I have some Android Froyo device not blessed by Google, so it doesn't have Google Play/Market or any of GAPPS by default and device maker won't make any firmware updates.

Is it even possible now to make Google Play/Market work with Android Froyo?

What is the minimal set of .apk, framework and lib files should I put in pertinent folders to enable Google Play on my Froyo device?


I don't want to put all of gapps from goo.im:

  • I want to conserve some space on device (small built-in SD CARD),
  • I think that some of them may be malicious (Virustotal detects EnhancedGoogleSearchProvider.apk as Android/GoManag.A)
  • I believe that there is some resonable minimum that works anyway
