Pretty sure you have to be rooted to install the play store and core apps required. There are other ways to install apps those. Yalp app is a decent one that will download apps from the google play store. Also you can download from APK mirror and sideload. I have the play store on older fire Tv's it was barely functional at best. I would recommend App starter if you want apps away from amazon.

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
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.
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).
Gapps goes well beyond installing an APK... You have to be rooted, install Xposed, among other things.

I'd still like that poster to elaborate for the folks out there that would like native google play support, and besides I told you about Aurora, so I'm well aware of it, it's not perfect it has its own issues.
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.

I would like to install Google play services on my Amazon Fire TV 2 rooted with Rbox Boot Menu Twrp.
I have tried following older guides but they appear to not work on newer firmware or are just oudated and/or plain unhelpful
(Important) If possible I would like to use the leanback (Android TV) version of google play for ease of use with a remote.
Please don't link me to older guides, Chances are I've already tried them.

You can install Google apps on your Fire TV using OpenGapps package from https://opengapps.org, select tvstock or pico and flash it to TWRP.

When I used OpenGapps it refused to install insisting that there wasn't enough system storage on the device (I know there is because I installed the apps manually but they didn't work) I was hoping that someone could send a link to the required files for installing Google Play *Leanback Manually

You can't just flash it. You can likely follow some of the other threads that work, but being a locked device (sloan is rooted not unlocked) you risk bricking your device and having to open it and short it (blah blah blah). Really though, what are you looking to do with play services? micro-g is a nice work around, and the play store is garbage for firetv (use fdroid or what ever works for you). What are you looking to do with play services?
There are plenty of threads that give details on how to install, xposed is usually required.

I already have TWRP and Rbox boot menu installed, I already have Xposed. I'm looking to use the google play services because Some apps refuse to work without google play (Functional, a non-functional version won't work) along with that I own Movies and music on Google Play (Yes I know, it's laughable) .The reason I'm wanting to use the leanback versions is because of remote support since I don't have a spare mouse and The mouse enabler is excruciatingly slow and painful to use.
The main reason I asked for a Guide is because most Guides on installing google play are either horribly outdated or strait up misinformation like this(deceptive title) or This (Non-functional)
