Can't install PrebuiltGmsCore.apk

I have a Galaxy Note 8.0 running a rooted deodexed stock samsung android 4.2.2 and I can't seem to install the PrebuiltGmsCore.apk,

I had this problem too on an Nexus 7 2013. It isn't really a fix, but since I have Tasker running anyway, I set a context for Google search and had the entry action press the back key. So the keyboard flashes up when I go home but then promptly goes away.

Not perfect, but a serviceable hack.

Alright, I got mine to work. I mounted my system as R/W, moved the .so file to my /system folder then moved it up to lib. Changed my Google Voice to English(US) rebooted and it's working fine now. Also I don't believe you need the PrebuiltGmsCore. I didn't install it and mine works fine.
[Android Apps and Games] diobando:
App not installed - PrebuiltGmsCore.apk got it working but need root. Instructions

Root is needed for this. Do this at your own risk. If your phone breaks I am not responsible.

1. go to data/app and move com.google.android.gms-1.apk to another folder (in case you need it later).

2. grab the PrebuiltGmsCore.apk and rename it to com.google.android.gms-1.apk then move this new file to data/app.

3. change permissions to rw-r-r

4. reboot

5. install the remaining 2 files (velvet and launcher)

I got a popup saying google services had stopped working between steps 1 and 2.

I also got the google search has stopped working popup but I changed the language to spanish and back to english and it is working fine now.

I used Astro as a file manager

Download the zip file

Use Astro to extract it with a long hold

Settings->Apps->All

Scroll down to Google Play Servcies

Uninstall Updates

Install PrebuiltGmsCore.apk

Install Velvet.apk

Install GoogleHome.apk

Go to langauge and change it to UK English

Change back to America English

Everything seems to be working fine

If your Google Play Services is at at 4.0.30 you probably don't need to install PrebuiltGmsCore.apk

[Android Apps and Games] Dovidhalevi:
GoogleSearch apparently will only work from its own launcher (on my armv6 phone). Immediate FC from Trebuchet or whatever but good on the GoogleHome stub. However, I cannot get online voice into it using the voice search assistant. With Swype, I can use its Dragon input but must hit search to do it. This is Nuendo's engine, better than any of them but unfortunately not "open" to other apps.

I would like more options in the launcher and am using Trebuchet's wallpaper. Xposed appsetting does not effect the app "launcher" (after all, this is just a stub to GoogleSearch--hey, set dpi to 100, font size to 120+ and get 5x5 grid and 6 across the bottom!). Where do I get the icons?

My Samsung Galaxy Note GT-N7000 has stopped working.

My Samsung Galaxy note gt-n7000 has stopped working. My galaxy note was running on android v4.1.2. I installed all apks & everything worked fine for about 2 days, then it got switched off & restarted on its own. This phone switched off again after few minutes. This happened again & again. So I uninstalled all apks & swithed it off. After switching it on I tried using stock 'Touch Wiz' launcher but the problem persists.

keyboard issues

I have installed the apks over a Nexus 7 (2013) kitkat installation, to get the Nexus 5 launcher. Everything went smoothly except when hitting the home soft key, as a few people have mentioned, the keyboard automatically pops up when the home screen appears. This, for me, almost makes it unbearable. I enjoy having Google Now available (as I am an avid Google Now enthusiast) right from the home screen.

Some information on the issue: It only happens when coming out of an app, not from settings or when hitting home from the app drawer. When you type on the keyboard it fills in the Search bar. My assumption would be when the home screen is brought up, it is focused on the search bar and it brings up a keyboard.

I have tried a number of things to fix the issue, such as enabling both Google Keyboard and Google Voice Input in the Language and Input settings dialog. I also installed the keyboard apk that was extracted from Nexus 5. I've tried a few other things as well. Nothing has seemed to work, though.

I am using the stock 4.4 for the Nexus 7 2013 which was OTA'ed yesterday.

Any help would be greatly appreciated..or anyone with any suggestions on how to get more information on what might be the reason behind the problem.

It says "Application not installed" when I try to install Google Play Services (PrebuiltGmsCore) on my SGS4. I think it thinks they are the same version, but when I check the versions, they are nearly identical, but they have different builds and are both 4.0.33.

Because not needed anymore. Just install the new Google search and home apk

And to install sideload play services you need to disable it first in security/device manager

BTW you can't install any Google Play Services version, for it to work correctly you need a specific version depending your screen resolution.

Last two numbers in version indicates for what resolution is intended.

32 = 420p

34 = 480p

36 = 720p
