I found a way to get theme store and other apps that come with other region phone versions but you need to have root.This is for EU phone, I do not know if this work on other phones versions .Also I am on Realme ui c28 version .
The apps are installed but hidden, the apps that this give are theme store, google phone, google contacts, google messages and app market. It also unlock call recording . I bet that you can add only several of them but because I can freeze or uninstall them later I did not continue to find a way to do it. I recommend to do this to this after installing stock rom or after doing factory reset as at first I think that it did not work for me, maybe because I tried to install many versions of themes apk.
Instructions
1.You need to download any file explorer that can access system folder, I used root explorer (paid app)
2.You need to go to /system/etc/oppoRegionMarkFeatures and copy com.oppo.regionmark.EUEX.xml and com.oppo.regionmark.RU.xml to internal storage in case that you want to revert this change .
3.Delete com.oppo.regionmark.EUEX.xml on /system/etc/oppoReginMarkFatures and rename com.oppo.regionmark.RU.xml to com.oppo.regionmark.EUEX.xml .
4.You need to go to /system/etc/ and copy the blacklist folder to internal storage in case that you want to revert this change.
5.You need to go to /system/etc/ and delete the folder blacklist .
6.Reboot the phone .
7.you need to go to setting and now you see on the top under search, sign in or something similar, click on it and register an account. Then you can go to setting, then click on "home screen & lock screen magazine", scroll down and you will see "Set Theme ."
8.Now you can select any theme you want and hit apply. The themes that you see is based on the region that you set the phone to, you can select India and reboot the phone and you will see other themes, most of them cost money but if you search free, you will see a free ones . You can also find a guides of how to install a paid themes for more then 5 minutes free trial .
Will the replacement of EUEX with RU create any problems?
I tried your procedure and it worked, but I reverted it waiting for your answer.
By the way, the themes will affect only stock launcher, right? Not the system interface, or am I wrong?

I do not think that it will crate any problem, I am on c28 and all work as before, nothing is removed, only added .The EUEX (Europa) has restriction that that Russia does not, It just easier to rename the files and not need to download any other files. Also can you tell me what firmware you are ? I want to confirm if it work on any other firmware other then c28 as I think that they change some files .Here is a link to download the blacklist folder - https://mega.nz/file/EM0lhLgZ#dqHsIf8LlfJmWzvbCTAxwmBAJuoIvL1EYD86p6yuoAg
The Theme can affect the system interface, notification panel but not all do it, most do not.

Hi. I'm on C.28 downloaded from European site.
And thank you for blacklist folder. Now I'll add files again. Except for app manager I'm not interested in the other apps. And of the themes I tried none was interesting.
But your method is amazing. And I can confirm the whole morning I haven't had a single problem.

I do not mind that you translate or share this guide, just do not forgot to write that it work on c28 and this is not tested on other versions. I once tried to do it on c27 and it did not work but I edit some other files before, so maybe it cause the theme store to have problems applying themes.
Hi, this does not work on RUI 2.0 F.14. Do you have another steps to perform so i can unlock the hidden apps?

Hi All,
***************************************** Warning ********************************
Doing any stuff mentioned below might brick your phone and
I am not responsible for that. Please do it at your own risk and
after knowing what you are doing.
************************************************************************************
Was trying few small things with the phone.
1) Tweaking the build.prop for fun.
I tried few changes with build.prop as following are the changes I have done.
A) ro.sf.lcd_density=200 changed from 240 increases resolution. but I am not sure about stock launcher as I have Go Launcher.
B) ro.media.enc.jpeg.quality=100 sets jpeg img quality to 100%
C) windowsmgr.max_events_per_sec=55 improves performance.
......more to come soon.
Have attached my build.prop as build.prop.txt all u need is removing .txt at the end.
2) Tried boot animation and its simple by replacing bootanimation.zip in /system/media/
3) Never liked typing password/pin/pattern for unlocking the device, I used this one methode for Galaxy S2 to have security less/administrator less email. You can try it from following link.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1117452
Alternatively follow following steps;
How to apply this patch?
1) Root your phone. Your phone must be rooted. It is impossible to apply this patch without root access. You need root to proceed. Get Java (Java SE JRE v6 or 7)
2) Get USB drivers. Most likely you already have this because of step 1.
3) Enable USB debugging on the phone (Settings->Applications->Development->USB debugging)
*must have a working adb connection.
4) Download and unzip attached patch email policy zip.
5) Run apply-patch.cmd
* Mac/Linux users: run apply-patch-nix.sh for further instructions
THANKS rustamabd from Galaxy S2 forum for this, its whole and solely his work, I have only copied his work.
Zipaligning your apps.
Here is a way to zipalign all your systems for better performance as zipaligned apps consume less RAM.
1) Unzip attached zipalign.zip anywhere on your windows machine.
2) Open cmd run command adb pull /system/app app_stock. This will copy all apps from system/app to app_stock folder.
3) Run zip-align.exe and click select folder with apks and choose folder app_stock of step 2 and click yes when it asks open output folder with .bat
4) The folder that will open will contain one zipalign.bat file, run this batch file by double clicking it.
5) When it completes all your zipalign apps will in folder zipalignedapps in same folder as of bat file.
6) Run cmd and navigate to the folder where zipalignedapps folder is. Run adb push zipalignedapps /sdcard/
7) Reboot phone recovery(CWM recovery only) and goto mount menu, mount sdcard and system
8) Open cmd on your computer and run commands in same sequence as following.
adb shell cp /sdcard/zipalignedapps/* /system/app/
adb shell chmod 644 /system/app/*
9) unmount system and sdcard
10) goto advance menu of recovery and wipe dalvik cache
11) reboot your phone. It will take some time to reboot but will be fine.
Thanks to Jip-Jan for the zipalign application.
New battery circle mod.

Video Calling in Gtalk is supported in ICS.
For video calls you need a client like Fring or Skype.
For other FM app, try Spirit FM

Have you installed the lib file into the lib directory? I have it working on NOS. I had the same problem but I changed the lib file from rw-rw-r-r to
rw-r-r-r now it works like a charm. I used root browser. Give it a shot!
EDIT: Ooops I missed your edit. Changing the language worked as a temporary fix for me for awhile, changing the lib files permissions fixed in permanently.
Everything is working except the ability to start voice search by saying OK Google. Is it working for everyone else? Works on my N7

The Nokia X2 versions are the ones that crash on ROMs other than stock, because they use HEREGeocoder services. Other versions work fine. The ones you mention must be Play Store versions.

App not installed s8 oreo no root
Cant install on s7 edge oreo
I can't install it on unrooted Snapdragon Note8 either
There's no point, the app can't be installed on any device other than the S9. Samsung patched the Secure Boot workaround that we could use to install otherwise incompatible apps on Nougat, so since this app only supports Oreo, there's no way for anyone but S9 users to install it.
Hey ! I've installed it on exynos s8, everything looks good but when I clic on a conversation it crash
you need to replace it as a system app. I have it installed and running. I had a friend pull ALL apps. Also Snapdragon modded systems on Oreo all the wayyyyyyyyyyy

Pretty sure that the dolby settings will only work with the matching hardware on the s9.
99% sure that dolby from the s9 will not work on the s8. It doesn't have the matching hardware, OR the dual speaker setup.

Actually, a lot of people are reporting being able to install it successfully, on S7's (pretty sure I read some people being able to do it) and definitely on some models of the S8. I'm running snapdragon US model on Oreo, and was not able to install it. Most likely, it is region locked, or specific to international models only. There are screenshots in-app on a thread here on XDA somewhere, you'll be able to find it with a quick search.
Just like when the system dump of the S8 made it online, most could successfully update a handful of the new apks, but some, like contacts, messages & phone could not be updated because of a region lock/international model only lock. I think I remember it having something to do with having the corresponding CSC on your phone, and also because they are system-level apps. Not 100% on that explanation, but I do not for sure that people have been able to install this APK on their phones.

Actually, a lot of people are reporting being able to install it successfully, on S7's (pretty sure I read some people being able to do it) and definitely on some models of the S8. I'm running snapdragon US model on Oreo, and was not able to install it. Most likely, it is region locked, or specific to international models only. There are screenshots in-app on a thread here on XDA somewhere, you'll be able to find it with a quick search.
Just like when the system dump of the S8 made it online, most could successfully update a handful of the new apks, but some, like contacts, messages & phone could not be updated because of a region lock/international model only lock. I think I remember it having something to do with having the corresponding CSC on your phone, and also because they are system-level apps. Not 100% on that explanation, but I do not for sure that people have been able to install this APK on their phones.

The launcher APK from an Exynos S9+ won't install on an Exynos S8+ either, even though it has nothing to do with CSC or country-based stuff.

Uh, that's not how it works. QMG is completely different, renaming it to .png isn't going to magically make it a PNG...
I have all the Snapdragon APK files from a Galaxy S9+. They will only install on android nougat though, and in some instances, will revert back to whatever you had before installing it after a reboot. Cureently working on getting it to install on android oreo. I have an T-Mobile S8+ on oreo version U2CRB8, I might update to CRB9 tomorrow. If anyone has experience porting, please let me know.
Thanks. Working on unrooted S7 edge exynos.
Does anyone here know of a way to install apks on the LG Exalt and kyocera flip phones?

I do not know what the original poster meant to write but checkout apps4flip, they are a website which provides apks for 4G Flip phones.
Hope this helps.
apps for flip
Apps4flip.com is only a very limited amount of
Apps and there is no messaging apps there
Also wondering
I would also like to find the answer to this exploit. I was at apps4flip before I came here looking. At apps4flip it explicitly states in the faq that others have found this apk signature exploit and I expected that if I was going to find these 'others' this would be the place.
apk on flip
if you send the apk file via bluetooth the installing process is starting, then you get a message that u can't install from unknown sources.
if you could solve this, you could put up anything
Decompile the app.
Change the package name in androidmanifest.xml to com.android.cts.appname.
Recompile the app.
Sign the app with any generic debug certificate.
App will now install to any android based flip phone.
(CTS stands for compatibility test suite, and if you rename the package as such it will bypass the phones signature check, therefore allowing the app to install.)

Just the package name needs to be changed? Like could I just do this with APK editor -> common edit -> change package name?
i've done all of the steps in your post but i can't seem to figure out how to sign apps. with a generic debug certificate. could you explain how this is done?
It worked!
