Install Google Play Store Noob (Simple) Version

hortstu,

Thank you for the feedback, we are honored to be able to help people like yourself.

Install Google Play Store Noob (Simple) Version - Dropbox and Ubuntu One

To All-

Since there has been a demand to download the files, we realize how important redundancy is to our customers, how important it is to keep the links alive. We have added an additional server for our customers to use, so you now have two options:

1. Dropbox Links

2. Ubuntu One Links

So if one server is under maintenance, the other server will remain online as an alternate. This is another upgrade to improve the overall file service up-time.

Hello,

Thanks for the guide.

After the process, the app is name : Android Market on not GooglePLay.

It' the old icon and not the new GooglePlay icon.

Is it Ok?

Thanks

Install Google Play Store Noob (Simple) Version - Upgrade Android to Google Play

Nixeus,

Thank you for taking the time to post comments. You must be at step 8, once you move on to step 12, you upgrade to Gplay3.8.17.apk and the icon changes, then finally when you move on to step 14, you upgrade to Phonesky.apk 3.10.10.

When we first developed this tutorial you had to incrementally upgrade the store. Google may have changed the problem, although I would not take a chance since it breaks the entire install. Having said this, move on to step 8.

Maromi,

We are aware of that process, the TWRP flashing Gapps process has been around for over 5 years now, 30 days for the Kindle. This was developed for the people that do not have TWRP installed or for people that would like to keep the Kindle fairly stock.

[HOW TO] Install Google Play Store - "can't establish a reliable connection"

Jeffreycee,

OK, so you are 100% sure you downloaded all the services using our links, correct? The reason we ask is there is a lot of garbage out on the Internet, some can actually damage the Kindle. Our downloads are behind a firewall and are constantly inspected by a IDS system.

Let get to your issue. Google Play Store uses GoogleLoginService.apk and GoogleServicesFramework.apk through and encrypted VPN tunnel to communicate to the Google Play Store servers. We have found, in some rare cases, the download process damages the files. If this is the case, all you need to do is download a new set, we have attached a new set to this thread, and move the new set to /system/app - be sure to change the permissions to User: Read Write Group: Read and Others: Read.

Hello,

Install Google Play Store Noob (Simple) Version

Nixeus,

This has to be done in EXACTLY as outlined on the main page, otherwise you will experience problems as you are noticing. Make sure you are on the Device when you are looking for Google Play Store, for some reason the Kindle Fire defaults to the Cloud when you open the Kindle Apps.

The following are the key points as noted in the main page, if you deviate in any way, the install will fail and you will have to start over again:

1. Download (Dropbox Links) GoogleServicesFramework.apk, AccountAndSyncSettings.apk and GoogleLoginService.apk to your Desktop

2. 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. 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.

3. Next quick tap GoogleServicesFramework.apk, AccountAndSyncSettings.apk and GoogleLoginService.apk to install.

4. REBOOT

5. Download Vending.apk(Dropbox) using ES File Explorer app moveVending.apk to /system/app. Next Using ES File Explorer or Root Explorer, change permissions set to Owner: Read-Write, Group: Read and Others: Read. Quick tap Vending.apk to install.

6. Find Android Market in the Kindle /Apps on Device (not Cloud), open Android Market, sign in, Accept the license and CLOSE Android Market - ignore errors, this is only used to add your Google Account to the Market.

7. Download Gplay3.8.17.apk(Dropbox) to /Kindle Drive/Download using ES File Explorer, go to /sdcard/Gplay3.8.17.apk select Gplay3.8.17.apk choose Install. This will upgrade the the android market to version 3.8.17 Google Play market.

8. Download Phonesky.apk(Dropbox) to /Kindle Drive/Download using ES File Explorer, go to /sdcard/Phonesky.apk select Phonesky.apk choose Install. This will upgrade the the android market to version 3.10.10 Google Play market.

Wireless Indicator Bug in KFHD 7" Software Version 7.2.3??

Jeffreycee,

The problem you are noticing with WiFi has nothing to do with Root. This is a known Bug on the Kindle here is our post acknowledging the bug: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2064508

Do you have any idea what files you moved out of the /system/app folder?

Just FYI, there are two innocuous files installed when you Root, the Superuser.apk in /system/app and the su binary in /system/xbin

What you can do to figure out what you accidentally removed is download the latest Kindle Fire HD or 2 Update from here: http://www.amazon.com/gp/help/customer/display.html?nodeId=200529680

Change the file name from .bin to .zip and use 7-Zip to Unzip the package, then open the update package and open ES File Explorer on the Kindle. Navigate to /system/app compare the 7-Zip /system/app to your /system/app, what is missing?

Once you figure out what is missing, reply here and we will post how to replace the missing package or packages and how to setup the proper permissions so your Kindle boots properly.

I tired to install Google Play in Kindle fire 8.9" and after doing vending.apk step I keep getting error while opening Google Play Store Saying "Goolge Play Store had Stopped ".Can you tell if these steps are some for both 7" and 8.9" one or any modification done to it ?
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] prokennexusa:
Install Google Play Store Noob (Simple) Version

Cupidhunters,

The Kindle Fire HD 8.9" and the HD 7" have identical Operating Systems, so what works on the Kindle Fire HD 7" will work on the Kindle Fire HD 8.9" with a few rare exceptions.

Having said this the Google Play Store process is identical on both the Kindle Fire HD 8.9" and the Kindle Fire HD 7" with no instruction variations.

When you see Google Play Store has stopped, this is usually attributed to Upgrading the store prior to first launching the store per the instructions. This process is extremely sensitive, if you miss a step or upgrade prior to launching Vending.apk the entire process will fail.

If you followed the instructions perfectly, then go to More+ Applications > Installed Applications and Clear the Data to all the Google Services:

1. Account and Sync Settings

2. Google Login Service

3. Google Services Framework

4. Google Play Store

Reboot, replace Vending.apk with a new Vending.apk in /system/app folder - check the permissions - install Vending.apk.

Next go to Apps be sure you are on the Device, Launch the old Android Store, Agree to the License, add your Gmail Account, close the Android Store.

Next install GPlay3.8.17.apk from the /sdcard/Download folder - go back to the Apps folder be sure you are on the Device. Launch Google Play Store - wait for it to initialize and sync - usually 3 to 5 minutes.

Finally install Phonesky.apk from the /sdcard/Download folder - go back to the Apps folder be sure you are on the Device. Launch Google Play Store - wait for it to initialize and sync - usually 3 to 5 minutes.

Sucessfully done installing Google play store

Thanks for the instructions .I finally got Google play stored installed on kindle fire HD 8.9" .Just an advice please update this file if they are bit different in front page to make sure people get success with their installations.
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] prokennexusa:
Install Google Play Store Noob (Simple) Version

Cupidhunters,

Thank you for the feedback. The files provided to you are the identical files in the Tutorial. The key with the install is not the file source (we only have one source), it is the way they are installed. If a person deviates from the instructions in any way, the install fails and Google Play Store fails to launch.

So far to date, we have over 18,000 successful Google Play Store installs. How to respond is almost second nature to us when someone complains about Google Play Store "Suddenly Stopped..." or "Can't establish a reliable connection to the server..."- 95% of the time, it is the order that Google Play was installed.

We do keep the services up to date, so as Google Upgrades Google Play Store is upgraded, we upgrade our files but the directions always remain unchanged.

Thank you for being part of our tutorial and taking the time to post feedback, this means a lot to us. We hope to be of service to you in our other tutorials.

Can't establish connection

I have a rooted Kindle Fire 2 v. 10.2.6 and have been trying to install Google Play without any luck. I have been through the threads and not found a resolution. Initially, I ran the KF First Aide and was unsuccessful so I tried to manually install Google with no luck there either. The problem is that when I try to sign in to Google I get the error "Can't establish reliable connection to the server". I have deleted, replaced, uninstalled, cleared caches, and rebooted the device multiple times and still the error persists. I have previously had Google Play on this device before, but it was lost after a factory reset. Please help!

@ prokennexusa

I just wanted to thank you. (and many others too numerous to mention)

Getting root on my Kindle Fire 2 was a lil more challenging than my Galaxy Exhibit.

While I didnt use the posted method, the info you provided in your numerous posts gave me the understanding I needed to complete the task.

Im now the proud owner of a rooted Kindle Fire 2 with Play Store and my wife is happily playing her flash games.

And as anyone who knows can tell you, the value of a happy wife, is priceless!

Connection Error Solved

I have been fighting with the inability to establish a connection to google when trying to install Google Play on my rooted Kindle Fire 2. I finally found a fix and it wasn't on this forum that I know of so I though I would share. Using ES File Explorer I went to system/etc/hosts and opened as text with ES Note Editor. In my file there were two lines of text; the first was my local host ip address and the second was the ip address for android.clients.google.com. I edited the second line (the google line) by putting # in front of the numbers of the ip address, saved the text, and rebooted my device. Immediately I was able to sign into Google!! Hope this helps those of you who can't get the other fixes to work.:D

[7" Kindle Fire HD General] crazyjoejoe:
I followed the instructions up until I have to long press on the file and change its read/write properties. I do not have the option to modify the read/write. Am I doing something wrong?

Also, I had to create my own system/app folder. I did not find one.
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] conalt:
what file explorer app are you using? Es file explorer?

If you use ES File explorer in the app go to settings -> Root Settings -> and enable all the options.

Then you can use the back button to get to the ROOT folder, where there is a system folder. If you created a System/app folder on the SD card it wont work.

In ES File explorer, long pressing a file and selection "properties". From there you can edit the read/write premissions
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] crazyjoejoe:
Yes I am using ES. I did enable all the root settings and there was still no system folder. I looked everywhere for it. Long pressing on the file and selecting properties will not allow me to edit any read/write settings.

I ended up using KindleFree and it did everything for me. Great program.

Is it possible to switch Google accounts that are logged into the Play Store?

I rooted someone else's Kindle for them and installed the Play Store. However, I logged into my own account and now can't give them back their tablet until I can log out.

I tried clearing the data of every Google app in Applications but my account email is still sticking.

Does anyone know how to get rid of it?

BTW, I don't have this persons email/password so can't log in with their account so I need to be able to give it to them so that when they load the market, it asks for them to login.

Thanks.

I too lost root and Google Play. Play would open and then immediately close, probably due to the /system update from OTA. I ran KFFirstAide, ran the install Google Play option and it was successful.

However with installing google play store, I'm not able to download any apps onto the device. It's just a continual loop of trying to download the apps with no progress. I have uninstalled/reinstall the market app, deleted everything that was google or google related on the device, uninstalled/reinstalled the vending.apk, redownloaded and installed updated framework and login services apks. I've also did an xda as well as google search about this problem. I don't know what else to do. What am I missing???

Google Play Store Has Stopped

Ok, I Love this site. You guys rock. I do, however, have a problem. I have rooted my 7 inch Kindle with no problem. I just rooted my 8.9 inch HD Kindle. I installed SuperUser, rooted, etc. just as the instructions say. I checked the root and it is good. My hangup is with installing the Play Store. I followed instructions, read this whole board, and still get "Google Play Store Has Stopped" when I click to enter. I have a few questions, and I have taken pics. The items that should be in the system/app file seem to be in the "system" menu, but no the actual "app" folder that is inside the "system" menu. I can't seem to get them to move into there. Are they in the right spot? Also, when changing the permissions I see a little different view than was described. I hope the pics help. Thank you in advance for guidance.

Wanted to say thanks a million for making this guide. I had one quick question though that I couldn't find the answer for anywhere:

After installing the Google Play Store I noticed a number of apps won't install from there (for example, Google Chrome) and say they are not compatible with my device. I know that I can side load these apps but it's a huge pain finding recent apk files for apps that frequently update (again Google Chrome). Aside from installing a custom ROM, is there any way to trick the Google Play Store into letting me download these "not supported" apps?

Thanks!
