This isn't my tool, but I thought I'd give folks the heads up for those who may not be aware of it.
I figured there had to be an easier method of getting apk packages to the FTV without installing them on a separate device first and then pulling the package from it.
APK Downloader
Just put the URL of the package into the field and it will generate a link for you to download directly. No need for your Google ID or anything.

Interestingly enough I came across this same site when looking for ways to get apk files to try on my FireTV. They have always hit their download limit when I've tried a direct download, however if that happens their Chrome extention works well and is safe (although if you are like be and use OTP with your Google account, you will need to create an application specific password, which is actually a good idea in terms of safety). Once the extension is configured correctly there will be an additional icon in your address bar when you visit play.google.com that will let you download the apk of whatever free Google App Store page you are on.
Hello.
Please forgive me as I know this question has been asked before, but I'm having trouble finding the correct solution with the current version of the Ouya software.
Here is the current information for my Ouya:
Hardware Version: OUYA 1.0
Software Version 1.0.13
When I check for updates, I am told I am on the latest version.
I have performed the following (please note that I have rebooted during each step):
Installed Kinguser to gain root access.
Installed Xposed Installer v2.6.1
Installed Mod Collection For Ouya 5.1
In Kinguser, I have granted root access for Xposed and Mod Collection.
In Xposed, I have checked Mod Collection uder the modules section.
I then placed ps4ouya.zip in the sdcard\download folder, and clicked on the 'Install' button for google play store in Mod Collection.
I then clicked the ON button for Google Play Store.
After doing that, I see 'Google Settings' and 'Play Store' apps under MAKE/Software.
When I click on 'Play Store', I choose that I have an existing Google account, and I am then taken to a website to log in.
I then enter my 2-step authorization code and click 'Remember this computer'.
From that point forward, I'm getting an error message saying 'Unfortunately Google Play has stopped'. I also receive this error message for 'the process com.google.android.gsf.login'.
Any suggestions on how I can proceed to get the Google Play store working?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
So I am from one of those countries where Google Now/Now on Tap is not supported by Google. But I still want to enable it anyway...Need HELP.
It says 'This account is not eligible to use google now'. I have tried all the fix available on the internet but failed. Those are specially not working because they are for lollipop or for previous versions of Android; not for Marshmallow.
CAN ANYONE PLEASE HELP??
BTW, I am looking for both Rooted/non-Rooted methods..
Have you tried xposed framework? I saw that it's available for Marshmallow. It's what I used on my N4 to activate some US-only features because I had my system set to German.

No, I haven't. But I guess that would be a worthy try.. Okay, let's just say it's an option but before Rooting, I wanna try any other possible way.. Thanks..
So it's functional for all of you guys living outside the 'supporting countries'?
I was hoping there must be a way without Rooting... I want to use Google Now, please HELP!!!

Thanks but nothing worked.. It says 'This account is not eligible to use google now'.
I have tried to access US google play store through VPN but it didn't work. And Market Unlocker may work but it requires Root, which I don't want to do this early..
I was searching for a way to get past this too. Finally stumbled upon one after hours of messing around. Worked for me, hope it works for you too.
1. First download hotspot shield or any other vpn app from the playstore.
2. Disable google play services and sign out from your google account.
3. In Settings, go to location and choose "device only".
4. Download google play services from your browser.
5. Start hotspot shield and change location to America or any place where google now is available.
6. Install google play services that you've downloaded via your web browser (Please note that you have to allow installation of apps from unknown sources which can be done in security)
7. Sign in to your google account. You should be able to activate google now under Settings > Now Cards.
8. Once activated, uninstall google play services update that you've installed or disable it again and re-enable it. (If you are able to download apps from the playstore, then you can skip steps 8 to 11)
9. Turn off hotspot shield.
10. Go to apps, search for google playstore and clear data and cache.
11. Now go to google now and select update google play services.
Google Now should work now.

I will try.
No ROOT is required here in this method, right?

Nope. No root required
NOPE. It didn't work.. When turning on Now Cards, it is disabled and says 'not available in your country'.
Seems Hotspot Shield didn't work. Probably Rooting and trying would be only option..

I don't believe gstore works properly yet, until we can stop it from updating. Once you install it, it works once. When you close it, it auto updates.
Maybe it needs few file permissions changed ?

I do not think so. You will need to flash xposed-v80-sdk22-arm64 first, side load XposedInstaller_3.0_alpha4.apk and then run it however like the other explained above google store is not working at the moment.

i could swear reading somewhere (not sure if was from rbox) a few weeks ago they had play store working but were holding off with posting instructions since it was difficult.
either way, i tried old methods including sideloading play store, play services, account manager and play framework with no luck lol
At the moment I have Play Store for Android TV working on my FTV 2. Here is what I have done.
1) Install Xposed Framework (http://forum.xda-developers.com/fir...2-recovery-t3309780/post65217545#post65217545)
2) Flash Open Gapps (http://opengapps.org/) Use ARM64 for Android 5.1. I used the nano version that includes search. You need to flash this in recovery.
3) Install the HDXposed module (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2618158)
At this point you have the Google Service Framework and Play Store installed, however, for some reason the latest Play Store is not working; it says that it is not compatible with the device. You can sideload an older version of the play store (e.g. 5.12.10) that will let you browse for apps but I was not able to download and install any apps. Now to the good news. I sideloaded the Play Store for Android TV. The latest version (6.0.2) has some issues and only shows the Top apps (although you can search for apps) but the previous version (5.10.31) works great. It gives you full access to all the Android TV apps and you can directly install them!
You can download the Play Store apk here:
http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google-inc/google-play-store/
For the Android TV version select the leanback version.
One additional note. I also installed the Market Helper(http://codekiem.com/2013/02/13/market-helper/) where you can select TV as a device ID for the Play Store. I am not sure it is needed but might be.
This will all need more testing but it's a promising step forward. Most Android TV apps I have tried so far work great with the Fire TV remote and game pad and there are some exciting new games such as GT Racing 2 that you can install directly!
Edit: Added correct link for the HDXposed thread.

Were you actually able to get apps to install? I have Play Store running, but every app install throws an error 976.
I did have to use Titanium Backup to remove the Play Store installed by the gapps package. I'm wondering if that has anything to do with it.
How are you starting the play store? I had to use a 3rd party launcher to get it to start for me.

Play Store shows up in FireStarter after I side loaded the lean back version. It did take some keyboard work to get my Google credentials entered. You can't use a mouse to move around the login screens and the "Accept" button doesn't highlight when the keyboard focuses on it.
I can launch it from the Apps section in the Fire TV menu or from Fire Starter. I have installed several apps. Only one or two gave me a 940 error but clearing the Cache and Data for the Play Store solved that. The store does have some issues. I looked at some screenshots from the Play Store on other devices and realized that many app sections are not showing. I also had a few crashes. But you can use the search to find apps and then install them. At the moment you also need to re-install the Play Store after every reboot, maybe removing the system apps would solve that. Work in progress, maybe others have some ideas.
I can't get past the log in screen in play store.
The cursor while using the mouse just dissapears.
On every other app works fine but I just can use the dpad on Google Settings or Google Play which isn't good enough.
I now have play store and xposed working.. downloads working just fine for me.. have it loading to google tv launcher (cant even figure out how to get back to fire tv menu at all but im not complaining haha)
Does the leanback youtube work?

How did you do this?
I flashed xposed from recovery booted installed the xposed apk installed the hdxposed module, activated it, rebooted, flashed open gapps nano arm64 5.1. But now I can't open play store at all ... Looks like version compatibility error. I tried to side load leanback but that just errors instantly and doesn't install. Same with the older version of the normal play store.
So when I went to Google Play store to down load Android Auto it states my unit is not compatible. Didn't know why it's not compatible so I figured why not load it and try it.
I'm running Android 8 Hal build. It compress with the ability to run/install APKs.
Did a Google search for Android Auto APK using chrome in the head unit. Found a version, downloaded.
Opened that APK install program, opened the folder with the download in it, installed.
Low and behold it worked.
I use my phone as a hotspot and bluetooth connection.
Hope this helps others.

Thanks by your info. Just checked and Android Auto installed. But, did ou get using Android Auto built-in phone dialer? In my case I got the message "network not found". It seems device is trying to use built-in 4G line instead phone line from celullar BT. Did you fix this issue?
