Play store works

[wolfchimneyrock]

Hi guys,

I got play store working following the instructions for HDXposed on the fire hdx tablet here:

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2618158

and installing google services / apps based on these instructions:

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2787813

combined with instructions here on how to set xbmc as the default launcher:

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2786618

and the ability with amber xbmc skin to run android apps from the homescreen (including KFTV Launcher) this is finally shaping up to some goodness.

confirmed working for me, i just followed the instructions in the Second Link posted above only, play store is functioning normally with paid apps showing and installing properly.

Have any of you attempted to install play store apps before?

These instructions did not work for me. Maybe due to previous install attempts.

Even when I clear data and uninstall the apps then re-install, it still has my account name there and I get 'NO CONNECTION - RETRY"

May have to Reset box again.

i had previously installed the store with no luck prior to today. i just installed the apks from the second link above after installing xposed, restarting, and enabling the HDXposed module. The store started right up.

@jljaries42 if you haven't tried already, used titanium backup to uninstall the existing versions then try this method
@nhumber did you already have the first step xposed installed or you skipped it altogether and it's working for you?

Followed instructions to a T.. not a newb here but did not work for me.. perhaps you had allready done something else before doing that? When i launch the play store it never opens.. (well opened for a brief second then goes back to launcher)

Worked for me no problem! Even grabbed a few of my emulators from the play store. Thanks.

Working now

Used Titanium to get rid of old google apps/data

Re-installed google apps.

Most important - enable Xposed module - CHECK THE BOX

Reboot gave me a scare - it displayed the FireTV update screen - Installing new software. But no update occurred.

Even then it had 'NO Connection'

Cleared play store data - Then it worked

I had had Google play store, framework and services etc... Installed before and it had said no connection. When trying to run play store. Before following the instructions above I had uninstalled all of the Google apps through the amazon settings-apps menu except the one that doesn't show (play services?). That one I installed over the old one using adb install -r package name.apk. and it worked. Have you also enabled 3rd party sources with sqlite editing of the settings.db?

I already had everything installed from my previous attempts I just installed the exposed modules and cleared data on the play store

How is everyone getting around everything saying it isn't compatible?

Hi, I'm trying to make this work. I installed everything. Installation seems fine. I launch xposed framework. It sees HDXPosed modele BUT using the FTV remote if I click on it to activate I receive a "This module doesnt provide a user Interface" and the module remains inacttive.
If I try to launch Google Play store is appears for a moment then shuts down. I think it depends by the fact the module is not active.
Since I dont have a keyborad right now, is there a way to activate it manually?

Thanks.

Pino.

I had to use a mouse to click the box to activate the module.. however i am still where you are

Hold down play and select to reboot the firetv after activating the module.

I did the same but still no luck.
Let's hope in some fix/advice.

Ok,
Considering I already had rebooted but I reinstalled using adb install -r all the gapps, rebooted and now it seems to work.
Thank youw and thanks everybody.

This works great! Finally this device is starting to come along! I wasnt able to install the module without a keyboard and then i had to power cycle manually from there to get the changes to take effect.

UPDATE: Play store is missing certain apps like Youtube, poweramp full etc =/.. Maybe build.prop edit can resolve

Does the device go to sleep if it is running xbmc as a launcher?

If you follow the procedure on the xbmc wiki it does in fact go to sleep. It is the method i use.

Also adb after rebooting and trying a few different things... i adb install -r all the apk's again and that seemed to do it.
Not sure why it didnt work the first time.

Sorry but what does the -r parameter do for adb install?
