Tutorials for Google Apps with working files - Kindle Fire 2 Q&A, Help and Troubleshooting

I've got a Kindle Fire HD 7 2nd gen from 2012, its currently stock. I've found loads of tutorials for installing Google Apps (play store etc), but all of them link to dead dropbox or other links. Does anyone have a guide with actually working links. Please test them before you post because I have tried a LOT of them, many in places like XDA you would think would still be fine.
thanks for reading.

[Q] Q: Set Google Play Market as Default for Kindle FIre (Stock 6.4.1 Rooted)

I know i've done this before, but have lost track of either the thread here or the page I originally found the instructions on some months ago. Can anyone please point me in the right direction as far as how to tell the Kindle Fire to load Google Market when looking for items instead of the Amazon App Store (which always tells me the app is not found? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

WatchDisney Jr App

I saw the other day that the Kindle Fire has a Watch Disney Jr app. I thought it was only available on iOS devices, but apparently not. Would love to have this for my son. Anyone know if the apk can be pulled and installed on any Android device? Did a quick Google search, and didn't come up with anything useful.
Found the app easily enough, though it doesn't seem to wanna load anything useful...meaning I don't think it's just gonna work on any phone.
As far as I know it's a Kindle and Sprint device exclusive.
I will attach the apk anyways, in case anyone else should find it useful for any reason.

Thanks for searching. Apparently I need to brush up on my google search skills!!
Wish the app would just come to android
Thanks for posting an apk, but that isn't the 'official' disney app (I installed and tested).. looks like some 3rd party app which isn't functioning properly. The "Watch Disney Junior" app seems to only be available on kindle fire devices. Here's the link from the amazon app store: http://www.amazon.com/Disney-Junior-Kindle-Tablet-Edition/dp/B00BFX2DI8
If anyone has a rooted kindle and can post the apk, that would be appreciated. Amazon won't let me install it to my nexus 10 from their app store.
Glad there are others interested in getting this app to all Android devices. Would be much appreciated from my son, lol!
watch disney jr kindle edition
People don't realize there is a difference between the Kindle edition apps and other android apps with the same name. The Kindle app let's you stream Disney Channel live and watch individual shows.
google "kindle fire system dump"
download
extract using 7zip
go to /system/app
copy the "kindlewatchdc.apk, kindlewatchxd.apk, kindlewatchjr.apk" to your htc one
move them to /system/app on your htc one (must be rooted)
set permissions
reboot
*note that i have not tried this, just a suggestion
**also, the apks may be named different
Some please post the 3 disney Apk's Watch Disney, Watch Disney XD, Watch Disney Jr. PLEASE!!!

I backed up the Disney channel, Disney XD, and Nickelodeon apps from my daughter's Kindle Fire HD. I tried loading them on my Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 7" but they would not run properly. You could give it a try anyway. PM me and I can send you the links.

Who can get this working on android that would be great. Willing to donate:good: who can make it happen.
Anyone have updates?
It's now available in the Play Store. Requires cable subscription. Enjoy!

Request apk for Viki, Crunchyroll or any apps for Google TV

Hello,
If somebody is kind enough, please post the apk for Crunchyroll and Viki for Google TV or any apps that on the Google TV.
Please don't point me to:
http://apps.evozi.com/apk-downloader/
It does not work since evozi emulated T-Mobile devices to download apk. The Chrome extension does not work either since I don't have a Google TV devices to download from Google Play Store. So, if anybody has Google TV apks or figure out how to download all the apks for Google TV. Once I have all those apks, I will zip them and post it to my dropbox and share it with everyone if possible. Please let me know.
Thank you
EDIT: Link for apk to Crunchyroll, Viki, and Drama Fever from arunningpir8 below
https://www.dropbox.com/s/acilpqm3qbtub8v/gtv_apks.zip
I test all of them out. Viki and Drama Fever works great. Crunchyroll will give you a sideway screen. I recommend you use the normal Crunchyroll app, not the Google TV one.

you can download any free apk by putting the google play url into this website. http://apps.evozi.com/apk-downloader/
Any chance we could get a apk for the SiriusXM GoogleTV app? I cannot download it and it would work so much better than the phone application on the FireTV. I cannot provide a link to the Google PlayStore page as I do not have 10 posts yet. The apk is called com.siriusxm.gtvplayer.

dramafever gtv request
Can someone re-post the most updated version of the dramafevertv apk?
Viki works fine, and so does crunchy roll from the previous posts.
The dramafevertv apk posted from before stopped working about a month ago(November 2014) with the error "can't play this video" for all videos.
Much appreciated.
Sincerely,
Another android lover, who is missing out on some drama time.
Is there a newer version of the Google TV DramaFever app out there than 01.01.09 from about July 2014? I am getting that "can't play video" message on one of my Android sticks but I think it still works on my Revue and Amazon Fire Stick.

By the way, another app you can sideload is Dramania. You can get it from mobi24.net.
Also in the limited Amazon app store on the firestick, there is an app called MBC online that you can install directly.

Just tested on my AFS and the version of DramaFever app I have works. I am pretty sure it still works on the Logitech Revue as well. I also tested it on my old Samsung Fascinate running a 4.22 rom at it plays video.
I did notice that it stopped working on my Favi Smart Stick(running Android 4.04) starting in November. But since it works on some platforms, It doesn't sound like a server problem or change or an encoding issue.
The only thing I can think of is that the DramaFever app is having a problem all of a sudden calling the internal Google movie player app. I tried clearing data and defaults as well.

Thx
I have it side-loaded it on an Android box, it worked great until recently and I hoped there was a newer version out since I e-mailed dramafever with this error "can't play this video" and all they said was "update the apk to the latest version from the playstore". I know they haven't updated it since Sept.10/2013 version "01.00.09" on Gplay.
I guess I will have to wait until the next update whenever that is for a fix since its more of a server-side limitation for now than my client since it loads the pictures and I can login to my account no problem on my box which is weird.
I did try to re-install the apk and logging out of my account to test but to no avail. I also tried clearing the cache and clearing the data in the settings as well but that didn't fix anything either.
Any suggestions appreciated. I'm running Android 4.2.2 on my box.
Regards,
Drama Lover.

Are you having issues running it on a generic android box like me? or on an Amazon Fire TV device?
for some reason, it works on my Amazon Firestick(and other devices) but not on my generic Android stick(which I am trying to figure out as well). Like you, it was working well up to around November 2014.
I am running the same GoogleTV app version 01.00.09 on all devices which I backed up and restored from my Logitech Revue(I know they occasionally change their servers which could break the app and force you to upgrade). I don;t think it;s the app since it works on other devices on the same network. I wonder if an update to a Google service broke it on this device. Maybe something related to the internal movie player app.

I'm having issues on a generic android box like you. I don't have a stick so I can't test.
I'm sure I haven't updated anything on the box since November to android since I don't have gplay on it.
I didn't backup or restore, I directly side-loaded using the apk from a usb stick using an otg cable.
It probably isn't the app, its their servers not allowing access (maybe not allowing lower version android devices? but that shouldn't be it, what version are you running on your non-working android device?)
I don't even have google services on the android device haha, but it worked fine before it broke.
I'm stuck using Viki now which is not half bad, it just doesn't remember which episode I left off like with dramafevertv which is a shame.
Cheers
The version on my favi smartstick is 4.04. Yeah my first idea was they changed servers on the back end. But it still works on the Revue and my AFS. The Revue is running old ICS version 3.2.
The phone tablet version of Viki saves the location. But it has commercials. The Google TV version is better on the TV.

Firestick 2 Won't run without google play services which are not supported by device

I sideloaded a television providers app (Fios Mobile) installed on my device. The app was working perfectly but it just updated and I keep getting the error "Won't run without google play services which are not supported by your device".
I tried reverting back to the previous version but it was a mandatory update, so no dice. I tried sideloading the Google Play store but that did not help.
Is there a workaround for this type of error? The app does not API call any of Google Play Services. It seems like many of the TV apps are dropping support (they encouraged it a few years ago to lower bills) so you buy another Set top box. Other cable apps know you are inserting a device into a HDMI port and disable it from working that way.
I can download each individual TV app and enter my television providers password or mirror from my Android Phone but that would be a huge inconvenience.
Any suggestions? If there an app that will fool my TV app into thinking the play store is installed?
Since every channel pretty much has it's own app now, is there another app that will take its place instead of downloading each channels separate app and entering the password?
Is your firestick rooted? (Sorry, I don't know if they can even be rooted.) If so, there's an Xposed module to allow apps to work without Google Play Services.
Another idea is to get the Fios Mobile app from the Amazon App Store and side load that one onto your Fire TV: https://www.amazon.com/Verizon-Services-Corp-FiOS-Mobile/dp/B00DGVUD9I/
That one may not have any dependencies on Google apps.

Seriously, you are giving me outdated information???? "Fios Mobile won't run unless you update Google Play Services". It would be nice to know where to find updated compatible versions for each. I have looked at several app stores and none seem to work. So please cut that attitude as your five-second search advice did not get me any further than I was before.

I tried two different app stores but not that Amazon one. Crossing fingers!!!! DARN. Just tried it and said incompatible, you can't make purchases from this device. Fios does support Kindle fire but as I suspect, they don't want the app as a box substitute like they used too.
Maybe, someone has an updated version of what Timmy P linked too. Hopefully, they will test the link first before making condescending remarks about checking older posts.

Because when I read that site from the original author it said FTV and FTV stick not 2 dumbass. Then I read the re-post on here claiming FTV 2 from MARCH 2017!! DId you not see where I said everything was working perfectly since September 4th!!!! Technology changes fast little tike. Google also updates and apps do along with it buttercup.
But I assumed someone with such a smug post must be correct but what a surprise you were not cupcake.
Since there is only 1 person who found a fix on the entire internet, it must not be a very easy fix. If it were, he could put it on APK sites for constant updates.
That is why I also asked 1: If there is a workaround. Easy/permanent if possible, so I don't need to worry about this update. Even easier if there is a 3rd party app that would consolidate all the apps and enter my default password for me.
P.S Being smug even when your correct is being an ass, doing so when you are incorrect makes you a stinky diarrhea with **** nuggets still stuck kind of ass.

I was unfamiliar with RiksTV, so I looked for it to learn what it is. I found four versions of RiksTV listed by Aptoide TV. All four versions are dated year 2016. RiksTV version 0.4.3 is marked "beta". The other three versions, 0.5.0, 0.5.2, and 0.5.4, are not marked "beta". I am not sure if this is what you are looking for, but hopefully you will find this information helpful.
