Root, wipe, flash ROM + Gapps.
Gapps contain all the necessary
Files / framework for Play Store.

if your internet provider doesn't allow access to play store in china get a VPN SERVICE based on somewhere else and be happy

Getting Google Play Store on international Samsung Galaxy Note 4 (China)

Hello. I just got the China version of Samsung Galaxy Note 4 (SM-N9100).
It doesn't come with a Google Play store. How do I go about installing the Google Play Store?
I downloaded the 5.0.32 version apk of Google Play store, and I installed it.
But when I run it, it closes or crashes. I found that apk by searching these forums.
So I was wondering if I needed to do something to make it work?
For HTC One I simply looked up Google gms in the HTC Marketplace and installed it, which ended up adding all of the Google stuff (including Google Play).
The Note 4 phone comes with a Galaxy Apps, but searching inside it does not have a Google Play installer (nor Google gms equivalent).
So my question is:
Do I need to root my Samsung Galaxy Note 4 in order to get Google Play to run? It currently closes or crashes when I try to run it.
Did I install an incompatible apk for my Samsung Galaxy Note 4?
Again I am referring to the China version of Galaxy Note 4 (SM-N9100 model)
Hi, I have the same problem also. SM-N9100 does not support google play store, youtube, etc. I guess all china andriod phones is banned from access these apps. The only way out is to install another rom. Please let me know if a suitable rom is available. Thanks.
Samsung N9100
hi all,
In have the same issue. I rooted my N9100 and installed Google play services, google services framework onto the system / app folder. Changed the file permission to a system app but still wasn't able to get it running. There's an error that says the Google services framework can't be run. Maybe I install a wrong version ? Anyone can shed some light and point me to the right apk ?
There are two ways to do it
Method 1) Typical GMS pack includes a lot of junk/google bloatware:
  1、GenieWidget.apk
  2、GoogleBackupTransport.apk
  3、Gmail.apk
  4、GoogleCalendarSyncAdapter.apk
  5、GoogleContactsSyncAdapter.apk
  6、GoogleFeedback.apk
  7、GooglePartnerSetup.apk
  8、GoogleQuickSearchBox.apk
  9、GoogleServicesFramework.apk
  10、LatinIMETutorial.apk
  11、Maps.apk
  12、MarketUpdater.apk
  13、MediaUploader.apk
  14、NetworkLocation.apk
  15、SetupWizard.apk
  16、Street.apk
  17、Talk.apk
  18、Vending.apk
  19、VoiceSearch.apk
  20、YouTube.apk
so install only the apks that you need
These apks below are required in order for Play to work:
GoogleBackupTransport.apk
GoogleFeedback.apk
GoogleServicesFramework.apk
MarketUpdater.apk
Talk.apk
Vending.apk
Copy com.android.vending.apk from \data\app to \system\app\, then turn on “Owner, Group, Other" permissions for it
Method 2)
Go to http://dl.pconline.com.cn/download/86344.html and download a auto install pack
Note:
I have not tested both methods!!
You CANNOT uninstall google framework and other bloatware once gms is installed
If you live in China and don't have VPN, don't even bother with since its all blocked
No success with Method 2 on the Note 4 (9106w). It installed it but I kept getting a Google Frameworks Stopped working error. I was able to log into my Google Account and open the Play Store but could not get a network connection. In the end I disabled Google Frameworks.
Will try to flash TWRB with Odin tomorrow.

So did you install the Method 2 app AND the app from the link you added. Hence, do I need to install both apps?

I downloaded a 44+ mb file. After unzipping it on my phone I saw a folder with many files. Did you move all the files into similar folders on your phone? I installed the apk packages and regretted it. No success so I imagine I should be using adb to push them to the proper folders.
Any hints would be helpful.
Hi,
Can I check with Samsung note 4 you tried on ? I am using N9100 rooted and just tried the link you provided i.e. V1.5. I installed it, followed the screen instructions and the phone rebooted. Upon reboot an update was run. Unfortunately, Google frame work services and stopped. No luck. I wonder was is the issue.

Hi,
Can I check with you which Samsung note 4 model do you have and worked ? I am using Samsung Note 4 model N9100 (rooted) and just tried the link you provided i.e. V1.5. I installed it, followed the screen instructions and the phone rebooted. Upon reboot an update was run. Unfortunately, I got the "Google frame work services and stopped". No luck. I wonder what is the issue ? I check the file permissions of the Google Services Framework and it was consistent with the rest of the apk files in system/app
I got the same problem. After rooting and install V1.5, I can install and open the google playstore. But there are nothing in the playstore..except retry icon.

Few questions about future software updates (Lollipop) since I've been away from Samsung for a while:
1. Rooting will trip Knox, right?
2. If yes, OTA updates won't work - would I still be able to flash via Odin or CWM?
Not sure if I will definitely root yet due to warranty issues so soon after buying.
As noted above, Google stuff here is a pain at times even with a VPN (location options don't work so Google Now is less useful).
Plus, I've become used to getting apps from the Samsung and Amazon stores instead.
