[Guide] How to install Google Play Store without root - Android General

You can install Google Play Store without root. There is no need to install TWRP or CWM either. We also receive the huge benefit of keeping Play Store and Services and Framework when we OTA. Why? Because they are installed as part of user data instead of injected into system.
In all phones we've tested, Play and all associated data and apps remain after OTA with no reinstall of gapps required.
Just follow this simple guide. Credit to the original thread: Credit link removed by XDA moderators

This should work with most major brand China phones, eg: Meizu M2, Meizu M2 Note, Xiaomi Mi4C, Xiaomi Redmi 3, Xiaomi Redmi Note 3, Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Pro, LeTV 1s X500, and phones such as these which typically have only official CN ROMs, or which have more up to date CN ROMs than the India or Global ROMs.
How to install Google Play, Google Framework, Google Services, Google Play Store without root or twrp or cwm
Download: http://www.mediafire.com/?pka2i87kignp99j
This guide will show you how to install Google Play Services on most any legitimate brand China mobile. Tested so far are the ones in the beginning of this thread, but it should work for many.
The great thing about this is that there's no need to root or install a custom recovery or flash anything.
1. download the .zip from the link above and extract the .apk to your phone
2. Install and run the apk
3. Press the big button in installer apk
4. Click install as each app finishes auto-downloading
5. Make sure to allow permissions for the various components if requested.
6. Google Play will update itself automatically in the background within first few minutes after using it
Doesn't get any easier than this. Enjoy and comment if it's helped you. Regards.
Yes, we're very aware there are other reasons users may wish to root or install custom recovery, but if you just want Play Store, Play Services, Play Framework without the hassle, this guide is for you.

Please let me know,
Amazon kindle fire hd 2012 is also OK?
Thanks.

Xiaomi Mi5 is also OK?

Yes, man. All Xiaomi and should work on all LeTV and all Meizu. No need for root and no need for TWRM CWM custom recovery.

Tried this on Mi4c, so far so good. Chrome, Keep, Contacts running well and syncing.

Thank you for this, but it didn't work 4 me.
it did install all the apks successfully, however the Google Play Services keep crushing
without the Google Play services functioning, Google Play store can't connect to Google servers ans thus can't update the versions...
how can i know what version i need to install for Google Play Services?
I read somewhere that it depends of my Android version, the processor and dpi.
my Android version is 4.4.2 (it is a car multimedia device - the one that comes with Hyundai 2016 models)
I have no idea what is the processor...
I have no idea what's the dpi....

Will this method work on a Chinese Huawei Mate 9 6GB ram+128GB rom?

Wont work on Nokia 6
Hi,
I go the Nokia 6 TA-1000 which has no play services, is there a way i could get it to work on my phone.
The issue is it all installs but play services keeps crashing.

Will this work on Sony Xperia XZ2 Premium?
I've manually downloaded and tried various Google Service apk verions on my Sony Xperia XZ2 Premium (from China), but after installing the services, the Google Services Framework is constantly crashing and doesn't work.
Will this work? is there a way to get it working??
Note that I made a post about it, but it has no replies yet.. It might be nested somewhere that isn't very noticeable.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/xz...lling-google-play-store-t3862495#post78055115
Also.. I'm very sure Google Play Services and all the dependent packages/services are not OS-system level apps.. I mean, lots of phones (released in NA) have Google services installed at root level, so its not possible to modify/remove.. but there's many devices who dont come with it and can be installed separately/manually (without root and custom ROMs, etc) and that makes sense.. right? All the google apps are just, regular apps...?

Question Lenovo phab plus bought from China and not supporting google app store,google service

Dear All,
I bought Lenovo pha plus ( ROM versionis PB1-770N_S000101_160701_PRC ). It has only LenovoStore (in Chinese) to download the apps which really sucks Smiley Sad. It dont have pre-installed any google app. I badly need these google apps because without google maps the mobile is really useless. I have been tried these methods already:
1. Cleared cache in google app store etc and restart mobile.
2. Tried different versions of google app store and google play services.
3. Tried gapps also
Note: For some reason i dont want to root the mobile because firstly i am noob, secondly on the root mobiles our office attendance app dont work.
Bump! Please anyone could suggest. Thanks in advance.
One of the ways is install custom recovery so you can flash the GAPPS.
This is tutorial for installing TWRP in lenovo phab plus. Install TWRP
After that you can download and flash compatible gapps with your device here
You must think to do root on your phone to have super user thene install all google play services including play store ...

Did you ever figure out how to install google play on the phab 2 plus? I'm having the same issue. None of the google apps I've downloaded will work. Plz let me know If you found a way to fix it!
Just download stock rom and install fresh android. All process is very simple.
If you dont find, I will upload again...

is it possible to install GAPPS without a custom recovery?

I have 2 devices (Xiaomi Mi TV 2S 48" and a Xiaomi Mi TV 3 60") and I am having trouble getting GAPPS to install.
I do not have access to a custom recovery and the automated methods I do find fail for me at some stage or other. The odd time I can get it installed, it won't let me access my account.
One time I was able to get it all installed, but then the play store updated and showed a "this version of the Play store is not compatible with your device. Please uninstall updates" (or something similar to that). Uninstalling updates claimed to succeed, but wouldn't actually uninstall.
Factory reset later, I'm stumped. My current plan is:
1 - download PICO GAPPS for the Android version of my device
2 - Extract it to an SD card
3 - install the APK's
4 - move the APK's via terminal emulator to make them system (for the ones that require that permission)
5 - copy the lib files over from the zip
6 - cross fingers and reboot
Now, I am thinking that this should work, but I also don't know much about how the "flash zip" stuff works so I may be opening up a world of pain for myself. Plus side if I kill the android board, I can get a replacement for a lot cheaper than a new TV.
Sorry if I posted this in the wrong section; I did not see a section for "Xiaomi other" or "Xiaomi TV".
Anybody have any experience installing GAPPS manually from a stock ROM?
EDIT: So I did figure this out. There is a tool known as "Google Installer" that will install all of the google tools (and dependancies) including google play. After installing that, you just make google play store a system app and the play store works great.
Bad news - with the latest version of the play store, it will do a check on your device if it should be using the default play store or the leanback version (guessing the check is done by the device name in your account, but I have not verified this). Google installer installs an older version of the regular play store and it will auto-update. If your device requires Leanback and you don't have the leanback version installed, your play store will fail to start indicating you should uninstall updates.

[How To] Installing Play Services on Chinese Honor 9

It seems that the Google Installer that actually work was pulled out from HiApp,
Using other installer like v 4.4.2 from Meizu, or v2, the one that circulate a lot wont work on this phone,
So here's the download link for GMS Installer that will install the Play services properly through recovery
https://yadi.sk/d/LqIsfrqs3Kbz2L
Simply install the app, and press the "One Click Install" and let it auto reboot
Tested & Work on latest B136
Hi, just bought Honor 9 Chinese version. I have 1 question. Is he phone need to be root? Or I can just simply install the apk you provided after turning my phone on the first time? Thank you in advance.

Hi folks, you can refer to my previous Google Play installation experience for Honor 6x with EMUI4 and EMUI5.
I've just bought the Honor 9 in China and can't get this to work. When I try to install the GMS Installer it tells me "The parser did not find any certificates in the installation package." Googling this phrase made me none the wiser.
It then suggests I get the official version from HiApp, but there is of course no official version. I'm on the STF-AL10 model, build B175, EMUI 5.1, Android 7.0

There has been some progress, but not really. I've managed to install the following:
Google Account Manager
Google Calendar Sync
Google Contacts Sync
Google Play Services
Google Play Store
Google Services Framework
But still when I try to open Play Store it tells me to install core GMS packages I was under the impression that Play Services was the same as GMS?

Yes its the same.
You need to update your play services n play store to latest version first,
Download it from apkmirror
Using a chinese version of the GMSInstaller solved it for me. If you have the same problem ie can't install GMSInstaller with error about missing certificates, or error after installation about missing GMS core despite it being installed, try this version of the GMSInstaller:
https://m.box.com/shared_item/https://app.box.com/s/gpuf526astq1omfrqgy6u77fe1qysjj9
It's the very same file but with a Chinese name for all I can tell. Same size, looks, version number etc. But for some reason the only one my phone would accept.

Hi,
I previously installed google services successfully using GMSinstaller when I first got my Honor 9 in August.
Now it is upgraded to B201 and because it always crashes when it comes to google play, I ran GMSinstaller again which asked me to uninstall every google related apps.
I did so but now it is impossible to install google again
GMS installer will only propose me to uninstall previously installed google apps, then reboot.
I tried several "Google Installer" none of them are working.
Any help would be appreciated,
Thanks

i have Nova 2s too.
just download the GMS Installer from the link given by thread starter, and then install it, open the app, and then press the install button and let it reboot, and voila!
you can check if there's an app called Google Play Services installed in your apps list.
next step is download this list from APKMirror.com :
- ConfigUpdater
- Data Transfer Tool
- Google Backup Transport
- Google Calendar Sync
- Android Services Library
- Android Shared Library
- Market Feedback Agent
- Google One Time Init
- Google Partnet Setup
- Google Services Framework
- Google Play Store
make sure to download the version which specific for your android version.
install all of that and reboot, and you're device will ready to go!

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

Can I Flash Gapps over HydrogenOS to Replace the Chinese Incomplete GMS to Pure GMS?

HydrogenOS already have Google Play Services & Google Services Framework in it, but it's a modified version, you just need to install Play Store apk and you can install all app with play store, without unlock bootloader and root. If you root, use magisk hide, you can also download like Netflix with Play Store.
It can nearly fit all your needs, but there are many other problems, mainly about Google features and sometimes network error, because China bans access to Google. All the problems arise when used in China. Whether there are such problems in other countries remains to be confirmed.
The Play Store can't auto update itself
The Play Store open or update app with a forever loading
You can't allow Google Location History
You can't Use Google Map Timeline
Your device can't display on web Google Play
You can't use Google Feed
You can't use "OK Google"
Some apps that rely on Google services sometimes experience network connection errors
......
The HydrogenOS Google Play market will connect to the domain name services.googleapis.cn, which cannot be opened, controlled by the /system/etc/permissions/services.cn.google.xml file (root is required to access
There is a line in the file, <feature name="cn.google.services" />
Someone made Magisk module Unlock CN GMS to solve this problem, by deleting or replacing this file, but it is still not perfect, there will still be a problem of network connection error. Another Magisk module can also help, Location Report Enabler.
You may ask, why not use OxygenOS?
Because in China, HydrogenOS have some useful localization features
Call Recording
NFC bus card
Call attribution
Harassment call interception
......
So, Can i flash GApps package to turn the built-in incomplete Google service into a full version?
Will this affect my subsequent system upgrades? I will upgrade through the full OTA package every time.
Do I need to flash the Gapps package again after each system upgrade?
This way is, use H2OS, import some OOS feature, only needed is pure Gapps.
_______________
There is an opposite way.
Use OOS, import some H2OS feature, the most needed is call recording, see this thread.
But if you are Cyberpunk edition, HydrogenOS is the best.
_______________
I don't find any solutions now, the TWRP is not out, so we can't flash Gapps, totally we have 3 ways to try with h2os.
1. Replace the h2os GMS to oos GMS, very difficult, don't know to replace what, may cause crash.
2. When TWRP comes out, flash Gapps, like Open Gapps, FlameGapps, may cause crash.
3. Use Magisk Gapps, like Weeb Gapps, may cause crash. This thread talked about this.
We discussed this in many places, all advice that don't try the 3 ways, because may cause crash, for a normal user, crash means you may face boot loop or lose data, and have to factory reset.
Still waiting for an expert guy good at flash phones to give a clear way.
Dude. We don't have a TWRP yet. So you can't flash gapps zips. The simplest and the best way would be to download the EU/IN full rom zip, do a local upgrade, then format the data. Your phone will have full GMS and will get updates for the OOS variant you flashed (EU/IN).

But as mentioned in the question, I still need to use some of the characteristics of Hydrogen OS, so I can’t directly change to Oxygen OS.
If 8T TWRP comes out, is the solution I mentioned above feasible?

Same problem here from China. Could install play store,but cantbconnect to my google account. can't install google play services or google services framework, not sure if its because they're the wrong version apks or because hydrogen now comes with a hard blocking on those.
It really sucks because on my 5t I didn't have to, hydrogen allowed google services too provided you use a VPN.
Let me know if you find a solution ! I also would rather not try to flash another is and lost warranty..

Guys, flash oxygen os zip that is higher than an older h2os base. Then install it again with local upgrade, then use the msm h2os tool, that puts it only on one slot. Then, install 11.4.5 ota zip, it reboots to opposite slot and that is the slot oos will be on. Should be oos with the Chinese apps but difference is google installed. I do the opposite to run my normal 8t cyberpunk as oos

It is convenient for you to describe your operation steps in detail, like how to flash oos, what's your oos country version, etc. It is still not clear from the above reply. I think this will help many people, including the problem that OOS can’t use call recording. I am not very good at flashing the phone.
Do these operations do not need to unlock root, can OTA work normally afterwards, and the chinese apps still there, or can normally update these apps?
In addition, can the normal 8T also use all the features of the cyberpunk version?
thks!

What I have done is not for inexperienced users. I am in USA, bought the global 8t. I said the phone is converted so that's why I have oos dialer and apps. Chinese apps I have uninstalled. But I also have Google apps. You can also use Weeb Magisk Gapps or micro G. Both work.

In addition, google and it's associated apps are blocked in china. Facebook, instagram, YouTube, twitter are also blocked.

As i know, HydrogenOS already have google play services & google services framework in it, you just need to install play store and you can install app with play store, it can fit your basic needs, but as my thread said, there are many other problems, because the Hydrogen GMS is not the same as OxygenOS.
After all I managed to update from the original hydrogen on my Chinese model directly to a european oxygen quite easily.
I downloaded the full rom EU version here: https://www.xda-developers.com/oneplus-8t-oxygenos-11-0-4-5-update/amp/
Then moved the downloaded zip file at the root of the phone's internal storage. Entered the phone settings, system, system updates then hit the settings icon displayed in top corner to reach local update.
The downloaded rom shows up here as an update.
Quite easy procedure, no problem accessing play store and adding a Google account after that, provided you already have a VPN app to bypass the usual blocking in China.

Then, install 11.4.5 ota zip, it reboots to opposite slot and that is the slot oos will be on. Should be oos with the Chinese apps but difference is google installed. I do the opposite to run my normal 8t cyberpunk as oos

Can you explain what the point of the 2nd part is? What is the msm h2oos tool?
I suppose it's about two partitions in the phone storage, but is that something already there by default?

Same problem here from China. Could install play store,but cantbconnect to my google account. can't install google play services or google services framework, not sure if its because they're the wrong version apks or because hydrogen now comes with a hard blocking on those.
It really sucks because on my 5t I didn't have to, hydrogen allowed google services too provided you use a VPN.
Let me know if you find a solution ! I also would rather not try to flash another is and lost warranty..

After all I managed to update from the original hydrogen on my Chinese model directly to a european oxygen quite easily.
I downloaded the full rom EU version here: https://www.xda-developers.com/oneplus-8t-oxygenos-11-0-4-5-update/amp/
Then moved the downloaded zip file at the root of the phone's internal storage. Entered the phone settings, system, system updates then hit the settings icon displayed in top corner to reach local update.
The downloaded rom shows up here as an update.
Quite easy procedure, no problem accessing play store and adding a Google account after that, provided you already have a VPN app to bypass the usual blocking in China.

I noticed a few Chinese apps have disappeared such as the default web browser or the one plus market app. I managed to reinstall market through an apk site, didn't get to use the nfc card app you're talking about though. But I think you can always use alipay or we chat for bus payments. Or maybe that nfc app can also be reinstalled from a Chinese app store?

Yes. I downloaded it from here http://m.2265.com/down/5615.html
By the way I do have the "card package" app installed since upgrading to oxygen, is that the same app you were using on hydrogen?
