Make google play the default market howto (root required)

When you open links to android apps in the browser or other external apps the Kindle intercepts them by default and takes you to the Amazon market instead. In most cases it doesn't have that app which is pretty annoying. To fix that all you need to do is rename MarketIntentProxy.apk in /system/app. No ill effects found so far and it takes effect immediately.
sorry, to ask. But rename it to what?
When I did this I just renamed it to marketintent.bak

Google Play Market Kindle 7" Software 7.2.3
I decided to just move it from /system/app/MarketIntentProxy.apk to /sdcard/download - works great. Thank you for the post.
not working for dolphin add ons
Hi I tried installing a dolphin browser add-on after a successful root and renamed the proxy market file, but I still get redirected to amazon. So it doesn't seem to be working for me which is slightly weird as I'm sure I installed some dolphin add-ons before the root.
Any ideas please?

xamol,
You are using an old version of the Google Play Market. The new Market is version 3.10.10.
The problem you are describing is quite common with the older Google Play Market.
Please go over to our post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2069859
Or download and install the attached apk. This will also reduce the number of
" ! your device Isn't compatible with this version" you had experienced.
Hi prokennexusa,
First things first, thanks for the superb noob guides and for your help.
I'm still having this issue after following all the guides. My Market is on version 3.10.10, verified through the apps browser in ES File explorer, but I still get redirected to the Amazon store for a Dolphin add-on.
I still cannot install quite a few apps, for instance the My Vodafone app. I also tried the side load method, if this is the correct method?. I copied the .apk file to system/app and changed the acl to RW/R/R but the app still failed to install.
I've attached the apk so if you've got time or any interest in it you can have a look.
Or if you can point me in the right direction on how to debug/troubleshoot, or even check install log files for a starter that would be great.
Cheers
amazon market
yes it work great! but I still got the message "this app is not compatible with your device" even after installing the new version attached in this thread....
I just notice one thing about the apps in amazon, some apps actually work perfect in KFHD compare the app available in GPLAY.
HDplayer for instance, both availabe in each store but performs differently....the amazon version is great...

ryanne81,
Great work ryanne81! I am glad we were able to solve the Default Market issue. Now, moving on to the
"this app is not compatible with your device" issue. When Google Play Store shows this message,
there is a 70% chance that it is indeed correct. A good example is a customer request this morning,
he wanted "Sky Go" on his Kindle Fire HD, when he wen to Google Play Store, the message
"this app is not compatible with your device" displayed making it difficult to obtain the apk. He
contacted us and we have the apk, as well as over 5000 other apk's. We decided to try it out
despite the warning that the Kindle Fire HD was not compatible with the application. In the case
of Sky Go, the message was correct. We installed the application without trouble, then when we
launched the application it initialized fine, then an error message displayed "Technical error
occurred........." forcing us to "Close" the application. Yet, the Sky Go application runs fine
on our Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 - both Android Ice Cream Sandwich 4.0.3, so the moral
of the story? Always try the application to see if the message is erroneous. If you need an
apk, contact us, as long as the apk developer allows us to distribute it, we will get you a copy
in an attempt to make it work. Finally, the Amazon Store does offer applications that have
been ported to the Kindle Fire HD specifically, whereas the version available on Google Play
Store have been ported to Android OS. Yes, the Kindle Fire HD is Android Ice Cream
Sandwich BUT it has many proprietary applications and hardware built in the Kindle Fire HD.
We learned that the "core" Android Jelly Bean OS does not work well on the Kindle Fire
HD (yes, we were able to install a copy) proving that the hardware has been custom made
by Amazon Development Team and will require custom drivers built specifically for this
platform. Soooooo, if you need an apk, contact us, we probably will be able to obtain a copy
for your testing and development.

Any chance you guys have found a 'work around' sky go apk yet???, loads of talk about it all over forums, and some have gained access or sorts by the looks, but using a convoluted:good: method of temp un root, root blockers etc etc....
Would make a whole heap of mortal bods like me happy if there is a way?

Goat Simulator now officially compatible!

The update posted today is now listed as compatible for Fire TV in both browser website and the Google Play app.
Since then,I've deleted my copy that I tested on Fire TV. (with great success)
My strongest apologies to those stuck without root.
Maybe evozi or apk leecher will get a new feature that can grab device specific versions of apps you own so you can grab the one set for Fire TV.
Hopefully it is designed like the original GTA3 Android with a download phase or has all of the data built into the apk itself.
The only conflict is that you need another device that can get it legitimately so you can claim certification to get it with evozi if it is even possible without root.
Let's just hope the devs can get Amazon to add it to their app store with Fire TV support so people can get it natively with no rooting required.
It would MASSIVELY boost Fire TV sales if they do!
Goat Simulator has been updated to 1.0.9 with optimizations.
Can someone please tell me how this update runs on Fire TV?

New to Android tv

Hi I just purchased a 2017 16bg Nvidia shield tv box from amazon and looking for a beginners guide to rooting and loading all the free apps and such, like Kodi ,and Netflix ect.. From what I can see so far you can then get these services for free first is this true second is there a guide for dummies like me.
Thanks for at help
Kodi can be found on the Play store. I think Netflix too (personally not interested in it)
For sideloading apps, look around how to do it through ADB (countless tutorials around the net, not necessarily Shield specific).
You're only as noob as you want to be. These days information only needs to be searched!

First if you're a newbie to android you shouldn't be looking at rooting, it could be dangerous if you don't really know what youre doing. You should first read and start from the basics.
Seconds, about "free services" maybe you're confused, you can get lots of free apps with and without In App purchases but for example if you download Netflix,doesn't mean you'll get the service for free. Same applies for other known to be paid services.
Now it's also true that you can find apps that provide "free" content that may or not be legal but it's there.
You should start with few searches on google or youtube better:
BTW you need a Google account (@gmail.com)
1. How to use Google Play Store
2. How to sideload apps in Nvidia Shield TV
3. How to install a browser on shield tv
4. What is sideload launcher by chainfire and how to use it.
Note: Android TV is limited, mostly because it lacks of some permissions for apps, that is why you won't find all android apps in the Android TV Play Store because Androod TV is NOT full Android. That is also why many people sideload apps to their Shields by downloading the app package (.apk) of interest from the web and copying it to the Shield to then install it (unknown services must be enable), yet the apps may not work as expected because of te lack of important permissions it can't get.
For average non techy users Android TV should "suffice" for media, live tv, some android gaming (only the ones that support gamepad), game streaming, great retro gaming, etc.

[Guide] Installing Google Play Service on Non-Rooted Firestick 2

Here is how to fix an error similar to this: App "Won't run without google play services which are not supported by your device" on Firestick 2.
There was an older thread here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/fire-tv/general/installing-google-play-service-rooted-t3574088 that updated info from here http://www.aftvnews.com/how-to-inst...amazon-fire-tv-or-fire-tv-stick-without-root/ but both are outdated at least for the apps I am using. Also, they did not list the source for their working version for when the tutorial gets dated.
Only two steps are required.
For now, https://www.apkmirror.com/ has the most up to date version and seems to update daily. You can use a sideloaded Google Browser or the AFTV browser in the Downloader App (enable JavaScript in settings) that is provided in the Amazon Firestick Store.
1. Go to source website (they do not have an app) and search Google Play Store for ANDROID TV. Ensure you download the version that explicitly states (Android TV) in the title. The ones that were not titled did not work even though the description said for Android TV.
2. On the same website search and download Google Play Services for Android TV
That is it. No need to download anything else, no need to log in, or even click the apps you downloaded. Since the website does not have an app, it won't auto update but hopefully, your apps do not require a constantly updated store.
I did this and the play store never loads. Advice?

The play store does not need to load. This guide is not for getting a functioning play store but to allow apps that require Google Play Services to function.
Thank you, bro. Last time I downloaded 4 files including a PlayStore, this is excellent.

You are welcome. I know, it was much simpler than the older tutorials made it out to be. Also by listing the source, hopefully, this tutorial can be relevant for a very long time.
What do you mean source web site?
Nm I got it thanks bunches
You rock, thank you!
Just to clarify as I got a bit confused at the beginning.
1. From APK mirror download 2 APKS with these names in the title, get the latest version.
-1. Google Play Store (Android TV)
apkmirror.com/apk/google-inc/google-play-store-android-tv
- 2. Google Play services (Android TV)
apkmirror.com/apk/google-inc/google-play-services-android-tv
2. They can be downloaded from the device via a browser (enable java)) or side loaded.
3. Once you have them on the device, install them but no need to launch them. I installed 1 and then 2.
4. Launch your app that threw the error before and now it should work.

Yes, that is all I did and it worked.
Side note. I personally use the https://apkpure.com/ because it has an actual app store. I could not find the correct version on there but once I used the APK mirror one, the Pure store was able to find and update it and it worked. Maybe it was a one time deal but thought I would mention it. That might make it easier than continuing to use a browser. However, apps don't seem to require the newest version of Play, so no big deal either way.
Didn't work for me
Did not work for me. Any chance to confirm the working versions?
I'm on:
Fire TV Gen2 / Fire OS 5.2.6.0 (FireTV Home version 6.0.0.0-264)
I used-
Google Play Store (Android TV) v. 8.0.2.8 ( 8.0.28.R-xhdpi (8) (PR) 163004339)
Google Play Services (Android TV) 11.7.46 (836-175121617) (11746836)
^^- There were newer versions, but the new versions were all betas and I didn't want to fool with that.
I get same errors as the OP- "App "Won't run without google play services which are not supported by your device"
For what it's worth I'm trying to use my (paid for) version of realMyst.
Any help? Thanks!

Hmm, even if it is an older version, it should give you an “update error” not a “not supported error”
My apkpure app has updated the Google Play Store but not the Services.
Currently my Google Play Services is 11.5.09 (836-164803921) Try this first.
and my store which just updated now is 8.3.75.U-all [0] [FP] 173942022
This is what is working for me right now. Let me know if that works.

Hey, thanks for the quick reply... and for your help, generally. So- some slight progress, I guess.....
The app starts to load, but now I get the error- "This app requires the latest version of the Google Play Games app." with the option to cancel or install. Install leads to the error- This version of the app isn't compatible with your device. To fix this problem, go to Settings and uninstall updates for the Google Play Store app."
I guess I could try installing that next. I see there are (Android TV) versions of that app. Any suggestions which one(s) might be confirmed working for my OS?
Also- Is there not some way to modify an app so that it plays but doesn't need to reach out to google play? But that method probably wouldn't be the same method for all apps then (so not useful to try and figure out b/c limited use). These google apps eat up a lot of space on the very limited Amazon internal storage. Haven't tried to move them to external yet.
Also also- How did you get brakets ( ][) in your post? The site won't let me put them in, saying bbcode is forbidden.

So I did go ahead and install a Google Play Games, just for fun. This one:
5.3.98 (174057789.174057789-046) (Not the most recent but only a couple weeks old)
Didn't work. Got a blank screen on loading realMyst. Then I tried something- I moved realMyst from the the SDdrive to internal storage. THAT seemed to help. For a bit.
With rM on internal storage, google play games started up. But it wanted me to log in:
x'ing out - went to a black screen permanently
choosing 'use an account' or 'login with account' somthing like that- went to a black screen permanently
choosing 'use google play services' - went to a black screen permanently.
I'm getting tired of that having to be on internal storage issue... The Fire TV has so little internal memory... what a hassle. Unless maybe if I move all 4 services out the sd drive......
And anyway it still doesn't work.
Any suggestions, generally, on google play games version, internal/sd location, etc. would be appreciated. But I'm coming up to my wall, at least for this round....
I bought this thing, secondarily, for the game capability. But their game selection stinks. (Chose this over shield b/c I only really want app games on tv, and I use it for tv/media as well. Seemed more solid. And less expensive.)
Anyway... les sigh.
The app starts to load, but now I get the error- "This app requires the latest version of the Google Play Games app." with the option to cancel or install. Install leads to the error- This version of the app isn't compatible with your device. To fix this problem, go to Settings and uninstall updates for the Google Play Store app."

Way above my layman knowledge to answer that. It is stupid that apps even require Google Play unless needed to function.. There are many devices and stores that are not Google.
Now this method is really to fool apps that don’t really even need to use Google Play but for some reason require it. I am not familiar with Google Play Games but does your app actually need a FUNCTIONING Google service to work? If so than......
EDIT:
From my quick review Google Play Games says “Games get more fun with the Google Play Games app. Browse and compete with friends, track your achievements, and pick up where you left off, on any device. As you master more games, show off your skills in your gamer profile. Record your gameplay and share it to YouTube. Play the world, anywhere in the world, all from one place“.
So from this description it appears you might need the real and not fictitious Google since it seems the game actually utilizes its framework or api to “compete with friends, track achievements and pick up where you left off on any device”. If that is the case.......not an easy fix.
Also also- How did you get brakets ( ][) in your post? The site won't let me put them in, saying bbcode is forbidden.

Oh no, I should have specified- I installed the versions you suggested. Restarted, and open rM (realMyst). That's when I got to the Google Play Games requirement. Looking back, other versions I tried may have said that (Need-Games) and I didn't notice the difference. Moot point, we're on this path now.
So that's when I installed the above version of Google Games. Restarted. Started rM. Got to the 'choose a way to log in' errors, above.
To the best of my knowledge, rM doesn't need google play store or games. I'm not sure why it ever would, actually.. But it's single player, I think it's 'coninuous save', but you don't have multiple save games/points. There is no multiplayer, and no in-app purchases (that I recall). realMyst is a port of an old pc game, called Myst. They had a sequel, called Riven. This is just an android version of that old game. It's a first person explore and puzzle-solve game. Had great graphics for back then. Same kinda deal as like Out of This World (which will run on my Fire.)
And ur lucky with the brackets, I had to edit all the file names to remove then. And also just figure out that it was the brackets that were the problem. I have no idea what bbcode is, lol...

My assumption was that newer versions would be better programmed to figure out that they were on a Fire and to stop working. Just like any kind of copy-protection. So that only older or 'adjusted' versions would work.
So I just loaded it up on my phone. First screen- permissions. Asks for camera, mic, other stuff, I forget what exactly. But I clicked 'don't ask again' and "Deny". The app says something about 'won't be able to save games without storage permissions'. Ok, fine for now, whatever.
Then, yes, Google Play does prompt me to create a Gamer ID (A google play account, I suppose.) My options are 'learn more' and 'Next'. This I've seen other apps do, sometime pretty insistently. But this time I can simply back out of it (The android back button on the phone). And this sends me straight to the game. The game opens, etc.
It does look like there are saved games (bookmarks). I can go back and play with the storage permissions (on my phone, at least.)
Many games will prompt to create a gamer ID. Some can be quite naggy. But at some point I can always back out and continue without.
Does that help at all? I kinda get that we're coming to the end of the road...

You might want to start a separate thread asking about the Google Play Games error. I am not that technically savvy but I decided to create an account and pay it forward since the other outdated thread which showed how to install Google Play Music pointed me in the right direction. I noticed that most people just needed the Play Store, so I basically cut the steps to make it easier and showed them where to always get the most up to date version.
This thread almost got you there, so maybe like Google Play Music, someone will be able to chime in.
THIS MIGHT HELP but again I am no expert and just speculating.
The Google Play Music Tutorial which I linked to on my first post had two extra steps which allowed you to log in with your Google Account credentials.
Maybe that login is what you need here to fool it and bypass the error.
So maybe try on the same APK site installing Google Services Framework and Google Account Manager

So I bought version 1.2.8.0 from Google Play Store for $7 (downloaded and installed to Android compatible device), used SDMaid to backup the .apk file and then sideloaded it to the Firestick using ESExplorer over my network (there are dozens of ways to get the .apk file and sideload it to the FireStick). I then dowloaded the exact versions of Google packages from this tutorial https://flixed.io/install-google-play-fire-tv-stick/
*I tried the newest versions and they do not work (as has been experienced in this thread), it has to be the older packages, regardless if the minimum API matches the Fire OS SDK 22 or whatever.
Again, there are dozens of ways to download the Google packages from apkmirror.com and install them to your Fire TV (no mystery).

No longer a way to install Google Play store on Child profile? for the kids edition?

I really only want to install Youtube Kids on my child profile. I can't get the last 2 google apks to install on Child profile. Everything is all good on the adult profile side> I even tried just the Youtube kids apk to try to add it thru gotoapp shortcut but still. won't install. Is this loophole officially over until further notice?
I did this successfully (numerous times) on my Fire HD 8's.
They're all generation 7 running 5.4.0.0.
However, in order to get access to the play store (or any app that subsequently comes from the play store) while in the Child profile, I had to do so via the GoToApp from Amazon's app store.
