I've been working on this for a week now. It seems to me that you will have to root your phone if you reaally want google play. I still haven't got it working but there are several dependent apps that you'll need like Google Services Framework and
Google Play services. Some of the dependent apps will need to run as system apps, Well, that's where I am in this puzzle with a sm g5308w.
Let me know if you find the complete answer...

Google Play Services Outside US

Well it look like whenever I go outside US (Mexico) Play Books, Play Movies, and Google Wallet will vanish from my homescreen and will not be available just like the Play Store services(but I already expected that) but if I go with a file manager they are still there but somewhat Google disables them...how can I restore them I really want to see my bought movies...I already tried using a VPN to make them available but only the Google Play Store services will return and install them manually doesn't work either...Please help

1. Root -> a lot easier
2. Use VPN -> try DroidVPN
3. Use Titanium Backup -> defrost those apps (or use patched Wallet, for example)
U can use orbot too in the play store. I use that to get apps to work over here in germany

[Q] Gray wifi bars but still have internet except for google play services

I have my nexus 7 for a year and I have in countered an issue. I was travelling to Switzerland (i am not sure if the following has anything to do with the problem) when I wanted a little extra coins on some apps like subway surfers the apps require "in app purchases" and I had seen a friend get all in app purchases free on iOS so I tried to do the same. I downloaded an app and it asked me to change my timezone to Moscow and so I did. The app did not work. I uninstalled it and came back to Sydney and my WiFi bars are Grey and I can access the internet but I can't access Google play services. I have done some research and a lot of users say I have to make sure my timezones are correct and they are. I have rooted my nexus 7 and am running the latest stock android with the new Google play. Can somebody help this driving me crazy!?

Try clearing the data for play store and Google play services.

I've done that and still nothing. I think I might just restore to factory settings and re root

Do you have root?
If you have root, you can do the following to turn back to blue :
1)Download latest google play store app. and also google services framework.
2)Install the google play app(do not open the app).(warning:- do not install services framework now.)
3)Open root explorer.
4)Go to system/app. find the google framework services.apk and delete it.
5)Copy and paste the downloaded framework services.apk to system/app.
6)Exit the root explorer app and clear all recents.
7)Again open the root explorer and go to system/app and find your google framework services.apk and install it.
8)Exit root explorer and restart the phone.
9)Now go to settings/apps/all.Find the services framework there click on it and first clear the data then force stop the app.
10)Now restart your and bingo! your wifi is in blue and you can connect google+.
11)If not working then there may be a problem in your wifi router

Roadrover Changan S model root/unlock?

Hey, i've recently got my new ford fiesta with the above android headunit installed.
The unit is locked and without a google play. The advanced options are blocked and i was wondering if the device can be rooted or unlocked? I found little to no information on the subject.
Thanks!
if you have any app that wants you to rate it on google play you can use it to get the playstore installed and then via browser link get google play services. from there you'll be fine

Lack of google play in ZTE Market

hello after reset the phone I noticed that there is no google play store in zte market, so i had to install it on my own from web sources. what is curious google play services were already preinstalled on the phone, as well as installing Play Store was like updating it, but without it the app coudln't be found anywhere on the phone
so any idea what happened to Google Play, and if it is safe to install it from web sorcues, this time it was xda-dev.

im afraid there is no Play Store there, in any of the categories
https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google-inc/google-play-store/
Pick the right version
It was there before. Since I took new updates of zte market, it isn't there. Not any of Gapps. I used to always install it from there.

Lol it's obviously safe as long as it's APKMirror or xda labs, or places like that.
When I used MiFavor 5 for the first time there was a version of Play Services installed there, but you had to go to Apps and enable it. Also GApps didn't help at all.

It's actually in all GApps versions.

@ BurakSefaSenturk, the Google Play app can not be deleted, so you can try to back up and return to factory reset. If you want to download this APP, the office website would be the better choice.

Yes you can delete the Google Play app if you are rooted. You can delete any app if you are rooted, even the calculator, clock...

How to install Google Play Service to download apps like Gmail, Facebook, Whatsapp...

Hello everyone,
I just purchased a new brand Samsung M30s with its incredible 6Go RAM and 6000mA battery but the problem is that it comes without Google Play Services : no PlayStore, no Chrome, no Gmail :crying: ... and a lot of chinese application which I can't understand. I know that this version is chinese and I already have purchased it from AliExpress from China but now I'm searching for a way to install all the Google Store Apps because actually I'm living in France and not in China.
So I'm asking you for solutions if there's other who had the same issue like me
Thank you in advance.
You can download the APK from the internet and manually install it. I got mine from apkmirror. Search "play store". It seams to work fine for me but let me know if there is any issue.
