sudden problems

upgraded to 4.5.2 over the weekend. Everything worked great google play store perfect, clash of clans perfect. happy as a clam. Today amazon pushed down a sub to the washington post that I clicked on and read a bit then went to uninstall because I dont really read much on this tablet. Now google play store wont open, just a white screen never goes anywhere. Same w clash of clans and clash of lords just sits there saying verifying account. I think it uses facebook for its info. The net does work I tried a few searches in the silk browser. I have tried normal and hard reboots. Not sure if I need to uninstall google services again or what. Any ideas would be appreciated.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] DB126:
Most likely due to a recent update to Google Play services. Take a look around the forums. There are several solutions floating around with varying degrees of success. In a nutshell you need to downgrade to the prior version of GPS and then take steps to prevent an automatic upgrade.

That file isn't in the zip I downloaded from the preferred link, am I missing something obvious here?
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] maccaberry:
The version of gapps that you downloaded is a new version (check the date on it). I think google have updated gapps and the files have changed. You might have to find the older version of gapps that has the correct files to be able to follow the instructions in the OP. Hopefully the instructions will soon be updated to match the new gapps files.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] stormerider:
I just did this after upgrading from 3.2.5 to 4.5.2. I was able to get Google Play Store to open up, realize some apps were out of date, and when I tried to update one, it closed the store app. Trying to reopen it, it just closes again. Rebooted, same behavior afterwards. I'm wondering if there's something that I need to clear out from my old 3.2.5 setup that's causing this, or maybe it's related to the thread here: http://xdaforums.com/kindle-fire-hdx/general/play-store-stopped-t3089299
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] DB126:
Likely related to a recent update to Google Play services (v7.3). You'll need to install an older version (v7.0 or below) and then block Google updates so Play services and potentially other apps that have dependencies on v7.3 don't auto-upgrade. Look around the forums for guidance. There seems to be a couple solutions floating around but it's unclear which is favored and whether side effects, if any, have been mitigated.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] stormerider:
Ah, sorry, forgot to mention I removed the one that was installed and pushed 7.0.99 over via ADB and rebooted. Same situation.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] DB126:
Nothing native to 3.2.5 should cause this problem and I have not heard of others who face Play Store difficulties after upgrading to 4.5.x. That said, there may be something hanging around from your previous install that is mucking things up. In your shoes I would uninstall Play Services, Store and any Google apps that have direct dependencies. Reboot and use a 'cleaner app' to ferret out left overs. Don't go crazy, just looking for a folder or collection of files that seem out of place. You don't want to break anything. Then try an even lower version of Play Services (check the forums for a suitable package) and see what happens.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] stormerider:
What cleaner app would you recommend? I'm somewhat paranoid about malware, especially how touchy the KF is about bricking itself.

---------- Post added at 11:15 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:07 PM ----------

Also, do I still need HDXposed, or is that moot with 4.5.x?
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] DB126:
The topic of cleaner apps is always controversial. In general they are misunderstood, highly abused an usually unnecessary. Many are pure junk and conduits for ads and crapware. That said, there are times when a well designed app can make it easier/safer to identify and removed unwanted components. Three suggestions:

- ES Task Manager (cache cleaner and app manager)

- CleanMaster - well regarded and widely available but contains a modest amount of bloat and advertising

- SD Maid - has stood the test of time; throwback graphics (holy Gingerbread!) but more through than the others

As with any cleaner app what you find is often more important than the cleaning operation itself as

you are looking for clues

toward a safe solution. Use caution removing unknown components especially if you grant these tools root access.

---------- Post added at 11:15 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:07 PM ----------

I do not use HDXposed. The app has not been updated in over a year. A step forward when released; better options exist today.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] stormerider:
Thanks. I actually found that just removing the related Play apps and reinstalling them seemed to do the trick.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] DB126:
Yup - uninstalling/reinstalling should always be near the top of the debugging list on Android. Has fixed many a problem with minimal risk. In this case it was associated/related apps as discussed in an earlier post. Glad to hear all is well.

Completely reinstall GAPPS?

I am in a mess after Google killed my GAPPS with their faulty Google Services Update. How can I completely remove and reinstall the GAPPS package? Can I uninstall simply by following the description in this thread in reverse order?

UPDATE

With Titanium Backup I have removed everything that looked Google related. Then I have manually installed the most recent GAPPS package "gapps-kk-20150412-minimal-edition-signed". GMail and Google Plus apps are back to normal now. The Google Play Store opens too with my account. However, I cannot update or download any apps due to an error: "error retrieving information from server" "-RPC: S-7".

I know that in order to solve this I have to delete and set up my Google account again on this device. However I don't know how to delete the current account...?
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] DB126:
Please don't cross post the same question in multiple threads. Look for a response to you original post (made just an hour earlier) shortly.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] fabische:
sorry, no bad intentions, It's just that this problem concerns the GAPPS thread as well as the Google Play thread. I won't do it again. Promise! And thanks for your really helpful reply in the Play Store thread!
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] DB126:
Try clearing cache and data from the standard apps menu under settings. This should have happened during the uninstall/reinstall but something may have been left behind. A stronger measure is to remove and readd your Google account from the device. I have not done this on a populated device in awhile. I don't believe there are significant side effects but you may want to wait for other responses before trying.

HDX Soft Bricked

i moved all the apk files into /system/app, restarted, and now my Kindle is stuck booting (not a boot loop). Is there anything I can do? I tried a factory reset from the Kindles recovery but that didn't do anything. Would it be possible to access the system partition from my laptop, and remove the Google related apks while it's stuck booting like this? I would really appreciate the help.

messed up permissions setting

I changed the permissions on the /system folder to 0644 and the device screen went blank.

I then saw it was supposed to be the specific files and subfolders that needed the change of permission... have I bricked it?

Downgrade from 4.5.3 to 4.5.2

I goofed and let my HDX 7" get OTA updated from 3.5.2 to 4.5.3. Now, I'd at least like to get GApps on it, but I need to downgrade to 4.5.2. I put the BIN file on my sdcard, but when I went to update, it wouldn't let me, stating that it is an old version. I've read that others in the post have done it. What are the steps involved?
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] DB126:
You have to downgrade to 3.2.8 then upgrade to 4.5.2. Instructions here. After upgrading you need to immediately disable OTA (here) or you'll be right back on 4.5.3.

Be aware there are issues with various gapps implementations. Some related to having multiple frameworks/stores on the same device (Amazon and Google), others due to a recent update to Google Play services (v7.3.29 is especially problematic). You may want to hold off awhile until the dust settles; can still sideload apps or use a different marketplace. Also note there is a soft brick risk downgrading/upgrading as evidenced by several recent attempts gone wrong.

Keep wifi off and delete all wifi profiles so your device can't connect. Don't linger long at 3.2.8 unless you explicitly block OTA using HDX Toolkit or similar approach. Good luck.

OK so I got this all working but Google play service updates automatically. Does anyone know a way to prevent this from happening? Thanks.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] kalvanix:
Hey guys thx for all your work on this forum. I followed this tutorial and everything works. But the play store works only a few hours/days then he doesnt download apps anymore. I'm not sure to understand the posts below because i'm italian and maybe i cant get it all. Anyway to fix temporarily i uninstall google play services and then i reinstall it (version 7.0.99) now if i understood good the problem is the automatically gps upgrade, so how can i block it? If there is a tutorial of how to do someone can give me the thread? It's very difficult for me to find it. Thank you
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] lekofraggle:
Take a look at the following post. Of you do not want to mess with terminal or busybox, scroll down a few posts for another alternative.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=60361820

If in the future you ant to reverse it, just run the command

chattr -I to the file as opposed to chattr +I

If you messed with other g apps files, you may need to start over the the gapps install.

Good luck.

I've managed to Kingroot my 4.5.3 - any idea if the Gapps method/ota disable will also work on this OS version with the root?
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] lekofraggle:
It should.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] dbo_texas:
I've been reading up on the instructions for a few hours but I have one question before I do this. I already did the 3.2.8 rollback and then the update to 4.5.2. My next step would be to root, then disable OTA updates so it doesn't update to 4.5.3. However, in order to disable the OTA updates I need to install ES File Explorer (or another) so I can get root access and rename the DeviceSoftwareOTA.apk. My issue: how do I side load ES Explorer without getting it from the Amazon App store, which forces me to connect wi-fi which then auto-updates me t 4.5.3? I know I can download the APK for ES Explorer and load it onto the Fire storage, but how do I actually install it? Is there an easy way to do that without going through ADB? Sorry in advance if I missed something...I've read a lot tonight.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] DB126:
The safest approach is to install ES File Explorer (or similar tool) via ADB. The procedure is rather simple will likely work without much effort/troubleshooting:

- from a Windows pc (desktop/laptop) download mfastboot-v2 (here)

- unzip above archive into a directory of your choosing (suggest c:\mfastboot)

- download ES File Explorer apk to your PC (make sure its from a reputable source) and copy it to the above directory

- from your Kindle enable ADB (under settings->device)

- connect (tether) your Kindle to your PC; use the charge cable that came with it (any decent micro-USB cable will do)

- verify you can see your Kindle in Windows Explorer

- open a Window command prompt and switch to the appropriate directory

- verify connectivity via the following command: adb devices

- issue the following command: adb install <app name.apk>

There are similar procedures for OSX or Linux; a little googling should help with the details.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] dbo_texas:
Thanks for the instructions. I went ahead and risked turning on the wi-fi so I could quickly log in to Amazon account and grab ES Explorer from the Amazon App store. It did download the 4.5.3 update before I could even get ES Eplorer, but fortunately it did NOT automatically install the update. So I was then able to root, and then rename the OTA update file and now all appears to be good. I'm still at 4.5.2 and it no longer tells me the 4.5.3 is waiting to be installed. If something happens and it forces the update, I'll start over and use the ADB push method you describe here. Thanks!
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] DB126:
Great! As a precaution you should delete the update file that was downloaded to your device - both to save space and prevent an accidental install. It may also create problems if you opt to upgrade at a later time. Just search for 'bin' in ES File Explorer. The update will have a distinguishing name containing '4.5.3' and likely be located in the 'Home' directory. If unsure post the name(s) found and someone will confirm its identity.

Don't forget to install a root manager such as SuperSU.

OP: Pl update he gapp updates link in your original posting. Many folks are running into troubles as serious as bricking their fires. your original instructions are for old gapp version but the link points to the newest gapp version which holds no good for the list of instructions to get gapps.

---------- Post added at 09:26 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:16 PM ----------

Can someone upload the correct old file for the gapp if they have downloaded before?

2. How to install Google Play Apps

Step 1:

Aquire the GApps for KitKat. Preferably here
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] lekofraggle:
The link works fine. Gapps 4.4 is for kit Kat. On the top of the link's page there is a link to the lollipop version, but if we ignore that, everything works fine.

The issue many people have is with setupwizard.apk. Skip that file when installing gapps.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] SlidingBike:
Thanks Lakofraggle.

But if you can see the .png image attached to the OP, the "PrebuiltGMSCore.apk" file is not in there in "priv-app" folder when I download the OP's link.

Also this issue was pointed out before in this post in this thread.

Also can I sideload individual google apks from the "priv-app" folder? is there any disadvantage in sideloading them separately instead of installing them as GAPP suit?

Thanks again.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] lekofraggle:
That is odd. It is okay though. You want to use gms 7.0.99 and you just install it like a normal app. Do not put it in priv-app or even system/app for that matter. Double click it, and install. It will go in data/app like every other general application.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] Jakeyboydaman:
I was wondering, I fully rooted and installed these gapps, but I wanted a more full kit kat gapps. Is it possible to install another on top of my current gapps?
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] SlidingBike:
How did you install gapps from the OP link? from which folder you used "PrebuiltGMSCore.apk" ?
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] lekofraggle:
Here is a link to the file. Download it and install like a normal app. It will go into data/app.

After my third complete reinstallation of fire os and permanent gapps trouble I have realized that it is crucial to stop all automatic updates in Google play store. Use an older version of Google play services and download the corresponding (older) Google apps from apkmirror.com . You have to block all updates of Google apps and you will see that everything will run smoothly.:)

I am stupid :mad:

In /system/priv-app/ i have removed the file DeviceSoftwareOTA.apk and a file with nearly the same name but longer.

My device boot but don't open the home screen. I also can't access the settings. But i can copy files to the device with usb. I also have root and adb.

Can someone upload this two files from Thor 4.5.2? I want to restore this files with adb. I hope this fix my problem.

Thank You

Because the update file is a normal archive, i have this two files now.

[Zooper Widget Templates] bsavarin:
Hello all,

I've created a Zooper widget which I would like to share with you all. I was also hoping to create my very first APK to share on Google Play, but I've been experiencing a "failed java.io.filenotfoundexception" error with my Roboto fonts, which meant I can't decompress my zwapk.zip files in Android Studio. Any advice would be gratefully accepted :)

Anyway, I've created a set of six widgets, inspired by the new Material Design. I do hope you enjoy them.

Please note that you will need Zooper Widget Pro and Media Utilities installed, or the widgets won't work!!!

Contents

The calendar dates display "Today", "Tomorrow", or the dates if neither

"All Day" if it's an all day event, otherwise the time

Indicators will be displayed for new texts, calls and Gmail

Hotlinks for text, calls, Gmail, email, Whatsapp, album art, music controls, calendar icon

1. Blue Widget - a full screen widget with time, date, weather forecast, calendar, battery/alarm indicator, text/call/Gmail and music now playing. (4x4 on smaller screens, 5x4 or 6x4 on larger screens and tablets)

2. Blue Widget Clock - half screen widget with time, date, weather and forecast. (4x2 on smaller screens, 5x2 or 6x2 on larger screens and tablets)

3. Blue Widget Calendar - half screen widget with next 5 calendar events. (4x2 on smaller screens, 5x2 or 6x2 on larger screens and tablets)

4. Blue Widget Status and Music - half screen widget with battery and alarm, calls/texts/Gmail etc, track now playing (4x2 on smaller screens, 5x2 or 6x2 on larger screens and tablets)

5. Blue Widget Music Small - half screen widget with track now playing (4x2 on smaller screens, 5x2 or 6x2 on larger screens and tablets)

6. Blue Widget Music Large - 3/4 screen widget with track now playing (4x4 on smaller screens, 5x4 or 6x4 on larger screens and tablets)

INSTRUCTIONS:

Copy the zw files in the link below into your ZooperWidget/Templates folder, choose the recommended sizes above (this may vary depending on your screens), then load the widget of your choice. If the hotlinks do not work, choose the application in the Widget OnTap actions again and they should work.

Please let me know what you think or if you have any questions!! Enjoy.
