[Q] Installing Google Play Store

I received a version of the zenfone 2 ZE551ML without the google play store. Can someone help me figure out how to install it?

try it now: https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B1MstkwW0vJ7ZU9ORTg0c2lWalU/edit

Just want to check what this is before installing it.
Phone is currently bricked in an effort to root. Any advice?

From where did you buy it? Does your phone have other google apps like gmail, g+, google maps etc?
You can download the latest playstore (Version 5.4.12) from the attachment provided below..Transfer it to the phone and enable unknown sources...Install apk normally..
The apk/file provided by @a76vna is google installer...It will help you download all the apps made by google (Only google apps ; No third party apps can be downloaded from it)\
Please tell us how did it brick..Is it stuck on bootloop??...You can revive the phone by downloading and flashing the stock rom from official Asus website...

How is it bricked, can you elaborate?

Sorry for the short post.
The phone was stuck in a boot loop. It would show the ASUS logo, then the spinning wheel.
Turns out the problem was that I was trying to flash the .11 version of the pre root image instead of the .13
Flashing the .13 version fixed the boot loop and also installed all the google apps! So both problems are solved now.

I was able to install all the gapps using this method.
I found the google installer for the miui and than it worked flawlessly.

Any changes you know where I can get the correct Google Play Services for the zenfone 2? I tried all sorts different version and nothing works. Every time I install it I just keep getting the message "Unfortunately google play store has stopped". I tried all sorts of different things to get it to work but its still not working. Right now I have it uninstalled by factory data resetting the phone. I downloaded the attachment you had and every time I open it it just close back and no errors. If anyone has any suggestions for me would be much appreciated.
Thanks

Will do. Some of you might already know this trick but ill tell you what I did. You need to uninstall google play store and google play services I could not do it from the phones options so I had to factory data reset my phone. To do so go to settings > Backup & reset > Factory data reset Note : This will erase all your data on your phone. I did not back up my data or turn on any of the options in the backup & reset. Ones you are done with the factory data reset check if you any google apps installed on the phone. If you do then try to find a way to uninstall them I don't know how. If you don't have them installed then go to settings > security > tun on unknown sources. Then go to your browser on the phone and go to m.app.mi.com then click on the green button at the top right hand side it will start downing Xiaomi market. When you have the app installed on to your phone open it and search google. You should get a button that says "search other markets" if you do click it. You need to find the right now I can't post pics so do a search for Xiaomi google installer in google images and you see it . This should install google installer, ones its done installing open google installer and install google play store you should know and see the icon for it. You will get a prompt saying install google services framework click ok. Then you should see "Google Services Framework" ,"Google Account Manager" , and two different google play icons. On the bottom there is a install all button click it. You will get another prompt just click continue and just keep hitting next and install ones you get prompted. That it you should have everything working now hope that helps.
PS: I know this is a long away to do it. You can just download for the 4 apps and transferring them to your phone internal drive and installing them. You could do that but that's not what I did.

Google Apps problem on China Oreo Rom Solution

I've stayed on the China rom since I bought my phone and everything was fine with the Google apps until the update to Oreo 9.5.2. Problems encountered were constant crashing and popups, battery drain and Google Assistant stopped working. Here's how I solved the issues:
1) Go to this link and install the updated Google apps for Oreo http://en.miui.com/thread-1682191-1-1.html
2) I tried several Assistant apps on the play store but all crash immediately just like Google Assistant. So I've switched to Cortana (until Xiaomi fix the bug) and it works perfectly.
Hope this helps anyone that decided to stay on the China rom like me.
P.S. Before anyone asks. No, I don't want the Global rom or a custom rom. No I don't want to flash, mod, magisk or anything else. Just posting a tip. Thanks.

Bump, I also have the problem and it's fustrated to know my Google assistant and Google app not working.

I tried to solve it with this solution, but still have the problems.
Also 4/6 apps it didnt install, because I have a newer version.
Are there any other solutions?

Uninstall your other Google apps and install these. Make sure you follow the instructions exactly. Install but don't open and make sure you use the 8.0 version of Google Services Framework and not 8.1. Reboot your device and log back into Google. You also have to enable all the permissions, autostart, background, don't kill, no restrictions etc just like a regular app since they're not treated like a system apps by MIUI. If Google Play Services starts draining the battery just force stop it. Opening any other Google app will restart it in normal mode.
All this works for me so far and I'm also getting about an extra hour of battery life along with the major ram management improvements on Oreo.

Another thing. If Google Play Services is causing battery drain, disable Modify System Settings in permissions. I've been getting the battery drain issue once in a while and found a possible solution in the Oneplus forums. So far it seems to be working.

Here's the solution to the Google app problem. Google Assistant won't show up as the default Voice Assistant so you'll have to just use voice on the normal app.

Make sure you uninstalled your original Google Account Manager and then try again. If that doesn't work uninstall everything and try this method:
http://en.miui.com/thread-2069667-1-1.html
I only added the Google Partner Setup apk from that link to mine and disabled Modify System Settings in permissions and everything seems ok so far. You can also try force stopping Google Play Services and opening the Play Store. That worked for me too but it doesn't solve all the problems.
I'm presuming you followed the original instructions to the letter and installed the apps in order without opening anything and then rebooting?

I've installed all gapps through Xiaomi store. Eveything is working now. Let's see if the battery drain problem is still there tomorrow.
Before my clock also didnt work, but today it works suddenly......

Good to hear. Disabling the Modify System Settings permission solved my battery drain issue. Everything works so I'm not exactly sure what that permission does.

I got parse error when tried to install the google account manager. Not sure how you guys solved the issue?

I was getting the parse error when trying to install the Google Account Manager as well (and yes, I have uninstalled everything else Google related).
I follow the installation guide here:
http://en.miui.com/thread-1682191-1-1.html
But the thing is the Miui 9 now needs to give permission to install 3rd party apps for each app, but I do set it up that the Mi File Manager has the right to do that but same thing, still has that Parse error when trying to install the Google Account Manager.
I don't see Xiaomi store has GApps anymore, where did you get it from?

I really don't understand why you're not able to install it successfully. Try uninstalling everything again and follow this method exactly http://en.miui.com/thread-1682191-1-1.html
Make sure you install only the 8.0 version of Google Services Framework and not 8.1. Don't open anything until you have rebooted.
This is the one I used and only added Google Partner Setup from the other method whilst disabling Modify System Settings in the permissions for Google Services Framework.

I just chose the first one that came up. But if you're suspecting the files are corrupted just download the updated versions directly from Apkmirror.

I downloaded a newer version of google account manager and successfully installed it, i will see whether i can install the rest of the component. I will let you know.

Hi guys, does any of you have this issue with Google Play services automatically update to version 12.2.21 and then puts Google play store in a loop displaying the message "Authentication is required. You need to sign in your Google account" even though I am signed in and press the retry button. I can confirm previous versions of Google play services do not cause this issue, but there is no way to stop the damn thing from automatic updating, even though the app store has autoupdate off.
I tried removing the account and adding it back. Tested with another Google account and same issue.

I had the same issue when I updated to Oreo. Try and Force stop Google Play Services and deny it permission to Modify System Settings. The Force Stop will allow you to access the Play Store temporarily and for some reason denying permission to Modify System Settings permanently solves the battery drain and Play Store issue. I have no idea why but someone posted it on the OnePlus forums and it works.

how to stop System out of date update pop-up

Hey guys, I've disabled update notifications through play store and I've disabled auto update system under developer settings as well but this keeps popping up every now and then and I can't figure out to block it. I'm rooted on August 2019 pie build. I've searched the services for play services and play store and can't find anything related to what this update might be from.
I've searched around Google and XDA and haven't found anything regarding this specific pop-up. Anyone have any info?

Following..
I have same issue, but mine is more out-of-date than yours! [emoji16]
Hopefully we'll get some answer here, I have not been able to prioritize this issue in normal life, and this holiday season is not giving me any more time for sure...

The annoying part is it doesn't pop up as a notification or an app that would show up in overview mode otherwise I could just long press on it and figure out what process it's coming from. I gotta figure it's from one of the play services but there's so many different ones and nothing I've seen really stands out like updater or anything like that.

Just letting you know, if it pops up & you accidentally hit the update button, turn off wifi & data, then clear the cache/storage on Google Play Services to stop the update.

I think the process is android system, notification section, it should be listed as download or update or very similar, just turn it off.

I'm on a 3a xl and I got my update Dec 2nd. You can always manually Flash the update it's all ready to download

Also interested in blocking this popup.

Bump

Just found this command to try in another system update blocking thread. Trying it out now. Not sure how often the pop-up appears but I usually see it about twice a week
pm disable com.google.android.gms/.update.phone.PopupDialog
I haven't seen any negative side effects to using this yet but if someone thinks so please let me know.

Just to let you guys know the command I previously posted has worked. It's been over 2 weeks now and it has not popped back up at all and nothing is broken that I've noticed so far.

There is nothing with update or updater listed that I can delete when I use titanium. I think Google combined it with play services.
Any idea where it would be located for manual deletion? I've searched through both system and priv apps folders and found nothing that would indicate it is the system updater?

Does the "pm disable com.google.android.gms/.update.phone.PopupDialog" need to be run on a rooted device?
I tried on my unrooted pixel 5, but get the following error. Unfortunately I can't root because of my banking apps.
Code:
adb shell pm disable com.google.android.gms/.update.phone.PopupDialog
Exception occurred while executing 'disable':
java.lang.SecurityException: Shell cannot change component state for com.google.android.gms/com.google.android.gms.update.phone.PopupDialog to 2
at com.android.server.pm.PackageManagerService.setEnabledSetting(PackageManagerService.java:21042)

I found the answer myself. YES it needs root

I have tried to run this 'pm disable' command and run into the Java error. I am rooted, though with ADB, trying to gain root or anything, everything seems to get a 'permission denied' error.

Finally found the solution on the Mi Forums.
Goto Settings -> Apps -> Permissions -> Autostart. Enable both options for 'Google Services Framework' i.e. 'Allow apps to start automatically' + 'Allow the app to be started by other apps.
Restart phone.
After that I could sign in.
Maybe the Autostart setting is necessary for contacts and calendar as well.

Thank you! You saved me a lot of trouble, I was about to install new ROM on my phone just because of this problem.

I am replying to this in the event that someone else has had the same problems. I have a cc9 pro China rom. I downloaded the miui 12 update yesterday and Google stopped working. After several hours of trying all the fixes mentioned here and elsewhere this si what worked for me.
Delete everything Google.
Redownload the Google.apk from get apps.
Go through the cycle but parser error will come up.
Go to downloads and click install for first item.
Back to Google apk press button again for second item. Parser error will show.
Back to downloads and install.
Do this each time.
Once installed go to play store and make sure auto updates are turned off. After getting this working the play services updated with the newer version, which in turn stopped everything working again. And I had to go through the entire process again.
DO NOT UPDATE GOOGLE AY STORE OR SERVICES.
The only thing now not working for me is youtube which is not compatible with the old version of the play store.
Hope this helps someone.

Thanks for posting this - I was having major issues on my Mi 10 Lite Zoom until finding and trying this. Everything worked great - for about a week, and now none of my Google stuff works again?? Any thoughts on why? I guess I'll uninstall everything Google again and redo your suggestions above, but I certainly don't want to do this once a week?? Thoughts?

Hi
You just have to try to make "Google Services Framework" and "Google Play services" to Autostart, as i told above.

Question Cannot update Chrome application on global Poco F3 due to unfinished configuration of brand new Android device

Hi all,
I've tried to update my chrome application (the pre-installed on my Global Poco F3 which is under MIUI Global 12.02 stable global) I have tried multiple times to update the Chrome app from the Google Play Store with no success to this day.
I've investigated using adb logcat and I've seen a specific error trigger itself :
4-10 00:34:14.008 17140 17170 E Finsky : [993] tvh.apply(44): IQ::GROUP_INSTALL: Error validating group. Rejecting requests: [com.google.android.trichromelibrary, com.android.chrome]

Obfuscated long Java backtrace...

I have tried to update chrome on a Redmi Note 8 pro without success as well. However, under LOS (Lineage OS 18.1) another phone has successfully updated the Chrome app, meaning this issue is probably not due to a weird Google Play Store bug but most likely due to MIUI 12.
Anyone has encountered this issue ? And is there any way we could work around this ? (instead of waiting for a potential fix in MIUI 12.5)
Thanks for any help on this matter, I can provide the whole backtrace if anyone want to see it but I doubt it would help anyway since she looks pretty obfuscated to me (the only thing I could understand was some execute function being called but all the classes names have been randomized and most functions call names too).

Hi! This is usually a problem for those who have set up the system for the first time. I also encountered this, after a while Google Chrome was updated on its own. The same applies to the Android System WebView application. Wait for a while and the app will update.
UPD: Or you can download right now from apkmirror.com, if you want

But my Redmi Note 8 Pro isn't brand new, but I still encounter an issue to upgrade Chrome at least, I'm not too sure how long should I be waiting ? (like 6 months or just even a few weeks I guess ?)

Okay, try log out from your Google account, then clear data & cache Google Play Services, Service Framework and Google play store too, then reboot and login again, but not sure about this method

I cannot understand the mistake. I updated Chrome to the latest version 3 days ago.

You were correct, I had unfinished the device configuration (the first time you have to connect your Google account etc.) hence it didn't work to update Chrome and Android Web View, I just finished it right now and Chrome did successfully update. That's weird I think Android should change (if this issue is at the Android level).
In the end I didn't need to do all this logging out, clearing data & cache and so on, just finishing the device configuration solved the issue.

I had a somewhat permanent notification that said something along the lines of "Finish configuration of your device" I clicked on it and then I pressed next and tweaked the last options, once that notification was cleared, all the Google Apps kinda of updated themselves somehow (I saw some of them even reinstalled themselves that was a bit weird but everything went fine afterwards).

Thank you for your help.
Unfortunately I didn't have this message to "Finish configuration". So, I followed a tutorial on internet and erase all Google play store and Google Play services data.
After that rebooted the phone and put my information again on Play Store and than the update starts working for it self.

Good thing you figure it out, and also thanks for explaining how for others who will face this issue, maybe sometimes the notification disappears for some reason or the configuration doesn't finish successfully and this issue happens.
