The image on the download site works fine, with some noticible bugs, but the most painful bug to fix is the lack of Google Play Services and the Play Store. I tried to download the 230 Play Services from APKMirror, which is meant for Android L devices with ARM 7 SoCs.
I installed it fine, but it crashes every time I try to open the play store. Anyone having some luck with Play Store?
Hi, i’ve got it working… steps: https://www.google.com/url?q=https%3A%2F%2Fgithub.com%2Fcgapps%2Fvendor_google%2Fblob%2Fbuilds%2Farm%2Fgapps-5.1-arm-2015-07-17-13-29.zip%3Fraw%3Dtrue&sa=D&sntz=1&usg=AFQjCNH_bEqjicHfTpQ9O1Y16PQVFQmiDQ
mkdir system cd system unzip …/gapps-5.1-arm-2015-07-17-13-29.zip mv common/* . rmdir common rsync -av arch/* . rm -rf arch rm -rf META-INF cd … Then go to ADB: adb connect (YOUR DEVICE) adb remount adb push system /system
I hope i can help you, thats working for me fine 
have fun
How on earth did you find out how to do this and any idea why it isn’t part of the official build on here?
Cheers Mark
Hi All,
I followed @kawapiki post above with the help of this page for setting ADB on Ubuntu 14.04 http://bernaerts.dyndns.org/linux/74-ubuntu/328-ubuntu-trusty-android-adb-fastboot-qtadb
I did find that under ADB Linux connecting to the bananapi via USB, that I didn’t need to do the connect command.
Sort of verified by this page http://android.stackexchange.com/questions/113389/adb-devices-successfully-shows-device-but-adb-connect-usb-inevitably-fails
And you can check this be doing this:
Then go to ADB (Ubuntu CLI): #adb shell ls This should show your files on the bananapi #adb remount #adb push system /system
Sorry for the quick picture! Poor quality but it much give people hope!

I think thats not the same GAPPS.zip as i linked, anyway i’ll upload my working one just only need to copy it in system folder.
download and copy it
Big Thank you. It works.
You’re welcome 
kawapiki thank you for your job. This works perfectly for Windows with your system.rar file. Thanks again…
Thank you kawapiki for putting together the .rar file.
Installed it on my M3 and it just became way more awesome.
Now it is a full featured Android TV box that is fast.
Hi! I did everything the way it is written here but go to Google Play. I downloaded, copy the system folder but? What else should I do to go? Sorry for Englishmen.
I downloaded and copied and what should happen? I’m sorry but I do not understand the incomprehension professional.
