It's simply a zip file containing the files GAPPS use and the command instruction including where to put all the files. At the moment, since there is no root, it's not possible to write some files to the system folder/directory. But for the APK files, if you install them it would put them on the user application space rather than system application space like normal GAPPS do on custom ROM(s). That said, not all the google apps will require those files to be in the system space. So, no worry there. You would simply unzip the file and try to install the apks and move the files to the user space if you can. That's the best you could do for now. I could write a little script file to do that as I did on the Nook HD+. Hence that's the root and GAPPS was done in the Nook HD+ at the beginning. I'm not gonna bother writing any script as I'm still waiting for my 2nd replacement unit. If this thing goes south again, I would just return the device and wait to see if I would get the new 2013 Nexus 7/10. I might even keep my eyes open for those 8inches Windows 8.1 tablet also.

Thanks!

i dont know if this is known but, i just downloaded the latest google services, search and youtube app, i now have all cards in my google now, and signed into youtube.

Just thought id throw it out there

Any more of those annoying FCs? Did you just install the apks and nothing else? Where did you get them from?

I've not tried it for a week or so but ended up just removing the google stuff as it just kept crashing.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] angry english:
No FC at all works fine, all I did was go to Google play, search for the apps, find the version numbers, and downloaded through websites on Google search, Android police have them if I remember rightly, all I did was I stall the apks through es file explorer
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] Android Cowboy:
I keep a running list of updated Google apps here. But even though I have the latest Google Play Services, I still get the FC on my hdx.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] Chief85:
When you say latest "services" do you mean Google Services Framework or Google Play Services? What version of each do you have installed?
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] davekaz:
No more google crashes after many resets and installs of Google service. Its possible. Everything is working without errors .otherwise I would of kept it off. I installed vending.apk inside system and outside... followed cowboy's instructions..very happy. I'm rooted though

For me it works yes (gmail notifications and sync, but also chrome sync and others). Even games with google play services (like my game weed wars). All google apps i could think of are working, except play store like others :)

I didnt follow the tutorial here tougth:

- Removed a few system apps to free space (amazon mp3, slik browser...) for gapps

- Installed gapps from recovery : gapps-jb-20130812-signed.zip

- Removed /system/app/SetupWizard.apk to bypass welcome screen as it depends on stock settings.apk

- Removed the IntentProxy apk think (not sure if needed)

- Updated google play games services to version 4.0.34 (needed for latest games, at least mine)

I did a lot of other tweeks but this should not impact google services. I also installed apex launcher with the wallpaper fix, the device start to be interessting !

Sorry for not replying, I'm on a family vacation in Florida right now, when I get back on Tuesday I will package everything up in a zip and upload them, don't have the Kindle fire with me as its actually a gift for someone, but I literally went to the play store, looked at the latest versions of search, YouTube, and Gmail, and go grab the latest Google play service framework, this will make Google now show your cards, let's you log into YouTube, and no Force Closing, don't have to be rooted of anything, just side load them, someone else on Cowboys website also points out they also have this working by doing the same

I did this once I had already followed Android Cowboys "how to add" page

To get everything working, including sign ins you just need to have the play store installed. I have the previous version of the Play Store and the previous version of Play services and everything is working fine. When I updated from versions 4.21 to version 4.22 everything went hay wire so I'm holding back for now. Play Store is only thing needed, no need to root and pushing vending.all.

Maps issue

I was able to install all the apps above (chrome, maps, google music, gmail, search) and everything seems to be running ok (aside from the occasional annoying but harmless error message. I installed the .apk files in exact order as described in the OP and so far so good. Have not attempted the play store (scared).

However, one issue I notice is on Maps: none of the street names are showing up. The only way you can see what a street name is is if you place a pin. Street view and other functions seem to be ok. Anyone else experiencing this? I'm I doing something wrong?

It requires SafeStrap bootloader, so yes. Anything that requires changes to be made in the HDX file system is going to require root. This particular method is also only for the HDX7, since there is no SafeStrap for the 8.9 yet.

Try to download the apk to your computer first or tell your mobile browser to open the download link in a new tab, your browser is likely downloading the download site's HTML and renaming it to .apk.

[Samsung Infuse 4G] Jerky1226:
I have been trying to fix a this phone for a friend at work. When I got it was stuck in a boot loop, fix that problem by flashing stock rom. I got the rom with root and CWM recovery here: [ODIN][UCLB3] AT&T 2.3.6 Gingerbread with root and CWM recovery option - Infuse 4g using option C. The phone works but the navigation keys don't. So if you go into an app or anything you can't leave. I have been trying to flash a custom rom that has the option in it to put navigation "keys" on the screen but, in CWM when I go into the ex-sd card it says there are no flies. I have tried to download CWM from Rom Manger also with luck. I cant find TWRP for this phone and I cant flash it from Goo without the navigation keys so, my question is; is a custom out there that can be flash with Odin or a way to make the custom rom files work with Odin or a CWM recovery for this phone that works? Please help I have been messing with this problem for a while now and don't know what else to do. Thanks for any input.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] qkster:
you may have a hardware issue with the nav buttons

the only way i can think of to test it is to use one of the "unbrick" package with a complete reparttition

after that, try the buttons with the stock rom - if your buttons dont work with stock rom after a complete factory reset, you need to open the phone and check the hardware
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Jerky1226:
They still don't work... Is there not a way to flash a custom rom with odin? Like a stock android based rom where you can put the nav keys on the screen.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] qkster:
the only rom avail via Odin are the stock 2.3.6 or stock with root that jscott30 put together.

if your nav keys don't work on stock, i'm thinking that it may be hardware related. idk if firmware will fix it.

here are jscott30's thread:

Right, I'm not trying to fix the nav keys with firmware. What I was trying to say was "soft keys." I was wanting a rom with soft keys but I just learned that there are apps on the market with them. LOL Wow I was trying to make this harder than it needed to be. Well I do thank you for your help though and sorry I wasnt more clear. Thank you!
[Samsung Infuse 4G] capeman316:
I had similar problems, I would suggest getting all 3 buttons fixed, both volume and the power button, my Infuse had the power button damaged, it was like $15 the repair, they can re-use your current buttons they may be stuck.

Then after you get them fixed, get an odin or heimdall stock with root rom and flash it, then you can go up to 4.3.3 with one of the many roms out there, like Beanstalk or CM10.2 which is the one I'm currently running.

Creaking is for Hollween not for my Tablet!

Yes, When I held the tablet with my left hand to touch the screen with my right it creaked like a rock band with bad music! Geeish.....the silver chrome or whatever the material is wasn't tight and it just bend. I returned it right away. I really didn't want to return it. However, I paid full price and not second hand money so I expect the performance to be right, that means no noise. When listening to music or watching a movie it seems as if someone was moving around and that can be pretty annoying. I tried holding it different ways with no change. So back it went. Let Samsung sell. This I know imagine you trying to sell it to the next person, what do you think they might say and how much will the value go down?

[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] kashbg:
Yes, As soon as I opened the package, I noticed the bottom right hand corner was creaking an popping. It is not like I was looking for it. That made me investigate if the rest of the trim was doing the same. If you put your mind into into it, you can get some creaking from other ends of the trim but nothing like the bottom right hand corner. Every time I pick it up, it is annoying me so much that I feel I should take it back. I am not sure the guys at PCWorld would accept this as a reason for full money back or replacement claim. I do like the tablet, but do not want a noisy plastic in my hands.

Is this enough of a reason to ask for a replacement?

I had lightbleeding on my first note but I found it to be acceptable however on my 2nd tablet I found the bleeding to be excessive and off putting so I got a refund from John Lewis,

[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] Eric214:
I guess if the creaking was coming from say a loose glass to the digitizer i think it could be something that spreads. Since if the glass isn't glued down well enough i could see slight dust getting in there and causing more separation over time. I doubt this is the case as you'd see bubbling at the edges if that was happening.

My P601 creaks sometime after big fall from driver seat to asphalt right by the screen, after fall I saw tablet's glass trying to escape the body, but I easily placed it back with funny "Click!" sound by the mighty power of the thumb. You know "drop test" passed very well, so our device is stronger than I thought.

P.S And still no cover I use, waiting for my X pattern TPU Case.
