Hi i have recently purchased a Samsung G-9006W from China
Its not a fake, however as it is the Chinese model, there is no google play store etc, along with loads of China Unicomm apps i really dont want or need.
I firstly looked into perhaps flashing a different rom onto the device but now im not so sure that is needed.
the phone works with my sim card and i can make and receive calls perfectly fine
i just needed to know how to get rid of some of these apps
but most importantly install google play store etc
now before i am flamed i have searched but i cant seem to find anything that matches my situation like for like.
Can anyone Please help me or provide some links that can help
regards

I bought a Chinese Android phone for my father, Pioneer E80W which runs Android 4.0.4. It works great except for one big problem - it has been de-googled!!! This is obviously a huge problem, as you cannot load a google account on there, so cannot sync contacts, cannot load Google play on there, Google Maps etc etc. It seems even if you find the APK file for a Google app, it won't install properly, whereas some from other developers will work.
I guess part of fixing it will be to root the phone, but Superoneclick says it is already rooted. This has made a great phone pretty useless. Help!!!!
Also, to double check, does anybody know a reliable source of apk files for things like Google Play as I always seem to get dragged into spammy sites that insist I load other software etc etc.
Hey everybody. I wasn't sure about the right place to sumbit this thread so I went for the General one. I'm having some store-troubles.
I recently got this new device, a generic greek brand. It came without the playstore on it. I tried a lot of ways to make the playstore work on this device but the best state I got it to, is, having it installed on the device but whenever I may try to download an app on it, it will crash. That was no problem me, I mostly needed it to use other apps that just "need" the store to be installed. For my everyday use I shuffled through AmazonAppStore-1mobile-Aptoide n such.
Now the problem I'm facing is with certain free apps that I try to install, the last one being Heroes of O&C. It's a free app on the Google store, but since I can't use it I search on my other stores. Found it on 1mobile,downloaded it, ran it, runs license check and drops me. Found it on aptoide, same deal. That's happened before on other apps I tried to install through these store, and everytime they fail. See, I don't understand how this works. They are all free apps, and they all fail a license check and ask my to BUY the dam app(?). So then I'll have to resort to google, find a legit apk+obb combo out there and download it. But what happens when you want to go online? Some of em won't support it, or even support updates on themselves. By the way i didn't mention it before but the device isn't rooted and I doubt there's a certain way to root this one (nor would i risk it for the time being).
So what I'm finally asking of you are these two things:
1) I want whatever possible way you can think of making the playstore work without having a rooted device
2) perhaps any "more" legit store I haven't found already?
Thanks in advance peeps
Hey guys, so I picked up a China phone and I can't download google play store onto it for some reason. I want to change the system to more of a regular North America Google version like a stock samsung android phone. The phone is Qiku 360 N5S model number 1607-A01. Theres a bunch of Chinese apps and stuff that is useless to me since I can't read it. Thank you in advance for the help guys!
Hi community,
I am too afraid of bricking my phone for googlefier, but I came up with a solution that works at least okayish for me: The ourplay app.
I had to not only set my phone to chinese but I also ended up buying a chinese simcard so I could change my language back to english, but it does work okay. A bit of Google translating is required, and it won't always make sense, but it works alright.
For my fellow Pokemon Go Players: No, it doesn't work for me. I think buying VIP might make it work but my Google Translate's Chinese to English translation is a bit messy. --> If anyone got Pokemon Go to work in Ourplay, please share your secret with me!
I would love to discuss the Ourplay solution with you guys on here.
Hello! Have you tried Googlefier? I'm on .182 firmware and installed it without a problem, it even upgrades google play services from the play store itself. Just skip the part that reminds you the incompatibility with software and see what happens. Otherwise try Aurora Store. Pokemon Go uses a lot the GMS framework and cores app so if you can't install completely the GMS i think it can't function correctly. Sorry for my bad english, i hope this can be useful.
I tried googlefier, but it just didnt work for me. How many tries did it take you to get it to work? Did you try it on a P40?
Yes i've an ANA-NX9 device. At the First try It installed and works perfectly from that day, in android auto works the voice match too! Is your device european? I've bought the device from eBay and It Is a brand TIM, but can't see any TIM app or custom logo in It.
Hi,
I purchased a new phone a Motorola Edge S (hardware SKU XT2125-4), unfortunately it is a China ROM phone which means it didn't come with Google play store. This was side loaded and I am able to install apps from google. But I have SO many issues with this and I am hoping someone has something helpful to actually use this phone
1. When I try to use Google setup a nearby device (to transfer everything over to this phone), it simply can't find my new phone (despite having bluetooth and location on for both phones
2. I can't restore contacts from google drive even though I can connect
3. I downloaded the MAGISK app, however the file browser is unable to install as the app is not allowed. The toggle to trust the app can not be changed.
I am at a loss as to how to actually use this phone as essentially it's useless at the moment. Any help would be appreciated.
It is already running Android Version 11
Baseband version M55_HI20_209.334.01.60R NIO_PVT_SUPERSDS_CUST
Kernel Version 4.19.136-perf+
Build Number RRN31.Q1-20-17-6
I can provide any / all other information if needed
If the solution is to root the phone, I'm ok with that too, but see point 3.
I'm in the same situation. Purchased the XT2125 as well. Got the Google stuff working by side loading the play store, services and framework. However, initially, while everything else was working, the contacts wouldn't sync. After a few hours of searching, finally came across an article which said that I also needed to side load an apk called google contacts sync and give it permission. Contacts started syncing after that. Fast forward a couple of days and a system update later, SMS are delivered with really long delays and outbound ones fail. Google maps crashes constantly and navigation just doesn't work. I don't know what to do with this phone now honestly, since I need Google maps navigation on a regular basis. Have tried reinstalling maps, resetting permissions, clearing cache and data but nothing seems to work. And with the SMS delay, I can't sign on our complete transactions on a lot of apps because the SMS usually arrives after such a delay that the code has expired. Feels like such a waste of money this phone even though it's supposed to be great bang for the buck.
I am hopeful that when they release the Moto G100 (same phone actually), that we will be able to flash it with this ROM to make it usable.

Wait it's like that with motorola too
I thought it's only like that with xiaomi
Seems like even with motorola it doesn't come with google apps if it's a china rom
Though it was only with xiaomi where if it's a china rom it doesn't come with any google apps guess im wrong

Yeah, I think it's being released in a couple of days. Anyway, I did a factory reset and the maps issues sorted out. Had to go through the pain of sideloading google again but the device is being shown as google play certified, but yeah, would be nice to just have the international rom on it.
Were you able to make any headway with your device? I didn't put a sim in mine but the rest of it seems to be working ok, except Youtube Vanced isn't signing in with a google account.
