Hello everyone. Today I want to share a special technique: how to install the Google framework on a phone in China.
As we all know, in China, for certain reasons, Google services are not easy to access. For users like us who want to make full use of a smartphone's capabilities, this is certainly a challenge. But with the installer I recently published on GitHub, it becomes something you can actually try.
In my GitHub repository, I have placed two versions of the Google framework installer. Because system versions and manufacturer restrictions vary from phone to phone, you can try them separately and see which version works.
Preparation Before Installation
Before starting, I recommend confirming a few things first:
- The phone already allows apps from unknown sources to be installed through the browser or file manager.
- The phone has enough storage space.
- Important data has already been backed up, in case something unexpected happens during installation.
- If the built-in app store or security center blocks the installation, temporarily allow this installation.
Basic Steps
- Open the GitHub repository link above.
- Download one of the Google framework installers.
- Find the downloaded installation package in the phone's file manager and run it.
- Follow the installer's prompts to complete the installation.
- If the first version does not work properly, try the other version.
- After installation is complete, restart the phone.
- Open Google Play or an app that requires Google services, and check whether login and synchronization work normally.
If it still does not work after installation, you can try clearing the cache for Google Play services, the Google Play Store, and Google Services Framework, then restart the phone again. Compatibility varies greatly between different brands and system versions, so this process sometimes requires several attempts.
Notes
This method is not guaranteed to work on all Android phones sold in mainland China. Some systems restrict background services, auto-start, or notification permissions, which can cause Google services to install successfully but run unstably. If this happens, you can check app permissions, battery optimization, and background running restrictions in system settings.
In short, the point of this experiment is not to solve every problem with one click, but to provide an entry point worth trying. For people who need Google services, as long as the phone can get them running, it is a journey worth recording.
