Google Play Store

Hi...

All this worked well -- google apps working fine, maps, you tube etc all log into my account. However I tried installing Google Play Store (3.9.17) and it installs ok, settings can be accessed (so I can see it's trying to log into the correct account), but it says "Server Error, Retry?" on the main screen all the time. Has anyone got Play Store to work on an unrooted KFHD ...?

Any advice appreciated!

calendar?

Does the native Calendar or contacts work?
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] timnan:
nope. I try to put on these two for a while, didn't work. I tried to remove the two stock apps and copy ICS VERSIONs to system/app but seems system didn't recognize them. I guess kindle HD only takes their own apps.

I was really interested in this mystery tablet, cause I think there could be extra features come out once a customized rom is ready.
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] timurg:
Google Calendar from play store works just perfectly.

Sent from my KFHD rooted
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] topnotchit:
What worked for me so far...

Just FYI (updated)

Kindle Fire HD 8.9 v 8.1.2

Google apps for your domain account & a normal gmail account

Google apps for your domain account does not login from the KF using the gmail login setting and only as IMAP (thus no calendar or contact sync)

gmail.com account setup as normal gmail (mail, calendar, contacts)"

1) did everything described in this thread and used this version of files on rapidshare

2) GMAIL works great; except it does not sync in background and no notifications of new email

3) Google maps required login to latitude and accepting permissions from the notification drop down.Location does not update . "waiting for location"

4) Youtube works (i didnt try to login) full screen only works by hitting button, not automatic when you landscape/portrait switch

5) calendar side loaded from my phone / Market (v20121020) ERROR i see both google apps and gmail calendars but it does not sync. Says it is missing a component from the play store in the drop down notification window.

Hi guys, i got a kindle fire hd and as i live outside the US and i dont have a US credit card i cannot download any app from the amazon market, not even free ones (isnt that bulls**t or what?)

I tried to download the apks to install playstore but the default explorer doesnt allow me to open apk files, and i cannot download something like ES explorer because what i said before.

Any way i can install appstore without rooting?

thanks!
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] gpauk:
Yeah, Amazon are trying to be an Apple... For apps, go to a site like 1mobile.com or papktop.com that will aloow download to PC of the apks, then install via usb, or install airdroid and use wifi.....
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] pinkster:
How do i install via usb? using a mac
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] gpauk:
Ah -- only use Win and Linux here. Just plug in the usb and it allows you to copy a file... I sent airdroid and es file explorer first... Someone else may be able to help if Mac is different?

Is it possible for someone to update the apk with a 512 icon and then resign? I'm on a mac and struggling big time resigning the apk. The blurry icon is killing me.
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] sougandh:
Thanks for this. I can use Youtube, Talk and Maps without issues. Maps say login failed but I can see all my starred places. Working fine.

I have a google TV and I love to sync my Youtube with my TV. The latest Youtube app has this feature. I have it on my Android phone running ICS. Is there a way to update the Youtube app to latest version?
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] DssTrainer:
How about Vending.apk or Google play? Have you gotten those to work without root? Looking at the installation for rooted devices, moving the vending apk to the system/apps folder is the only step that needs root... I didn't see this listed in this thread. Perhaps you could root, install vending, then unroot
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] mascondante:
Unrooted phones use Google play so I guess that makes sense
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] DssTrainer:
no.. no that doesn't make sense. Unrooted phones have google play added already from the OEM. The OEM does have root access initially when creating it. So a simple "I don't know" is the answer you want to go with.

[7" Kindle Fire HD General] Ravynmagi:
I'm a bit confused. Sounds like some people are saying Google Play can't be installed without root and some are saying they got it installed (not sure if they meant with root).

Any chance Google Play without root is possible? Rooting this thing is such a PITA, I'd prefer not to.
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] jenyayah:

Using the .APK files in the OP message I have successfully installed all the apps on my Kindle Fire HD (4.2.2). Everything is working correctly, except the Google Talk. It can't seem to find an account to use.

I was originally having login errors with the Google Maps app, but after closing out the app and starting it back up again, everything seemed to work as expected.

I installed Google Chrome from here (http://www.androiddrawer.com/1939/download-chrome-18-0-1025123-app-apk/#.UMo-aVnHf8E) but it is missing an HD icon, which is kind of annoying, but doesn't detract from the app actually working.

[7" Kindle Fire HD General] Ravynmagi:
Is it possible to get the newest version of YouTube to work on this without root? I couldn't sign in, kept telling me I needed Google Play installed. So I'm guessing it won't work. I'm currently using an older 3.5 version which is okay, but I like the newer versions more.
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] :
Don't think latest one (4.2.16) works properly un-rooted, latest one I got working with sign-in was YouTube version 4.1.47 which I can't really tell the difference between that & 4.2.16 so that may help you.

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

Also for any new KFHD owners a bit bewildered by this thread I've managed to get these Google Apps listed below working great on my Kindle Fire HD (Stock 7.2.3) with the GoogleLoginService.apk & GoogleFrameworkServices.apk mentioned at the end of the post, just install both of those & reboot your KFHD & then install any of these GApps, sign-in should work if done correctly :)

Gmail 4.0.5 (Sign-in working, syncs mail but can be a little buggy, versions 4.1.2 & 4.2.1 are very buggy, notifications don't work)

Google Chrome 18.0.1025469 (Sign-in working, shows Sync options but haven't checked anything else)

Google Drive 1.1.470.15 (Sign-in working, downloaded & ran files OK)

Google Maps 6.14.2 (Settings work without crashing if both Google Service APKs are installed)

Google Play Music 4.5.910I.560208 (Sign-in working, my uploaded Music was playable etc.)

Google Play Movies 2.3.7 (Sign-in working, but doesn't seem to be very useful without Google Play Store)

Google Currents 2.0.1 (Sign-in works, App seemed to work well)

Google Calendar 201212060 (Sign-in working, although it does give a Notification about Google Play Services though even if installed)

Google+ 3.5.0.41809231 (Sign-in working, created an account on the device, settings worked & seemed to run OK)

YouTube 4.1.47 (Sign-in working, no major issues so far)

Think most of those are up-to-date versions bar Youtube & Gmail as of posting.

Notification Click Does nothing

I have Google Services Framework installed along with Gmail and Drive. I have logged into both accounts but when I click the "permission requested" on the notification shade nothing happens. It just returns me to the main carousel. I am on the non-rooted Kindle Fire.

Gmail

Gmail 4.2.1 (Sign-in working, syncs mail but found it buggy, actually removed my top bar after notifying, had to kill it)

----------

When you say that you had to "kill" GMail, does that mean that you had to uninstall it and it no longer works, or you had to close it and restart? I am relying on GMail and need a way for it to work on my new Kindle. Thanks so much for the rest of the info though!!
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] Geekybiker:
Disable notifications for gmail. That'll keep your notification bar from disappearing. If you setup the built in email for gmail you can let it notify you and just open the gmail app to look at mail.
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] JettMartinez:
They do work on the 8.9. I can personally attest to Gmail, YouTube and Chrome.
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] :
Yeah sorry I meant kill it in task manager just to get my top bar back and as per Geekybiker's reply just disable the notifications for Gmail to stop it from doing that again.

google play

Has anyone been able to get the Market to work? I believe I have the newest version of google play, but every time I try to load it, it closes itself. It appears to almost load in, and has the " agree" term thing pop up, but closes before I can agree to the terms....

Any help would be great.

I followed Gilly10's post and downloaded both Google apk's from their link, and got the Play Store working without root by installing the Google Play Services app too.

Download here:

http://db.tt/LAdVEVZ0

After installing the two Google apps Gilly10 linked, I uploaded the Play Store app from my phone to Dropbox, downloaded it to my KFHD, installed it and it wouldn't open. But then I installed the Services app and viola, good to go! I haven't tried buying an app yet, but everything else is working far as I can tell.

I'm on the latest system version as well, 7.2.3

Edit: Nevermind, turns out the minute you try to download something it crashes and drags all of your account linked apps with it. You need to clear data to get it up and running again, but you can't do much more than browse apps.

[7" Kindle Fire HD General] jenyayah:
Did you rooted your device before installing?

What about Market?
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] JettMartinez:
I don't think market can be done without rooting.
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] MadJoe:
Play Store needs root as far as I can tell, and I can't get Gmail to sync, I have to manually refresh it every time. Also my Gmail contacts won't sync even in the native email app.

So far I've installed Google Services Manager, Google Services Framework, Gmail, Talk, Voice, Maps, and Currents with success (mostly, I have to manually refresh Gmail and Voice) without root. Google Videos, Google Music, and Play Store all install and open, but crash if I try to use them for anything more than browsing, and then break the functionality of all the rest until I clear their data and re-log into them each.
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] prokennexusa:
Have you tried to install AccountAndSyncSettings.apk https://dl.dropbox.com/u/54456659/AccountAndSyncSettings.apk to solve the Gmail sync issue?

I am not sure if it will work without Root. It works like a charm on my KFHD but I did install it by moving this to /system/app/ which requires Root. I figured I would give you the link to try?
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] imthekeepe:
Google Drive

Thanks so much for all the help so far guys.

I have installed the framework and services apk. It made youtube and facebook stop working, so I reinstalled both. They are working fine now. The only thing I am having trouble with and actually care about is Google Drive and Google Music. I tried the APK misfit posted, no luck I get a "There is a problem parsing the package" error. Anyone able to help with the Google Drive?

Using KFHD7 System Version 7.2.3
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] :
I found that Google Sync in Gmail was set to ON if I installed & signed in on a few other GApps first (YouTube, Drive, Maps etc.) before installing Gmail otherwise it would show up as OFF if I used Gmail to sign-in with a Google account first, as it does some kind of weird refresh when it tries to sync up initially, no idea yet if it actually sync's properly will check later, remember to turn off notifications for Gmail as it hides the top bar.

Also for anyone asking if I rooted, no I didn't, all stock, only Play Store needs root ;)
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] MadJoe:
I had tried a different sync apk, and it didn't work so I figured yours wouldn't either, but it does. Thank you. Only issue I have now the displayed name in my notification bar is the genetic "My Kindle" instead of what I had set it to, but Prime still works, so I'm not worried about it.

Edit: My custom displayed name is back after a reboot and removing the other sync app which I had forgotten to do. Thanks again prokennexusa!
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] Martovitz:
Thanks for this everything working great, only issue is my Google maps location is a few miles off. No biggie I'll find a solution soon as I'm nerdy with these devices and this being my new toy it's getting all my attention now. Hopefully some custom roms drop over time. I'll post my solution for gps location being off when I find it. Thanks again keep up the great work.

There are some Video stabilization lib's that eliminate your problem with Talk since Talk calls to these library files when

a video connection is established. If these library files are missing Talk crashes as you are aware.
