I need to install APKs, but I don't have a browser or a file explorer on my phone. It's rooted, but hasn't got a custom recovery.
I bought this phone off a private seller, and it's a clone galaxy note 4. It's rooted, but google play doesn't work. It comes up with a gapps error, and every app stays at the 'downloading' stage forever. I don't mind sideloading everything, or sideloading Google play somehow.
I just need a way to install apps. Other suggestions on how to do this are also appreciated.
Try adb.
adb install Name.apk

Hi,
Try to clear cache of Google Play Store, Google Play Services, and Google Services Framework. Remove your Google Account and log in again. If this step didn't work, you can try to download the .apk and install it via ADB.
Hope this helps.

Done all that, but managed to use adb to get chrome on at least. Will try again now, just cause.

I rooted my phone last night using poot and super user. I downloaded a modded google play from pirate bay thinking it was gonna give me free apps. i deleted the google play that was orginally on my phone now i can't get it back. i tried factory reset. i tried downloading a google play apk but everytime i open it after download is crashes. i want to unroot my phone but dont have a usb cord and dont have google play. what do i do?!?!?!
its ok
a lot of times roms do not have a google play apk but now here is what you can do .YOU can search the web ,and install google play 4.0.25 its the new one and it is downloadable as an apk file.JUST tipe downloadandroidrom in your browser and go to apk and then go to market, click on com.android.vending .If you have any problems installing it ,try use a file explorer.

First off, we dont support piracy on xda.
To solve your problem, download a play store in apk format from sites like androidpolice etc. and push it to /system/app with permissions of rw-r-r. You are done.

Ok. Install the app directly. Download another app called link2sd. Grant superuser access. Then open app window. Click on google play. Click on actions button. see options and click "make system app". It will make it system app automatically. Then reboot your phone. If it still FC, use fix permissions option from cwm recovery.

make sure that you also have GoogleServicesFramework.apk and GoogleLoginService.APK. AFAIK you need these two as well to get the play store app to work.
superuser says my binary is outdated. when i go to update it, it crashes saying it has stopped unexpectly. on link2sd all the options under actions is launch manage reinstall unistall. i tried manage and it just took me to application settings. i hope i didnt screw up my phone rooting it last night because i cant do anything on it. google play has got to where i can go in install an app but soon as i hit accept and download it crashes. i did a factory reset last night so poot and superuser are gone. i tried to redownload superuser just now and thats when it said my binary was outdated and when i try to update it, it crashes. is this fixable or is my phone screwed up lol. i really appreciate you helping me!!!

You can disable notifications from superuser app. Also you won't loose root if you factory reset your phone. Superuser app is set as system app when you root it. Also follow what justmpm said above.

You must install the Goggle play compatible with your Android version and your phone.
Please provide the phone model, Android version and if you have a custom recovery or not,
If you are still unable to install playstore apk, i will recommend downloading gapps for your phone model. Flash them from custom recovery using install zip. This should install your playstore. No clue if it can override the pre exisiting apps. Still learning on xda.

I don't think he has a curtom recovery set up. Flashing Gapps would overwrite existing ones, but most gapps packages are configured to abort the installation if some gapps already exist.
Try this app as an alternative

He is already on root, and perhaps if there's nowhere the solution, ome simply can't live without playstore. I will advise full system wipe with data and installing a newer custom recovery and then new rom with new gapps.

Brother sorry we couldn't help you in this case because we don't know how to fix it . One thing you can do is that Google it and you will found some better response for sure
Dude, that is the easiest thing to fix, but if the OP doesn't tell us the phone model and version i wont even bother trying to fix it. OP is inactive anyways...

1) Did you add your google account?
2) Kick start by clear data and cache for playservice and google service framework, reboot phone, once it's up, open your browser to verify internet is working, then reopen play store.

OK,
1) have to try with 4g instead of wifi?
2) so right now your phone is running pure stock ROM with no third party apps on it right? if it's, please try another google account. Remove the old one first, or if you don't have one try to sign into google to see if your account is still good. Do it a few times (login and out).
3)Check the following apps:
google play store 4.5.10
google play service 4.0.34
google sevice framework 4.3.757479
clear cache and data for all of them, then uninstall google play store, reboot phone, wait for it to update, once updated reboot then try again.

Seems like the play store apps are outdated and your phone should update automatically once it's online. You need to side load the apps from here: http://www.mediafire.com/download/20hi0n6b2876080/4510 and 4034.rar unzip then try the 4.0.34 first, reboot, see if update the rest, if still not working install the second one 4.5.10. They are apk, so just install like an app.

Do you have the option to uninstall google play store? if you do, clear data, uninstall, stop the service, then open play see if that work. Usually this issue happened to custom rom only, not stock rom, and also with hyper drive rom, where it left residual to the host file.

OK..let take a step back, it's possible that you need to reflash. Do a factory reset, power off, put into download mode then Odin reflash the full stock factory file. Once it boot up let it sit for 5 min before going through the setup.

Hi
Stupid me! On my rooted Moto G 1st gen (XT-2032) 4.4.4, I managed to remove the Google Play Services while trying to integrate their update in the Rom via TitaniumBackup. Not the Services are gone, and most of the Google apps will abort immediately with an error.
I have tried something already: I have downloaded Google Play Services 6.1.83 apk (variant 036) and installed it, turned it into a system app, but while Google Keep now launches well, Google Maps or Google Play still immediately abort.
Is there anything I missed? And is there a way to restore the Services correctly without needing to flash a stock firmware on the phone?
Thanks for the help.

I initially had the same Problems.
I copy the Calender Sync and Contact Sync in System/App and give Permissions to rw-r-r- and Reboot.
Now it works without Problems.
This only works when the X2 is rooted,whether it comes to install I do not know, but you can try it.
In the Attachmeht is the Download Google Sync Calender and Google Sync Contacts.
Unzip it,when you have root copy it to System/app and give Permission,Reboot and all Google Apps works,
or install without root and test whether it works.
Thanks but I don't want to root it yet. I got the contacts to sync, but I get an error almost every time I try to download from the play store. I think there is some confusion regarding tablet or phone.... Are most people able to download direct from the play store?

Nah, Sorry. You have to download each one. And the Google App has to be gotten from the playstore. Make a backup when you get it the way you want it in twrp.
Or search the Google Installer from Eric,this works
I rebranded my phone to AL10(chinese) which came pre-installed with only three Google apps: Google Play Services, Google Account Manager, Google Services Framework. I installed Play Store manually through an apk. But I'm getting frequent crashes, can't use Google Payment etc. etc.
So, I thought about flashing clean Gapps which might solve these problems and save me from installing the whole bunch of Google Apps. But it gives me error everytime I try to do that:
I thought the size might be the issue so I downloaded the nano version but it gave me the same error.
You need to repair your system partition. You can try that in twrp. Go to wipe. Advanced wipe. System partition. Resize/change file system. Resize file system. SHOULD fix it

Install Play Store through the in built Huawei Market and not through any external APK.
