How to get Google Play on the Cube i7 Remix

The rom on my Cube i7 while it is in English, lacks Google Play and China doesn’t have access to the Play store so often Google Play and Google services are simply left out and not a part of the roms build.

After messing around trying to manually install Google Play on my I7 Remix, I found a quicker solution and that is to just flash an English overseas Cube i7 Remix rom that has Google Play included. Problem solved! It’s just like flashing another other Android rom to an Intel atom powered tablet using the Intel MFG Flash Tool.

Flashing this rom requires a Windows computer. Download the latest Google Play i7 Remix Rom:

Then install the drivers and Intel Flash Tool. Now in the download you will a CUSTOM_CONFIG.ini file and a reghack. Merge the reg hack (double click it) which will set the correct device ids and move/copy the custom config file inside the Intel Flash tool folder in C:\Program Files (x86)\Intel\Manufacturing Flash Tool

Reboot your PC just to make sure the drivers take. Now once up and running again run the Intel MFG Tool as administrator and select the Flash.xml file in the i7 Remix Google Play Rom folder you extracted from the down here.

Put your i7 Remix into DX mode. Power it off and reboot hold Power + Volume up.

Now connect your i7 Remix to your PC and make sure you use the DC 5v microusb plug and not the OTG one. Wait for it to finish, then select reboot with the volume buttons. Now have Google Play and the June 10th Remix OS update. Enjoy!
