ICS Google Apps Step 2: Reboot the Kindle.

There is a total of 38 apk's in the google_apps package, did you accidentally install all 38 rather than the 28 above apk's? If you did, no worries we''l get Google Play back online. First try to install/initialize all 28 apk's and reboot.
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] Krsmqn:
Ok. Thank You firstly.

Play store still not downloading (same error) and about half the apps didn't install.

Edit: error code 491
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] prokennexusa:
Google Play Store Error 491

OK, sorry for the delay, we have been busy today. Getting to your issue

Error 491 is a communications error. I suspect GoogleServicesFramework.apk

is broken. Please go back to How to: Install Google Play Noob (Simple) Version and perform the complete install again.

It is better to replace these 4 files rather than spend hours trying to figure

out which one is broken. If you perform the steps, you will get Google Play

to function again. If you can not get it to work, PM us, we offer free

support to everyone in the XDA Community.

Hello,

Followed the steps, but google earth and talk both show a message of stopped.

Google earth works right after install, using the open option.

When launched from the app drawer, it only show the stopped message.

The other apps seem to be working. Any suggestions?

Thanks.
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] Cmonsta:
Help... Ok so i attempted to copy the 28 apps from my download directory to the system/app folder. Not all apps could be copied. Got a message in ES Explorer could not be copied. Then i launched google search and it asked to add an account. After this it broke access to the play store. I get a "RH-01" when i try to launch the store. Plus ES Explorer wont launch anymore. It FCs... What went wrong?? How do i fix?

Google Apps ICS (Signed) - Talk and Earth Fail to Start

Did you reboot the Kindle?

1) Try this, move Talk.apk and Earth.apk back to /sdcard/Download/

2) Now try to reinstall Talk and Earth never moving it back to the /system/app folder. Just perform the install.

Do they open now?
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] prokennexusa:
Out of Space?

Did you run out of disk space? Sounds like you copied all 38 apk's in the

google_apps folder to /system/app rather than the selected 28. Is this possible?

Judging by the error, this is what you did. Move the 10 back to /sdcard/download

Then follow our instructions below to reinstall the Google Play Store.
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] kindleHD:
Thanks, prokennexusa.

Earth is working now, even after reboots.

Talk fails during install. Also, after moving it back to download, the icon is not available in the app drawer now. Am I missing something?
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] prokennexusa:
Google Apps - Talk Fails to Start

Ok, we are almost there.

Let's take the attached version of Talk and move

it to /system/app, change the permissions to Owner: Read/Write Group: Read Others: Read

Then reboot the Kindle, do not install it.

After the reboot go into /apps does it launch now?

KindleHD,

Here we go, hot off my own office Kindle which has Talk functioning.

https://dl.dropbox.com/u/54456659/Talk.apk

Move the attached file to /system/app

Change the permissions: Owner: Read/Write Group: Read Others: Read

Reboot

If this does not work, we have to replace the files that Talk.apk calls when it is launched.
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] kindleHD:
Hi prokennexusa,

It does not work. Upon reboot, it automatically shows the message that talk has stopped. It shows the message twice. Trying to launch it also displays the same message.
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] prokennexusa:
Google Applications - Framework Corrupt

OK, we have safely eliminated Talk as the trouble.

Follow these steps please:

Play Step 1 Download GoogleServicesFramework.apk, AccountAndSyncSettings.apk and GoogleLoginService.apk to your Desktop

Play Step 2 Using Windows Explorer move GoogleServicesFramework.apk, AccountAndSyncSettings.apk and GoogleLoginService.apk from your desktop to /Kindle Drive/Download.

Play Step 3 Using ES File Explorer app, open ES File Explorer on your Kindle. Go to the Setting Menu on ES File Explorer. Choose Root Settings, Select all the options here. A Superuser window will Popup, be sure to click "Allow".

Play Step 4 Now on the Kindle Fire HD use ES File Explorer to move GoogleServicesFramework.apk, AccountAndSyncSettings.apk and GoogleLoginService.apk from /sdcard/Download to /system/app replacing the current versions.

Play Step 5 Next change the permissions on GoogleServicesFramework.apk, AccountAndSyncSettings.apk and GoogleLoginService.apk by long pressing each apk until you see an option window. Select Permissions and change all 3 apk permissions to Owner: Read-Write, Group: Read and Others: Read.

Play Step 6 Install all 3 apk's: GoogleServicesFramework.apk, AccountAndSyncSettings.apk and GoogleLoginService.apk by clicking on each on and choose Install. Click OK to Replace. Ignore any install errors.

Play Step 7 Reboot the Kindle

Warning - Disable Auto Update on YouTube Application

To All-

We have found a bug on the latest version of YouTube HD. The Bug is through the

Google Play Automatic Update service when it attempts to update YouTube. The

latest version fails on the Kindle Fire HD, so do not attempt the update until we

have had a chance to resolve the problem. In the mean time, disable Automatic

Updates on the YouTube Application through Google Play Store by opening

Google Play Store, search for YouTube, then Uncheck "Allow automatic updating".

We will post a response when the problem has been resolved. If you find

YouTube missing, just reinstall the application using the google_apps

folder or the attached YoutubeHD.apk.

Just completed all the tutorials (beginning with the original rooting tutorial)! Everything seems to be working fine thus far, I haven't really had a chance to run it all through a full exercise. Having said that, tried opening and closing everything and only thing i seem to be having trouble with is Google Earth and Maps not being able to locate my spot. Is that a common thing or have i missed something?

Regardless, just want to say amazing tutorials!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Second time i'm writing this cause my post isn't appearing.....

I tried turning on Location Based Services but no luck. Tried turning it off, rebooting kindle and turning it back on, still nothing. Everything else about Earth/Maps works except finding my location. I tried going on the maps site using Dolphin and even then, wasn't able to find my location. Any thoughts?

One other problem I've encountered is that audio in Talk isn't working. We can both see each other and messages work fine but no audio at all. I tried voice call alone and still no luck, was able to hear him for a fraction of a second before it went back to useless noise. Kind of sounds like when a sound driver isn't installed properly on an older Windows OS, it makes this whooshing sound.

I am having similar issue with Location Services after following the tutorial. I was on version 7.2.2 when I first noticed the location services issue. I updated to 7.2.3, re-rooted and followed the tutorial again. I still had no luck with location services. prokennexusa gave me an updated NetworkLocation.apk that I installed to /system/app and changed permissions. I tried to reinstall the apk and I got an error that it wouldn't install. After rebooting, Location Services still didn't work. I then performed a factory reset, re-rooted and reinstalled Google Play and Google Apps and I am still having issues with Location Services.

If the issue was across the board i could understand, but what is weird for me is that MapQuest from Amazon App Store is the only app that will find my location. All other apps i tried to use give me an error that my location cannot be found. I opened up the 7.2.3 update file from Amazon and looked in the system/app folder and couldn't find the NetworkLocation.apk. I am at a loss of what to try next to get Location Services to work.

LBS for Google apps

Thanks a ton for these tutorials prokennexusa! They've turned what I considered a borderline useless KFHD 7 into a truly customizable table that I now use every day (I started out simply wanting to get Google Voice Search and Flash working; Go Launcher HD was unexpected gravy!). My wife purchased a 8.9" for her parents and I've successfully followed these tutorials for it as well.

However as undied and rjgonzalez73 have noted, I also cannot get Google Maps, Earth or Latitude to find my location. These are both Wifi-only KFHDs with both options under Settings -> LBS enabled and rebooted since. Using Chrome under its mobile profile, I received and allowed the "google.com wants to use your device's location" prompt but the Google homepage still shows "Unknown" under the search field.

Any thoughts would be much appreciated!

How to find /System/lib Path - Kindle Fire HD and 2

mushasho,

The /system/lib path is found by first making sure you enable Root in ES File Explorer by going

into the ES File Explorer Root Settings, then check everything in Root Settings - be sure to

Allow Root when you see the Superuser pop up. Next, apply the settings by clicking OK until

you are back to the main ES File Explorer interface. Usually ES File Explorer defaults to local

/sdcard. Look at the very top, in small letters at the top left should be local, after local

should be the current path /sdcard maybe /sdcard/Download. Click the Up until you see

the system folder. Click on the System folder, next look for the lib folder, click to open

the lib folder. That is it! You now know how to find /system/lib. Does this make sense?

Easy installer can't find apk..

I have some issues with Easy installer..

I've downloaded Easy installer from INFOLIFE LLC, correct?)

but with it i can't see the apk i moved from /download to /system/app/.

I've tried installing the first of the 27 with esexplorer but i get an error.

After a reboot i noticed in the newly installed apps google earth, meteo/news, gallery, and other few and they all seems to work.

I have also the mic of the voice search (that is the reason i'm trying all this!)

I have the mic on top of the screen but if i press on it it becomes green for a second and then i get an error "Ricerca vocale si è interrotto", "Vocal search has stopped".

How can i go trough all the steps of the guide?

Headlessbody,

Unfortunately Easy Installer does not read packages in the /system/app folder. This is not

a problem, just do the install using ES File Explorer, ignoring any install errors. Did you move

the libs to /system/lib? These are critical to the operation of Voice Search. Let's isolate

the problem by reinstalling Voice Search. Please follow these instructions to reinstall

I had these two from some other great guide from you, i've tried to remove gmail apk and reinstall it but i get an error.

No, chrome worked perfectly, the fact is that is that version was older than the one from the other guide, and probably I did some mess trying to reinstall it.

Google Calendar not working

Thanks for the great guide!

The only problem I have had after completing this guide is with Google Calendar. After completing the guide, I noticed that Google Calendar was not in my /apps so I went ahead and downloaded it from Google Play. When I opened it, the first weird thing I noticed is that it asked me whether I wanted to add an existing or new account or "not now." I thought this was weird because I had already synced my device with my google account, and in fact when i tried to add my "existing" account it said that it was already synced with this android device. So I clicked not now, but my calendar came up blank. I went to settings and found my account and synced all my calendars. So, it seemed to work at this point, except that when I rebooted my kindle and started up Google Calendar again, it came up blank once again. I am not sure what went wrong, but my Google Calendar won't stay synced. Any advice?
