OpenGapps is what you need. I'm unsure whether you'll have to root first or not though. If I had a spare Karoo then I'd have tried it myself.planet_coke wrote: ↑Mon Jun 18, 2018 9:56 amdid somebody find out, how to pick and deploy the Google Play Services on the device?
How to install third-party apps on your Karoo

I rooted, but I don't think you have to. OpenGapps is correct from a package standpoint and you'll install via TWRP, assuming you've unlocked bootloader and enabled USB debugging. In the more current versions of the Karoo firmware I had to delete the Karoo NLP app to get it running properly, but relatively straightforward.
Re: How to install third-party apps on your Karoo
I'm trying to download the Dropbox .apk on my iMac to install it on the Karoo. If I download it directly or request it send an email with the link, I'm only able to get .dmg packages for OSX. I've installed Osmand, Switcher and a couple others with no issues. Is there another repository of the Dropbox .apk that will enable downloads to a desktop Mac?
Thanks,
Dan

Re: How to install third-party apps on your Karoo
I installede Xplore file manager and upon startup it asks to Allow or Deny access to files on your device. That Allow/Deny popup will only allow me to select Deny. Also PI Music Player does the same thing. Any ideas how to Allow an app that needs access to file locations?
