Hello, I’ve tried installing these files, I had also tried on the previous ROM (believe it was 6.2?) but it failed then as well which I had hoped it would work with 7.3.4.0 installed. My MI5 also states I have Android version 6 installed if that matters.
I can install “com.android.vending_80310011.apk, but the other 3 files com.google.android.gms_6599036.apk (says its updating previous file), com.google.android.gsf.login_17.apk, and com. google. android.gsf_17.apk all state, “X App not installed.”
I’ve had this for almost 2 months and every android store install similar to this have all ended with the same results.
Could not launch google play. Sign in error. It says There was an error communicating with google servers.
Please help.
