[Q] Apps Won't Install From Amazon Appstore

I just updated to 6.2, re-rooted and got Market going again and I noticed that I can't get apps from the Amazon app store to install. They will download, but then sit at the "installing" phase forever. When I restart the Kindle Fire sometimes it will try to install them again but it never finishes.
Any ideas?

Figured it out...
Go to settings -> Applications -> Filter to show all applications and select the amazon appstore.
Then clear all storage data and clear the cache.
Whew.

Thanks for the tip and actually explaining how you fixed it. Too many people just post "Got it!".

If you used the Vending.apk when installing the Android Market then uninstall and try using com.amarket.apk. I found one linked to in this thread.
I was having the same problem until I switched with .apk I was using. Cleared it right up.

I can't down load any apps says to contact customer support

I dont see the one that you're talking about do you have a solution for hd 8?

OK Google Everywhere, on any AOSP Rom

ok all, i have got ok google working everywhere on rastapop now, an aosp rom, even with the phone sleeping. this will work on any aosp rom btw. this is what youll have to do.. first, thank @sykopompos for finding what all aosp builds are missing(i only did the testing since he doesnt have a n6 yet). secondly, download this zip http://goo.gl/7NUZZy , unzip it, open the folder and there will be three more folders. you want to remove the files from inside and use a root file explorer to place them into /system/ where each folder shows you where they go. after you finish, just reboot for it to take affect
ok, we have a flashable here now, by @hlxanthus that a few claim works, so ill go ahead and post the post/file here..
hlxanthus said:
Alright guys, I took all this stuff and modified it as required. Also added backup/restore capability with addon.d support. Also seeing as this is kind of a final deal, went ahead and signed the package. Passed this to simms22 for his approval prior to adding it to the OP. But feedback from all of you is good too. Myself, I have never had wide success with the previous fixes. Never survived reboot or with screen off and unplugged. These new files seem to completely fix that. THANKS @sykopompos !!
Download - OkayGoogleEverywhere_shamu.v2.zip
Simply flash like any other package, and if you are not manually wiping /system, no need to flash again with every rom update!!

check again that you put the files into the right places.
the com.motorola.triggerenroll.xml goes into /system/etc/permissions/
the libtrainingcheck.so goes into /system/lib/
the triggerenroll.apk and triggertrainingservice.apk go into/system/priv-app/
it has worked for everyone so far.

Yeah it's not working for me either.

It works, but only temporarily (does not persist through reboot). Same as without this mod / fix.
Is this supposed to fix (enable it) or let it persist through reboot?
EDIT: Now it doesn't seem to work at all from screen-off. Cleared data, reboot, had to clear data again, train to my voice. Nothing.

it should persist, yes. as it does for me just fine. we are adding a few apks and other files, they dont disappear after a reboot, so should always persist until you change things or flash something over.

its so odd.. the far majority, everything works as it should. but for a few people it wont work. itll work temporarily, then a fc, then no more. odd.

It seems that for some people the TriggerEnroll.apk is force closing when trying to set up voice, sending it into a loop.

Have you flashed/installed anything recently that could conflict with the app?
Try wiping the app data in Settings and see where that gets you.
If not try wiping Cache/Dalvik from recovery and if you're still having no luck with it, try a factory reset!
Hope I helped,
Beans

I installed puzzles and dragons, and all of a sudden its been acting up, I wiped cache from recovery, no go
EDIT: I found the cause, it was the update for Chrome

I personally would just delete it from
•Data/app
•System/app
•System/priv-app
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Using a root file manager (depending on where you have it installed), and re-installing it from the Play Store.
You could also try uninstalling the puzzles and dragons app and see if that gives you anything

SO SORRY, but it wasn't fixed (((

No worries!
Try using a file explorer such as Astro or ES File Explorer (Or Root Explorer if you're willing to pay, totally worth it though bought 2 years ago on sale and haven't needed another file manager since) to go into
Data/app
System/app
System/priv-app

to locate the quicksearch apk file and delete it, then just re-install it from the Play Store!
If you're still experiencing FC's after that the only other suggestion I can give without knowing the actual cause of them is to do a Factory reset (Data, Cache, Dalvik)!
Beans

for some reason I can't find that quick search app?
All i did so far was uninstall updates to Chome and Google, so far so good! will update again if it fails

Debloating the Huawei Ascend XT

Let's continue our debloating discussion of the Huawei Ascend XT which we started in thread titled "Huawei Ascend XT H1611"
https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/general/-t3507933 in this thread now please .

So i'm guessing there's some kind of protection that prevents full root access or something else, thanks to huawei, that prevents app removal. I've tried everything from the above thread. Nothing worked for me. Need to remove ATT/Huawei bloat apps, not freeze/disable.

When I look at the AT&T system and other preinstalled potential bloatware, I don't see how deleting them is going to amount to any significant internal storage free space. I'm guessing 0.5. GB.
If someone is planning to do maximum level debloating by deletion vs freezing/disabling, please post the free internal storage before and after the lobotomy . Thanks!

Usually when i do it with other brands i get a significant amount of space. I remove not only apps but processes as well. Maybe huawei UI takes up a lot of space. I still want to remove bloatware just in case.

In my mind, there are various levels of debloating.
Level 1: Freeze/disable apps with phone app manager. You can clear data too if you are sure you won't need the current app settings/data.
Level 2: Uninstall user apps with phone app manager.
Level 3: Use rooted debloating tools to freeze/disable system or use apps which could not be done in level 1 or 2. You can still take an OTA update up to this level and may have to unfreeze any frozen apps first.
Level 4: Use root debloating tool to uninstall system or user apps you positively don't need and know from previous levels or knowledge is not required. This will free up some space on the partition(s) that the app uses. Depending on what apps you get rid of you won't be able to take an OTA in this state.
I need to read this over later and maybe make so changes - so work in progress .

I have been able to remove some of the apps. Like Google Drive, Drive Mode, Amazon (not Kindel), and a few other things. I'm thinking of removing Music and messages to replace it with better apps.

Only one level for me - remove all useless junk including processes. OTA updates don't work with root anyway.

How? I can't remove any. Some just don't get removed, some detected as system app. Shouldn't matter with proper root.

Yeah, I'm not done, like I said.
You can take an OTA with systemless root, by unrooting first, proved you didn't go to Level 4!
Depending on what each person wants to do, they can go straight for the kill/Level 4.

Very few apps get disabled instead of uninstalled. The rest are system files, even google crap. Very unusual. Never had a rooted phone where i couldn't get rid of crap.

Yes i tried titanium, rom toolbox, root uninstaller. granted permission. Tried everything discussed in the original thread and even reflashed reinstalled supersu.

I was able to uninstall the stock launcher. I would have kept it but while I'm running Nova Launcher Prime the stock launcher ate a lot of ram. I've gained around a GB in free space with everything I removed. My phone ram is a lot better now as well.
I also uninstalled Music App and replaced it with a better one.

I have no clue man I wish I could help you. The only apps I haven't been able to uninstall are the AT&T apps, Uber, directv, and YP and stock keyboard. I wish I could remove the keyboard it takes up 250mb of space and ram even while using Gboard.

dabadguycr,
Did you gain 1GB internal storage space? What did you delete or what do you have left ?

Finally removed some apps with titanium. Removed SIM toolkit. Now need to run in airplane mode or else get annoying messages in notification bar. I'd like to get it back. Possible to extract and post the apk?

Huh to the last sentence .

Beaware OTA fails if you remove system apps, update runs intergity checks against previous installed to updated versions. And if it is gone OTA fails. Trust me been modding phones many years.
---------- Post added at 04:28 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:23 AM ----------
Also OTA sometimes updates the bootstrap image removing unlocked bootloader and even patching the kernel. And changlogs are usually not readily available with OTA's. Never used them after modding in my own opinion.
---------- Post added at 04:41 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:28 AM ----------
You can factory restore the phone, hold down the vol +/- and power on device. You will see the cord symbol. The Huawei software will restore it. Like the restore in iTunes software. It's even possible to get an full system image if someone wants to look through services running in Windows background and find the temp location where the file is cache to. Just takes someone who wants to tackle this easiest way to make a flashable zip for TWRP. Surprisingly no one has said anything. Recovery image has to be downloaded via Huawei software then cache to temp folder. There is where it can be captured and copied before it is removed by recovery process.
Like a slide of hand?

Restoring back to factory stock should be a piece of cake using TWRP for those who made a full TWRP backup of their phonez before rooting as the instructions suggested .
