I am trying to install the new Google Voice Search app, but I keep getting "install unsuccessful" on Bifs 1.5 Froyo ROM. I'd like to download the apk from the market, pull it to my computer then try installing from ADB, thats worked in the past.
So does anyone know the temp location that the apk downloads to?
There seems to be some issue with signatures on the APK. A workaround is here.
I didn't see a thread here, but for my Huawei S7 running S7V100R001C62B113 Android 2.2.2, in order to update Android Market, these are the steps:
1) Download an updated Vending.apk from anywhere
2) Get ZipSigner2 from the market, and resign the apk into a new apk file with the 'platform key' option
3) Run the APK file with a file manager. It will ask you if you want to update the system application. After the install is complete, your market will be updated.
Google Play Store works with the Huawei S7.
v3.4.6 Google Play Store is as attached...

Thanks for this update. I'm in query if this will work with eclair as well as froyo. Please advise me for the suitable version update.
Hi there.
I recentely re-flashed a CM7.2 official.
I want to get the cleanest device. I don't want any crap on. NO CRAP policy!
So, I wanted to roll without Google apps. No Google Play, no Gmail, no nothing.
Using the email.apk for mails, Opera as a browser, and only games and performance tool.
It works cool and extremely fast.
Only one issue:
Opera can't download new apps from Google Play (play.google.com).
Does anybody knows how can I download ONLY google play? Or some way to download apps from the store without downloading the full google apps?

Download the gapps package (but don't even put it in sdcard), open with a archive manager (WinRAR, WinZIP, 7zip etc) and extract Market.apk or similar (only the market), put that .APK in sdcard and install it from the phone (or you can download lastest market searching in the forums, but Market included in gapps for GB works fine anyway).
If you want to update (remember, the version you have installed is Android Market, not Google Play), just search market-updater.apk (or similar) in the package and push it via adb (I don't think it will install directly) to /system/app directory in your phone, and then reboot. Then, open the market and it will prompt to replace the Android Market (or after closing and opening again) for the Google Play store. The Market will not update itself without the market-updater.
Thanks a lot for the quick and informative relpy!
I do have a question though - From past experience, if I disable proccess like google-framework and such that contains the login information, the google play will not function at all. The login is bound to a different application, and I do not want to install these.
Is it possible by any means to download directly through a browser?

I think there is a add-on from Google Chrome that let download APKs directly to your computer, but if you meant to install via other ways in your phone, I really don't know because Opera (and others APK) require Google Play Store installed, and Play Store needs a Google Account to link all apps (free and paid) to your account.
Well obviously I understand I need a google account. What I mean is, I want to be able to log in to Google from my Opera and download apps from play.google.com. Right now it works up to the point of the popping-up download screen to verify my device, than I click download and nothing happens.
Newsflash:
I decided to give up and partially install market like you said. Got a new vendor.apk and installed it, obviously when I ran it just closed saying that I need a to sign in on my google account but since I had no google framework it didn't even offer to let me log in.
Installed google framwork too, now it gives me the sign-in screen and after I enter username/password it simply can't establish connection to the server.
Yes, I have checked and I have both a valid wifi and a 3g connection.
Any suggestions?
Edit:
Got it to work eventually, I hope it will serve my uses right.
Edit2:
I was optimictic too early
Now whenever I try to download anything with the Google Play Store it shuts down unexpectedly and does this until I manually enter the Google App info page and delete additional user data,

Egozy, the way I get rid of the crap is - flash the full gapps and then delete the apps I don't need (Email, browser, gallery3D and what not). BUT, there are apps that you can't delete and are related to the functioning of other apps.
What you can delete from CyanogenMod is covered in CyanogenMod Wiki - Barebones
Download GAPPS and install via CWM
i just flashed 4.0.4 ics to my A855 milestone, at first it seems that everything is working fine, but boy was i wrong
the phone feature won't work. so i assume text doesn't either. when i try to call it says "mobile network not available". in the stock froyo i remember on the lockscreen and notification pull down it would tell me my network at all times (telus canada), now there's nothing about it there.
and i tried to install the latest google apps which i found in rootzwiki, the download page was goo.im so that's legit right? i can't post the link to it because it won't let me..
all it installed was gmail, google talk, and google search. no play market. what are all the apps that come from the gapps zip?
anyways i tried to download apk installer from the browser play store, then get the play store apk file into my sd and install play store that way, but apk store just won't download for some reason, it says something like "this app will be downloaded to your device shortly" but nothing happens.
1. set Canada(Telus) baseband under Settings>Device>Advanced>Baseband selection and reboot
2. Use the gapps from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1445209
Regular gapps won't do any good to Milestone because of the limited space in /system. That's why I have to provide special gapps package for Milestone - most of it is installed to /data/vendor instead of /system (as mentioned in that post I linked).
Note that if you applied the gapps from goo.im, you will have to re-apply the CM9 update zip first, then install the gapps I mentioned above.
Tried asking this in the newbie Q&A, but no response.
I have updated my Fire 2015 tablets with the custom ROM CM12 (from 5.01). My sincere gratitude to GGOW and those involved.
The problem arises when I try to sign-in to my game (Clash of Clans). It states I requires an update to Google Play Games. The tablet downloads the update but then returns the message: Can’t Install App.
I have installed supersu# and according to Root Check the tablet is currently rooted. Per suggestions I found in this forum, I tried to install an older version of Google Play services using the apk from APK Mirror. I downloaded it to the SD card and tried to use the CM FileManager to run. I granted all the permissions it asks for but it states “App not installed”. The same occurred when I tried to install Google Calendar. It seems that other non-Google apps install just fine.
I am admittedly very new to the Android scene (we all have to start somewhere). Is there some method I can use to uninstall the version of Google Play services on my tablet and reinstall? I appreciate any suggestions.
I ran into a problem when i didn't have Google play games installed, trying to install play games from the play store would result in a fail so i installed an older version , try searching "com.google.android.play.games-2.2.09" they should be dated 28 Jan 2015 they should then update from the play store fine, it seems there's a couple of apps that we have to install older versions first but they update ok.
I have downloaded Google Play Games from an apkmirror and problem solved

Best solution
http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google-inc/google-play-games/
Google Play Games 3.5.17 (2463965-070) (x86) (nodpi)
Download the APK
put in a folder call it "GooglePlayGames" or whatever you want
Copy it to system/app/
Change permissions to one match of the other system apps so they are the same permissions on the folder and apk
Reboot and google play games will be installed

Thanks Ownster i was looking for that
Thank you Ownster! It worked perfectly - still not fully sure why - but I am very appreciative.
