I'm not 100% sure of your questions but I'll tell you what I know.. You're right, an XDA Exec does not come with software to make it full VGA out of the box.

I never understood why it ran in QVGA until I tried ozVGA (came pre-installed with a custom AKU 3.3 ROM) but now I know -- in VGA mode the title/softkey bars, and almost everything is VERY small. I have pretty good eyesight, and I expected everything to be small, but it's seriously small!

I've attached some screenies, but XDA-Dev resized them. You can find the native solution screenshots here:

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Alkhal:
So how do you go about making the Universal use True VGA?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Midget_1990:
it depends what rom you have.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Alkhal:
Is it something you can install with a cab file?
[Amazon Fire Phone] Lianju7:
Just noted this as well. The fun part is i celebrated the 4.6.1 Update with ordering* 2 used firephones for dirt-cheap in new condition - which just arrived some minutes ago.

Can tell you, that's some big "F0ck you" i got just now.

I have to add that Google Hangouts sadly is also broken.

(*=because "Hey, i can get now google apps (and hangouts) working. This phone is now _flawless_")
[Amazon Fire Phone] kieranc88:
I don't use hangouts, hopefully the next Google services update fixes the problem
[Amazon Fire Phone] nw_mr2:
I will +1 this issue. Better than the "Play Services has stopped responding" that I was getting before the 4.6.1 upgrade, but hopefully we can find a way around it...
[Amazon Fire Phone] Lianju7:
A maybe possible "solution" that came up to me:

While still functioning (by freshly installing gplay services and gplay market), download _all the things(tm)_ you need.

Then try to get a working gPlay services apk, dump the - now by the update broken - gPlay services and gPlay market and install the working gPlay services, but leave out the market which would try to auto-update and flip **** again.

It's just a bad workaround. But if it might work, i'm fine with it. It's not like you have to browse the gPlay market every day.
[Amazon Fire Phone] ddarkraven:
So what Google play services did you install? I use hangouts everyday so I'd gladly give up the play store for hangouts
[Amazon Fire Phone] kieranc88:
Would you not get the "This app needs an updated version of Google play services" error eventually
[Amazon Fire Phone] jaywong:
I removed Google Play Store and downgraded Google Play Services back to 4.4.52. The latest Google Play Services causes many issues like battery drain and force closes on Fire OS 4.6.1.

So I installed Google Maps 6.14.4 and it works perfectly with Google Now Launcher. The launcher works perfectly, even "OK Google" commands and wallpapers work. Google Drive, Sheets, Camera, Translate all work without the latest Google Play Services. Latest versions of Google Wallet and Google+ linking don't work without latest Play Services, I'll try older versions and update this thread.
[Amazon Fire Phone] Lianju7:
I just found an _very_ ugly hack and might post soon if it's reproductive.

Confirmed to work: Hangouts, Maps, Youtube, Chrome (Chrome doesn't depend on the play services anyway.)
[Amazon Fire Phone] kieranc88:
Post it man lol. I'm intriqued
[Amazon Fire Phone] Lianju7:
Well, that's bad. I can't delete my own comments.

It's like the same procedure _you_ explained in http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=60279359&postcount=13 - just a bit simpler.

The thing is, it won't survive a reboot and takes time, so it's useless. The sad thing is, that you don't even have to open the gPlay store. It will update itself, without having you open it.

Edit:

To answer your question:

- Reboot the phone, as any previous attempts to "repair" do interrupt the process

- Take ES File Explorer and install Google Play Services 7.0.99, like from as you provided here: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=60279359&postcount=13

- install any version of gPlay store, open up a google app - the gPlay store will automatically do an update of itself and gPlay services in the background

- go to the system settings and delete the gPlay store (no time to be lazy here, timing counts)

- you should now have a somewhat broken gPlay-services app that even allows to open (having you ignore the popup) and working gApps like Youtube or Hangouts.

And as mentioned before, a reboot - forced by a crash or done manually - will force you to redo the steps above.
[Amazon Fire Phone] kieranc88:
Yes I realized with the play store after a RebootI thought I had it fixed also, I don't know any other solution until we get an updasee services and hope that fixes it.
[Amazon Fire Phone] ddarkraven:
Oh man so I can't restart my phone or I have to do it over... Hope this gets fixed soon...
[Amazon Fire Phone] markwebb:
This worked! Thanks! I usually don't reboot this phone so it should be good. I had to do this twice btw, but it finally stuck.
[Amazon Fire Phone] hydromän:
I have a 7.0.99 gplay Services on /sdcard/.. If i have to Reboot my Phone and Services updatet, i delete Services and install 7.0.99 + force stop play Store. One Minute to Do and PlayStore is working again. And gplay Services Not updating again until next Reboot.

If im going then to the PlayStore to play Services, i can update it If i want..
[Amazon Fire Phone] ulises.rodriguez:
Same here...

If I install the Google Play Services v7.0.99 and never reboot the Fire-Phone, the Google Play Store works flawlessly.

However, as you already said, If I have to Reboot my Fire-Phone and the Google-Play-Services "Auto" updates, I have only to delete this "NEW" 7.3.29 Google-Play Services and install 7.0.99...
[Amazon Fire Phone] TansDeva:
Update Google Play Store App

I got its solution:

I tried changing the Google Play Store version by downloading & updating.

Try the below mentioned URL to download Google Play Store, its working totally fine!

apkmirror.com/wp-content/uploads/uploaded/54dd7979177e8/com.android.vending-5.2.13-80321300-minAPI9.apk
[Amazon Fire Phone] mnknight:
ok this works in opening the play store everytime, yet will not download and install any app. this is one step closer to a work around.

---------- Post added at 01:50 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:09 PM ----------

this is an update on what worked for me, so far so good.

download this

apkmirror.com/wp-content/uploads/uploaded/54dd7979177e8/com.android.vending-5.2.13-80321300-minAPI9.apk

uninstall all google apps framework, services, account manager

re-install everything according to the howto for non-root.

open play store sign in, then immediately un-install the store from phone then install the new vending app that I asked you to download.

I believe when you immediately uninstall the store it stops it from upgrading, and was able to install the updated store.
[Amazon Fire Phone] contact.ace:
Hangouts may be

Latest google play store 5.4.12 works fine with play services 7.0.99

As long as you do not use hangouts (uninstall or force stop it) the play services stays at 7.0.99 and all the other things work well.

May be someone else can try this out.

I can probably stay away from hangouts until a working version of play services arrives.
[Amazon Fire Phone] hydromän:
I installed the PlayStore from crackberry board. This PlayStore cant self update. I hope He cant update Services too. I tried to Reboot 3 Times and is still working. Give your more Feedback tomorrow
[Amazon Fire Phone] JHowell1158:
I can assure anyone who is curious that this works! I had a issue with snapchat, doing this fixed my issue!

Now, will me opening the play store, and downloading things from it mess it up and update it? And if I reboot my phone, is it guaranteed to still work?
[Amazon Fire Phone] ddarkraven:
How is this working? Link?
[Amazon Fire Phone] mnknight:
I have restarted my phone and it still works. Only other thing I did last night was install a new Google services the 7.0.99 version. This all works, not sure about snapchat or hangouts. I don't use either of those.

I have installed numerous items using the store since doing this. I also have turned auto update off for apps.

Currently I'm using a new launcher that I downloaded from this method, with no issues so far.
[Amazon Fire Phone] dcbrink:
This works. Thanks. Now we just wait for Google to come out with corrected version of Play Services.:)
[Amazon Fire Phone] kieranc88:
It's an ok fix but you have to remember it after every reboot
[Amazon Fire Phone] egglexda:
Battery Drain

quick update ....

noticed rapid battery drain , but this was down to the side-loaded Google Store

with Google processes using over 60% of the battery usage

now deleted and battery use back to normal
[Amazon Fire Phone] ddarkraven:
Yeah. Battery still isn't horrible but services is eating majority of it.
[Amazon Fire Phone] saintsasi:
solved!!

get an app that can help u regulate the permissions of apps like advanced permission manager.

Now remove google play services and playstore from our phone

download Google Play Services 7.0.99 provided here: http://xdaforums.com/show...9&postcount=13

and playstore version 4.4.52

now install google play services open permission manager and uncheck download files without notification in the permissions list

now directly install play services from the app

install playstore and open...it should work

It updates to 5.4.12 but still works

\
[Amazon Fire Phone] TheDynamo:
I've just done what saintsasi suggested and it works fine. Even managed to install google calendar now (hate amazon one) without it pestering to update. Looks like it will have to stay this way until issue is permanently resolved.
[Amazon Fire Phone] egglexda:
couldn't get this working ?

maybe I did something wrong ?

anyone else have any luck ?
[Amazon Fire Phone] Viperise152:
This method does indeed worked. Even held after reboot. I also unistalled Services and installed the 7.0.99 version and everything seams to still be working. I can install apps and Hangouts seems to be working for now. I will update if it breaks overnight or after another reboot test in the morning.
[Amazon Fire Phone] ddarkraven:
This is what ive been using too. It breaks for me sometimes but I just uninstalled service and reinstall and good to go for usually a few hours.
[Amazon Fire Phone] bufferfree:
I am having trouble removing google services, cant even update it, any help?

I am using 32gb unlocked with o2 rom 4.6.1

Fixed it: Package was a system admin
[Amazon Fire Phone] Jake_:
Thanks!!!

This has been the ONLY thing that has worked for me and many thanks!!! I have uninstalled, reinstalled, restarted and finally just totally removed all 4 packages of Google Play to stop those annoying "Google Stopped" messages. Following your instructions all has been working perfect again on my Fire phone. Just curious... what is the difference in this version (com.android.vending-5.2.13-80321300-minAPI9.apk) and other Google Play apks? All the others I had tried, the new Google Services loaded almost immediately and I was back to square one. Using this version (com.android.vending-5.2.13-80321300-minAPI9.apk) and your instructions; the old Google Services has stayed intact. As you said... the newest Google Play Store installed but not the Google Play Services. Haven't tried to play with installing Google Play Services 7.0.99 as another user has done because all is working!!!
[Amazon Fire Phone] escape75:
This is the newest version of all 4 apk's as of today:

http://xdaforums.com/fire-phone/general/google-play-store-4-6-1-version-4-apks-t3098592

Some people are complaining about a white screen, it's not specific to the newest version however.

Also the update above is for 4.6.1 as it requires kitkat based on the apk's.
[Amazon Fire Phone] Jake_:
So glad you posted this! I just kept pressing the "update device software" in wifi mode and it finally downloaded 4.6.1. Installed the updated google apks and ALL is working smooth; no google services error messages!!! Even my google maps words are no longer jumbled/blurred like they use to be. Loved my Amazon phone before (except for the annoying google services error messages that use to occur) and now it's faster than ever!!! Also, no white screen for me; I have an unlocked phone using T-Mobile US.

Can you post a step by step post on how to fix the white screen after installing and opening Google play. I am new to Android and fire phone, so please post fire dummies. I an running fire os 4.6.4.
[Amazon Fire Phone] cpnfantstk:
You're going have to downgrade to 4.6.3 for Google Play to work properly. That's what I've read. Google how to do it. It is possible. I had the white screen on 4.6.3 but used the updated files in the first post and now it works. Downgrade then try this again.
[Amazon Fire Phone] raphilevine:
How can I downgrade and ensure that it will not automatically upgrade as it has already done? Can you also post the files (or link to) that need to be installed, as there are so many different posts which make references to different files, I am so confused. Some of them are really old posts too, so not sure which runs are compatible with which versions.

Any reason not to root the phone and install Android (can this even be done?)? I am not crazy about the fire OS. There seem to be lots of simple basics just missing...
[Amazon Fire Phone] signaleleven:
I landed here before finding the solution elsewhere, so I thought I would share it.

If the "blank screen" on google apps started recently for you (after the "Alexa update" from Amazon) installing the 2 apks described in the article below did the trick for me.

1st of all, thanks a lot for this great rom!

I have 2 issues.

When using the navigation app (any) with GPS on, my phone soft-reboots after a few seconds. After reboot, I restart navigation app and it works.

And sometimes (rare) I stop hearing my oppenent during call. Reboot fixes it for some next days.

It does, you just need to enable it.

Under "About Phone" tap on Build Number 7 times and you will see a pop up saying you've enabled developer settings.

Go back to your settings list, and Developer Options will appear near the bottom.

It's one of the first options, you can grant root access to Apps, ADB or both.
