So I solved my problem with the Xperia S LT26i Chinese:
I found the rom ITA LT26i_6.1.A.2.50_1257-5499_Generic_Italy.zip
and I installed it with flashtool
It was very simple
I did not understand if the device is rooted now
Now the device is fully Italian as if I had bought in my country
Ciao!
Changing file permissions was critical
Thanks for the information and the attachments xjarl!
This worked perfectly for me, but only after I changed the permissions on the 3 files! I bought a Coolpad (Yulong) 8022 with Android 2.3.7 in China through China Mobile. I rooted the phone but was unable to install Google Play until I found this post. I downloaded the attachment, extracted the files and copied the 3 APK files to my system/app folder and rebooted. After installing Google Play and running it, I could browse all the apps in the store but I could not download or install them. The progress bar didn't move.
So I launched Root Explorer and went to the system/app folder. Then I changed the permissions of the 3 APKs: GoogleServicesFramework.apk, GoogleLoginService.apk and Google_Play-v3.8.17.apk to rw-r--r-- to match all the other files in the folder and rebooted. Since then everything has been working fine! Now I can browse the App store and download and install files without a problem!
So, the steps I recommend are:
1. Root your phone.
2. Download the attachment above.
3. Extract GoogleServicesFramework.apk, GoogleLoginService.apk and Google_Play-v3.8.17.apk from the RAR file and copy them to the system/app folder on your phone with Root Explorer.
4. In Root Explorer click Mount R/W. Change the permissions of the 3 files to match the permissions of the other files in the folder (rw-r--r--). Then click Mount R/O and exit Root Explorer.
5. Reboot your phone.
6. Go to Accounts & Sync in your phone's settings, click Add account and enter your Google/GMail account details.
7. Go to your apps and Launch Google Play.
I'm guessing that this will work on any Android phone. Good luck!
Thanks for shared.
I get the same problems, but my phone use Spreadtrum CPU SC6820 and it very hard to root.
If not root then can use this solution?

Hi - I believe you will need to root your phone first - I used SuperOneClick to root my phone. I wish you good luck!
It is a very good solution and I tested in my China mobile Note2: GT-N7108 and it works fine.
Thank you very much.

Crashing
I hope someone can help me here. I have a Green Orange N1.
The first thing i tried was to simply install vending apk.
App was crashing before loading.
I tried this method and followed all steps
Root - adding 3 apk to system/app - set permissions- but no luck. Google play still crashes.
I tried also with different G Play versions and still i can't access the application.
Do you have any idea about other steps?

I got it working by downloading different versions of GoogleServicesFramework
i have found 3 versions on the first page searching for GoogleServicesFramework.apk on google
One of them was 2.3M not 4M and it worked. i have also downloaded different GoogleLoginService
Now all google apps work perfectly except for voice search... looks like it doesn't connect.
I can give commands and it keeps searching. don't know if it depends on the GoogleLoginService i installed.
My solution is probably messing up something.
It would be really nice to know which versions of Framework or LoginServices are available andhow to choose the right ones for 4.2 or 4.1.
hope someone can explain here

This kinda works with a bit of play around
These files are KING!!!!
This method works if you root your phone!
I rooted my phone(Samsung Galaxy S4) bought from China loaded with spam and bloatware. The phone by default has a whole load of crap installed into the system apps folder and can't be deleted unless rooted!!!
I rooted using:
Odin3 v3.07
cofface_I9500_cwm_recovery_en_new.tar
Google_play.rar
SAMSUNG_USB_Driver_for_Mobile_Phones_v1_3_2300_0
System App Remover
Root Explorer
Step 1: Put phone in USB debugging mode in order for ODIN to successfully detect and install 'cofface_I9500_cwm_recovery_en_new.tar'
Step 2: Power phone on holding Volume Down, Menu Button and Power Button. (This put it in download mode)
Step 3: Plug phone into PC(Ensure USB drivers have been installed)
Step 4: Open ODIN
Step 5: Select PDA and locate 'cofface_I9500_cwm_recovery_en_new.tar'
Step 6: Click Start (Sit back it takes a few)
Step 7: Once completed immediately unplug battery before phone restarts.(This apparently ensures the CWM will root the phone for S4 new security)
Step 8: Power phone on using Volume Up, Menu Button and Power Button.
Step 9: Root phone option
Step 10: Install from SD card
Step 11: Select the CWM option
Step 12: Restart phone from the options
Step 13 : Super User app should now be installed on the phone
Step 14 : Given that you can't access google play you may need to download apps via pc or web browser on your mobile.
Step 15 : Download the following apps a) Root Explorer b) System App Remover.
Step 14 : Be smart and write down the names of the apps you need to remove and take note of the icons.
Step 15 : Delete what you can through System App Remover (Some will not delete through this app but you'll understand a little later)
Step 16 : Once you've deleted what you can, open Root explorer.
Step 17 : Copy the Google Play files (There are 3) into a directory you can find on your phone.
Step 18 : These files should be stored on SD in Root Explorer, Tap Hold and Move.
Step 19 : Go to System then Apps.
Step 20 : Paste and extract the folder.
Step 21 : Delete the remaining apps that System App Remover couldn't remove.( be careful deleting the wrong apps can be troublesome)
Step 22: NB!!!! Change the permissions on theses 3 apps to all permissions or your phone will keep bringing up alerts and freezing!!!!!
Step 23 : In any event copying the framework from another device you will be forced to do a Factory Reset to have it all fully functional!!!!
This worked for me. Thought I'd put the full list of instructions because it took me a few hours to gather all this info from a mix of sites.
All credit to everyone I resourced to finally get this working!!! This seems to have been an unresolved one on many sites with no tutorials for newbs.

Hello,
I've removed the Gallery app (com.htc.album.apk) using the Titanium backup 'cause I wanted to replace it with another one. I do have the backup, but when I do a restore it just does the circle with restore in progress forever. Is there a way to restore the Gallery?
The only reason why I want to restore is that when I use the HTC Sense apps which cooperate with Gallery (for example the Camera), when I want to see the photos the apps crash - I thought it would be possible to choose another app like QuickPic for this photo browsing, but apparently not. Therefore I would be very grateful if somebody knows how to restore the app.
The phone has s-off and is rooted.
Thank you very much.
SOLUTION
OK, I've found a way how to do it, so just want to share with others, in case anybody gets into the same kinda trouble as I did ;-)
The steps:
1. Download the zipped RUU of the stock ROM and extract the APK and ODEX files of the app you want to restore (HTCAlbum.apk and HTCAlbum.odex in my case)
2. Using Root Explorer (or some other tool that can write into /system/app) copy the apk and odex files into it.
3. Again using the same tool set the permissions of the 2 files to rw-r--r-- and set the owner and group to 0 - root (both user and group)
4. What I did now was try to Install the apk in the /system/app, but it failed, so probably this step is not needed - just put it here in order to reproduce exactly all steps.
5. Reboot the phone -> after the reboot the app should appear in the app drawer and all HTC stock apps now work with using the Gallery.
Please if you try this method, write down your comment, whether you succeeded or not.
Cheers and good luck...
Didn't work for me. Tried apk and odex gallery from newest ruu.
I also accidentally removed the Gallery (com.htc.album.apk), and I've found a way out to do it.
First to do :
> Install the latest Java JDK.
> Install HTC Sync & drivers.
> Install the Android SDK.
> Open SDK Manager after installing the Android SDK successfully.
> Install every 'Available Packages' in SDK Manager.
> Edit 'Path' in Environmental Variables and put this behind the line
Code:
;C:\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools
> Enable USB Debugging on your HTC.
And after all this above..
1 -Connect your Wildfire to the PC.
2 -Reboot into CWM Recovery.
3 -Go to Mounts and Storage.
4 -Select Mount /system.
Then use adb :
Oh and make sure the HTCAlbum.apk is in the same map as adb.exe
Code:
adb push HTCAlbum.apk /system/app
-MAKE SURE YOUR DEVICE IS S-OFF- Otherwise it won't work.

This doesn't need S-OFF. Just a Custom Recovery like Clockworkmod.

I just received my Galaxy nexus 4 days ago. And there was no youtube app, later i flash it to YAKJU build and there was again no youtube app. Yesterday, I fastboot Android 4.0.2, and still no youtube app.
-In google folder at home screen, there is Youtube icon, but when i click it, it says "app is not installed".
-When I try to search market, there is no youtube app.
-When i go to 'm.google.com/youtube', it says my device is not supported. It is damn Galaxy Nexus, how possible ?
Anyone has idea how I can install Youtube app? By the way, i am from Turkey, can this be the reason ?
Here's my YouTube apk

Thanks mate, I put your apk to my download, but i cannot find it in the phone. There is nothing in downloads and When I check storage from settings, I see downloads is 2,6 mB, but where should i find it ? Or how can i install your apk ?
I am very new to Android, so it may sound stupid that i dont know how to do it
There is a new version for ICS, which isn't on the Market but should be in the ROM out the box
most of the download item can be found using a file manager which can be installed from the market, the you tube app can also be found in the systems folder.
using any file manager (i use androzip pro) leave the sd card and goto system/app/ you will find the youtube.apk app, just click on it to install.

I did what you said, but when i click youtube.apk at system/app/, there is no install button, just 'extract to' and 'send' are there. But if there is youtube .apk and .odex in my system files, doesnt it suppose to mean there is youtube app in my phone ?
By the way, in google folder at desktop, there is one Youtube icon with tiny green android logo. When i click it, it says "application is not installed". Any ideas how to make this icon work ?

Have you tried going into the system/app and delete the youtube.apk, or if you can delete from settings/apps, then try to download it from the link again.
try this before you delete anything, goto settings/storage/apps and see if youtube is disabled, if it isn't there try the info above.

I checked setting/storage/apps and there was no Youtube app, So i tried the first option. But phone didnt let me delete youtube.apk and returned "system restriction"
ozmor39, I too am from Turkey and I'm having the exact same issue as you. It seems Google found another way to screw us over
By the way, when I got my phone (UK GSM version) it was on yakjuxw 4.01 and I had the Youtube app in the app drawer and it did work. After I switched to yakju 4.02, I can't see the app in the app drawer, only under system/app, but I can't (re)install it and I can't see it under installed apps.
I intend to keep my GNex on stock ROM, simply rooted, with that in mind I too would appreciate any help on this...
Thanks all!

I'm puzzled, can't think of anything now, may be you should just wait for 4.0.3 update, and see what will happen, or you can download the ics stock firmware and reflash it back to 4.0.1, but you need to search this site for the info.
I've got it working!
I don't know how exactly, but this is what I think did the trick:
- Using Root Explorer I renamed system/app/YouTube.apk to YouTube.apk- (added a dash to the end of the extension) *you need to mount system/app as R/W
- Rebooted the phone
- Renamed it back to YouTube.apk
- Rebooted the phone and now I've got a working YouTube app
In case this isn't what caused YouTube to spring back to life here's all I've done (a lot of silly steps):
- Changed system localization back and forth between Turkish and English (United Kingdom)
- Using Root Explorer I *tried to* install YouTube.apk under system/app several times but each attempt failed
- I mounted system/app as R/W and tried to install YouTube.apk under system/app, each attempt failed
- I downloaded the YouTube.apk from the link Arrio provided, tried to install it by opening it from Opera Mobile, failed
- I tried to install the same YouTube.apk from Root Explorer, failed
- I renamed YouTube.apk under system/app to YouTube.apk- and tried to install the downloaded YouTube.apk, failed
*edit: one more step: I assigned a static IP number and custom DNSs to my WiFi connection
- Rebooted phone
- Tried to install the downloaded YouTube.apk again, failed
- Renamed YouTube.apk- back to YouTube.apk
- At this point I noticed that YouTube app appeared in the app drawer and the Google folder on the home screen with the green android icon
- Rebooted phone
- YouTube app with YouTube icon, which works!
I hope the first few steps I outlined work for you, and any other xda-developers user for that matter

Thanks for the effort, I also somehow managed it to get working. I have done one more thing tho, with root manager, I have changed the Youtube.apk and youtube.odex permissions to give full control to everyone. Maybe if that was done in the first place, it would be ok Not sure tho.
Glad you guys got it working. But kinda sad to hear of those restriction in an open source project like Android. The focus should be on the word "open"!
I followed the xposed modded google play store instructions to the letter, got everything installed and running. Google Play Store opens and lets me login just fine. But when it opens, it says "No Connection - Retry". Anyone having the same issue or have a solution?

Are you on wifi or ethernet? I've seen reports of the playstore not working unless you were on a wifi connections.

I was on ethernet and I tried turning ethernet off. Maybe I just need to unplug it and try again. Or try a different access point. Any other ideas?

Had this problem the other night, I fixed it by loading Xposed framework first in Adb, then installing with ADb command, after open Xposed framework and go to modules use the mouse to tick the ouya box. after this I ran the script to install google play and bam I was running. the batch file would time out on my network copy and the xposed framework so I bypassed it and it solved my issues.

Could you be more clear on what you did? More detailed instructions please, less pronouns. I've installed the framework and ticked the box for the play store mod. Should I wipe my ouya and start fresh?

I have had this issue also, did you see the license agreement for googIe Play when you first opened the play store? I never got the license pop-up so I went back into Exposed are re-ran the installer and then rebooted. Once the ouya came back up I went back into google play and the license agreement screen appeared. Once I accepted the license, google play store loaded without issue.

Is there anyway to uninstall Google Play on the Ouya? I also get the no connection error. I tried clearing the cache, disabling it/re-enable it. All have no luck. Anyone know a better way to fix this?

Hey Everyone,
So Blizzard just released Hearthstone for android and everyone's rushing to be able to play the game on their android devices. I've seen some comments about how to get it to work but I have had no luck as my app crashes when I get to the option to log in. I'm currently on the most recent Slimkat stable build so that may be another reason as to why it doesn't work.
Taking the info I received from a thread on reddit:
https://www.reddit.com/r/hearthstone/comments/2pestg/hearthstone_is_out_on_android_tablets/
Download the .apk linked by /u/Xeonelite
Download both .obb files also linked by /u/Xeonelite
Put .obb files in the directory /sdcard/Android/obb/com.blizzard.wtcg.hearthstone
Run the .apk to install (you may need to enable installation of unknown apps in your settings)
You should be good to go if your screen is larger than 6". If not, follow the next few steps.
Install the Xposed module "App Settings"
Enable "App Settings" in Xposed and find Hearthstone on the app list
Check the box that says "xlarge res."
Save the settings and exit
Launch Hearthstone, you should be good to go!

Click to collapse
The link to the files are here in this comment. I've had no luck so far, but others have reported being able to get it working. Have any of you been able to get it running? Successfully got it working with my reply down below! If one of the builds doesn't work, then use the other linked!
Im just trying to get works too. I think it should works flashing some custom rom and decreasing the DPI. We only can test and test until get it

Hi, i just find that:
Hey there
It seems everybody is eager to play Hearthstone on their mobile phone, but they can't because their phones aren't 6 inch or bigger. There is a way to get around this, but it involves some decompiling/recompiling and changing two lines of code.
First of all, the tools that you need are:
To decompile the APK: This tool
To decompile CSharp: Decompile CSharp: This tool
This one requires a plugin though; when you start this software, look for the menu item "Plugins/Plugins Manager" and install the plugin called "Assembly Editor"
Other things you need:
The original APK: This one
The OBB files: These
Step one:
Fire up APK Studio and decompile the Hearthstone APK
Open up the AndroidManifest.xml file
Replace android:normalScreens="false" with android:normalScreens="true"
The same goes for android:smallScreens="false" -> android:smallScreens="true"
Save this file
Step two:
Fire up JustDecompile and open the file Assembly-Csharp.dll (your_decompiled_folder/assets/bin/Data/Managed/Assembly-CSharp.dll)
Look in <Default namespace> for the class "MobileCallbackManager"
(if you haven't by now, open up the plugin by selecting it in the Plugins window (Reflexil))
There is a method in there called "IsAndroidDeviceTabletSize()", click on it
In the window of the plugin, on the "Instructions" tab, you should now see a line that has a value of 6 in the Operand column (http://puu.sh/dx8bX/bff8ee08ad.png)
Right click on this and select edit and change the value to 1 (or whatever you want, just a number smaller than the size of your phone) and then click Update
In the list on the left, scroll all the way back up, right click on "Assembly-CSharp", select "Reflexil 1.8 -> Save As" and save it (trying to overwrite the original one caused problems for me)
(If you have problems with this one, go to step two.one)
Remove the Assembly-CSharp.dll file and rename the new dll to Assembly-CSharp.dll
Steo two.one (Only if you're having problems saving the DLL):
- On the same line where you clicked edit and changed the value from 6 to whatever. Right click again and select "Replace all with code"
- This should open a window showing some code, **just click cancel**
- Now try to save using the normal steps
Step three:
Open APK Studio again
Click on the hammer icon (make sure you have the project selected) to build your modified APK (rebuilt.apk in the build folder)
Step four (you can skip this if you already have the OBB files on your phone):
Put the OBB files on your SD card in the following folder
Android/obb/com.blizzard.wtcg.hearthstone/XXX.OBB
Step five:
Install the APK
Enjoy the game
I've tested this myself on a Nexus 4 (KitKat) and Nexus 5 (Lollipop) and it starts on both. However, at some point it just decides to crash on my Nexus 5 and I assume this is because of Lollipop.

So it turns out another build of Hearthstone works quite well. Thanks for your possible fix too zliffer, that may help others who might need it! This one is version 738705 instead of the 738702 which was linked before. This one doesn't require being on a GPE rom, just follow the same steps for the same files and it should work!
https://www.reddit.com/r/hearthstone/comments/2pestg/hearthstone_is_out_on_android_tablets/cmwfy74
Nice, i will try it now. in the other hand i had read that only changing the dpi in adb it should works
You could also try this.
Runs on my Samsung Galaxy Note 2 without problems. Without root!
Just copy files and install apk.

Anyone made the Measure app work on their OP3?
I'm also having problems what's brought me here. I was trying different versions and nothing works :/
Yep, works perfectly fine here. Do other AR Core apps work for you?
Actually I have a problem with installing AR Core itself, do you have a link to proper version?
Also can't get it to work. I tried a few different versions of the ARCore apk now, but when opening the measure app all I get is different error messages.

Do you have a OnePlus 3 or 3T?
I've had ARC running earlier, but can't get the Measure app to work. I can install both APKs, but I get error when starting the Measure app.

I have the 3.
What I did was the following:
1) Download and install the latest ARCore apk from apkmirror: https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google-inc/arcore/arcore-1-3-180604066-release/
2) Sideload an ARCore-enabled app like Just a Line or IKEA Place (again, from APK Mirror) and launch it so it crashes the first time.
3) Using a root explorer, go to /data/data/com.google.ar.core/files/device_profile_database/ and find the file for the OnePlus 3T (it will have "OnePlus3T" in its name).
4) Rename/Remove the "T" from "OnePlus3T" in the file name.
5) Launch an ARCore-enabled app again and it should work flawlessly.

... or it replies to you then with the error: " This device does not support AR" instead of hanging at start ^^
Fobos531´s instructions seem to work well for me. I can use the measure app now. Though I'm not yet sure how exact it is. Haven't had much time yet for testing it.
For reference, I've got OP3 (not T) running NitrogenOS 8.1
Fixed, I completely kicked ARCore APK and reinstalled. Now it works. AR Stickers does not, but I think that I use the wrong APK...

Can you try manually creating the file in that case? Create a "files" folder, inside create a folder named "device_profile_database" and inside that folder create a file named "device_profile_OnePlus3_colon_8.textproto" (make sure .textproto is the extension). Put this in the file: https://gist.github.com/fobos531/64cd45838ffb6a143a83306882d208b6
Also the file should have read+write permissions only for the owner (you can do "chmod 600 /data/data/com.google.ar.core/files/device_profile_database/device_profile_OnePlus3_colon_8.textproto") to achieve this.

Sure you used that one?

This works well for me.
I have the Skulshady's ARCore before. I uninstall it and install the latest version from apkmiror, then follow this guide and works fine.
Thanks @Fobos531 , your way works for me like a charm. OOS 5.0.3 with Magisk. Installed ArCore 1.3 from apkmirror, then Ikea app, let it crash one time, edited the filename and everything works now.

If you are able to download measure app from play store then it means, your phone supports this, you don't need to do anything else
