Thanks for posting this. I’ve encountered a problem installing google installer 7.1.1-3515457 , it wont run due to “Can’t downgrade apps”. How do you overcome this?
This is on Mix 2S MIUI 9.6.5.0.
To answer my own question, a lot of these gapps were already pre-installed on my mix 2s so but execute the installer where it will attempted to install older version of apk which I guess there is not reason to downgrade. To me, I just manually downloaded and installed most recent yet stable apk. I’d encountered google contact sync issue which I’d then referenced to this link: https://www.androidpit.com/how-to-sync-google-contacts-with-xiaomi-miui
thanks for the tips. As long as you have Play Store installed, you can then download any other gapps from there.
