[Q] Need Help with Google Play Store Mod [MOD][XPOSED]

I've been trying to enable Google Play Store on my OUYA without success. I've tried a couple of times with a factory reset.
My steps are:
Turn on ADB over Network
adb install RootMyOuya.apk
Run the root tool under MAKE & reboot
adb install Mod_Collection4Ouya.5.1.apk
Install CWM Recovery & reboot
(Under MAKE/MOD Collection) Enable CWM Recovery & reboot
(Under MAKE/MOD Collection) Install Play Store & reboot
(Under MAKE/MOD Collection) Enable Play Store & reboot
Run Play Store under MAKE
Enter account info, clear keep informed checkbox
Try to launch Play Store under Make, it appears for an instant and then exits
permissions in system app are all correct
logcat is full of errors but not being an android developer I have no idea which are even relevant
It's at /pastebin.com/4fiFQJGx
I've REDACTED my Google and OUYA account names but that should not be an issue.
(btw the force HDMI resolution ON/OFF switch does not seem to work properly, I turned it on and it won't turn OFF )

You also need the exposed installer, then go to modules section and check the box for the mods you want.

Aha! Thank you VERY much. Obviously and important step
Now I get connection timed out which is, at least, a new problem lol

Maybe go into settings-manage apps and clear data for Google play and play services.

I could never get the store to actually open up. Its on there and you can start it but it then just says no connection.
I would suggest the amazon app store instead, most apps on there will run nicely since the hardware is very similar.

Make sure you go into Xposed Framework --> Modules, and actually TICK the box for the framework using the touchpad, then reboot. Doing this gets rid of the timeout issue.

It is but I just use the amazon store instead
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app

Tangcla ftw!
Ticking the box for modules worked for me (as stated above)...you have to use the little ouya touchpad, or I just used a mouse.
I can't believe that simple thing was preventing google store from coming up!
Thanks for the tips tangcla (and others).
I know you wrote that back in January 2014, but it still works today! (July 2015)
I do use amazon store also, works great!

Google Play Services 7.3.28 keeps stopping

It seems that Google just rolled out version 7.3.28 of their Google Play Services last night, and my Kindle Fire HD 8.9 has been popping up annoying Play Services have Stopped boxes constantly. Edit - confirmed this also is happening with 7.3.29. Also confirmed that this problem and fix works with the 7" Kindle fire HD tablets.
After pulling all my hair out, restoring to factory settings 3 times, figuring out how to re-root version 8.5.1, and then re-installing my old Google apps (from previous downloaded files), I have confirmed that Google will very quickly notice the outdated version and update to 7.3.28. Then the annoying pop-ups start all over again.
1) To fix the problem, you need a working version of Google Play Services. Go into Settings->Applications->Installed Applications and look for Google Play Services. Look for the version number in parenthesis, paying attention to the last 3 digits after the suffix. If it's like my Kindle 8.9, it will be -034. I confirmed that my Kindle did work on the previous version of Play Services (7.0.99), so what you need is to download that version for your Kindle. For the -034 version, the link is at:
(edit: I apparently can't post links, so I've modified the following to make it not look like a link, please edit and paste into your browser).
h t t p : / / www (dot) apkmirror (dot) com/wp-content/themes/APKMirror/download (dot) php?id=7772
2) Once downloaded, turn OFF Wi-Fi. Then, use ES3 file explorer to re-install this version from wherever you downloaded it to, overwriting the current version.
3) Next, create a folder in /data/app with name "com.google.android.gms-2" (not with the quote marks). You may see the actual .apk file already there ending in -1. Change permissions for this folder to rw-r-r. This folder should block the Google automatic update.
NOTE: This assumes your play services app is installed in this folder as "com.google.android.gms-1.apk". If it's not, one fix is to uninstall play services, then repeat the install in step 2. That should make it be named with the -1 suffix.
4) Repeat step 1 to confirm you're still on version 7.0.99. Select Clear data just to be sure the cache is cleared.
5) It should be safe to turn Wi-Fi back on. Launch Google Play Store, do a few things and confirm it works!

Really grateful for this, basically had the same issues as you on a Kindle 7", as Amazon store had popped up a few times with a permissions update I figured I'd suffered a clash/glitch. It wasn't until I turned on a dormant 8.9" and got the same error that I realised it was a wider issue and searched for your post.
Seems to have fixed the 8.9 first time, now back to the 7 and hope I haven't screwed it up too much trying multiple solutions.
Just a couple of notes from a novice, it's files that are located in data/app not folders? (update - confirmed need to create a folder not a file)
And the permissions correspond to Owner - Read, Write / Group - Read / Others - Read, being ticked only.
Another thing to look out for, when you're creating the dummy folder, watch out for autocorrect renaming parts of it to something else, maybe try copying and pasting the name.

:good: It worked perfectly! Thanks a lot!
P.S. i used this procedure in a kindle fire hd 7" (Tate)

This mostly worked, except I needed to create "com.google.android.gms-2.apk" to stop the updates. Worked on a Kindle 7 HD as well.

Hi
I have the same issue with Play Services stopping, I downloaded the 7.0.99 -034 version which is correct for my 7 inch Fire HD.
I turned off wifi and installed it (over the existing) using the ES file manager and now have a new error "the processcom.google.process.gapps has stopped".
I read elsewhere this could be associated with the Downloads app but the problem is I cannot navigate anywhere on the device as the error reappears within a second of dismissing it
Any suggestions welcomed as I have a brick at present

There was an occasion when I got the persistent gapps error too, can you persevere and dismiss it enough to get to More/Applications/Installed Applications/Google Play services and Force Stop?
You can then confirm whether the old (working 7.0.99) version installed correctly and see if the error stops?

Hi
Thanks for the response ..... I manages to force stop the Google Play services, 7.0.99 was installed
I have uninstalled the Play Service and the tablet seems to work with no errors but I guess I need to reinstall it again ....... or do I?

I guess you need it if you want to use the Google store/synch? Maybe if you did a fresh install using this method the error would go away as it was something to do with the cache?

I have tried to do this method but still not working. It stays on 7.0.99 version but won't even open. I can't get it to open long enough for me to sign in. Any suggestions

I've done this method on both my 8.9" tablet, as well as two 7" tablets. The folder you create is in /data/app (you need to be root). Make sure you clear cache on the 7.0.99 version or things may still be out of sync.
In general, you'll have to fight through the clicking of OK on the annoying pop-ups. It may help to reboot the Kindle (hold down the power button, etc) to see if timing works better, and it may give you a window to uninstall quickly.

I created the folder in the data/app folder but now I'm not so sure I put it on the correct one. Can you tell me what folder exactly it goes into please?

Use ES File explorer. Back up all the way to the "/" directory. Under that you should see a folder called "data". Inside that, you should see a folder called "app". That is the /data/app folder. You'll know you're in the right place, because there should be a lot of installed .apk files in there. If you sort alphabetically, you should be able to find "com.google.android.gms-1.apk" (which corresponds to your installed play services file).
To block updates, make dummy named folders, such as "com.google.android-gms-2", and as another user pointed out it may help to also create "com.google.android.gms-2.apk". See the original post about setting permissions. Also, be careful about the autocorrect trying to change your filename on you. Once you finish, scroll through and compare names versus the installed play services apk (it should be -1, and you should have just made folders that have the same name, only with the -2).

should I download the google apk files from the kindle from apkmirror website or download them on my computer then transfer them to my kindle fire?

Once again,I have done all the steps shown and still, the moment I tap on google play store, it shows stopped error and returns to home screen. Does all the apk files need to change? The google framework apk, vending apk, google login apk, and the play store apk.

Please help
I keep getting the google play services have stopped working message. I would appreciate if someone could give me like a dummy version of this because I don't fully understand. So please make a video and reply it to me. Or just type something just please reply and help me do this.

I have tried this fix on a 7" fire HD tablet and I cannot get the fix to persist. Once I roll back with the correct 7.0.99 version with both a "com.google.android.gms-2" folder set with the correct permissions and a "com.google.android.gms-2.apk" installed in the data/apps folder things work well until a reboot. After a reboot I get upgraded to the .29 version of the apk and have to reinstall the working version again. I have tried every combination of folder/apk possibilities I can think of and I am still stuck. Any ideas?

Is there any update on how to keep the 7.0.99 Play Services version from upgrading? As mentioned above, I can get the 7.0.99 version to work, but only for a couple of days. Has anyone found a permanent solution?

Is your "com.google.android.gms-2.apk" also a folder, or a dummy file? I've had success through reboots with two dummy folders: "com.google.android.gms-2" and "com.google.android.gms-2.apk". Make sure you uninstalled play services and re-installed 7.0.99 so that it takes the -1 suffix.

No. You should only need to uninstall the Google Play Services, and that apk is the only one that needs re-installing. If the other files had previously been installed and worked fine, then they should still be ok.
See the note above about the two folders - for some installs, the dual dummy folder names seem to work better, and survive reboots.

I had to use r--r--r-- perms on the dummy file and folder to stop the updates. Otherwise outstanding help, thamks wolverine, kindle has stopped its google play seizures.
UPDATE: I have since added r--r--r-- on the actual 7.0.99 file (the -1.apk file) in order to prevent the updates (it managed to sneak in a damned update without it), so:
- follow ALL wolverine's excellent directions for installation, including turning off wifi, etc, take NO shortcuts
- create the dummy folder AND the dummy file (-2.apk)
- apply r--r--r-- permissions on ALL 3 ITEMS (dummy folder, dummy -2 file, and actual -1 file)
- enjoy a fully functional google play shizznitz on your rooted Fire.

Google Now/Now on Tap not working

So I am from one of those countries where Google Now/Now on Tap is not supported by Google. But I still want to enable it anyway...Need HELP.
It says 'This account is not eligible to use google now'. I have tried all the fix available on the internet but failed. Those are specially not working because they are for lollipop or for previous versions of Android; not for Marshmallow.
CAN ANYONE PLEASE HELP??
BTW, I am looking for both Rooted/non-Rooted methods..

Have you tried xposed framework? I saw that it's available for Marshmallow. It's what I used on my N4 to activate some US-only features because I had my system set to German.

No, I haven't. But I guess that would be a worthy try.. Okay, let's just say it's an option but before Rooting, I wanna try any other possible way.. Thanks..

So it's functional for all of you guys living outside the 'supporting countries'?
I was hoping there must be a way without Rooting... I want to use Google Now, please HELP!!!

Thanks but nothing worked.. It says 'This account is not eligible to use google now'.
I have tried to access US google play store through VPN but it didn't work. And Market Unlocker may work but it requires Root, which I don't want to do this early..

I was searching for a way to get past this too. Finally stumbled upon one after hours of messing around. Worked for me, hope it works for you too.
1. First download hotspot shield or any other vpn app from the playstore.
2. Disable google play services and sign out from your google account.
3. In Settings, go to location and choose "device only".
4. Download google play services from your browser.
5. Start hotspot shield and change location to America or any place where google now is available.
6. Install google play services that you've downloaded via your web browser (Please note that you have to allow installation of apps from unknown sources which can be done in security)
7. Sign in to your google account. You should be able to activate google now under Settings > Now Cards.
8. Once activated, uninstall google play services update that you've installed or disable it again and re-enable it. (If you are able to download apps from the playstore, then you can skip steps 8 to 11)
9. Turn off hotspot shield.
10. Go to apps, search for google playstore and clear data and cache.
11. Now go to google now and select update google play services.
Google Now should work now.

NOPE. It didn't work.. When turning on Now Cards, it is disabled and says 'not available in your country'.

Best way to install Google Play on Chinese ROM?

I've got 238 hrs to wait until my bootloader can be unlocked!
What's the best way to install Google Play on the locked Chinese ROM?
I see some tutorials referring to a "Google Installer" but if possible I'd prefer not to use this as it looks a bit dodgy to me.
I've tried installing Google Play Services and Google Play Store from APKMirror but the Play Store is not opening.
Specifically I installed
Google Play Services 12.8.78 for arm64-v8a + armeabi-v7a
Google Play Store 11.4.15

I got it working by installing Google Contact Sync, Service Framework and Account Manager.

1. Download Google Installer apk from: here
2. run the app and install every thing it asks
3. go to permissions manager and give every google app (sync, services, etc.) every permission
4. allow auto start for every google app (sync, services, etc.)
5. Run google play, let it update it self and its play services
6. enjoy

Open Chinese app store and search for: Google Play store and scroll to find it.
It will install all necessary files and you will need to reboot before all errors stop.

Reason to Use China Rom on Mi Max 3
Can somebody pls tell me if it's worth getting the china rom and staying on it, and just side installing the google apps?

I have noticed that some things do not work so well when you sideload google services on china rom.
Sync contacts do not work, UI is full of chinese characters, some chinese application services work in the background and can not be shut down...
Overall it's not bad, but i would definitely install the global version as soon as it goes out.

Contact sync works for me. You need to go into the Contact Manager app entry in Installed apps and enable all permissions for it.

Contact Sync and Calendar Sync never worked for me no matter what I tried....
Until I factory reset the phone and started from scratch...
Factory reset --> Google Installer from Mi Apps --> Google Login --> Sync --> GApp Permissions --> Reboot --> Sync
Things I did differently from before, not sure of they contributed to the success:
1) I factory reset and setup new phone with sim card in the device (previously had not yet changed mine to a nano sim)
2) Disabled Google's 2 Step Authentication during initial setup and sync (will turn them back on once everything works)

Will anyone make a Google apps enabled rom for the Mate Xs?

I'm very interested in buying this phone, but not without google apps like Play, maps, etc. Is anyone planning on doing a rom for the Mate Xs?

Does not work (without Root), no way (Backup or any App). And root is NOT possible without Bootloader-UNlock.

It should be possible using this method.

It looks like everything is installed correctly but I'm completely blocked by Play Protect. I've tried factory reset to get a new gsf id and registering that as well but no dice. Seems like the id registering just doesn't work?

english please
can one help us to how to install Google app shown in Spanish YouTube in details in English.
with needed files.
Thanks.

I can try to summarize the steps I think is needed after trying for a couple of days.
(Disclaimer: I haven't actually tried it from scratch but I'm pretty sure these are the only things needed)
(Start at 10. if you already have it working but want to get rid of the errors.)
First get the files from these videos:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3MfxLUNWJr0
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sEBrOwQP_0o
1. Put the files on a USB stick (Dunno if it is needed, it might be fine to put them on the phone directly)
- (!)The Huawei folder needs to be in the root.
- You'll have 4 important folders, Huawei, Google pack, fix and newfix.
2. Go to Settings/System & updates/Backup & restore/Data backup/External storage/USB storage/17 October 2019 and then press restore.
- Enter the password it asks for (a0000000)
- This will put 2 sketchy apps on your homescreen.
3. Install all apks in the Google pack folder.
4. Run the sketchy app with a purple G and press Activate when it asks you to. Then continue pressing the buttons (really see the video for this) and restart the phone when it fails with the first spinny thing.
- Once restarted you will be spammed with errors, ignore these for now (disable sound, they are super annoying)
5. Revoke the access and uninstall the sketchy apps. It's not needed but I wouldn't leave it enabled for a second longer than I need.
- Go to Settings/Security/More settings/Device administrators and set the G app to inactive.
- Uninstall the G app and the other one as well I assume.
6. Uninstall Google Services Framework.
- Settings/Apps/Apps - search for google and enable Show system processes in the right corner menu.
- I had issues with this on my phone that it would just freeze and restart when I tried it, the solution seemed to be to clear all its data and force stop the proccess until the force stop button stopped being active.
7. Go to the fix folder and install google account manager4.0.3.apk
8. Create your google sync accounts in Settings/Users & accounts/Add an account/Google.
- Follow the instructions as you would for logging in to google.
- (!) Add all the accounts you want to sync now, I can't seem to add them afterwards.
9. Go to the fix folder and install com.google.android.gsf_10-29_minAPI29(nodpi)_apkmirror.com.apk
- Restart and after that everything should work except for a lot of errors everywhere. At this point the fist video tells you to just disable the notifications but it doesn't help for example gmail and you have to do it for every new app you install so it is pretty annoying. The google sync also broke for me after restart.
10. Install the Device ID app from the app store (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=vtechnotm.com.deviceid&hl=en)
11. Uninstall Google Play services - same procedure as 6.
- To verify that you're on the right path the version you just uninstalled should have been version 19.2.75.
12. From the newfix folder install modagain1gsm.apk.
- This is the Google Play services version 19.4.20.
- Make sure the play store still opens, it might show an error but should preferably still show apps.
13. Reinstall Google Services Framework.
- First repeat step 6.
- Install the file in newfix Google Services Framework-com.google.android.gsf-29-v10.apk
14. Start the Device ID app and verify that you don't have any GSF ID.
15. Poke around in the play store until the Device ID shows a GFS ID, see the video.
- This step feels very unscientific and sometimes it took me forever...
- If it doesn't work make sure you have Google Play services version 19.4.20 installed.
- Don't reboot your phone, it should regenerate the ID just by poking around. I got it regenerated when rebooting but then it didn't work after that.
16. You got the ID generated! Uninstall Google Play services and install the file com.google.android.gms2.apk from the newfix folder.
- Verify that Google Play services is now version 20.12.14.
That's it! Everything should work after this.
I'm pretty confident you can skip some steps here, for example you could install Play services 19.4.20 from the newfix folder already at step 3 to avoid having to reinstall once. But I'm also super unsure why all this actually works so I'm scared to change the procedure
Feel free to suggest corrections!
