Hi,
I'm trying to install the latest Google Phone app from APK Mirror (it does not show up in the play store) but I always get the "Application not installed" error. I tried different versions of the apk but the result is the same.
I was able to install other Google apps to replace the default Samsung ones (like messenger and calendar) but not the phone app.
Note: My phone is the international version with the latest Samsung firmware, no root.
Has anyone installed it already?
There is an older version that works on Samsung phones. The latest version doesn't.

This is for the LDE update. Ive got 6 apps that when trying to update from the market, it doesnt update and says package not signed properly.
The apps Im having problems with are:
Adobe flash player 11
Gmail
Google search
Google Shopper
Street View for Google maps
Youtube
I have tried disabling Lookout as well so it appears the error is coming from android. Im using Whitehawkx's [ROM][STOCK] Deodexed T989UVLDE [5.23.2011] off rootzwiki. I dont know if it matters but the market included in the ROM hasnt updated to PlayStore yet. I do not have it frozen.
Any ideas?
Exact same thing happened to me. I read somewhere to delete the apk from /system/apps with Root Explorer or the like and reinstall via the market. When I tried that with gmail, I just hit an error from the market about the update being incorrect. I ended up just going back to Tuesday.
I just installed ParanoidAndroid Sabertooth 3.99, updated the Radio to GA02 and installed GAPSS pa_gapps-full-4.3-20131102-signed.zip
The only thing i have noticed thus far is that Google Now does not work. It shows that there is an update fro it in Google Play but will not install. When i try to open Google Now it says: Unfortunately, Google Search has stopped. When i try to update it through the market, during installation it says: Package file was not signed correctly. Uninstall the previous copy of the app and try again.
So, is it ok to use titanium or something to force uninstall of this service and install the one from Google Play? Or should i use the older version of GAPPS and try updating the software?
Hello,
I've recently upgraded my Sony Xperia Acro S to android 5.0. Everything was fine, until i tried to install google play store. I downloaded .apk file from apkmirror, installed it, everything seemed fine, but when I try to open it, the app just shows a white window and immediately shuts down. It doesn't even load or anything. I tried to download different versions of google play store - new and old ones, and tried to import the apk file from computer but result is the same for every version. Any tips/ suggestions on how to fix this problem?

Google apps don't work that way. You need to flash them via recovery, and they are separate for separate Android versions. If You are on Android 5.0, You need to flash these gapps via TWRP, and if on 5.1, then these gapps. Although You need to uninstall play store completely first.
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

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.
Hi all,
I've finally bought an Android phone after years of iOS use, but unfortunately it's a Chinese version and I can't get Google apps to work. I rooted the phone, and tried copying the apk files that I downloaded from apkmirror to the system/app folder using Root Explorer, but unfortunately that didn't work. I also used Google installer which seems to be used regularly in the Xiaomi community, but that didn't work either. Whatever I do, I keep on getting an error message saying "Unfortunately, Google Play services has stopped" over and over again. When I try to log in to the play store I get an error saying that the phone can't connect to the Google server.
I have absolutely no idea what else to try. Does anyone have any suggestions? Any help would be greatly appreciated!
EDIT: Not sure if it's relevant, but I am using Android version 4.4.4 and build number 14.4.A.0.108
Have you tried to flash GApps via recovery?
