I've just received an Redmi Pad tablet from China and see that it has a Global ROM (whatever this means) but I'm unable to install a few apps, noticeably Netflix.
Google Play says that the app won't work on this device as per attached.
I then downloaded the APK from a different source but although it seems to install, it won't run and suggests I check the internet connection and the date and time both of which are fine.
I've also checked the allow apps from unknown sources and gone into developer mode.
I'd really appreciate some help with this please. Apologies if I've picked the wrong forum but this is the closest I could find.

Good day to you ladies and gentlemen. I will get straight to the point:
I recently purchased a Galaxy Tab 3 10.1 (GT-P5210) in China, and it comes with no Google Play.
I have tried installing the apks for Google Services Framework and Google Play, but as soon as I try to add my Google account (as requested by Google Play on first run), I get the "Unable to establish a reliable connection" to Google servers error. If I try to create an account from the settings panel, the settings program stops working. Google Services Framework also likes to crash seemingly at random.
I have tried getting a western firmware into it, but since I do not have a Windows box, and I haven't been able to get Odin to work on Virtual Box, no such luck. Heimdall doesn't seem to properly communicate with the tablet. Is there a way to do "Odin work" with adb and company?
So that's two questions, but what I would really like to ask is: what are my options? I just want my Google Play account on this beautiful tablet.
On a related note, how is the work on rooting the GT-P5210 coming along? Is there anything I can do to help? I have experience as a developer in general (not Android specific though), and I would be glad to help.
Thank you all for reading through this post
EDIT: I also couldn't find any custom recoveries for the Tab 3, are there none? That way I would be able to install a gapps .zip, maybe...

Galaxy Tab 3 from Chna
Hello tjohnman,
I also buyed last week a galaxy tab 3 10.1 here in china and have the same problem.
I have already rooted the tab and also found some how to´s for installing the google framework
and the app store for example
worlwideweb.androidpit.de/de/android/forum/thread/413743/Android-Market-Auf-X2-G
, but it works only more or less. Some of the google apps are running now but the most important
the google play store still didn´t run.
Maybe I only take the wrong software or I don´t know.
Can you tell me what exactly you have done to install the play store???
My Tab is:
GT-p5200
Android Vers. 4.2.2
Kernel 3.4.34-1216049
Has somebody a good idea or can tell me which software I have to use.
Thx for your hepl.
Solved the problem

Solved the problem by myself! But still is for me not clear how I can now which gapps-jb-xxx is the right one for my system.
Only with testing it was possible to find the solution.
Has anybody a good idea?
Hey guys just need some help here.
Because of the release date is still due for germany i decided to buy the ZE551 ML online.
I ordered it at tinydeal.com. As it seems i now have an somewhat chinese Version where i cant even add an google account.
Also i have trouble installing Google-Playstore properly because it crashes all the time (as well as other Google apps, tried to figure out why but all online solutions didnt help)
A freind said this might happen because of no Google Account being registered.
What should i do in your opinion?
Best option is probably to flash it for some EU/NA Version right ?
then i should be able to add an google account and set up all the apps properly ?
Thank you for your help!

I accidentally bought the CN version myself
I read somewhere earlier this method should work to add gapps to the CN version. --> http://goo.gl/ea7bCv
Make sure and remove your previous PlayStore install before.
I didnt get mines yet, but if ur willing to try it, see if it helps!
If not then the pre-root img should do the trick --> http://goo.gl/7viYVt

Hello, and thank you for using XDA Assist!
As it's an early Intel tablet, there may be a disconnect in the APK's architecture (may not handle x86 well, or handling it improperly).
At any rate, I am connecting this thread to the forum your device experts can be found:
> Asus Fonepad 7 > Fonepad 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting
Please note, to respond to replies, you will need to register for an XDA account. Also, your first reply may be "which app"? So let me beat them to the punch.
Hope this helps, and good luck!
Hi guys,
Firstly I want to say that I am new here and I' m really impressed by this forum.
Now to my Situation:
My grandmother brought a Zenfone 2 Laser from tinydeal, it was delivered with CN_1.16.40.1338 and therefore has no access to goole playstore.
I googled a while and tried to apply Gapps, manually installation (googleservcie, framework and store.apk) and method via mi appshop - none of them worked properly, playstore was installed but only a white screen appeared after starting the app.
On the other site I tried to switch to a custom rom:
- Cyageno 13 has the no speaker bug fpr ZE601KL
- http://forum.xda-developers.com/zen...om-stock-deodexed-pre-rooted-1-17-40-t3387731
won't install (yet) because of Error 7 (I assume the system partition is too small...)
Before I continue with my try and error does somebody know if there has been a suitable method for region change or woking playstore on a CN discovered yet?
Thanks in advace for sharing your knowledge
Hi All,
I usually don't post unless its getting to a point of frustration and can't find the solutions anywhere. Hopping the experts in this forum can provide some guidance to my issues.
I can't seem to install vanced youtube on my TCL 20 Pro but I have successfully installed the app on my other android devices using the same file (Samsung and Huawei). I have tried many times but it closes the installation each time opening the apk file and I have checked the permission to unknown sources. Just want to know if anyone have similar experience or have workable solutions.
Update: I read in other forums that MIUI optimisation need to be turn off, but I don't think this option is on my device.
Thank in advance.
