Anyone ever figure out a way to get the game to work on the touchpad? Without changing a bunch of files?

I was reading that someone managed to get the palm pre version worked on webos.... Perhaps that might be a better and easier way to get this working.

Failing that is there a one (or two maybe?) Solution to replacing some files and rebooting? Forgive my Android noob knowledge but something akin to a batch file could do this perhaps?

That way the method motoki suggested wouldnt be so bad at all.

It is totally possible to sideload google apps without Rooting on version 6.2.1. It is a fairly simple process but needs to be done in the correct order.

1.Open Settings

2. Select Device

3. Turn on Allow Installation of Applications from Unknown Sources

4. Download GoogleServicesFramework.apk and install. You need to download the correct version or it will not install. I apologize for not having the version number but currently it can be found @ www.mediafire.com/?4ykd6rdikmz5l8c

6.Download books.apk - Do Not Open

7. Reboot

8. Open Books and add google account. This even works with multiple accounts.

9. Shortly after you should have a notification requesting permission of your google account. Click allow.

10. Sideload Google apps of your choice. See below for options.

Google Apps that work

Google Music

Google +

Google Books

others...

Sideloading Google Apps

1.Sideloading Google app of your choice

1a.Find on filesharing website i.e. 4shared.com, filestube.com, etc.

1b. Backup from another device and use drop box to access

1c. Transferring apk via USB

2. Open .apk file and click install

This will work flawlessly if done in the right order. Remember GoogleServicesFramework.apk install, books.apk, reboot , open books , add account, and voila.

If I have helped you please thank me.

Enjoy.....

install lookoutsecurity before installing apps from third party warez sites............or just root it and use android market
[Kindle Fire General] DeerSteak:
This is fantastic. Once I have books installed and my gmail account synced, will I be able to just grab a Market apk to sideload and then get everything I want from the Market?

I've been back and forth between the Nook Tablet and the Kindle Fire as my cheap tablet to buy, and the Nook Tablet took a big hit when they disabled sideloading. I think the Kindle Fire is popular enough that it will also be a target for an official CM9 release as the CM9 project gains steam.
[Kindle Fire General] mtorres:
Cannot install GoogleServicesFramework.apk :(
[Kindle Fire General] krelvinaz:
The subject of the thread is wrong Misleading.

You can't install the GoogleServicesFramework.apk into /system/app where it needs to be in order for it to work without having root access.

Update:

You need that GoogleServicesFramework.apk to do things like Android Market, Gmail etc...
[Kindle Fire General] bus_ter:
You can only install a few google apps without root access. The Market Place requires root access, which you can't get with the latest version of the kindle software (6.2.1)
[Kindle Fire General] leebo:
If you are rooted and have Market already installed, will today's update make Market stop working?

If you have GoogleServicesFramework.apk installed, will that cease to function?

Will it break the wallpaper change fix?
[Kindle Fire General] bus_ter:
Depends how you installed/updated it. All files in /system/app get replaced. If you installed the market place and it has since updated itself (installing to a different location that doesn't get cleared with the update) then you should be okay. Had a fresh install of the Market Place following online guides to copy it into /system/app then a good chance it will stop working.

Mine still works, because my gmail still works which requires it.

I don't think so
[Kindle Fire General] patrickem:
Install this, just like a regular app. Fixes broken already installed Google apps, including market. http://db.tt/FAexFhgV
[Kindle Fire General] bus_ter:
Really? I doubt it. (will test later..)
[Kindle Fire General] a1exus:
where do i get books.apk ?
[Kindle Fire General] bus_ter:
OK I tried. This is just the googleservices.apk and installing it won't get your Market working if it was broken from the update to 6.2.1.
[Kindle Fire General] patrickem:
It worked fine for me.
[Kindle Fire General] lstern:
Google Currents

I lost root and Google Currents after 6.2.1 update. I still have a functional Android market and Gmail. Google Currents won't install now. I get an error stating missing Google library.

Any suggestions how to reinstall Currents. BTW, I was able to install Google Books successfully. Thanks.
[Kindle Fire General] bus_ter:
I reinstalled the 'GoogleServicesFramework.apk' (the version I had installed previously, not the one linked above). It installed fine but I get The application Market has stopped unexpectedly Force Close when I boot the Kindle, and also when I try to run the Market place and Install an app.

Until I ran the GoogleServicesFramework.apk I didn't get the bootup error. I ran the installer from the sdcard, previously (with root access) I was able to copy and run it from '/system/app' which I think makes all the difference.

---------- Post added at 11:44 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:40 PM ----------

Does your Gmail still update itself and show new email notifications without you having to open gmail and manually refresh? I think though Gmail still runs the service that runs in the background has stopped post update.
[Kindle Fire General] lstern:
Your correct. Gmail no longer auto updates. When opened it shows "no conversations." Thanks for your reply.
[Kindle Fire General] FireJunior:
I had 6.2 rooted but got updated to 6.2.1 even I amended the hosts file and rename the Silent apk to bak, also with TWRP 2.0 installed. Anyway, I re-install the GoogleServicesFramework.apk, and I can access the Android Market again.

I tried to use the GoogleServicesFramework.apk link provided in this thread, but it didn't work. The original one worked, so I am happy to be able to access the Android Market again.
[Kindle Fire General] movieaddict:
didnt work for me

Very important! it now works, u must have the right google frameworks, if it installs u have right one. Then dont use the vending apk, i use the apk that said market apk and it worked perfectly, market now works.

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Accessories] bucketachicken:
I have only had my Zaggfolio keyboard/case for a few days now, and by and large I am quite happy with it (other than the shift-space language change, anyway to turn that off?). Had my tab since a few days after launch, but hadn't bought a case for it until now as I hadn't had a need to take it anywhere for an extended period of time, but this Christmas I am visiting the in-laws, and well...'nuff said.

Anyway, I was letting the keyboard charge earlier, but upon removing the cord from it I heard a snapping noise, like something broke. The charger seems fine, and plugs into my phone still with no issues. However, when I plug it into the Zaggfolio keyboard, it only will charge if I hold it at a certain angle. I think something inside the keyboard that holds the micro-usb port may have broken. Has anyone else experienced this? Should I try and exchange it (bought locally at Best Buy), or what do you guys think?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Accessories] Kirru:
If it were me, I would go take it back and exchange it for another one. I just bought mine today and so far I like it. Though the keyboard gets in the way for me sometimes.

Its possible that the board broke or a connection broke near the charge port which is a pain.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Accessories] Tdiliplane:
I just got mine last week and this case/keyboard is the best ive come across. If i were you i would take it back and next time be a little more careful removing the usb plug from the keyboard. The only thing i would change and it maybe not even be app licapable but i would leave a space open to charge the keyboard while you have your tab connected to it. But im not sure if you can actually do it while it is connected so ill have to test it out and post on how it works out. thanks for the heads up ill make sure im extra careful plugging in and removing the usb cord.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Accessories] bucketachicken:
I ended up exchanging it on the 20th for another case, since I was going out of town for a few days. I used it a lot the first few days I was out of town, and the keyboard worked pretty well overall, no lag or anything, and I was careful with the charging and it had no issues either. The last few days I was out of town I didn't use my Tab much, busy with holiday crap, so it just sat in the case. When I got back home I was taking everything out, and found that my Tab had those Newton rings on it. I took it out of the case and just let it sit overnight, they were mostly gone by the next day (about 4 inches wide by 1.5 inches tall starting out), and totally gone by the next. In any case, I'm now leery about the case doing that, since I read that some people also had similar issues (though I did see that there's some debate over whether or not it's the Tab itself or cases that do it), so I took the case and returned it today. I'm probably gonna get one of the Pyro cases, the clip probably from what I've read so far, but we'll see. I've looked at various cases on here and on Amazon and whatnot, my main need is the lower angle (often referred to as the "typing angle"), as opposed to the "viewing angle" that the Zagg has, so I think the Pyro would be good. I dunno, I have yet to see what I would call the "perfect" case for the 10.1, I need to keep looking around.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Accessories] Tdiliplane:
ive gone thru about 7 cases and this case+keyboard is THE BEST i have come by so far. im so glad i listened to task650's advise on this one! But to each there own.

[General Questions and Answers] Gall0wz:
iOS shoves you into a shoebox.

Android shoves you into a moving box.

While both boxes, at least android you can move your elbows around.

Through rooting you have a wide range of customizing your phone with competing ROMs. These roms most often allow you to have a more optimized experience. But choose your manufacturer carefully if ROMing is what you want to do. Some manufacturers make this process easier or harder, but generally you'll have a bunch of super nerds that are more than willing to help you out.

iOS has a claim to stability over android. But think of it as having a paint by numbers and apple hands you the colors one at a time and forces you to do it their way. Android has versatility.

IOS Devices -

Smoother (High end androids such as SGS2 are about as smooth)

More Games.

Easier to use

Siri? (4s only - There are similar android apps but i don't believe any are as good.)

Android -

Customization (You can basically change everything on stock android.)

Larger variety of apps (Keyboards such as Swype, Launchers, etc)

I Don't really see why people complain about android Crashes/FC. They rarely happen on Stock roms (Not enough to be annoying) and usually occur due to doing something that isn't meant to be done (Task managers, Bad ROMs), or a faulty app.

Also, Rooting is pretty useful. It basically allows you to do anything with your phone (Such as install ubuntu, Android roms, better Radios for better signals, uninstall system apps, etc)

[General Questions and Answers] Addiction01:
From my personal experience, Android is far superior than the iphone 4 (can't say much about 4s as i just upgraded from the iphone 4).

Yeah iphone 4 has more apps but the majority of them are useless and get boring FAST. Whereas, flashing roms like cyanogenmod is totally addicting and so much fun (shame my phone is stuck in alpha version for cyanogenmod). I havent seen much of a difference in the retina display because my phone's screen is larger, looks crisp and looks beautiful.

Best thing is if you dont want to root you can still install emulators for free regardless of rooting. I <3 pokemon on my android.

Choice is yours but i am never going back to iphone because my phone is more fun.

[General Questions and Answers] dalanik:
Most of the stated I agree with. I'd add that to me, iPhones are boring. What do you have when you turn on iPhone? Just a bunch of icons. Not very creative or different? Not even animated wallpaper. On Adndroid, half the fun is customizing the desktop. You can have live wallpaper, widgets, folders, icons... And yes, iPhone is probably a BIT smoother and more stable than most Android phones. But this is not the fault of Android phones, it is more a thing that you can't do half the things with an iPhone that you can do with Android. Apple limited their device and ofcourse it performs better because it doesn't do many things android does. Imagine only Live Wallpaper. How much more CPU power Android phones must use in order to display animated background.... then all the widgets. That constantly change/update.... while Apple devices only display rows of icons and no wonder they run slightly smoother. And in the end, as someone already stated, I will never buy an Apple product because I don't like the attitude of people using Apple. Those are mostly non-tech people that think they are so cool only because of something they OWN. IMHO it is way more cool to be ABLE to customize your device and understand how it works and tweak it than to be able to PURCHASE something. Just like they say in new Samsung commercial... one guy says "I could never have Samsung, I'm creative" and his friend replies "Dude, you're a barista" ;-) 99% of thos cool people are not businessman or even IT. They're waiters and shop assistents that need an ego boost....

That is an absolute impossibility. If Chuck Norris is not capable then no man made device could ever be. Chuck Norris > All :D :p

It would be interesting to see just how well iOS or any Apple OS would function if Apple had to create something that ran on wide variety of hardware. The one thing that the Apple faithfull will never point out is that Apple writes software for a very limited and specific set of hardware standards which they have very intimate knowledge of. Then you have the smoothness argument, well iPhones put the UI at a much higher priority than everything else so it had better be smooth if processes are not running when you are busy flicking around the interface or typing something. I'm not sure about the 4s with it's dual cores but to my knowledge the single core devices do not multitask like Android. Just sayin'.

I like both. There is nothing wrong with iPhone if you aren't one to care about the Apple ecosystem lock-in. Android definitely rocks and it can be an everything just works device as well (like for my mom and my sister), or a hacked to hell and back device (MINE!). You can do the homebrew thing on iPhone but not to the extent that you could on Android which I think matters to only a very specific subset of users. Personally I only bothered with using custom roms with my devices when the custom roms or mods provided support for things that the manufacturer decided to leave unsported through the software. That bothers me. Or, when performance is crap out of the box and the good folks at XDA and other places take it upon themselves to fix these things which give me a better experience on my $400+ devices. Others go for bloatless configs and custom UIs. Apple devices once you jailbreak them aren't as customizable, but looking at some of the folks that use them, that's probably for the best (Apple support at least).
