Manually install Google Playstore? - General Questions and Answers

I bought my Huawei G520 direct from China and forgot Chinese dont like Google so no Google apps!!!!!
I just want Google Playstore & G+ app installing
I managed to root my phone but not been able to flash anything (too complicated)
Anyway, after playing around for weeks I managed to install Google manually by using Root Explorer & adding:
OneTime Initializer.apk
GoogleLoginService.apk
Google Services Framework.apk
Setup Wizard.apk
Gmail.apk
directly into my root\systems\apps folder
Restart my phone - login to Gmail & voila - totally googled and able to install any/all other google apps normally e.g.
Google playstore (sometimes called Phonesky.apk)
G+
ContactSyncAdaptor
CalendarSyncAdaptor
Chrome
Play movies
Google music
Anyway - I done this few times previously without issue - but recently messed up my camera and tried it again and it fails:
Same as always - reset my phone - rooted - Used Root Explorer and added:
OneTime Initializer.apk
GoogleLoginService.apk
Google Services Framework.apk
Setup Wizard.apk
Gmail.apk
directly into root\systems\apps folder
...and this is where it seems to fail - reboot the phone and get "Gmail has stopped working" and cant login
this has never been a problem before
Anybody make sense of this stuff and how I'm going to get Google apps (namely Playstore & G+) working on my Chinese mobile?
Is just 'copying' an apk file to system enough or should i still run them? - dunno - used to work fine - now it doesn't

Google Play Store Not Working On Android 4.1.1 (CM10)

First, some quick details about my setup.
CM: 10-20120909-UNOFFICIAL-p500
- Build 5 from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1811325
Google Play Store: 3.8.17
---
When trying to run the Google Play Store, I get an "Unfortunately Google Play Store has stopped." error message.
I can temporarily fix this by going to Settings -> Apps -> Google Play Store -> *Clear data*, *Force stop*, *Reboot Phone*, at which point the Google Play store starts fine, with two updates (Android Terminal Emulator / Gmail)
If I try to update either of the apps, or install any new app (Either from Phone market place, or PC market place), I get the "Unfortunately Google Play Store has stopped." error, and am back to Step 1 (With Google Play Store not opening at all)
Any ideas?
I am able to install apps via manually browsing to the actual APK using the Browser, or using ES File Explorer (Which I uploaded to my DropBox, and installed VIA Browser) and navigating to my PC's local share, but having to manually find every APK without going to the Google Play Store is rather a hassle

Try reflashing the rom and gaaps, also make sure you are flashing jelly bean gaaps.
Reflash the rom then reboot system then again go into recovery and flash gaaps.
Do a full wipe i.e wipe system, data ,cache, dalvik cache.

is your playstore a system app or user app? playstore sometimes misbehaves as a user app. You can move the playstore apk to /system/app, rename it as Vending.apk and give 644 permissions. THen reboot your phone. Check if this works.
Warez are non-tolerated on XDA. Do not link or post any warez at anytime on XDA. Doing that can lead to a ban.

you can try flashing the gapps package and then individually uninstalling the parts you dont want from system apps by using a file explorer such as ES file explorer...
but as far as i know to run the play store you need to login to google account.
The component it needs is the Google services framework. You cannot use the play store without it.
However....you can disable the parts you don't like. It involves more than just deleting apps you don't want though. You have to disable stuff in the Google services framework to really shut the unwanted components off.
Check the thread in my signature. Go to the 2nd of 3rd post where I have a list of questions. Find the one about wake locks caused by the Google services framework and check out then link in that question. That will tell you how to edit the Google services framework and get you started on that process.
If you follow that guide exactly as I have written it you will end up with basically only the play store working and all other Google apps shut down. It nearly eliminates Google wake locks and might have a positive impact on battery use as a result. The only catch is that your WiFi and data icons will always be grey. They won't change color when connected .

[MOD][TIT-L01][Flashable ZIP] De-Bloat Huawei Y6 Pro without root

Hello,
I want to introduce my first flashable zip, wich is script for Huawei Y6 Pro, firmware B117. This script should work too on TIT-AL00 - Huawei Enjoy 5, and other variants of this device.
Because we do not have root, but have custom recovery with unlocked bootloader, we can de-bloat our device with one small 0.5MB flashable zip, wich only delete bloatware and backup it to /sdcard/hwroot/backup folder, from where you can restore it, if you need these apps back, or simple delete this backup.
If you have updated some apps on list of removed bloatware, it won't delete. But you can try, you can uninstall it as normal app (no restoring stock factory version).
List of removed apps:
From /system/vendor/operator/app
- This apps will install when you make factory reset, now no.
Twitter
Facebook
From /system/priv-app
HiCare
HwBrowser (after new update B117 dissapeared from homescreen, but stayid in system folder, no need it)
Velvet
From /system/app
Chrome
Google Drive
Gmail
GoogleTTS
Hangouts
LatinIME (Google Keyboard, no need, we have Huawei keyboard)
Maps
Google Play Music
Google Photos
Google Play Movies
Talkback
Youtube
If you need some other apps to add to this list, write down!
How to use:
0. You need custom recovery like TWRP or CWM
1. Flash file TITL01-debloat.zip like normal ZIP

play store crashes when downloading

Hello.
Quite a few days ago I tried integrating update system apps into rom with Titanium Backup but those apps disappear:
-google play store
-android system webview
-system update
-smart suite
-talkback
I tried restoring a backup of them with titanium backup, but when I clicked to restore it just didn't do anything (it staied at 0% for ever).
At that point the phone was not connected to my google account anymore and I couldn't even add it going to Settings/Account.
Tried rebooting phone but nothing changed.
So I downloaded Google Play Store 7.2.13.J-all [0] [PR] 138561921 apk file and also Android System Webview (55.0.2883.91 (288309100) arm) apk file and moved them into system/app.
With them I could connect my phone to my google account, but opening the play store I couldn't update my apps or download a new one (play store crashed everytime I tried and this is what I've found in the log: java.lang.SecurityException: Invalid value for is_public_api: null).
I've had a factory reset but I'm still facing the same issue.
I've tried Force stopping Play Store and Clearing data and done the same for Google Service Framework and Download Manager and installed a new version of Google Play Store (7.3.07.K-all [0] [PR] 139935798) but nothing changed.
So this is what I have now (on android 5.0.2, rooted, stock rom):
Android System Webview 55.0.2883.91
Google Play Service 9.6.83 (238-133155058)
Google Play Store 7.3.07.K-all [0] [PR] 139935798
Google Service Framework 5.0.1-1602158
One strange thing I've found is that on Settings/Apps/All I found two Android System Webview:
-one version 37 (eng.android-bld-arm64) (with a world icon)
-and the one 55.0.2883.91 (288309100) arm I've downloaded (with a gear icon)
Is it correct having them both?
By the way, I've tried disactivating that version 37 (eng.android-bld-arm64) (with a world icon) but nothing changes.
How can I solve it? If the way is reflashing the gapps package via recovery, can someone give it to me or tell me where I can find it?
Thanks!
Found this https://www.xda-developers.com/download-google-apps-gapps/ and flashed gapps got from there and play store seems to work properly now.

I know that it’s not easy and it needs patience and repetition, yeah never give up guys do it again and again until you get it ????
Thank you.
Two questions:
1: the older method (from that Spanish video) worked for me. And even though there are error messages the first time I open any Google app, simply turning off the notification will stop it from popping up again. So I've been doing that with no real issues. Does the new method bring any other benefit other than "no need to even mute the notification the first time"?
2: do you know the risk level of these methods? Like are we opening up a major hole in our phone or Google account for potential dangers? Sorry if this is a dumb question. I am still paranoid about using my real Google account through these methods.

M still not clear, can some one explain again for Huawei Mate XS please!!
Even after installing mod2, last step - still notifications keep coming!
can someone else confirm this method works ? I tried and still get the error messages...
---------- Post added at 07:24 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:02 PM ----------
I watched Gatal video the part where he fast forwards is where I think I keep messing up how much time until the GSM framework re appears ?
The fast forward part is not just simply clicking on the screen, but he did unintall and reinstall the framework, Google play, clear cache, clear data.... Etc

I was able to get GSM fully working, without any error notifications popping up whatsoever.
This is what I did (trying to remember from memory)
DISCLAIMER: I take no responsibility on anything bad happening to your device, this worked for me but might
not work for you! Thank you for understanding, I'm just trying to help others here.
1. Download the LZPlay Backup from here:
https://wetransfer.com/downloads/2d...ff5f170d938bd334e98ba2ce20200330034834/8659bc
2. Move it to a memory stick and connect to your Mate XS through OTG
3. Go to Settings -> System -> Backup -> Huawei Backup -> External Storage -> Choose the USB storage and restore
4. Download and extract this file to e.g. root of your phone:
https://drive.google.com/open?id=1mhS8tDhXf4AUtpfh9--8Dg8-MJgc_OKv
5. Install the Google Account Manager from the zip
6. Go to Settings -> Users and Accounts -> New Account -> Google. Follow the instructions and add your account
7. Install Google Frameworks from the zip
8. Install Device ID app, I used this:
https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/evozi...release/device-id-1-3-0-android-apk-download/
9. Using the App, check if there's anything on the Google Services Framework, if there is, uninstall Google Play Services
10. Install modagain1gsm.apk from the zip
11. Check the ID again using the Device ID add, and close all applications
12. Clear data + cache on Google Services Framework (you can try also uninstalling and reinstalling but my device froze
when I tried to do that)
13. Check ID again and close all applications
14. Uninstall Google Play Services (again, if your device freezes, try first clearing data+cache and force stopping it)
15. Install com.google.android.gms2.apk from the zip
16. Check the ID again
17. Reboot the device
Now after these procedures I was able to install Play Store APK and install all applications normally without any error
notifications popping up.
thanks drfroz ill give it another go tonight.. just to ask does Netflix, Hulu, work ? is there a benefit to keep trying vs just disabling notifications ?
