Is there a way to install stock Sony apps on a custom rom? - Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]

Hi, XDA
so today i installed CM 13 beta for my Sony Xperia T (LT30p)
And i really like the rom but i kinda missed the stock apps like, Music, Album, Video and What's new.
So i went to the Google play store and i know you can download Music from the play store.
So i tried that but it said 'Your device isn't compatible with this version'.
I also tried to download it from the web as an apk but then it said 'this app is not installed'.
and now i'm wondering is there a way to download these Stock Sony apps on my Xperia T?
Thanks for the help XDA!
ps, i also tried downloading Music from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/crossdevice-dev/sony-themes-apps/app-xperia-app-stock-rom-t3263403 and it installed but i couldn't open it. it said: Unfortunately, Music has stopped.

Market Applications in CM 7.1.0 B012

Hi,
Once again i am really thankful to all your efforts in getting Cyanogenmod for Xperia Arc.
I recently upgraded to CM7.1.0 B12. But i am still not able to access all applications in the android market namely, facebook, Go launcher ex, power strip etc...
Can you please address these issues at the earliest...
I don't have access to post comments in Development thread directly, as i am new to this forum. That's the reason i am posting here. Expecting reply from atleast one of you.
Thanks in advance...
Market applications issue
When i tried to download missing application from 'Android Market - WebSite' the model number drop down shows the phone model as 'Sony Ericsson Sony Ericsson xperia Arc'... And then it says this device is not supported for the application...
Also the model number in the mobile shows 'Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc' instead of just 'Xperia Arc' (which was there in the stock rom)... as shown in the attachment...
Please appologize if i am wrong...
I'm not sure. But did you install the Google Apps package in AOR/OR?
Thank you very much for the response.
But i heard that this is the issue with the CM 7.1.0 rom for xperia arc.
I hope that this will be fixed at the earliest.

[Q] No Google Play Store after installing SlimKat 4.6

So, I am on a Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.0 Plus (p6210) running SlimKat 4.6, I love the ROM, but on the SlimKat website it says to do this when you're installing SlimKat "Download the latest SlimKat and latest gapps for your device" which I have both of those. This ROM is perfect, besides the fact that I can't have Google Play Store. Everything seems to be working, but when I install gapps, I don't even get Google Play Store. I have found the Google Play store .apk online, but when I open it, it just crashes Any help will be greatly appreciated! Thanks!
I have had a similar issue on my stock samsung where this happens.
Go to this link you should find the latest google play there to install or just use this store. (PS i commend a good anti virus on your tab this is sort of a black market for android )

[Resolved] Search: special Xperia home.apk

Hello,
I have a rooted Lenovo IdeaTab S6000-L with Android 4.2.2 and tried to get the look&feel from Sony's Xperia Z tablet. I found working "standard-apps" like
Album, Video, Walkman, etc, but the launcher (home.apk) was missing, until I found an .apk wich was said to work only with xperia xposed. Since I kept
no backup and I'm unable to find the correct .apk in Firefox' chronic, I try to find it this way. I don't know, which version it was but I'll try to describe as many
as possible.
1.) the launcher was direct install (no need to put in sys/apk with permissions)
2.) the launcher has no dock and looks like this: h**p://fs5.directupload.net/images/160708/temp/q4976ajx.jpg
3.) the design-button lead to fc
4.) it works in landscape- and portrait-mode.
Does anyone have an idea, which version it could be? i tried different, but they're all with the menu-button in the bottom center...
Thanks for your time and help!
Chris
Got it solved!
During my tryouts to get a working email-apk, xposed was completely deactivated, so no xposed, no Xperia Home...
I use this version: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2289880 and it looks much better than
the stock-launcher.

Can I replace Google Playstore with another version?

Hi. I have read that there is a lot of stuff that can be done with a rooted phone.
I rooted my Galaxy S7 (SM-G930T), Baseband version G930TUVS9CSC1, Android version 8.0 (Oreo) with one of the guides I found here.
If I uninstall updates of the Playstore it goes down to version 10. I would like to have version 8 or lower. Is that even possible? Can I uninstall the current Playstore and install the one from Nougat for example? Do I have to replace the Google Play Services app too? Would it still work?
If it can be done, could someone please guide me on how to do it?
Thank you
You can flash any playstore app doesn't matter if you're rooted or not. It will replace the existing play store. No need to flash something else. You can find various versions of play store e.g. here: https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/googl...2-android-apk-download/download/?forcebaseapk
