What device did you get play store working on? Fire hd6 or fire hd7

---------- Post added at 01:35 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:35 PM ----------

Is this the fire hd6?
[Fire HD 6 and 7 General] s1urpee:
Yeah I got it working on the fire hd 6
[Fire HD 6 and 7 General] AlbusAngelus:
This is the same setup you are using for 4th Gen or are you talking about 3rd Gen?

You have it confirmed working? What versions of everything are you using? I'm still having force close hiccups, and temporary instability. No matter what version of anything I try it seems to be the same or very similar results.
[Fire HD 6 and 7 General] AlbusAngelus:
Here ya go.
[Fire HD 6 and 7 General] DoLooper:
Have you yet tried putting everything back to /data and using the method I suggested on page 1 (post 7)? I think s1urpy confirmed he did that. (Although it is all getting a bit confusing ;)) Also, I can only suggest my method, and only for 7 inch.
[Fire HD 6 and 7 General] s1urpee:
Mine is running just fine on fire hd6 4th Gen since yesterday and still fine
[Fire HD 6 and 7 General] bibikalka:
I agree that this has gotten quite confusing!

Different versions of GAPPS are flying around, so which ones are to be used? I am inclined to remove all the gapps, and start over.

Btw, is there a way to use something like "Flash Gordon", and just install some very basic KitKat nano GAPPS from the zip file directly (within the OS instead of the bootloadeer), since we have r/w root:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2250555 (Flash Gordon)

http://www.androidrootz.com/2015/03/download-android-44x-kitkat-pa-gapps.html (Pico Gapps)

I think the only catch is that first one needs to free some space in /system, because it's pretty tight. I've noticed a few apps that could readily be moved to user such as Amazon Weather or the Word Processor.

If "Flash Gordon" does the job, that'd be the most elegant way to get GAPPS. Anybody used Flash Gordon before?
[Fire HD 6 and 7 General] argrr101:
I have adb installed on my computer, but when I connect my Fire device and type adb devices it is not listed. I have enabled developer options and adb on the device but still nothing. I believe I need the adb drivers for the Fire?
[Fire HD 6 and 7 General] DoLooper:
Post says Flash Gordon works only up to android 4.2.2 (jelly bean), and there are complaints of bricking.

I'm pretty sure this is not a gapps problem. It's that the current google play services just doesn't work with Fire OS 4 -- so no matter what GPS is installed, it'll update to the current version and break the play store. Only fix right now is to install an older version of GPS and prevent it from updating. This could be the version in (whatever) gapps package or something downloaded as i suggest in post #7.

EDIT: After a little thought, a small, up-to-date gapps is a great idea. Now that everyone's getting rooted, the older pre-root one isn't necessary. The micro version here looks good: http://highonandroid.com/android-apps/download-android-4-4-4-gapps/ Play services will still update and break the store, but at least no new framework would be needed. I can't test it, unfortunately, but if you're going to start fresh, why not try it? :)

---------- Post added at 06:30 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:26 PM ----------

Unless you installed adb system-wide, you must open the cmd window from the folder where adb.exe is located.
[Fire HD 6 and 7 General] bibikalka:
In the 2nd link it says that 4.4.3 and 4.4.4 are fine with Flash Gordon. Just google for "flash gordon 4.4.3" I'll try it soon. I guess the main trick is to free up enough of /system, and use the smallest Gapps (pico)
[Fire HD 6 and 7 General] AlbusAngelus:
Okay, thank you I will give this a shot.

If this has success it may be the go to method, it all has gotten a bit confusing. I'll try these when I can most likely in the morning. As soon as we get a good confirmed working way, and the proper versions to use I will revamp and clean up the original post and it will be far less complicated for everyone else! :)
[Fire HD 6 and 7 General] bibikalka:
Just to be on the safe side, rename this after flash gordon to something like .apk_ :

"/system/app/SetupWizard.apk"

There are reports that this file could cause a boot loop for other Fires previously. One can actually find a flashable zip that would remove SetupWizard:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1113751

Some other discussion of how to flash Fires with GAPPS:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2577826

I've spent time digging around on Fire's /system for space, and there are tons of apps that can be converted to user. TTS voices seem to take around 100Mb, then there are a few more, such as Weather, Silk, Kindle. I guess after one starts removing these there is no going back to Amazon updates.

An interesting app is "google now launcher", seems to be the stock version.

Working step by step Please.

Hi .

Just wondered if one of you guys who have it running stable could post a step by step with what to do I have rooted it but every time I get the courage to think about getting gapps to run some has said don't do that do this . it sort of reminds me of the the old magic tricks , Now you see me Now you don't, . :silly:

would be very much appreciated by all who are interested I think. maybe a few auto scripts to run could be and easy option instead of all the typing commands in ADB. :good:

Regards Dave
[Fire HD 6 and 7 General] powerpoint45:
I tried flashgordon before on the fire hd6 but it wouldn't let you install a gapps package. It said it was invalid. Also yes the setupwizard apk will cause a bootloop. It happened to me but it's real easy to fix if you have adb all working and authorized.
[Fire HD 6 and 7 General] DoLooper:
Pretty sure only [MENTION=6623987]s1urpee[/MENTION] has gapps running stable and it required adb commands. It'll be awhile before anything like a script is ready, (unless [MENTION=4469251]powerpoint45[/MENTION] works some magic). [MENTION=1784383]AlbusAngelus[/MENTION] and [MENTION=6680544]bibikalka[/MENTION] are working to make it easier. Just needs more time. Hey, look at it this way, it took 7 months to get root and now after only 7 days you can get gapps working -- if you're willing to jump through some hoops :o
[Fire HD 6 and 7 General] vismxownz:
I'm running a Fire Tab 7" (yes 4th Gen)

Stable running all GAPPS and also the Playstore. I did that twice.

Installed KingRoot and sideloaded superSU.

Marked Google Playstore, Framework and Play Services as Systemapps

FireOS 4.5.3 (?) the latest for sure

Works like a charm since some Days now. Yesterday i did the same to my Girlfriends Fire 7" - worked fine as well no Problem at all.

Also i tried to install CM12 wich failed, CM11 instead worked on the Fire 7" (CM11 tate for 3rd Gen HDX) BUT after it booted up and everything is installed it's slow as hell.

So you need like 1minute to open the Appbar etc. Is't not possible to use it in this contidion. So i flashed again and did all of it again and it's working like a charm again.

I'm going to upload a Youtube video with my ****edup english how i did it

Alternative Launcher

GAPPS

Root

SuperSU Sideload

Change SystemApps

and maybe the CM one - but i'm aware of a brick

Greetings
[Fire HD 6 and 7 General] AlbusAngelus:
A tutorial would be outstanding. Can we please get the version of services, framework, and store you are running successfully? I've tried everything from 6.5.99-current and at least 10 different version of the store all with force closes and sporadic behavior. I've even tried both 070 and 034 services both seem to have the same result. :crying:
[Fire HD 6 and 7 General] s1urpee:
if there a way i can stop google play services from updating it updated today and caused my playstore to go white so i had to use system app converter to uninstall the updates and reboot the tablet to get it working again.
[Fire HD 6 and 7 General] DoLooper:
Hmmm...please let me know if this happened even after using the chattr command in post #7? If you leave gapps in /data/ -- that is, don't convert apps to system -- and follow those steps, it won't update.

Well, anyway, we'll soon learn how vismxownz did it.

.
[Fire HD 6 and 7 General] s1urpee:
So i grabbed an app called Disable service and went to system app tab and Google play store went to the bottom and unchecked check Wifi And Update service and in Google Play Services at the botton disabled update for that also. So far so good
[Fire HD 6 and 7 General] CrazyRach:
Got it working for now

I seem to have got the play store working on my Fire HD 6 for now.

I used kingroot to root and then followed the instruction in the 1st post to get Super SU. I then followed PowerPoints guide to install GAPPS.

After this I followed the original posters intructions. First of all I managed to get google play working, but then after Google play store, google framework and and google play services updated themselves the play store stopped working.

I then reversed all the actions that I had created in system app converter and looked at ways to stop Google framework, google play and google play services from updating.

I found an apk called Disable service. I navigated to google play store and scrolled down and unticked "check Wifi And Update".

After this the updates for the play store and google play services are stopped and the play store now appears to be working. I'll keep you updated as to if this continue or whether I hit any problems.
[Fire HD 6 and 7 General] vismxownz:
Yes this is a working method, also to reset it's enough to simple reset the Google Play-Services after they became Systemapps. After Devicerestart everything should work fine again.

[Fire HD 6 and 7 General] AlbusAngelus:

Fixed the constant force close issues. Updated guide as promised. Thank you all!
[Fire HD 6 and 7 General] AlbusAngelus:
Added two additional folders to block updates from services and store. Still working 100%. Chromecast even seems to be working.
[Fire HD 6 and 7 General] bibikalka:
My thread got nuked due to the app that shall not be mentioned :(

To be very precise, Google Play Services can be adjusted to match the near 240 dpi of HD 6/7. For this, the following version should be used :

Google Play services 7.0.99 (1809214-034) note the last 034, where "4" stands for 240 dpi

http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google...ices-7-0-99-1809214-034-android-apk-download/
[Fire HD 6 and 7 General] AlbusAngelus:
Whoops, complete oversight on my part it's been corrected. Thanks for noticing that!
[Fire HD 6 and 7 General] bibikalka:
Another idea is to figure out what is the fix to Fire that would enable Play Services above 7.0.99.

With root, chances are that one might just be able to update the impacted file and have the new Play services work fine.

But figuring out which part needs replacing may not be so easy ...

If Fire HD gets another update, and somebody reports that newer GPS work, we could scavenge that newer version for fixed files.
[Fire HD 6 and 7 General] alucard_xs:
well I've got no data\app directory, I have only data directory with nothing Inside ...

and I can't create a directory called app in that directory ...

I forgot to turn off wifi during the installation of the 5 apks, is it a problem ?
[Fire HD 6 and 7 General] AlbusAngelus:
The location where you create the directory is

\data\app\"CREATE DIRECTORY HERE"

It'll only be a problem if it doesn't allow you to create those directories. That would mean something has been updated and you'll have to uninstall the 4 google APK's and start that part again. They will auto update if you don't create the dummy apk's.

EDIT

I'm at work right now but I can take screenshot where to create them when I get home.
[Fire HD 6 and 7 General] alucard_xs:
so i guess womething went wrong and uptaded something ... should I have to uninstall the 5 apk ? or 4 ? and where are they now ? it seems they are in system now ???

---------- Post added at 09:35 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:34 AM ----------

Google Account Manager, Google Playstore, Google Services Framework, and Google play services into system apps. ? now they are in system app no ? it's hazardous to uninstall them ?

I've got no app directory in data directory ... creating them shouls not be a problem for me but the actuel problem is that I do not have any directory in the data directory, so what to do ?
[Fire HD 6 and 7 General] AlbusAngelus:
Did you enable root explorer in ES File explorer? You will need to see these locations.

Yes they are system apps, uninstall them and start again.
[Fire HD 6 and 7 General] alucard_xs:
Did you enable root explorer in ES File explorer? You will need to see these locations. : is it a option in parameters ?

I'm on the root directory and I confirm : no app directory in data directory.

btw how can i uninstall the apk put in system apps (I mean do i have to transform them in normal apps ?) ? do i have to use appmover apk again ? or can i uninstall them using the amazon launcher as an ordinary apk ?
[Fire HD 6 and 7 General] AlbusAngelus:
It's an option in ES File Explorer's settings. I'm not sure if you can uninstall from amazon launcher or not, The apps you need to uninstall are:

Google Play Services

Google Play Framework

Google Play Store

Google Account Manager

If you cant do it from the amazon launcher let me know and I'll figure something out for you.

EDIT:

If you cant do it use the system app mover to move them back to User apps and uninstall them that way.
[Fire HD 6 and 7 General] alucard_xs:
I put them in normal apk now but I can't uninstall them, I can't find them ... btw do i have to reboot after putting them in normal apks ?
[Fire HD 6 and 7 General] AlbusAngelus:
I don't have my kindle with me... try settings then applications, put it on 3rd party apps and see if you see them there.

Not sure if you have to reboot or not, I wouldn't think so but it wouldn't hurt.
[Fire HD 6 and 7 General] alucard_xs:
ok i found them ... so uninstall then reinstall with wifi off ?
[Fire HD 6 and 7 General] AlbusAngelus:
Taking this to PM.
[Fire HD 6 and 7 General] alucard_xs:
ok dude ;)

[Fire HD 6 and 7 General] dwoycheshen:
Amazing. Forget rooting your tablet. It's a lost cause until someone can break the bootloader.

This solution is one I have been looking for since I got this stupid tablet. It's a great little tablet but it's choked by the fire os.

You can use the play store as normal and I haven't had any major issues getting things like Google play to work. Some games run slow which could be a lot of things but it works. Youtube installs just fine and works smooth. Hempire in particular and adventure capitalist crash. Gboard seems to be working fine enough. IDK just something more to play with on an otherwise crippled device.

---------- Post added at 12:42 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:41 AM ----------

Sounds like you may your stuff together but have you tried clearing the cache for the 4 programs you installed. Try that and reboot before opening play store again.
[Fire HD 6 and 7 General] spyroz540:
No problem, i actually fixed my issue months ago.

I absolutely agree with you on this tablet, the system performance is absymal, every single animation stutters for a bit, there are delays, it's overall a laggy experience.

I gotta admit though - the kindle fire hd 6 has a nice combination of it's CPU and GPU, for me system performance suffers but gaming performance is overall, great ! to be honest.

The only reason that let's this tablet down, is of-course, Fire OS. If it only had atleast LineageOS or Ressurection Remix, everything would be so quick.

My kindle fire stuff is shown in my XDA Signature, but even with NOVA Launcher, the tablet still sucks at opening settings.

This tablet seems abandoned by developers, we just need the bootloader unlock and come on, atleast - stock lollipop, marshmallow, nougat or oreo - straight from google + root.
[Fire HD 6 and 7 General] dwoycheshen:
This is how orphans feel I guess. Just like the little play book from blackberry. The hardware feels nice and it's quick enough but it's essentially only good for web (barely) and email. But it's the software that let's it down. And no support from the developer. Like I get it they move on with bigger projects but at least let the hackers hack.

Hello! I'm new at custom roms so I probably did something wrong and I'm stuck at a recovery bootloop. Firstly, I rooted my phone and unlocked the bootloader. I flash a recovery,wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache partition and installed cm-12-20150516-NIGHTLY-nicki and gapps-lp-20150222-signed. Finally, I rebooted the system . Unfortunately after that step I'm stucked in a recovery bootloop.

We've had root on LB since the 4.2 days. I rooted my phone back then, and kept it ever since. Unlocked the BL for some time, locked again, no loss.

If you're not comfortable with some Chinese closed source app running on your phone and applying some undisclosed root method that they claim is used by "other Chinese apps that need to get root", just downgrade , root, and flash back LP. It's much safer IMHO.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] migidid:
Safer yeah :) but the amount of work on that method that needs to be done is huge. Atleast compared to kingroot method that takes a minute, another for installing superSU...
