Greetings,
(Today is Monday, 07.01.2013 and this post describes my question about using Kindle Fire 2 with apk-downloader 1.4.0 + Google Chrome 24.)
I want to apologize if this is a well known question, but I could not find anything relevant between the loads of info about Kindle Fire 1 and Kindle Fire HD. The question is: is it possible to use the last version of APK downloader (1.4.0) with Chrome 24 or 23 to download apks from Google Play for Kindle Fire 2.
I tried to follow the steps, described on the author's page but ultimately I failed. Here's what I did.
1. I did clear install of Windows XP in Virtual PC (in case the software turned to be malware)
2. I installed the last version of Chrome (24.xxx).
3. ...downloaded apk-downloader 1.4.0 and dragged it onto the extensions page of chrome, which initiated installation of the extension. Went ok.
4. ...ensured that one of my two ancient Google accounts (from the time before phone registrations and etc...) is accessible with the proper username and password (no google wallet of whatsoever personal information in it).
5. Downloaded Redphx's Device ID application via friend's phone - and installed it on kindle with Easy Installer (found on amazon appstore).
This was the first glitch - the device id application failed to show any device id. So I went on to 6
6. I found AIDE on Amazon Appstore and wrote a small application to retrieve the value of Secure.ANDROID_ID. I did that, because I read in some post that TelephonyManager.getDeviceId(); returns null on tablets that do not have cellular connectivity.
7. Entered the account info and the AndroidID into the plugin and went on Google Play. Whenever I'm on an app download page, the plugin icon appears, but also in the webpage under the application name I get "You don't have any devices." Clicking the plugin button in urlbar fails with error 400 "Bad request"
I guess, that either the android_id is not what google wants or the whole thing with apk downloader is a scam. Do You have any ideas? Some clever algorithm to generate fake device ids maybe? My friend's phone (Samsung Galaxy II) seems to download apks that mostly work when installed on my kindle. But I hate to be obtrusive enough to ask for his device id.
Here is a secondary question. Everybody seems to hide their device_id. If someone has Your device_id can he do something nasty?
.
Your question can best be addressed in the proper forum http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1789 .
I tried rooting my Nokia X according to Kashamalaga's guide, but I after extracting the Gapps APKs suggested in the 3rd step I rebooted the phone a bit too soon - failing to change the permissions options for the files. As a result, when the phone turned on there was a loading screen of "Starting apps", followed by looping popups saying : "Google Play services has stopped", "Setup Wizard has stopped", "Can't do this com.google.process.gapps at the moment", and other similar Google app failures.
Whenever I hit OK, another one shows up. I can access the pull down menu, but I can't access the Settings link.
I tried shutting the phone down and went for a factory reset (by holding the Volume Up button as the Nokia logo turns up on the screen and selecting said option), but that doesn't seem to change a thing.
Is there any way I can get it working again? I'd be really grateful for your help and feedback.
PS: I can't access the home screen, hence I can't access the Application Manager and it's like.

Let me know if that works, Naresh. Keep me in the loop.
Use Nokia Tool Kit my friends.
It might fix the error as well as install G-Apps. It has various options.

Hi Guy,
I recently buy a Android TV Philips PUS7909. It's an android tv based with 4.2.2 on board, unfortunatly Philips make the choice to block LOTS of android function...
I can't install unallowed apps, enabling dev mod....
I just want to know if someone here have this tv, or another philips android tv, and if someone can root it etc etc
Yes i know, it's not even christmas , but maybe someone can do amazing thing on android tv, specially on xda !
Hi,
I've a 48PFS8159 and could not find a way too.
My dream is the possibilty to install kodi/xbmc !
And something like Retroarch with the possibility to connect a dualshock
I too have a PUS7909/12 Android TV and I was disappointed by several things, one of them being unable to install most of Store apps. Rooting would be great as at least it would allow to install .apk files.
New update for this tv soon :
The new Firmware will soon be live.
AND1E_0.9.32.118 (Date published: 2014-11-21)
• HDMI EDID adaptions for Full HD <-> Ultra HD interoperability ( DISCONNECT HDMI cables before starting the upgrade)
• 3D fixes
Maybe we can do something with the update files.....
Should Philips provide the source code of its Android implementation? Are they under the obligation to provide it?

Hi,
I read one comment from Finnish netshop, it's for 55pus8809 model:
1. Install "Developer Tools" from play shop
2. Choose "Developer settings"
3. Switch developer options "on"
4. And "Show more apps in Google Play"
5. Reboot TV
Install "Set orientation" from play to orientation problems, switch "Landscapen" on.
I don't have Philips TV, but planning to buy one
Here is link to source, I don't know how it works...

Lähetetty minun Nexus 5 laitteesta Tapatalkilla
I tried this, and it's true that some more apps are shown. Would be great to load apk files, but there is no "unknown sources" option...
I have the Philips 48PFS8109.
Developer options are enabled, but there is just no way to enable 'unknown sources'.
With the Google Search function the Settings options is not showing (it works on phones if you search settings)
Not a single application is compatible that gives me a shortcut to settings.
If i try to install an .apk file i get the message you need to go to settings and allow it. There is an Settings and Cancel, but if i press on settings nothing happens.
Does someone know a way to call up the settings menu with Therminal Emulator?
I already updated the tv but do you guys think its possible to just add an .apk file in the .upg file?
I can change the .upg to .zip and add an app in the system folder.

Hi,
that sounds good
I had a look into the updater-binary (firmware/manual/ambilight-fix update zip file) and the firmware is, as we already know, encrypted.
When you have a look with IDA Demo (hex-rays.com) you can see that the encryption key is taken from: "/res/keyfile.txt" which must remain somewhere on the TV.
AES-256-CBC is used and the key/IV is somehow, depends on the content of the keyfile.txt, MD5 sum of the content lines (e.g. one for key, one for IV).
O M F G
I was on vacation for two weeks and i don't check this topic and what the hell is going on !
What a surprise for me to see what you do here !
Thanks a lot guys !
-----EDIT-------
The method to allow unknow source and install apk via adb working, thank you !
Tryed to install xbmc/ kodi but the launch and just crash, so bad. But that sound good !
-----EDIT 2------
There is a bluetooth option..... i can't connect my dualshock 3 on the tv because we need root for sixaxis controller app..... let's go to install some emulator !
------EDIT 3------
So... After some test, i was able to connect the duaslhock 3 controller in usb, BUT not all touch is recognised. So i can't play Mario Bros on Retroarch. I think i need another controller.
Kodi v14 lastest nightly boot but crash at home screen.
That's all for the moment !

Someone have try to install a video player that can handle 4K files ?
I have the '48PFS8109/12' and tryed also some things.
- 13.2 Gotham XBMC (kodi) not working, my tv starts the app and after a few seconds the app crashs and the tv volume goes to 60.
- Kodi 14.0 “Helix” – RC 2 not working, my tv starts the app and after a few seconds the app crashs and the tv volume goes to 60.
- Kodi 14.0 “Helix” – Nightly not working, my tv starts the app and after a few seconds the app crashs and the tv volume goes to 60.
I use 'MX Player' with the DTS codec, i don't know if that player can handle 4K, i know that they say KODI can do 4K.
I installed the tablet version but when I try to sign it it says "Browser Links Not Supported." I assume it's trying to load a browser window to finish the login process.
I can use the phone version fine (but you must use a mouse with this version which is crappy).
Anyone successfully able to login and get the tablet version to work on a FireTV?

Have you tried sideliading a browser like Firefox?
Did you get it to work please share
Sent from my XT1254 using XDA Free mobile app
Any luck? Getting the message that it's not supported on the device.
I sideloaded directv tablet v 4.05 but cannot get "authorized". after trying to sign in using the fire sticks pop up keyboard, the next step usually freezes the keyboard onscreen with no way to get it removed to click on the app's login button. have to reset the stick just to get back to normal operation. One time hitting the "next" button on the keyboard took me to the directv website (need a browser because apparently the stick sees the login button as a browser link) but the keyboard continues to stay onscreen making it impossible to navigate from there.
thinking about trying this one?:
http://www.amazon.com/DIRECTV-for-Kindle-Fire/dp/B00HEVAHAQ
It appears the APK is checking the name of the device and is prompting the "version no longer supported" popup.
The same APK works fine in a Bluestacks Android emulator.
Is anyone competent enough to edit the APK to remove the device check?
I'm very interested in buying this phone, but not without google apps like Play, maps, etc. Is anyone planning on doing a rom for the Mate Xs?
Does not work (without Root), no way (Backup or any App). And root is NOT possible without Bootloader-UNlock.
It should be possible using this method.

I managed to get further by more closely following the instructions posted by jutley, unfortunately after installing everything successfully I got stuck at the "This device isn't Play Protect certified" even when registering the gsf id
where you able to make chat partners app work ?

No, using the other method with the backup; the link provided by jutley.
It looks like everything is installed correctly but I'm completely blocked by Play Protect. I've tried factory reset to get a new gsf id and registering that as well but no dice. Seems like the id registering just doesn't work?
This method Works : )

english please
can one help us to how to install Google app shown in Spanish YouTube in details in English.
with needed files.
Thanks.
I can try to summarize the steps I think is needed after trying for a couple of days.
(Disclaimer: I haven't actually tried it from scratch but I'm pretty sure these are the only things needed)
(Start at 10. if you already have it working but want to get rid of the errors.)
First get the files from these videos:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3MfxLUNWJr0
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sEBrOwQP_0o
1. Put the files on a USB stick (Dunno if it is needed, it might be fine to put them on the phone directly)
- (!)The Huawei folder needs to be in the root.
- You'll have 4 important folders, Huawei, Google pack, fix and newfix.
2. Go to Settings/System & updates/Backup & restore/Data backup/External storage/USB storage/17 October 2019 and then press restore.
- Enter the password it asks for (a0000000)
- This will put 2 sketchy apps on your homescreen.
3. Install all apks in the Google pack folder.
4. Run the sketchy app with a purple G and press Activate when it asks you to. Then continue pressing the buttons (really see the video for this) and restart the phone when it fails with the first spinny thing.
- Once restarted you will be spammed with errors, ignore these for now (disable sound, they are super annoying)
5. Revoke the access and uninstall the sketchy apps. It's not needed but I wouldn't leave it enabled for a second longer than I need.
- Go to Settings/Security/More settings/Device administrators and set the G app to inactive.
- Uninstall the G app and the other one as well I assume.
6. Uninstall Google Services Framework.
- Settings/Apps/Apps - search for google and enable Show system processes in the right corner menu.
- I had issues with this on my phone that it would just freeze and restart when I tried it, the solution seemed to be to clear all its data and force stop the proccess until the force stop button stopped being active.
7. Go to the fix folder and install google account manager4.0.3.apk
8. Create your google sync accounts in Settings/Users & accounts/Add an account/Google.
- Follow the instructions as you would for logging in to google.
- (!) Add all the accounts you want to sync now, I can't seem to add them afterwards.
9. Go to the fix folder and install com.google.android.gsf_10-29_minAPI29(nodpi)_apkmirror.com.apk
- Restart and after that everything should work except for a lot of errors everywhere. At this point the fist video tells you to just disable the notifications but it doesn't help for example gmail and you have to do it for every new app you install so it is pretty annoying. The google sync also broke for me after restart.
10. Install the Device ID app from the app store (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=vtechnotm.com.deviceid&hl=en)
11. Uninstall Google Play services - same procedure as 6.
- To verify that you're on the right path the version you just uninstalled should have been version 19.2.75.
12. From the newfix folder install modagain1gsm.apk.
- This is the Google Play services version 19.4.20.
- Make sure the play store still opens, it might show an error but should preferably still show apps.
13. Reinstall Google Services Framework.
- First repeat step 6.
- Install the file in newfix Google Services Framework-com.google.android.gsf-29-v10.apk
14. Start the Device ID app and verify that you don't have any GSF ID.
15. Poke around in the play store until the Device ID shows a GFS ID, see the video.
- This step feels very unscientific and sometimes it took me forever...
- If it doesn't work make sure you have Google Play services version 19.4.20 installed.
- Don't reboot your phone, it should regenerate the ID just by poking around. I got it regenerated when rebooting but then it didn't work after that.
16. You got the ID generated! Uninstall Google Play services and install the file com.google.android.gms2.apk from the newfix folder.
- Verify that Google Play services is now version 20.12.14.
That's it! Everything should work after this.
I'm pretty confident you can skip some steps here, for example you could install Play services 19.4.20 from the newfix folder already at step 3 to avoid having to reinstall once. But I'm also super unsure why all this actually works so I'm scared to change the procedure
Feel free to suggest corrections!
