I am in China since yesterday and none of the Google websites including the Google Play Store works. I was expecting them to be slow but not completely banned.
So now I can't even install other apps than Googles'.
Is there an alternative Play store with all android apps in it that I can install?
Or is there an android rom for my i9000 available that anyone knows of that includes a different app store. So a rom without Gapps but with different app store and none of the Google apps.
Really hope you guys can help! Don't want to abandon my trusted i9000 just yet.
You could use the amazon app store, I don't know if it works in China, but, you could always try
It should work according to google
So I have one of the $49 Kindle Fires and I have successfully installed Google Play, Play Services, Account Managements, and Services Framework and gotten everything to work. One of the games my kids enjoy playing is Disney Crossy Road. I know this is in the Amazon App Store, but one of the issues with it being in Amazon is they don't save progress, plus I use my account across my kids devices. If I make each kid a Google account, they have their own cloud save for the game. I got this all working on my daughter's Fire and it syncs with her Google Play account.
We just recently purchased my son one of the $49 Kindle Fires and I tried to do the same thing for him. I used Method #2 found here: lifehacker[dot]com/how-to-get-google-play-on-a-kindle-fire-and-install-any-1790706649 to install Google Play on his Kindle. I have installed 4 games from Google Play on his Kindle including Tiny Tower, Township, and Disney Crossy Road. I have the settings to allow non-Amazon apps to run. Tiny Tower and Township sync up with his Google Play account with no problem. But his Disney Crossy Road does not sync with Google Play. Google Play says it is installed and I can click the Play button from it and it will open the app, but none of the achievements pop, and when I open it on my daughter's Kindle, in the settings, there is a button with the gamepad icon to show it's synced. I cannot get this icon to show on my son's Fire. I have reinstalled the app 4-5 times and rebooted the tablet. I even tried downloading the app from apkmirror.com to see if that would help, but I cannot get it to work.
Are there any suggestions on how I can get Disney Crossy Road to sync with Google Play? Thanks for your help!
"Google Play" is a whole suite of different apps, not all of which are installed by default when you sideload the "Google Play Store".
Open up the Google Play Store, and search for "Google Play Games". Install that, and see if your games start syncing then?

If you can't install Google Play Games from the Play Store (-505 error) grab a copy from APKMirror and sideload.

Wow, I swore I responded yesterday but I also have Google Play Games installed. I am able to see his achievements for other games through this, that is how I know his other games are syncing properly. Any other ideas?

Not at the individual app level - sorry.
So I was playing around with this a little more and went into the Google Settings app. Inside here, there is a link for the Connected Apps section and I noticed Disney Crossy Road is not here. Any ideas if there is a way through here that I can try to enable the connection?
Thanks again!

The app must request access (typically on initial launch)...and you must grant it. There is no mechanism for auto-authorization or forcing a manual request (obvious acuity implications).
So I got it to work last night! I don't know which of the two things did it, but I reinstalled the app again but this time in game, I set his age to 18. Then from Google Play, I said I wanted to record in game footage. After playing the intro level, it synced with Google Play. For my daughter's Fire,I put her actual age and it worked. That's why I'm not sure which change fixed it, but now it works! Thanks for your help and suggestions!
Hi
I have successfully added Google Play Store to my Fire HD 8 (2022) and downloaded Youtube Kids. Of course part of this included installing Google Account Manager, Google Services Framework and Google Play Services. However when I attempt to launch Youtube Kids I get the following error:
"YouTube Kids won't run without Google Play services, which are missing from your device"
It goes without saying Google Play services is installed on my device. I tried clearing the data and cache and also updating it still no joy. Normal Youtube app works fine and so does Google Chrome, its just Youtube Kids that is not working.
It's worth noting this Fire HD 8 (2022) is running Fire OS 8.3.1.3. I have another Fire HD 8 (2020) which is running Fire OS 7 and Youtube Kids works fine. Could it be that the new OS is not compatible?
Please Help my kids are driving me mad!
Much appreciated!

Better do fa factory reset first.

Thanks for your reply but I have done this already in that I have successfully installed google play store and even downloaded Youtube Kids, its just that when I try to launch Youtube Kids it doesn't work. Instead I get the error "YouTube Kids won't run without Google Play services, which are missing from your device" although I have installed google play services as can be seen in the screenshot which shows my installed apps.

Those downloads no longer exist. New links?
Same problem, all other apps work, except for Youtube and Youtube kids.
When I go to install the Youtube kids apk, it says "Not available in your region".
Fixed, worked when I sideloaded the APK.. was downloading directly on Fire Tablet.
While the APK does indeed work every morning I get the same error again so i have to uninstall it and re install the apk every morning, so another fix would be amazing too while this one kinda works
I just spent 3 hours trying to get Youtube Kids working.
I really didn't want to install a dodgy modified APK, which could essentially have anything included.
Here's the solution:
- Uninstall any existing version of Youtube Kids
- Download and install YT Kids 6.37.5 from apkmirror (trusted source for original APK files)
- Open Play Store, search for YT Kids, disable automatic updates for this app, by clicking the 3 dots at the top right
This is the latest version I could find, which works on the HD 8, 12th Gen, without giving a play services error.
Because this is the legit original APK from Google, it will actually log you in, giving you access to history and other features.
Don't forget the final step, otherwise it will automatically update to a newer version which doesn't work!
(Testing as working - versions 6.16 and 6.24.3 and 6.37.5)

This still didn't work for me. Also, I didn't have a disable updates button. Instead, mine showed a check box for enable auto updates which was already unchecked by default. Any chance you could link each APK you downloaded for all of the Google stuff? I'm wondering if I clicked a wrong version somewhere.

I used the links provided above by engage4
Because I was also worried that maybe the Google files I used from another tutorial wouldn't be compatible.
The only other thing I did is to install regular YouTube from the play store, open that and select my Google account.
I did that before opening YouTube Kids.
I don't know if it makes a difference.

Thank you very much. Had the same problem and with this method it is working.
Hopefully it will work in the future also with the newer versions.

I just want to confirm that this method works on the HD 8 12th Gen.
I used disabled wifi, Fire Toolbox to debloat, add custom launcher, install google services. I made sure that google play auto-updates was OFF. I then SIDELOADED via Toolbox the 6.37.5 version. I then enabled wifi, opened Google play and pressed three dots to disable auto updates. Signed in. Searched YT kids, again made sure it wouldn't auto-update by pressing 3 dots top right (DO NOT PRESS UPDATE). I then installed regular youtube, loaded it up and signed in. From within regular Youtube I clicked on my profile icon top right, scrolled down and pressed YouTube Kids (I don't think this is necessary, but since that's what I did and it worked I'll note it here).
Finally it works! Basically you can't have 'child profiles' and all that jazz, but you can declutter and restrict a fair amount and hide the browsers etc.

I'm using huawei mate 30 pro 5g emui 11
I have use google apps on it for a year, but these days it began to pop up play protect certified error and prevent me from using google apps (like google map)
I follow this instruction and https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...o-rolling-back-to-emui-test-feb-2023.4331937/ to re-install or fix google services, but it only works for 1 day. The next day "the device isn't play protect certified" error shows again (I had fixed it for 3 days).
Currently, after following these instructions, google play and apps runs normally. but checking play store - my avatar - setting - about and scrolling to the end, it displays "play protect certification device is not certified", and google apps will not run tomorrow.
do you have any ideas for it?

I think it's happened due to play service update, you can't update the play service after the install.
yesterday i followed this video
and turned off network during processes. it works for me now and play store does not show play protect certification row in setting
