As I understand it, the Amazon shopping app is only available on the US Android Market.
I'm in the US anyway (I suppose the Nook doesn't know that), but I installed Market Enabler and set it to T-Mobile US (also tried Verizon US).
Force closed the Market and cleared it's cache, but the Amazon app still doesn't show up.
Anybody know what I'm doing wrong?
I don't know if it's because it a B&N device but I could not get it to install from the market, so I had to find the apk and install it that way. It updates normally but getting it on there in the first place meant tracking down that pesky apk.
download appbrain along with fast web installer, you will be able to find and install the official amazon app from there.

I downloaded and installed the APK from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=4268726&postcount=5
Which works, but how do I update it? I'm guessing they're past v1.0.0 by now ...
EDIT: Tried AppBrain, which shows v1.0.6, but won't update when it tries to via the Android Market app: "The requested item could not be found." Fast Web Installer tells me that Google disabled it's ability to function with the latest Market updates.
I did find v1.0.6 is here though: http://reviewhorizon.com/2011/01/ho...or-requested-item-could-not-be-found-message/
Still doesn't help with updates to the app though.
List of system Apps that you can safely remove from NST
http://www.market4android.com/stock-android-2-1-apps-list
I will give you feedback on how this solution worked out for me.
That's a nice list, but it's not really the stock applications that I want to delete.
I want to get rid of the apps that start with "com.bn...", especially the ones that go on the internet for no reason.
Semi-related: where can I find the stock Calendar.apk and CalendarProvider.apk?
1. To stop "useless" wifi traffic install 'AdFree'.
2. System apps are stored in "/system/app/".
User apps are stored in "/data/app/"

Configure it wisely. Sometimes the developers live off advertisements shown in apps.

I installed ver 0.8.44 the latest version I could find but on running it said it was out of date and I needed a newer version - so it would not work.

1. AdFree worked fine on my NST. Try earlier version for example. 0.8.31.
Maybe it tries to update itself via Google Play?
GP kicked AdFree out of their market.
I can't help you any further.
My NST currently flies to the US for its last check under warranty.
2. You can 'Disable B&N Apps' in 'NookManager'.

Try an old CyanogenMod 5 ROM like this one and extract them from the zip /system/app. CM5 roms are gettting a little hard to find these days so hang onto it in case you need other stock Android 2.1 stuff sometime.
Hello people,
These are the latest updated apk's of Huawei preinstalled apps on our devices. I got them when I installed Huawei App Store, so whoever is interested can get them. Just remember that you need Huawei ID (so you can log-in) also.
1. Media app
2. File manager app (cloud included)
3. Huawei ID
Enjoy
Due to size upload limitation, I had to put these last two apk's here:
1. Backup app and
2. Hi Space (Huawei app store)
Cheers
I have a HuaweiID, I registred that at their website.
But when I want to use the Cloud etc, I get a error-message that "this service is not available in your region".
How can I solve this?

With P7, I don't have that kind of problem, but when I used those updates on my G700 apps, I started getting that error!

Same problem here...P7 L00
I checked again and all Huawei apps work fine on my P7.
My G700 is a different story. App Center, Music and Cloud Sync works (meaning I can log in), on File manager and Backup I can't log in (service not available in your region).
This is strange, why some apps will let me log in and some no?
Does anyone have any issues with certain apps from the play store that just crash when opened? Apps like IMDB, google Inbox, Google contacts just crash when they are opened. Why is that? I am running the google now launcher with typical root, play store setup etc.
yes I had an issue downloading facebook messenger app.. it crashed.. I downloaded it for Amazon store and it worked perfectly from there.. I am sadly using 5.1.1.. with Play Store installed via adb..
Inbox is a known problem, was mentioned on threads about installing the play store.
Google contacts works on mine though, though maybe I installed it through gapps.

Yes I used RootJunky's ADB zipfile.. and no I haven't faced an issue where I can't log into Play Store.. are you sure that you updated the play services? you can do that by installing any google app like youtube and run it and it will tell you to update play services.. and make sure you are running that latest version of Play Store which is 6.0.5 at the time I am posting this comment
Meh

Well thats the problem I am having, I can't update services because that runs through the Play store, and I can't log into the play store so I can't update. I am getting the message about the services being outdated but I can't do anything as it just redirects me to the failed play login. I have no idea what version of Play store this is, its just whatever was pushed via the zip file. I am going to do a factory reset and try again.
For the record, did you do this on 5.1.1. or did you do this on 5.0.1 and then update?

I updated via OTA to 5.1.1 then installed play store via adb.. I suggest that you uninstall all the four apps of google that the zip file installed which are Google Play Services.. Google Services Framework.. Google Accounts.. and Google Play Store.. then install them again via the same adb then reboot.. that's what I did actually.. I hope this will help..
Woooot

Wow, not sure why that worked, but uninstalled and pushed via ADB again and wha-la! Now I can at least use this tablet the way I want until someone comes up with a root solution.
Thanks!:highfive:

Someone in another thread told me to try the Amazon app store version of IMDb if I was using the stock rom. I tried it and it works perfectly. I did have to unistall the Google version before the Amazon one would install. It's worth a try with some of the other apps to see if it works for them too.
I'm running Fireos 5.01
Rooted with google play services installed.
I have removed all the bloat suggested and don't intend to use any amazon apps.
In any case, the two problems i have are slightly strange.
1. I can't seem to install any .apk that doesn't come from google play store (I have Dev options opened an unknown sources checked)
2 I Can't add any widgets to my Home screen, when i try the widgets just disappear.
None of these two problems are show stoppers for me and I have all the removed .apks uploaded to mega in case i find i need any of them.
Has anyone else seen this?

To get widgets to work, I had to make my launcher (Apex) a system app. I tried titanium backup first, but it seemed to have trouble doing it. I finally downloaded an app called /system/app mover from Google play store and it worked. I can add widgets now.
Thanks for the information s14sh3r.
Sorry for the late reply
However I already had Titanium backup installed so i thought i would try to see if i have the same problem with TB as you.. sure i did it hang then locked me out of the launcher a reboot brought it back.
So i headed over to the market and picked up system app mover and run that after installing busybox.
Funny thing was, it was already marked as a system app... errr I guess TB almost made it happen any idea's i do have another launcher available also i have a pro copy of Apex so would i need to make the pro key and the widgets app, a system app.
Update
I got it working by getting "system app mover" to move the app back to where is was, I rebooted then i made it a system app once again,
Rebooted and selected "Apex launcher" and Bingo!
I have access to widgets again
Thanks for your help s14sh3r.

Happy to hear you gt it working. One thing I've noticed is I seem to have to reboot more to get thinhs to work. Considering how cheap the tablet is, I can live with that :laugh:
I have a problem with Instagram after I installed latest CyanogenMod rom.
From the Play store it's written: " Your device is not compatible with this version" (it's translated from italian,not really sure if it's 100% right ).
Before I rooted my device in order to install Cyano rom,I had the original firmware with Play store installed and Instagram was not only avaiable but worked smoothly.
Any idea of how to fix it?
BTW...I tried to get back to the original firmware following the related tutorial but there's no way to make the device "visible"to the pc via usb through the embedded recovery mode (quite strange because I can flash without problem TWRP recovery using adb tool by cmd line).
So...I'm in trouble even if I want to get back to the original firmware...any help will be (again) really welcome .
Thanks in advance.
Mostly the advice is the same sideload the app if play store won't let it install.
You can use this to go back to stock http://forum.xda-developers.com/amazon-fire/general/howto-install-fireos-5-1-1-root-gapps-t3265594
If you do go back to 5.0.1 in TWRP by renaming the 5.0.1 bin to end .zip remember to stay offline until you've turned OTA off unless you don't want TWRP any more.
Thanks a lot for your advice...I I'll try it later ?.
Well,finally I fixed it simply downloading the apps in .apk files into the device and installing them directly from it,easier than I thought .
Thanks a lot for helping me.
Greetings,
I have put together a proper tutorial for you all who need it on how to get Google Play Services on the Mate 40 series!
This is confirmed to work on the Chinese versions / the Mate 40 RS Porsche which is a china exclusive device as well. It's possible it could work on International models but I do not have one to test so that will be up to you here. Nonetheless let's begin the tutorial shall we?
Make sure there are no google apps installed prior to this tutorial. This is crucial! This includes Chrome.
Google won't let me share a link to the google apps so look up John Wang on youtube and you should be able to find the GMS install with his download link on the video.
Next: extract the Huawei.zip file in step 1 folder to the root of your internal storage it should ask you to merge with an existing folder please do so. If it does not, just proceed to copy it to the root of the internal storage.
You will then need to go into your system settings, and change your date& Time to say June 1st of 2020, a necessary step to get the LZ Play app (The Blue G) working again.
Once this is done, go to your settings on your Huawei device, where the search bar is, type Backup and select the second option Backup & Restore.
Tap the 3 dots at the top right corner of the screen and select Restore from Internal Storage.
From here, you should have one backup option to select from December 6, 2019 1:09 PM.
Enter the password a12345678
Next, open the LZ Play app installed now from the backup, activate it as administrator, allow anything it asks, and then press the blue button to get it working, leave it run in the background so do not close it.
Now at this point, please set your system date and time back to Set Automatically again.
Next, restart your phone.
Go to your file browser on your Huawei phone, the yellow folder, and install Micro G app in the step 2 folder.
Now, go to your settings, Users& Accounts
Then Add Account
Then Google
Then Sign In (if it closes out do it again)
At this point type in your google account information username and password.
Click on I agree when you get to the end part of adding your google account.
Now install the Google apps under Step 3
Install 3.apk first which is Google Play Store
Install Google Service Framework 7.apk
Install Google Account Manager 6.apk
Open Google Play Store
Uninstall Micro G
Install Google Play Services apk 3.apk
Close out of Google Play Store, re open, and keep hitting retry until the play store loads up. If it does not load up after significant amount of retries, simply reboot device and open Google Play Store again and hit refresh until it loads.
We are almost done! Now we are going to fix the Google Play Protect Not Certified Error next
Put your device into Airplane mode so no data is being used during this step otherwise it won't work!
Open Apps under your settings, and tap the 3 dots, show system processes.
Type Google
Open Google Service Framework, select storage, clear data, then go back one and force stop it
Open Google Play Store, force stop.
Open Google Play Services, just clear cache (NOT DATA)
Restart Phone
Go back to settings and Apps, tap the 3 dots, show system processes.
Type Google
Select Google Play Services. Clear cache. Then Clear All Data under Manage Storage Force stop it.
Restart Phone once more.
Turn off Airplane Mode. / Turn your internet back on
Open Google Play Store and you should be all set, no Not Google Play Certified Error or anything bad. You should be able to use Gmail, Youtube etc. You may not be able to use Google Pay as I have not tested it but believe it does not work.
Any questions or concerns please feel free to reach out.!
Ca you please provide another link for the download..
I am getting this error... seems someone is not happy
We're sorry. You can't access this item because it is in violation of our Terms and Conditions.
Thanks for the guide, I have an international version of the mate 40 which I want to try this with.
When following another guide, I uninstalled the backup app to install another version but it fails and says 'you already have a newer version of this app'. When going to my apps, there's no backup app installed and nothing comes up in HiSearch. When I go to backup and restore in settings, the screen is blank.
I've tried installing other versions of the backup app from my mate 20 but it comes up with the same version message.
Any ideas?
Thanks.
I have downloaded a copy of the downloads from another site.
I have an international version of the Mate 40 Pro (NOH-NX9)
I tried the steps above, some are a bit different like Back/Restore option. I have copied the backup file to the repository on an external USB drive where usually restore files are backed up and its showing when I try to restore it.
It does restore LZ Play app (The Blue G) , but does not load when executing saying (This device is not currently supported).. of course in Chinese language. From there I can't go any further.
I'd love to try an international version, but the file is no longer available: "We're sorry. You can't access this item because it is in violation of our Terms of Service."
Google doesn't like our attempts, please use some independent sharing space.
(wrong entry, I would delete it, sorry)
I have the same phone and the same issues. Would be really hulpfull if there was a fix. I tried all the guides (also the one above) and I'm always stuck on the "blue G" application that won't run properly...
There is no fix.
Wow really google is saying my upload violates terms and conditions? Lame. I know it works for sure on Chinese variants I don't have an International one to test on. Makes me wonder if Huawei is purposely leaving this exploit open on the Chinese models?

At least for me, I didn't have to switch to a different backup app, I just used the one that came with my phone and it worked.
Seems google won't let me upload it for some reason again. Look up John Wang Huawei on youtube, his download should still work.

The Chinese version can be used. The international version cannot be used. I am using the international version. My display is "Google Service Assistant does not support". My friend’s is the Chinese version. They are all available! This is because Huawei faces US sanctions! I don’t want the international version of the mobile phone to be insecure, so the international version has no BUG! There is a Chinese version because it is used in China and no one pays attention to in China phone.

Thx for the info, Huawei really need to prioritise fetching localised Apps (Bank App, Credit card App etc.) to feed App Gallery. I'm holding my trigger of Mate40 Pro until the availability of localised Apps or when GMS side loadable.

you're welcome !Yes! This is
because Huawei cannot use GMS because of US sanctions! So huawei developed himself HMS, so huawei loyal users will feel very bad! sort time no app to use ！This requires a process and more developers join Harmony2.0! There are more mobile apps if the ecology is improved! Don't worry, I believe it will be soon!
As of the latest EMUI it is now impossible to use this method. I'm not sure if it still works prior to the recent firmware update but it completely broke google services for me. So looks like aurora and Amazon app store for me again ugh lol
