Stock ROM + Rooted, Can Connect to Google Play Store but apps wont download... - 8.9" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So my saga continues, i apparently bought a "development" build of a KF 8.9 HD off Craigslist. It was broken according to him so i just reflashed it and it seems to function with one exception. I say this because my tablet id is "Jem-DVT-Eng-03" which someone said is the last engineering build. Where this guy got it i dont know.

Upon a clean flash with KFHD Restore tool i couldnt connect to google...some searching and it seemed i had to edit my hosts file. Did that, now i can sign into google and log into the Play store.
The problem is when i try to download something from the store it just sits at "Downloading...." and will never progress. I know its not my wireless, because at this same time i can search for the APK for some app on google, go download it and install it via Play Store no problem.
Im starting to wonder if there is some other file to edit, or Ip to add to my hosts file so that Play Store can download properly...ive checked and cleared my Download Manager and Downloads apps which are both running as well as many reboots and it doesnt change.
If you read my previous thread, trying cyanogenmod or any other roms with their equivilent GApps just crashes Google Play immediately when i start the download, or wont start Google Play store without crashing...atleast the stock one doesnt do that. But it wont download either...
I should also note this is ONLY for apps, videos, and games. I can stream/listen to music and read books off the market fine...which is even more confusing.
EDIT UPDATE
So i stumbled upon something that may help you guys help me. I found out that if i have items in play store stuck in "downloading...", when i turn off my kindle and turn it back on when it starts up it downloads the first item, installs it and everything works. Then the second item tries to download, and the download bar just fills up, then goes back to zero, fills up and goes back to zero. If i restart again that one app will actually download and install. So to install 4 apps i have to queue them all up and then restart my kindle 4 times...better than it was before but hopefully this gives some insight into whats happening? Also apps that require an update dont update until i restart the Kindle.

[Q] purchased apps disappeared?!

So i'm runnbing the march 28th cm11 nightly, and a few days ago, I noticed two of my most used applications (also, the only applications I've bought on google play) strangely disappeared from my home screen; I went to the app drawer to put them back, and they were not there either. So I open google play to reinstall them--only it says they ARE installed. Trying to open them from google play results in an instant FC. So from google play, I uninstalled and reinstalled--same results. Going into settings --> Apps, both applications show up, but in place of their regular icons are generic android icons suggesting the apps are on my SD card...

however, I've never tried to install or move apps to my SD card, I certainly haven't done ANYthing to those two apps...what's going on here?! Any insight? I've already factory reset and reinstalled and the problem persists...I'd REALLY like to avoid having to do a wipe that includes /data/media....

I had the exact same problem and had to go back to the 0326 build. I asked the very same question on the CM thread and somebody suggested that a clean flash should take care of the problem (though, to be honest, I've yet to try).
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app
--EDIT--
Just tried flashing the 0331 update clean and downloaded one of my paid apps. I'm still having the same problem. Going back to 0326.

I had a similar issue and was told by someone who loads a lot of these that the apks for the store have to be installed in proper order. I believe if I remember correctly that it was just one of them that had to be installed first and the others didn't matter, but cannot remember which one. I think it might have been the framework, but am not positive about that. If I am incorrect about this I'm sure someone will chime in and answer! You could always try it and if it didn't work remove them and instal in a different order.
You do not have to uninstall any of the 4 google related apks. Simply reinstall them from adb with -r option.
Also, there are later versions of Google Play Services and Google Play Store apps.
Google Play Services = Latest is 6.1.83
Google Play Store = Latest is 5.0.31
I can confirm they both work on FTVs (with the latest firmware)
Download links for the updated apks
Links for download:
Google Play Services: http://www.mediafire.com/download/4721cgqc9ktjj5m/Google_Play_Services_v6.1.83_(1522025-036).apk
Google Play Store: http://www.mediafire.com/download/l3s46qotly4skkg/Google_Play_Store_v5.0.31.apk
In settings enable unknown source, its next to a adb. Install google account, google play service, framework and google play store. After that I deleted youtube, and installed youtube google tv from the play store. This worked for me.

Sideloaded Kodi but wont launch

Hi Peeps,
Being the proud new owner of an AFTV, I decided to install Kodi on my shiny new device.
now I manage to sideload kodi 15.1, adbfire shows success...!!!
When I launch kodi, I am even getting the splashcreen saying "preparing for first run please wait...."
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
As soon as "starting Kodi" appears I am back to my settings menu.
I thought it might be the version of Isengard (I d/loaded the ARM version) of 15.1 and even 15.0 but still having the same issue.
Any thought on this at all
Thanks !!

**BUMP**
Bumping is a no no on xda, especially on a day old thread.
Check how much storage space is available on your device. This is a common occurrence if the device's storage is full. You may need to delete the thumbnail folders in Kodi and/or the temp files (if you're using zero cache).
I have the same problem, its there when i try to launch application but just screen flicks and returns to the launch screen again. Also happens with tvmc even tried loading them on with agkfire from android tablet aswell as abdfire. Im totally stuck and cant find anything on the net to solve it. Fire box as new yesterday and has 4.7gb free space. How do I delete the thumbnail folders/temp files? Any help appreciated!

Issue with RK3126 based treadmill and possibility to flash another rom.

Hi there,
I do not know whether it is the right place for me to ask the question, but anyways...
Recently I have bought treadmill MQ7 (look the pic).

}
At the start it has had it is own crappy Chinese launcher and access to the android preferences was password protected. I have managed to find out the password, installed another launcher (Nova Launcher) and set it by default. Everything is fine except two things that trouble me:
1. Sometimes system suddenly becomes unresponsive, then screen gradually turns white and system restarts and I do not know why, neither how to fix it (I have not ask the support yet, because it is clear that treadmill was not supposed to be used as an ordinary tablet, as there was this launcher). So, any suggestions before I ask support about the issue?
2. The system that installed on treadmill is Android Kitkat 4.4.4:
Kernel version
3.10.0
[email protected]#1
Build number
rk312x-eng 4.4.4 KTU84Q eng.alam.20150914.154051 test-keys
It has no Google Play, neither Google services installed and it is real pain in the a... But, the treadmill has USB port, so is there any way to make a backup of the ROM and flash another one with Google services?
The treadmill's system based on ROCKCHIP RK3126.
Thanks in advance and sorry for my English, it is not my native language.
ciao i guess u have same tablet system installed on my treadmill

i installed netflix , opera mini as browser ,then youtube u can use Vanced old ( work but impossibile to do login youtube ) impossible to installing google play . about google i tested all versions but it going to get issues always on start so google doesnt work ... they blocking mtc sistem so i removed all google apk

Unable to Login to Dropbox After Installing LineageOS

As per the title: a couple of weeks ago, I installed LineageOS 14,1 on my HTC One M8 [previously had rooted Marshmallow GPE installed]
Since then, I've been completely unable to login to Dropbox. I just get this really uninformative dialogue each time:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
and an equally uninformative message in CatLog:
Code:
03-02 15:31:58.151 E/com.dropbox.android.user.AccountStore(28183): Failed to add account
Annoyingly, even though the error persists, whenever I try to login, I receive an email from Dropbox saying "We noticed a new sign in..." and, when I visit Dropbox in a browser, my phone is listed as being a linked device. I can also access Dropbox without a problem via browser on my phone. It's only the app that keeps throwing up this error.
I've tried all the usual tricks like uninstalling & reinstalling the Dropbox app as well as clearing Cache & Data. Also asked Titanium Backup Pro to remove all traces of Dropbox. But nothing has worked. I still get the same error and Dropbox support have been about as much use as a chocolate teapot –unable to do more than suggest I try re-installing the app.
Now, I'm 99% certain that the problem is with Dropbox but, seeing as it only began after I installed LineageOS, I've got to ask whether anyone else has run into similar problems and, if so, how did you resolve it?
Can't help you, it works perfectly for me...
It's unbelievable. I have nuked every single scrap of data relating to Dropbox from my phone; uninstalled app, deleted cache, deleted data, asked Titanium backup to remove all traces of it. Done a root access search for any files/folders on the whole of my device with 'dropbox' in the name and deleted them too. And yet, when I re-install it again and try to login, the exact same thing happens. I've never known an app to so stubbornly refuse to let its slate be wiped clean.
And, as I said in my 1st post, I'm pretty certain the culprit is Dropbox itself. But I just wanted to check in case there was some weird LineageOS voodoo involved too.
