Hey guys did you install the GoogleFramework.apk from a phone or a 7" tablet? Wondering because I was thinking of trying installing the apk of a 7" tablet on the gf's Fire.

It would help if you gave more details of your setup. It sounds like you have a stock Kindle Fire (not rooted and no custom rom).
I will tell you what I did because I know that it will work for sure, but I cannot say with certainty that it was necessary...
I matched GoogleFramework with my Android OS. When my Kindle Fire was still stock, I got GoogleFramework from an older GingerBread GApps .zip, because the stock ROM is based on GB. It worked fine. I simply unzipped the GB Gapps and grabbed GoogleFramework.
If you have a custom rom installed already, just flash the appropriate Gapps directly -- GoogleFramework will automatically be installed.
My apologies it's currently rooted and running a GB framework. I should've asked first if there's a difference if the framework apk came from a tablet or a phone. I wanted to install some tablet apps but it says that it's either incompatible or it doesn't run correctly on the Fire. So, I was wondering if installing a different framework would matter, or is it dependent on the ROM?

Hi,
i am very sorry, i hope my english is okay for you all.
I have a big problem to fix till tomorrow!
On my nexus i have the rom Codname Android, and the kernel was Franco. Everything was fine. But got big problems
with wifi so i changed the kernel to Leankernel 3.0.48. ob better to this.: stock_4.1_jrn84d_kernel
And i think it is not working with my phone, so i flashed the kernel with Clockwork Mod Recovery v6.0.1.0.
But after reeboot the phone will stop by the nexus x.
My pc (win xp) dont see the phone then it is conect to him. So i only want the flash back the old kernel.
I did not made a backup
Right now i can not move into Clockwork Mod Recovery v6.0.1.0 only, the Odin Mode is shown on the phone.
What can i do ??
You're trying to flash incompatible kernels. Download a 4.1.2 based kernel and then adb push it to your phone so you can flash it.
Lessons to be learned-
1) Research research research. Have an understanding of what your doing before you attempt it.
2) Always have at least one nandroid backup available in case you make a mistake such as this again.

Hey guys, I have recently rooted my kindle fire (running 6.3.1) and added, GO ex pro but later on I decided I want full android jellybean, so I downloaded all the necessary files for 4.2, got rid of GO ex pro, and everything went fine until idiotically I had only installed the the jellybean ROM and completely forgot to also add the Google play store, so before I had noticed Google play was nowhere to be found in TWRP I tried flashing jellybean but it wouldn't even open the screen that allows me to flash it, by then I had realized Google play was missing so I plugged it back into the computer to download it but now it is reading my kindle as a android ADB interface and wont let me copy the files to it, thus making it impossible to add Google play, I have done everything I could possibly think of, and had not found anyone with the same problem anywhere, so I am in dire need of help, Right now it flawlessly runs the kindle stock OS but that's it, I want it to run 4.2 instead, but if I cant put the Google play store on that's out of the question, PLEASE HELP! Thank you in advance.
So you're on rooted stock, right?

Do you still have access to TWRP?

Yes I have access to TWRP, and I am running stock kindle fire OS, no custom ROMS, just have the permanent root with super user.
And of course, TWRP.
In TWRP, mount your sdcard as a USB device and transfer GApps and whatever ROM you want, wipe system and factory reset, then flash your ROM and GApps.

hi im a noob when it comes to phones, normally ill take it to a shop who will find one and install it for me, but i feel like trying this myself
are firmware in general like OSs? are kernels included as well or do i have to look for them? can I use any of them from any country? i dont mind resetting internet/MMS since theyre easy. im talking in computer terms to show how noobish i am
since i cant ask questions on the 'minimal by Judas' thread ill ask it here. is the 1.6 download a full OS with hardware stuff included or is it like a patch where i have to install that on top of an already working MG2? im interested in the zero patch since it removes most bloats, is it another OS or a patch on top of the minimal?
if it isnt too troublesome could someone write up a small walkthrough on using the aroma installer?
if you are alredy on MG2, you should have a working kernel for the minimalzero rom. alternatively you can use D-kernel.
as for the firmware itself, it's like an os. the package is a full rom (system installation, so installing it will first wipe your current system and then recreate it from scratch.
stuff like wifi passes and mms are on data tho, so u will keep that
for aosp based roms tho, the kernel needed will be included in the package, and a data wipe is required as well.
Flashing anything should be done by first flashing a temporary CWM via the stock recovery (look for temporary CWM by shaan in the development section) and then flashing zips from the temporary cwm once itl oads.
im still using stock 2.3.6 that came with the phone, would i need to install another firmware before hand?
and could i have some help finding an older version of CWM? weird thing is i rooted my phone but CWM is still not onstalled. ive reset my phone a lot, installed a few XXLD8 with CWM, tried to onstall standalone CWMs but none of them seem to work (failed to verofy whole package thing), tried via rom manager and it gives me the 'failed to verify whole package' thing.l
i even read a tutorial on that but its still not getting me through it
do i need CWM installed before i can upgrade using aroma/odin? can i use TWRP instead of CWM?
1. Follow this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=43001497
2. Get temp CWM 6 (by Shaaan) then copy to external sdcard.
3. Reboot to recovery(you will be in stock) and chose third option from top (the line has an 'update'in it)
Find the temp CWM (will be named update.zip) and flash.
3. Make sure minimal zero file in in external/internal sd then chose flash zip from sdcard in temp CWM. And follow instructions in judas77's thread
EDIT: in 2: use power button to select

temp CWM is working
what are the requirements for minimal/zero? im following the 'all galaxy ace 2 jelly bean firmwares' and the newest reply i saw was a person who downloaded an MF2 but requiring an MF1. seeing how zero has an MG1 CSC version and mininal has an MG2 does that mean zero is a requirement of minimal or are they both standalones? i also read elsewhere that in order to install an MG youd have ti install earlier firmwares, is that true?
sorry for such noobish questions
You can flash MB4 then MG2 to ensure 624mb ram, if you flash mg2 only most like get only 482mb ram. Follow guide to get 624mb ram on any jb rom if you have only 482mb ram after flashing your desired fw.(mc8,mg2 etc). Minimal 1.6 and minimal zero are standalone roms.
EDIT: CSC does not really matter unless you want to update through kies (what for? Use odin) and you dont need to flash another firmware just for mg2.
Sent from my GT-I8160 using xda app-developers app
thanks for the replies, theyre helping a lot
theoretically if i wanted to skip downloading other firmwares, what files for the MG2 would i have to install manually? even without a complete MG2 i could still get in to download/recovery to install them? ive so far found kernels and the 628MB (from szabys signature), would those be enough?
if i wanted to go down this road that means installing the OS first then the others right, will the order count?
*edit*
about the different CSC versions, i thought other settings would be affected as well, so its just update over kies right
Just find any fw you like (i use mg2, but may not be best either, your choice ) then flash with odin under PDA(remember to extract the .zip to obtain the .md5) different csc dont seem to do any harm for me and i dont think it should
EDIT: you must wait for the whole flashing process in odin to finish(although i have no idea what happens if you dont). Once its booted you can just head to recovery and update to temp CWM then follow instructions to flash minimal

thanks for all the help, im not blaming you since my stupidity did it -.-
ATM i 2/3 bricked it (only download mode)
hoping the staffll keep this open since im on a side questish
If you can access download mode flash md5 again
You can ask in Q & A(new) i go there sometimes, if i can help i will
Sent from my GT-I8160 using xda app-developers app
thanks again, im currently torrenting the MG2 from szabys sig, will try flashing via odin once its done
heres the thread if youre interested http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2441429
update
i feel like an ass asking how do i use this and that, but in the end i ended up flashing it to stock MG2, hope theres no hard feelings
Nope. Glad your phone works well . Just ask in Q & A next time
EDIT: but you would probably wanna learn how to flash cm10/ 4.2 roms. Stock jb is so hopelessly slow you could downgrade to gb

again thanks for the tip, id probably try CM10.1 B2 i found on bagnzors site (full download thing ~200MB), seeing how i rarely use the things he said arent fixed yet id just jump right in
im currently using zero, do i have to reflash MG2 first or can i install it on top of zero?

flashing on top works fine
dont know why i waited almost a year to root but honestly CM10.1 handles like GB (both using under 200MB, whereas 412/zero uses 300, all debloated)
but there are 2 problems i cant solve, it turns on when charging and 'package access helper/fused location' always running, other than those awesome mod
okay running cm9 alpha6 trying to flash to cm10.1 wild using cwm5.5 keep getting status 7 okay ill try direct bootcwm5v3 can't find the file to do so
trying to boot emmc multiboot utility to update profile. can't find direct boot. can someone help me get this to work? and using cwm5.5 im fully backed up
2 goals
1. get cm10.1 wild on here
2. boot emmc multiboot utility
notes
i am familiar with using Odin but would prefer to avoid it if possible easier to recover if ive still got cwm to restore my backup
i have the cm10.1 zip and the multiboot file
edit: have suceeded in first goal using el26 stock cwm recovery kernel from rwilcos repository
edit: 2nd goal negated: cwm10.1 WILD-FOR-THE-NIGHT-08042013-d710 is capable of updating profile
