[APP][2.3+] Basic Google Apps!

>> Admins please move this thread if it's in the wrong place. <<
This thread is for you if you flashed a custom ROM and the Google play store and services aren't installed. Please note that this is a fail safe method for getting Play and Play Services if PA Gapps doesn't work for you. If PA Gapps doesn't work please try Cyanogenmod gapps. For Cyanogenmod, CM 12 is for 5.0+ and CM 11 is for 4.4.x.
Also, with Cyanogenmod "only apps which are required to provide the basic Google frameworks are supplied to reduce the download size." You simply need to push the package via ADB and then boot into recovery and install the zip. You can also download the zip directly to your phone.
If neither of the methods above work for your Gapps, then this is where I come in. If your flashed ROM is API 9 (Android 2.3 Gingerbread) or above, this method should work. It also requires some sort of data connection like WiFi or cellular data. Also go to Settings > Security and check "Unknown sources." to allow installation of APKs from sources other than Google Play. You can turn this off when we're done. Directly on your device, first download Google Play Services. Now go to your download manager on your phone. If your phone doesn't have one, tap on the notification. Once that's installed, install Google Play. You can also go here to make sure that you get the lastest version of Google Play, but I'll do my best to update it myself.
Once you have both Google Play and Google Play Services installed, you can go about your app downloading and be on your merry way.

[Q] How to install Google Play Store in UBISLATE 7C+ Tablet (4.2.2) ?

Dear Friends,
1st of all, I apologize if I posted this question in a wrong category. I am new to this forum.
I bought a UBISLATE 7C+ Tablet
Model: DW-UBT7CE+
Android Version: 4.2.2
Linux Kernel: 3.4.39 (20140523)​
Full specification -
valid.canardpc.com/a/bu67z6
I think it is already Rooted.
When I try to install the Google Play Store using APK file from apkmirror.com or mobogenie.com, it gets downloaded.
Then it asks to update the Google Play Service, when it gets downloaded and installed, as soon it gets executed, it shows error message - " Google Play Service Stopped working".... everytime.
Same thing happens with updating Google Maps.
Same thing happens with installing YouTube App.
My primary requirement is to install the YouTube App and updated Google Maps app.
Please suggest what to do?

So what are you doing. You are installing the wrong version of the apk which may be incompatible. With your device, it may cause damage to the phone
I recommend you to download the apk from the play store since it has the apk made for your device
Hit thanks if helped

[Completed] Custom Device Needs Play Store (4.2.2)

Hey guys,
First off wanted to say thanks for having a special forum for people like me who don't really know what we're doing
I've got a custom-built device running stock 4.2.2. I'm unable to access bootloader, so I can't install a gapps package, but I need to install the Play Store and Play Services.
I've got Play Store installed, but i'ts not working due to lack of Play Services. Whenever I try to install the Play Services APK, I get the parsing error.
The normal fix for this, from what I've seen, is to put the apk in Drive, but since I don't have Services, I can't log into GMail or Drive, both of which I've installed with their respective APK files.
I can't mount a USB stick because the device doesn't support OTG.
Any ideas?

Been googling for play store and services APKs, I just can't figure out which I should use for 4.2.2.
It's not a custom ROM; stock 4.2.2. I have no access to bootloader, no way to install recovery.

Hi
Thanks for writing to us at XDA Assist. Have you tried looking at apkmirror.com? They have every version of those apps available for download.

Google play crash with CM12 on OPO

Hi all,
I updated my OPO to CM12 and the google play services can't be updated leading to the notorius battery drain plus several other issues.
It's all stock, less than 1 month old unit, what can I do?
The previous version, CM11 was great, the current YNG1TAS17L is creating only problems.
Please help.

Head into settings > apps > google play services > clear data.
After that head down to apkmirror.com and download Google Play Services and manually update the app.
This should fix the systemupdate service bug on the older version of Google Play Services

I have gone back to previous version.
Try this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=psvtQB7NizI. I have had to use it several times and still have the trouble. Best case is factory wipe and reload from Google app.

Thanks for your message!
I can't access google play app crashes and I can't upgrade the app via the google play webpage.
I downloaded the latest version of the google play services (it appears to be the same version I already have installed) but I can't clear the data of that app (there is no clear data button just clear cache).
In order to install the apk, all I have to do is select it with a file explorer app (provided I have set the option of allowing the install of non google play apps?
Thanks,
Marc

If Google Play FC, head into settings > apps > Google Play > click clear data and force close
To clear data of Google Play Services, head into settings > apps > Google Play Services > (I think is) manage storage and it'll bring you into Google Play Services app, scroll to the bottom and click clear data. After that, force stop and uninstall any updates you may have for the app.
To manually update/install an app, use a file manager and head into the directory where you downloaded the app and just click on it and package installer will do the job it needs to do

hi all,
**EDIT** 20/10/15
So I wiped my phone again - cache and system. Flashed "cm-12-20150901-SNAPSHOT-YNG4NAO253-bacon" and "gapps-lp-20141212-signed" annnnnd it all works!
I still don't understand the cause of any of my troubles and I haven't tried doing this with CM 12.1 because stagefright is still an issue?
I cannot get Google Play services to function properly on my OnePlus one- have tried Factory resets, installing from a backup, Stock, CWM and TWRP recoveries. installing from apk hosting sites. clearing cache and all data in settings>apps>google blah blah, hoping someone can help me.
- several months ago i flashed TWRP as my new recovery and then flashed SuperSU and I have enjoyed this set up ever since as I love using the app AllStream which requires root access.
- after putting off updating my phone since doing this, I finally decided to update the other day...
- I downloaded the CM12.1 .zip , moved it onto my phone, booted it into recovery and flashed the bastard (figured everything was going smoothly at this point).
- When my phone booted up I figured I would download the Google Play store from the built in browser, and then download all my apps through that, BUT when I logged into my google account the play store said all my apps were already installed???
I downloaded some apps from some apk hosting websites and installed them (allstream,facebook,snapchat and a couple others) they all worked fine.
When I downloaded Google Play services Version: 8.2.99 (8299240) for Android 5.0+ (Lollipop, API 21) from apkmirror.com it installed and then gave me the error "unfortunately google play services has stopped"
every 3 seconds or so.
I have tried flashing Stock, CWM, Philz and TWRP recoveries, doing a factory reset and then flashing the CM12.1.zip. get the error in all cases.
I have tried clearing cache and all app data in phone settings>apps>google PS>clear cache/delete data
I have not had Privacy Guard running ever (some forums have suggested this can cause issues).
**EDIT** 19/10/15
I've realized since posting that I have had Privacy Guard running (i had thought it was a separate app).
I have since experimented with different settings within Privacy guard such as turning the "wake up" and "keep awake" options on or off - no success
No idea what to do now, have I done something obvious? What else can I try? What other information should I provide to help diagnosis?

Hello,
You may visit this here
Also, since are using an emulator you should keep in mind that emulator doesn't support Google Play Services by default. What you can do is download and install Google APIs from SDK Manager then create a new device in emulator using the Google APIs as target.
