How to install a first app without a pc or vpn!

How to install a first app without a pc or vpn!
Note: If market not accessed in your country (like me in IRAN) or not support your gsm operator (Like me again with IR-MCI) , you must connect to vpn for first problem and install Marketaccess.apk to emulate other operator (like t-mobile) for second problem.
Hint: Marketaccess.apk help you to install apps in external storage too.
This tutorial helps you to install apps without a pc, on air with 3g or wifi connection in your android device.
1- After install your new rom or after a new factory reset boot...
2- Start browser app
3- Go to www.slideme.org
4- On right column click the Sam 3.5 red button to download it…
4- After complete drop down status bar and click on it to install
5- Open Sam 3.5 and search for a file manager like astro, es file explorer or others..
6- Download and install full! Or free versions
7- Download apps with any browser and install it, or install any apps from your storage with file managers.
8- If you download apps from google market or any other market (like Sam) may need appsaver.apk app to save installed apps to storage for future installations.
Hint: You might need transfer your app to your android device without an usb cable or Bluetooth dongle. It’s possible if you have an access point. Just search and install wifi file explorer.
Note: I don’t know may I teach to search, download and install full version apk files for free, or not!?
Just PM to me to teach you….

Android Market problem

I have samsung Galaxy Mini that come with NO Android market
I tried to install it but i cannot open it
How can i solve this?

how did you try to install it? by flashing gapps or by installing an .apk file?

If it is still pretty much unused, did you consider factory reset?

I install it using .apk file

Not long time the Android Market is change to Google Play.
Show that have you Google Play on your phone?

if you're rooted, flash it with the gapps zip and see if that works. Or a factory reset like bylecosoft suggested.

Sorry but i am new with android phones, and the market is not present since i bought the telephone
Please explain to me what to do, does factory reset restore android market
How can i root the device ? and What is gapps.rar?

This is what you have to do:
Step1
Go to settings>Applications>(enable)Unknown sources
Step2
Open browser>google "Google Play.apk">download it
Step3
In notifications bar you should see it,click it and install it.
Hope it helped

If u just brought the phone, contact samsung or ur carrier (ie sprint tmobile)..... DO NOT ROOT it if ur new to this stuff and ur just trying get the market. As the other guy said earlier, its not called android market anymore but "google play" now... this change just happen not too long ago. And I do believe those google market apks no longer work, so u may need a google play apk... but if ur phone is a registered google which all samsung products are, than getting google should be easy.. but don't root unless u know what u r really doing becuz u void ur warranty and loose access to any carrier updates that ur phone company may put out. Rooting is not recommended for Newbies unless u have reason and some undetstanding of what ur getting into.
---------- Post added at 10:43 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:36 AM ----------
And gapps is a file rooted users use to get google apps (google maps, play, voice, support etc...)bck on their phone.. u want need that unless u root and erase ur current android operating system to put some hacked version of android on there like Cyanogen. Stock ur phone already comes with those apps and services built in, just try what butterfly said above and if that doesn't work contact samsungs or ur carrier tech support... that the easiest way..

Easy way to access US play store contents outside us.

Hi guys!
All you need is:
Market Access apk View attachment MarketAccess.apk and spotflux apk http://spotflux.com ( coming soon to android)
Hey wait why should I use market access while have market enabler, etc? Becz it includes option to emulate on boot which I found handy, u dont need to fake carrier everytime you boot.
And why spotflux? You will know it once u use it.
Since we dont have spotflux for android yet and for those who want to give it a try right away follow these steps...
1. Install spotflux on your PC ( Windows/ Mac)
2. Enable it, if you are connected to proxy n/w provide your proxy in options.
3. Use connectify to create a hotspot and Inter to share is Spotflux N/w Device Driver.
4. Connect your mobile.
5. Install market access apk.
6. Clear Play store cache.
7. Enjoy complete access to US play store contents.
Hope this will be useful...thnks.

[SOLVED] How to enable Google Now on Android 5.0 Lollipop Nexus 5

***PLEASE CHECK OUT UPDATE METHOD AT THE END!***
For those of you who cannot get Google now to work because you live in “Other countries", here's a fix that works for the Nexus 5 running the official Android 5.0 Lollipop released yesterday (Thursday 13th).
Here are the possible problems you ran into:
1. In Google Search's setting, you are unable to "flick on" Google Now with text "Google Now requires location services which are not available."
2. You signed out of the Google account, cleared Google Search app, uninstalled updates from Google Play Services, and signed in again. But after you click "Yes, I'm in" in you get a simple message saying "This account is not eligible for Google Now"
Be sure that your device's language is in English (United States)
Fix:
1. Download and install Market Unlocker (I am apparently a new member and not allowed to post links)
2. If your country blocks Google Play (eg. China), download SpeedVPN
3. If you are logged into Google: Settings-->Accounts-->Google-->*Click on your email*-->Three button on top right-->Remove Account
4. Go into Settings-->Apps -->Clear data for both Google Play Services and Google Search
5. Now open Market Unlocker --> Enable Unlocker (Default should be Verizon United States, if not, swipe right and choose that)
6. Turn of the phone.
7. Important: remove SIM card
8. Turn on the phone, connect to wifi, and open SpeedVPN -->Choose "United States"
9. Long press on homescreen -->Settings--> turn on Google Now
10. Log in and you should get your Google Now working.
11. Put back your SIM card
Hope it helps guys. Let me know if you run into any problems during this process.
UPDATE!
HERE'S A NEW METHOD THAT WORKS FOR LOLLIPOP ON NEXUS 5 as of February 1st 2015
This method has also been tested on Nexus 4 running Lollipop 5.0 as well. Here are the steps
1. Make sure you are rooted and have a working VPN
2. Download and install "location report enabler"
3. Run it and grant root access
4. Restart phone, turn on airplane mode with Wi-Fi on
5. Set VPN to country like America or England
6. Clear data for Google Launcher, Play services, Play store
7. Settings--> Location--> Google ----> enable location
8. Sign out of Google account
9. Back to home screen, use Google search to "remind me to buy milk"
10. Go through sign in steps
11. Back to home screen and swipe left. Voila!
Again if you have any questions please comment!

How about before step 1 you turn on airplane mode and in step 3 you uninstall updates + disable Google play services?

I actually got my Nexus 5 from Taobao and then clean installed lollipop. This worked for me. Did you try removing your SIM?

I use to do it when I uninstall all google play service updates after I disable it but now I can't even check this 'cause the button is 'unclickable'

you must uncheck "Android Device Mangaer" from Security -> Device administrators to make that button clickable

Same for me, I just cannot get it to work. Tried several times, also uninstalled the updates of Google Play Services. And yes, I am rooted...
I also removed my Exchange account and disabled all device administrators

When it says account not eligible and goes back to google search just make it remind something (eg - remind me to sleep in 10 minutes) before doing anything else and it should automatically enable google now and take you to google now. Worked for me and hope this helps yall

Interestingly I didn't even get to try it out.
Google Now worked after following the steps mentioned by dollarside. However, it was probably the 5th I've tried.
Might be related to Market Unlocker that didn't seem to work at first. I used the guide from here (including proxy settings) and downloaded the latest version (3.5.1). After rebooting I made sure that the app actually said Market successfully changed (I had failed before after the reboot).
Another reason could be that I used Astrill VPN before (with different US servers). The last and successful attempt was with SpeedVPN.
In the end I cannot say what helped. Being persistent turned out to be successful. This time.

it's work for me in second try without rooting or using market unlocker.
on my nexus 4 from Iran

Perfect !:good:
Works on 5.0.1
Many Thanks

Hi, can you explain what you did?

100% working solution credits to reddit user archie411.
==
Yay the new update (Google App 4.1.24.1672412.arm) works with the old trick I used.
The old trick if anyone needs it (Needs root) -
Install Titanium Backup. Install a File Manager and a Launcher. I used ES File Explorer and Nova Launcher.
Find and download com.google.android.googlequicksearchbox-2.6.7.721924.arm version of Google Search and copy it to your phone. (Won't post the link because it's not allowed. You can find it in Androidfilehost)
Open Titanium Backup and tap on "Backup/restore". Scroll down to Google Search and tap on it. Do a backup by tapping "Backup!!" (Just in case) Then tap on "Un-Install!" (Make sure you have a different launcher installed before doing this!!")
Restart your phone.
Open the file manager, navigate to the folder where you copied the Google Search 2.6.7.721924 apk and install it. Open it and it will ask to Opt in to Google Now. Tap on "Yes I'm in".
Download and install the latest update from APKMirror Google App 4.1.24.1672412.arm.
And you are done! Feel free to remove the other launcher and file manager.

[ALTERNATIVE][HOW-TO] Workaround GAPPS installation

Before i begin with this tutorial full credit of for the files of this tutorial go to Twilight glass: https://bbs.nubia.cn/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=1397112
Welcome to my alternative guide to installing GAPPS on the nubia x. This tutorial is only for people who are having issues with Teeemoo's method of installing GAPPS or for people who to want to have a more up to date version of GAPPS. Im sure most people have already seen Teeemoo's tutorial but for anyone who hasn't, it shows how to root and install GAPPS.
Once again keep in mind this is a workaround and should not be the official way in how to do it, keep your eyes on the Chinese forums if your waiting for updates on twrp and GAPPS. Im not taking any responsibility if anything goes horribly wrong
Teeemoo's: https://forum.xda-developers.com/nubia-x/how-to/how-to-gapps-nubia-x-t3878441
Like Teeemoo's tutorial this requires root, as i don't believe there is any method to install GAPPS without root. I can help with the basics on getting root on the nubia x but if you need a tutorial Teeemoo's tutorial is your best bet and if your still having issues Twilight glass's root tutorial will help, as long as you use google translate.
Now if your all ready we'll begin.
There is this text tutorial but if you are having issues I've uploaded a video to my mega drive (it is the same place as all the other files)
STEP 1: Download the Google folder from the mega link(DOWNLOAD AT THE BOTTOM OF THE PAGE)
STEP 2: Move the files to downloads folder if there not already there.
STEP 3: Install Root Explorer (DOWNLOAD ON MEGA)
STEP 4: Open Root Manager and copy the 4 google folders from downloads to /system/prive-app
STEP 5: Now go to /system/prive-app and select the 4 google folders and select the 3 dots at the top right of the app, then select permission settings.
STEP 6: Enter the octal 0755 and check both options at the bottom (apply to all folders and subfolders, not to subfolders).
STEP 7: Once you have confined these options restart your phone straight away.
STEP 8; IMPORTANT STEP FOR ANYONE WHO IS HAVING DATA ISSUES WITH APPS LIKE GOOGLE PLAY AND YOU TUBE.
Make sure when you open the google play store and login in to your google account with moblie data enabled not wifi (this is important) if you want to be able to use google play and other google apps on data reliably
GOOGLE FILES DOWNLOAD: https://mega.nz/#F!8poGlAqL!lJv5HZaa_iT-mMTWJhk7Hw
This is it for the Google play install for anyone having issues feel free to leave a comment and ill try to get back to you. And once again full credit for the files goes to Twilight glass.
Thanks for reading if this helped please feel free to leave a like.

Contact sync is still bugged I think cause of how the Nubia software is correct me if I’m wrong however the download issue can be fixed by downloading permission manager and enabling all the permissions needed
