How do I install google play services and play store on a moto x style? I bought this in china and it does not have play services. I managed to get other Gapps. I'm not aware about root/flash. Is there a simple method?

@Rotondo: thanks for the quick reply! I've tried tons of apks on apk mirror and tried aptoide, but it keeps saying the same thing. 'Unfortunately google play services has stopped.' I've tried reinstalling , etc. What do you suggest?

if your moto has android 6.0
I think you need root for Google Play services. Google play services requires being a system app and there may be some other library files it requires. Google play services can be updated after it is already a system app but it can't be just installed as one.
I have had similar issues with the kindle fire. I had to root to get play services and the play store on that. Once you root it can be very easy. Just get a g-apps zip and flash it. There is a chance that depending on the model number you might be able to flash an official restore file that already has it but I doubt it.

Thanks for the help! It's been a while, but I got my phone rooted and it seems to be the only way to get Gapps.
Gapp file error
Just wanted to add somewhere so someone might find it that if you run into a "no 5md file found, file is corrupt" thing, you could just search for other recommended gapp file to flash/install on the phone, that's what i learnt from another comment and it worked Also i had to root my phone too to install the google apps.
Excuse me,
I had moto x style and have the same problem,
What should i do step by step?

Unlock the bootloader and flash TWRP, then flash a current Gapps package from opengapps.org
The Unlocking can only be done through Moto's site, and there are a half-dozen tutorials on how to install TWRP and root, take your pick.

Errors
Hey man, this is great for the most part. However I followed your steps and I constantly get service errors no matter what I'm running. Have you gotten these errors to stop? Also have you found anything more about getting the play store to work?
Thanks,
Sean
Google play not working. Gmail is though. I'm using the play store by logging in via the silk browser, but unlike with the nexus 7 I just returned, I can't get the paid versions I've already bought for my Android phone. Im NOT paying rwice for the same apps (ie Poweramp). I like the Kindle overall, don't mind its Amazon overlay, but completely resent their blocking me from using their competitor's app-store. If they want to really go toe 2 toe with Google, let them develop a full new yet redundant operating system that rivals OSX & Android. Guess I'll have to root. Is not like they own every Kindle & we're just renting like the cable box for $10/mo.
These are not the droids you're looking for.
Yeah, I'm unable to get Google Play to work with this method, and it creates a lot of errors with services and wireless connections in the process.
For all of you having problems: did you also download and install google play services as well? I hear thats required for a lot of the gapps to work.
I can confirm the following apps work with signin and sync and so on:
Maps
Keep
Play Music
Youtube
Drive
Chrome Beta
Gmail
I did need to install play services 3.2.66. And i do get random "com.google.android.gapps" crashes even when not using a google app, but it is easily dismissed.
Hmm i see that the google services framework are version 4.0.4-338691, and the google account manager is 4.0.3-239410. Perhaps it would be better to use 4.2.2 versions (if they exist) ?
Anyone seen those around in apk format? (i've only seen them in the gapps packages for cm10.x and i think they need to be repacked, which i do not know how to do...)
check goo.im for gapps packages you need.

That's exactly what i did. But those come in a .zip for flashing on top of a AOSP rom without google stuff. I'm pretty sure you can't just extract the apks and install them (at least not the one i tried). As i mentioned i expect they need to be repacked in proper apk form, which is something i do not know how to do.

Yes, that's would be one way to do it. Or if you go to the web page using your Kindle Silk Browser then you can download directly to your Kindle Fire HDX.

It's simply a zip file containing the files GAPPS use and the command instruction including where to put all the files. At the moment, since there is no root, it's not possible to write some files to the system folder/directory. But for the APK files, if you install them it would put them on the user application space rather than system application space like normal GAPPS do on custom ROM(s). That said, not all the google apps will require those files to be in the system space. So, no worry there. You would simply unzip the file and try to install the apks and move the files to the user space if you can. That's the best you could do for now. I could write a little script file to do that as I did on the Nook HD+. Hence that's the root and GAPPS was done in the Nook HD+ at the beginning. I'm not gonna bother writing any script as I'm still waiting for my 2nd replacement unit. If this thing goes south again, I would just return the device and wait to see if I would get the new 2013 Nexus 7/10. I might even keep my eyes open for those 8inches Windows 8.1 tablet also.
Are notifications and background sync working for Gmail? I've read conflicting reports.
Thanks!

Any more of those annoying FCs? Did you just install the apks and nothing else? Where did you get them from?
I've not tried it for a week or so but ended up just removing the google stuff as it just kept crashing.

No FC at all works fine, all I did was go to Google play, search for the apps, find the version numbers, and downloaded through websites on Google search, Android police have them if I remember rightly, all I did was I stall the apks through es file explorer

When you say latest "services" do you mean Google Services Framework or Google Play Services? What version of each do you have installed?

+1 to @Chief85 question, which one was it @angry english ?
Like the title says, China blocks all google related apps so google play services is non-existent on my phone.
Running Android 4.4.2 and have tried "google installer", and manually installing it with apks with no luck either.
Once I install the APK's such as google play, or google play services, or google accounts, when I try to run them it gives the message "unfortunately google play services has stopped working".
I'm not too sure how to root this phone and if anyone has any ideas that would be great, thanks

this is how i did to get my yotaphone 2 YD206 rooted and it works ok.
I installed "kingroot" app from kingroot.net and follow the instructions , it should be done with a few mins.
Recently I flashed my phone, so it missed all the files on the storage.
Now I want to install google play store back on. Apart using the tool which in Mi store, I used to install few services/apk from google manually.
I have installed the google play services apk, and the google play store icon shows on the phone, but if I click it, it tried to launch and just stopped/crashed. I remember I need some other services as well. But I couldn't remember what they are.
Can anyone remind me what other services I need to install, please?
Thank you.

Try moving com.android.vending-1.apk from DATA/APP to /system/app/ and rename it to "vending.apk".
Also, check if you have all of ththe apk installed on your device:
GoogleServicesFramework.apk
ContactsSyncAdapter.apk
CalendarSyncAdapter.apk
Google Play.apk
Lemme know if it helps. If not, I have but still one solution. Gonna post it later.
Does it have no google play on saled mi2 phone?
google play need play service as core then install play store. and the version should match
This's just a quick guide on how to get the Google Play Store installed on the latest Fire OS 5 for Amazon Fire tablets with no Root, PC or ADB required.
This should work on any Amazon Fire tablet released from 2014 onwards (4th Generation and above) that's running Fire OS 5.X.
NOTE (1): To install the required APKs, you may need a file manager from the Amazon Appstore, I used TOTAL COMMANDER - https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00H4IHJ8M/
With later versions of Fire OS or SILK, you can just tap the download notifications as and when you download the APKs or use SILKs download manager, removing the need for the above file manager.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
NOTE (2): You'll also need to enable 'Apps from Unknown Sources' found under Settings > Security of the Fire OS.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Now simply download the 4 APK files below using the stock web browser, SILK and install them in that same order, then POWER OFF and RESTART your tablet and afterwards open up the Google Play Store and log in with your Google account:
1. Google Account Manager 5.1-1743759
http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google...unt-manager-5-1-1743759-android-apk-download/
2. Google Services Framework 5.1-1743759
http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google...s-framework-5-1-1743759-android-apk-download/
3. Google Play Services 11.5.09 (230-164803921)
https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/googl...s-11-5-09-230-164803921-android-apk-download/
4. Google Play Store 8.3.41.U-all [0] [FP] 170066753
https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/googl...41-u-all-0-fp-170066753-android-apk-download/
In future, the Google Play Store and Google Play Services apps will auto update themselves in the background.

Are those the prerequisites for Google play store? i have android system in my car multimedia. it does not have the google play store in it, and when i tried to install it (only google play store) it won't lunch and crash..

the version of android i have in my car is 4.4.2 - will the above apk version fit? or do i need different version?

Off topic question (does not pertain to device) - you'll need to ask your question elsewhere. And yes, different versions are needed depending on device type, capabilities and Android build.
I had to install latest Play Store version to get it all running on our Kindle Fire (think it's 5th gen). Version recommended above just went back to home screen.
Is there any way to get multiple Google accounts working using this method? I have a couple accounts that I need to have on devices for various reasons.
Excellent work!

Hi, so you can update FireOS. But what about the google framework? Does it get updated automatically? Or if a new versione will be released, do you need to unistall the 4 apk first, and than install a newer version of the 4 apk?
Seems this method is no longer functioning. Applications are not searchable - only the webview application comes up on search results. When I search for my previously downloaded applications, they come up, but state that the administrator has not given me permission to install this item.
Furthermore it is the Google Play store for Work?
Any thoughts? This is happening on 3x Kindle Fire HD 8 devices, all of which worked previously. Running 5.3.1.1.

parsing errors occur for a few different reasons
possibly one of these, but not limited to
app is not compatible with the os version
not much you can do about that other than try an older version of the app
there is a problem with the package installer
try wiping installer app data
some kind of caching error, or another app causing install failure
try a factory reset and/or flash firmware with adb sideload in recovery

Hi everyone,
I am running the FunkyHuawei Android 7.0, EMUI 5.0 version on my MHA-AL00. At the moment I am unable to download any Google Play apps (just says downloading without any progress), or get any data from from Google apps downloaded, e.g. Google Drive, Pushbullet, etc.
Everything seems to be working fine on my Android tablet with 5.1.1 and my friend's phone with 6.0. Please let me know if you guys are experiencing this. Thanks!
are you on WiFi? I experienced similar issue when I was on B165 fw I couldn't download anything using WiFi but after updating to B167 fw is working without any issues on both WiFi and mobile networks.
Make sure you have all permissions enable for google services, framework and play store, auto lunch and secondary lunch also enable. I noticed this can be an issue for google apps.
I experienced this behavior on Google play store with Chinese version. What I normally do is re-start the phone and the contents will bedownloaded instantly afterwards..
