Installing Google Play Market
1 option
You can install the Play Market application by simply launching the finished file with the *.apk extension. The only condition is that the new and previously installed versions of the program must have the same author. Only this approach to installation will allow you to avoid the risk of an error associated with a mismatch in the signatures of the installed and installed files.
Option 2
Download the installation file and rename it to either Phonesky or Vending. Choosing a suitable name depends on the type of device you are using:
- if the device runs on GingerBread firmware, then select the name Vending;
- if the device runs under ICS\Jelly Bean\KK firmware, then select the name Phonesky.
Using the convenient file manager® Root Explorer, move the new file to a folder called system\app. We answer the question about replacement in the affirmative. Remember - the system partition must be mounted as r/w!
The next step is to change the access rights of the new version of the application to rw-r-r. This is very easy to do - in the properties, select the Permissions\Permissions item and uncheck all unnecessary checkboxes. After removing the marks, exit the program.
We clear the cache. You can find the cleaning item in the Play Market properties. Be sure to reboot, because without a reboot the functions necessary for stable operation of the application will not be activated!
Note! The methods listed above are not suitable for those people whose devices have MIUI, AOSP or CyanogenMod software shells installed. If you want to switch to these types of firmware, then know that you will additionally need to flash GApps (a carefully selected set of applications, which includes the Play Market).
You must install the Play Market in compliance with all the above rules. Any error can lead to unstable operation of a popular program or even to the inability to launch it.
