Any word on a working play store app? Wife got a Fire Tablet today on 4.5.3 and so far its unrootable and most google things arent working. Thinking about a new tablet at this point.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] DB126:
If your family is looking for unfettered access to the play store you should definitely look for another device. It will be awhile before alternative roms become available to newer Kindles and most play store implementations are hacks at best. While the hardware is wonderful you really have to be wed to the Amazon ecosystem to truly appreciate the device (or be fortunate enough to have an 'older' model that can be rooted/unlocked and run a Google friendly rom).
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] myke66:
I appreciate the frank reply. I was able to set her up with Chrome and Gmail which were her main concerns. The 1Mobile 3rd party marketplace had any of the other apps she was looking for. I also finished moving all her books over so she's going to take it for a spin this weekend when we head to the beach for a night and see how it goes.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] DB126:
If you are comfortable with 1moble (one of my favorite 'alternative' marketplaces) then many of the shortcomings inherent with the Amazon store can be mitigated. Chrome (more often Gmail) can get fussy without google services/framework. Opera is a nice alternative that utilizes the same core engine as Chrome. Gmail is a little tougher to directly emulate; plenty of alternatives if the Gmail app coughs up a fur ball (I happen to like Aquamail). You really don't need root but if you choose to do so Xposed framework adds a few nice touches that can further tame an HDX without compromising native functionality.

Hope it works out for you folks.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] lekofraggle:
You can run Google services framework without root. People have been having issues with the newer builds however. If it does not work for you, try build version 7.0.99.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] DB126:
That will work for now (thanks [MENTION=3038165]lekofraggle[/MENTION] for the tip) but be aware Google is quickly adapting apps to leverage capabilities introduced in newer builds of services framework. For now that appears confined to Maps and Google Now (eg: card features) and primarly targets Lollipop.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] lekofraggle:
You are welcome. I know about the impending issue with Google play services. Hopefully they fix the issues soon. Google maps works for now but complains.

zip offline

Hey the zip archive you hosted is offline. Can anyone point me to a working alternative?

Edit:

After messing around for an hour I found fitting versions for each of the apks and got Youtube to work.

For anyone interested in the apks I used, here: (I'm not allowed to post links apparently)

mega

.nz/#!ltNUzChI!pqwVp4zfE-duHqWrbPsKBJZw5JuuV_o_fxN0oUtUNFo they are, named in the order I installed them.

I had issues installing the Google Services Framework, I tried to versions both of which couldn't be installed at first. After some tries I the one with with nr. "02 02..." worked and the rest worked fine.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] Toastysoul:
I installed the apps, youtube opens okay, I can browse okay, but as soon as I try and play a video, it stops working. The app doesn't time out, but the time on the video stretches out to like 27hrs and I just end up with a rotating circle. I have done a factory reset before trying this, as it's with a replacement tablet. What's frustrating is, I had this working fine, along with youtube kids on the old one (HD6 Kids edition). My son spilled some water on the screen, wife cleaned it up, now it's stuck in some kind of on/off reboot loop. So frustrating.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] DB126:
Getting the native YouTube app to work on FireOS v4 without the full Google framework is increasingly difficult. The framework itself is a challenge to install and maintain as it doesn't play nice with FireOS. Your best bet is to go with a different rom but that requires some work and risk to your device. An alternative is to sideload an alternative marketplace like 1Mobile which gives you access to 80% of the apps on Google Play. You can then install a YouTube friendly browser like Opera. You don't need 1Mobile to get Opera, FireFox or other popular browsers but it makes the process easier. I would stay away from Chrome and it appears to be building dependencies on Google Play Services which you do not have nor want on your device.

[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] jmdrizen:
One strange thing I've noticed with my Ameo, is that the items aren't sorted in the Start\Programs folder when viewed via the start menu.

I know this is a bit picky, but I'd rather this as it's quicker to find the stuff that I'm looking for.

Is this an easy thing to sort out?

Cheers!
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] cornelius:
You mean sort aplhabetic?

Simply remove the following registry key and normal service will be resumed:

Or something else?
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] divi:
I removed "Order" line in

/HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Software/Microsoft/Shell/StartMenu

and after restart my Kaiser all icons in Program folder are sorted by alphabetical order.

IT'S WORKING!

I've updated my Desire EYE to lollipop a few weeks ago when the update rolled out to my country, and ever since, it has been extremely slow. It now takes 8-10 seconds to open the camera etc. Anyone else facing these issues? I've already tried a factory reset and have deleted any unneccesary apps.

[Moto E Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] -Adarsh-:
Dont worry..i will help you buddy...first tell me which game..

Every game requires their data in a specific folder inside android/data or android/obb

Even some gameloft games need their data to be inside gameloft/games...with root if u r using xposed .get xinternalsd..or else download foldermount .it is used to link the folders..meaning as u know the games will access the internal to get their data and what this app do is that it directs the game to access another specific folder inside sd card.u just need to create a blank folder of the specific name the game requires and place it where it should be placed(i will help u in this if u r confused where to place) so that the game finds it and u need to link that to the data folder inside sd card so that when the game access it and thinks"Ohh! I found the data folder!lets enter into it" then it gets inside the sd card and access the data and the game start :P(thats a funny explanation :p)

If u can tell me the game u r trying i will tell u where to place the folder and what should be the name of that folder (incase its not mentioned any where)

[Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simonfoy:
I can't seem to be able to choose between the Nokia 930 & 1020.

Music is important to me, as is web browsing, YouTube etc but I also want it to have a good camera.

I currently own the Samsung Note 3 so it has to be an upgrade (camera wise) to what I already have. There isn't much point if I am not going to notice the difference. All my photo's go onto my 27" mac screen, 48" TV screen and my PC so quality and clarity in photo's is a must.

Can you in the know help please? I haven't had a Windows phone before.

Grateful thanks Simon
[Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MirwaisOrbit:
Both are good

Well, if you own a Note 3, then I would suggest a Lumia 1520 because of the large screen, and also because the camera features are the same of 930 and closely to what you would get with 1020. Of course that 1020 has some few greater features about its camera, the resolution is the first and most important of them. But I think that 20Mpx offered by 930 or 1520 is enough for ordinary use. The greatest thing about Lumia cameras is the possibility to adjust the shutter, which would give you excelent image results during night or low light. Yeah, a little bit boring and difficult to keep the camera static in hands when you are in a hurry, but 1 second or 2.5 seconds is enough to do the job and it's not that much time. Anyway, if you don't want to work with the shutter, you have other options like ISO or Brightness, which helps a lot too.

I have a 1520, and I'm incredibly satisfied with it. It is the last high end Windows Phone under Nokia trademark, and will be the best for a long time. Even knowing that right now there are phones with better hardwares (like G3, Z3, Note 4 or S6), the 1520 (like 930 or 1020) has more than enough for its Windows OS, which is light, fluid and stable. Above all, it is a very smart system that disables what you are not using and keeps only the necessary alive, so the battery life is very satisfying and the memory keeps most of it free for the apps you are actually using at the moment.

I love Android, but Windows were a big surprise for me and I had no problems migrating from one to another. But the biggest problem is the app store. It is still very bad. No way to compare the quality of Instagram or Facebook apps between Android and Windows. Windows versions seems like preview or test versions, and a lot of apps that are famous between Android or iOS users you will not find at Windows Store. For playing games, it is great... and the experience can be better if you have an XBox like for those ones who have Z3 and Playstation.

I'm not an app eater anymore, so... apps don't make a huge difference for me. If you feel the same, then a Windows Phone is an excelent choice. If I had to choose between 930 and 1020, then 1020 would be. I don't like the design of the 930, its aluminum construction makes it thicker and heavier than others. But I recomend 1520, also because after Lumia Camera update, it can now make 4k movies at 30fps.
[Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simonfoy:
thanks so much for the detailed reply. Greatly appreciated x
[Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vcfan:
if web browsing is important to you, the 930 has a better cpu so you'll get faster web rendering
[Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] VSparxx:
There is also audio quality, which is FANTASTIC , i truly didn't believed my ears when i watched some video from a concert, the audio was absolutely stunning, from highs to lows all was there, no more filtering and all that what others do, believe me, you'll be shocked when you'll hear it.

Here the main differences are that 1020 records audio in mono( but the quality is also great), but if you want a really good experience i'd take the 930 or 1520 as they record in stereo with directional microphones.

Also you'll get the latest features, such as fast camera start and fast 4k video capture if you buy the 930/1520, due to much improved hardware.

So to say if to compare 1020 with 930/1520, then the win of 1020 is only at raw camera photo capabilities, as video, photo to photo time, and all other features are better on the other 2 phones, oh...there is also possible to shoot in RAW so that's also some unique feature not available elsewhere.

Also due to better specs the OS is much quicker and load times of heavy apps/games are a lot better.
[Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MirwaisOrbit:
Yes. Truly fantastic. It's amazing how great is its audio recording. Even when you send voice messages thru Whatsapp the quality difference is noticed when compared to other voice messages sent by friends who have different phones. It records whispers whitout being necessary to short the distance between the phone and your mouth. Its recording device is impressive.

The bad thing is that you can't say the same thing about it's speakers. 1520 has a mono speaker which users can easily cover it with their hand or fingers and if they do that the sound almost disappear. It's powerful anyway when nothing blocks it, but could be better if Windows provided a better sound application with more detailed features than just an equalizer. That is something I miss with Android and its Viper4Android, which is awesome.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] angelfzayas:
Hi guys, since upgrading to a stock ATT M8 (from a rooted ATT M7) on December, I have wanted to do the Lollipop update, but I do not want to risk the phone by rooting it (maybe I could do it on a last case scenario). ATT recently pushed the OTA update to the M8, but mine is unlocked, and I'm currently using it on Claro PR, so when I check for updates it gives me nothing. So here goes my question, can I manually download and push the ATT update from HTC to the M8 (as it is on stock kit kat)? My only doubt is that since it's unlocked, could it brick during the process, or would it be alright? Thanks in advance!
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] CavyS:
Is it SIM unlocked or unlocked from HTC? Unlocked from HTC means it has no carrier branding/bloatware and can be used on any network, compared to SIM unlocked where its just an AT&T phone with AT&T apps and branding that is SIM unlocked. If its unlocked from HTC you could just use an RUU to update. If its SIM unlocked from AT&T you could use an RUU but I'm unaware if that would then break the SIM unlock.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] angelfzayas:

[AT&T LG G3] aybarrap1:
I think it is more about the fact that you are "downgrading" since the phones rolling out now have better specs such as octa cores vs quad. However, if you are content with the phone, then I say forget what others think and enjoy it. If you go the full two standard years between phone upgrades, then you should have no worries. Worst case is that you may not see system updates to the latest versions of Android. Of course that is one of the reasons XDA exists...to get a custom of the latest .
