Hi all,
I received a review copy of the WinkPax G1 gaming tablet which includes a gaming controller, that can work alone or as a dock.
This is it: http://www.banggood.com/3-in-1-Winkpax-PAX-G1-MT8783-64-bit-Quad-Core-1200x1920-IPS-Tablet-PC-with-Handheld-Console-Game-p-1103815.html
The problem is, that is comes with a very bare bones Android 5.1. No google Play Services or anything. I have installed Amazon Underground, but it has few apps for it, installed Chrome from apkmirror. But I need the Google Play store.
Any idea how to get it working ? I have installed at least 20 different Google Play Services versions from 6.x forward, and they all crash when starting up.
The device is based on the MT8783, and seems to have a pretty good LTE chipset, 2GB RAM, 32GB flash, and build quality in the better end.
How do I back up the included ROM ? And is there an alternate ROM I can deploy to it ? Or an alternate way to access the Google Play Store ? I have updated ROMs from the PC on an older device, and I do have fairly good tech skills. But I can't really find the info I need.

Hello, community! I recently bought a Chinese tablet and one of the first things I did was to install Google Play and Google Play Services via apk, I also added my Google account. The problem is that after loading for a while it says: 'The application Google Play Store has closed unexpectedly'. The amazing thing is that it pops up a notification that there are updates for my apps! Also the tablet shows up in my Google account as a device. The other applications that require Google Play services (like youtube and google now) run fine. My firmware version is 4.1.1. Also the download manager IS enabled. Any help appreciated. Thanks.

This means that you have purchased a chinese style software configuration tablet. Thanks to encouragement by ccp policies towards google, many manufacturers (would you believe i have in my hands a samsung note 8 that does the same thing!) have stripped out the play store in favor of other alternatives. For me, i am going to root and flash this tablet and forget default aoftware is even something that exists.....
i have a philips ppx3610 beamer with android.
i wanted to try and make use of a few paid/play store-exclusive apps, but it turns out to be quite difficult.
current status:
Philips ppx3610 pico projector
rooted, supersu installed manually.
android version 2.3.1(official firmware)
20110828 g-apps installed in system, play store listed as "market" and seems to function.
my exact problem is that there seems to be no interface for adding accounts on the beamer.
the .apk that's supposed to handle it is included with the original rom, but it doesn't seem to work at all.
settings is a stripped version with no account settings, and if a google app(gmail/market) tries to call the "add google account" screen it jumps straight back to the app drawer.
there are a few difficulties making it a bit risky/difficult to experiment.
no (touch)screen: everything needs to be done with a usb keyboard or ir remote.
no recovery at all(any brick is unbrickable)
incomplete settings
ancient android version
all reset/power options are handled by software, if it freezes it takes an hour to turn it off.
this device is capable of using the play store, but it was only included in review and internal testing models.
does anyone have an idea how i could safely "restore" accounts&sync, or perhaps have another way to get the play store working?

that video doesn't help much.
I can get the play store installed, my ppx3610 just seems to be missing a component required for adding accounts.
without a Google account the play store refuses to do anything.
FW update
Did you try to update to latest FW? On Philips website you can normally download the latest version
With latest FW the missing components should be installed. Then follow the instructions provided by the video
[QUOTE=thedicemaster;55756968]that video doesn't help much.

I already got it working a while ago, but forgot to mention it here.
perhaps I forgot to reboot after my previous attempts.
Google Play Store Latest Version
Well It seems that there is some problem in the version of Google Play Store you have installed it,You can solve this problem by downloading and installing new application of Google Play store,It is quite easy to install a new version of Google Play Store.Just Install and overwrite the already present files.
I'm looking for the firmware update to 2.24 version or newer for ppx3610. Is there someone who has that file?
Hello,
I hope someone can help me with this, an Android device is not what it is supposed to be without the play store.
I received the phone and after starting up the first app I tried to start was the play store, no error message it just closes down emediately. I found out play store can start up as long as there is no internet connection, as soon as I switch on wifi or mobile data play store will shut down without a message, sometimes it gets a split second to load some front page apps but then emediately it shuts down, no message.
I tried all remedies available on internet, including: wiping app data and cache for play store, play services and download manager. I uninstalled and reinstalled the latest versions of play store and play services. I even switched the screen resolution to HD thinking 2k resolution is not supported. Nothing works.
I have now the following versions of play store and services on my phone:
- play store is 6.9.15.G-all {0} 3104571
- play services is 9.6.78 (440-131446183)
The problem is on the Huawei Honor V8 KNT-AL20, which has Android 6.0 (with EMUI 4.1) and a Hisilicon Kirin 955 processor (which I believe is Arm 64 bit). Screen is 2k but can be set to 1080p (which did not solve the problem). Let me know if you need to know more.
I also wonder if there is already any custom roms made for this device. This might also solve the problem, but I can't find any rom anywhere, I found in the process that the Kirin processor somehow makes it difficult to cook custom roms.
I hope somebody can help me, Thank you in advance.
Kind Regards,
Niels

Sorry but thread closed
As many of you know, bliss os 14.3 and it's variants usually have mixed results regarding wifi/BT connectivity, depending on your device(s), which in turn makes it nearly impossible to get the most out of the OS in most cases. I can't say for certain that this is a % fix/workaround, but, I wanted to share with you all in case this helps you get your OS up and going to your liking.
By default, Google play services loops or FC's out of the box. So I went out of my way on a working pc to DL from "apkpure" a current/up to date version of said apk, as well as the Play store, FX viewer and chrome. Then, I put them on a trusty usb, xferred them onto the laptop I use with 14.3 currently and just installed them all without running any of them afterwards. Next, I rebooted and then opened the play store and I was able to log into my account and start updating/installing apps as normal. Hopefully, this helps you all out too because I'm loving my laptop now and I'd be glad to help ya'll out too if I can. If someone can recompile bliss os images properly to include out the box current versions of Google service I'd love to hear from ya.
I also updated all apps but the problem still exists.
Got my OnePlus 9 Pro today, before I start flashing LOS I wanted to ask a couple questions about my Google choices.
Is it possible to not have any Google apps/services on the phone but still have access to the Play Store? I've seen Aurora store mentioned a couple times, but it doesn't seem like it works that well on my current device (searching for apps that I know are there but get no results, etc.). Those apps would likely still rely on Google services and break without them, correct?
Is it possible to use Mozilla's location services instead of Google's?
If no to the above, can I use Google's location services through a proxy?
What are the differences between OpenGApps/MindTheGapps/microG? I'm considering the latter (microG) but it looks like there hasn't been much progress on it and I don't know how functional it will be.
I want as little Google on my phone as possible while still having access to GPS, apps that rely on Google having bare minimum functionality, and privacy. What is the best way to do this?
1. You have access to the web of Play Store. play.google.com
