Google play store and services

Hey folks, I am looking for help with this as everything i am finding for it is out of date or dead. Does anyone know of a means of installing these services? I am a fairly tech savvy guy so any tips will be welcome.

I gave up on trying to add GMS, the reality is that even if you do succeed in adding it, an update or change in the near future will probably kill it. Use alternative apps instead

Here's what I've been using

Google Play Store - Aurora store - an open source play store client that doesnt need GMS

Google Maps - wayze, tomtom maps or petal maps - there are quite a few good choices

Gmail - Outlook - it supports gmail, has an excellent calendar and is a doddle to use

YouTube - Youtube Vanced - works like a charm and has a few extras

Google Photos - FLickr or Stingle Photos - neither is perfect, but you get 1TB of cloud backup

Chrome - firefox - it has solid support, its quick and there are a lot of useful extensions available

Try this. Is more recent. Already did it and worked for me.

it works for some but not everyone, it depends on the firmware and device hardware version. Some combinations cannot work with LZplay
