Well, running the script didn't work for me. I tried with two different computers, one with Windows 7 and one with Windows 10. The results were the same. Running "adb devices" had the Kindle showing up properly, and when I ran the script I'd get the USB debug request on the Kindle and OK it, but after a few seconds the script window would just close without any prompts.

On the plus side, doing things the long way worked fine for me. Chrome, Google Play Store, Google Play Books, and Gmail are all working as they should, and I switched the keyboard to Google Keyboard.

Well, the Fire might not be the greatest tablet ever built, but it's probably the greatest $50 tablet ever built. And it does exactly what I wanted it to- Amazon Kindle Books (including the Kindle Owner's Lending Library, which I have with my Prime membership but only works on actual Kindles, not the Kindle app for Android) and Google Play Books (which I use a lot on my phone and therefore wanted to sync with a Kindle).

I'm able to get the Play Store installed with this script, but it won't update Play Services and whenever I launch the Play Store it just says "Check your connection and try again." with a Retry button.

I saw in a different post that you have to use the long method, so I tried that but when installing I get an "App not installed" error.

I think I need to install this the long way on both profiles. Is there a bat to uninstall/reverse the work done with the install bat?

Play Store shows as "Play Store | Work"

I've sort of managed to install Gapps by flashing Opengapps (pico) in TWRP recovery. However, my Play Store app is showing up as "Play Store | Work".

I can successfully search and install apps, but the standard Play Store page is not showing up. Instead, I get a blank screen (see attached).

it's been updated several times, just download twice and compare md5s

[Fire General] Pond-life:
Might be a long shot, but the Amazon Fire launcher doesn't put things in alphabetical order and given the large number of Amazon apps it's probably not on first page of apps, have you scrolled down.

It definitely did show on that launcher for me, though have since gone back to using Apex in preference.

I've got root, and have the play store installed, but it can't find a connection. As soon as I open the play store it says, "Check your connection and try again, Retry".

I reinstalled the com.android.vending-5.9.12-80391200-minAPI9.apk version. Did a couple reboots too. I'm connected to my router and the kindle browser and other devices can connect just fine. Help!

[Fire General] mmurphmsu:
Does anyone have trouble when downloading from the Play store? Once I got it installed and Google services updated, I had to do a reboot. Once I rebooted, I was able to download apps. So I selected a bunch of my apps to download and at first they were downloading just fine, but all of a sudden seemed to stall. So I would reboot again, and once everything was back up, they began to download again just fine, but would seem to pause again after a while. So instead of rebooting, I just left it be and they seemed to download and install but it was very slow. Just seems like everything Google related was slow too. I checked YouTube after downloading it from the Play Store and it takes a while to load as well.

Great work Shadow, thanks for everything! I'm not sure if my question is related, but I wanted to know if it is possible to add another Google account? I have explored, and I cannot find a way. Basically, I want to add another Google account to the Google Play Games app.

Basically, in one of the Clash of Clone type games I play, you can switch between different accounts you have in the game by linking each account to a different Google Play Games account. When I open the Google Play Games account after having installed it through the Google Play Store (using the method in this thread), I try to add another account but then it just takes me out of Google Play Games app into the home screen.

Thanks for any feedback.

Ok, I was reading further back and maybe this answers my question.

I also encountered issues with this. Some PC's on windows 64 bit block certain drivers (in this case the amazon fire driver). To get around this you must temporarily enable installing unsigned drivers on your PC. Unfortunately I am not yet able to post external links, but search "enable unsigned driver install windows" on youtube and you will find what you need.

I installed the wrong drivers from the usb driver folder. I did a factory reset with a new account on the fire device and the same drivers were still on my device. I went into device manager and tried to uninstall them that way, with no avail. It is coming up as a portable device in device manager not as android device. How can i get back to the original fire drivers so i can install the correct google/ andorid drivers?

Depends how you got to 5.1.1

Thanks for these guides and info.

I finally got adb working on my laptop (just before it was going to get thrown out the window!)

I ran tomsgt's bat script and selected the 'block lockscreen ads', 'install google play' and 'block ota' options. The ad blocking seems to have worked fine as there are no longer ads on the lockscreen, but google play store doesnt appear to have installed. It completed the bat operation without any errors and I even glanced at the tablet and it looked as if the launcher refreshed as if a new app had been added but it doesnt show in the 'all' section of the 'manage apps' menu in settings. I have rebooted a couple of times but it hasnt appeared. I had updated to 5.0.1 shortly after switching the tablet on from new, I think the firmware date is around 19th November. Im not sure if the 'block ota' option has worked as the 'system updates' section of the settings menu is still showing. I will probably try and run the bat script again later to try installing google play and blocking ota's, but just wondered if anyone had the same issues?
[Fire General] regulusirius:
Weeks ago I used Tomsgt's script to install the playstore, and all the ads disappeared too. Today I decided to do a factory reset since sometimes the amazon apps couldn't be launched (happened since the removal of the ads), and now strange things are happening. My lockscreen disappeared, for example (This means that when I press the ON button I see the app drawer, not the lockscreen), and the app of the special offers refuse to launch.

How does the script work? Could some adb command still affect the tablet after a factory reset?
[Fire General] miniaturepeddler:
Received my little tablet a couple of days ago and it was 5.01. Perfect, so ram the script to add google and play. Required an update to google services, then ran fine.

My play store is still here and my apps are here.

I downloaded Tapatalk and as you can see I am using it.

Will this be OK or will I now lose all the apps and mods I just made?

Should I do something before I reboot or am I too late?
