This is my first time trying this type of stuff on android. I used ADB to side load apps. I got HBO GO to work but when I tried Starz play . I get error saying that I need to install a newer version of Starz Play. I downloaded Starz Play dataed 9-4-2014 from google market place. I haved tried to uninstall and re-install it. Any suggestion?

Hi,
I had version 6.2.1 and i root it and everything was great could use the Market (Play) and so on , after upgrading i could still use the market and install things although i read that upgrading to 6.3 kills the root , nevertheless i did KUF and it worked ok and i get the TWRF and i can also get into it , however i would like to know how can i know if my Kindle has been root, entering the Market i see the same application and everything is working OK .
so first question:
1. after KUF how can i know that my kindle has been rooted correctly
2. after finishing the KUF my computer doesn't recognize the Kindle not matter what i do , even try to re-install he drives - strange btw i see in the device manager android phone - android ADB interface , i'm trying a fresh OS.
3. how come i cant see all application in the market only some of them, is it cause the market can see that it's a Tablet
Thanks

To tell if you are rooted, download and install "Terminal Emulator" from the market. From the terminal type "su" without quotes. If your prompt changes from $ to #, or you get a "Superuser" request, you are rooted.
As far as the Market is concerned, only apps that are known to be compatible with your device will show (unless you edit your build.prop). Some will still work but you'll have to download them from other sources i.e. Google search NameofApp.apk...just stay away from paid apps with this method.

Hello my name is Sean and I have recently rooted my phone (captivate glide) and installed a custom ROM. Whenever I try to update apps like the AT&T Code Scanner, Qik Video Lite, Andoid Keyboard, or even Google Play itself I receive this error message:
"Package file was not signed correctly. Uninstall the previous copy of the app and try again."
Also when I run certain apps like Spot Hero or Clash of Clans I get the following message:
"Google Play services, which some of your applications rely on, is not supported by your device. Please contact the manufacturer for assistance."
I have searched the forums and found a few instances with similar problems, but the issue was either never resolved or didn't match the problem I was experiencing. I've Googled the problem and a few folks suggested using Titanium Back Up to uninstall the app in question and then re-install, but I have read some users say that they are then unable to re-install the app. I don't want to lose any functionality, so I haven't tried that.
Here is a step-by-step of what I did to my phone:
1) Shutdown my phone and rebooted into download mode with Odin 3.04 running
2) Flash CLOCKWORK MOD RECOVERY 6.0.1.2 (found here)
3) Reboot in download mode
4) Flash stock ICS ROM (found here)
5) Flash Superuser 3.2-RC3-arm-signed.zip (following the instructions found here)
5) Flash GApps.zip for 4.0.4 (found here)
6) Reboot and the phone says it's upgrading Android and optimizing applications
7) Once the phone is booted up and the SD card is done scanning I run into the problem described above
Has anyone encountered this problem before? If so, please share your insights.
Thanks for reading and if you have any suggestions I would welcome the help.
hello
i remember i had same problem when i was using ics, i think you shoulr flash anotherics gapps from diferent source. I do not remember where i downloaded mine
I tried some different gapps and I got some apps like Hangouts to update, but now I receive this message when I try to install Google Play Services:
"Incompatible with other application(s) using the same shared user ID."
I did some further looking into this and found that if I wiped my /system data and reflashed my gapps.zipp that seems to work. I installed Youtube first (since it requires Google Play Services) and that took care of everything.
Unfortunately I have lost any progress I may have made in my game apps and have to download/update everything from scratch and reset my ring tones and such, but at least I have a fully functional, rooted phone.
Actually I take that back. Google Play Services seems to be cooperating, but now I'm getting the package file signature problem again.
I resolved the issue by starting over and following Rawr0w0's guide half way down this thread.
Forgive me for the newbie question. I'd like to sideload a couple of paid Google apps that aren't available for Fire TV. I searched through the forum, but couldn't find an answer. Is it possible to do this?
When I try, I get INSTALL_PARSE_FAILED_NO_CERTIFICATES
Yes it can be done but you will have to get your hands on the APK for it to work. This is because Google Play Store does not exist for the FTV. So to get around this:
1. Get on a PC and log into your Google Play Store.
2. Find the app you want to load onto the FTV.
3. Copy the URL of the webpage of the app you want the APK for.
4. Now go to: http://apps.evozi.com/apk-downloader/ and plug that URL in.
5. Download the APK to your PC.
Now it is just a matter of pushing the APK to the FTV to install the app. That's about it. Remember, just because you can get your hands on an Android app and install it on the FTV does not mean it will work 100%. All you can really do is install it and see if it works or not.
Thanks. I'll give it a try.
I recently received an Amazon Fire Phone and once I updated to 4.6.1 with the official update I downloaded the files to use Google Play that were posted on the forum for 4.6.1. Google Play setup fine no problems and the Injustice and Mortal Kombat X games work great without problem. However I can't get the Contest of Champions game to work. It will open up but it wont connect to the servers it gives me this error message: "Failed to Log in, An unknown error has occurred. Please try again later." It has been doing this for about a week. I have ADB setup but I'm not sure if there is a way to plug in the phone and get more information about the error? I'm new to this so any help would be much appreciated.
Same problem

I have the same problem exactly. Injustice does work fine. However, I have noticed other Google Play apps that need to do updates within the app, want to use the Amazon app store or they won't update. This, of course, does not work. I have tried turning of app store, but problem persists.
I have Hitachi android tv 5.1.1 which is virtually exactly like a TCL TV with TCL code number and the software version of mine starts with V8-S8AT07-LF1V288, with google play services 8.3.01 (2385995-846). I have tried to update it with many versions to no avail.
I am not able to run google play store either(version: 5.10.32-leanback) nor sign in with google account unless I update the google play services...
I appreciate your valuable advice in this matter or if there is an update to the firmware of this TV

Hi...just ask google for Playstore apk and install the apk. Put it on usb-stick or internal storage from tv and install with file manager.
But hey why you need play store? there are many other stores on web and you could install most apps by apk...its like a exe by windows
