Everyone keeps telling me that such apk has never been published by Google. Is that so?  I need to put Google Play Store on a Chinese mobile, but I cant root nor flash it with a custom recovery ROM. I wanted to use the Open Gapps zip but all of those require custom recovery. Any ideas?  Thanks a lot in advance!

I have recently installed a custom ROM and cannot find the Play Store. It seems like all apps that belong to Google are missing.  How can I install the Google Apps Package (Play Store, ...) on my Android device?

I have a Storex eZee Tab 702 tablet. My Google Play Store was working very well until a few weeks ago, when it started saying,     Error while retrieving information from server [DF-DFERH-01]   I tried to clear the cache, clear the data, force stop, and downloading another Google Play Store, but I'm still having the same problem.  How can I fix this issue?

I've seen this error a few times just now, it seems to only occur when I install an app through the Google Play web interface. Haven't seen it when installing apps directly from my mobile device. Device is quite new and has more than enough free disk space. Couldn't find anything on here yet about this specific error. After a retry it downloads without any problems, so while it is far from blocking, I do hope to get some insight on what is happening here. StackExchange only lists error 923 as an AndroidRuntime(923) error, but I don't see how that can be the cause here. Screenshot attached with error in Dutch.   Error - 'Game' could not be downloaded due to an error. (923)

I was just wondering, when installing an APK from an unknown source and you click OK to allow Play Protect to block it, is there a way of installing that app without fully disabling Play Protect?  When trying to install the same app after allowing the block, it shows App not installed.

I have a rooted android phone. I am trying to pull the applications from /system/app/. However this simply does not copy the apk. What I have tried.      adb shell     su     cd data     cd app     ls   A lot of applications are shown. However when I try to pull it it says   adb pull /data/app test  pull: building file list... 0 files pulled. 0 files skipped.   When I try to pull it from the system/app it pulls it but no file is created on my computer. I have specified the file name, tried with it and without it. Could someone please tell me what I am doing wrong?  I have also tried it individually with specific apks. But that doesnt work either.

The aftermarket ROM I use seems to have the language list parred down to just a couple selections, probably to save space.  I would like to add a language back into the system. I can already set the locale using programs such as  so that applications with my language support start with the right locale code, however that doesn't add missing system languages. Having the system in another language would be nice, but the main thing is getting the dictionary files for the keyboard auto-complete. How does one go about adding the language support files for an input language to a system or ROM?  I can access other ROM's or the AOSP project to rip things out, but I don't know where to start. What files do I need and what modifications need to be made? Is there an easy way to do this with say a language-pack or is it hackery all the way?  My ROM is fully rooted and I have adb access if necessary. It's Android 2.3.7 () and I'm using the stock Android keyboard. The language I want is Turkish, although unless somebody has a download to point me to it's mostly the process I'm looking for here.

I got my Galaxy S4 today (i337M), it's wayyy better than my old SII hehe.  I immediately removed the stock Bell firmware and put the latest snapshot available from CyanogenMod.  I'm wondering if it's possible to convert apps like S Planner, S Note, S Health to CyanogenMod.  Current stock android version available for i337M is 4.2.2. Latest Android version for CM is 4.4.  If I install CM 4.2, can I import/install the APKs and then upgrade to 4.4?  Hope you'll be able to help me :)

Android Market has just updated an app in my device. I liked the update, but its fully different from last version which was also my favorite. So, I want to keep last version too. I have last version's apk thanks to Titanium Backup. But, I can't install it without replacing current one (Android architecture sucks). Is there any way to do this? Hacks etc.. Note: I want to keep current version which must be connected with Market to receive future updates.

I have an app installed on my phone, which I've installed from the Google Play Store.  If I update the app and don't like the upgraded version, is there a way to undo the update and downgrade back to the version of the app that I had previously installed?  I tried searching a bunch on this site, and I found lots of questions about downgrading the OS/ROM/firmware, but nothing about downgrading app versions or reverting an app update.

I need to run Google Plus, and Google Plus needs the Google Play service.  Every time I install google play service from the Google Play store it fails to install with this error:     Incompatible with other applications(s) using the same shared user ID   What could be the issue? How can I fix this?  UPDATE: I know almost nothing about android, so I dont know what ROM is, or such thing, I get my phone from local production and I guess, yes, it uses custom system, so I just know that I'm using Android Version 4.0.4. any help would be greatly appreciated.

I just upgraded Google+ to 3.6.0.44338848 (released late March 2012) and now it won't launch. It says:     This app won't run without Google Play services, which are missing from your phone.   If I tap "Get Google Play services" I'm brought to Google Play where I tap "install" and "accept and download" but then I get "Error: No connection."  (I do have a connection. I can browse the web just fine.)  Now, I should mention that Market/Play has been odd the whole time, I've had this phone, a T-Mobile myTouch 4G running Android 2.2.1. Whenever I want to install an app, I have to go into Applications, tap Google Play Store, and tap "Uninstall updates" to restore the Market app. Then I can install applications. Over time, some process upgrades Market to Google Play but I can't install applications until I downgrade to Market to avoid the "Error: no connection" message. The processes is frustrating. On my old LG phone (also running 2.2 Google Play worked just fine).  I'm been putting up with all this downgrading because it's not often I install apps and usually there's no problem after installing or upgrading an app.  But now the Google+ app is unusable so I'm motivated to do something about the "No connection" problem.  I've read through posts such as  and Google's help page at  but I'm stuck. Please help.

I have a problem with installing apps from Google Play onto my Samsung Galaxy S Plus phone.  It has Android 2.3.6. Yesterday I tried to download some apps. When I clicked 'Install', the app began to download but when it got to 100% it just disappeared and silently failed to install on my phone :\  I don't have an SD card and up to now I saved all my apps on the phone and had no problems like this. It seems to be some settings problem, but I don't know what to do. any ideas?!

The default account is normal user, and I used it to install Google Play Store APK (to /data). Then Google Play Store was opened using my current user's permissions, and it is used to download and install other APKs to /data. That means I have full access to the /data partition.  Why are file manager apps unable to view that partition without root permissions?

I'm one of those exceptions that deviates from the norm: I run CyanogenMod without any Google apps.   Is it possible to download the Stack Exchange Android app .apk directly?

Right now I have in my phone the stock rom and I haven't rooted it. I want to root it and change the rom.    What should I do first, root or flash the rom? I don't want to lose all the configuration, apps, apps data or files (images, music, videos, etc in the SD). How can I do to be sure to avoid this? I want to make sure I can go back to the stock rom if I need, is there any special thing I should do?   If its relevant, I have a Samsung Galaxy I5510.  Thanks!
