Sky Go / BT Sport in UK - Huawei MatePad Pro Questions & Answers

Hi. Am lining up this tablet, but it's really important to me that Sky Go and BT Sport works.
I know I can install through APKPure but unsure if they run?
Has anyone in the UK bought this and confirm if they work?

I've installed play store and sky Go without problem so far

How did you install Goggle play? There appear to be several tutorials but I have not been able to use them because I cannot find the zip file to download to start.

If you have another Android device you can install an apk extractor app from play store then extract the sky app and use a file transfer app or Bluetooth etc to send the apk to your matepad

You can root your tablet by using Kingroot app. If you want to install Google Play Store in your tablet, just follow the given steps:
1. Root your tablet using Kingroot app.
2. Download Google Play Services and Google Play Store apk files.
3. Using ES File Manager with root access or any other root explorer, place the apk files in /system/app folder. There should not be any spaces in the names of the two apks. Example:Google Play Store Google_Play_Store
4. Install the two apks using default package installer.
5. Reboot your tablet.
6. Now you can use Google Play Store in your tablet!
Warning:
1. By rooting your tablet you may void your tablet warranty.
2. I am not liable for anything you do with your device.
3. Do it at your own risk.
I have been using Google Play Store for almost 6 months in my HCL ME Connect 2G 2.0 and it is working fine!!!
I m working on this tablet and you all soon gonna get a working custom ROM but I am working alone and I need help. Please if someone can send me the Mtk droid tool backup of the ROM. I will appreciate.

Nope... The screen got broken and I felt it was too outdated to repair it, hence replaced it with a Lenovo tab
BTW, I didn't feel the need of a custom rom later, since I both rooted it and installed xposed framework on it... This combo reduces the need of a custom rom... anyways best of luck if u gonna continue, though I feel there are just a few people who use this tab still now

[q] problem with playstore

Hello everyone, I recently installed miui 5 ROM on my s2 but ever since I did that,I haven't been able to download anything from play store, what ever I try to download just keeps loading the download never actually starts...
It definitely isn't a network problem from my ISP cuz I have another device which I use with exactly same sim and I don't have problems, so its peculiar with my s2...
So please is this normal bug in miui or what?
Check miui settings... I think you need to give Play Store permission to download. I think. Been awhile, I could be thinking of something else completely.

Easiest tutorial to install a custom rom?

A step by step break it down for a major noob tutorial on installing a custom ROM ON KFHD 8.9(the one with the front facing camera only)
I've got root and KFFA, and for have succesfully managed to brick and unbrick my kindle 3 times .
I don't mind AMAZON OS, but my google play has been getting a connection error and my main apps have all been crashing.
So i decided to install a custom rom, but it's not been going very well at all.
The tutorials all lead to me bricking not sure if i'm a fool or if they're unclear or a mixture of the two.
Nothing else to say? maybe some help over skype or teamviewer or something?

Also I still get the no connection [retry] in Google play even though I am running cm11. If you get it, get the app hosts editor (if you don't get this app then you can just delete the hosts file but you will have to restart) and delete/toggle the host android.clients.google.com mtalk.google.com and Google play will connect (this works when you have fire os too).
I got it up and running wonderfullly but alas a new issue arises.
Can't seem to get my computer to detect it.
Did you get cm?
---------- Post added at 09:04 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:03 PM ----------
I see no reason to for me... See if other people running cm can connect it to the computer
yeah, running CM not being detected by my computer at all.

bt sport update requires Google play services unable on fire stick

After the latest update of bt sport I sideloaded onto the fire stick but the message saying it requires access Google play services to open. Does anyone else have this issue or a way to get round it? Older versions I put on don't work as it requires it to update
I'm having the exact same issue. Maybe BT have got wise to it and put a block on it.
Has anyone tried adding the Playstore/services framework to see if that fixes anything?
I haven't. How easy is that to do?
Had same problem yesterday with new update.
Followed these instructions and all good again.
Can't post a link, but do a search on AFTVnews for sideloading Google Play. Article dated 16 October 2016 has the guide.

Did you use the resigned apks to avoid the services update and keep the play store working, or use something else to freeze the play services from the unaltered apks? In theory, is one of these methods better for the stick than flashing the open gapps package? The sideload sequence actually seems reversible compared to flash (think I read someone had to do a factory reset in twrp or restore a backup.

Sorry, you've completely lost me there. I just downloaded the zip file, extracted the four files and sideloaded them in the same order. Followed the instructions and all working.
I then got an out of date message for Google services from the BT App (rather than the doesn't support one) and sideloaded a current version.
When sideloading the four unzipped files I had to remove the spaces from the file names.
I followed the instructions from the article and the BT Sport app just gives me a blank screen then it goes back to the main menu. Any ideas?
---------- Post added at 08:44 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:28 PM ----------
So I started the process again this time using the latest Google Services apk. I kept to the order of the files and the app is working again. I did have to try the app a few times but it then loaded fine and I'm back up and running. Thanks for your help!
Hi folks have stumbled across this after also losing BT sport on fire tv due to update, am following the aftv guide as suggested could someone either please post a link to the latest Google Play Services APK they used as this is how I am coming unstuck.... help greatly appreciated!

You only need the first 3 files.
Then install the google play services update i.e. Google Play services 10.5.35 (238-147654167) beta worked for me.
Hi Guys, just received my new Fire Stick the other day (with Alexa voice control) with a view to side loading the BT Sport App as per the instructions at AFTV as well as this post however I've run through uploading and installing all the apk's which was fine but the BT Sport App is still asking for to update Google Play Services, I've even tried with the updated Google Play Services APK which was released on the 7th but to no avail?
I can open the Google Music App ok but just this BT Sport issue is driving me crazy, is it something I've done or is it some sort of block by BT Sport/Google??
Cheers for any help on this!

See my response above. Just search google for the play services file I listed. Worked for me and still working today.
Sent from my LG-LS993 using Tapatalk
Tried that version as well as the newer version that's now on there. Done a factory reset and tried everything from scratch but still the same?
Only thoughts are the BT Sport App I downloaded may have been updated, is there different versions available somewhere?
fix
Hi There, fyi technics:
1. Uninstall btsport, google play services & google play store from fire tv.
2. Install latest google play services, 11.7.30 FROM Apkmirror
3. Install the google play store apk (com.android.vending) that is located in the zipped file in the aftvnews article about installing google play music posted on the 14th october.
4. Sideload latest version of bt sport apk (4.8.0)
5. Get to the point where u get an error when opening google play store (you will see a retry button).
6. OPEN bt sport
7. Crack open a cold one whilst listening to Michael Owen talk manure for two hours.
God speed, may your hammer be mighty
I'm finding the same as Teknics, have tried both 4.8.0 and 4.9.1 with the latest 11.7.30 Beta and it still saying that I need to update google services.
Even tried the google services that was with the play store from AFTV but still no joy...
Edit.
Finally managed to sort it, uninstalled Google play services and then used Downloader on the Fire to get the services app from apkpure, now it works.
Just need to work out how to navigate it now lol

Amazon FireStick 4K - installing Play Store?

Hello! Can anyone find a solution to install Play Store on FireStick 4K? I manage to install Google Play Store and Google Play services, but i can't sign in. I installed Google Account Manager 7.1.2 , but this is not a solution. Any solution?
A very simple solution to move files on FireStick 4k is to install Es File Explorer, and after that use Total Commander to connect from your PC to FireStick via View On PC option from Es File Explorer (FTP connect).
Gapps goes well beyond installing an APK... You have to be rooted, install Xposed, among other things.

I'd still like that poster to elaborate for the folks out there that would like native google play support, and besides I told you about Aurora, so I'm well aware of it, it's not perfect it has its own issues.
Play Store won't work on Fire TV
It simply does not work. You might want to use Aptoide, third-party app store instead. Or, you could obtain the APK of Play Store app from the internet and sideload it onto Fire TV.
