How to downgrade google play store? - Moto G5S Questions & Answers

Hello,
i am trying to downgrade my google play store to version 12.6.85 or below i am on 14.1.76, and i have troubles. That is, im not sure what version is correct one for my moto G5S. When i try to install older play services i get error message saying " could not install, file is corrupt" or something like that.... seems like i did not get the correct version for my phone.
I am trying to download older versions from this site https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google-inc/google-play-services/google-play-services-12-6-85-release/
Im pretty sure (using droid info) that my device is : armv7l / android 7.1.2 liniage / 390 dpi
And i cant find any match for old play store that fit my device specs.
Purpose of this downgrade is because i am trying to "spoof" pokemon go with this device and in order to do so one of the steps is to downgrade google play to below 12.6.85.
Help is much apreciated , thank you very much in advance!

[Q] Get Google Play into Chinese Tab 3 10.1 (GT-P5210) from Linux

Good day to you ladies and gentlemen. I will get straight to the point:
I recently purchased a Galaxy Tab 3 10.1 (GT-P5210) in China, and it comes with no Google Play.
I have tried installing the apks for Google Services Framework and Google Play, but as soon as I try to add my Google account (as requested by Google Play on first run), I get the "Unable to establish a reliable connection" to Google servers error. If I try to create an account from the settings panel, the settings program stops working. Google Services Framework also likes to crash seemingly at random.
I have tried getting a western firmware into it, but since I do not have a Windows box, and I haven't been able to get Odin to work on Virtual Box, no such luck. Heimdall doesn't seem to properly communicate with the tablet. Is there a way to do "Odin work" with adb and company?
So that's two questions, but what I would really like to ask is: what are my options? I just want my Google Play account on this beautiful tablet.
On a related note, how is the work on rooting the GT-P5210 coming along? Is there anything I can do to help? I have experience as a developer in general (not Android specific though), and I would be glad to help.
Thank you all for reading through this post
EDIT: I also couldn't find any custom recoveries for the Tab 3, are there none? That way I would be able to install a gapps .zip, maybe...
I finally solved this on my own. Anyone facing a similar situation, follow this and you will be signing in to google in no time: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=44615378#post44615378
Galaxy Tab 3 from Chna
Hello tjohnman,
I also buyed last week a galaxy tab 3 10.1 here in china and have the same problem.
I have already rooted the tab and also found some how to´s for installing the google framework
and the app store for example
worlwideweb.androidpit.de/de/android/forum/thread/413743/Android-Market-Auf-X2-G
, but it works only more or less. Some of the google apps are running now but the most important
the google play store still didn´t run.
Maybe I only take the wrong software or I don´t know.
Can you tell me what exactly you have done to install the play store???
My Tab is:
GT-p5200
Android Vers. 4.2.2
Kernel 3.4.34-1216049
Has somebody a good idea or can tell me which software I have to use.
Thx for your hepl.
Solved the problem

Solved the problem by myself! But still is for me not clear how I can now which gapps-jb-xxx is the right one for my system.
Only with testing it was possible to find the solution.
Has anybody a good idea?

[Q] Specific and Urgent Query regarding App Updates via

Hi guys, I hope someone can help me with my stated query
I recently installed aptoide because I wanted to update an older version of KICK by Samsung (it's unavailable in my country on the Play Store) and found its possible through aptoide, I want to know if I update an app that is currently unavailable for my device due to region locks and the like, when a newer version is available, will I be able to update from the Play Store or have I lost that right by updating through aptoide?
Please answer as I need to know, I've updated many Google apps from aptoide as it currently isn't available in my country(ZA) and I don't want to lose Play Store functionality.
Thanks in advance to anyone who has the slightest idea on the matter

For me as you have not installed an application through the Play store it will not offer you any upgrade for this application but it will carry on offering updates for the applications installed through the play store.
But in another hand Aptoide will offer updtes for the applications it has installed.

what should i do
should I use another xda? if so can u send me the download link
thank you
EXACTLY as HERE!
You have saved Me typing pretty much word for word what was in my thoughts.
Can I also ask;
is it necessary for us to install a different security patch ? Does this change the user keys?
will it be more straight forward to go the Rooting method as these "brand new" but obviously already tampered with Chinese phones running westernized Marshmallow have no warranty from Motorola anyway.
I have no rooting experience but quite a few years with PC's.
try to reflash the stock rom
no answers ?
Apparently Not....

Just install Google Play Store apk on your phone. Get it from Apk Mirrow, what you more need is already installed in chinese rom.
Set up a Goole account and then you can download and install the google apk you want to have.
About keyboard, install G-board from Play.
You can also install an EU-rom on a Chinese RM5G (unlock bootloader a s o), you find guides in XDA RM5G where you are now.

Just the Google store thing -_- drive me mad

I just got my new huawei matepad pro
As any human I just open the box and start update the OS to the last update
Then I got that big problem in the store thing
I tried so many ways to solved but still nothing
I am now in 10.1.181
My base software is : MRX-LGRP2-OVS 10.1.181
And I am really start to think about dump this tablet becouse of this Google store problem
So please till me how can I fix it
At the moment the only thing you can do is to install Google Services with googlefier. For this you need to downgrade your MatePad to version 10.1.0.120. After downgrading you can install all the google services.
Googlefier lets you easily install Google apps on Huawei and Honor devices (xda-developers.com)
