Hello,
first - I am from Germany, so my English is probably not the best. But I hope you will understand me. I came here because nobody can help me in German forums.
I use the S4 Mini with CM13, root included. What I want is installing an app which is only for Android 5 and higher, exactly the "Seat Connect App". First I tried to find an APK for this APP, but there is no APK to find, although I try as hard as I can.
The Market Helper APK also not help, I tried to switch my phone into an S5 with it. The Play Store via Computer allows me to install the app, but the phone says the app does not confirm with my device (error code 940).
I also tried to edit the build.prob, I think it was the only way to install apps for higher android systems on old phones before the Market Helper App launches. But that old descriptions from a few years ago also do not help to fix my problem.
So I see no way to solve my problem, as it-specialist it makes me poor not finding a way to do what I want. So I hope you as absolutely experts can help me. Has anyone an idea what is to do to get the app on my phone?
Thanks and greets - spider2MW
I'm not sure how to get your phone download it from the phone's playstore, but if you want apks from apps that is in the playstore (free and not paid), you could go find them at websites that mirror the apk. Websites like apkpure dot com will do.
Here, I found the apk you needed, you could just download it. It's not modified, just a mirror. And it's the latest version, just the same as the one you'll get from playstore
(I can't post links I'm just a lurker and silent reader, so I insert spaces)
apkpure . com/ seat-connectapp/ com.seat.connectedcar.samsung
⊙︿⊙ Sorry, download failed, the APK does not support our device.
This is what I get when I try...
Of course there are many sites to download the newest version of the APK, but there is always another problem. Some sites go to an endless loop by preparing the download, other sides give me the wrong apk, and so on. I tried just about 20 or more links, but there is always another problem. So I would say an APK is not an opinion to solve my problem. Maybe a different handling of Market Helper or the build.prop helps, but I do not know how to do. Maybe someone of you?
Edit: Maybe someone of you can download the APK for me and send it to me on another way? Is that possible? Maybe the link works on your computer.

You may have noticed that some apps in the app store are "Not available for your device" I absolutely despise that fact that they outright ban you from downloading the app. Give me a warning about mismatched resolutions, whatever, but make NO way to get the apps?! GRRRR!!!! But I digress....
I'm trying to get the myChevrolet and Onstar RemoteLink apps, neither of which are available for our Epic Touch 4G apparently. I can't find the apk's on the web and I've spent hours trying to get the Android Market to work an an Android emulator so I could get the apps and pull the apk from there, but apparently I'm just not going to be able to get the #$%^ market to work either.
Can anybody help here? Send me the apk's or help me get the market working on emulator or some other suggestion ?
I had no problems installing those apps from the market.

I'm not sure why the onstar remote link shows as a zip in my app folder instead of as an apk if that doesn't work let me know

Did you change the DPI on your device? If you did the market won't let you install certain aps.
im0rtalz Thanks, but the first link is broken. I renamed the .zip to .apk, but when I try to install I just get "application not installed". The icon is there though, so I suspect it comes back to a screen resolution issue.
I did not change my DPI, but I am running Calkulins E4GT v2 ROM. I'm guessing the ROM includes a modded resolution???
Sorry I had not check back into this thread please try this one for the apk version

ok, so I got a new HTC Desire HD from my fathers company when we moved to China not so long ago. But the phone had a pre-installed chinese version of Android 2.2.1, which don't even have a app market.
Is there a way to get get google play on it? It's a bit annoying to always search around to find a .apk file of the app you want, download it to the computer, send it do the phone and hence install it.
This would help a lot.
Thank you in advance.
You could always just download the play store .apk
There are 2 at the bottom of the page, either a modified one or the original .apk

When I try to open the non-modded version the app just 'stopped unexpectedly' ... What am I doing wrong?

Nothing, you need to make your device not look like it is in China or a China version as the google market is blocked in China and on China based devices
Change location of phone

Apparently you need to install the modified version in the link i posted, and when prompted to overwrite select yes
Download the modded .APK file
Connect your device to your computer.
Place the .APK on your device, but don’t use adb install; it won’t work since the Google Play Store is already installed
Open the .APK with a file explorer of your choosing, and install. When prompted as to whether you wish to replace the current Google Play Store app, you select “Yes”.
After a short installation process, that’s all. Your are now able to access unrestricted Play Store app.
Still not working ...

Ok, so I have now successfully rooted my phone, and installed the modded version of Google Play, but still, when I'm trying to launch the application it says; "The application Google Play Store (process com.android.vending) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again.)
Could this be because of a too old Android version (running 2.2.1)? Should I install a custom ROM?
If you are rooted, that seems like the next logical step. There are several 'stock' or 'near-stock' ROMs, as well as many 'modded' to choose from, based on gingerbread (2.3.4, 2.3.5, 2.3.6, 2.3.7). Most ICS are still incomplete although pretty functional.. Work in progress is the phrase they use. Must warn that once you start ROM swapping, it gets quite addictive

it worked!

Thank you, I finally got the google plus app to work
But after flashing a new ROM, I got a new problem (as described here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1636999) anyone here got any tips for how to fix this .. ? : )
Hi friends
at this first, i need to say that my English is not good, cause its not my first or even second language XD
So ... sorry for my bad English.
I bought this phone yesterday (i9190)(4.2.2)
everything is ok, but i have a problem.
i cant download any apps on blackmarth, apptoide or our Official market "Baazar" and I have this limit to Galaxy apps and google play market. For reasons, our country cannot access Google play market, so i only have "Galaxy Apps" market for download apps. and i think you know that Galaxy apps does not contain all apps we need.
Ohh... i forget that to say i rooted phone and freezed (!!?) knox apps and its staffs.
and one other thing... that i can install apps manually from phone's file manager or ES or etc... (I 've been a nexus user, and know that should check "Unknown source" in security settings.)
it says "Failed to download [app]" on notification bar before start download
or throw error: " Parse error There was a problem while parsing the package. " after finishing download.
i think its a security option that Samsung put on his Roms.
now i want to know , is there any way to disable this ..... security option .. and download/install apps freely? (At least from our official market!)
i dont want to flash CM based roms or MIUI.
again, sorry for my bad English.
any idea?

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.
Hello,
I got a fire tv stick a few days ago and cannot seem to find the Nick app or download it directly from my Amazon account.
I see a message stating "not supported with this device", may I ask if there is a way around this? or if there's something I'm missing?
Thanks in advance for your assistance,
Have a pleasant day.
Have you tried sideloading it? I have found most apps can be installed by doing this. ADBLink makes it easy, all you need to do is have the IP address of the stick and download the APK (APK Mirror is usually pretty reliable).
Thanks, I'll try that tonight. I'm assuming my device does not have to be rooted for sideloading via ADBLink. (correct me if I'm wrong). I wasn't able to find the Nick app on APK mirror, but I did find one at apkplz.
Sorry for all the questions, I'm a complete newbie.
no, sideloading doesn't require root. you will have to turn on apps from unknown sources and adb in settings also to make it work. Be aware installing apps that were not designed for the firetv usually don't work without bugs. Since this is a Nick app i am thinking you are doing this for kids and the bugs may make it to hard for them to use. Give it a try and see if it works. It is called this at APKMirror Nick 1.8 (39) apk APK for Android.
Thank you very much for all your help. I'll give it a go.
