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

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.
I have noticed that all my rooted boxes now eventually go to a white screen with the google play store and it no longer will open. Is there any fix for this? I am not sure what has caused this unless mabye google play store is not compatible with the latest prerooted firmware?
That's probably due to the Google Play services. Uninstall it and install the XPosed Module that circumvents the need for Google Play Services

I have xposed module already installed are you saying to keep google play services uninstalled? I thought that was one of the four files necessary for Google play store to function.

You might need it to install play store (though I'm not sure) But I can say the method posted above works. Just uninstall play services and activate the module.

Is this new? I've been running play store fine for a year and this is the first time I hear of needed to uninstall Google play services. I've also had xposed installer running all this time.

People been reporting it on & off for a few months. Xposed really has nothing to do with it except to download the mod in the link above and activate it (same way you did hdxposed by rbox). Fire os wasn't meant to run play store and the fact its based on jellybean means more & more we'll have issues. But this device isn't the only one to have problems with play services (hence the xposed mod.) Hopefully we get the lollipop update soon.

Did it worked like a charm... it's weird i've rooted atleast 10 units at this point and i've never had this issue until recently.
Hello All,
I have a rooted Fire TV 2 and have installed Google Play. I was able to login to Google Play but none of the apps that require Google play will work. I know the playstore won't work for downloading apps etc. but on the Fire TV 1 the same install of gapps allows apps like MediaHouse UPNP and others to work. Is there a version of gapps that work for the Fire TV 2, or some workaround to get the apps requiring Google Play to work.
Thanks
Is it the lack of the Play store or Google Play Services? For the latter, try installing this XPosed module: http://repo.xposed.info/module/xeed.xposed.dngmod

thanks for the reply. I thought Xposed wasn't working on rooted Fire TV 2. There's a thread about Busybox working but not Xposed, if I'm not mistaken. I'm not concerned about the Play Store not working, only the apps that require it, so it probably is more of a Google Play Services issue. Have it working on my Fire TV 1 and although Xposed is installed I'm not using a Play Store module or anything. Just want to install whatever is required for the apps to work not necessarily for the Play Store.
thanks
Maybe Play Services Patcher?

thanks for the suggestion. Gave it a try but no go. You have to install his Google Play Services for the patcher to work, but it won't install on Fire TV 2 because it says incompatible. I'm really thinking it is just the version of Google Play and associated apps that is causing the problem.
Afternoon everyone.
As per the title, is the play store working on the tv stick?
I've got root (with kingo), I've installed the xposed framework. I've "adb install'd" the apk's for acc's manager, play- services, framework, search, play store (all from a firegapps zip file, found in a year old thread). I've installed and activated HDXposed also.
WHere do I go from here, if at all possible?
Ok, so i now have the play store app opening but am getting an error [RH-=01].
I'm presuming this is due to using old apk's.
Any pointers anyone?

Clear cache/data for Google Play Services, Framework and Playstore. Try to open and set up playstore again. also, what version of playstore are you using? I would try to fined a leanback version.

Same error, after clearing cache and data.
The apk's came from the firegapps zip, in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/fire-tv/themes-apps/how-to-install-gapps-root-t2960705
I've got an amlogic s812 clone box that I have root access to. I'll try scouring that box for the same apk's as that'll use a leanback variant.
Ok. I've flashed updates to the services, framework, account manager and the playstore (leanback variant from December. Most recent I could see) and still getting the same error.
i think, we get the Librarys installed to get it work but thos can only work when TWRP is installed. But current, we wait for a release of it, nobody knows if it come or not.
other way is, a Dev write a script what install all files with correct permission included... same as xposed.

Aye, thanks. I'd come accross that site during my rsearching. I'm also comfortable using abd for pushing/shell/installing etc but I didn;t want to be beaten by not getting play-store to work. ALthough, this does cover the majority of the apps that'd be needed.
I am using k30i chinese rom handset. Recently i have updated android 10 to android 11. After updating i cant use google play, play service, youtube, gmail etc(all of the google service). In get app there was a google installer to install every google app, now there isnt. Ive manually installed it and it says purchese error when i try to download play apps. I have manually installed play service, play service framework, account manager and play store. Play store did loged in me but after that everything turned same. What should i do to get play service?? Please help.
I have the same problem. What i did was i manually installed the apk version of all the google app. I installed older version of google play services as I can't install the latest one. Everything work just fine after that

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
