I have successfully installed Google Play Store on my Jolla phone. But not all Apps are shown.

Like the Raser Nabu X Utility.

How can I install it then?

Apps not in store? Just tap them after download in a filebrowser or in the transfer screen (be patient installing or asking for installation may take several seconds to respond and each tap tries to install again and again)

As @Whippler said, incompatible apps do not show in stores, you may download them but some just wont work.

it might not show up because its not compatible with the android version Jolla uses. But you can always download the app from playstore trough this website http://apps.evozi.com/apk-downloader/ Probably doesn't work for paid apps tough, dunno.

According to this app's store page, it requires Android 4.3 or higher. Unfortunately, Jolla's Android compatibility layer has level 16 Android API (4.1.2). Source: http://reviewjolla.blogspot.fr/2014/06/techspecs-android-on-jolla-phone.html
