YouTube App Works on KFHD

I sideloaded the YouTube app off my Nexus 7 onto my Kindle Fire HD, and it works great...you just can't sign in.

Google Chrome works as well. Again, you can't sign in.

I can confirm this. I just sideloaded the Youtube app and it works fine (no sign in though).

Will there ever be a version where you can sign in?

Eventually. Once we can find a way to toss the gapps into the /system/app folder with the correct permissions, we will be able to sign in, as well as get other Google apps to work.

yes, it works on my Kindle Fire HD too, though I got a free YT downlaoder from aneesoft, since YouTube works nice on KFHD, there is no need to do downloading~

I did not use GoogleServicesFramework.apk and have rather used a GoogleLoginServices.apk (Google Account Manager) that I got from somewhere in this forum.
I have got Gmail, You Tube, Current and Maps (no sign in, no location) working. I will be posting the necessary files shortly.

I'm not rooted so I don't think I can use the apk file on the link previously provided on xda.
Anyone have another apk file I could try?

Youtube app stopped working - user error
Hi, sometime in the last few days, I'm not sure exactly when, my youtube app stopped working. It appears to sign into my account but when I tap on any of my uploaded videos I ge a menu offering 'Edit' and 'Delete' I cannot play. Similarly when I select any favourites I get a menu offering 'unfavourite'
I can play any videos I search for but nothing from my own account works.
Anyone else see the same behaviour?

Google Apps without rooting

I have got YouTube, Gmail, Currents and Google Maps working in the Kindle Fire HD without rooting. However Google Maps is not able to get the location from Wifi and is not able to sign in using the following process. I was unable to get GTalk (also attached) to work so far. The following process does not use GoogleServicesFramework as was used in the Gingerbread version of Kindle Fire.
I have modded the apps with high resolution 256x256 icons for display in Kindle Fire Carousel using the following guide.

When I first got my fire I side loaded Gtalk after installing GoogleServicesFramework and it worked fine. I just installed the GoogleLoginService.apk and was able to log in to Youtube just fine but that does seem to have broken Gtalk for me. The gtalk .apk I was using just hangs while trying to sign me in. The one you provided immediately force closes when I try to open it. It seems to be trying to log me in as "@youtube.com" as opposed to "@gmail.com". I have been able to get it to let me sign incorrectly with gmail/drive/youtube but I don't get a chance to choose my log in as gtalk tries to start right up. That is weird that is was working before and now it's not. Any ideas?
Update: Using a google maps .apk I had as opposed to the one you included I was able to get maps up and running flawlessly as well as Navigation with turn by turn. I was also able to get Google Drive working as well. Here is the maps .apk I used:https://www.dropbox.com/s/lh5a4h9i6ex3nhv/com.google.android.apps.maps-1.apk

Thanks for the maps apk, I will try it out. Well, multiple google/drive/youtube login thing never happened for me. Are you having both of these files - Gingerbread version of GoogleServicesFramework.apk and ICS version of GoogleLoginService.apk in the system? It could cause a problem. Otherwise doing a Clear Data on the GoogleLoginService (Google Account Manager) may clean up those ids.

drive
I can't get drive to.work. keeps telling me that drive has stopped. I installed it from 1mobile and app brain. Any suggestions?

I'm still having trouble with Drive. Youtube works, maps work, currents work, and so does Google books. I would really like Drive.to work as well.
Here's what it does. I have the Google accounts all installed but not the framework. When I had the framework installed quite a few programs stopped working. Now when I install drive, about 2 seconds later I get a message that drive has stopped. Then I go to the home screen and then get another drive has stopped message. If I try running it, a few times it looks like it is doing something, but I end up with the same.message. sometimes when I true running it I just get the message.
Yes, I've shut down several times. Any advice is appreciated.

I had some apps working using only the OP instructions; that is I wasn't running the framework at all. When I loaded the framework (then rebooted) so I could run the rest, most previously working apps stopped working. I found that if I reinstalled (no need to uninstall) those apps via ES file explorer (it has supervisor permissions) they immediately started working. I did root last night, but have not messed with the system folder to load Play as there is no backup yet. Not sure root is needed though, nor if supervisor permissions is an issue. Every app works great now. Only weirdness is Maps shows my position about 500 yards off target, while mapQuest is spot on. No biggie, just strange.
Thanks to the OP and others for getting us this far.

Well, this might be the Gingerbread version of Talk. The ICS versions I have are all > 2MB. The Gingerbread GoogleServicesFramework - Gingerbread Talk combination works fine in the ICS Kindle Fire HD but it messes up other Google Apps. Also I am unable to install any ICS version of GoogleServicesFramework yet. And the ICS version of Talk is unable to login without the Framework.

4.0.3 GoogleServicesFramework and Gtalk app from my EVO 3D. Both are running on my ROOTED kindle fire HD, no problems with google maps, play store or youtubeHD. However Gtalk does not seem to be supporting the front facing camera and causes the app to crash if you or someone else tries to connect via camera. Still trying to get gmail to function correctly, it will not push emails.
I seem to still be running into issues with Gtalk logging out while the device is in sleep mode.

working sideloads: k9mail chrome firefox ES file/task, and more. kindle reader broken

I downloaded the fdroid apk and did adb install; fdroid runs fine. I was hoping to use it to do most of my sideloading, but the firetv has "unknown apps" disabled, and for now there's no way to change that.
so everything else below, I just went to the respective developer website and got apks and then adb install.
k9mail works great, the only issue was first launch - the screen has 2 buttons at the bottom "import settings" and "next" - the 2 buttons don't show up (i.e. the text is invisible) until you scroll down on the remote (then the button text shows up) - but after getting past that I loaded up my usual settings.k9s that I had copied from my phone, and all was well.
es file manager we all probably know pretty well. although this was the first time I noticed the "remote manager" tool, which is nothing more than an ftp server. but that's nice to remotely mess with the filesystem without having to use adb.
es task manager also works as expected.
connectbot loads, but as soon as you try a connection it dies. haven't looked at logcat yet.
jackpal android terminal works normally.
EDIT:
side loaded chrome 34.0 (.1847.114) works perfectly aside from the 1st time you run it.
(the first time, the license agreement chucks the app sideways into portrait mode. if you can manage to click the large blue button, quit, and restart, it will be back in normal/usable landscape mode. there is a checkbox above the large blue button - leave it unchecked, it's not related to the license agreement, it's about ads or agreeing to receive advertisement emails or something)
side loaded firefox beta 29.0, works perfectly.

This might seem like a crazy question, but is the Amazon App Store app on there or can you sideload it? Mine is in the mail and was trying to think of things to do with it before it gets here.

It already has a very fragmented amazon store built into the launcher. I tried installing the official, but the install failed because it already exists.

it's not a crazy question - a lot of this stuff is still unclear.
the app store is there, more or less - just go into the app section of the UI, and you have your installed apps and also the available apps.
or you can do it through amazon website, here's all firetv-"compatible" apps:
http://www.amazon.com/b?node=7031433011
the sad part is, it's only about 10% of what the app store offers for e.g. kindle hardware or generic android.
if you skim through the free apps for generic android on the website, you can add all sorts of useful things. once you add it, the app page tells you which of your devices it's compatible with. anything in the amazon app store that is not included in the above link is "not compatible" with firetv.
it's kinda sorta really stupid. trying to sideload the app store app isn't going to help, either - because it will still be able to ID the device as a firetv, and it will make the same restrictions. add something free like history channel or es file explorer, and it will show up here:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/mas/your-account/myapps
but they will still never show up on your fire tv, because "not compatible" (uh huh.)
(plus, I would worry about the chance of sideloading an amazon app such as the appstore, could mess up the underlying amazon-framework. probably unlikely, but...?
this is also why I have held off sideloading the kindle software reader app.
hopefully amazon will get with expanding available apps soon, it is still early days. BUT CMON NO KINDLE READER APP WTF SPAMAZON. jeez.)

xda app works. Also got google play music to load but couldn't log in to my account.
Sent from my AFTB using XDA HD

other random notes -
I decided to try sideloading com.amazon.kindle.apk (ganked from google play store) for the heck of it, after all.
interesting part: it does seem to have some knowledge of the underlying amazon framework - doesn't ask me for ID/pass, it already knows the device is registered to amazon.
stupid annoying useless part: none of my books show up, no matter what I do.
maybe getting the apk from amazon app store rather than from google might make a difference. I dnno.

I just ran it from settings->apps. it's not really a permanent switch. I haven't tried open launcher, so can't offer much help sorry.
what I got was standard nova desktop, with no notification bar (even though by default it's enabled), and with the app tray on the right.
at that point, if you press the menu/context button on the remote, you get a list of options including nova settings and android settings (which as mention, only kicks you back to the amazon settings) wallpaper and stuff.
if you go into the app list, all you see is all your sideloaded apps. no way to get to actual amazon tv/video/games/apps, without jumping back to the amazon launcher. and then you have to run settings->apps->nova again, if you want the nova desktop again. (or simply alt-tab, if you have a keyboard connected)
and you will also see an icon for the "amazon video" app, but nothing actually happens if you try to run that one. (I'm guessing it's not exactly an app as much as it is part of the framework, or some kind of helper etc.)
I don't really recall seeing any "complete action using" dialogs like I would see occasionally on OUYA, but then I didn't play around enough to see if it was possible to make the launcher more permanent or stick better. but when I ran a sideloaded app from nova desktop, and then quit (e.g. xbmc) it would exit to nova rather than to amazon.

ahhhhhhh ok I see. just now tried open launcher for myself - ok so it won't let you run the launcher without making the switch in settings. and we have no way to get to those settings. and the 'home' button the dialog box is talking about, is a very different thing from the home button on the amazon remote.
that's really too bad, it looks like a pretty nice launcher.

yeah, I tried to find a way, but I don't think it's possible with the stock rom, since it lacks so many settings normally found in android. There aren't too many launchers meant for GTV type boxes, and that one seems pretty since.

I could only see one 3000k channel on the default server - turbosport tv.
at first it was jerky because it kept running out of buffer. (even 1500k channels did too)
but then I paused and waited until the buffer went up to 100.
after that, I have been watching the 3000k football for about 5-10 minutes so far, and not a single hiccup.
really nice hd picture, and there is no corruption, no artifacts, no weird/unsettling motion/blur.
EDIT:
oh, it definitely made the firetv warmer than usual. but it is not hot in any sense.
with normal use (xbmc, Prime TV) mine is either room temperature, or a little bit warm in the one corner where the cpu/soc is.
with this program, the entire heatsink is moderately warm.

I loaded Settings.apk and Launcher2.apk
the launcher only crashes, so don't bother.
the settings, a lot of them crash as mentioned in the article.
but so far I have a bluetooth speaker paired, connected, and WORKING - sound is coming out the BT speaker and not my TV.
even fired up PrimeTV and sound was as normal, only it was the BT speaker.
xbmc? darn right the sound is coming perfectly out of the BT speaker.
now I turned off the BT speaker, and sound is coming out the TV again. seamless as it should be.
turned the speaker back on, and it autoconnected, all fireTV audio is back on the BT speaker again.

I am able to load many of the apps mentioned, but most of them go beyond the screen. Is there any way to calibrate the video?

WWE Network

I saw that WWE Network App came out for the Amazon Fire TV, has anyone attempted to sideload that apk to the ouya?
Looks like its tied to the amazon app store app, it wont launch unless you have the amazon app store installed.
UPDATED Got it to work outside of the fire tv:
Modified the apk to work on other android devices. i belive it only works on 4.2 and above (Sorry Ouya stock people)
*Updated with 1.0.1 Version*
Download Here
Hope this isnt against any forum rules. the application is free and wont work unless the person pays for WWE Network Subscription. Which i DO

I know this post is from 100 years ago, I'm trying to remove the amazon dependency from the APK but I'm having trouble figuring out how to remove the "check". Can you tell me what you changed in the APK so it will run without the Amazon app store being installed?
Edit: NVM, I got it.

Any chance you could post your edited version? I have been trying to find this for so long.

It would login and then never actually play the video. I ended up exporting the apk from my fire stick and side loading it to my android box. I also had to install the Amazon underground app in order for the apk to work.

[Q] Does anyone have Xfinity TV Go working?

I am really trying to get Xfinity TV Go to work on my NP. I have tried the one from the play store as well as the Leanback Launcher one that is out there. All of them crash and say "Unfortunatley, TV Go has stopped" when I try and play a video or watch a live stream. I tried an older version of the app last night and it loaded video, just no sound. Does anyone have any success with this? I know others have said theirs work.

I've got Comcast so I can try this out, but it will be later tonight or tomorrow before I'll have time to play around with it.

Thanks! Just let me know. I am very frustrated with it since ESPN works flawlessly for me.

I have the same problem as you, the app sideloads and opens just fine, but when I go to play any video it crashes back to its home screen.

Any luck getting xFintity GO to work on the Nexus Player?

I did notice an update is available but i haven't tried it yet

I managed to get a version to work. I had to extract the apk (unzip), remove the lib/x86 folder, re-zip, and sign.
Since when you sign, it will be with a different key, you will have to uninstall the current installed version first.
Either use adb uninstall com.xfinity.playnow
or, if you have root and want to keep the data, adb root; adb shell pm uninstall -k com.xfinity.playnow
Then install this:

I am going to try this when I get home. So can I not just uninstall the current xfinity tv go the normal way and install yours?

I tested out the app last night and it works! You are a genius! I did notice that the 3 dot menu does not work, so you can't watch live channels or search for anything that is not on the main menu. Android broke that functionality in 5.1. I then downgraded to 5.0 and it worked perfectly. I did not root my NP and when I woke up it had updated to 5.1.1. I may have to downgrade again and root so it does not change.
My question for you. Do you know a way to use the 3 dot menu in 5.1.1 in general? BC it wrecked tons of apps we sideloaded. Also, since you are good at altering an app, would it be easy to alter the xfinity app to allow the 3 dot menu?

Can you edit the androidmanifest and make the app open to "networks" instead of featured? Or any other section in the context menu?

OMG it works!!! Ive been waiting for this day for months!
The MENU doesnt fully work yet like previous posts saying but there's hope

does it work well with the remote or do u have to use a mouse

Mirror??
Looks like Filedropper took it down...

Here's a zip file which contains a copy of the working APK that ruZZ.il originally provided.

Mouse is required

I didn't try remote. But controller (gamepad) doesn't work at all.
The mouse is required to navigate through the app on Nexus Player - login and navigation.
And yes - no way to open menu or so ever. Basically you will be stuck on first 'Feature' page only.
In my case it was 'Must see', 'Thu Night TV' and 'Wed Night TV'.
Tried to play one of the available episodes - works perfectly fine.

Any thoughts on why this wouldn't work on Android X86? They are both Intel.

Got Live TV Working!
So I modified the apk and told it to launch to the live TV page instead of featured videos. APK Attached.

i have the regular Xfinity TV Go app working. With live tv and recorded shows. I get the full app menu. I'm running android 5.02 still on my ADT-1

The modified APKs in this thread do work on the Nexus Player which is an x86 device. Are you trying to use it on something else like a tablet?

Nice work. Was it easy or difficult to make the changes needed for this?

The ADT-1 uses a Tegra 4 SoC so it's an ARM device. If you update the operating system to Android 5.1 or higher, then some of your apps will lose the hamburger or 3 dot menu access.

Gabby It was actually really easy. Decompiled the apk, Edited the "\smali\com\xfinity\playerlib\view\launch\PlayerLaunchStrategy.smali" file. Replaced the two calls to the /featured/FeaturedActivity with /browseprograms/LiveStreamsActivity. Then recompiled and signed. (I did have to use the apk that you posted as a basepoint).
