APK installation - Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'm sorry, because I don't know fireOS. Is it possible to install Google play, or install external apps by means of apk files?
Enviado desde mi Moto G 1st gen.

Yes, you can install apks. I installed ES FileExplorer via the Amazon store and send over some apks from another android phone. Don't forget to enable apps from unknown sources in the settings. AFAIK everything which requires the google services will not work....

Chrome works, but obviously can't login to your google account so no syncing etc, but it's better than the POS that's installed.

Yes, you can sign in manually to chrome
edit: sure that was working, but it is not now

Most Google apps require google framework apk

If you install Google Play, Chrome allows you to sign in easily.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=63086053&postcount=16 shows how I did it. I signed into chrome automagically.

Yeah got the google play services installed etc, just waiting to see if they update and work correctly. Chrome's logged in just fine though

If you want, you can install a lot of apps ,
1/ you must just write on google " the name of the app .apk"
2/Dowload the apk
3/Clik on the apk
4/and you can install if you set " unknow sources on the setting"
Enjoy ! for exemple thanks this method I installed tapatalk

[Q] Installing ONLY Google Play (or replacing)

Hi there.
I recentely re-flashed a CM7.2 official.
I want to get the cleanest device. I don't want any crap on. NO CRAP policy!
So, I wanted to roll without Google apps. No Google Play, no Gmail, no nothing.
Using the email.apk for mails, Opera as a browser, and only games and performance tool.
It works cool and extremely fast.
Only one issue:
Opera can't download new apps from Google Play (play.google.com).
Does anybody knows how can I download ONLY google play? Or some way to download apps from the store without downloading the full google apps?

Download the gapps package (but don't even put it in sdcard), open with a archive manager (WinRAR, WinZIP, 7zip etc) and extract Market.apk or similar (only the market), put that .APK in sdcard and install it from the phone (or you can download lastest market searching in the forums, but Market included in gapps for GB works fine anyway).
If you want to update (remember, the version you have installed is Android Market, not Google Play), just search market-updater.apk (or similar) in the package and push it via adb (I don't think it will install directly) to /system/app directory in your phone, and then reboot. Then, open the market and it will prompt to replace the Android Market (or after closing and opening again) for the Google Play store. The Market will not update itself without the market-updater.
Thanks a lot for the quick and informative relpy!
I do have a question though - From past experience, if I disable proccess like google-framework and such that contains the login information, the google play will not function at all. The login is bound to a different application, and I do not want to install these.
Is it possible by any means to download directly through a browser?

I think there is a add-on from Google Chrome that let download APKs directly to your computer, but if you meant to install via other ways in your phone, I really don't know because Opera (and others APK) require Google Play Store installed, and Play Store needs a Google Account to link all apps (free and paid) to your account.
Well obviously I understand I need a google account. What I mean is, I want to be able to log in to Google from my Opera and download apps from play.google.com. Right now it works up to the point of the popping-up download screen to verify my device, than I click download and nothing happens.
Newsflash:
I decided to give up and partially install market like you said. Got a new vendor.apk and installed it, obviously when I ran it just closed saying that I need a to sign in on my google account but since I had no google framework it didn't even offer to let me log in.
Installed google framwork too, now it gives me the sign-in screen and after I enter username/password it simply can't establish connection to the server.
Yes, I have checked and I have both a valid wifi and a 3g connection.
Any suggestions?
Edit:
Got it to work eventually, I hope it will serve my uses right.
Edit2:
I was optimictic too early
Now whenever I try to download anything with the Google Play Store it shuts down unexpectedly and does this until I manually enter the Google App info page and delete additional user data,
Edit:

Egozy, the way I get rid of the crap is - flash the full gapps and then delete the apps I don't need (Email, browser, gallery3D and what not). BUT, there are apps that you can't delete and are related to the functioning of other apps.
What you can delete from CyanogenMod is covered in CyanogenMod Wiki - Barebones

Certain apps don't work from google play?

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.

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.

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.

Can't log out of google account

I setup a fire tablet for a friend by rooting it, and adding google play. Tested the system, and various apps by logging into my personal google account via play. Everything works great, except that I can't figure out a way to log out of my google account on the device before giving it back to my friend.
The issue seems to be that the amazon system doesn't have an "accounts" or "accounts & sync" settings menu like most android devices, where you can remove/delete accounts.
I was able to change my google password, and then wipe the data from the various apps to prevent the device from syncing any further but the issue is that my account is still listed in play/gmail/etc, and there is a 'sign in' notification that won't go away.
Anyone have any thoughts on a work around to fully remove my google account from the device?
Would clearing data for the Google Play services apps do it?
Do you have a google settings app, looks like a cog?
If so, sign in and security, devices and notifications, loads a web page, on recently used devices click review devices, select the Fire, Press remove?
Come to think of it I think you can load the web page on pc if don't have the app, try logging in at
https://myaccount.google.com/u/1/security#activity
On the left select - Device activity & notifications, scroll down and select review devices, select the Fire and press Remove.
Looks like it should do the trick.

I did this as well. It effectively does the same thing as changing your google password. It does not remove the account from the device. It still shows up in all the google programs, and prompts a permanent notification that the account requires attention. I think this process is intended to prompt a device to re-sign in to google without changing the password itself.

I setup one for my Mother-In-Law this weekend and I was able to add an new account and then remove the old one. I think gapps require an account to function so there has to be an account but once a second is added the first can be removed.

Do you remember how you removed the 2nd account? I have 2 accounts on the device, yet still can't find an option to remove one other than a link to "manage accounts" which then takes me to the main amazon settings menu which has no account management for google.

If you are on the stock rom like the OP you can't access the menu pjs mentions, the one you can get to via "google settings", "account preferences", "delete your account or services" would do what you fear above.

OK, it sounds like my original post was correct for rooted stock so I'll try to reconstruct it, if not for you, then for others who might need it.
There's no simple way to remove a google account. Basically, you have to delete gapps, either manually or by factory reset, and reinstall.
(EDIT: Reinstalling over current Gapps - Didn't think to mention this as an option because when I installed new Gapps over old I had major problems with google apps crashing and had to factory reset anyway. That was over a year ago with earlier Gapps version, though. Maybe it could magically work now?)
Factory Reset: I think this is easiest. Do the reset and then install Gapps again. Your apps and data will be deleted, but root survives. If you flashed the SuperSU zip, the app installed to /system so you won't have to reinstall it. Same with your launcher if you moved that to /system. (If you didn't flash SuperSU zip, you'll need to reinstall the app after resetting.)
Disable your launcher and enable the Fire launcher before resetting. The state of system apps disabled/enabled with the "adb shell pm" command doesn't change with the reset. (I've confirmed this several times with gatesjunior's Debloater tool. Still, I always keep wifi off during a reset and disable OTA again afterwards.)
Manually: You must uninstall (at least) play store, play services, gmail, google accounts and google setup. Use Titanium Backup to search for all things "google" and see if there's anything else that sounds account-related. Make a list of what you're getting rid of, back them up and uninstall. Then get new apks from some place like apkMirror.
This worked perfect:

Not sure. I wrote this for rooted stock. Guess it depends on how you installed it and whether or not you can get to any core components. Maybe someone else will have an idea.

[GUIDE] [WITHOUT USB-C ADAPTER] P40 & P40 PRO - Google Services Installation

Hello,
I wanted to show you my own approach to make it work 100%.
*This GUIDE was written for a German forum so the video will be spoken in German but you can just follow what I do in the video.
*You only have to install the Device APK in the included folder if you can't install it via Playstore.
After you have installed all the Google services, I recommend to use PHONE-Clone to transfer your data. I used all data, including Google APPS and in the end it looks like you only changed your Smartphone
Before we start, I want to make it clear that everyone should decide for themselves whether to follow this guide, we all know that foreign software is not so popular, but that's the way it is in the hobby developer corner
If you are afraid that your data will be sucked up then do it, it is not that easy so please refrain from these comments! This GUIDE is specially made for people who want to install the Google Play Services.
The following apps are currently not working with it:
Google Pay
Google Music
Google YouTube Music
Google News
Google service for push messages (how disadvantageous this is remains to be seen)
What do you need for this GUIDE?
-USB C cable
-A PC or Notebook
-20 minutes of your life
Installation Package] (if you don't have the possibility to install device ID from the Playstore you can find the APK in my installation's folder but please try before via Playstore )
LINK: P40 & P40 PER GUIDE
The video is currently in German but you could just copy what I do

So what happens when an OTA update arrives? Do you have to install all again? Do apps stop working?

This has not been checked yet. I had installed all updates before and only then installed the services on it. If an update should activate the push notifications again, you only have to repeat the last steps:
Clear the framework data and cache and see if it works.
If not then delete play services and uninstall framework and install it again. This should work then
have followed these steps i believe correctly however when i try to sign into google i am getting a message saying ' a problem occured while communicating with google servers'

Don't make it complicated. The proccess are quite simple:
1. We need only 2 gms files: gms1 as the link I sent above, gms2 is the latest right version for your phone ( should choose no dpi, armv8 x64 and Android 10: 120400 variant )
2. After activated Play Service you get the errors, remove gms2, install gms1 then reboot.
3. Open Play Store, download some apps, first app should be a heavy app. When they start the download progress, clear GSF(GG Service Framework) data then back to Play Store and continue to download the rest apps for some mins. After this you will get error free.
Reboot the phone, remove gms1, reinstall gms2 and Done
As you said, now remove gms1, install gms2, reboot and do it again from no2 above.
can you make a new post with the newest update, so people won't conflict with other progress. I've done so many steps and no of it works>>

Any solution to sign in google problem? This is a big big problem now :crying:

Someone on youtube have solved in this way:
1. Clear cache and data of google account manager from Settings>Apps.
2. Uninstall google account manager.
3. Download GAM 4.4.4 from apkmirror and install
4. Add google account as shown. When it prompts for credentials press 3 button shortcut on upper left corner and sign in through browser
5. Enter account name and password. It then returns to google account manager again but this time the name is already there!
6. Enter account password again and voila!

Accidentally deleted Google play services and other core apps

I was debloating my snapdragon variant of the s20 fe and I accidentally removed Google play services and other core packages associated with it.
I ended up downloading and installing the apk for Google play services, but now whenever I open Google maps or other apps that depend on Google play services I get "Google play services has stopped working".
Are there any other dependencies that Google play services requires to run?
Help would be greatly appreciated!
Please let me know if you need more details.
Did you get play services from app store? To replace deleted app

My suggestion is to factory reset the phone.
What about trying to install OpenGapps? Worth a shot maybe, else factory reset
The Open GApps Project
