Location of Google Play Store? - Shield Android TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi, I want to change the Nvidia Shield TV's native play store app with a modded one, but I can't find the location of it. I am rooted and I have looked in system/priv-app , but I can't find it. Does anyone know where exactly it is located and its name?

It's in Priv app, and it's usually called Phonesky

Interested In What sort of mod for Google play store you have

If it's been updated, it'll probably be under /data/app/com.android.vending.

Thank you, it's called "com.android.vending-2" under the route that you specified. But my experiment didn't work out, since this is a folder, and I have a file. Inside the folder there is "base.apk", but changing it doesn't seem to work.

I finally installed a mod Google play store which works (it must be rooted). It is the one modified by ChelpuS, and it is installable.

How did you get the new one ? I still have the old play store, version: 3.10.14.
It updates automatically. There's probably a way to modify the play store to disable it from updating.

Install the old apk and then follow the instructions in this article. It's old (the screenshots are of Sense 2.3 or 3.0 if I'm not mistaken) but I think it should work.

Thanks. I had a look but unfortunately there is no market updater to freeze.

Ah, that may be a slight flaw in my method. Sorry, in that case I can't really help you. I couldn't find any equivalent looking apps in the settings either.

I don't know if this is a tried and tested method but on two devices I use, the Play Store both updated after I made in-app purchases.

Hi, I have downloaded the ChelpuS Google Play Installer, but when I run it, it says; "root access not found! Installer cracked google play need root access to work" . I haven't uninstalling the google play yet. My question is :
1) Can I uninstall Google Play Store (4.1.6) by using Titanium Back Up?
2) If I had uninstalled Google Play by using Titanium, will it make the ChelpuS installer work?
3) Do I have to uninstall / install other things beside the Google Play?
I'm using TWD_MID tablet. It is rooted. I've already installed the Root explorer and Titanium Backup. Would be grateful if you can answer my dumb questions. Thank you.

[Q] Play Store

Hi guys,
I've been using OmniROM for some time now and I'm liking a lot. I like their open source "philosophy" and so on but lately, I'm facing a problem that I cannot solve by myself.
I'm trying to find a way to install Play Store to gets some apps that I want/need but I don't want to install all the other Gapps that comes with the packages. I managed to get the apk but after installing it, I don't get it to work. It tries to start but before it even opens, it closes quickly...
Do I need something else in order to make it work?? Google services maybe? I wouldn't like to have more than Play Store if possible.
Greetings!

I believe PA gapps has a "micro" version which has the bare minimum needed for Play Store.
(FYI, most if not all of the Omni developers use PA Gapps - tkruzze does a great job.)
OK so I'll have to flash the Gapps...
What I don't like is that they overwrite some aosp apps :\
Ty anyway @Entropy512!
Edit: What about installing Play services + play store?? Would that be enough?
Enviado desde mi Edison mediante Tapatalk
By the way @Entropy512 or anyone else, do you know which files are imperative to install Google Play (Google Play itself, GP services...)and which aren't? (Google tts...) I would like to install just the needed ones only.
Greetings!

TKruzze provides multiple packages for the GApps, and most of them don't overwrite the AOSP apps.
In fact, as I read it now, only the "Google Stock Package" do replace AOSP browser, Calendar, Camera, Launcher, TTS, Keyboard and SMS by default by their Google products' counterpart. And there is even an easy way, using this package, to prevent some or all the AOSP apps to be replaced -- read TKruzze's posts to find out how.
The other packages don't overwrite the AOSP apps (except AOSP Calendar becoming replaced by Google Calendar). By default, they install the Google apps along side the AOSP ones.

Yup. That's why I suggested the "micro" package - I'm fairly certain this doesn't overwrite anything and includes the absolute minimum for the Play Store to work.
Now what is annoying is that some of the Play Store versions of Google apps have the same package names as AOSP variants which causes conflicts. Google Camera is one such example, which is the reason I'm in the process of renaming the AOSP-derived camera package in Omni.
Thanks guys, I'm gonna try out those options and see which suits me better

Could you upload an apk? Is it just the apk or are there any other tweaks you did?

Here is an arm 64 bit version for our Honor 8's. Let us all know how it goes.
Update: Too large to upload. So here is the link from apkmirror. Of course, one uses at their own risk.
http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google...p-6-13-5-16-alpha-arm64-android-apk-download/
How in the world did you get that working? Installing this apk just updates the version of the Google app I had.. I don't have any personalization in the settings window.
Nothing changed for me. Maybe it's because I have UK English or something else, but I'm running Nougat on my Honor 8, so not sure what else it could be.
Changed to US English and cleared the local data cache. Made no difference...
Any ideas?
Yes, very interesting.
I tried installing that too, but didn't work for me.
I think people are trying to figure out what triggers it. Could be location, language, some combination of settings, or some lucky number in the IMEI.
But hey, that's cool, enjoy it.
Hopefully it will roll out to everyone soon.
Still nothing on mine. Have tried all sorts.
Has anyone else gotten this to work by installing the Google Alpha that was linked? If so, what did you do to get it working?

Which model did you have ? pixel launcher?
Common sense that, this kind of apk need to be install in system app folder to make it work.

chinese honor v9 : how can I add google services ?

hello,
I bought the honor v9 in Macau last week. It is beautiful, but useless as google services are not available, so currently all I can do is use it as a paperweight
Is there a way I can add google account info, play store and services, or is there maybe a standard android rom I could use ?
I've tried adding the corresponding apks to no avail.
regards,
nicolas

Just type Google to hiapp and download the playstore.
Also you must download contacts and calendar sync and give all the permissions.
Google Play Store doesn't work
Thanks for your reply, I've tried that after a factory reset but it doesn't work. The play store doesn't start, it opens but stays blank, can only see it when i press the open applications button.
Previously i had tried to duplicate my honor 8 using huawei's clonephone app, everything (all apps) was transferred but no Google app works. I think it is because Google Play services is missing, and I can't find it on hiapp (and google doesn't show the honor v9 in my list of phones so i can't do it online).
Previously i had also used apks to install the whole suite in the right order, same problem every time. Some apps open but entering my Google id is always impossible.
I guess I should root the phone to install gapps, but given that it is very recent i haven't found and instructions to root this model.
I'm running out of ideas
Looks like that you shouldn't buy phone in China, if you want to use google services. Maybe you can download google play apk from apkmirror.com, for example and then install it from sd card?
Go to the Hiapp download GMSinstaller (will uninstall all google service instances and reboot). After that download playstore for the hiapp market and you are good to go.

Maybe you can install Google with Google installer for the Xiaomi device I think that might work
Very hard...haha, you open hiapp, install gms, open it, auto reoot, after you open hiapp again and install google play store, open it, done.
you can try GMSInstaller it works for me just fine
I guess Huawei started the confusion through removing the gmsinstaller app from the store. Here is a link from the Mate 9 Forum! Works perfectly on the V9
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B64ADSfC5LHbMHdlZ2ZONVhXVWM/view
I've had this phone for a few days, loving it, but even with the help above to get Google services, Im having real issues with syncing, Google play store having problems authenticating me etc etc...I've removed and added my Gmail account 20 times already but still a struggle. Any help on that would be awesome? And as a bonus if anyone knows how to stop Hivoice hijacking Google assistant as the 'assist' app that'd be awesome too
Thanks in advance of any help
Here one , it works great for me

Error 504 in Google play and can't install apps through Terminal

I've recently moved over from a galaxy s6 to lg h870.
Device:*lucye****
Model:*LGE*LG-H870****
Android:*7.0
Rooted
Xposed*v89
I can't install almost any apps Google play store returns -504 and any APK download online shows its corrupt when installing (I can install random games like crazy taxi Tycoon from the play store).
I've tried everything on the support page (clearing cache and data from Google play, play services, play services framework, dalvik-cache.)
I've removed my Google play account and still not working.
I tried to install the APK through a Terminal emulator but all I get is:
[INSTALL_PARSE_FAILED_UNEXPECTED_EXCEPTION: Failed reading classes.dex in [email protected]: META-INF/MANIFEST.MF has invalid digest for classes.dex in classes.dex]
