Is anyone out there aware of a way to root a Galaxy Beam 2 (SM-G3838)?
I recently purchased an ulocked device. It did not come with Play Store installed, and I can not seem to get it to work by installing the APK file.
The phone would be a great help at work if I could fully convert it to an American Phone.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
HuskerJeff
Search youtube for "Allabouthegalaxybeam" - he's done a tutorial on how to root + playstore / google services and it worked well for me.

Update - I just found a method that works better than the Allabouthegalaxybeam youtube tutorial.. unfortunately I can't post links yet, but do the following:
1) Root your phone using the above tutorial.. but stop after rooting.
2) Use ODIN to flash CWM 6.0.5.0 - there is a tutorial online that you can use.
3) Install ADB on your PC and ADB Sideload one of the CM Jellybean GAPPS packages.
4) Sign in to your google account and update all your google stuff via playstore.
This will give you full google play services and framework + playstore + all google apps via play store, and you don't need to go through any strange 3rd party app stores or do any root explorer file copies. This is the most stable / secure way of getting Google on to the beam 2.

There is not much about your exact device on xda, but I found this solution for a simialr issue: [SOLVED] install failed shared user incompatible.
Maybe it works for you too.
Basically I would try to flash latest GApps for your firmware (Android) version in custom recovery ... like described here: [newest]Google Play Service for all custom rom by fifa2151.
Gapps can be found here:
[GAPPS] The Gapps Central - Consolidated Gapps [Updated 21-04-2015]
[GAPPS][2015-04-04] Google Apps Minimal Edition for Android 5.0.x & 5.1
[GAPPS][5.1/5.0/4.4] Official Slim GApps & Custom GApps
[Gapps]Download PA Gapps Mirror! [5.1.x/5.0.x/4.4.x] [Lollipop/Kitkat]
Good luck !

Why can't I install apks on my pixel 3. I can download them but as some as I tap install the phone reboots. It works from the play store and I have all the settings set that are required to install apks.
Is it possible that the issue was caused by some security app installed?
Or is the apk itself incompatible with this mobile phone?
I did not install any security apps. I tried to install about 5 apks and none of them worked. Why would the apks not be compatible with android? I have android 11 could that be a problem?

Note that you won't see incompatible apps when searching via Google Play on your Android smartphone or tablet. The apps that fail you probably downloaded from another source.
