I know you cant install apps from the play store without xposed and root (which is impossible now because of the use of an efuse http://paris.utdallas.edu/ssiri08/Tonti_SSIRI_eFuse_V2.pdf)
But can you install the framework needed to use google apps? like Google Play music via adb sideload?
has anyone tried this scenario yet?
I have not tried it yet but according to this post it is possible.
If you have rooted and using the latest firmware then you can still load up google play.
As far as google music, the latest apk even through google play wont work. You have to get one version less.
I have the apk if you need, I can upload it for you. Send me a pm. Try side loading that apk and test it out on your firetv if google play is what you are looking for.
Google Play Music APK Version?

Do you happen to have the version number? I've tried the following four - the two middle versions (^) crashed without loading, and the newest and 5.6 versions (*) loaded fine, but wouldn't let me set up an account:
Google Play Music 5.7.1788Q.1634597 *
Google Play Music 5.7.1783Q.1607940 ^
Google Play Music 5.7.1781Q.1595424 ^
Google Play Music 5.6.1642P.1595276 *
Any help would be fantastic. I'm not rooted, but there does seem to be some promise for side-loading Play Music.
I've been unsuccessful in getting the Google Play Music apk to work, installing it is no problem though,
I have managed to install the Google Play Music script via XBMC (Kodi) though, just push the app via the Fire TV tool, install it, enter your credentials via the configuration option & then run it.

Get a new Fire TV rooted and running great. However, couldn't get the Google Play store working as described here: http://www.aftvnews.com/how-to-install-the-google-play-store-on-the-amazon-fire-tv/
Is there a newer method or set of apks I should be using?
I extracted the Google APKs from a working rooted Fire TV and sideloaded them on the new Fire TV. Everything worked in the beginning. I was able to log in and it even began to try to update SuperSU. However, it froze up. It wouldn't work after that I suspect because it upgraded the google framework to the new version that doesn't work. I got around it by uninstalling the Google Framework app and the play store worked again. I used an Xposed Module to allow apps that need the framework to run without it.
Google APKs:

I have a similar issue with my FTV. Google play keeps updating, and causes it to stop working. Are you saying you used these apks to make it work again?
Can you please provide the steps you took to make it work again?

If Google Play quits as soon as it's run, uninstall all Google Play modules and use the APKs I posted above.
If you already have Google Play installed, but it only works if Google Play Services is removed (and you need Google Play Services for certain apps) and 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

thank for the info
So I rooted my phone because i wanted full control over it.
I know a bit about android and stuff because im an app developer. But I have ruined my phone because i wanted to go back to the old market. I dont like the new google play so i decided to delete everything associated with google play store. And i know google play services updates the store so i also uninstalled it. When i realized that i couldn't have the market, i decided to revert back to google play. But now all the apps are saying "google play services error" or it needs an update. I have downloaded the latest version off the web (i cant get the play store to work :/) But i have tried lots of versions of both google play and google play services. None work! Any tips? I might have deleted the marketupdater.apk or something. Not sure....
Any help appreciated!

Maybe flashing a matching gapps package with cache/dalvik wipe might help. Though not if your on stock. Though if on stock flashing your stock ROM again with just a cache wipe might help.
Only guessing here though. I'd usually just flash my whole system from fresh if I came across a problem like this because I'm OCD about things like that.
After the latest update of bt sport I sideloaded onto the fire stick but the message saying it requires access Google play services to open. Does anyone else have this issue or a way to get round it? Older versions I put on don't work as it requires it to update
I'm having the exact same issue. Maybe BT have got wise to it and put a block on it.
Has anyone tried adding the Playstore/services framework to see if that fixes anything?
I haven't. How easy is that to do?
Had same problem yesterday with new update.
Followed these instructions and all good again.
Can't post a link, but do a search on AFTVnews for sideloading Google Play. Article dated 16 October 2016 has the guide.

Did you use the resigned apks to avoid the services update and keep the play store working, or use something else to freeze the play services from the unaltered apks? In theory, is one of these methods better for the stick than flashing the open gapps package? The sideload sequence actually seems reversible compared to flash (think I read someone had to do a factory reset in twrp or restore a backup.

Sorry, you've completely lost me there. I just downloaded the zip file, extracted the four files and sideloaded them in the same order. Followed the instructions and all working.
I then got an out of date message for Google services from the BT App (rather than the doesn't support one) and sideloaded a current version.
When sideloading the four unzipped files I had to remove the spaces from the file names.
I followed the instructions from the article and the BT Sport app just gives me a blank screen then it goes back to the main menu. Any ideas?
---------- Post added at 08:44 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:28 PM ----------
So I started the process again this time using the latest Google Services apk. I kept to the order of the files and the app is working again. I did have to try the app a few times but it then loaded fine and I'm back up and running. Thanks for your help!
Hi folks have stumbled across this after also losing BT sport on fire tv due to update, am following the aftv guide as suggested could someone either please post a link to the latest Google Play Services APK they used as this is how I am coming unstuck.... help greatly appreciated!

You only need the first 3 files.
Then install the google play services update i.e. Google Play services 10.5.35 (238-147654167) beta worked for me.
Hi Guys, just received my new Fire Stick the other day (with Alexa voice control) with a view to side loading the BT Sport App as per the instructions at AFTV as well as this post however I've run through uploading and installing all the apk's which was fine but the BT Sport App is still asking for to update Google Play Services, I've even tried with the updated Google Play Services APK which was released on the 7th but to no avail?
I can open the Google Music App ok but just this BT Sport issue is driving me crazy, is it something I've done or is it some sort of block by BT Sport/Google??
Cheers for any help on this!

See my response above. Just search google for the play services file I listed. Worked for me and still working today.
Sent from my LG-LS993 using Tapatalk
Tried that version as well as the newer version that's now on there. Done a factory reset and tried everything from scratch but still the same?
Only thoughts are the BT Sport App I downloaded may have been updated, is there different versions available somewhere?
fix
Hi There, fyi technics:
1. Uninstall btsport, google play services & google play store from fire tv.
2. Install latest google play services, 11.7.30 FROM Apkmirror
3. Install the google play store apk (com.android.vending) that is located in the zipped file in the aftvnews article about installing google play music posted on the 14th october.
4. Sideload latest version of bt sport apk (4.8.0)
5. Get to the point where u get an error when opening google play store (you will see a retry button).
6. OPEN bt sport
7. Crack open a cold one whilst listening to Michael Owen talk manure for two hours.
God speed, may your hammer be mighty
I'm finding the same as Teknics, have tried both 4.8.0 and 4.9.1 with the latest 11.7.30 Beta and it still saying that I need to update google services.
Even tried the google services that was with the play store from AFTV but still no joy...
Edit.
Finally managed to sort it, uninstalled Google play services and then used Downloader on the Fire to get the services app from apkpure, now it works.
Just need to work out how to navigate it now lol
I am trying to use android auto mirror link on my ford ecosport. Tried many things, but I don't get any other app displayed except Sync 3. As per the video I referred, it says it requires google play services to be of older version (12.6.88 or lower), but I had 13.x version on my pixel 2. I disabled device admin apps, and uninstalled google play services, it went back to 12.8.xx version. Now am not getting option to uninstall it. Neither am getting a valid apk to degrade back to older versions. Due to this am not able to use neither CarStream nor AA mirror link. Can someone please help. :crying::crying::crying:

Can you please the version of play services? And if possible please tell me the version of play store, play servises framework. Please please please. And did you upgraded to android 11?
Hello friends,
Try flashing MIUI EU ROM. This will help your phone about Google Play stuff better than installing .apk app manually. Google Play stuff work best in system. Flashing .apk will still cause some glitches and errors.
check this youtube video, you can find some links in the description, download those apps to your phone and install them. THE MOST IMPORTANT is to stop Google play services to auto-update itself, and for that you must block Google Play services to access internet. You must go to Settings/Apps/Manage Apps/ then click on Google Play services, then scroll down and you'll see "Restrict data usage", then uncheck "WLAN" and "Mobile data". I also block Google Play store from accessing the internet, sometimes I will allow it to access Internet to update all apps on my phone, then when it's completed, I turn off WLAN and mobile data for the plays store again. This is a temporary solution until someone comes up with a functioning Google installer...Or install a rom such as xiaomi.eu
