How to create account for Android Market?

Ok so I just got my Milestone rooted yesterday and installed iceandfire custom rom on it.
After doing so, I found out that there's no Android Market app installed on it. After a quick Google search, it seems there is no official download link for the app, and that it only comes pre-installed on certain devices, not all of them.
Anyway, I did some search and found that I can easily install it by just downloading the .apk file and use Astro (which comes pre-installed with iceandfire) to install it. I found the link here:
http://www.theandroidsoul.com/downloadinstall-new-android-market-apk-application-v-3-0-26/
So I downloaded it and it installed fine. I then launch it and it pops up a message saying I don't have an account and then I need to sign in or create one. I click on OK to create one but nothing pops up. I rebooted my phone and did it again, still the same thing. I'm not sure what the problem is, but I've tried many suggestions, mostly from here:

and none of it works. Can someone give me some help?

You need to first flash Google Apps (gapps) and you will get the Market and other Google services. You can create a gmail account on your computer and use that to sync with your phone.

Ya I already have a Gmail account, just couldn't figure out how to get it to work with Android Market.
Hmm I also did find some info on gapps, I downloaded it but couldn't install it using Astro. Do I put that in the updates folder, the same as where I put the custom rom, and then apply the update? Would I have to remove the custom rom first to prevent it from flashing my phone again?

YOU HAVE TO FLASH GAPPS !!!
Do it like you flashed Ice and Fire and any other MOD in OR !!
Some times it's very important to READ a Thread and don't only search for Downloadlinks.

yup, got it flashed and installed successfully. Now I have another problem, I can't seem to get it to sign in? I get this message:
"cannot establish a reliable data connection to the server. This could be a temporary problem or your sim card may not be provisioned for data services. If it continues call customer care"
At first I thought it's probably my connection, so I tried using 3G instead of WIFI, but still the same thing. I then tried to create an account but it gave me the same error, so I can't create or sign in at all.
I did a quick search and people have said it could be that the SIM card or your service provider doesn't support it or something. Which doesn't make sense as why would setting up an account like this be relevant to your service provider? It's just the same as setting up an exchange or email account on any device.......also, while I was still using Windows Mobile on my Xperia X1 or HTC Touch Pro, I was able to install Android on it and went through the same setup process and got it working properly. So I don't think it's gotta do with the SIM card....

[Q] Apps can't update or download....

Hello all,
I'm having a bit of an issue where I can't download or update anything from play store or anywhere else really. Things start downloading and then when they near completion and get to about 98%, they get stuck there and eventually give an error that they cant download. It's only happening on my new Lollipop install. I flashed the 23.1.A.0.726 ftf file on an unlocked bootloader and i am running it on Androplus advanced stock kernel v2.
I've not has this issue on a similar version of kitkat that I currently have a back up of on the same phone. \I'm just bouncing between the two when i get some time to try and fault find the lollipop version. Obviously I want to move to the lollipop version permanently but i will only do that when I've sorted out this issue.
I cant seem to find anyone having the same issue. I've tried the following methods but they didn't work....
First.
Quick toggle pull down
Settings
Apps
Swipe left to the "all" catagory
Scroll down till you find "Google Play Store"
Force stop
Clear data
Now try the play store
If that doesn't work
Try
Quick Toggle pull down
Settings
Scroll down to accounts
Tap Google
Tap your account
Tap the settings menu (three dots in the upper right)
Remove Account
Back out to the settings screen
Add Account
Google
Sign in with your Google account
Does anyone have any other possible solutions to this or know what the hell maybe going on?
Thank you!!

Have you removed/disabled/freezed any apps?
--> Make sure you have not freezed: PackageInstaller, DownloadProvider, .....

Thanks for the suggestions. I had a look in system apps and both of these are there and unfrozen.
I'm actually trying to run LP 5.0.2: Massive DEBLOATING/23.1.A.0.726 custom FW for Z3C -all working (xposed etc) by moly82. I've tried a full wipe and install via recovery and still i cant get any apps to actually fully download and install. They all get to 99%and then never install for some weird reason.

did you finally solved somehow your problem?
try to flash the latest ROM from moly82 (v4): http://forum.xda-developers.com/z3-compact/general/wip-debloat-lp-690-correct-functioning-t3076161

[Q] Has anyone with root gotten Android Pay to work?

I'm rooted 5.1.1 and wanted to try and activate Android Pay since my bank is supported. Found some workarounds people were posting online, but they seem to not work for certain devices/roms. Just wondering if anyone here has had success.

Nope, I've tried everything short of flashing from ftf. I'm also curious if anyone's had luck.

Tried rootcloak for hiding root to Android pay?

Disable SuperSU in settings, setup android pay, re-enable SuperSU - worked for me.

Android Pay + Root?

Yes, that's exactly what I did. Are you receiving 'unable to add card' or 'could not verify system' (something like that.)

Guys i had this issue and then i flashed a PRF zip and set up android pay and it worked fine. Then i enabled xposed and all i think it came with supersu but i didnt use any root apps before setting up Android pay. But now i tried to use it and it said my card was not supported... maby my bank??It worked fine on Google Wallet. So i deleted card and was gonna re add it but now cant get past the error message again. I have rootcloak and disable device check xposed modules still no worky. Please let me know if you find a fix.

Update to OOS 5.0 - Can't answer calls, dialer green/red swipe not appearing

As title says, I just upgraded to Oreo with OTA and I can't answer calls.
I can hear the phone ringing but nothing is displayed to accept/refuse the call.
I also tried using Google Dialer as a replacemente but nothing appears there too.
Dialer is present in the apps, and I can use it normally if opened. But even if I start a call from there I can't close it because the screen with the running call (the one with image and bottom keys for speakers, etc) is not appearing at all.
Phone is rooted with Magisk and TWRP.

Keeping your data intact please try to flash the full OOS 5.0 rom. OTA update might have screwed the system.

I tried again with Google Dialer and it's working. So it's a problem with stock dialer. Can anyone send me the stock dialer APK from OOS 5?

Are you by any chance using the 'Enable Native Call Recording' module in magisk? If yes, then get rid of that.

No, I knew that already. I only have the default ones that come with magisk (auto_mount, system, module.prop, update).
I think I just need to reinstall the stock dialer, but can't find the APK and I don't know how to extract it from the full zip system image.
I'll keep the google dialer in the meantime.

Try to clear dialer data. It same as reinstall

Im having the same issue, so let me know if you figure out the solution.

No problems should be there after upgrade.
This shows a problematic Oreo setup.
Better have a factory reset so all apps will be installed correctly.

Did you guys solve the problem?
I'm having the same problem and have enabled call recording using magisk. I tried upgrading to 5.0.2 and still the same. Please advice.

Update GApps on stock 2.2.1?

My wife recently asked if I could get her Nook up and running again. I updated it to 2.2.1 and got the device running properly again. When I went to add her Google account though it won't work. It appears that the login page is invalid. Some digging online it sounds like Google stopped supporting that version of Android. Is there any way to update the Google apps or spoof the android version to allow it to login? She just wants to be able to use the Google Books app and the library built up there.

Unlikely. The typical means for signature spoofing start with KitKat and the stock OS is Jellybean. Also you would need to root to try anything like that.
I've used microG to do what you suggest on a Nook Tablet but that was with an updated custom ROM and root.
