Firstly I am referring to this guide:
Barclays-bank-app-running-on-rooted-phones
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2360053
After following instructions on my nexus 4 I have this problem:
I installed the Barclay's app 2 days ago and today I uninstalled it and copied your modified apk to data/app but after copying and restarting my phone the play store auto updated the app.
Now I have barclays-1 and barclays-2 apk in data/app . I've tried deleting my cache and dalvik cache and installing then reuninstalling the official app
I then tried installing the modified apk and restarting but the app won't appear in all apps, please help :/
Also when I try a to install it, my nexus 4 doesn't allow me to press install after reading permissions warnings. (I have google verify apps off and unknown sources on).
Thanks.

Be aware that your Google voice search will have frequent fails and shutdowns.
I did this and regret it. I use Google now voice command a lot and it fails very often and I end up doing manual.
Very annoying. Oh and yes I already did the language trick.

I have successfully rooted my T230 and installed TWRP 2.8.0.1. I now want to update the Google system apps with the latest available. I currently do this on my HTC One X running CM11 with the PA-GAPPs from here. I also modify the .zip file contents with the latest when they come out - I usually check here.
Now I tried this on the T230 and the script starts but exits saying 'Incompatible GApps Currently Installed' - I wasn't expecting it to work to be honest.....
I still want to update the Google system apps in /system/app and /system/priv-app to the current ones as the ones in the OTA ROM are fairly out of date. I know I can let the Play store update them to the current ones, however I wipe the device frequently and would prefer not to have to go through this each time. There are apps on the play store that let you move system apps and to user apps and vice versa which I have used before however its a faf each time they get updated as you need to make the system app a user app, let it automatically update or manually update it yourself with the .apk file and then move it back to system/app.
I'd prefer a flashable .zip I can install from recovery?

Well, I haven't tried flashing a Gapps zip but I agree that the apps are really outdated and would be too much to update each time you factory reset/wipe the device.
One way of doing this as you have mentioned: Remove the current Gapps. But I'm not sure it works for the play services. But even doing this may lead to the same error while flashing the zip.
Second way, as you said yourself, would be to make them as user apps and update them and make them system apps again. Which would take some time. But it seems the best method here.
The last way, specific to your case, is to wipe the device, update the apps and finally make a nandroid backup. Next time, instead of wiping, just restore the backup.
There can also be other ways to flash the zip in traditional manner but I think it would require a chance in the updater script of the package. (While you're at it, make sure you're flashing Kitkat 4.4 Gapps and not L Gapps.)
Trick to get play store and root on Phoenix OS 2.0.0
After installation replace system.IMG in phoenix os directory with this: https://mega.nz/#!rYBRlbLY]https://mega.nz/#!rYBRlbLY
Decryption key: 4x2UmG4Xq0r96u_7h_PwfqC5OjQNHR_Gv88fIL1d2BA
Extract it using any zip or 7z software
then download MicroG apps from here and install them all except MicroG store: https://microg.org/download.html
Give root access.
Then download google play store from here: http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google-...-apk-download/
Rename play store.apk to Phonesky.apk
After that download lucky patcher from here: MOD Edit :-Links Removed as per Rule 6. Do Not Post or Request Warez. XDA Forum Rules
Now install google play store as normal apk.
Then open settings, go to accounts, add account, google.
Sign in into it.
After that open lucky patcher and give root permission and click on rebuild and install below.
Then go to downloads and select the play store apk (Phonesky.apk) and install it as system app and reboot.
After reboot open play store and use it.
Will try to make it more simple ASAP
How can i get root permission?
On phoenixos release it doesn't have root access
Have your system image root access?
Hi
The file is not on MEGA (file no longer exist). Can you reup please?
Thanks
Almost there. I dont get the second last step "...and click on rebuild and install below". Where is "rebuild" option ?
Edit: Also I wasn't able to sign in after installing play store the first time, it just hung on "Just a sec...".

Don't wait anymore. visit their website you will have the solution. :laugh::good:
Well this solution works but you get msg from YouTube or twitch telling you need play services. I think microg is not 100% compatible with all apps.
Here is what you can do assuming you're rooted:
install lucky patcher, download from apkmirror playservices and framework compatible with your hardware, run lucky and click on rebuild, go to your download folder, click on playservices and choose install as normal APK, not system app, don't reboot yet, choose now framework and install as system app, reboot and login to your account. I used it also with latest 7.1 64b.. Enjoy
Yesterday, I installed PhoenixOS v2.5.9.375 on an old laptop, and I must say that I really like the Android experience on a laptop that I thought was too old to be good for anything. One problem that I am having though is that I cannot update Google Play Services which is preventing some of the GApps that I want to use from working. I tried using the instructions in this thread to fix the problem, but sadly they do not work with this version of the OS, and I get an error message saying "App not installed" when I try to fix it this way. I also so this, which looked promising until I learned that it requires a dual boot into Windows, and I am using PhoenixOS exclusively on my laptop, meaning that this is ruled out as an option.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
I am having the same issue with my Google Play Services, but the one I provided in the thread works with Google Play Games at least. I wonder why Phoenix OS comes with version number beginning with 070... This version is for x86 and for Android 4.0+ nodpi (according to apkmirror). Shouldn't Phoenix OS come with 270 or 480 since Phoenix OS 64-bit runs on Android 7.1.1 (32-bit runs on 5.1)? If so, my instinct is telling me that we have to forcefully install the updated Google Play Services (probably along with Google Play Store and Google Services Framework) to get it working correctly. This cold probably be done with root, so at least we know we can fully root the OS and work our way from there.
I have that problem also before... I downloaded the updated Google Play service in apkmirror, tried to manually installed it but still it wont install... But what I did in order to fix it is first to disable the Play Service on the App Settings and then I use Root Explorer to locate the location of the Gplayservice which is /system/priv-app/GmsCore. so what I did i rename the GPlayService that I downloaded into GmsCore.apk and then replace the app on /system/priv-app/GmsCore and change permission to "rw-r-r". and re-enabling back the GPlayService on that App Settings and reboot.... at Viola its fix... now I dont have an error on it anymore...

If this really works, then I will update my thread. What variant and version did you download? Can you provide a bit more information?
Thank you for the info, this looks very promising, please could you let us know which version you downloaded
Hi all,
This is how I got it working, several ways actually:
Using the toolkit http://bbs.phoenixstudio.org/en/showthread.php?tid=9661
Extract the system.img from the downloaded installation EXE or copy the system.img from your install directory
Make sure you download the GAPPS7.1 in the above post and put it in the \tools directory of the toolkit
Follow the toolkit to unpack/update GAPPS/repack
Copy the system.img back to your installed directory (C:\PhoenixOS)
Hacking it yourself
Download the latest GAPPS 7.1 PICO
Replace the APK in the GAPPS package over the ones installed on your PhoenixOS
Does this method require you to have a dual boot setup? Because I don't.
Android PC tool works!!
Used the PC tool and it worked flawlessly. On another note i have been trying to tinker with the OS and found out that the system cannot be mounted as r/w. Tried the command
Code:
su mount -o rw,remount /system
which gives me /dev/loop0 is write-protected mounting read-only. Is there any way fix to this.

Hi, I put the gapps in the tools directory, but I don't understand what you mean by follow the toolkit to unpack/update GAPPS/ repack. Am I supposed to make those folders? When I go to the unpack folder, just my system image is in there.
