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'd asked the same thing months ago. I've yet to find a direct method. What I've done was to install things to my phone or tablet, then sideload them. Or if you are just wanting to backup the apk, there are many backup apps out there.

I wanted that to try sideloading app's from Amazon App store that are marked as non compatible with Fire TV, but few of then should work fine..
Maybe some apps that require Google Account does not require in the Amazon App Store (not tested)

The best way to do that is to download them to a compatible device then sideload them. f you are rooted, you can install the Google Play Store too and access many more apps.

An Alternative method is to install them on a compatible device from the Play Store, and then extract them with an apk extractor, also from the Play Store.
It's still a mystery (to me) why Amazon hasn't figured out what's compatible with the fire and what's not.
Yeah, but the main problem is that some apps require google account (google services must be installed) and some of then does not require that in the amazon app version..
My device version can't be rooted... i got it with an rooteable version, then i turned it on (without internet) and after reading few tutorials in how to root it, after few hours it started updating automatically and i was not able to cancel it (IT WAS WITHOUT INTERNET) ¬¬

Then your only choice is to use a different device to install them on from the Amazon Appstore, then sideload them to the FTV. It's easy to do. There are several apps that will sideload an installed app on one device directly to the FTV.

Correct. So I guess I've been lucky. I'm not rooted and so far I've been able to install everything I've wanted to install. Except, of course, the Play Store itself. Which IMO, is only an inconvenience.
What is it you want to install? What do you want your FTV to do that it doesn't?
I install the app on my tablet, and then use AGK to sideload to my FireTV stick. My tablet is a Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1, running ICS 4.0.4, and won't run Kodi for example (it's not a Neon device). This method is how I was able to get Kodi installed on the Fire stick. Of course the problem is getting the app installed on the tablet if it's listed as non-compatable by Anazon. As for making backups of apps on my tablet, I use ES Task Manager. Free and works like a charm.
asphalt 8 amazon apk
I have a similar problem. I have a fire hd 6 and no other amazon device. I would like asphalt 8 on it but it says it is incompatible. I cant believe this quad-core tablet couldn't handle asphalt when my moms old single core acer can. If I get the apk from my nexus 7 (also shows as incompatible with asphalt in amazon store) I get a no license error. I bought the game on the amazon site so if anybody has the apk I would appreciate it. Thanks
I just released an extension for Chrome for downloading APK files from Amazon Appstore directly on your PC. You can check this thread for more information
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
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
http://forum.xda-developers.com/xposed/modules/mod-app-run-google-play-services-1-0-t3054115
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! Can anyone find a solution to install Play Store on FireStick 4K? I manage to install Google Play Store and Google Play services, but i can't sign in. I installed Google Account Manager 7.1.2 , but this is not a solution. Any solution?
A very simple solution to move files on FireStick 4k is to install Es File Explorer, and after that use Total Commander to connect from your PC to FireStick via View On PC option from Es File Explorer (FTP connect).

Play Store won't work on Fire TV
It simply does not work. You might want to use Aptoide, third-party app store instead. Or, you could obtain the APK of Play Store app from the internet and sideload it onto Fire TV.

So, I managed to root this beauty 1+9 Pro relatively easily.
I got Magisk installed, and hid all the Apps that needed hiding.
Even Google Pay works.
But I can't for my sanity figure out why Netflix or Android OS 11 is refusing to let me install Netflix.
Everytime I try to install the Netflix App latest APK, extracted from my old working phone ( Razer Phone 2 also rooted), it will just give me the error message " Sorry No Application Available "
Does anyone have a clue what can be done to make Netflix install in a rooted 1+9 Pro ?
Thanks.
BTW i tried several Netflix App version already.
Also I do know the APK works because I used it to install on another Tablet that will not show up Netflix on Google store.

Is Netflix currently installed as a system app? I wasn't able to uninstall that or get it working, so when I was on 11.2.2.2 I managed to fix it by installing a *newer* version of the Netflix apk that I grabbed from apkpure.com, over top of the system app. Then I had the same issue again on 11.2.4.4, and that method didn't work anymore. However, that time it let me uninstall updates to the app and then update in the play store.
I dont know how exactly, but Netflix still detects the rooted device and denies the install from google play, I think based in the unocked boot loader not sure.
I managed to install from apkmirror and is working fine now.
there is a catch though.
They are moving away from simple apk install and using apk bundles, like some sort of tarball with several apks in it, so you will need this apkm installer app for it to install the newer version. to get this installer working you need to disabled MIUI optimizations from dev options. thats all, I got mine working this passed saturday that way
EDIT: never mind with that MIUI option i thought this was a diffirent model, none the less the apkmirror is still worth a shot
I some how managed to force install it via Titanium Backup, but then it gives me another error when I try to run Netflix App.
" This device is not supported by the app "
it's running the latest version Netflix v7.102.0 build 12 35461
You have to install Magisk Canary, once you do so reboot the phone. Wipe Google play stores data and cache.. magisk hide Netflix and the Google Play Services reboot once more. That's how I got mine to work.
Install: liboemcrypto disabler
from Magisk, reboot ....enjoy

It's just so weird, everything else works, Google Pay (wallet), Pokemon Go, Banking Apps, everything else that usually will complain and refuse to run when Root is detected, are all working fine, except for Netflix.

I did this and had the same problem while unrooted, so it turned out to be a waste of time. It seems to have an issue with the unlocked bootloader, not just root. At least with root you can hide unlocked status, which is a step in the right direction. Hide root from Netflix, and also hide magisk app itself in magisk settings.
If you're trying to install Netflix over the system app, make sure to first uninstall updates to the system app so it's the oldest possible version. Then make sure whatever version you're installing on top (whether from play store or APK download) is newer than your installed version. Older versions will not install over newer ones.

Update.
Minor good news.
I wiped the phone from recovery mode.
So, the phone is kind of factory mode, I completed the "new" phone setup thing, and the first thing I went to try was Netflix and it worked.
So... it appears to be something to do with Root and/or Magisk being detected.
Update 2
More good news, I rooted it again, installed Magisk and Netflix is still working.
Not sure why it wasn't working before, also not quite sure what was the actual fix.
I don't really consider a full system wipe a "fix" but well that did it for me.

So, I just imported Apps and Data from the old phone again via Google "setup my device" transfer, and now Netflix got disabled again.
I'll try again and skip Google transfer to find out if that helps.

However it still doesn't show up in Google Play store when I search for Netflix.
