Updating Google Services in an existing WearOS ROM?. is it possible? - Wear OS Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Another user has created a ROM for an old WearOS watch that was running 1.5. There is a sync issue with older watches that requires an updated Google services APK to be installed to the watch using ADB. The google services version on the watch is v8.x so not recent enough to fix the sync issue.
What would I need to do to bake in an updated google services apk into an existing ROM? or is that not possible.

[Huawei p8] Google products not working

I got my Huawei p8 from china having base version GRA-UL10C00B230. I have noticed that Google play store and other google products will not work all of a sudden. On click of google play store, just it will flash and go off. I came across few posts on internet and followed the same which involves clearing cache, uninstalling google play services updates etc.. but still problem is not solved.
Is there any better solution for this problem or should i remove the base ROM and install global customization version? please suggest.
Once i tried to remove the current ROM but there was some rooting issues.
Kindly suggest.

Google Fit not installing to Wear

I can't seem to get Fit to install to my Moto 360, I've tried uninstalling/rebooting/reinstalling and resyncing installed apps through the Wear app. Is there a place to find the Wear version of Fit in an apk that I can sideload? Or if I just sideload the regular apk will it install the Wear version correctly? Thanks in advance.
I have the same issue on moto360ii must be a new bug. Just happened recently.
Found on another thread in the Moto 360 forum, the latest Fit apk wasn't compiled with the Wear app. Downloaded version 1.59 from apkmirror and now it loaded to my watch with no problems.

[REQUEST] Facebook Messenger 99.0.0.20.136 Resigned (no playstore updates)

Hi everyone.
I really dislike the messenger layout since v100 and would like a way to return to the older one without google play to remind me every day there's an update.
So I downloaded Facebook Messenger 99.0.0.20.136 ARM version from APK mirror and used zipsigner/apktools to resign the apk (so playstore wouldn't suggest updates anymore).
But whenever I try to install the newly signed apk, it says there's already a package with that name... When I unstall Facebook app itself, I can install it just fine.
Anyone any idea why com.facebook.ocra is telling the package name is already in use while when I uninstall com.facebook.katana everything works? And how I could solve this?
Update: it seems to work fine on my Samsung Galaxy S5 running android 6, not on my OP3 running android 7

Google swrvices and purevpn

Dear all,
I just bought a Huawei Nova in Shanghai (chinese version). It has 5.1 emui. But no google services. Ive tried to download and install them and gave all permissions but still not able to start. Also i did install purevpn apk but it is frozen again at the beginning. It is about android 7? How can i solve this problem? Best,
Probably it's the same story as with Xiaomi phones with Chinese ROMs. Google is banned in China that's what you cannot use it. Try to find official international ROM for your device and flash it.
Hiapp has a modified google play and google play services. It worked on my device in China on EMUI 4. Not sure why the apk is force closing. Do they have options to set up the vpn manually?
hank you but i do not want to flash a rom. i found out that purevpn app is freezing when i was trying to start hiapp's google play. after removing it, it works but slow (nothing to do here). but still sad about google play and other google services part.

I now run LineageOS on my phone, so I have flashed GApps. Before that I was on EMUI 4 and it seemed fine with HIapps google. There is a free VPN called zerovpn and I got that to work in most places (again I am also in China).

Android P cannot update APPS from Google play store.

Just flashed Android P, I can login in Google account and Google play store. but once I wanted to update my apps or download them from Google store, I cannot download any of them.
anybody got any ideas on this? Thanks a lot.
