I originally posted this in another thread, but in case anyone else is interested, I got the ICS google talk installed on the kindle fire HD. I pulled 4.0.3 GoogleServicesFramework and talk from my Evo 3D and it installed on my rooted fire HD without a hitch. Gtalk works except a few minor things. Apparently the front camera is not supported, so anyone trying to contact you via camera or you trying to contact via camera will cause it to force close. Also voice chat is not functional and will force close. I've had the whole camera app crash out but a reboot brought it back. Regular text chat works with no problems.
My biggest issue is that Gtalk will seem to disconnect when the device is on sleep or out of the app for a period of time. I noticed that when I originally installed gingerbread talk on the kindle fire 1st gen, it had the same issue. I don't know if anyone has input on this on how to fix this issue, I haven't had much luck searching.
I noticed that my gmail app will not actively sync with my account (push mail) and am not sure if this is related to Gtalk losing connection. Everything else works fine, play store, maps, youtubeHD.
I threw in 4.0.3 GoogleLoginService for a complete set and have it installed myself.
I've had no problems but just a friendly reminder, everything done and installed is at your own risk.
If you install GoogleServicesFramework.apk, Talk.apk without a fully functional play store yet and can't log in, you will need to install the play store to sync your account first. Instructions can be found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1893410 Follow the instructions and download the provided apk's on the link page. AFTER google play is up and running, you can update to 4.0.3 Google services and install ICS talk.
I was able to figure out my gmail sync/push problem. It's locked out by the amazon ecosystem but if you use AccountAndSyncSettings.apk, it can be unlocked and the gmail option in settings will allow you to use the stock android sync settings. I believe this is the gingerbread version but has been running on my ICS GoogleFramework. Gmail still has a slight delay over the stock fire HD email app but now if you want gmail fully functional, it works. I've had the notification bar temporarily disappear but appears to be due to a bug in Gmail app. I saw others mention something like this happening in another thread.
Downloaded Sync Settings from the play store for quick access, it allows you to choose between stock amazon settings and the android settings. This only works once you've installed AccountAndSyncSettings.apk

I have yet to figure out the gtalk disconnection issue. Any feedback will still be appreciated.
In the last picture, you can just use the sync settings app from the play store to access and manage your accounts. Mine goes in order of Amazon, Twitter, Facebook, Dropbox, Exchange and Gmail. Email addresses blocked out for privacy.
**** In order to fully activate google sync for the very first time, you need to turn on the sync settings through gmail first. Then you can use the sync settings shortcut app to get to the rest of your sync and manage from there. Again, this was done on a rooted 7.1.5 device with google play account active and done at your own risk.

After working on this issue all day and reading various information, I may have found a workaround to keep Gtalk signed in while the device is asleep.
After testing, I had found that Gtalk would still receive messages on a few minutes delay with the screen off. The message will be there but when turning on the screen and going to Gtalk, the interface would still display as "signed off" yet to others, I would be seen as "idle" and I would still have to log back in.
There was a missing link somewhere but I couldn't pin point it. Hoping eventually the devs will look into this issue and fix everything, including camera and mic support.
Currently, the work-around I figured out was to install Google+ app and sync my account. The app will keep the link open and no more unwanted log outs. I can't say how this will affect battery life at this time but Google+ is a widely used android app.
What seemed to work yesterday with my gtalk staying active decided to quit on me today, so back to square one. Still looking for any input on this matter.
Edit: right now this appears to be a slight bug in the gtalk program. The user is still signed in and shown as signed in to others on the gtalk list but the app on the kindle will need to re-login.
Thank you so much for your posting. It was full of tips and information. I was able to install the Google sync app and now my Google Voice application works. Before, it wouldn't even log be in. Now I can text from my Kindle HD. Thanks to you. You rock man!.

I did as your instruction to install AccountAndSyncSettings.apk, then go to gmail to try to open a sync setting. But system does not let me choose a sync setting app, so I could not set gmail sync on anyway.
Any idea about this?
Except gmail syc problem, everything like gmaps, talk, play store, youtube works well.

You need to go into gmail and enter the gmail settings. From there you can turn on sync.
Click on your email address there and the sync option to turn on will be in there.
I tried that way, but in my case not like the way in your picture, your system prompts an option so you can choose a sync setting app to change. When I touch my email address there, screen blinks then go back to gmail settings. Mine is 7.2.1.

Were you able to install it? This was done prior to the patch and I don't have this device anymore. You can try moving the apk to system/app, permissions rw-r-r and try installing it there.

I was able to install it from google store and did try to move app to /system/app. Still not work. I even downloaded and tried to install 5 different accountsyncsettings.apk from somewhere else but none works.
I even use nookcolortool from which I should be able to open account sync setting but failed.
I would have to give up.

From what I've been reading, amazon has been tightening things up with the patches. Without having the device to test myself, I can't say any longer if this will still install or if it's just your device. Sorry.

I can't get Google Voice to sign in to my gmail account. The latest update requires to to re-sign in and it just keeps staying on the "signing on" part. Any advice?
maybe you can try copy voice.apk to system/app , then install it from there.
From my trials these days, gapps always get some troubles. So far in my device, I did root, then copy 6apps including superuser.apk, googleframework.apk, talk.apk, vending.apk, networklocation.apk, googleloginservice.apk to system/app, and after that I do a factory reset to let system reinitiate. My strategy is different from all current discussion in the forum. This way you have all basic apps and you can always do factory reset in future without redo root.
Based on this basic system, I downloaded from other internet sources and installed gmaps, play store, gmail, voice in my fire hd. So far all of them work well, except gmail can not sync automatically. Also no way to put in contacts and calendar.
I now am looking forward to safestrap.

Word of warning: I installed this accountandsyncsettings.apk and the sync settings from these directions. But my Kindle Books were no longer sync and most of my books didn't show up on the Kindle HD anymore. I ended up doing a factory restore.

Got everything working - except Talk! It just closes down before even starting. Play, Google+, Plus Messenger, all is well. Ideas?
Are you using the correct talk version with your Google services? The ones I posted is ICS, there are older services and talk files floating around that may cause incompatibility.

Lots of problems
I am hoping someone can help! I have a 8.9" Kindle Fire HD. It's rooted, the Play Store is installed and working OK, Maps works OK, and Google Voice works OK.
BUT - I can't get GMail to work. It says "Gmail Has Stopped". (Not, "Unfortunately, GMail has stopped.")
And, I cannot get the Sync Settings App that you mention to work either. Like GMail, it opens for a split second, then closes.
NEVER MIND...found the correct one. that fixed it

My gmail can not sync as well.
The way I am using is to utilize Amazon email app. But when you go through setting, choose exchange rather than gmail. If you have iphone or ipad, that is the way apple has to do for gmail. I got gmail and contact sync working well with no problem.

I have a problem with Gmail and Talk. I have two accounts on Play Store. One address with gmail.com extension and other one has a different extension but it is configured on Google Apps services so it is based to Gmail. When I add this address to Gmail, Gmail stops working. If I only add to @gmail.com address Gmail app works. Is there any solution for that?
P.S. On my Galaxy SII, my both address works without any problem with any Google apps.

I've rooted my Fire and installed the Android Market without a problem. When I
first opened the market I logged in with my Google account to make sure everything
worked. Since I got this device for my dad, I'd rather he log in with his own Google
account. I've cleared the app data, and even deleted and re-installed. I can't get
the option to log in with a different google account and it stays with mine. Is there
a solution to this? Has anyone else experienced this?
Without access to the Account and Sync menu, I believe you'll need to uninstall and do a fresh reinstall of the market
I've uninstalled the market and re-installed with the apk. Or is there a more precise uninstall I should be doing?
In the Android development subforum here the long how to install market thread has reference to getting gmail to sync and those posts reference another thread with a link to a Sync Settings app. That will allow you to add another gmail account or delete one in addition to setting up sync items and auto sync. If I knew the post I'd gladly supply it but all I remember is where I found reference to the app.
Then just add your dad's email then subtract yours. Then to market and your set.
Added: found reference in a thread in this subforum on syncing contacts: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=19461785&postcount=2

Worked great. I installed "Quick Sync Settings" from the market. Thank you for providing that link.
I just hit "menu" and added an account from the Market. Or maybe GMail. It was pretty simple, really.
The menu from the market app wash giving me the option. Not until I added another gmail account through the sync settings it did.
Hi I have a similar question but just about the amazon app store. I have been using a separate email account to buy apps than the one to buy all my kindles and books. Is there any work around to have both amazon.com accounts logged in or to keep the apps and books installed while I am on my other account or the other?
I have rooted the tablet and have my google market running fine so I might just have to stick to that.
Thank you
Can't you install Anycut from the android market, open it, create new activity, select accounts and sync or whatever the activity is called, and then go from there?
Additionally can you open the Gmail app, menu, accounts, add account...from here, go to the android market and then you should have 2 different gmail accounts to choose between?

Thanks for that. I tried it and it crashes the system. I actually have two account from google on my market, but my main problem is accessing the apps that are registered to my gmail account. Mainly because my kindle account is a separate email and every time you deregister the Kindle it deletes your books or installs the apps.

Rooted 6.2.2: I have the FB app installed from the market. Is there a way to have the contacts sync with FB like on the phone? Is there a FB contact sync adapter similar to the googlecontacts and calendar sync adapters? I have those currently working.

When I installed it the app asked me if I wanted to sync on first run.
Check under settings>accounts & sync. There should be a setting for it there. (there is in mine)

In the FB app I don't have a accounts & sync option. In the sync settings for the Fire there are no settings for FB, only google.
Have you tried removing it and re-installing? When I first ran it after installation it gave me 3 options for syncing... all FB contacts, existing contacts, or none.
Either something didn't install right, or 6.2.2 is blocking a component. I'm running the ICS ROM, and it worked with CM7 as well.

Thanks for the reply. I uninstalled the app, the fb app does not show up for me in either the market or Amazon market. I think when I installed it before I had backed up and sideloaded it from my phone.
Any suggestions?
If you sideloaded it is it still in the /sdcard directory so you can install it again? Or did you delete it afterwards?

Good thinking....I installed it again but it never asked about any syncing options.
If you are on stock its a no go as far as I know. Maybe if you installed account and sync settings but then you a, do not have the actual UI for the settings and b, the contacts app on stock is not the same app used on standard Android devices so neither the settings or the Facebook app you sideloaded will know how to talk to the amazon contacts app. I tried doing this also but then decided to go over to cm7,

I am on the stock rom, and do have the sync settings app installed.

Anyone on here ever have trouble using the G+ app after flashing a new ROM and then backing up with TB?

I'm having the same problem, except its with my Nexus 7. Rooted with TWRP, been running CleanROM3.0 for a while now, but installed Cyanogenmod 10.1 nightly (31/01/13) today. Restored apps using Titanium but some would not restore, including Youtube and Google+. Upon installing Google+ I got the error message "Cannot connect to Server".
I have since, wiped cache, wiped dalvik, formatted internal data, removed all of my google accounts (had two other accounts on there that I had not signed up to google+ with) and added my main one again - but still can't sign in to G+. Also saw other fixes online such as updating your location and time/date settings, but did not work. I've uninstalled and reinstalled G+ about 6000 times today I think. I finally managed to sign into a 2.0 version of the Google+ app that I found online, and then tried updating to the latest in the Play Store, but it did not display the update option, and when I uninstalled and reinstalled, again I couldn't sign in. Thinking of going back to stock, re rooting and installing Cyanogenmod when I get home - but if you discover any other fixes in the meantime please let me know!
Thanks,
I finally got it to work. Here's how I did it:
Wipe your device, flash whatever ROM you use, flash GAPPS, login using your Google account (do it manually) and then when you boot up TB install everything as you usually do, but don't restore system settings or any of the google apps (no G+, Wallet, etc) install those manually using the Play store. If what I did actually made it work, then you shouldn't have any problems using G+.

I'm a little late to the party, but is there any chance any of you have tried chameleon launcher or any other app that may be able to access Google+?
I just installed Chameleon launcher on my phone and set up the Google+ widget that Chameleon has built in and when I granted it access is when my Google+ app stopped working. I had to uninstall it reinstall and set up the widget again and then deny access to get it working again. I know it's a long shot but it just may help.

Solution
I've had the same problem - I hope my solution might help some of you:
In my case the problem was AdAway (especially the "hostsx_googlecode_com/svn/trunk/hosts"-source) after deleting this source and refreshing AdAway the problem was gone...
I had this problem recently while trying to install Android 4.3 on my Int'l Galaxy Nexus (maguro). What I did to fix it was log on to Google Dashboard from my computer and click on Security. While under Security, I scrolled down to Connected Sites and clicked on Review Permissions. At the next screen, revoke the permissions of all apps at the top of the list that pertain to Android (or at least the ones granted permissions since you broke whatever you did). Once you've done this, you should be able to login to Google+ (or Hangouts if that's where your trouble lies) without any trouble. I've messed this up twice in the last day or so and this fix has got me back on track both times.

One solution for stock Nexus 7
I know this is an old thread but want to share a possible solution to help others Googling for help like I was.
I'm on Nexus 7 2013 with multiple users (AKA profiles). I had the same error "Can't connect to server" with Google+. Hangouts and Gmail apps logged in fine. Other user was fine using Google+ the whole time.
What worked for me:
* Open Photos app.
* Click OK on auto-backup.
* Open Google+ app. Select account to sign in with (if you have more than 1 Google accounts like me)
Really, I don't know why auto-backup was ever turned off, maybe an update to the Photos app. My guess is the Photos app was locking access to Google+ while waiting for me to choose yes or no on the auto-backup.
What didn't work:
* Unchecking, rechecking Sync with Google+.
* Restarting.
* Clearing Google+ app cache and data.
Tech details of Nexus 7:
* Stock Android 4.4.3.
* Build KTU84L.
So as the title says, I cannot connect to any of the Google apps such as YouTube, Google+, and the Play store. These were all working just a couple days ago, and I would appreciate any troubleshooting tips. Some of the apps, like YouTube, will connect, but have limited functionality. For example, I can connect to YouTube, and I can play videos, but I cannot like, subscribe, or do anything that requires an account. Also things like Gmail and Google+ will load, but I cannot get any new posts/emails
Any suggestions on how I can fix this?
Using a Nexus 4 w/ Cyanogen Mod 11.

It sounds that google app data doesn't sync. Go to settings accounts your google account and make sour that app data is checked. Maybe that's your problem.

Well, I went there, and saw that the app data was already checked. There was a message at the bottom telling me that "sync is currently experiencing problems. It will be back shortly"
Any other ideas?
Have you tried forcing a sync of every single item? Removing and re-adding your google account? Those might do the trick. Also make sure your play store and play services are fully up to date.
Since installing 8.1 Wednesday morning:
1. My Google Camera app wouldn't open; I had to replace it.
2. Gmail stopped automatically downloading my email from yahoo.
3. Samsung Gear S2 no longer vibrates when PH-1 receives SMS (it vibrates with Facebook messenger messages, though.) I uninstalled all the associated apps and reset the watch - problem is still there.
If anyone has solutions for 2 or 3, lemme know. Both the Samsung Gear and Samsung Accessory Service app pages on Play Store are flooded with reports that vibrations have stopped working. The indicator shows on the watch face, but the watch doesn't vibrate. Reddit has reports of the same, as well.
At this point, I'd lose days rebuilding the phone if I backed up to Nougat. If you have advice or recommendations, please share 'em.

The fastest way to downgrade would be using Titanium backup to make backups of everything you need andor want then fastboot flash back with essential's firmware on their website.

How is your Yahoo account set up... POP or IMAP? If you're having problems with the one fetch method... Try the other...
Is there a setting in you S2 app that turns vibration on and off for individual apps? Otherwise I think that's a blame Samsung...

Thanks for the pointer. I'm now researching rooting.

I'll give a POP a try. Thank you!

Yes, there are settings that allow the S2 to vibrate for selected apps only. Messages and FB Messenger are both switched on; only FB Messenger vibrates the S2.

From everything I've read, I need to first root the phone, in order to get Titanium to operate. And, as I understand it, rooting (more accurately, unlocking the bootloader so that I can root) will wipe out all of my phone's settings. If I'm going to have to rebuild this thing from scratch, Essential is getting a call.
Essential customer service wasn't helpful.
I flashed back to 7.1.1 then re-installed 8.1 via OTA. Everything works again. Next step is to root to get Titanium on. I tried this morning, but failed, for some reason.

Make sure you grant titanium backup all it's permissions...
And if you can't get it to restore... Try switching to SELinux permissive

Got the phone rooted, but GMail was just NOT playing nicely with Yahoo; it would not auto-sync and notify of new emails. It would only download new email if/when GMail was launched. Long story short, I manually added the server settings for POP3 and that finally fixed it.
Incoming: pop.mail.yahoo.com, port 995, SSL/TLS
Outgoing: smtp.mail.yahoo.com, port 465, SSL/TLS
Other things I did that may have helped:
1. I uninstalled my Yahoo account from GMail.
2. GMail still showed remnants of my Yahoo account, so I uninstalled the latest GMail update. THAT action removed my Yahoo account.
3. I also verified my Yahoo account was removed from "Users & accounts" under Settings
4. From my PC, I changed my Yahoo password.
5. From my PC, I turned off Yahoo's "two-step verification" security under Yahoo's account settings. [During GMail account setup, the "two-step verification" security approach doesn't appear to use the server's typical password authentication credentials. Instead, it uses text messaging and proprietary codes entered into Chrome, which kept generating a 404 error on my PH-1.]
