Hello everyone, I am new to this community so please try to understand. I just rooted and installed the Paranoid Android Hybrid Rom for my Bell S3 variant. Everyone went fine and I understood everything; considering it was my first flash, but now I cannot see most of the apps in the google play store because they are not "compatible" anymore. I was just wondering, is this a problem with just my install or evidence of the incomplete Rom and is there any way around this problem since the current app compatibility seems pretty limited. I would assume this a problem with the model name the google play store sees after my flash install in contrast to the stock model which let me download all apps. Any help would be greatly appreciated and thank you for reading.

No I didn't. I didn't touch any files, just rooted and then flashed the rom then the gapps.
I recently acquired a Gionee M2017 and have been unable to install gapps apks or root the device. There is access to sign in to the google account which indirectly grants a portal to the main google apps including mail, calendar etc. It appears gionee has not granted support to google play services. It is possible to download apps from third party app sites though. Attempts at rooting have been unsuccessful internally with downloaded apps or with PC synchronization via USB debugging. Any suggestions or possibly I will need to wait until gionee sponsors a GMS core app or device can be rooted and flashed.

For more information the methods of rooting tried included: 360 root, king root, kingo root, one click root, v root, z4 root, framaroot, root master (iroot), root genius. here possible on device and rooting apps that allow PC synchronization. It allows developer option of unlocking bootloader but no effect on downloading gapps or rooting.

With the new amigo OS update you can now install and run google play services. Still some bugs...google contact sync stops working and you cannot access google contacts or gmail.
Gionee m2017
Bugs fixed all Google apps work. Choose always allow read contacts and always allow location in app permissions.

I have uploaded videos to you tube with instructions
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=thGtYBo16p4
This is only valid for Gionee M2017 after Amigo OS is updated.
General principle is to install google services framework 6.01 (available APK mirror), followed by google contact sync 6.01, google calendar sync, google play services 10.2.99 (440), google play store.
The downloads are available https://www.apkmirror.com/
Ohhh I am so so thankful. I can't believe I am using it. I was about to throw this phone away as it was becoming useless.
You just made my year.
Respect
Gionee m2017 and Google play
You are welcome. I am happy I could assist you.

hi , recent updates of google play services crashes the google apps in gione m2017, i managed to download and instal older version of google play services, but once it is opened its updating itself to newest version and crashes again.
any solutions?
how do i stop it from self updating? should i waite for another version to come?
tried to root but cant find any root apps to support gionee m2017
thanks
I have not experienced that problem with my gionee m2017. I am using version 8.0.73 without any problems. It is difficult to conclude if the problem is in your app settings or the signature of your updated version. You can try to delete it and install from third party site like app China. Other option choose older version from apk mirror site. Last option would be to reinstall google play services and possibly framework for 6.0.

my gionee is running on amigo os 3.5.11 (m2017 release version) android 6.0.1, could you tell me what version of google apps are installed in your device?
i will download and instal them as well from apkmirror.com
i have reseted my phone to factory details, i want to reinstall Gapss. maybe it will help.
thanks for your reply
I provided my version of play store in the last thread. Google play services 11.0.55. I have the same amigo OS version and android version. If you already reset to factory version then the other trouble shooting for app fixes are moot. Reinstalling gapps should restore functionality.

reinstalling solves the problem partialy.
everything works fine untill google play services updates itself automatically to version 11.3.02 then it stops working.
That is bizarre. I have no suggested fix for that.
There are two ways to install gapps through Chinese installer or sequential installation apk mirror.

should have bought Samsung ok thanks ill waite for another update to google services maybe it will solve ..
After you open play store first time go settings auto update stop updates. Gionee M 2017 is not certified under settings which means occasionally apps will misbehave. There are a lot of third party app sites as well.
Hi,
I installed the Google App from Play Store and it made my S2 almost unusable. Everything is lagging, Google voice search takes about a minute to open, and answers come out of phase. I.E. if I enter a new search term I may get a response to my previous search. After uninstalling Google everything is back to normal. Lineage OS works (almost ) like a charm, without Google.
However, I need Google voice search and I need Google's voice recognition engine for other apps too.
Should I:
- update LineageOS? (Can I do so preserving installed apps and data?)
- change the Kernel?
- downgrade Google?
I'm using Nova Launcher - do I have to remove Trebuchet?
I got:
LineageOS Version 14.1-2017.08.02-Nightly-i9100
Build Number lineage_i9100-userdebug 7.1.2 NJH47D 9edfd84d7b
Baseband Version I9100XXLS8
Kernel Version 3.0.101-CustomKernel-v1.3 [email protected] #1 Mon Mar 27 19:31:17 IST 2017
Important? I changed the ROM size/layout before installing Lineage following some guide I can't find any more .
Thanks for any advice.
Best regards,
Toshi
2 options. Get older version of google or get a new phone. No decent voice services, unfortunately. :/
So yeah. And no, you dont need to remove trebuchet.
Thanks for your reply.
Get older version of google

...that's what I thaught of. But then I updated Lineage to the latest nightly and installed a fresh Google app (com.google.android.googlequicksearchbox) from Playstore.
and BINGO! Everything is working as supposed
Marked as [SOLVED]
Thanks and best regards,
Toshibashi
Hi,
Been looking for an answer and tried multiple options without success so I hope this thread will solve this for me and others.
I have a Nova 2 Plus device from China and cannot install Google play (best I could do is to reach the step where it requires GMS packages). Tried to install from differente links and sites, installed the apk also but no luck.
Can you please help with this?
Thanks a lot!

Does the phone came with a custom firmware? is you bootloader unlocker and phone rooted? if normal methods dont work, you can reinstall oficial firmware with rootin along with de Gapps through sideload with TWRP, or you can try forcing your phone with new firmware to see if now it cames with Gapps
Hi, I am new to modding but have managed to install LineageOS bundled with MicroG onto my Moto G (2015) (LineageOS 'osprey' build).
I now want to install Google Maps only via the least painful method with the absolute minimum contact with the Google ecosystem.
I tried OpenGApps but it seems to have a lot of crud that I don't want. I tried installing Playmaker via TWRP but it said the zip file was an 'invalid zip format'.
Is there any method directly via an apk or some such or will I have to use a repository of some kind? In either case could someone please advise on the best way to proceed?
Thanks kindly in advance!

Thanks very much fella, went with Yalp, works a charm!
Someone else has the problem of gyroscope \ wrong direction with gmaps and microG?
Lol.
Dont use microg.
Dont use gapps.
Dont use google maps.
Open your webbrowser (preffer bromite) and then go to google.maps.com or whatever the site is...
No need to install things that can also be accessed via a browser...
Open Street Maps (osmand) is opensource and excellent. All maps are downloaded locally and as long as you have a GPS fix, it works without a cell connection. (assuming you have the maps). The database (addresses) is not as refined as others but works well and avoids using G and F.
https://osmand.net/
Of course they have G and Amazon app store links. Avoid that, if you contact them they might give you a download link for their apk after payment on amazon. Did not have to install the Amazon app store, just used them for payment.
Open street maps also has a website.
https://www.openstreetmap.org/
@Privacydroid is right-on, don't install apps you have not examined for their network activity. Especially if you can access on a browser (some of which can be configured to block useless domains).
