How to get Android Market on my device ?

I have an Android 2.1 device which does not contain any Google apps. I want to add the Market to it so I can enjoy new apps.
is there any simple way to do this ?

What device? You could easily flash google apps.

I tried to flash google apps, but when connecting to the market it keeps saying that I have an unreliable connection. Have tried over and over again, but no connection to the Market.

Search the forum for the market apk. There are several threads that have the apk in attachment.

The Note is a fully functional Android phone. Just use the Android market or any of the other markets like Amazon. Or you can side load with adb.

Connect your phone to wifi, start Market on phone, login with google account when asked and install apps.
When you log on Market from your phone, then phone is added on your google account and then you can use market site to install apps on your phone, but you must have internet connection on phone. I don't have antivirus on my phone and I don't have any problems...

Downloading app that's not available in your country and/or your device

You need a rooted device. There are few applications that do not need root, but I do not know about them.
And I am not responsible for any damage caused to your device.
Not available for country
I was told there are so many ways but none of them are working now due to some restrictions by Google and I am able to download the applications that are not meant to my country (India) and that are not meant to my device.
In order to do that, we need a VPN application which makes the servers think that you are browsing from the allowed country. But that's not it. You should also have a Google account that's created in that country. So if you want to download an application that is only available for USA, you should have the Gmail account created in USA (in our case, USA servers).
There are so many VPN applications availabe on the store as well as from unknown sources to download.
I have tried VPN One Click, Hideman VPN, and DroidVPN personally and liked all of them. I was not really sure that these are well trusted, I will leave about them to you so you better check the review before you download them.
Basically, we are here trying to bypass your service providers IP address and make the online services (websites or play store) look like you are connected from a different country. So download your choice of VPN application and install it. In our example, let us think we are downloading an application that is meant for USA. Once the VPN is installed, set it to access through USA servers.
Now open a web browser and check yourself that you are directed to the USA based websites when search for something. Once that's done, create a dummy Gmail account. Once created, open Play Store, tap on settings > Accounts > Add Account. Now add the dummy account to your Android device. Make sure the Play Store shows both the accounts. It doesn't matter which was set to default, you can always change it. After you have added it, the apps will be downloaded/synced. You don't need to sync all your device data to this dummy account.
Now we have to delete all the data of the Play Store. Go to Settings of your device > Apps/Applications. Search for Play Store and tap on "Clear Cache" and "Clear Data" then Force Stop the app.
Now Re-Open the Play Store and you should be asked to accept the Terms of Services (make sure the VPN is still running and account of Play Store should be set to the dummy Gmail account). You should be placed in the USA based Play Store. Now you can search for the app and download it.
Not available for device
This will be helpful if you want to download an app that's not available for your device but you want to try it.
There are again so many apps that makes masks Play Store service. Out of which I have used is called one that's called Market Helper.
Download and install this app to your device. Open it and choose the type of device you want to make your device look like. In this case, we again are trying to download a Galaxy S3 supported app on non supported device. So select the type of your device as Phone and the phone as Samsung Galaxy S3. Set the Operator to USA and AT&T or anything else. Once all set, tap on Activate. Now go to Play Store and search for the application that's not available for your device.
Note : If you are trying to download an application that's not available in your country and also for your device, you need to setup both of the above instructions.
If you are having difficulty after trying everything, unlink your Credit Card details from your Google Account. You will have to log into Google Wallet to remove it.

Cannot connect google servers
Hi,
When i try to add new account it returns an error:
"Couldn't sign in"
"There was a problem communicating with Google servers.
Try again later"
Any idea? I used Hideman VPN.
Edit:
I was getting this error after typing password and next.
I don't know if it has any effect but turned off my phone, removed sim card
connected via VPN again, just entered google play with existing account and it asked a prompt from me for terms of usage. Accepted and searched for the application i tried to install which was not avalible for my country. (It should be actually but wasn't able to install after i rooted and installed PAC ROM 4.3.1)
Thanks again!

Hi,
Is this app really safe to use? It won´t steal data or hurt my phone, right? Thanks in advance.

You can do this job by using Rocket VPN which is free and safe to use.

Updating google play country
Ok so I contacted google today as I was trying to download an app that was restricted in the previous country I was in.
I had previously tried using vpns etc with no luck (LG G3)
Since this is my first post I am not permitted to post links yet, so add https:// to the start of each url
Below is their troubleshooting guide to fixing the issue, I'm assuming that putting in any country you like would allow you to access that countries store.
The content available in Google Play varies by country, and we use your home address in your Google payments service account to help determine which version of Google Play you see.
If you're having issues viewing your country's version of Google Play, please try the following troubleshooting steps (ideally using a browser on a desktop or laptop computer, but on a mobile device will work also):
1. Sign into payments.google.com and click the Settings icon on the left.
2.Click Edit next to the "Name and Address" and update the address (please note this is different from the "Address book" which holds shipping addresses).
3. Open the Google Play website and navigate to any paid item available for download at play.google.com/store/apps.
4. Click to begin a download until you reach the 'Accept and buy' screen (no need to complete the purchase).
5. Close Google Play and clear your browser cache if you're on a desktop or laptop computer.
6. Clear the cache and data of the Google Play Store, Google Play services, and Download Manager.
7. Wait 30 minutes.
8. Re-open Google Play. You should now see content that matches the country in your home address.
If these steps don't resolve your issue, you can also try purchasing a paid app and refunding it within the 2-hour return window in place of Step 4 above; however, returns like this can only be done in the Play Store app at this time.
If the country for your Google Play account still hasn't updated, please remove and re-add your Google account from your device.

This guide will instruct you on how to access Google play store in China, or any locale in the world.
It works for all phone types.
It works for all models and carriers.
It will show and make available all the apps and content as available in Google Play Store, US.
Requirements
Phone, USB cable, Internet connection, VPN access (I use HMA), Supporting files.
Your phone MUST be rooted. You’ll need to access configurations and allow programs superuser privileges.
If you’re not prepared to root your phone, you can end here.
Supporting files.
Process
Installing Google Play Store on any phone
Firstly, we need to access the Google Play Store – supported devices page and locate your device. If your device is supported, move on to step 4. If not, (and you’ll find many of the devices sold in China aren’t supported by Google), choose a device from the device list that is the closest approximation to your model.
Install File Commander (included in supporting files). With File Commander, access the /system/build.prop, it will look like this…
Access Google Play Store in China and other countries
Change the product code for your phone so it works in Google Play Store
Scroll down to the ro.product.model = GT-S7566
change it to the model compatible with Google Play Store.
in my case ro.product.model = GT-S7562. Save the file. A number of screens will come up asking if you wish to change the write permissions of the new file.
Accept them.
Restart your Phone.
It will tell you Android is loading updated software and gave you a short waiting screen.
Wait.
Next you need to transfer the GoogleServicesFramework, GoogleLoginService and GooglePlayStore to your phone’s download folder.
Once done, open these with File Commander. Again, it will ask you if you wish to change file permissions.
Accept. Let the programs install and re-start.
Your phone will now work with Google Play Store and all free apps.
Access Play Store apps in any location Worldwide
This little cheat will allow you to ‘pretend’ you’re a U.S. resident.
Google go to great lengths to make their products available under the correct jurisdictions. If you want your phone to ALWAYS have the maximum apps and content, things will be changing regularly to make sure this stays the case. Search on the ‘net or should subscribe (to my blog), to keep abreast of changes.
Install the Market Enabler apk included in the Supported Files.
Log on to your VPN service. From your VPN go to the ‘Help’ section or knowledge base. From here you should find information about allowing their service to be accessed from your mobile device.
Using a proxy
This is the Knowledge base from my VPN
My VPN’s knowledge base looks something like this. It has all the information you need.
The process isn’t a difficult one. The hosts guide will guide you through it.
Fire up Market Enabler. Select one of the carriers (in the U.S.) by pressing and holding.
Select ‘fake this connection now’.
Fire up your VPN Proxy you just set up in step 2. from your mobile device. In mine, it’s in the other settings section.
Access Google Play Store in China and Worldwide
Access Google Play Store in China and Worldwide
If all goes well, it will tell you your device is connected. You will now be surfing from the U.S. from a U.S. carrier for all intents and purposes..
Fire up Google Play Store. This will now be running as if you’re a resident of the United States even if, like me, you’re accessing Google Play Store from a mobile in China.

Yeas.
I take it that you mean Google Play Store force closes.
Problem
Google Play Store needs access to the /system folder in your device.
Solution
Root your device..
Try again.
Thanks for reading my thread.

[Completed] Need help to download a Xperia only app from Play store

Hello everyone,
I'm really hoping if someone could help me here as I've been working on this all night since 7pm and its now almost 7am
I need access to a "Sony Only" app from the Google Play store which I believe is only for Sony tablets. I no longer own a Android device and so I went down the route of installing Bluestacks (Virtual Android) on my Mac and I tried rooting it to change the build.prop file and things started to fall apart. All I need is the APK, if someone could help me I'd be forever grateful.
The app is called "Sony 4K Ultra HD Remote". For some reason it doesn't appear in the Play store for me but a Google search brings it up instantly. I would post the link to the Google Play store for the app but I haven't had more than 10 posts on my profile in order to post links.
If someone could perhaps get the APK for me then I'd go out this afternoon and purchase a basic Android tablet to use it on. I just don't want to fork out money on something that might not work. Thank you
Off to catch some ZzzZzz

Hi
It's not Play store, but you can find your apk here => AppBrain - 4K Ultra HD Remote

I've used that link before but when you press download, it redirects you to the Google Play store.

I can't find the apk but there's no chance it would work with anything other than a Sony device anyway. If you still want to try, here's a way to get the all safely:
Install this chrome extension on a chrome on your desktop (i.e. not phone/tablet): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1809458 and set it up
Go to the app page on the Play store site and follow the required steps to use the extension to download the apk and if all goes well you should be able to put it on your device SD card and side load it.
Once again, even if you do get the apk it probably won't work. Good luck anyway

Even if you use the AppBrain apk for download ?
Try to Sony Website
Or search via Google.
Nothing more about your apk in xda.
Good luck
