Hi, recently I've upgraded my Galaxy S5 from Lollipop 5.0 to Marshmallow 6.0,1 manually with Odin. Luckily I succeed installing it after a few errors. Now the only problem I'm facing is that my phone keep asking me to update google play service and I've tried in Playstore but no update found and moreover I installed the latest version of PLAY SERVICES.apk but I still receive the same update message.
Can anyone of you recommend me a most appropriate version of Google Play Services version to be installed ?
I can't install the latest version or update from the Google Play Store because it says the app is incompatible with my device, and the version on my phone is several generations old from what is currently in the Play Store. Does anyone know how to update to the latest version? I'm stuck with the ugliest skin with the version installed as a system app.

Hello, please help me, how is the latest version of Samsung keyboard on the phone
Samsung Galaxy S8 Install Samsung Keyboard 4.9.00.7
Because in the latest version of the Samsung keyboard, it is also possible to translate.
I want to update Samsung messages to the latest version. New icon New UI
But Package name error occurs each time.
Anyone can Help ?
The same happens to me. The app is not compatible with the one that is already installed. The only way to install it is having root access, or waiting to a new version that hopefully would be compatible.
I need some help.
I got a Sony Xperia XZ2 Premium, it is a Chinese version and doesn't come with Google Play (Play Services, Play Store, etc). I've been trying to install the required packages and been having some issues.
First, I've heard I need the following packages:
Google Account Manager,
Google Services Framework,
Google Play Services,
Google Play Store
this list was originally posted for a different android device, so I'm not sure if it is the same requirements or if there are additional.
I've installed various packages and versions but I get errors.
1) Can someone who owns a Sony Xperia XZ2 Premium (or has access) with Google Play to provide required packaged names and versions that are compatible?
2) Does anyone know if those packages are the right requirements? Is there others that I don't know about?
3) Does anyone know if Sony (or in general, other manufacturers) have something that prevents Google services from running properly? Like, maybe because it was released in China (and Google services are not allowed), is the phone has something installed that stops it? (Does this kind of thing happen?)
If something like that happens, I'm guessing root or something like flashing the ROM to a different/international version..? something like that? I'm not familiar.. can someone provide some info please?
Additional information for what I've installed.

I installed Droid android info app, The cpu architect is arm64-v8a. I downloaded the above Google Services from apkmirror and installed them.
I tried the following versions:
(**note: below version, I went to Bell store and looked at their XZ2 models, and grabbed the versions they were using. They didn't have a XZ2 Premium model so I'm not sure if there's a difference or not)
-Google Account Manager 7.1.2 (the XZ2 model didn't have this installed)
-Google Services Framework v8.0.0-4147944
-Google Play Services v14.3.66 (040408-213742215)
-Google Play Store v12.3.19-all[0][PR]218276083 and v12.3.30-all[0][PR]219141239
Usually I install Google Account Manager first, then Google Services Framework, once I install Google Play Services, I get an error that constantly pops up "Google Services Framework has stopped" and keeps stopping.
I don't know if there is something else that's preventing them from working properly (like manufacturer thing?), do I have the wrong version, or maybe I need some other additional services to work properly???
How did you end up with the Chinese version. You can try flashing the firmware to a different region that has the Google play store. I have the Hong Kong version and I flashed the US version

I have HK 8166 and don't have this issue, flash it with a different FW
Thanks for the replies.
I bought it from official sony site in China. I use the phone in both China and Canada, but everything in Canada depends on Google Services..
Anyways, I haven't found proof or documentation, but I am pretty sure Sony has added something that prevents Google Services to run on the CN version of their ROMs. But I got this conclusion based on testing (installing different apk versions, etc..)
If anyone has official info or way to confirm, it would be great to know (and reference on how to find out in the future).
So I think the only ways are either rooting or flashing to HK or US firmware as mentioned above.
When you flash the firmware, do you need to unlock the bootloader?
I understand that in most cases, you need to unlock bootloader to install ROMs not signed by company (Sony), like custom ROMs..
But in this case, you are flashing ROMs provided/signed by Sony (HK, US, CN, etc ROMs for the H8166 model), so is unlocking bootloader needed?
Also just wondering, does Sony officially provide the firmware ROM images? (maybe for backup/restore or something)?
I only know Developer Sony (developer.sony.com) provides AOSP images but I didn't see anything else from them.
I am currently using a workaround, which I don't need to root or flash FW. It is using Google Space (They renamed to X Space recently), which is an app that is like a Virtual VM + VPN. Google Services is installed in that environment, and apps are downloaded/installed in that environment too, which allows to run with Google Services. It's not bad so far.
Just flash, as i did, the uk fw (for example) with flashtool. Pick the version you can find in my discussion link in the previous page. You don't need to unlock bootlader to flash another region fw.
Hello,
As the chinese firmwares are more up to date than the eu ones, I want to use them on my Z17s.
Unfortunately these firmwares exclude the google play etc.
When I tied to install playstore with some installers I found, I'm not able to finish the google sign in to install the google account on the phone
Anyone has a solution to get playstore working??

If you like the stock firmwares and don't mind messing with TWRP and then Magisk (to be able to use things like Google Pay, etc) you may try this firmware, compiled by a Chinese user that combines Android Pie and NubiaUI. It began with NubiaUI 6 but was recently updated with version 7. It's the one I'm using right now and works like a charm:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/nubia-z17/how-to/android-pie-rom-nubia-ui-6-0-nubia-z17s-t3994419
You will have to install the corresponding gapps along with the firmware, but it works.
