/system/etc/permissions/com.google.android.maps.xml;

Step 5: Copy the two files to the respective directories on your device using Root enabled File Manager.
(Gapps archive)/system/framework/com.google.android.maps.jar to (device)/system/framework/com.google.android.maps.jar
(Gapps archive)/system/etc/permissions/com.google.android.maps.xml to (device)/system/etc/permissions/com.google.android.maps.xml

Step 6: Set the permissions of both files to 644

Thank you very much for this tutorial.

It works great on my [ROM][HUAWEI OFFICIAL BETA][7D-503L]KitKat 4.4.2 / EMUI 3.0 / 400 DPI.

Not only i can install Google + BUT I can now install all apps i couldn't install before.

:good: :good: :good:

Can you set up two or more google accounts?

Sorry if I am pesky : good source for gapps?

I don't see why not.

good source for gapps?

I always find the latest gapps here on xda.

Not only i can install Google + BUT I can now install all apps i couldn't install before.

I suspect similar lib/framework files will work on fixing other apps that aren't compatible with the EMUI flavor of android.

2nd Google account is not possible with any current 503L or 501U ROM.
Workaround with setting up second account via Google+ is a cludge. No contact sync and no secure access.

If nobody knows, I will test next weekend.

thanks for sharing
my device is on the same ROM as yours
I don't use g+ but I have some issues with other google services
though I couldn't manage to replace .Jar files by root explorer but I replaced some files in "priv-app" folder with the same one from flashable gapps and it works perfectly

@mru55

Thanks for giving context to the 2nd google account issue.
I suspect this has to do with the huawei modified play store. We will need to flash gapps via custom recovery or make the modifications to the update.app file manually. Something I will be working on once a final release is out maybe sooner.

I could get Google+ to install but it doesn't work. It tell me I need to uninstall and reinstall the app, but the play store still says its incompatible.

The Google+ APK from the CM KitKat GAPPS is 6 years old, so maybe I just need to find a newer APK.

Yup, that was it, I downloaded Google+ 4.5 and it installed just fine. Nice....

Can you set up a second Google account? And see both in Google Calendar?

 

[vanngoh]

eh... i dont do all these to obtain google services.. i just download google services and play store.. af first it couldnt work, but after awhile it worked. it could even auto update my apps! no.more 'your phone req google services' error.msg!

im on.4.4.2 kit kat dpi 400 emui 3.0 china rom.
