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.

You can access and install all your PlayStore apps with Aurora Manager

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.

Please let those who have something to contribute actually contribute, your new account for post count farming isnt welcome, especially when your just copy-pasting responses, some have got it working, I encourage those who have to post how they did, instead of getting the same garbage repeated by people like you.

So i rooted my kindle fire, and, using root explorer, successfully installed Google Play. But i have a few questions.
1. I have v3.15.19, but i cannot find some apps, like 100 floors and Rockplayer(lite).
2. Is there anyway to get Google Play to auto-update?
3. Is there anyway to get Google Play as my main Market, because when it gives me any links, it opens up Amazon Market, not Google Play
4. What else can rooting do for me. All ive done is install Google Play. I know i can install ROMS like CM7 or CM9, but what else can i do?
Thanks!
EDIT: Well I flashed a few ICS Roms(CM9 and Energy) but never having a android device before and getting used to the kindle fire's OS, I really didn't like ICS, and, luckily, I made a backup and i just restored the backup and everything was back to its old state.
Oh yeah, and for 3, I went into the Amazon Market, and went somewhere in the menu that let me decide to open links automatically or have it ask me which one. So that problems solved.
you can flash modaco if your on rooted stock it may give you more benefit in the play store if your having issues. google play and amazon work side by side quite nicely plus you have the benefit of the stock experience if thats what you really want. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1439916

sense no one gave a good answer to Question number 3 I will give it a try
3. the only way to make it so that it loads the Google Play store instead of amazon app store is to Flash a non-Kindle based ROM but before you run and flash a custom ROM.
If you are a prime member I would suggest that you do not flash a non-Kindle based ROM because you will lose your access to the Amazon's Lending Library, and Amazon Instant Video.
I would suggest you flash a non-Kindle based ROM if you wont a full android experience and do not need the services listed above

That isn't necessarily true. I have a rooted KF and am still able to access my Amazon subscription services and videos.
I flashed the MoDaCo ROM and am using GoLauncher EX to still give me the Aneroid feel. In order to get around Amazon's rediculous 'no root' block, I simply use Voodoo OTA RootKeeper to 'save' my root status and fake an un-root status. Then you can restart your amazon app and it will allow you to access your prime and instant video stuff.
When you're done watching, you can return to root status using Voodoo again.
Hope that helps!

That is not what I was Talking about. I know you can use that method to access the services on a Rooted Kindle but to my knowledge there is no method to get access to Amazon Prime services on a Non-Kindle Based Rom.

My apologies, I missed when you said non kindle-based ROM. And to my knowledge you are correct.

Amazon doing something new to block play?
I rooted my KF (6.3.1) and installed the services framework and play (3.5.15), but it won't allow me to login to my google account, says "Can't establish a reliable data connection to the server".
Is Amazon doing something new to keep us away from Play -- something in a hosts table or firewall setting somewhere?

Download and install MoDaCo. It is pre rooted stock UI with Google framework services and Play Store already installed. Besides being a little faster, you really won't notice a difference.
Is there any way to download apk directly from amazon app store on computer? like these sites that do that for play store?

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
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.
Hi All,
I have a requirement which I have not been able to figure out. I have the Firetv Generation 2 with the latest OS. I also have the NVidia Shield and the Infomir's Stalker App purchased there. When I move the Extracted APK to the firetv, it installs ok but then starts off and brings a popup that the license file of google play is missing.
Is there a way I can bring the license file the application is looking for on the firetv or
can I install google play and install it through that?
There is no Firetv version of the application. Any help is much appreciated.

Post a link to the file and I'll see if I can strip the gplay from it.
Edit: never mind, I found the app and realized its a licence issue. Won't touch it here. Good luck.

Alternatively, Is there a way to root the box and or install Google Play and get it through that? I saw a guide to install Android TV Fully but that I believe requires Root. The Last time I rooted my firetv years ago, I bricked it and I have two bricked firetv's in the closet. Except for this app, I don't have any need to root.
You can install google play services to get apps that require it to run, but you can't sign in to get past the licence check. Not without root.

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.
