's 1/2 the file size on the UK store.

The very same issue for me.
I noticed in the logs, the following message comes up:
Code:
W/PackageParser( 6797): /storage/emulated/0/Android/data/com.amazon.venezia/files/apks/65165767-ffeb-4dc8-a422-fa4683554601.apk (at Binary XML file line #27): Requires newer sdk version #19 (current version is #17)
I guess the issue is that the firmware won't update to 51.1.4.0_user_514006420, which by the looks of it is required for the Netflix app.
I've been trying to find a way to install the new firmware manually, but no dice. Can't find a download link for the file and even if I could, I guess I'd have to be rooted (I'm not) to force it.
Ah, that'll be it. That's for pointing it out.
We'll just have to wait I guess for this firmware to roll out to other regions, which most likely it will. In any case, it's still not clear if it's the new client or not so actually there may be no advantage over the US app at this stage.
Hey guys just need some help here.
Because of the release date is still due for germany i decided to buy the ZE551 ML online.
I ordered it at tinydeal.com. As it seems i now have an somewhat chinese Version where i cant even add an google account.
Also i have trouble installing Google-Playstore properly because it crashes all the time (as well as other Google apps, tried to figure out why but all online solutions didnt help)
A freind said this might happen because of no Google Account being registered.
What should i do in your opinion?
Best option is probably to flash it for some EU/NA Version right ?
then i should be able to add an google account and set up all the apps properly ?
Thank you for your help!

I accidentally bought the CN version myself
I read somewhere earlier this method should work to add gapps to the CN version. --> http://goo.gl/ea7bCv
Make sure and remove your previous PlayStore install before.
I didnt get mines yet, but if ur willing to try it, see if it helps!
If not then the pre-root img should do the trick --> http://goo.gl/7viYVt

I just got my new huawei matepad pro
As any human I just open the box and start update the OS to the last update
Then I got that big problem in the store thing
I tried so many ways to solved but still nothing
I am now in 10.1.181
My base software is : MRX-LGRP2-OVS 10.1.181
And I am really start to think about dump this tablet becouse of this Google store problem
So please till me how can I fix it
At the moment the only thing you can do is to install Google Services with googlefier. For this you need to downgrade your MatePad to version 10.1.0.120. After downgrading you can install all the google services.
Googlefier lets you easily install Google apps on Huawei and Honor devices (xda-developers.com)
