YouTube vanced - Samsung Galaxy Tab S4 Questions & Answers

Can anyone tell me how to install YouTube vanced on my non-rooted s4? I was able to install it on my old Sony (also non-rooted), but it's been a long time since and I forgot what I did to make it work!
Can anyone help me out?
Thanks

The instructions and files are provided on the website. https://youtubevanced.com/non-root
Preliminary step:
- Go to the app settings for YouTube > make sure to uninstall updates and disable the app
- In Google Play select YouTube, press the 3 dots button and uncheck auto-updates. (As Vance will get overridden with the original app if it updates).
THEN
1. Download and install the APK for arch (arm64-v8a)
2. Download and install MicroG after, in order to enable signing into your account.

[Q] Need Help with Google Play Store Mod [MOD][XPOSED]

I've been trying to enable Google Play Store on my OUYA without success. I've tried a couple of times with a factory reset.
My steps are:
Turn on ADB over Network
adb install RootMyOuya.apk
Run the root tool under MAKE & reboot
adb install Mod_Collection4Ouya.5.1.apk
Install CWM Recovery & reboot
(Under MAKE/MOD Collection) Enable CWM Recovery & reboot
(Under MAKE/MOD Collection) Install Play Store & reboot
(Under MAKE/MOD Collection) Enable Play Store & reboot
Run Play Store under MAKE
Enter account info, clear keep informed checkbox
Try to launch Play Store under Make, it appears for an instant and then exits
permissions in system app are all correct
logcat is full of errors but not being an android developer I have no idea which are even relevant
It's at /pastebin.com/4fiFQJGx
I've REDACTED my Google and OUYA account names but that should not be an issue.
(btw the force HDMI resolution ON/OFF switch does not seem to work properly, I turned it on and it won't turn OFF )

You also need the exposed installer, then go to modules section and check the box for the mods you want.

Aha! Thank you VERY much. Obviously and important step
Now I get connection timed out which is, at least, a new problem lol

Maybe go into settings-manage apps and clear data for Google play and play services.
I could never get the store to actually open up. Its on there and you can start it but it then just says no connection.
I would suggest the amazon app store instead, most apps on there will run nicely since the hardware is very similar.
Make sure you go into Xposed Framework --> Modules, and actually TICK the box for the framework using the touchpad, then reboot. Doing this gets rid of the timeout issue.
It is but I just use the amazon store instead
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
Tangcla ftw!
Ticking the box for modules worked for me (as stated above)...you have to use the little ouya touchpad, or I just used a mouse.
I can't believe that simple thing was preventing google store from coming up!
Thanks for the tips tangcla (and others).
I know you wrote that back in January 2014, but it still works today! (July 2015)
I do use amazon store also, works great!

Google Now/Now on Tap not working

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.

NOPE. It didn't work.. When turning on Now Cards, it is disabled and says 'not available in your country'.

I don't believe gstore works properly yet, until we can stop it from updating. Once you install it, it works once. When you close it, it auto updates.
Maybe it needs few file permissions changed ?

I do not think so. You will need to flash xposed-v80-sdk22-arm64 first, side load XposedInstaller_3.0_alpha4.apk and then run it however like the other explained above google store is not working at the moment.

i could swear reading somewhere (not sure if was from rbox) a few weeks ago they had play store working but were holding off with posting instructions since it was difficult.
either way, i tried old methods including sideloading play store, play services, account manager and play framework with no luck lol
At the moment I have Play Store for Android TV working on my FTV 2. Here is what I have done.
1) Install Xposed Framework (http://forum.xda-developers.com/fir...2-recovery-t3309780/post65217545#post65217545)
2) Flash Open Gapps (http://opengapps.org/) Use ARM64 for Android 5.1. I used the nano version that includes search. You need to flash this in recovery.
3) Install the HDXposed module (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2618158)
At this point you have the Google Service Framework and Play Store installed, however, for some reason the latest Play Store is not working; it says that it is not compatible with the device. You can sideload an older version of the play store (e.g. 5.12.10) that will let you browse for apps but I was not able to download and install any apps. Now to the good news. I sideloaded the Play Store for Android TV. The latest version (6.0.2) has some issues and only shows the Top apps (although you can search for apps) but the previous version (5.10.31) works great. It gives you full access to all the Android TV apps and you can directly install them!
You can download the Play Store apk here:
http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google-inc/google-play-store/
For the Android TV version select the leanback version.
One additional note. I also installed the Market Helper(http://codekiem.com/2013/02/13/market-helper/) where you can select TV as a device ID for the Play Store. I am not sure it is needed but might be.
This will all need more testing but it's a promising step forward. Most Android TV apps I have tried so far work great with the Fire TV remote and game pad and there are some exciting new games such as GT Racing 2 that you can install directly!
Edit: Added correct link for the HDXposed thread.

Were you actually able to get apps to install? I have Play Store running, but every app install throws an error 976.
I did have to use Titanium Backup to remove the Play Store installed by the gapps package. I'm wondering if that has anything to do with it.
How are you starting the play store? I had to use a 3rd party launcher to get it to start for me.

Play Store shows up in FireStarter after I side loaded the lean back version. It did take some keyboard work to get my Google credentials entered. You can't use a mouse to move around the login screens and the "Accept" button doesn't highlight when the keyboard focuses on it.
I can launch it from the Apps section in the Fire TV menu or from Fire Starter. I have installed several apps. Only one or two gave me a 940 error but clearing the Cache and Data for the Play Store solved that. The store does have some issues. I looked at some screenshots from the Play Store on other devices and realized that many app sections are not showing. I also had a few crashes. But you can use the search to find apps and then install them. At the moment you also need to re-install the Play Store after every reboot, maybe removing the system apps would solve that. Work in progress, maybe others have some ideas.
I can't get past the log in screen in play store.
The cursor while using the mouse just dissapears.
On every other app works fine but I just can use the dpad on Google Settings or Google Play which isn't good enough.
I now have play store and xposed working.. downloads working just fine for me.. have it loading to google tv launcher (cant even figure out how to get back to fire tv menu at all but im not complaining haha)
Does the leanback youtube work?

How did you do this?
I flashed xposed from recovery booted installed the xposed apk installed the hdxposed module, activated it, rebooted, flashed open gapps nano arm64 5.1. But now I can't open play store at all ... Looks like version compatibility error. I tried to side load leanback but that just errors instantly and doesn't install. Same with the older version of the normal play store.

Best way to install Google Play on Chinese ROM?

I've got 238 hrs to wait until my bootloader can be unlocked!
What's the best way to install Google Play on the locked Chinese ROM?
I see some tutorials referring to a "Google Installer" but if possible I'd prefer not to use this as it looks a bit dodgy to me.
I've tried installing Google Play Services and Google Play Store from APKMirror but the Play Store is not opening.
Specifically I installed
Google Play Services 12.8.78 for arm64-v8a + armeabi-v7a
Google Play Store 11.4.15
I got it working by installing Google Contact Sync, Service Framework and Account Manager.
1. Download Google Installer apk from: here
2. run the app and install every thing it asks
3. go to permissions manager and give every google app (sync, services, etc.) every permission
4. allow auto start for every google app (sync, services, etc.)
5. Run google play, let it update it self and its play services
6. enjoy
Open Chinese app store and search for: Google Play store and scroll to find it.
It will install all necessary files and you will need to reboot before all errors stop.

Reason to Use China Rom on Mi Max 3
Can somebody pls tell me if it's worth getting the china rom and staying on it, and just side installing the google apps?
I have noticed that some things do not work so well when you sideload google services on china rom.
Sync contacts do not work, UI is full of chinese characters, some chinese application services work in the background and can not be shut down...
Overall it's not bad, but i would definitely install the global version as soon as it goes out.

Contact sync works for me. You need to go into the Contact Manager app entry in Installed apps and enable all permissions for it.
Contact Sync and Calendar Sync never worked for me no matter what I tried....
Until I factory reset the phone and started from scratch...
Factory reset --> Google Installer from Mi Apps --> Google Login --> Sync --> GApp Permissions --> Reboot --> Sync
Things I did differently from before, not sure of they contributed to the success:
1) I factory reset and setup new phone with sim card in the device (previously had not yet changed mine to a nano sim)
2) Disabled Google's 2 Step Authentication during initial setup and sync (will turn them back on once everything works)

Will anyone make a Google apps enabled rom for the Mate Xs?

I'm very interested in buying this phone, but not without google apps like Play, maps, etc. Is anyone planning on doing a rom for the Mate Xs?
Does not work (without Root), no way (Backup or any App). And root is NOT possible without Bootloader-UNlock.
It should be possible using this method.

No, using the other method with the backup; the link provided by jutley.
It looks like everything is installed correctly but I'm completely blocked by Play Protect. I've tried factory reset to get a new gsf id and registering that as well but no dice. Seems like the id registering just doesn't work?

english please
can one help us to how to install Google app shown in Spanish YouTube in details in English.
with needed files.
Thanks.
I can try to summarize the steps I think is needed after trying for a couple of days.
(Disclaimer: I haven't actually tried it from scratch but I'm pretty sure these are the only things needed)
(Start at 10. if you already have it working but want to get rid of the errors.)
First get the files from these videos:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3MfxLUNWJr0
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sEBrOwQP_0o
1. Put the files on a USB stick (Dunno if it is needed, it might be fine to put them on the phone directly)
- (!)The Huawei folder needs to be in the root.
- You'll have 4 important folders, Huawei, Google pack, fix and newfix.
2. Go to Settings/System & updates/Backup & restore/Data backup/External storage/USB storage/17 October 2019 and then press restore.
- Enter the password it asks for (a0000000)
- This will put 2 sketchy apps on your homescreen.
3. Install all apks in the Google pack folder.
4. Run the sketchy app with a purple G and press Activate when it asks you to. Then continue pressing the buttons (really see the video for this) and restart the phone when it fails with the first spinny thing.
- Once restarted you will be spammed with errors, ignore these for now (disable sound, they are super annoying)
5. Revoke the access and uninstall the sketchy apps. It's not needed but I wouldn't leave it enabled for a second longer than I need.
- Go to Settings/Security/More settings/Device administrators and set the G app to inactive.
- Uninstall the G app and the other one as well I assume.
6. Uninstall Google Services Framework.
- Settings/Apps/Apps - search for google and enable Show system processes in the right corner menu.
- I had issues with this on my phone that it would just freeze and restart when I tried it, the solution seemed to be to clear all its data and force stop the proccess until the force stop button stopped being active.
7. Go to the fix folder and install google account manager4.0.3.apk
8. Create your google sync accounts in Settings/Users & accounts/Add an account/Google.
- Follow the instructions as you would for logging in to google.
- (!) Add all the accounts you want to sync now, I can't seem to add them afterwards.
9. Go to the fix folder and install com.google.android.gsf_10-29_minAPI29(nodpi)_apkmirror.com.apk
- Restart and after that everything should work except for a lot of errors everywhere. At this point the fist video tells you to just disable the notifications but it doesn't help for example gmail and you have to do it for every new app you install so it is pretty annoying. The google sync also broke for me after restart.
10. Install the Device ID app from the app store (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=vtechnotm.com.deviceid&hl=en)
11. Uninstall Google Play services - same procedure as 6.
- To verify that you're on the right path the version you just uninstalled should have been version 19.2.75.
12. From the newfix folder install modagain1gsm.apk.
- This is the Google Play services version 19.4.20.
- Make sure the play store still opens, it might show an error but should preferably still show apps.
13. Reinstall Google Services Framework.
- First repeat step 6.
- Install the file in newfix Google Services Framework-com.google.android.gsf-29-v10.apk
14. Start the Device ID app and verify that you don't have any GSF ID.
15. Poke around in the play store until the Device ID shows a GFS ID, see the video.
- This step feels very unscientific and sometimes it took me forever...
- If it doesn't work make sure you have Google Play services version 19.4.20 installed.
- Don't reboot your phone, it should regenerate the ID just by poking around. I got it regenerated when rebooting but then it didn't work after that.
16. You got the ID generated! Uninstall Google Play services and install the file com.google.android.gms2.apk from the newfix folder.
- Verify that Google Play services is now version 20.12.14.
That's it! Everything should work after this.
I'm pretty confident you can skip some steps here, for example you could install Play services 19.4.20 from the newfix folder already at step 3 to avoid having to reinstall once. But I'm also super unsure why all this actually works so I'm scared to change the procedure
Feel free to suggest corrections!
