How to install the Android Market on the Zen Touch 2

Installing the android market on the Zen Touch 2
All files needed are included in the zip that can be downloaded from the attachment.
Just unzip it to your Zen's SD card.
I got this method to work after messing around with my Zen for most of the night. The steps are what I think made the whole thing work out, but I may have done something else that caused this to work. If you can't get this to work PLEASE post a reply and I will post the whole process that I went through.
1. Install "z4root.1.3.0.apk".
2. Open Z4root and click permanent root, it will take a bit to complete, then it will restart your Zen.
3. Now install "Root Explorer 2.16.apk".
4. Copy the "com.android.vending-1.apk" to your SD card.
5. In Root Explorer the file "com.android.vending-1.apk" and long press it, select copy then navigate to the root directory by pressing the back button until you see a single "/" as the directory at the top under the notifications bar.Then navigate to /system/app, then at the top there should be a button that says "Mount R/W", press it and it should now say Mount R/O, now tap paste at the bottom.
6. Click on the "com.android.vending-1.apk" and tap install. Once it is installed DO NOT OPEN/RUN IT!
7. Restart your Zen and then wait for everything to load up.
8. There should now be an icon for the market in the app drawer. Open it and you should be prompted to add your Google account, type in your Gmail address and password, YouTube or any other Google service you have an account for.
9. You now should have the working android market on you zen touch 2!

tried it
hi Ryan, thanks for the post. Unfortuneatly it didn t work for me . The android market was installed, but when I try to start it, the app asks me if i want to add an account to the device. When i tap "yes" the program just closes. When i tap "no" the same thing happens...any idea what i could do??
Malte

Try This
Hi Malte
Try going to Settings > accounts & sync Settings, then try and add your google account. Then restart your Zen. If that doesn't work try the steps that were added as reply's in this thread I started on this forum: anythingbutipod.com/forum/showthread.php?p=577788#post577788 . Reply back here if this doesn't work.
Ryan

hi,
thanks for your job!
but, I have zen touch 2 with android 2.2.1
the exploit don't work (no error, rebbot ok, but no root in root explorer) and unable to copy com.android.vending-1.apk in /system/app/
And, in my surprise, I'm not possible to connect with simple "adb shell'
To usb disk, ok, but not adb! Is normal?
Sorry for my english.
Remi.

HELP PLEASE!!!! Need a Update.zip file
Hi, I bought a Zen Touch 2 and try to get android market on it, now my device is stock on initial configuration process, I tought I can fix it with an Update.zip file, can some body help me please?

A little light at the end of a dark tunnel
Hope this is the right place to post this. Today is february 21, 2013 as of 11:00 pm est time today, I have market working on a rooted creative zen touch 2, the non gps edition.
Note, I have firmware 2.2.1
What I did:
1) Seeing as how I managed to install market before, but it crashed, I first made sure that all instances of market were uninstalled
2) Backed up all apps with titanium or your favorite backup program
3) Downloaded GoogleServicesFramework.apk (see attatched)
4) copy the googleservicesframework.apk to /system/app let it install
5) Did a factory reset of the zen touch 2 with out wipping the cache
6) restored my backed up apps and verrified that the google services was installed, and I also setup the google account by going into settings- accounts and sync and tapped add account.
7) go into applications under settings, and tap unknown sources
8) once that was done, I nstalled
9) After making sure the com.android.vending-1.apk was in the /system/app directory, I installed it and reboot the touch
10)I downloaded google play version 3.9.17 (see attatched)
11) rebooted the touch, and prayed to the android gods, and launched it. No errorr, no crash, I even managed to install go launcher ex
If you follow this along with the one above, there is no reason why you can't have the android market on a creative zen touch 2 android device. Hope this helps.

[APP][4.0+] APK Safe

APK Safe is an app that saves the APK of apps on your device when they are updated.
Later, you can install one of the saved APK to upgrade/downgrade your app.
How to use it:
Long press an app in the list. The app is selected and you can add more apps in the selection. Press the add button in the action bar, APK safe will saves the APK of the selected apps and each time you update (manually or from a store) one of these apps, the new APK is saved as well.
To change the version of an app (there is a green mark at the left of the card), press it. A popup will list the backup APKs of that app and you can select one of them to replace the currently installed one. If you downgrade and app on android 4.2 and later, the app will uninstall it first.
The app doesn't requires root but if your device is rooted and you activate "Install as root" in the settings, you'll get more features:
Silent install: upgrading/downgrading an app will show a progress bar while installing the app. You don't have to confirm the replacement, validate permissions, ...
On android 4.2 and later, you can downgrade without loosing data (without root, downgrading requires to uninstall first meaning loosing data)
Features:
Automatically save the the APK when an app is installed.
Can uninstall selected app, show informations or open the app on the market (support google play, amazon and samsung)
You can choose the backup folder for the APKs in the settings. If you want to save your APKs on a microSD on android 4.4, you MUST choose the folder /mnt/extSdCard/Android/data/net.cyl.apksafe/files/backup, where /mnt/extSdCard/ is the root of your sd card (the name maybe different on your system).

[ALTERNATIVE][HOW-TO] Workaround GAPPS installation

Before i begin with this tutorial full credit of for the files of this tutorial go to Twilight glass: https://bbs.nubia.cn/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=1397112
Welcome to my alternative guide to installing GAPPS on the nubia x. This tutorial is only for people who are having issues with Teeemoo's method of installing GAPPS or for people who to want to have a more up to date version of GAPPS. Im sure most people have already seen Teeemoo's tutorial but for anyone who hasn't, it shows how to root and install GAPPS.
Once again keep in mind this is a workaround and should not be the official way in how to do it, keep your eyes on the Chinese forums if your waiting for updates on twrp and GAPPS. Im not taking any responsibility if anything goes horribly wrong
Teeemoo's: https://forum.xda-developers.com/nubia-x/how-to/how-to-gapps-nubia-x-t3878441
Like Teeemoo's tutorial this requires root, as i don't believe there is any method to install GAPPS without root. I can help with the basics on getting root on the nubia x but if you need a tutorial Teeemoo's tutorial is your best bet and if your still having issues Twilight glass's root tutorial will help, as long as you use google translate.
Now if your all ready we'll begin.
There is this text tutorial but if you are having issues I've uploaded a video to my mega drive (it is the same place as all the other files)
STEP 1: Download the Google folder from the mega link(DOWNLOAD AT THE BOTTOM OF THE PAGE)
STEP 2: Move the files to downloads folder if there not already there.
STEP 3: Install Root Explorer (DOWNLOAD ON MEGA)
STEP 4: Open Root Manager and copy the 4 google folders from downloads to /system/prive-app
STEP 5: Now go to /system/prive-app and select the 4 google folders and select the 3 dots at the top right of the app, then select permission settings.
STEP 6: Enter the octal 0755 and check both options at the bottom (apply to all folders and subfolders, not to subfolders).
STEP 7: Once you have confined these options restart your phone straight away.
STEP 8; IMPORTANT STEP FOR ANYONE WHO IS HAVING DATA ISSUES WITH APPS LIKE GOOGLE PLAY AND YOU TUBE.
Make sure when you open the google play store and login in to your google account with moblie data enabled not wifi (this is important) if you want to be able to use google play and other google apps on data reliably
GOOGLE FILES DOWNLOAD: https://mega.nz/#F!8poGlAqL!lJv5HZaa_iT-mMTWJhk7Hw
This is it for the Google play install for anyone having issues feel free to leave a comment and ill try to get back to you. And once again full credit for the files goes to Twilight glass.
Thanks for reading if this helped please feel free to leave a like.

Contact sync is still bugged I think cause of how the Nubia software is correct me if I’m wrong however the download issue can be fixed by downloading permission manager and enabling all the permissions needed

I know that it’s not easy and it needs patience and repetition, yeah never give up guys do it again and again until you get it ????

Thank you.
Two questions:
1: the older method (from that Spanish video) worked for me. And even though there are error messages the first time I open any Google app, simply turning off the notification will stop it from popping up again. So I've been doing that with no real issues. Does the new method bring any other benefit other than "no need to even mute the notification the first time"?
2: do you know the risk level of these methods? Like are we opening up a major hole in our phone or Google account for potential dangers? Sorry if this is a dumb question. I am still paranoid about using my real Google account through these methods.

the link doesn't work

M still not clear, can some one explain again for Huawei Mate XS please!!

Even after installing mod2, last step - still notifications keep coming!

can someone else confirm this method works ? I tried and still get the error messages...
---------- Post added at 07:24 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:02 PM ----------
I watched Gatal video the part where he fast forwards is where I think I keep messing up how much time until the GSM framework re appears ?

The fast forward part is not just simply clicking on the screen, but he did unintall and reinstall the framework, Google play, clear cache, clear data.... Etc

I was able to get GSM fully working, without any error notifications popping up whatsoever.
This is what I did (trying to remember from memory)
DISCLAIMER: I take no responsibility on anything bad happening to your device, this worked for me but might
not work for you! Thank you for understanding, I'm just trying to help others here.
1. Download the LZPlay Backup from here:
https://wetransfer.com/downloads/2d...ff5f170d938bd334e98ba2ce20200330034834/8659bc
2. Move it to a memory stick and connect to your Mate XS through OTG
3. Go to Settings -> System -> Backup -> Huawei Backup -> External Storage -> Choose the USB storage and restore
4. Download and extract this file to e.g. root of your phone:
https://drive.google.com/open?id=1mhS8tDhXf4AUtpfh9--8Dg8-MJgc_OKv
5. Install the Google Account Manager from the zip
6. Go to Settings -> Users and Accounts -> New Account -> Google. Follow the instructions and add your account
7. Install Google Frameworks from the zip
8. Install Device ID app, I used this:
https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/evozi...release/device-id-1-3-0-android-apk-download/
9. Using the App, check if there's anything on the Google Services Framework, if there is, uninstall Google Play Services
10. Install modagain1gsm.apk from the zip
11. Check the ID again using the Device ID add, and close all applications
12. Clear data + cache on Google Services Framework (you can try also uninstalling and reinstalling but my device froze
when I tried to do that)
13. Check ID again and close all applications
14. Uninstall Google Play Services (again, if your device freezes, try first clearing data+cache and force stopping it)
15. Install com.google.android.gms2.apk from the zip
16. Check the ID again
17. Reboot the device
Now after these procedures I was able to install Play Store APK and install all applications normally without any error
notifications popping up.

thanks drfroz ill give it another go tonight.. just to ask does Netflix, Hulu, work ? is there a benefit to keep trying vs just disabling notifications ?
