Did you activate under "Security > Unknown Sources" ? And got the apk. from the amazon website?
It worked for me this way.
Do you use applications like screen adjuster ? most apllications that can calibrate the screen, colors, brightness, contrast ... block installation...

Agreed this is the way to install it. Make sure you have allow unknown sources activated then from any browser navigate to Amazon.com Go to the app store section from there you will see the link to download and install the Amazon App Store app. You should see the download progress in your notification area and also can start the install from your pull down notification bar.

Had the exact same problem as OP. Disabled Screen Adjuster and installer works.
Disabled Filter Your Screen and it installed perfectly!
Thank you!
Other than that, it all works well enough. Because it has access to the Google Play Store, any app you may want to install on the G Pad is easily accessible – about a million of them. The main weakness of the Kindle Fire HDX is app selection. Because Amazon chooses to only let its tablet access its own Amazon Appstore, there is a much smaller selection of games and software available. This isn’t the case with the G Pad. It can run any Android app.

Has anyone found (or created an app) to take screenshots on the OUYA?
I know there's the ADB method, but I really just want an internal application of button setup of some sort; the ADB over WiFi is semi buggy for me and I don't want to disconnect my OUYA from the TV to attach to the computer (then I can't see the screen of course...).
Can anyone think of a method without ADB?
You may try and side load airdroid on to the ouya. The app has a screen capture option along with remove control of your android device from a web browser.
Ouya has multitasking disabled. When an app isnt running in the foreground, it is killed. Its a performance thing to make games run more bettererer. I dont think any screenshot app would work out well with this option turned on.

This is what I do. AirDroid was the first app I installed and it's the only app you need to sideload, manage, and take screen shots of the OUYA.

I thought this originally, too, but I've found it doesn't effect the performance too much. I've had multitasking on for 3-4 daays now (I use my OUYA every day for hours) and have seen very little difference.

As a side question, were do most people put their sideloaded APKs? So far all I have done is clickrd on them within my Box.com app and they just start.
I use the install directly feature of AirDroid, the apk is only temporarily transferred to the OUYA and then deleted after install, like as if you were downloading it from the Play store or Amazon market.

yeah but this isn't uncommon... some apps look for either wifi or mobile network and just won't work on the OUYA without Wifi. It's one of those things that dev's of those apps probably never thought of a Android device running with ethernet.

It doesn't really at all honestly; though I have mine to only allow 3 background processes at 1 time. The only effect it has is on xbmc if you're watching 1080P with a heavy skin.
[Update] There is no screenshot app that I have found that works for OUYA (rooted, busybox, SuperSU); I resorted to adb over the network with https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.wmendez.adbovertcp and manually triggered screencaps from my tablet.

XFinity app works fine with a mouse & the FVT remote. I mostly need the mouse to able to go thru live or shows & pick one. The FTV remote is needed to go back. The app should work too. Plan to test a K400 keyboard next.. The one thing I found odd is if you unplug the FTV's power you will loose your sign-in info. Not sure why it's not saved like on other apps..

Fire OS 4.6.1 on unlocked GSM 32gig Fire Phone
Notable changes,
Finally we have native wallpaper support
Different slightly improved lock screen notifications
Smart dialer
Ability to switch default SMS/MMS and Keyboard apps
New Dev. Options
Ability to force quit and(or) Disable bloatware apps
Widgets seem to be working well
More detailed settings for Low Motion/Dynamic perspective(specifically for lockscreen, homescreen, and maps)
Google maps is now seemingly 100% functional
Ability to toggle switch cellular data(2g,3g,LTE)
Google Play and GAPPs still working well
Also we now have a bluetooth keyboard config. in our settings
New Emoticons
Status bar is semi-transparent and looks really nice despite lack of persistent icon notifications
Addition of print services pack(HP, Canon, Epson)
Updated Sounds and Notifications settings(
Things that sadly remained the same
No status bar notifications
Cannot individually clear calls or messages from carousel
Still not native android
Notifications seem hit and miss as usual
No Graphical updates or graphical setting in stock message or dialer apps
Camera seems to be the same and I'm still having having better luck with the google camera
App drawer functions the same(new options in app info though)
Overall function of the O.S. seems to improve a lot. Smooth scrolling through the carousel, less if not no lag at all on sleep/wake, and just all in all more pleasing to look at.
I updated manually by downloading the .bin and moving it to the home folder and searching for update with wifi/data off, and because of that I am unsure if the new att bloatware apps were part of the update due to my carrier or if they were packaged inside the update bin which was a shocking 1.3gb. Even though I am fairly certain that those apps are my fault in the first place I feel the need to warn that the U.S. att .bin file could have that affect and unlocked users may want to wait for the OTA just to play it safe. There is however a great guide on here explaining the process and linking quite a few files(for those who can't wait).
**This did work for me however if it does not work for you I am not at fault, sideload at your own risk**
Feel free to add what you find I know I missed a few things but since there is no apparent changelog from amazon I figured I'd try to compile a small unofficial changelog of sorts.
Tried Towelroot Its been hung at the towelroot screen with a highlighted "make it rain" button for about ten mins... I'm going to leave it running for a while and see if anything happens but I'm assuming its still a no go.
I've seen issues regarding call audio, google services and a few other things but I personally haven't been able to recreate them and fortunately haven't had them in the first place.
Camera seems faster in taking photos for me. Also there is an auto HDR setting, before it was either on or off.

I've been using the stock camera app for a few days and it seems to be better than I first thought but I still prefer the google camera app, but at this point it seems to be my personal preference... I really just feel more comfortable with the google camera app.(long time nexus user)
I have seen quite a few people with the google play issues and I tried removing then reloading google services and google play but i havent had any issues the only advice i can give is to remove and try again making sure to pay close attention to the order you install the packages(there is a specific order, and a few great guides on here)
The LG watch seems to be common issue as well but I don’t have one to test with, I'll look into buying one and see what I can do. Until then the only advice I have is to unpair the watch and your phone and reboot before attemting to repair the two. Good luck and sorry.

Honestly I don't think this is intentionally being done by either side, we run an outdated version of android so naturally were going to see at least a few compatibility issues, have you tried a factory reset and full reload of play services in order? Also be patient with 4.6.1 from everything I've read its not technically official on the unlocked phones yet.

Have you tried the "Screen Time Parental Control" app? I use it.
Kids Place would be great, but the home button can't be locked by the kids place app, because the fire launcher always starts if pressing the home button. So it is not a parental controled app...
Has anyone any idea how to make the lock possible ? Are there root rights necessary ?

I use Smart Launcher. My device is rooted and it's running 5.0.1. It was a birthday gift for my 4 year old. I rooted it and disabled updates and deleted the fire launcher after I installed Smart Launcher. So I don't do anything with it now myself unless it's installing some new game for my 4 year old. Is 5.1.1 not able to be rooted? I'm not keeping up with the scene on this tablet because I don't use it myself, only when I set it up for my son, and it was on 5.0.1 after whatever initial update it got when I first turned it on.

ok, with supertool (see link at the bottom), just install google playstore and novalauncher. Permanent root is not necessary ! It worked perfectly for me and kids place doing well !
Please notice that a factory reset and a 5.1.1 version is needed before using the super tool from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=64358332#post64358332
I tried AppLock from Qizmodo, has been perfect, but isn't working with 5.1.1 anymore. Really sad. So maybe Mobile Fence will work, website says it is compatible with 5.1.1.
I don't wanna just lock apps, but set a time limit for e.g. games so that my daughter is able to use the musci player all day, but will not play games for several hours. If someone has an idea how to get AppLock running again, would be great. I contacted the company itself, but doesn't seem they are working on the app anymore.
Have you tried supertool to get novalauncher ? Maybe that can cope with applocker.

I don't see the benefit of novalauncher. I can hide unused apps, ok. But I want to use some apps with a predefined time limit. So I installed some nice games, want to define the group "games" and set a time limit for their usage, let's say 1h daily. I find no way to do that with novalauncher...

You can simply disable that via the Kids Place - Parental Control app!!!

Try the Market Helper app. It works well for me (it did, anyway), but YMMV. Make sure you've got root access enabled in developer settings and/or SuperSU installed, as the app requires root to do its job.

I usually choose to fake/emulate one of the phones in the Phone section (the HTC One X+ works for my purposes, but you may want to change that if the Play Store blocks apps you're interested in). Make sure that, if you're using a Marshmallow/CM13 ROM, you grant the Market Helper app access to contacts, phone, and storage via the app's listing in the system settings; without those permissions, it can't do what it's designed to do. Also, when the app sends the device info over to the Android Device Manager servers, you may get an error message saying it can't send the device config (this happened to me recently, but I was able to successfully spoof the device in the past). In that case, the app won't work until the developer updates it, and you'll have to use the old-fashioned manual apk download & install process (or use a third-party app store).
Thanks for the tip on permission. That error did pop up.
Once the spoof is activated, Google Device Manager did show the latest activity is from the fake device. However, Google Play Store still hide the apps. For example, Plants vs Zombies 2. Tried several devices, including those I have for real and have the app in Play Store but none of them can pull out the apps.
Is there any other steps?
Thanks

Clear the cache for the Play Store app, and also try force stopping the Google Services Framework app. After that, if you still can't get it to work, try giving the device a couple hours to let the Play Store adapt to the device spoof.

Tried all suggestion, except the clearing cache does not work on CM13. Still not getting the apps showing up.

which CM13 ROM/build are you running? You might want to clear app data for the Play Store if you can't clear the cache itself. Also, I'm pretty sure the device spoof is reset on reboot.

Clearing data appear to work. Thanks
