how to build .apk from 4.4.4 source? - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello
I am pretty new to this so please bare with me .
I want to install: Google Account Manager, Google Play Services, Google Services Framework and Google Play Store based off Kitkat 4.4.4. I did some research and I can find .apk for the above but I am not able find out if they are based of Kitkat 4.4.4 or not.
Instead of installing some random apk, I would like to create an apk of my own which is based off Kitkat 4.4.4. What all is required to get started? I am pretty novice to all these, please help me out.
Thanks

[Q]Can't use Google TTS rather than Pico

Hi,
I upgraded my ROM version (Stock) and lost my Google TTS service,
I only have the Pico one..
I do have Google Now and its working with the good smooth fluently unrobotic voice, but I can't make it to work with other apps..
I tried many kinds of apps but they all choose to use the Pico service (I don't have any more option in settings)
I guess I lost the .apk file on the system/apps for that..
Could anyone please upload that for me?
I don't know how its called, just upload everything looks familiar or has the word Google voice/TTS/text to speak/ speach/ idk..
Or perhaps you are familiar with that problem and know exactly what the solution for that is,
That would be great,
I'm running Android 4.2.2 on Sony Xperia Z (rooted with Stock de-odexed ROM)
Thanks ahead!!
Yarden.

Google Contacts, Dialer for Lollipop

I hope someone can help me install Google Contact app, the Lollipop one.
I have LG G3 Beat running lollipop 5.0.2, rooted with stock ROM.
I have its APK i was able to download somewhere (it's Google Contacts version 1.1 API 22 for Lollipop 5.1+, but it was recompiled by the uploader to make it work for Lollipop 5.0.x API 21 devices).
I was able to install it on my phone without any errors, so now I see LG's contact app and the Google Contacts app. but when I open the Google Contacts icon, it still opens the LG Contact app.... is there any other apk i need to install? like the content provider or whatever?
I want to make this work without any sync problems.
and where can I find the Google Dialer apk for lollipop too? and how to install it?
thanks!!!

Installing youtube on an old Samsung phone

I have Acer A500 with Android 4.0.3
I'm trying to install apk Youtube 11.01.70
Youtube won't run without Google Pay services
Google Play services is not present
I try to install apk Google Play services 14.3.69. When I try to install it, it tells me there is a problem parsing the package
Any more ideas?
Because you're using an outdated version of Android.
So it's not possible at all? I thought for an old version of Android I just had to find the right old version of the apps (apk) and installed them.

Even if you did that, it'll ask you to update your apps.
And you can't manually just add all the apps you need? (like Google Play Services in my case)
I find it surprising that this old Android cannot go back to the state it was 10 years ago, if I can get the same software (apk)
In general, the problem parsing the package means that your system software is too old to install that apk file.
Can't you upgrade your Acer A500 system software via OTA at first?
On the other hand, does your mobile phone system really have no built-in Google service framework?

Thanks for the idea. I have never done something like that. Where can I find a OTA image for A500? If you have any instructions for installation it would be also appreciated
Thanks for all the answers. To clarify:
I had Google Services Framework 4.0.4-278776
I just installed Google Play Services 8.1.04 (2215451-036) (036) (successfully, as per indications in this post)
I had install Youtube 11.01.70
When I try to run Youtube tells me that there is a newer version and doesn't go further.
This tablet won't run anything past android 4.0.3, at least without some hacks. With hacks this will run with android 5.1, thus allowing the installation of YouTube.
