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.
I am just curious can the Ouya play games that I already have purchased on the Google Play Store? I am interested in purchasing the Ouya but only if I can play my current games on it as well.

In theory... I put Play Market on my Bluestacks and my games that weren't 3D ran fine. With the proper hardware (Ouya) the 3D ones shoudl run, too.

How would the controller work for this though?
No idea.

Something like this would probably work very properly for the situation.
well they said we can root it so it should be very easy to install google play, so i see no reason why you couldn't. but some may be hard to play with the controller but we will see when we get there. hopefully mines here next month
Games on Ouya
I Plan to use Sixaxis Controller app with games that don't support controlers as i use it on my tablet and i can enable gamepad for showgun if needed. We need someone to test a gamepad supported game on the system with the Ouya controler to see if it works that way.
Does Ouya even have Google Play Store?
I heard it only has their own market (like Ouya Market)
I want my Ouya not only for games, but also a media centre. Like playing movies from HDD ext., browsing, twitter, facebook, and others applications from Play Store.
how cool is that :fingers-crossed:
it hasn't been stated one way or the other. If apps can be side loaded, then I would say even if it's there, you could extract Google Play and loaded it that way, as well as the apps you want. The only thing that isn't know, what apps will play nice with Ouya's interface using a controller. A lot of apps, if not all, are designed from a touch input design.
I don't know if there is anything that Google Play needs besides an Android OS to function. So there could be reasons it may not work despite being able to load it on the Ouya.
Ouya will have their own stores called "Ouya Store". All games are ported to support Ouya consoles.
Shadow Gun is confirmed to work on Ouya. Please wait for the rest announcement!
Search youtube for 'Ouya performance test' there is a guy with a dev console playing lots of current android games so should be able to.
Correct me if I'm wrong but doesn't Ouya have a touchpad on the control? That would work the same as touching the screen as long as there is a mouse pointer on the screen or you could enable touch location in the developer settings.
Maybe the new Store is like tha Amazon Store.
Has someone read something about the payment methodes?
any update on if anyone has gotten working playstore on the console?
The Ouya has a custom launcher and all apps and games are required to be recompiled with custom tags in their manifest. Only apps with these custom tags show up in the Ouya UI.
So its possible to adb push the Store and a custom launcher APK but you need a way of switching back and forth.
If you are not using the Oyua UI you will not be able to take advantage of the custom Ouya services such as ranking systems and friends lists.

You have to be rooted to get Play Store on a non-rooted Device.
If you do get root, contact theperson333, I think he can help.
I'm no Expert.

Yes it has in the middle of the controller

Ouya will be featuring its own app market, not Google play market. The system runs on android Jelly Bean, but that doesn't mean its the same as your tablet or phone. Customized UI and maybe a different file format for games (I'm assuming they're still apks though.) You can pick up the development tool on their website.
I hope they allow PayPal as a purchase method.
Hey all,
So I installed CM 11 on my S3 today and was downloading a Google Play Movie I got in HD but the download only shows 350mb. But if I use stock rom it downloads and streams in HD. Anyone have a solution to this? Any help would be appreciated thanks! :fingers-crossed:
Might be related to drm. Otherwise im just not sure. Have you tried a different cm/aosp based rom?
Yes infact I have tried few other roms too. However now it is doing something strange. It says that I have already downloaded to the max number of devices. Unfortunately, I don't have some of those devices anymore to unpin the downloads from. Is there any way I can delete the downloads online or something?
That im not sure about as I dont use google for movies or media. If nobody else knows you can try to email google support to see if they can do that on their end.
Sorry I dont know about your initial problem. Hopefully someone who knows more about cm than me will have an idea for you.
Hi, I'm tired from reinstalling Google Play Store (GPS) in my rooted AFTV, because inmediately after reboot, GPS auto update self and break (auto update Google Play Services And Youtube too). Youtube break too when auto update. My question is, how to install a GPS apk compatible with AFT that DON'T auto update ? Or how to disable auto update for GPS ?

The problem is with Google Play Services. If you are rooted:
Install the Xposed Framework if you don't already have it installed.
Remove Google Play Services.
Download, install, and enable the Xposed Framework module called "This App Will Run Without Google Play Services" here: http://repo.xposed.info/module/xeed.xposed.dngmod
Thanks, I'll try and report here. I have AFT rooted + Xposed installed
Well, in http://forum.xda-developers.com/xposed/modules/mod-app-run-google-play-services-1-0-t3054115 report that Youtube don't work without Play Services.
I will have to try another solution
Turn of auto updating in the Amazon store and it will fix your problem. Turn off auto updates and reboot. To do it just choose an app to install from the Fire TV launcher and you can access the setting to turn off auto updates from there.

This doesn't work for preventing Google Play Services from auto-updating.
You can turn off auto-update inside Google Play Store and also within Amazon's settings, but Google Play Services will still auto-update.

Why are you running the non-Fire TV version of YouTube?

I can assure you there's a YouTube app specifically for the Fire TV. I don't know why you can't download it from your Fire TV. Did you replace the Amazon Appstore?
I attached the YouTube apk from my Fire TV. You can sideload it and see if it works for you.

Thanks, I'll try using this version. I don't replace Amazon Appstore, but searching for "Youtube" only show third software.
Well, I installed your version of youtube, this version is the same version that was installed previously in my AFTV, with the same error:
When begin to play a video, youtube close inmediately !!!!

Then something is very wrong with your Fire TV that has nothing to do with the google play store.
I can confirm that the play store for me automatically updates after my first close of the store. I have to keep on reinstalling the older play store version, since the newer one always displays a white screen. I am using one of the xposed modules to change my device disguise to a nexus tablet. It just seems to break every single time it autoupdates.
I can open the sidebar, but the screen is just white and I cannot search.

Hi, for resolve this problem I installed Xprivacy , install Google Play Store + Google Play Services (old versions from this forum), configure my account in Play Store, inmediately shutdown my wifi router, open Xprivacy and disable Internet item security for Google Play Services. Now, Play Services can't auto update, and Play Store run OK without breaking !!!! I recommend install a usb mouse to AFTV, because Xposed/XPrivacy Interfaces aren't optimized for AFTV

Do we have a consensus on if this fix is working for most people? Btw--i don't know why but when I first got the white screen in play store (maybe 5 weeks ago) all I did was remove play services and and its continued to work ever since. I'm just curious about the above mod and being proactive in case it stops working.

What you did is fine as long as there are no apps that require Google Play Services like the "Watch ABC" app.

It's a Xposed module, check http://forum.xda-developers.com/xposed/modules/xprivacy-ultimate-android-privacy-app-t2320783
I managed to "freeze" my store and play services using the immutable flag route (chattr command). Created 2 files "com.android.vending-2.apk" and "com.google.android.gms-2.apk" in /data/app/ folder for store and play services respectively (I "froze" the play store as well as version 5.3.6 works fine for me).
I wrote a little script (remove the ".txt" at the end from the file name) to turn on and off the immutable property of these files. It is a pretty through complete overkill (LOL) as you can just do that with 2 lines of code, but I wanted to learn a bit about scripting, so went the whole hog with functions, arrays, making sure the dummy files are zero bytes, checking existing flag, how to return values from functions, error handling, verbose debug statements. I am attaching it if anyone wants to take a peek or wants some base scripting code to do other stuff on top of it. Its documented reasonably. You can run it by default. If you want to turn OFF the flag (for taking updates), you pass "ULOCK" as a command line parameter for the script. Its documented in the script... Please don't run it without understanding it first, though it does not do anything destructive except change flags. You will need to create the 2 files (or 1 file or 4 files if you want to lock all Google apks) manually in the /data/app/ folder.
One artifact of using this method that I have noticed. The FTV will periodically throw up an error message:
"Not Enough Space
Additional space is required to install this app. You can free up space by removing installed apps or connecting a USB drive. Recommended drives can be found at www.amazon.com/firetvstorage."
You will get 2 options to choose from: Install Later and Manage Installed Apps. You need to click on "Install Later". Its a wrong error message about space, but it has to do with the inability of Google (and FTV) to replace those dummy apks as they are locked.
Google will download newer version to /data/data/com.android.providers.downloads/cache/ folder, but it will sit there as it cannot overwrite the dummy apks.
hello everyone,
i recently purchased a fire phone and my problem is this, i cant get google play services to work with google games, when i try to use google games with google services 4.4.52 it starts but tells me that it needs to update to the latest version 7.5.74 after updating to 7.5.74 google games and anything that uses google services stops working and google services will not even open, any help with this would be amazing since i have been struggling with this for about a week.
also for anyone that needs google play store you can uninstall google services and it works great and so does that games app it just will not pull your game saved files from the server.
i am using a amazon fire phone with the latest O.S.
Hmm... Did you install the Google play services and store from the xda general section? And did you install Google play games from the play store? I cannot reproduce your error and I am playing Google play games (specifically those games that require that particular app).
You may just need to remove the Google play services and related apps and reinstall them. Maybe you used an outdated guide?
Can you please post the link where you got all the apks for all the google apps and services?

I am having this same issue. I got them from a topic here, the link was to a onedrive or something that had all 4 apks.
Which version of the OS are you using? It seems people's having troubles with Google Play Services when they use non-US versions.
