Hi guys, so I recently bought a dasaita px6 max10 for my 10th gen civic. The first app that I installed was pandora but after it was installed the app did not work. I downloaded different launchers but still did not work. I updated to the latest firmware and MCU but didn't resolve the issue either.
same here, pandora wont load, i have tried numerous app versions with no success. it just freezes at the letter P loading screen.
also HBO max loads but when i try to play any show it just goes to a black screen .
What did the reseller suggest or say about it
I found a way to make it work. First, download Aptoide (the px6 is already rooted). Then search pandora in the aptoide appstore and download an older version. For me version 2006.2 works fine. Also, disable auto update apps from the play store and aptoide.

...I had similar issue with apps not launching. I resolved after moving app from sd card where it was installed by default to internal storage.

I am running 4.2.2 smoothrom 1.5 and the kindle store app keeps FC'ing. It's greatly annoying and just started out of nowhere.
I am having this exact same problem with my rooted kindle fire. The Kindle Reader app force closes immediately when you open it! I am going to try to find an older version of the app...

If it works send me the apk it's extremely annoying lol
If you downloaded the apk from Play Store, its a crap version, the latest update broke the app... I installed and downloaded from the Amazon Appstore, they have an older version and it works fine.

LOL I did the same first time, it updated from Google Play by itself!!! Funnily enough the Google Play version works fine on my HTC phone =/
You can probably get the latest version working by using Build.prop Editor to change the 'ro.product.manufacturer' line to Asus, Samsung etc. It seems Amazon is stopping the Play apps from functioning properly on their devices, but when the device manufacturer is changed to something other than Amazon, the latest versions of non-stock Amazon apps work again.

I was wondering if anyone knows of a way to block amazon forcing you to update to latest netflix after upgrading the firmware?
Thanks to rbox I have all the necessary components to keep the file structure/firmware of 51.1.0.2 and be on latest 51.1.4.1, of course new netflix does not work on that, I removed and sideloaded an extracted netflix apk from older firmware for the FTV but amazon has something forcing you to update, it pulls up a message saying required update. Any way around this? I think the state i have my FTV in if I could launch the old netflix it would work, but I can't launch it without the amazon nag.
The reason I need to keep the old netflix is for some reason my FTV's do not play well with the new version at all, many errors/skips/fails to launch/logs me out etc. I tried latest 51.1.4.1 and still same issue. It's odd too cause I bought a new FTV from staples and rooted it and upgraded it before doing anything to 51.1.4.1 with new netflix and it works way better on that unit than any of my other ones. not sure why
Also, the new netflix will not put my FTV to sleep mode automatically after timing out. The old one would allow it to go to sleep mode while new netflix logs out of the user profile but leaves the app open and it sat overnight on netflix, This doesnt work very well for me. Any help/insight is appreciated!

It's two separate apps, so if you leave the new one installed, the old one will still work. Unfortunately it won't show up in the main apps list and you'll have to open it like other sideloaded apps.

Just tried that, it does show up as a seperate as you said, the problem is when I launch it, I get an amazon popup that says "Launch newer Netflix Instead. you have installed a newer version of Netflix. This old version is no longer supported. Please uninstall and launch the new version instead. And two options, uninstall now or uninstall later"
Also looking at manage all apps list now it only shows the old netflix, I think it overwrote the newer version or something.

That's odd. Originally, before I fixed Netflix... I let it update to the new Netflix, I used it and it didn't work, and then I did 'adb install' to install the old one, and went to the apps list and it "just worked". It could be that they've since updated something to prevent that from working... Why not just flash 51.1.3.0?

My other FTV's are on 51.1.3.0 for that reason, I had just flahsed this one with latest 51.1.4.1 in hopes new netflix would work any better than it did on 51.1.4.0, but it seems not much changed (for me). I wanted to keep the new firmware for some of the features, remote on phone, sleep button, prime music and whatever bug fixes etc they've done in the background, also moving forward I don't want to be forever stuck on 51.1.3.0. But it'll have to do for now I guess.
@rbox do you still happen to have the APK you adb installed that showed up seperately? I wonder if it's just my .apk I have

It's the same one you have, it hasn't been chagned in forever. Just pull it off one of your other boxes.
Ok, yep same place I got the one I have. I just re-pulled it and the /data/data folder just to see, same thing.
Thanks for the help/input rbox
I hope this is the right thread for this -
I just updated to the pre-rooted 51.1.4.1_514013920 firmware. The new netflix app won't play anything. I tried uninstalling it, deleting it from the cloud, rebooting, and reinstalling. Still nothing.
Any ideas? I was fine with the old app if someone could point me to the APK. I unforunately don't have any other devices with the old APK.
I appreciate any help.

Nevermind. I ended up wiping and installing 51.1.4.0 because I don't think I ever did that. Then I reinstalled the boot menu and flashed .1 and everything is working.
I'll leave this here just in case anyone else makes the same bonehead mistake. Thanks for the hard work rbox, appreciate the rooted firmware releases.
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
After the latest update of bt sport I sideloaded onto the fire stick but the message saying it requires access Google play services to open. Does anyone else have this issue or a way to get round it? Older versions I put on don't work as it requires it to update
I'm having the exact same issue. Maybe BT have got wise to it and put a block on it.
Has anyone tried adding the Playstore/services framework to see if that fixes anything?
I haven't. How easy is that to do?
Had same problem yesterday with new update.
Followed these instructions and all good again.
Can't post a link, but do a search on AFTVnews for sideloading Google Play. Article dated 16 October 2016 has the guide.

Did you use the resigned apks to avoid the services update and keep the play store working, or use something else to freeze the play services from the unaltered apks? In theory, is one of these methods better for the stick than flashing the open gapps package? The sideload sequence actually seems reversible compared to flash (think I read someone had to do a factory reset in twrp or restore a backup.

Sorry, you've completely lost me there. I just downloaded the zip file, extracted the four files and sideloaded them in the same order. Followed the instructions and all working.
I then got an out of date message for Google services from the BT App (rather than the doesn't support one) and sideloaded a current version.
When sideloading the four unzipped files I had to remove the spaces from the file names.
I followed the instructions from the article and the BT Sport app just gives me a blank screen then it goes back to the main menu. Any ideas?
---------- Post added at 08:44 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:28 PM ----------
So I started the process again this time using the latest Google Services apk. I kept to the order of the files and the app is working again. I did have to try the app a few times but it then loaded fine and I'm back up and running. Thanks for your help!
Hi folks have stumbled across this after also losing BT sport on fire tv due to update, am following the aftv guide as suggested could someone either please post a link to the latest Google Play Services APK they used as this is how I am coming unstuck.... help greatly appreciated!

You only need the first 3 files.
Then install the google play services update i.e. Google Play services 10.5.35 (238-147654167) beta worked for me.
Hi Guys, just received my new Fire Stick the other day (with Alexa voice control) with a view to side loading the BT Sport App as per the instructions at AFTV as well as this post however I've run through uploading and installing all the apk's which was fine but the BT Sport App is still asking for to update Google Play Services, I've even tried with the updated Google Play Services APK which was released on the 7th but to no avail?
I can open the Google Music App ok but just this BT Sport issue is driving me crazy, is it something I've done or is it some sort of block by BT Sport/Google??
Cheers for any help on this!

See my response above. Just search google for the play services file I listed. Worked for me and still working today.
Sent from my LG-LS993 using Tapatalk
Tried that version as well as the newer version that's now on there. Done a factory reset and tried everything from scratch but still the same?
Only thoughts are the BT Sport App I downloaded may have been updated, is there different versions available somewhere?
fix
Hi There, fyi technics:
1. Uninstall btsport, google play services & google play store from fire tv.
2. Install latest google play services, 11.7.30 FROM Apkmirror
3. Install the google play store apk (com.android.vending) that is located in the zipped file in the aftvnews article about installing google play music posted on the 14th october.
4. Sideload latest version of bt sport apk (4.8.0)
5. Get to the point where u get an error when opening google play store (you will see a retry button).
6. OPEN bt sport
7. Crack open a cold one whilst listening to Michael Owen talk manure for two hours.
God speed, may your hammer be mighty
I'm finding the same as Teknics, have tried both 4.8.0 and 4.9.1 with the latest 11.7.30 Beta and it still saying that I need to update google services.
Even tried the google services that was with the play store from AFTV but still no joy...
Edit.
Finally managed to sort it, uninstalled Google play services and then used Downloader on the Fire to get the services app from apkpure, now it works.
Just need to work out how to navigate it now lol
Went and installed the Amazon Appstore and it keeps crashing. Tried to go through and confirm that unknown sources was checked, but the option is nowhere to be found. Gave access to Chrome to install the apk, app shows up, promptly crashes upon launch. Any help would be welcomed. Thanks!
I have the same problem. Seems like it could be an issue related to the new sideloading feature on Android Oreo. Anyway, I found a way around it. Install the latest Amazon Underground APK from a trusted source (I used Android Picks). This app seems to have no problem with Android Oreo or the Galaxy S9 series, and will allow you to install your Amazon apps/games.
