So you’ve bought yourself one of the many Chinese made Android tablets? And the past few days youβve been playing with the pre installed apps and browsing the web, but now you want more! You really want to see what this tablet (or phone) can do!
It’s time to install the Android market and other awesome Android APK files!
How To Install the Android Market and other APK files to your Android Tablet
Instructions how to install the Android Market
1) go to settings > applications
The first item on the menu says βUnknown Sources: Allow Install of non-Market applicationβ check the box next to it. A warning will pop up just click βokβ.
2) Still on your tablet head out of the settings and open your browser and head to this web page (this actual web page they one youβre reading)

3) Download the Android Market
Here are the links for the .apk files. Choose either the English (it may not work) or Chinese and download from the links below:-
The download should only take a short time. Once completed click on the .apk file you downloaded and choose “install“.
The install should take a few seconds and you will get the option to open it.
Enjoy the market!
The same method will work for any .apk file and will also work if you install from an email attachment.
Possible problems!
If you choose to download and install the English version you may find that the application downloads and install just fine, but then wonβt open.
Try turning the device on and off and opening it again. If it still fails to open you will either have to βrootβ your device and install a proxy hack OR download the Chinese version. Luckily the popular free apps mostly have English names so it should be easy(ish) to use.
How did this work for you? Let us know in the comments section below!

Complete waste of time. The developer’s site does not list android 4.0 support, so I’m not sure why you listed it. The software just keeps prompting if it should try and install the driver over and over. I take it the driver installation fails, but who knows, it never prompts an error message.
Opps. I’m commenting about the wrong article. In response to this article, yes the links are broken. Even if they weren’t if you can’t read Chinese the Chinese version will be useless…

When I go to settings>applications all I get is a list of the apps I have already. Doesn’t give me options to allow install of non-market apps. Kinda frustrating.

Hi guys,
I bought my device in China. It comes with baidu preinstall and no sign of google.
I thought if I rooted it I would be able to install google services and then google play and etc.
I rooted it but when I run the APK for google services, it installs it and when I go to add an account (I tried both “new account and existing”) it gives me a error message:
“Can’t establish a reliable data connection to the server”
“This could be a temporary problem or your phone may not be provisioned for data services. If it continues, call customer care.”
Device details: “Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 SM-T815C”; Android 5.0.1;
I am using the device only with wifi at the moment. is there anyway to get google services, google play installed in this device? please let me know.
thank you!
