:pushpin:Play Store Install - IMPOSSIBLE

  • No similar issues found.

Tried every way to install the Google Play Store and I am not able to:

  • Description: I have just installed Fyde OS to my HP laptop, I have been able to activate Android, but when I try to install the Play Store, both the automatic, and the manual steps do not work, and I get an error message. I am really ripping my hair out, and I do not understand why it keeps saying “Oops something went wrong”

I have followed every step, even tried renaming the file to “update”, I have tried every version of picolo to see if that helps, but nothing.

I do not understand the log message so any help would be soooo appreciated as I really need the Play Store.

Thank you thank you thank you! :slight_smile:

Did you download the right recovery image?

3

I believe so - Its an 11th gen i7 so I downloaded the “modern” FydeOS file and then did the flash image with that file.

4

I mean the chromeos recovery image. Did you not click learn more on the open gapps app before you click install?

5

https://fydeos.io/help/knowledge-base/getting-started/setup/install-google-play-store/ Read the part for android 13 users.

6

I feel like such a dummy. It worked. Thank you!!!
