Hi guys.
has anyone tried downloading google music app? I know you can only use it in the USA but i am wondering if you use market enabler would it be possible to use it in the UK for example?
Anyone who has done that can you give me any tips on how to get it working? tried with market enabler but no luck
Thanks
Google music apk
Just download the .apk and install it directly, bypass the market:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1533816
I use it (in the UK) on a locked 3 One X and it works a charm, absolutely love it. If your outside the US you'll have to set up a google music account through a VPN first though before you can use the app properly.

sweet..nice one mate. run out of thanks but will do it when i jump on the phone and use tapatalk..many thanks wanted to try Spotify but kinda bit much to pay that kinda money just for music streaming
No problem glad I could help
As for Spotify, I've never really liked the idea of not actually having a physical copy of the music. Each to their own really.

Why it is so difficult to get this one.
I have it preinstalled on my S3.
But I want to install it on my galaxy nexus (samsung again).
It isn't on google play, isn't even on samsungapps
That's when I search with both the S3 and the Nexus.
So far seems it only comes pre-installed.
There is one .apk floating around but it's for Allshare playER not Allshare Play, which is what i need.

Afaik, allshare play is an app developed by and cooked in Samsung's ROMs. Vanilla Android doesn't come with it. There are plenty of alternatives in the play store though.

I haven't found an alternative that will let me stream or sync media between devices and allow me on phone 1 to stream something from the pc to phone 2.
But will be glad if there is something like that.
I'm no expert on this, but if an app sets your gnex up as an UPnP media server you're done right? Except maybe for the stream from device 1 via pc to device 2 feature. Tried BubbleUPnP?

No idea, don't even know what are those abbreviatures
will look it up though
but the last feature is critical for me
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.bubblesoft.android.bubbleupnp
Looks amazing, thank you!
But none of these lets a user without any hassle watch movies/pictures/stream music from f.ex my home pc when I am at work,
Allshare play (http://www.allshareplay.com) lets med do excactely that.
Install Allshare on computer, tell it what folders to share and when I am traveling I click allshare and it just works.
I use bubbleupnp at home, but Allshare is so easy.
Is it possible to port google play music from the nexus player to the Amazon fire TV. Im asking this question because the google play music apk that came with the nexus player dose not require touch navigation, its design specifically to control with a remote. Thank you.

I've tried numerous apk files developed in part for multiple devices and none work.
I did come across a Google Play Music addon for Kodi & even though the zip installed I cannot for the life of me get it to work. The menu displays & I've entered my correct Google Play Music logon credentials but when I access the addon the screen says "Working..." & goes no where.
Anyone have any ideas as to why?

Yup that did it. Thanks so much. Now I just need to tweak the way the tags are read on album views (I was able to do it for track views).

Hello, That I don't know, sorry.
I use YouTube adaway xposed mod on my phone & tablet and it works great. Its not working on AFTV. Anyone know why? Do I need to side load a different YouTube apk? I'd like it to work with the supported YouTube for amazon but will use the one in play store. Maybe its because amazon uses an older version?
Any help is welcomed. I hate these ads. They start before every video I watch now!
Install the YouTube mod from this very forum,it is older than the main YouTube app,but easier to block ads from,and it doesn't even require Google Play stuff.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1529715
If you use WiFi,there is a useful ad blocker I use that works admittedly better (AND without even requiring root) since other ad blockers started failing on me.

I can't install the mod. Tried adb and just placing on sdcard. Are you using an older firmware? I'm on the latest. Not that that's the issue but I read the thread you linked and it seems simple.
I am still on the older firmware.
The normal YouTube app has to be uninstalled before you install the mod version.
Having a web browser,terminal emulator for ADB via localhost,and a file explorer for learning the directory and filename of APKs you want to install is really useful for non-rooted users.

I uninstalled YouTube before attempting it. I'm not home now but used my phone to download it yesterday and I see the apk is 12.72 KB...that can't be right, is it? Maybe my issue was as simple as a bad or incomplete download. I'll try again later.
One thing I hate about various transfer protocols is that they can VERY often corrupt files upon transfer.
Things are much easier if you can directly download the file in a browser on the FireTV and use the really helpful terminal emulator method for installing/sideloading it.
The latest Opera Browser version has a desktop quality download UI,allowing you to pick the name of a file to be saved,and the directory to save it in.
Such a shame other things in Opera browser are a little broken,like the save password dialog causing a crash unless clicked away from.

I do appreciate the followup but when you say transfer, are you talking about the actual download? Or pushing it to my AFTV sdcard? Because I don't see the difference between downloading it to my phone's browser, my Mac, PC or opening opera on AFTV.
I just wanted to clarify. I can certainly download it with AFTV but its weird that every link yields an incomplete apk. And, I believe this mod was made for phones and tablets so you'd think it'd work the same or better with my phone.
Try getting the inverted copy.
The download page says this one is 6.15MB ,so you should expect a size near that.
I do hope you can sort this out,and I wish you luck.
control youtube app with remote from fire tv stick?
hi is there a way to control the app with the fire tv stick remote?
i tried and searched for a clip, but then i wasn't able to select a search result.
Is there a remote optimized version for youtube other than the amazon with adds version?
You can filtering the YouTube ads via Xposed YouTube AdAway (http://repo.xposed.info/module/ma.wanam.youtubeadaway)

But that doesnt seem to work with aftv youtube. Im going to sideload the play store version. It should work like it does on my phone. What I dont know is how a remote will work with it.
Update,-well that didnt take long. It wont launch. What version of youtube are people using for ad blocking?
The Google Play YouTube is completely useless on FireTV because of the forever re-updating Google Play Services beyond 7.0.99 whch breaks everything that relies on it,primarily Google Play itself and the YouTube app.
This is why I use the YouTube Mod since it doesn't rely on Google Play Services.
Someone should really upload a patched Google Play Services 7.0.99 copy so we can avoid the function breaking updates.
All it needs is a patch to either disable the updater within it or make it think it is version 9.9 or higher from the year 2029 to stop the updates.

If you are rooted, there is an XPosed module that eliminates the need for Google Play Services. http://repo.xposed.info/module/xeed.xposed.dngmod
my experience
same for me:
the adblock apk does not work with the fire tv app.
the youtube app from #1 works, but cant get controlled with the app
maybe someone ist able to modify the app the it can get controled by remote without touchscreen
Title says it all. Is there any way to use Google Play Music on my fire TV? I at first tried with various "casting" or "mirroring" apps from my Phone, but none of them seem to work. Ive thought about rooting so I could actually install the google services stuff, but I would like to avoid that if possible.
I have the Fire TV 2.
EDIT: And I see this is a no question area... So if a mod could move it to the appropriate area...
Its Pretty Straight forward. Google search the following.
Google Login Service apk
Google Music Leanback apk
Google Play Store Leanback apk
Google Play Services apk
Install all apks
Go to Play store, log in. Should take you through set up questions and then fail to load the store. Then click on Play Music and your library should load. Just done it this afternoon and seems to run quite well
Hmm, I can't seem to locate music leanback anywhere, just the google store.
Got it working but music seems to have a voice search only... makes it hard to find the band I want

There's a link to all the files I used.

Really? Never noticed. I was just flicking through artists or using Instant Mix/Shuffle. Never tried the search option. Sorry, better than nothing though.
Install Kodi, then use download the plugin.audio.googlemusic.exp-1.7.2.zip and install it. After you have set up your password it work great.

Thanks for this info. It worked well for me without any issues.
I used this method to get Google play music running on both my fire TV stick and my first gen fire TV. But even better I got it to work for Google play movies on the stick. It didn't work on the regular fire TV for some reason though. Everytime I tried to watch a movie all you got was sound. But installing the YouTube app for Android TV on said fire TV I am able to play my play movies under the purchases section. So anyone wanting play movies on their fire TV using the above method for the music also works on the YouTube app for sure and may or may not work for play movies
For me the google play music apk doesn't install. After starting the installation process it stops with showing "app don't intstalled". Any ideas?
Has anyone had any luck getting the search to work? It appears to be a voice search only and doesn't work on the FTV.
Additionally, I can't find a way to browse "stations". It recommends a few for me but they seem to be based on my personally uploaded library.

Followed the steps and was able to get Google Music installed. I have 2 followup questions tho.
1. Is there a way to get the newer version of Google Music? I use Stations more than I individual artists. I tried installing the latest version from APKMirror, but it won't actually connect to anything.
2. I keep getting notifications that I need to update Play services. Is there a newer apk I should be using?
For what it's worth, I'm on Fire OS 5.2.4.0

The google play music app won't work. You need to find the "leanback" version.
I haven't been able to find one newer then the one in this thread. Maybe someone with a nexus player or shield can help us.
I had a feeling that would be the case. Was looking for an AndroidTV APK, but couldn't find anything.

I'm still new to the terminology with the TV systems.... "leanback" is the qualifier for Android TV Apps??
Funny that we are all looking for the same thing. Has to exist right?
I've got a friend with a Nexus Player, let me check with him.

"leanback" is what Google calls their versions that are made to work with a remote (& do not require a touch screen).

It really would be. I like the Fire TV a lot, I just wish I could have Google Music rather than Amazon Music.
Hi,
On my Amazon Fire phone, all music streaming apps excepts Spotify and Amazon music are not playing songs.
Like- Deezer, wync etc.
Please somebody knows how to fix that?
Thanks
Anybody can please confirm that its a common issue or just me?
Or if somebody knows fix , then plz let me know.
Yes, I can confirm deezer not working with stock firmware. However I can tell that on nexus rom works without problem. I think it's fire stock rom the problem here.
I also can confirm this. I have an account for deezer an can´t use it with my firephone. The only way I found to install it form amazon shop directly. This is an old version but it works.
Has anybody a solution to install it from google play store?
I've had this problem with Deezer , I've downloaded an older version from APK Mirror (v5.1.2.31) and now it's working fine, just don't let google play update it with a newer version
