I got a Chinese version Zoom, I wanna use GMS but failed to find any way to get it rooted.
So I tried to install .apk directly..I installed the Google Play services 9.0.83 (280-121911109) from apkmirror but it does not work. Then I wanna install the 8.7.03 (2645110-280) one. However, it shows I can only force stop and disable the .apk but cannot uninstall it.
What I don't understand is, how can I install that .apk into the /system directly ?
And what can I do now ?
Now the version of play service and system is as follows:

I have a Kindle Fire, no root, with Go Launcher EX installed. I have most of the Google apps, such as the framework and gmail, but the Play Store force closes instantly when I open it, and 20110208124835-com.android.settings.apk will not install at all... It says that it's replacing a system app, asks if I want to continue, then says "application not installed."
I want the Swype app, but I have to go into settings and select it as an input method. But the Amazon settings app only allows Kindle Keyboard, I need access to the settings of a normal Android phone/tablet.
I'm using the APK Downloader Chrome Extension to get all of my apps, but the problem is that it goes through my cell phone's ID, so I can only download apks that are compatible with both my phone and tablet.. It'd be nice to have the Google Play Store.
Is there a way to get these two installed without rooting? I've looked around, but no forums explain my situation as far as I could tell.
No root no go.

Tried it with Lucky Patcher?
Or tried with Freedom apk?
Start the service, launch the app store and then stop it and it should work again..
Might be that you killed your Google Services..
It might be possible that you have to install a custom rom and to install the Google Services via manual flash..
As many of you know, the latest version of google play services does not work on the Fire Phone. It is extremely annoying for most of us that google play services updates itself to the latest version and crashes/fails to work. There is a very simple way to lock Google Play Services to whatever version you want if you have root - here's how:
#1. Install the version of google play that you want. Uninstall the new version and reinstall the old version if you have to.
#2. Open up a file explorer such as ES File Explorer.
#3. Navigate to /data/app.
#4. Create a new directory and name it com.google.android.gms-2.apk. If that file already exists, name it com.google.android.gms-1.apk.
Done!
The next time google tries to update itself, you might see an error such as "no disk space". Basically what is happening is google doesn't expect a folder so it doesn't know how to overwrite it. Hopefully someone will be able to patch google play services for fire phone or we'll see a new Fire OS version based off of android 5.0, until then - here's a simple way to stick to the version of google play services that you want!
Don't many apps like gmaps require the latest version of the store to function?
For me, Maps complains about requiring the latest version, but still runs... for hangouts, it wouldn't run so I gave up and just run hangouts 3.x version...
Basically, worst comes to worse, just run older versions of google software released around the time of your working version of google play services...

What I do is I used the app DISABLE SERVICE(S) and I disable 3 auto updating services to Google Play, then I take the Google Play Services that I WANT and I set it as a SYSTEM APP, then even if it DOES get overwritten, I just "uninstall" the update and it reverts back to the "factory version"

I've got an Amazon Fire Phone 32GB and by seeing some tutorials i was enable to install play store in it, but after a day or two it stopped working, then i formated it and installed everything again, it worked fine for two days and after it again same happened, when i open play store it shows only white screen and nothing happens, no message, no errors, no caution, only a white screen, please help me out
Thanks In advance
Install Play Store as a system app, then use any file explorer with root access and go to: "/data/app" and create a new folder named "com.android.vending-1.apk. This will act as a placeholder to avoid auto updates until your problem is fixed.
Please provide more information about the GApps you have currently installed: write down the exact version number of the Play services, Play Store, Google account manager, etc. so it will be easier to locate the problem.
Please list also if you use any extended privacy tools or Xposed modules...
As far I know, any Google Play and Google Play Services update released in 2017 and beyond probably won't work the A100. I speculate, this is due to Google stopping their support for CPU without the NEON instruction set.
Requirement:
Root Access
A root file explorer
Instruction:
1. Turn off Wifi to prevent auto-update when reverting back to the factory version
2. Go into the Settings => Select Apps => Find Google Play Services and Google Play Store => Uninstall Updates to restore to factory version
3. Download the latest APKs that works
Google Play Store 7.4.25
Google Play Services 10.0.84
4. Using a root file explorer, go into data/app and create two folders called com.google.android.gms-1.apk and com.google.android.gms-2.apk. DO NOT overwrite any existing file. Do the same for Google Play Store - com.android.vending. This process will trick Android into thinking there is no room to place the updated APKs.
5. Turn on Wifi.
Hope this helps out.
