There have been several ways bantered about and many are still having no luck. I have done it several different ways and it has worked for me. To make it work you need five different APK's. They are Google Play Services, Google Play Store, Google Services Framework, Google Calendar Sync, and Google Contacts Sync. You can download these individually from APK mirror (http://www.apkmirror.com/) or download the Google Installer_V2.0 for MIUI (http://xiaomitips.com/download/google-installer-app/). This is an all in one installer and is in Chinese, but if you just select the button at the bottom of the app, the install will start. Do not open any of the services yet when the APK's install. You will need to reboot your device at the point everything is installed.
Upon reboot, simply select Google Play and login. I hope this helps. When you install the rom, via TWRP, make sure everything is deleted and to are doing a clean install. You can then install SuperSu for root. It already has a Chinese version installed, but when I ran root required apps, I was notified that root was not installed. Once you have root, you can uninstall all the Le-bloat.
Hello. I installed the 5.8.015S ROM, but when i want to install the Gapps or play store, is not working, constantly it gives me an error message, (something with Le Eco....) and i pass through normaly, only with I reinstall the ROM. I don't make a full wipe (i'm afraid to connect the phone without any operating system installed because i don't know if is possible to see the phone in PC ). Now, i'm without Play store and other else...
There can't be anything, such as Google accounts on you device or the install will fail. That is why I suggest a clean wipe.
Today I installed the 5.8 ROM to the phone. I try several days before, but everytime the play store it takes me errors which need to reinstal the ROM. First time (some days ago) i installed the ROM after 5.6.0.13S, only with cache and dalvik wiped. Not any chances. After that, i reinstall, again only with cache and dalvik wiped, and i try different GAPPS from opengapps.org (pico, nano, micro, mini, full), and i try the Google Installer V2 for MIUI (Xiaomi). No chance to work, every time it take me errors with "google play stop working, please send the error message" on a blank page, and i don't have any possibilities to pass through, only to reinstall the ROM. So, today I wipe everything from phone, (cache,dalvik, data, system, internal storage, everything) I say: one of two, or it works, or i brick the phone After that, began the fun ) It take some time, almost half day I can't see the phone with adb try diferent drivers, diferent commands in command window When i put the phone in Fastboot Mode, not comunicate with PC. When it was in TWRP, the adb it detects, but I was unable to push something in internal memory, in one specifical folder, only in /root. So, i put the 5.8.015S and the Super-SU on /root and i install with TWRP first the ROM and after the Super-SU. Reboot, and i put the Google Play Services, Google Play Store, Google Services Framework, Google Calendar Sync, and Google Contacts Sync from apkmirror (Thanks to jim262 ). I follow the steps from first post and from message received from jim262, I DON'T OPEN ANY OF THESE UNTIL FINISH AND REBOOT, and after that the playstore is working. HOWEVER, WHEN I TRY TO UPDATE SOME APPS, I RECEIVE THE ERROR MESSAGE THAT SAY GOOGLE PLAY IS STOP WORKING. But is not stopped, only the message appear, and i have possibilities to close that message.And the contact sync is not work, i don't know why. Maybe because i freeze some LeEco bloatware with Titanium Backup....Same thing with Application Permision....
Go into settings, account management, your Google account and check to see that the sync is on for your contacts.
To make contact sync work, download and install this APK :
http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google-...-apk-download/
After that, go to settings, App management, look for "Google contacts Sync", Permissions, and "tick" Contacts
Now it should work.
There is an even easier way, install either the Indian version of the stock rom or Team Spain's Revolution Rom. Both work, run 5.8_15s and do not have the Chinese bloat, plus have Google Play pre-installed.

I just update to Android 5.0
When i enter Google Play it says i have to do an Obligatory Autentication ( I mean Autenticacion Obligatoria) and it doiesn't let me donwload anything, also when sync my Google Account it says it has some incidences, also i can't erase my Google account because i don't have permission. Also it says in a Notification that an App neds to be updated by Google Play services but i csn't because i can't enter Google Play.
It seems like they shouldn't release Lollipop at least for Nexis 4

If you already have a google account and its misbehaving, either do a factory reset and set up your phone again. Or try adding a second google account and then erase the original account. The Google playservices notification is a bit of a bug, try downloading the latest apk from apkmirror and install it.
Ok, but the think is that i can erase or add a Google account, when i try to erase it it says that Device Manager is active, i try to deactivate it but nothing, also i downloaded the apk but when i try to open it it says error
Also i want to do a factory reset but i have more than 1000 songs i don't mind about other things, i just want to save my songs, but when i connect to my computer with Windows 8.1 it detects the Nexus but i can't see the files, it doesnt prompt anything.

Check in Device Manager on your PC, if the phone shows up as an Unknown Device, you need to install/ reinstall the usb drivers. For windows 8.1 try the Universal ADB drivers (google for the link).
The solution to all Lollipop bugs is to uninstall Google Services and then reinstall and updated apk, i was plagued with all of this bugs, i managed to deactivate Android Device Manager and i uninstall Google Services, all of my Google Apps were gone it was pretty weird so i install a Google Services apk and now its smooth as f-word, i will never buy a Nexus cause of this but if all updates were as fluid as know i would love all of this but i had many headaches because of all the trouble that updating cause to my N4.
Had a similar issue with the OTA update this morning. You need to get the latest version of the Google Play Services apk. Check this thread for the download link posted by Hashim. You need to check the correct version for your phone. Its a 30 mb file and takes around 20-30 min to install. All the bugs you mentioned were fixed on my phone.

So basicly my google store stops working every time i click install on any application.Its like it crashes.I rooted my phone and blocked some applications because i thought i dont need them like KNOX and google movies or whatever.I had problem first that google play store was unable to connect to server.I changed this with etc folder changin some ip or whatever.But in the process one of the steps was to delete google play store and reinstall it so i did this then reinstall everything was good untill i tried to install a new application.The problem is not in proxy nor VPN i reset the phone with fabric settings clear chache,data on services store and framework , logget out and in on the google account enabled download manager and all the popular steps there are.I Think i screwed the google play store by reinstalling it and the system files and i dont know how to fix it.As i said my phone is rooted so if someone can guide me through fixing it.The problem with crash is mostly when i try to download app.Thanks in advance !
I suggest starting over by reflashing a stock ROM, flash TWRP, root, and then use titanium backup to freeze apps.
Installed modded Play Store (through Lucky Patcher), install succeeded but Play Store would say not connected to the internet when launched, installed different versions of modded play store gave me the same result, gave up on modded Play Store and uninstalled it though Lucky Patcher and tried installing multiple versions from apkmirror, same thing, app installs, then tells me not connected to the internet when opened, so I thought Google Play Services was at fault, so I uninstalled both it and the Play Store through Titanium Backup, and even though I no longer have either installed, Play Store icon was still on the homescreen (won't launch though), did the Nougat update thinking it would overwrite the system partition and fix the issue, still the same.
Have though about flashing gapps, but thought it was too risky to install on non-AOSP, so now I don't know where to go from here, Help Please?
of course. Just download it via browser
Playstore ( unmodded ) : http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google-inc/google-play-store/google-play-store-7-3-07-k-all-0-pr-139935798-release/
Latest Play Service for x64 @480 DPI : http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google-inc/google-play-services/google-play-services-10-0-84-release/google-play-services-10-0-84-448-137749526-android-apk-download/
These are the right versions, no clue which you tried.
If youre on CM or the error still remains , download OpenGAPPS by any mirror and let it download the full AROMA package for x64. Flash the zip via twrp and select both missing apps. Watch your steps here, it asks you which to install and which to remove. For me the Aroma Control is a big buggy. You have to play with the volume rockers and the power button to go through the setup.
By the Way : I recommend to follow Google INC there to get the latest beta versions pre playreleased
For the future...
I would not recommend messing with Google apps and Lucky Patcher. This app can really mess up your accounts.
I also don't think it is allowed to discuss any Lucky Patcher related issues on these forums since large parts of "activities" that this app is used for are not completely legal.
The so-called modded APK from theirs can't be installed as it lacks a certificate. However if you achieve perfection after signing the APK and using their "second" method the following message persists:
Code:
Authentication is required. You need to sign into your Google Account.
reference:i63.tinypic.com 2ex1ug7.png
I used one x86 ver of Phonesky, it could do well with Play Store WITHIN ONLY A FEW MINUTES. Then it showed "Service stops. " The modded APK looks promising, there must be some other tricks to bypass the Google Serivce check.
I finally succeeded in ROM'ing my phone, Samsung Galaxy S4 I9505. I'm now running RR-N-v.5.8.3-20170502-jfltexx-Official.
I used TWRP to ROM my phone. During the ROM process I also installed OpenGapps and selected "Install TWRP on Reboot If It's Not There Yet". But, I was nevertheless left with a phone without any GoogleApps and without TWRP. I tried to install open_gapps-arm-7.1-aroma-20170324.zip and it seemed to be going well. I was presented with the "what do you want to install" screen. I went with the defaults. In this case did the defaults mean "install nothing?"
Questions:
How do I install the correct version of TWRP?
What is the correct version of OpenGapps and how do I install it?
I also need to install Titanium Backup?
I have Android SDK and ADB installed on my Linux laptop. I briefly tried it out and it seemed cool, and it communicated with my Android device.
You already HAVE TWRP installed. Without TWRP you can't flash any ROMs, gapps or any other shenanigans. So if you say you don't have TWRP, how did you flash the ROM?
Default gapps are a BIG package. You may not have enough space for it. Besides, do you even need every single Google app present in the default package? I doubt it. The only thing you truly need is the Play Store and the framework to make it work. Everything else is optional and can be downloaded from said Play Store.
Thanks, this time I successfully rebooted to TWRP and did the GApps install again. This time I did Checked-And-Green to select the Gapps I want. But I still don't see any Gapps in the launcher. Why is that?
Oops, I installed GApps Stock version, I was glad to see the apps successfully intalling, but now it's like I have a Google Phone. Many Google Apps I don't need or use. Now I'll have to re-Flash RR and figure out how to install only the Google Apps I want (Google Play app store, Inbox, and a few others). Mainly Google Play so I can install Titanium Backup. Maybe I'll see if I can download an APK for Titanium Backup and then restore the apps I want.

try the nano GApps package, or micro package.
they have just what you need.
or try the aroma package, in the Aroma package you get to choose what you want to install.
Open Gapps Micro still begins the first reboot in a Google phone mode, that's disappointing. Also, I'm required to type in fields like Gmail address and password, but apparently I don't have a keyboard app only entry by voice. And I am unable to enter the email address because it does not allow me to vocally spell an email address. I liked the Resurrection Remix theme and launcher. How do I get back to that after I flash Open Gapps?

the "Google phone" expression you're saying is a must have in all android devices, if I'm not wrong you're referring to the setup wizard, the setup wizard is there no matter what phone you have, if you factory reset you start with a similar setup wizard.
the keyboard issue isn't a GApps fault, it's a ROM fault, keyboard should exist no matter what GApps you flashed, anyway if you want to skip the setup wizard, then try flashing the ROM only and let it boot then double check everything including the keyboard, after that boot into recovery and flash GApps.
the phone should now boot with GApps installed and you will directly see the lock screen of the phone...(no setup wizard)

Use the smallest package and download what you need from the play store. I already suggested this in my first reply when I said "you don't need the full package".
Open Gapps Aroma worked better this time. I selected only the Gapps I thought I need, but it was a complete enough selection that when I was given the Set-Up-Your-Google-Account I had a keyboard to fill in the fields. Then I selected the Trebuchet launcher which is the RR one I liked. Then I began restoring my apps using Titanium Backup. So far things are going well.
In Gapps Aroma, to install the app, it has to be checked off and green. The default, checked off and grey, means it will not be installed. That's confusing.
I have problems downloading files in some apps (Tapatalk, 4PDA...) and installing apps from Google Play on Nubia Z17 Lite - the download stops working at one time. Sometimes it helps to change the WiFi network, but sometimes I have to clear Google Play and Google Play Services cache and memory and reboot the phone. Does anyone know of any lasting solution to this problem? Thank you in advance

I have the same problam. Help
I had same problem.I go to apps and force stop Google play stroe and Clear data.Also i do same to Google Services and fix my problem every time.I hope Nubia fix this with update
I am also having problems with Play Store and Google account synchronization - it worked fine for a few days, but then Play Store stopped downloading/updating any apps (it is stuck on Downloading, but doesn't start to download anything) and synchronization to my Google Account doesn't work.
I tried various methods, like rebooting, removing data&cache of Play Store+Google Play Services+Download manager, uninstalling/reinstalling Play Store & Google Play services, removing/re-adding my Google account, wiping cache+dalvik from TWRP, but nothing helped. Then I realized that when I kill SwiftKey process, it started to work instantly. It seems that SwiftKey is blocking Google services mainly when I have synchronization to Google Account enabled. Then I noticed the same problem with Google Contacts app.
I suspect that it may be one of Nubia system apps what is causing these problems.
What I found is some text in a Russian forum, translated using google translator, it can be worth of trying to disable that app cloning service:
For what it's needed: firstly , for those who do not use cloning, this is an unnecessary functionality; secondly , this chip conflicts with Google's synchronization (for example, with the G-board keyboard) and in general with all Google services. Who does not care about all this, you can not read further.
What you need: TWRP or root-access, PC and ADB
1. Delete CMVirtualbox.apk (located on the system / priv-app / CMVirtualBox path ) or just rename / delete the .apk extension to ease the rollback.
2. Connect the phone to the PC, run the command line (all the necessary drivers must be installed, debugging by USB is enabled, the start is made from the ADB folder), we write the command:
adb shell pm remove-user 10
and press enter. After success, reboot for persuasiveness.
As a result, cloning will be disabled, G-board keyboard messages "Synchronization on devices with G-Suite account or Android for work profile is not supported" will not appear any more and Google services will work more adequately. Successful to you of samples!
PS For rollback just return CMVirtualbox.apk , reboot, and everything returns to normal.

For me, the problem was resolved by uninstalling SwiftKey. For some reason, it blocks Google services and just stoping it's process or hibernating it using Greenify solves the problem immediately. Maybe it would help also to use sync with Microsoft account instead of Google in SwiftKey settings. I saw a similar issue also with Google Contacts app (Nubia Contacts works fine).
Since switching to Gboard, problem didn't appear again and Google Play and sync works without any issues.

You are welcome Although not rooting it would be pity...With root it is easier to get the phone into more useable state, like background apps not getting killed to get notifications on new messages properly etc. It helps to turn a few apps into system apps and/or add them in ProcessManager database as protected apps.

I think there is no detailed step-by-step guide, but you can gather information from threads about this phone. You mainly need to have ADB drivers, unlock bootloader, flash TWRP and from it flash Magisk.

LATEST UPDATE: Now I'm stuck in the "Nubia...Powered by Android" start screen. This happened after I tried to install v1.05. This opened the TWRP screen in Chinese. I selected the bottom-right button and then again the bottom-right and chose English and then rebooted.
I can still get into twrp mode by long pressing the volume down + power keys.
What steps do I need to take to make the phone boot properly again?
-----
-- I posted this section below earlier before I had this boot problem
--
I finally found the time (and the courage) to try this out.
SuperSu was installed so hopefully I didn't miss anything. Does it mean that the device is rooted?
I can successfully get into su mode with a terminal app.
Also, I have two root checker apps. One is showing that the device is rooted, and the other shows that it's not.
All my apps and settings remained as they were.
IS THIS OK? I expected that the process will wipe all the data.
I didn't flash majisk. IS IT NEEDED IF THE DEVICE IS ALREADY ROOTED?
And lastly, I still can't download from the play store
Any suggestions on that issue?
Thank you so much

How did you install v1.05? You need to do it from emergency recovery using OTG cable/adapter, not from TWRP.
If you went from LineageOS to stock, you need to wipe data from emergency recovery, because the storage is encrypted.

1. You can try wiping data & cache partitions.
2. Use that emergency recovery and flash zip over OTG from there again.

I already tried that.
The problem is that in emergency recovery mode the thumb drive that is connected with OTG cable is not recognized.
In TWRP I can mount that drive, but in emergency recovery mode its not mounted.
UPDATE: I tried different USB drives. One of them mounted. I found that this one was formatted in FAT. Since this is a small 2Gb drive that cannot hold the ROM, I found another drive that was formatted in ExFAT that also loaded correctly.
I loaded the ROM as suggested and now the phone is working again.
My guess is that the phone can't read NTFS file format in emergency recovery mode.
Thank you!!!

Yes, NTFS is not supported very well on Android. Use just FAT32, that should work fine. ExFAT also works only somewhere....

In that case you probably don't have SwiftKey installed - it is not installed by default But if Play Store doesn't download and Google account sync doesn't work for you, it may be some different app causing the deadlock. You should go thru all apps and force closing them one by one...when you kill the problematic process, Play Store will start downloading immediately. You can do it from Settings - Apps, or use some app for that.
I really appreciate your help.
I forcefully disabled all apps but the problem remained.
