So I just found out Google disabled devices running Android 2.3.7 and older to use Google accounts out of security reasons (at least according to them). Is it possible to bypass it? Thanks.
Use a custom ROM which had a newer version of Android. If your device is running 2.3, then you'd probably be able to find a 4.4 Rom, if your device is, for say, a samsung

well the lg l3 e400 only has 384mb of ram, so i dont think its possible to even operate it with android 4 + google play functionality. This is coming from someone who tried android 5+google play on a samsung s1 (only 500mb ram), let me tell you, it worked well without google play installed, but once i installed it, it was sluggish and i couldnt manage to sign in.
if you still want to try, you can find many android 4.0-4.1.2 roms here:
Optimus L3, L5, L7 Android Development
Android development for the Optimus L3, L5, L7
forum.xda-developers.com
find whichever one works the best for you (has the least bugs and best performance)

basically means that theyve stopped google services support for android 2.3.6 and lower.
and tbf, why not?
the minimum api for newer apps has become android 6, meaning if your phone is older than android 6 (or in some cases, 5), it wont be able to support any app updates.
So basically, devices on android 4.4 and lower may still be able to sign in, but you wont be able to use/update quite a wide range of apps (e.g. youtube).

Hello, I have a SPRD Galaxy S4, a S4 clone.
I just wanted to know something, it says I have Android 4.4.2 JB, but when I go on Antutu it says Android SDK version 2.3
What does this mean?

No, it doesn't appear on the play store.
So I guess I'm running 2.3. Just when I go on About phone it says android version 4.2.2
Is there any way I can install Cyanogenmod on this phone?
Thanks.

i doubt anyone has made cyanogenmod specifically for your clone device, only Very popular clones get roms.

You could try to flash the chinese firmware. No google apps there, and not Android One neither.
Question is, why would you even buy an Android One device if you don't like google apps?
It's basically made by google together with Moto, both software wise and hardware wise.

There's lots of exynos devices running custom roms so I don't know what you're talking about.
It's mostly samsung snapdraon devices that lacks development cause their bootloader is locked for most US carriers while european exynos models can be unlocked.
Hello, is there any stock Android without Google services that I can flash on a Nokia 5.3? Something like Lineage OS maybe? Unfortunately I haven't found a suitable version for me. Or is there a universal version?
I am also waiting for LineageOS for #nokia5.3. So, I just removed some of the google thing in my phone using ADB.

I just like the old simple style of older android verisons. I only text, call and browse via mobile web browser on my phone so I don't need much in terms of apps. Is it even possible to run such old android version anymore? Is there a rom of an older version that is still maintained?
With regards to non-Google devices updates get provided by OEM/carrier, if ever. Hence ask OEM/carrier this question.
IMHO there is no need to upgrade your mobile if the apps you run don't require a higher Android version.

I still have a S4+ on Kitkat, don't use it but the OS operates fine except for gmaps which probably more a needed OS reload issue.
Lol, gmaps never runs "fine".
Hello everyone, my friend has this phone (Honor magic V and I would love to know if is it possible to port a rom from another phone with the same soc to this one, I once have ported rom from Mediatek to another Mediatek device but I have never tried porting on Snapdragon based device, can someone please enlighten me?
The main reason for this is to get Google services working on this device as I have searched everywhere for the way to install Google apps to no avail
Anyone?
To the best of my knowledge, it's not possible to install Google Play Services on that phone.

I have honor magic vs (chinese version sadly) its still on android 12 magic os 7 and cant install play store but for sure global rom(magic os 7.1 ) has gms integration possible. Now the problem is if chinese devices will get an update based on removal of global restrictions or not. chinese people don't use google for obvious reasons.
ping me if you have any update. I am also trying my seller to get international rom for mine.

I will, but I am losing hope as no one is willing to guide me on how it's done (the porting stuff) on snapdragon based soc, I have been doing it on mediatek but I am totally new to this snapdragon world
