When Amazon updated to 6.3 my Kindle Fire had to be rooted again. This time, although I have the Google Play Store app, when I launch it, the following message appears: "You must add an account to the device to continue. Do you want to add one now?" When either Yes or No is selected, the app force closes.
Tried unrooting and re-rooting, rebooting, but nothing works.
Hope someone out there can help, please.

Install GoogleServicesFramework.apk and this should stop happening. You can extract it from the GB (GingerBread) GoogleApps zip file. I always put that .apk into /system/app, but that may not be necessary (not sure on that). Just try installing the gsf apk and see if it works -- I personally would also reinstall the market at this point (Vending.apk). If this doesn't work, you will probably have to get into adb and push the .apks to /system/app while in recovery. Then, you can work your way to them with a file explorer that can get into root (ES File Explorer works) and install both .apks by simply tapping them.
Kindle Fire and Google Play Store
Thank you very much for your response. Will try and let you know if I was successful.
This worked!! I have a different problem now where my Kindle cannot connect to the Tootle server.
The error response is that my phone is not provisioned for data services.
Any suggestions?
Thanks again.
Sorry - autocorrect...should be Google server
i would recommend flashing modacos rom if you want a smooth bugless stock amazon experience.. not trying to be an ad, but just saying.
It seems to have been a server problem. I was able to log in and use Google Play Store.
Many many thanks for your help, tedr108!!
UPDATE - After I tried to download an app, I received the following message: "The application Google Play Store (process com.android.vending) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again." and force closes.
I tried rebooting as well as uninstalling/reinstalling the Play Store, but no change.
Thanks in advance for your help.
Same error here... what am I doing wrong?
Me too! I thinks it's a GoogleServicesFramework.apk version issue.
Can anyone advise what gapps version to use?
Google Play force closes, Google Framework won't install
I've rooted my Kindle Fire running version 6.3. It's running the stock OS. I used the Kindle Fire Utility version 0.9.5. It rooted and loaded TWRP but was unable to push the google apps (extras) as 'permission denied'. So I installed rootbrowser.apk. It works with superuser privileges. I downloaded GoogleServicesFramework.apk and Vending 3.5.16.apk and then with Windows Explorer I dragged them into the /sdcard/Download directory. With rootbrowser I copied them over into /system/app. I tried to install the google apps. Google Play installs but crashes. GoogleServicesFramework.apk will not install. Using Rootbrowser, I was not able to delete the GoogleServicesFramework.apk. I booted the Kindle Fire into recovery mode, mounted /system, then used ADB to push the GoogleServicesFramework.apk and the Vending 3.5.16.apk into /system/app. The files were successfully copied into /system/app. I rebooted the Kindle, using rootbrowser I installed Google Play (Vending 3.5.16.apk) but GoogleServicesFramework just shows "Application Not Installed". When I launch Google Play I'm prompted to add my account info on the device to continue. When i select "Yes", it closes and I'm unable to get past this point. I have the "Go Launcher EX" installed. I also went into recovery with TWRP and fixed permissions. Still nothing worked.
I've watched the NOOB video, and read Kindle Fire For Beginners and a whole bunch of other stuff. I've scoured the posts but though i've tried everything that everyone else has done in order to get Framework installed and Google Play to work, I cannot get passed this point. I'm now 4 days into the process of 'rooting' this device. Like I said, it's rooted, but not completely functional with the desired apps.
Does someone have anymore ideas on how to get GoogleServicesFramework.apk to install and Vending 3.5.16.apk to work after it's installed?
Thanks!!!

What are your "GoogleServicesFramework.apk" permissions set to?
The GoogleServicesFramework.apk installed in /syste/app/ is 777 (for owner, group and others), i.e., rwx for all three users.
---------- Post added at 06:41 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:09 PM ----------
Well, 4 days and running into roadblocks. I was probably chasing my tail. However, when the nice guy that posted a reply asked "what were the permissions of googleservicesframework, and I checked that they were 777, I decided that maybe..., just maybe, I had a bad .apk. All of the .apks that were in the folder were 644. So I downloaded a new version of googleservicesframework.apk from media source fire (the one that I had was from a link posted previously.) I noticed that most of the .apk files were around 600 kb. The one that I had downloaded previously was about 2mb.
After copying over the small .apk into /system/app, my google play started working perfectly! I'm VERY sorry for being a NOOB! However, thank you all at xda for being here for all of us! Keep up the good work!!
montoyat, please share the link with us for the GoogleServicesFramework version that's working for you. I'm having issues too, and have been through over 10 gapps and different apk files. going nuts here!
thanks

-When I try to search market, there is no youtube app.
-When i go to 'm.google.com/youtube', it says my device is not supported. It is damn Galaxy Nexus, how possible ?

Thanks mate, I put your apk to my download, but i cannot find it in the phone. There is nothing in downloads and When I check storage from settings, I see downloads is 2,6 mB, but where should i find it ? Or how can i install your apk ?
I am very new to Android, so it may sound stupid that i dont know how to do it
There is a new version for ICS, which isn't on the Market but should be in the ROM out the box
most of the download item can be found using a file manager which can be installed from the market, the you tube app can also be found in the systems folder.
using any file manager (i use androzip pro) leave the sd card and goto system/app/ you will find the youtube.apk app, just click on it to install.

I did what you said, but when i click youtube.apk at system/app/, there is no install button, just 'extract to' and 'send' are there. But if there is youtube .apk and .odex in my system files, doesnt it suppose to mean there is youtube app in my phone ?
By the way, in google folder at desktop, there is one Youtube icon with tiny green android logo. When i click it, it says "application is not installed". Any ideas how to make this icon work ?

Have you tried going into the system/app and delete the youtube.apk, or if you can delete from settings/apps, then try to download it from the link again.
try this before you delete anything, goto settings/storage/apps and see if youtube is disabled, if it isn't there try the info above.

I checked setting/storage/apps and there was no Youtube app, So i tried the first option. But phone didnt let me delete youtube.apk and returned "system restriction"
ozmor39, I too am from Turkey and I'm having the exact same issue as you. It seems Google found another way to screw us over
By the way, when I got my phone (UK GSM version) it was on yakjuxw 4.01 and I had the Youtube app in the app drawer and it did work. After I switched to yakju 4.02, I can't see the app in the app drawer, only under system/app, but I can't (re)install it and I can't see it under installed apps.
I intend to keep my GNex on stock ROM, simply rooted, with that in mind I too would appreciate any help on this...
Thanks all!

I'm puzzled, can't think of anything now, may be you should just wait for 4.0.3 update, and see what will happen, or you can download the ics stock firmware and reflash it back to 4.0.1, but you need to search this site for the info.
I've got it working!
I don't know how exactly, but this is what I think did the trick:
- Using Root Explorer I renamed system/app/YouTube.apk to YouTube.apk- (added a dash to the end of the extension) *you need to mount system/app as R/W
- Rebooted the phone
- Renamed it back to YouTube.apk
- Rebooted the phone and now I've got a working YouTube app
In case this isn't what caused YouTube to spring back to life here's all I've done (a lot of silly steps):
- Changed system localization back and forth between Turkish and English (United Kingdom)
- Using Root Explorer I *tried to* install YouTube.apk under system/app several times but each attempt failed
- I mounted system/app as R/W and tried to install YouTube.apk under system/app, each attempt failed
- I downloaded the YouTube.apk from the link Arrio provided, tried to install it by opening it from Opera Mobile, failed
- I tried to install the same YouTube.apk from Root Explorer, failed
- I renamed YouTube.apk under system/app to YouTube.apk- and tried to install the downloaded YouTube.apk, failed
*edit: one more step: I assigned a static IP number and custom DNSs to my WiFi connection
- Rebooted phone
- Tried to install the downloaded YouTube.apk again, failed
- Renamed YouTube.apk- back to YouTube.apk
- At this point I noticed that YouTube app appeared in the app drawer and the Google folder on the home screen with the green android icon
- Rebooted phone
- YouTube app with YouTube icon, which works!
I hope the first few steps I outlined work for you, and any other xda-developers user for that matter

Thanks for the effort, I also somehow managed it to get working. I have done one more thing tho, with root manager, I have changed the Youtube.apk and youtube.odex permissions to give full control to everyone. Maybe if that was done in the first place, it would be ok Not sure tho.
Glad you guys got it working. But kinda sad to hear of those restriction in an open source project like Android. The focus should be on the word "open"!
I'm on Hashcodes CM9 rom and I installed GAPPs from KFU. All the applications work with the exception that I cannot login in to YouTube or Google Voice. Gmail login works just fine, as does Google Play.
When I try to login to YouTube, I get the error message: "Unfortunately, Android System has stopped." And the application exits. I've found nothing in either the gapps thread, kfu thread, or Hashcodes thread about this issue.
Can anyone help?
When you select the account to login to it will ask for permission to access your YouTube account click allow then it will ask for permission to access your +1`s click allow if this prompt doesn't come up anymore uninstall YouTube and reinstall about voice dunno other kindle doesn't have voice capabilities also the login is with email and not user name anymore so try email and password if it doesn't work changes will need to be made from your computer not your kindle to your account and Google+
Nope that didn't work. I didn't receive any additional prompts about adding permissions after sign in attempt. Maybe that's because I don't have 2 step verification enabled.
-Uninstalled
-Resynced
-Re-installed
I should have known it wouldn't work because youtube works just fine on my phone, and I tried logging in on the Fire with the same email to no avail.
re-installed G-apps
I don't know specifically what the problem was but this is what I did to get it working in case someone happens to have a similar problem:
-Wiped (aka formatted) SDCARD (I did not do this previously)
-Copied ROM & Gapps zip file to SDCARD
-Booted into TWRP and did a factory reset then re-installed the ROM.
-Rebooted into ICS to make sure no problems.
-Booted into TWRP again did cleaned out the cache and installed gapps zip file.
-Rebooted into ICS, went into the settings menu and added my google account and it's synced.
-Downloaded YouTube from Market and gave permissions to access my google account and access +1s (i dont know if this is what made the difference but it works and I wouldn't have added +1s had the ThePooch not mentioned it)
every time I deny it plus 1's it wont login into my account so thats why I recommended that
I'm having this same issue! I'm running the July 6 nightly build. I just flashed it today. Everything runs beautifully except some Google apps won't sign in. I get the "unfortunately, android system has stopped" error. Then, the app either terminates or hangs on the sign in screen.
I got my apps from KFU, but it's also happening with google reader, which I got from the market. The apps I'm having trouble with are: Reader, Youtube, and Voice.
I tried clearing the cache and davlik cache. Didn't seem to help. Any ideas anyone has are appreciated!
Edit: Google apps that appear to work fine: maps, drive, chrome, gmail, browser, music, and google+.

Just tried it, no luck.
Try a different flavor and when you try to login is it asking for any access rights?
---------- Post added at 09:52 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:49 PM ----------
Also what wipes are you performing?
---------- Post added at 09:56 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:52 PM ----------
Make sure your flashing the latest gapps http://wiki.rootzwiki.com/Gapps#Ice_Cream_Sandwich_.28Android_4.0.x.29
The gapp package that comes with kfu is intended for gingerbread
I did a factory reset, system wipe, cache, and dalvik cache.
I hadn't realized that the KFU gapps were intended for gingerbread! I'll grab the ones from the link you posted tomorrow. It's rather late now!
Aha! It works! Thank you so much Pooch. I definately think it was trying to run the KFU apps. Before it never even asked me if I wanted to allow for the +1s. This is so great; now I feel like I have a real tablet for the first time since getting the fire. :laugh:
very good glad it was a simple fix
Hi all
I'm using a rooted Kindle Fire, with cyanogen mod 7.
I have downloaded the GAPPS package (gapps-gb-20110828-signed)
I can install some of these files, while others state not installed. (Application not installed)
If i then try access gmail, youtube, Google play, to login i just receive a message stating Unfortunately, Gmail has stopped. Strangely i can login to Google talk OK.
Am i using the correct GAPPS? Do i need another file to allow me to login?
Thanks

Your apps might have been corrupted during the install.
Depending on which type of recovery you're using, you can try to "fix permissions" there to sort out all those apps.
Also in your Settings >> Applications, clear their data/caches.
Alternatively, you can manually uninstall each app that gives you trouble and reinstall from the market.
Thanks anomalya,
Ive cleared out the cache, but no joy. How would I fix permissions to try that as a fix? it seems all the google apps installed, and will briefly show the opening page, but then doesnt work. Also imdb doesnt work. Strange that many other apps work fine. Any ideas on what to try next?
The gapps zip is intended to be installed from recovery in the same manner as a ROM. It is my understanding that you are extracting the apks and then manually trying to install them.
Ah yes that is correct. Ok so i need to install these from recovery? OK.. any chance of a quick reminder how to do this?
If you don't have a "reboot to recovery" option in your ROM, then you can either issue "adb reboot recovery", "adb shell idme bootmode 5001" & reboot, or just press the power button on FFF when instructed as you turn on the KF. If you haven't already flashed the latest FFF (1.4a) then you're strongly advised to do that as well (from recovery too, just as the gapps). And upgrade your TWRP to 2.1.1 if you're using an old version, too!
Thanks, that worked perfectly!
umm... I found there are many guys has the problem. When he want to install a google play into an android phone bought from China,always failed.
This thread just for noob of an andorid device. I'm also a noob lol..
I posted the method at Blogger. now paste here. Take huawei Ascend G330D U8825D as an example:
1. Make sure your Ascend G330D rooted. This is must be request.
2.Find 2 or 3 apk:
a>GoogleServicesFramework(Check your phone via RE explorer)
b>GoogleLoginService
c>Google play store(lastest version is better)
3.Copy those 2 or 3 apps to your phone(Internal or Extend are ok)
4.Copy them into System/app via RE.explorer
5.Restart your phone.
6.You will find the Google play and now login with your google account.

So I solved my problem with the Xperia S LT26i Chinese:
I found the rom ITA LT26i_6.1.A.2.50_1257-5499_Generic_Italy.zip
and I installed it with flashtool
It was very simple
I did not understand if the device is rooted now
Now the device is fully Italian as if I had bought in my country
Ciao!
Changing file permissions was critical
Thanks for the information and the attachments xjarl!
This worked perfectly for me, but only after I changed the permissions on the 3 files! I bought a Coolpad (Yulong) 8022 with Android 2.3.7 in China through China Mobile. I rooted the phone but was unable to install Google Play until I found this post. I downloaded the attachment, extracted the files and copied the 3 APK files to my system/app folder and rebooted. After installing Google Play and running it, I could browse all the apps in the store but I could not download or install them. The progress bar didn't move.
So I launched Root Explorer and went to the system/app folder. Then I changed the permissions of the 3 APKs: GoogleServicesFramework.apk, GoogleLoginService.apk and Google_Play-v3.8.17.apk to rw-r--r-- to match all the other files in the folder and rebooted. Since then everything has been working fine! Now I can browse the App store and download and install files without a problem!
So, the steps I recommend are:
1. Root your phone.
2. Download the attachment above.
3. Extract GoogleServicesFramework.apk, GoogleLoginService.apk and Google_Play-v3.8.17.apk from the RAR file and copy them to the system/app folder on your phone with Root Explorer.
4. In Root Explorer click Mount R/W. Change the permissions of the 3 files to match the permissions of the other files in the folder (rw-r--r--). Then click Mount R/O and exit Root Explorer.
5. Reboot your phone.
6. Go to Accounts & Sync in your phone's settings, click Add account and enter your Google/GMail account details.
7. Go to your apps and Launch Google Play.
I'm guessing that this will work on any Android phone. Good luck!
Thanks for shared.
I get the same problems, but my phone use Spreadtrum CPU SC6820 and it very hard to root.
If not root then can use this solution?

Hi - I believe you will need to root your phone first - I used SuperOneClick to root my phone. I wish you good luck!
It is a very good solution and I tested in my China mobile Note2: GT-N7108 and it works fine.
Thank you very much.

Crashing
I hope someone can help me here. I have a Green Orange N1.
The first thing i tried was to simply install vending apk.
App was crashing before loading.
I tried this method and followed all steps
Root - adding 3 apk to system/app - set permissions- but no luck. Google play still crashes.
I tried also with different G Play versions and still i can't access the application.
Do you have any idea about other steps?

I got it working by downloading different versions of GoogleServicesFramework
i have found 3 versions on the first page searching for GoogleServicesFramework.apk on google
One of them was 2.3M not 4M and it worked. i have also downloaded different GoogleLoginService
Now all google apps work perfectly except for voice search... looks like it doesn't connect.
I can give commands and it keeps searching. don't know if it depends on the GoogleLoginService i installed.
My solution is probably messing up something.
It would be really nice to know which versions of Framework or LoginServices are available andhow to choose the right ones for 4.2 or 4.1.
hope someone can explain here
Can you upload your working apks, please

This kinda works with a bit of play around
These files are KING!!!!
This method works if you root your phone!
I rooted my phone(Samsung Galaxy S4) bought from China loaded with spam and bloatware. The phone by default has a whole load of crap installed into the system apps folder and can't be deleted unless rooted!!!
I rooted using:
Odin3 v3.07
cofface_I9500_cwm_recovery_en_new.tar
Google_play.rar
SAMSUNG_USB_Driver_for_Mobile_Phones_v1_3_2300_0
System App Remover
Root Explorer
Step 1: Put phone in USB debugging mode in order for ODIN to successfully detect and install 'cofface_I9500_cwm_recovery_en_new.tar'
Step 2: Power phone on holding Volume Down, Menu Button and Power Button. (This put it in download mode)
Step 3: Plug phone into PC(Ensure USB drivers have been installed)
Step 4: Open ODIN
Step 5: Select PDA and locate 'cofface_I9500_cwm_recovery_en_new.tar'
Step 6: Click Start (Sit back it takes a few)
Step 7: Once completed immediately unplug battery before phone restarts.(This apparently ensures the CWM will root the phone for S4 new security)
Step 8: Power phone on using Volume Up, Menu Button and Power Button.
Step 9: Root phone option
Step 10: Install from SD card
Step 11: Select the CWM option
Step 12: Restart phone from the options
Step 13 : Super User app should now be installed on the phone
Step 14 : Given that you can't access google play you may need to download apps via pc or web browser on your mobile.
Step 15 : Download the following apps a) Root Explorer b) System App Remover.
Step 14 : Be smart and write down the names of the apps you need to remove and take note of the icons.
Step 15 : Delete what you can through System App Remover (Some will not delete through this app but you'll understand a little later)
Step 16 : Once you've deleted what you can, open Root explorer.
Step 17 : Copy the Google Play files (There are 3) into a directory you can find on your phone.
Step 18 : These files should be stored on SD in Root Explorer, Tap Hold and Move.
Step 19 : Go to System then Apps.
Step 20 : Paste and extract the folder.
Step 21 : Delete the remaining apps that System App Remover couldn't remove.( be careful deleting the wrong apps can be troublesome)
Step 22: NB!!!! Change the permissions on theses 3 apps to all permissions or your phone will keep bringing up alerts and freezing!!!!!
Step 23 : In any event copying the framework from another device you will be forced to do a Factory Reset to have it all fully functional!!!!
This worked for me. Thought I'd put the full list of instructions because it took me a few hours to gather all this info from a mix of sites.
All credit to everyone I resourced to finally get this working!!! This seems to have been an unresolved one on many sites with no tutorials for newbs.

when i used this file ...my phone bootloop
Hi all,
I just installed google play store from an apk file on this website, and it crashes immediately upon startup (e.g. i downloaded it, installed, hit open, and it kicked me back to the browser page where i originally downloaded it). It flashes up on the screen briefly. I tried this with a few different versions of the apk (4.0.25, 3.10.17), but all had the same result.
I looked at androidandme.com/ thread /play-store-crashing-instantly/ and one guy in the comments had a fix that i can't find in my settings:
"here’s the fix:
settings>>application manager>> all tab>>
scroll to the bottom
you’ll notice google/downloads is disabled
enable it."
any help would be greatly appreciated!
thanks,
siudan

I'd say you don't have google apps (gapps) installed. Do you? Here's the gapps zip file for android 4.2.2. http://goo.im/gapps/gapps-jb-20130301-signed.zip download, reboot recovery, and flash. Enjoy.
