We had a while back, right after it launched in India. Only a few weeks back, Espoo’s first bold entry into the low end Android smartphone segment was.
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, and soon enough, enterprising developers who got their hands on the Nokia X, devised a way to install Google apps and services onto this neat little device. We followed their path, and made a video, so that willing users can take advantage of it too – As you can see from the video above, the process is pretty simple, and we owe it all to a thread from XDA, which nicely details the steps to root, as well as install Google Play Services on your Nokia X.
Anyways, this is what we did – How to get Google Play Services and apps on the Nokia X Step 1 – Root your Nokia X. Use Gandalf Exploit – Open the Framaroot app and click on Gandalf You have to select SuperSU in order to root the phone.
It is a simple one-click process and does nothing other than enabling root on your phone, without the need of a custom recovery.

Step 1.1 – Root your Nokia X v11.1.1 Apparently Nokia have fixed the security exploit that we had used for the earlier rooting method, but again, hackers have found yet another way.

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.
