As far I know, any Google Play and Google Play Services update released in 2017 and beyond probably won't work the A100. I speculate, this is due to Google stopping their support for CPU without the NEON instruction set.
Requirement:
Root Access
A root file explorer
Instruction:
1. Turn off Wifi to prevent auto-update when reverting back to the factory version
2. Go into the Settings => Select Apps => Find Google Play Services and Google Play Store => Uninstall Updates to restore to factory version
3. Download the latest APKs that works
Google Play Store 7.4.25
Google Play Services 10.0.84
4. Using a root file explorer, go into data/app and create two folders called com.google.android.gms-1.apk and com.google.android.gms-2.apk. DO NOT overwrite any existing file. Do the same for Google Play Store - com.android.vending. This process will trick Android into thinking there is no room to place the updated APKs.
5. Turn on Wifi.
Hope this helps out.

I found the new play store of Jely Bean! (New android 4.1) , You can download it in the attached file
How to install manually?
1. - In your Android goes to Settings -> Applications -> and check the box Unknown sources, so you can install applications manually.
2. - Download the Google APK Store v3.7.11 Play, your smartphone or tablet connects via USB to your computer and copy the APK downloaded to the microSD card from your android and disconnect your device from your computer.
3. - With a file browser goes to the contents of the microSD card and find the APK Store v3.7.11 and Google Play install it, will tell you that you are overwriting an operating system application and you must accept it.
That's it, after a few seconds you will have installed the new Android app store on your device.

Been done, several times already. Plus, the latest version is 3.7.13
This is a workaround to fix the battery drain caused by the recent Updates Google is installing on our devices.
The main culpid for causing this battery drain are the new Play Services, which are getting autoupdated everytime you have a internet connection, but also the changes made to the PlayStore, Maps and Youtube.
To get rid of all those wakelocks caused by these apps and so almost all the time keeping your phone active, I came to a workaround which still allows you to use the Playstore and apps like Maps and Youtube without causing such a huge battery drain, even if Network Location is still keept enabled.
So what you need:
1) A modified Playstore which doesn´t update itself and the Google Play services. http://uploaded.net/file/n0qykeja
2) The older versions of Play Services, Maps and Youtube. https://www.dropbox.com/s/p7fsu00r3zhat0l/google-fix.zip
3) App Backup & Restore and Root Explorer.
First disable all internet connections like WiFi and Mobile Data.
Then go to Settings> Apps and search for Google Play Services, Maps and Youtube. There delete the cache and data for those apps and uninstall them. For the Playstore just delete cache and data.
Open Root Explorer and install the Installer for the modified Playstore you downloaded from the first link.
After you installed it, launch the installer and select the very first Playstore offered on top. This will patch your Core.jar and replace your Playstore with the modified version.
After you got your Playstore replaced you can uninstall this installer again or keep it installed if you whish to revert back one day.
In CM9 open Root Explorer and go to System/Apps and delete there the Market-Updater.apk. (In CM10 it´s not present)
Now copy the Apps from the secound link into your App Backup & Restore backup folder.
Open App Backup & Restore and restore the older Google Play Services, Maps and Youtube.
Reboot your device and accept all the services.
Enable your internet connection, Launch Playstore and disable there all the notifications and autoupdates.
Just in case recheck if the Play Services didn´t got updated again. In this case go again to settings>apps and repeat the step above to delete Play Services. Finally restore them once more with App Backup&Restore.
Now you can use Maps and Youtube like before but without all the wakelocks keeping your phone active.
Last but not least greenify apps like maps, youtube or for example facebook.
This is a temporaly fix as long Google doesn´t fix this battery drain issue again.
As many of you know, the latest version of google play services does not work on the Fire Phone. It is extremely annoying for most of us that google play services updates itself to the latest version and crashes/fails to work. There is a very simple way to lock Google Play Services to whatever version you want if you have root - here's how:
#1. Install the version of google play that you want. Uninstall the new version and reinstall the old version if you have to.
#2. Open up a file explorer such as ES File Explorer.
#3. Navigate to /data/app.
#4. Create a new directory and name it com.google.android.gms-2.apk. If that file already exists, name it com.google.android.gms-1.apk.
Done!
The next time google tries to update itself, you might see an error such as "no disk space". Basically what is happening is google doesn't expect a folder so it doesn't know how to overwrite it. Hopefully someone will be able to patch google play services for fire phone or we'll see a new Fire OS version based off of android 5.0, until then - here's a simple way to stick to the version of google play services that you want!
Don't many apps like gmaps require the latest version of the store to function?
For me, Maps complains about requiring the latest version, but still runs... for hangouts, it wouldn't run so I gave up and just run hangouts 3.x version...
Basically, worst comes to worse, just run older versions of google software released around the time of your working version of google play services...

What I do is I used the app DISABLE SERVICE(S) and I disable 3 auto updating services to Google Play, then I take the Google Play Services that I WANT and I set it as a SYSTEM APP, then even if it DOES get overwritten, I just "uninstall" the update and it reverts back to the "factory version"
I got a Chinese version Zoom, I wanna use GMS but failed to find any way to get it rooted.
So I tried to install .apk directly..I installed the Google Play services 9.0.83 (280-121911109) from apkmirror but it does not work. Then I wanna install the 8.7.03 (2645110-280) one. However, it shows I can only force stop and disable the .apk but cannot uninstall it.
What I don't understand is, how can I install that .apk into the /system directly ?
And what can I do now ?
Now the version of play service and system is as follows:
hello when i download throw google play the apps are pending so i should erase the cache and force stop the app and delete the data then it download every time i have to do this steps !!
i remove google store to stock and the google play services but still the same so there is link for compatible version for store and services apk i can install it ?
