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...

Zenfone 3 CN Google play missing

Hi, i have a zefone3 china variant Z012DE which lacks google apps package. Is there a way to get gapps installed ? Thanks.

Android phones sold in the Mainland of China has no Google Apps by default as Google is blocked there. You may search for something like "Google services installer" to install Google services back. Hope this could help you.

Google installer gives error google play services not compatible with this device, it gives constant pop force close. Is there anyone who could add Google Play to Zenfone 3 China Z012DE with or without root ?

Problem with Axon 7 (Chinese 4GB RAM, 128GB) Update B13

Hi all,
I have been using this phone for a couple of months. I installed the Google services and Play store using this MIUI 8 Google installer which has been floating around the internet. My Google Play Store is up to date.
I have been quite happy with the phone except for the following issues:
(i) When I install larger files over Google Play Store, it will crash when the download is finishing. It will pop an error message saying "Unfortunately, Google Play Store has stopped", and I am unable to get the downloads to work. The next few attempts at opening the Play Store will show the same message, but it will eventually open, but the download will fail.
(ii) Connectivity - 3G / 4G. My previous phones, Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 and Samsung Note 4 had no such issues. They were able to connect to the network and not get dropped frequently. This affects me when I play games, and I will have lost connectivity time to time (even when in the open). I checked the network bands and my country's bands (Singapore) are compatible.
(iii) GPS - I had been playing Pokemon GO / Ingress. It does get very annoying when the messages "GPS not found" keeps popping up, especially when indoors. One soft fix is to turn Wifi on and off. I am not sure why this fix works, but I had already enabled wifi scanning even when wifi is not on.
Does anyone else here have these issues? If so, do you have any fix for them?
Thank you everyone in advance.

I suggest to you to download playstroe.apk from the internet instead of the installer of the miui..its not install the updated version of the play store..and dont forget to able playstore to run in the background in the assist manager and download google service.apk if you need more help or something talk to me

Thank you for your prompt response!
I can try reinstalling Play Store. I checked the version and it is exactly the same one as my Samsung Note 4 (which had been recently updated). There are also quite a few versions floating around and I am unsure of which one to install. As it stands, I think I will reinstall the exact same version and see how it goes. I had also installed Google Services.
But thank you for the reminder - I had already added the Play Store to my protected list for it to run in the background, but the problem still persists.

Been looking at APK mirror, and there are too many versions of Play Store.
May I check which one should be the version I should be installing?
Edit: I installed the latest versions of Play Store and Play Services from apkmirror, and the large downloads still failed.

I checked, and my Google Play store is updated by the ZTEMarket, so I assume the version is fine.
Has anyone else experienced such issues before?

Yep, I've gotten to 98% before on a 1gb file to have "Playstore has stopped" error... Very frustrating...

Ive finally manbded to install B013 - its loaded fine. Now I have a message saying "To start Android, enter your password".
I've never previously had to enter a password - I bought the phone from Ali Express.
How do you get past this ? Is there a generic password ? HELP PLEASE !!!

I installed my B13 update OTA and didn't experience the password issue, but I see that you already resolved that problem (in another thread).
I still can't get my phone to download larger files over Google Play Store and it's getting very annoying. Anything which requires WiFi to download seems to have this issue.
Anyone knows any solution to this?
EDIT: I found the solution.
Go to Apps > Google Play Store > Permissions. You will see that the Permissions for Storage is UNCHECKED. It looks like when Google Play Store is installed, it comes unchecked by default. Hopefully this will be helpful for anyone experiencing this issue.

Problems Google services, play store Axon 7 version B13
Before I had version B10 and the play store and other GOOGLE applications worked perfect, but after upgrading to version B13, the GOOGLE services that had possibly been installed by the store of aliexpress where I bought, since the google services did not originally come in the smartphones Manufactured in China, have disappeared, and even though I have reinstalled, they do not work, standing in the "checking data" field, it seems that this version is incompatible with google play services!
Anyone know how to fix this?

problem google play services
I still have not solved the problem, because when I open the play store, it keeps the message "checking data" and does not leave this message and the options of permissions are all marked "on"
Is there any specific version of google services for this model axon 7 version B13, or should any one work?

I had exactly the same as you. Purchased from Ali express. Update to build b013, if you get a password message just perform a factory reset. To install Google play store, go to the zte market (Chinese version of play store). Even though it's in Chinese it's easy to type in Google play into search then simply install. Sorted. After that works without any problems

Here you go

google play running

I entered the ZTE store and installed GOOGLE INSTALLER, which should be the installer of some tools needed to run Google services, because soon after installing it, the play store and other services like gmail, started to work, so I think it was Something that was missing to work and now is perfect!

This app shows that Google Service is ok but Google Framework is not installed. When I choose Repair, nothing happens. I downloaded and installed Google Services Framework 7.1.1 from apkmirror, but nothing has changed. Do you have Google Framework installed?

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.

Use Open-GApps. http://opengapps.org/

im afraid there is no Play Store there, in any of the categories

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...

Google pay issue

Currently i am using Bs2 China version and play game called Honkai Impact 3. Then, every time i try to top up in game store, i always got:" connection failed, please try again later". Try other game, same issue and i cant buy anything in any game via google pay. Any solution to this shiit problem? Seems like Bs2 has issue with google pay connection, meanwhile i just download game from google store without issue @@
:crying::crying::crying::crying:

I've had no issue with my global version. Does the Chinese version have any issues with other Google services?

I have the same issue but with a bit of a different twist. I play Dragon Nest M SEA and whenever I try to make an in-app purchase it just gets stuck loading. No pop-up dialog box for payments or anything at all.
Not only that but my Google Play Games keeps failing initialization and my Google Maps wont pinpoint my location DESPITE having permissions for location on it set to allowed.
Really starting to bug me.

Have you already installed google pay in your device?If not install google pay and allow all permission for google pay. If already installed then try clearing cache of google pay or reinstalling google pay. I also noticed that today I can't purchase on my BS2 China rom. After installing google pay from play store my problem was solved.
P.S It was a little tricky to run successfully.When you want to buy with gpay, then open gplay and gpay.And then go back with home button.(don't clear from task manager. Let them run in background).Then open the game you want to buy with gpay and buy successfully. If one of them are killed from background running, it won't work.
