Can I change from China version to other country version? - Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

All Android phones in China comes without Google Play or any Google services.
It seems the only option is to root and install the google apps, but I was wondering what happens if I change the stock firmware from China to another country (let's say Hong Kong for example) in order to download play store. Any help would be helpful thanks!

Hi KJYap,
You can download the Google Play Apk from the link below: http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google-inc/google-play-store/
Probably a popup comes up that you need to give permission to install the apk..
Check 'Unkown Sources' in the settings and you're good to go
Now you can install all Google apps you want from Google Play.
Hope it helps!

Sorry but that's incorrect, you need to install TWRP and flash gapps to get the framework, otherwise the apps won't work. If you have a 9200 we cant use the regular TWRP and you must use the one linked on the SVA Rom page http://www.studenikin.ru/svarom/svarom_G9200.asp

This is not possible. You cant install the playstore apk like every other apk. You have to copy this apk (and play services) in the system partition and give it the appropriate rights. and for that you need root. And don't flash Gapps to the Stock rom because these are intended for aosp roms.

For installing google play (store) you either need a rooted android or at least a custom recovery. Custom recovery is the easy way as you can flash a "google apps" package. Without root or custom recovery there is NO way to get the play store working if its not pre-installed

Update and install new latest version of google play store

I have ever problem with download apps because my phone is not available Google play store. However, I found solution to this: way to download Google play again. Perhaps, some of you will see it useful.
If you have available Google play, you can update the latest version. Check your version: Google play=> setting, the build number is your current version.
Next, choose a trusted source of apk files for download Google play store APK (choilieng.com). Remember that if you download poor quality apk, they may have tampered with the apk which is bad news. (Note: download on devices or pc and transfer apk to space you‘ll remember)
Setting security to your app: Enable unknown sourced in the settings to install an apk. If disables, your system will prevent users from installing apps from anywhere aside from Google play store: Enter device setting=> security=>unknown sources => ok
Install the Google play store by using file manager: open file browser, navigate to place you put Google play store apk, click on it => click package Installer=> install.
Finally, keep yourself safe by going back and turn unknown sources off: setting=> security settings, privacy settings or application settings=>uncheck the box.
That is all. If you haven’t done this successful, it is better for you to download apk files and install apps like the step 2. Even if your devices are not available Google play or not, you can still download apk files for many installing apps in the future with more android devices.

Google Play Uninstalled Problem

1st. I thought I can finally buy and download paid apps from google play if I create and installed the modded app of Play store using Lucky Patcher, so.... I installed and create a modded Playstore using lucky patcher, but then... I'm wrong, It didn't work in that way I want.
2nd. Since I realized that I can't buy paid apps, I want to remove and delete the modded play store remove the patch or whatever the lucky patcher has done to my Google playstore. So what I did.... I uninstalled the Google playstore using lucky patcher then..... BOOM! no more Google Playstore (obviously) :crying: simple as that, but I still have the Google Play Services.
3rd. What I did next believing that this will fix my problem
>>> Search for the possible solutions in google, I searched everything to help me get back the pre-installed/original Google Playstore in my Android Tablet.
​Upon searching I saw a solution here from XDA forum someone said that, install updated Google Playstore ​from the browser. So i did installed it but the problem is: I can't Install apps from google playstore I have ​downloaded from the browser (Chrome), so what I did next I uninstalled it.
>>> Remove the Root of my Tablet and Factory Reset it........ after that :crying: :crying::crying: I didn't find the playstore obviously It didn't work, It is completely lost, I try to find it in settings > apps...... still no playstore
I've searched and do everything in the internet of what I can do to Fix this , but XDA-Developers is my only choice
Please I'm begging you all to please help me for those who know how to fix this and get back my original Google Playstore

Anyway, fastest solution I can think of is to look around for a custom recovery and flash it. Then look for gapps flashable zip and install it via custom recovery. That should add play store back.

First you need to find out how to install a custom recovery on your device
Second, you should find the gapps.zip file for your specific Android version
Third, flash via your custom recovery and you should be good to go

how to completely degoogle

is there any rom that will completely get rid of google? i tried viper and the play store was still there
i just don't want any gapps
To my knowledge, the only real true way is to root and flash an aosp rom (if available). They usually don't include Google apps unless you flash a gapps zip file. I hope that helps

just delete google play services and playstore manually.
There's a fork of lineage os that removes the google framework. There was an article on xda a bit ago. Anyway, here's the project page (https://lineage.microg.org/) and here's the article (https://www.xda-developers.com/unofficial-lineageos-built-in-microg-avoid-google-services/)

Just download the Google play apk off a trusted site (i.e xda). Then the other apps off Google play.. Unless the update wipes data.. No you do not have to reinstall.
If you do have a system wipe, just keep Google play apk on your ex SD card.
Enjoy

Thanks for you reply, much appreciated, I was wondering however do i need to also install google framework, services etc, as i a have read simply installing play store on a Chinese version is not enough and a number of google installers exist like gms core, however there seems to be a number of people complaining of compatibility problems therefor i was wondering if when my phone comes, i would have major probs installing google apps.
initially i was simply hoping to flash a official stock eu rom, however someone on this forum said that would void warranty, which i was surprised because coming from back to back Samsungs, flashing a stock ROM of another region was not a problem as it was official.
thanks
There I believe if you download those APK.. All that will be included
Like Facebook.. It's all included
You will have to install Google games or other Google related stuff individually... If something is needed Google will tell you, then just go to play and install.
My pleasure to help... Let me know if you need further assistance.
As for honors warranty policy... That's their call, I myself come from a long line of Samsung's.
Yes they are more flash friendly.
Other than that..idk
Good luck cheers
