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

I have a phone, Thl W1 ICS that does not have Play Store installed. Is it possible to install Play Store. I have been trying for a week and the closest I can get is a Server Error screen. If it's not possible lesson learnt, if it can be done could someone tell me how. This is my first Android device so knowledge is limited. Thanks either way Mike
Yes, but you will have to modify your build.prop so it identifies as a supported android device. Find a supported/official android device that has the closest spec to your phone. Also, you will need the google framework (you might as well just flash the ICS gapps from CM, they will work on AOSP roms also)
Yeah, just search the forums. I believe the thread on how to do this is in the Devlopment forums.
Would like to give flashing gapps a try but every post I've read requires Clockwordmod but without play store I am unable to get it as every download site refers back to play store

Many apps dont seem to care as my HP Touchpad shows up with the name cm_tenderloin on Google Play since its unofficial. Its only some games that flag as incompatible. I imagine most other apps just care about Android OS version and processor instruction set (ARM11, ARMv7).

You can try alternative android market's like 1mobile market that might help you find something to help you install the play store

Does anybody know how i can get access to the Google Play Store on a Chinese Samsung 7.7?
Thanks for any help offered
Which Rom are you using?
ICS or JB?
I would try flash JB with odin then re try...
Also if it crashes when open up...
then go settings/app manager/all/google play store and uninstall updates...
it will say it restores origonal factory version...
do this and should open if cant open...
something to do with corrupt files?
Thanks for your suggestion. I am on Android 4.04 ICS
I have been reading up and it appears that Chinese restrictions are preventing the installation of the Google Play Store

Thats funny every year I hear something about China being angry at Google
I dont know whats the problem but maybe they want to restrict what you have access to eg movies,books,games etc...
use vpn connect internet

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

Hi,
I bought a new Xiaomi MiPad 2 64GB Android version but was bit disappointed when I didn't find Google Play Store in it. I tried different suggestion on the internet to install apks manually from various forums (not sure if those apk were legitimate, bit scary now when I think about it) and got play store somehow installed but none of the apps would install. It goes to the stage where you are shown the window with permission the app needs and it fails with a message.
I have restarted the tablet multiple times, tried installing many apps, uninstalled the google installer and reinstalled it but to no avail. Its very disappointing that its so difficult to get google play store on to an Androind tablet!
Has anybody got any suggestions, should I wipe off what Xiaomi provides and get a new ROM in (I haven't done custom ROM installations before)?

I Think You Have To Flash Gapps to Make Playstore Work Mate From Your Recovery ..
As Your Phone is New, You Have To Install A Custom Recovery Like TWRP to Flash Google Apps(GAPPS) ..
Check this link for That ..

ok, thank you
You have to change the Data file system to ext4 and then reflash the OS with TWRP. Helps to have an usbOTG cable and a thumb drive with the os.zip and Supersu.update.zip on it because as soon as you reformat the data file, say goodbye to everything on the device. So backup all your stuff to a pc or what have you first. After that your Google apps will work fine. You can just download Google Services framework5.1-1743759(22), Google Account Manager5.1-1743759, Google Play Services10.0.84(x86+x86_64), and Google Play Store7.3.07 from APK Mirror and go to settings, Autostart and select the three that show up. Restart your device and you are good to go.
1st. I thought I can finally buy and download paid apps from google play if I create and installed the modded app of Play store using Lucky Patcher, so.... I installed and create a modded Playstore using lucky patcher, but then... I'm wrong, It didn't work in that way I want.
2nd. Since I realized that I can't buy paid apps, I want to remove and delete the modded play store remove the patch or whatever the lucky patcher has done to my Google playstore. So what I did.... I uninstalled the Google playstore using lucky patcher then..... BOOM! no more Google Playstore (obviously) :crying: simple as that, but I still have the Google Play Services.
3rd. What I did next believing that this will fix my problem
>>> Search for the possible solutions in google, I searched everything to help me get back the pre-installed/original Google Playstore in my Android Tablet.
Upon searching I saw a solution here from XDA forum someone said that, install updated Google Playstore from the browser. So i did installed it but the problem is: I can't Install apps from google playstore I have downloaded from the browser (Chrome), so what I did next I uninstalled it.
>>> Remove the Root of my Tablet and Factory Reset it........ after that :crying: :crying::crying: I didn't find the playstore obviously It didn't work, It is completely lost, I try to find it in settings > apps...... still no playstore
I've searched and do everything in the internet of what I can do to Fix this , but XDA-Developers is my only choice
Please I'm begging you all to please help me for those who know how to fix this and get back my original Google Playstore

Anyway, fastest solution I can think of is to look around for a custom recovery and flash it. Then look for gapps flashable zip and install it via custom recovery. That should add play store back.

First you need to find out how to install a custom recovery on your device
Second, you should find the gapps.zip file for your specific Android version
Third, flash via your custom recovery and you should be good to go
