Unable to access Google Play in Samsung GT-18160 -codina - Galaxy Ace II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I get a message that google play is not installed. It was removed due to constant error messages. How do I restore it and its associated files such as google services? Is there a location where I can obtain the files not via google because I am unable to go into the google account via the phone even though the two step security system is off. I am asked to choose the name of the account I want to use to recover google play, I click ok and the phone does not open the account. I fail to reinstall google play for that reason at least. I have tried creating a new google account but could not do so from the phone.
My phone: Samsung GT-18160
OS: Cyanogenmod 11-20-20141214-unoficial-codina
Android version: 4.4.4
Status of phone: Rooted

Unfortunately I used Titanium to remove google services because I was following advice that said if I restart the phone after having removed google services it will be reinstalled automatically. That did not happen.

Is it too early for me to ask if could possibly have a reply to my question about reinstalling google play?

I am unable to access google play. Is there another way of accessing new apps that does not rely upon backdoor access to google play?

*HELP* Unable to access Play Store/Google Services Sprint Galaxy Note 2

As the title says, I'm unable to access the Play Store, etc... When I attempt to log in to my Google account it reads:
"Couldn't sign in
Can't establish a reliable connection to the server.
This could be a temporary problem or your Android device may not be provisioned for data services. If it continues, call Customer Care."
What I've Tried to do:
1. Went to Application Manager > All, & tried to Clear data/cache/uninstall updates for Play Store, and pretty much all other Google Apps/Services
2. Factory Reset like x3
3. Tried http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2110225 but when I get in there, it doesn't just say "127.0.0.1 localhost/ 74.125.93.113 android.clients.google.com" theres a bunch of other stuff (probably due to the fact that I had an Ad blocker app), and when I try to clear it all out and just keep the "XXX.X.X.X. localhost, etc" it says the file is too big and cannot be edited.
Some info on my phone:
Sprint Galaxy Note 2
Version: 4.1.2
Baseband: L900VPAMC2
Build #: JZO54K.L900VPAMC2
Hardware Version L900.09
Rooted w/ cf-root/ no custom recovery
Help would greatly be appriciated :angel::fingers-crossed: I really don't know what to do, It's really a frustrating situation to be in because I can't sync up my contacts and my Chrome stuff etc. This is my first post...I searched everywhere and nothing worked for me. This was a last resort lol...:angel:

I registered just to post here to help you and anyone else in the similar(not same;mine is GT-N7100) situation.
I was in the same boat as you, this is how I solved it:-
1. Factory Reset (I don't think this is required, I did it then hoping it would work)
2. http://galaxynote2root.com/galaxy-n...ootunbrick-galaxy-note-2-with-stock-firmware/ (up to Step 8) <- solved here
Hope this helps. Have a great day/evening/whatever :good:
Just for sake of asking...Did you remove your google account and re-add it?
Oh, and from what I remember reading, Play Store will not work with any ad blocker apps. And, ensure you have location settings enabled. I was having troubles connecting to the play store on my phone, and was told to enable location settings, so I just enabled "Use Wireless Networks" and play store started right up after that.
Let me know if it works for you. Good Luck!

[Q] Rooted XS not working with Android Device Manager

I have an XS running 6.2.B.1.96, rooted with DoomLord's technique. It has latest Google Play Services.
I'm trying to get the phone to play ball with Google's Android Device Manager. It appears in the list of devices, but ADM gives "Location unavailable" when I try to locate it, and it does not respond to commands to lock or ring the device etc.
ADM is enabled as a Device Administrator in the security setttings, I've cleared the Google Play Services data as per the help pages, but no joy so far.
Has anyone else had the same problem? Any ideas on how to resolve it?

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!!!

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.

I will try.
No ROOT is required here in this method, right?

Nope. No root required
NOPE. It didn't work.. When turning on Now Cards, it is disabled and says 'not available in your country'.
Seems Hotspot Shield didn't work. Probably Rooting and trying would be only option..
FINALLY, this works for me: http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/general/guide-enable-google-cards-country-t3102472

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)
