The phone might be running Android, a Google owned entity, but is completely devoid of anything that resembles Google services. Nokia completely forked the open source variant of Android, just like Amazon did, by choosing not to include Google services and apps, which are obviously a conflict of interests for the company. But being open source, the malleable Android is always willing to bend to our will, Anyways, this is what we did to Root Nokia X -
How to get Google Play Services and apps on the Nokia X
Step 1 – Root your Nokia X
[Reboot]
Step 2 – Download a file explorer to make changes in the root directory
[Reboot]
Step 3 – Install Google Apps
Step 4 – Enter Google account in settings
And you are done. Nokia X will now happily work with all the Google services and apps. You can install anything you want now, just like your Android phone, everything except the Google+ app works for us. But we think it will be a lesser preference, when other things work perfectly well.
It is a reasonably simple process to perform, and things go smoothly for the most part, but please do not mess up the steps because we, or the XDA folks, will not be responsible for any kind of damage to your phone. With that said, this painless process has a high success rate, so don’t worry and if you are craving for Google apps on your Nokia X, this is the easiest way to do it.
