Go to opengapps.org and download the correct GApps for your device.
You'll need a custom recovery in order to flash it though.

Hey there could you share your solution, I ran into the same problem
You can download Google apps from here then flash it via clockworkmod.

Flashing via clockwork didnt work for me. you need to download all the apps individually from the market or restore them via titanium back up.
I download them from market.

These are the gapps for CM7. I thought I remembered reading that gapps are NOT compatible across different ROMs....wrong?
As long as market is there you can get to everything else at least.

gapps are gapps. its not restricted to any ROM. but most ROMs do consist of those gapps so its not needed to flash gapps separately.

[Q] Lost Google Play Services by accident and can't get them back

Hi
Stupid me! On my rooted Moto G 1st gen (XT-2032) 4.4.4, I managed to remove the Google Play Services while trying to integrate their update in the Rom via TitaniumBackup. Not the Services are gone, and most of the Google apps will abort immediately with an error.
I have tried something already: I have downloaded Google Play Services 6.1.83 apk (variant 036) and installed it, turned it into a system app, but while Google Keep now launches well, Google Maps or Google Play still immediately abort.
Is there anything I missed? And is there a way to restore the Services correctly without needing to flash a stock firmware on the phone?
Thanks for the help.

Yes I the bootloader is unlocked. Can you please elaborate your method?
Not sure it is the same, but I already installed (not flashed!) this file gappsearly.com/google-apps/google-play-services/summary/31-google-play-services/359-google-play-services.html
Is that what you meant?
Thanks
Try flash with cwm this file

Thanks, I tried and seemed to succeed but in fact, the GPServices are now in an awkward state : The only place where they appear now is in Titanium backup, but stroken-through, and I can't uninstall them from them. And the other Gapps report the services as missing.... It seems I will have to reflash all the same
can you delete play services apk from system?
try again and flash the play services, but its a weird problem :/

[Q] No Google Account

Hi all,
I have an Ainol AX7 Flame tablet and flashed the newest official ROM for it. Now i dont have the possibility to add a Google account and there is no Play Store on the tablet. I searched the Net for info. I found that there are MANY different Google Play Services versions.....but do i need that to add a Google account ? And do i need that to add Google Play store ?
I have downloaded a few Google Play store apps...but they close immideatly if i start the app without errors or FC warning.
Any ideas ????
PS I rather do not want to root or custom ROM....wanna keep it stock.

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

Honor 6 H60-L02 GApps problem

I managed to install EMUI 3.1 with Lollipop over stock recovery (because I could find a any other way).
But now I have problems with flashing GApps.
I installed TWRP, but when I try to install zip, I get this error:
INSTALLATION FAILURE: TK GApps can only be installed on top of an existing
TK GApps installation. Since you are currently using another GApps package, you
will need to wipe (format) your system partition before installing TK GApps.

But, I don't have any GApps currently installed
I managed to install other GApps, Minimal Edition
I have installed gapps through the huawei app store, then disabled that app store and used playstore to update

I did that once, but I had problems with contacts sync
Did you have these problems, or is everything good?

everything seems good, I remember I had to install Google Contacts separately from the huawei app store.
to recap: i have installed play store AND google contacts to sync them. then gapps from playstore.
just search for "Google" in the huawei app store and it will find something like a "collection" (which is like all the apps from that developer). in that "collection" you'll find the contact sync app.
Italian website I've read to solve the problem: http://gizchina.it/2014/10/come-sin...oogle-su-huawei-honor-6-e-ascend-p7-dual-sim/
No need to know Italian, just look at the 2 images. Or if you want you can use google translate

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/)
