Hello,
The google search app has stopped working on both of my phones. One is a factory S3, never modified, the other has MOAR.
If I long press the menu button, the google search pops up, but searching for anything gives network errors and the cards do not load (same if I click into the google search widget). Both phones have internet access and I can load a browser and run the searches without a problem.
I've not tried fixing the factory phone but on MOAR I've attempted the following with no success:
1) Clear dalvik
2) Clear App data
3) Uninstall updates from Google App (blue icon)
4) Re-install updates
After all that, it still says, "Network error" and fails to load anything.
Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.
EDIT: Fixed it. For anyone else that has this issue:
Uninstall updates and clear data from Google App, Google Play Store, and Google Play Services. Update through play, and back in action.
So I am from one of those countries where Google Now/Now on Tap is not supported by Google. But I still want to enable it anyway...Need HELP.
It says 'This account is not eligible to use google now'. I have tried all the fix available on the internet but failed. Those are specially not working because they are for lollipop or for previous versions of Android; not for Marshmallow.
CAN ANYONE PLEASE HELP??
BTW, I am looking for both Rooted/non-Rooted methods..
Have you tried xposed framework? I saw that it's available for Marshmallow. It's what I used on my N4 to activate some US-only features because I had my system set to German.

No, I haven't. But I guess that would be a worthy try.. Okay, let's just say it's an option but before Rooting, I wanna try any other possible way.. Thanks..
So it's functional for all of you guys living outside the 'supporting countries'?
I was hoping there must be a way without Rooting... I want to use Google Now, please HELP!!!

Thanks but nothing worked.. It says 'This account is not eligible to use google now'.
I have tried to access US google play store through VPN but it didn't work. And Market Unlocker may work but it requires Root, which I don't want to do this early..
I was searching for a way to get past this too. Finally stumbled upon one after hours of messing around. Worked for me, hope it works for you too.
1. First download hotspot shield or any other vpn app from the playstore.
2. Disable google play services and sign out from your google account.
3. In Settings, go to location and choose "device only".
4. Download google play services from your browser.
5. Start hotspot shield and change location to America or any place where google now is available.
6. Install google play services that you've downloaded via your web browser (Please note that you have to allow installation of apps from unknown sources which can be done in security)
7. Sign in to your google account. You should be able to activate google now under Settings > Now Cards.
8. Once activated, uninstall google play services update that you've installed or disable it again and re-enable it. (If you are able to download apps from the playstore, then you can skip steps 8 to 11)
9. Turn off hotspot shield.
10. Go to apps, search for google playstore and clear data and cache.
11. Now go to google now and select update google play services.
Google Now should work now.

I will try.
No ROOT is required here in this method, right?

Nope. No root required
NOPE. It didn't work.. When turning on Now Cards, it is disabled and says 'not available in your country'.
Seems Hotspot Shield didn't work. Probably Rooting and trying would be only option..
FINALLY, this works for me: http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/general/guide-enable-google-cards-country-t3102472

I found these instructions (3+ years old) but it has not worked.
The phone works great but being a Chinese phone is missing Play Store
Any help will be greatly appreciated.

but when I try to install APK in the system folder I get error "cannot paste read only"
i was able to install the 3 APKs from the Downloads folder but it shows error during installation
Unfortunately Google Services Framework has stopped"
Play store was installed but I can never connect to the Playstore, my username/pass wont work
error shows:
Cant estabilish a reliable connection to the server
Good day. I decided to write down the points as I solved the problem. Now I have absolutely all applications updated including Google. This is a common problem for the owners of any device (ours is not an exception) working on Android 5.0. Google knows about this problem but does nothing, in fact, like htc.
1. The first thing I did was install the firmware from balla241. Firmware is clean European. Added superuser and some jokes. I like. After installation, do not connect to the network and do not enter your Google account.
2. Next, the market has been updated. Google play store 13.7.15
3. Next, manually install Google services 15.0.90 I downloaded the latest available.
4. After that, we reboot the phone, enter the Google account and enjoy a fully working phone.
Got a new Redmi 7. Updated with latest OTA.
1: I want to install an older Gmail version. I used the Java application on the Reddit Xaiomi wiki to remove the Gmail that came with the phone, and it indeed is off the pone. But the old APK I have won't install. It asks me if I want to install the package, I tap install, it does it's thing, then says "App not installed". I even tried the "Stream" install method of "cat gmail.apk : pm install -S size", with USB installing turned on, and get the prompt on the phone to install the app, but it always fails. Anyway to downgrade gmail without root? Is there a temp su that can be run to remove the new APK?
2: I disabled the Google assistant everywhere I could find but the home button animation still happens. it had the circle around the dot, and when pressed you get the dumb little colored dots animation. It doesn't launch anything but is annoying. Any way to get rid of those?
Thanks for any help
Why not just install an older version of gmail, download it from Apkmirror or something

I did. It won't install. It goes through the process then says "App Not Installed". Another wonderful Google non informative error message.
You can't downgrade apps unless rooted.
Uninstall the Gmail app first with XiaomiADBFastbootTools,it only use ADB.I don't have the link rn,but you can easily search it.
