Solutions attempted:
Installed Superuser 3.0.7 from Google Play
Installed BusyBox 7.8.2 from Google Play
Ran BusyBox and installed successfully
I know I can just get the APK from the forums here on XDA, but I'd like to know what I can do to get MarketEnabler to work. Any help would be really appreciated.
What are other people using instead of Market Enabler....
It is really frustrating for me, not living in Canada or in USA.
Anyone find a solution yet? Can't seem to find one anywhere!
Oh this thread is very outdated. It turns out it was working, but Chrome Beta also has another restriction requiring you to have a US-based IP. Alternatively, you can just install any APK you find of the app (there's a few here on XDA) and then go to the Play Store and it'll give you the option of updating, then you can download the app whenever you want.

I have the problem in the title. Of course, all the pre-loaded Google apps do not show in the Markeet downloads and they don't auto-update or show update notifications. I managed to install Youtube, Gmail and a few others by visiting the Market and installing them over the original pre-loaded app (I guess). Now I can find them in Markiet downloads.
The problem I have now is with Google Maps. It's not in the Market downloads, since I never downloaded it from there. But I can't even find it when I search the Market, I can't access any links or barcodes (the result will be "The requested item could not be found"), there seems to be no way for my phone to access a link for downloading Google Maps.
I have the original ROM, no root, and in the Google Maps About section I see "Version: 4.5.1 (#4665) gmm-android-htc". Is it an HTC version of Goole Maps?
What can I do? Do I need an .apk file? Why would this app be forbidden from showing up in Market for my phone? Maybe it's my phone region, but I doesn't make sense.
Any help is appreciated! Thanks!
These are market glitches and iv had times even on rooted phones with the market not showing certain apps that DO exist. What i did was reinstall the Google bundle apps but since your not rooted i am not quite sure what you can do but wait? or maybe a cache clean or a factory reset if all else fails
... or go settings, apps, running, find market, force stop, clear data. God knows if it'l help at all but always worth a shot.

Bingo! Not available in Romania yet I used temproot and MarketEnabler to get it.
Install the one from http://www.mediafire.com/?54mn0zw747vc1sh - I just got it from my phone.
@ddotpatel,aznsnake666 - Tried clear data, clear cache, etc. but it didn't work.
@keinengel - So I guess you have the same problem. Downloaded the file, it works! But I wonder why Google Maps isn't available for Romania?!?!? Thanks!

Yup, same problem. I think we need to gang up on Vodafone and get them to sign an agreement with Google for paid apps - maybe that'll fix it.
Google Maps was pre-installed in my ROM, so looking in the Market I could still see it though it wasn't showing as "Installed".
I simply clicked on "Install" and the new version overwrote the one in my ROM, and it works fine now.
I still don't get it... why is Google Maps availability depentent on region/carrier? It is a free app anyway. And since I paid for my phone which includes Google Maps, I think I should have access to updates too regardless of what country I'm in.
Hi,
First time i try roms on andriod and got it installed without to much hassle.
I have read alot of threads about problems but no one seems to have the same as me. I can use market and gapps installes without hassle through recovery.
I can not find the maps application anywhere. Feels like i have tried everything.
I have installed gmail from market, logged in to talk, installed different version of gapps from recovery.
Anybody has any tips on how to get maps back?
install market enabler, and search for google maps. you are probably in a country where there are some restrictions so choose any carrier from the US and it should work
im also in malaysia, i guess you got it installed this way?
tried market enabler but still did not find maps in market.
will look into this option more when i get off work.
thanks
hmm you should be able to find it, especially if you choose the T mobile carrier signal. i even managed to get it updated via the market with no problems
Hi, I just got myself an HTC One M8 today. Bought it here in Beijing, China, at a China Unicom store. Turns out they call it M8w, but it should, as far as I know, be very similar to the official Asian version (it has a 2.5 GHz CPU and both FDD-LTE and TDD-LTE). Google Play Store was not installed, so I'm trying to get it installed.
I tried installing Google Play Store using the "Google installer" app by Eric Xiang, mostly used for Xiaomi phones, but basically it's an app to download APK files manually and install them.
So far I've gotten Gmail and Google Translate to work without problems after installing it from the Google installer, but Google Play Store fails to start with a message saying "No connection" and a "Retry" button. This is probably because Google Services Framework (a dependency of Play Store) crashes after installation.
Any suggestions on what I should do? Do I need to root and put in a non-Chinese ROM?
Thanks in advance!
For the M8t, there is a easier way for Google Play service (gmail, map... etc),
Just search "GMS安装器" from HTC App store or Baidu App store. Then you are good to go.
For anybody that's interested, I didn't manage to get all Google apps running properly, so several months ago I flashed in this system dump instead. (I unlocked the bootloader and flashed it in using a utility I don't remember the name of, but I will look it up and update this post if I remember it.)
Haven't noticed any issues so far except for that I don't seem to be able to update anything OTA. But I guess that might be normal?

Hi buddies,
1. Do you have any success regarding installig Google apps on Chinese version (M9wp)?
2. May be someone knows how to replace chinese search engine Hidi with google search?
Hi,
Download this GMS from the stock app market (see photo)
Install
Run the app, let it download the package and install it (without SD card)
Reboot the phone
After the reboot I had all the Gapps but most weren't working because the G play services version was not updated,
I downloaded the latest version, installed it than something weird happened, using a VPN of course, I wasn't able to download all the updates of the Gapps while I was able to download any other app from the play store, this for a couple of days while I was looking for a solution, than the third day, without me doing anything I was able to download them and now I have the play store version for all the Gapps and they work
About G search I just put a widget on the home and hid the Chinese hidi
Sent from my HTC M9pw using XDA Free mobile app
Thank you very much for a detailed information.
What do you think will I need vpn anyway while I'm already in Europe now?
( Already solved this issue)
I have installed GMS. After first run also.downloaded 190mb app package and when I'm trying to open app again to install google apps some chinese warning are popping up.
Well since Google is blocked nowhere but China you shouldn't need a VPN connection, cannot say more than that since haven't used mine outside China,yet.
the first pop up says that you have downloaded the package and asks you if you want to install it,
The second tells you that you have to restart the phone to complete the installation.
Great!
Everything works as you promised.
Afternoon everyone.
As per the title, is the play store working on the tv stick?
I've got root (with kingo), I've installed the xposed framework. I've "adb install'd" the apk's for acc's manager, play- services, framework, search, play store (all from a firegapps zip file, found in a year old thread). I've installed and activated HDXposed also.
WHere do I go from here, if at all possible?
Ok, so i now have the play store app opening but am getting an error [RH-=01].
I'm presuming this is due to using old apk's.
Any pointers anyone?

Clear cache/data for Google Play Services, Framework and Playstore. Try to open and set up playstore again. also, what version of playstore are you using? I would try to fined a leanback version.

Same error, after clearing cache and data.
The apk's came from the firegapps zip, in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/fire-tv/themes-apps/how-to-install-gapps-root-t2960705
I've got an amlogic s812 clone box that I have root access to. I'll try scouring that box for the same apk's as that'll use a leanback variant.
Ok. I've flashed updates to the services, framework, account manager and the playstore (leanback variant from December. Most recent I could see) and still getting the same error.
i think, we get the Librarys installed to get it work but thos can only work when TWRP is installed. But current, we wait for a release of it, nobody knows if it come or not.
other way is, a Dev write a script what install all files with correct permission included... same as xposed.

Aye, thanks. I'd come accross that site during my rsearching. I'm also comfortable using abd for pushing/shell/installing etc but I didn;t want to be beaten by not getting play-store to work. ALthough, this does cover the majority of the apps that'd be needed.
