[ROOT][GUIDE][2018] Enable Google Play Services & Play Store

I hereby discontinue support for my Fire TV Guides and Apps. I've been a big fan of Fire TV devices for the last 2-3 years, but Amazon has now with each firmware further limited the possibilities of a configurable Android environment and even destroyed standard Android commands. This goes too far for me now.
I can recommend the following devices to anyone who wants to have a reasonable and much better Android TV experience, which I now use myself and am enthusiastic about:
Mi Box
Mi Box S
Sony Android TV (ATV3 platform, eg. XF7, XF8, XF9 or higher)
Thank you very much for all you do.
Thanks! Can't wait to try it out!
Does it works on fire stick 1?

There is no root option for Fire OS 6.x at the moment and probably there will be none in the future.

please write output of "adb shell pm list packages | grep google" and send me the gapps logs:
open_gapps_debug_logs.tar.gz
open_gapps_log.txt
To start an app use:
adb shell am start -n com.package.name/.MainActivity
You can find out the package names and activities with the App "Activities".
Example:
adb shell am start -n org.xbmc.kodi/.Splash

Everything is installed correctly. Is it possible that you are using the Amazon TV Launcher? If so, you will not see the Play Store because the launcher does not display any system apps. Please try instead of AppStarter or HALauchner or start the Play Store via adb.
Code:
adb shell am start -n com.android.vending/com.google.android.finsky.activities.TvMainActivity

Yes, you need gapps-config.txt from the other guide and have to reinstall gapps. But you can skip step 5. Allow Google registration (NoTouchAuthDelegate).

Oreo ADB bloatware removeable? Possible?

Anyone had the ability to get adb shell working with Oreo now that it's been out a few weeks?
Looking to debloat if possible, especially a bunch of those pointless samsung apps that refuse to disable through application manager.

Same instructions as before still work. Honestly though Samsung allows so many uninstall and disablings, I just have to hide a few icons like "help" and my phone flies But if you want to go all out:
https://www.xda-developers.com/uninstall-carrier-oem-bloatware-without-root-access/
TLDR of those instructions (replace package-name with part of the app name you are trying to remove or cut of the grep part and find your package in the list):
Code:
adb shell
pm list packages | grep 'package-name'
pm uninstall -k --user 0 package-name
Note: Any application "uninstalled" via this method will return if/when you factory reset.

It does not work.
Solved
I have already solved. You just have to install some file explorer that can see the / (it does not matter if you are root or not, since we are not going to modify permissions or anything), for example, File Explorer. Enter / system / priv-app, we get a folder called MiuiGallery and inside is the apk. We installed it and everything works.
Just to comment about 2 years later... At least in my Xiaomi Mi 9T I uninstalled the Gallery and after reinstalling it, the app kept crashing.
The solution was to install it anyway and then go to System -> Apps -> Manage Apps, find the Gallery app and Uninstall the Updates... Basically this will revert to the "system" app and the app should run again...
The MI 9T is running on Android 10, MIUI 12.0.9.0.
HTH
I have found the solution.
you can simply use
1 adb shell
2 cmd package install-existing com.miui.gallery
and you'll get the package back .

If you prefer a GUI, you may like ADB App Control by Cyber.Cat. It's free for basic version and cheap to unlock the extras. It works on everything Android that I've tried it on.
the program did it, thanks
