Nokia is an innovative global leader in 5G, networks and phones. See how we create the technology to connect the world. Nov 16, 2017  But don’t you worry at all, we will guide you through the whole process that how to google play store free download and install google play on your Android device and again start enjoying the luxury of downloading unlimited apps and games on your phone. But before going in to details we would like to clear some confusion about version numbers of Google Play Store in the next section.

After failing everyone’s hope for a long time, Nokia finally jumped on to the Android platform when nobody was expecting it from them, especially considering the fact that it was only recently purchased by the software giant Microsoft for one purpose only — Windows Phones. Nokia is the only exclusive manufacturer of Windows phone that Microsoft has so Nokia’s move to Android was surprising in many ways.

However, Microsoft did plan it in a way that couldn’t possibly help Google in anyway. The Nokia X phone series by Nokia is dedicatedly tailored for Microsoft cloud services, giving the software giant a good chance to flaunt their services to Android users.

The Nokia X doesn’t run a single Google service out of the box and nor is it a Google certified device. Nokia has gone the Amazon way with a dedicated Nokia Store for its Android range of smartphones to let users download and install existing Android apps. Although not all apps would be available in the Nokia Store, but plenty would make to it. And then Android has always allowed for side loading of .apk app packages, which the Nokia X supports.

Anyway, if you’d like to check out the Nokia Store on your current Android device, we’ve got the Nokia Store APK to share. You can install it just like you’d install any other APK file but since it was supposed to be running on a Nokia X smartphone, it won’t work on your Android device, at-least not until you make some tweaks to your device’s build.prop file.

Download link updated with a tweaked version of NStore APK that doesn’t require build.prop edits. Just installing the APK does the job.

EDIT BUILD.PROP FILE

You must have root access on your Android device to be able to edit build.prop file.

NOTE: Keep backup of your existing build.prop file since you won’t be using the Nokia Store for long, and you’ll be required to restore the existing build.prop file to make sure your device functions normal. Also make sure to take a nandroid backup before attempting to edit build.prop file as it could easily soft brick your device if not edited correctly.

Below are things that you need to modify in your build.prop file to be able to use Nokia Store APK on your device:

ro.product.model=Nokia_X
ro.product.platform=Nokia X software platform 1.0
ro.product.brand=Nokia
ro.product.name=RM-980
ro.product.device=msm8625
ro.product.board=7×27

Reboot your device once you’ve made the above mentioned modifications to the build.prop file on your device. After reboot, open the Nokia Store app. You should be able to use it.

Nokia Store is growing at a very fast pace and there are more better apps and games being introduced into the Nokia Store. However, none of the Asha device launches in 2013 (Asha 501, Asha 210, Asha 206; etc) are supported by Nokia Suite so users are not able to download Applications, Games and other content to their computer in order to transfer them to their phones. Now as we understand that each user cannot have data connection on his/her phone especially if the phone is a Nokia Asha which is already made for people on tight budgets, here’s the way to download Applications, Games, Themes, Tones; etc from Nokia Store directly on the PC.

Downloading Applications from Nokia Store on PC

All the content from Nokia Suite can be easily downloaded, except if the app/game is a java app for which you’ll be provided with a jad file which requires the jar file in order to be run on the phone. Follow the complete tutorial below.

1. Open store.ovi.com on your PC and sign-in to your Nokia Account. There is a sign-in link at top right of every page of Nokia Store.
2. Search for the application, game, video or anything that you want to download. If you know the app url, open it and skip to step 4.
3. Click on the search result of the item and open its page. The URL (Address Bar) will show something like:
4. Now click on the URL and remove anything it has after the content code which is 229223 in case of above URL and append /download/ after the content code. See the edited URL below for better explanation
5. Hit enter or tap on go when you have finished editing the URL.
6. The download for that particular content file will begin and all you need to do is to copy the file to your phone and start enjoying 🙂
   In case you’ve received a jad file, continue reading.

Getting the JAR file in case of Java Apps

The above method works very fine till the content downloaded is not a java application or game. In case of java apps, you’ll only receive a jad file which only includes the info about jar file (actual app/game file). Follow the steps below to get the jar file.

Nokia Android Phones

1. Browse to the folder where the previously downloaded jad file is saved.
2. Right click on the jad file and choose Open With> Notepad. Or else if you have a text editor like Notepad++ installed, open it in that. The point is to get access to the details of the app/game.
3. In the jad file, look for a field called MIDlet-Jar-URLand copy the URL written against it.
4. Open your internet browser and paste this jar url in the address bar. Hit enter!
5. The download of jar file will begin. Transfer the jar or both the jar and jad file to your phone depending upon your requirement and enjoy the game/app.
