[Q] Amazon AppStore APK - login issues

After re-imaging, I re-downloaded the Amazon Appstore APK but the sign-in authentication always fails. I have 3 NCs, and of the 2 I re-imaged, I ran into the same problems.
Is there a work around for the sign in authentication issue?
The only way I got it back was flashing a TB backup.

no answer sry
Newb to forum and android . I only have Google apps on my NC getup atm. Didn't know they made amazon apps T_T. Sorry for silly post, trying to get my post count up so i can comment in the developer section

Not aware of a work-around for that issue. Did you download the APK from Amazon directly?
As an alternative to Titaunium Backup, excellent as it is, I've recently started using Android Assistant for these restores of often-used apps. It creates self-contained apks that don't require installation of anything else to restore.

So what is so pressing that you can only post in the Developer section about it?

I had the same problem, I re-installed the root zip for NC 1.4.1 (5-12-12)
and it worked after that and I did download it directly from the Amazon Appstore site.

I did download the APK straight from Amazon. Thanks for the help. I'll try the Amazon assistant and see if that works.
It would suck if Amazon was locking down the store more and excluding devices that are competitive with its offerings.....

I know this is a little old; but if you guys haven't identified it you have to go into your Amazon account and deregister some devices.
It's under Your account > Apps devices > Your devices ...
Delete some old flashes you had and it will work fine.

I'm having the SAME Issue. I cleaned out all my old devices, clear cache and data, uninstalled and re-installed and this is the ONLY device having an issue logging in. I talked with Amazon to get it fixed, but becasue it is a rooted device, they would NOT help me. ALL of my PAID apps will no longer function. The Kindle software works fine: I can buy thru it fine, access my books. Totally lost now. Is there some place I need to delete something to get this working again??

I am having this same issue. Did you guys get it worked out? I have even downloaded older versions

[Q] Amazon app .trying to update from Google Market

I have this issue with apps purchased from Amazon app market.For some reason showing up as Google market apps.. When they try to update i get a error message saying denied.. Then after a few times i get a message from google saying i have a pirated app on my tablet. I have done everything from contacting google and amazon. Both tell me how to re install the app markets fix cache and so on..
as well as tried the fixed in Titanium backup.
I have also wiped my tablet formats and wipe menue in cwm.. flashed totally diffrent rom Told google in initail setup to not restore or backup my data and so on.. next day its back. the app that is causing the most trouble is QUICK OFICE
Thanks in advance.
YES I know this should prob be in the general section not a tablet spacific forum.. but you guys know me and will take me more serious that its not a user error..Well i dont think ..
Erica Renee...

I just updated mine last week and now find that I can't install programs from non-android market sources. I have tried installing Amazon Market, with not luck. What is strange, is that when I get to the screen that says accept permissions, the install button won't activate, only the cancel button works. I tried installing another non-android app with the same situation. Yes, I clicked on unknown sources first.
Is this something that Android (Google) is trying to monopolize? Not happy about this, as one of my most used apps, which requires a recurring subscription, has been removed from the Android Market, and now I can't update it!!

Hey Erica,
As far as I understand the apps from amazon are not identical to those from the market place. I think since the market is more commonly used, apps are submitted there first and updated by the developers as frequently as they want. With Amazon, the apps must be submitted to be approved. They approve the updated apps (or not potentially) which is why they are so far behind the same apps in the market place.
I think they are also technically different apps since they must inject some code that forces that app to require that the amazon market place be installed before you able to run the app (if you remove the amazon marketplace app you can't run an app installed from amazon). I doubt that would affect the upgrade of an app, but I could see why google's marketplace would say it was not a legit app.

Erica. it happens when you wipe your data partition and then restore the app with TB. Somewhere in there android market will think its one of its apps and tag it. The only way to prevent this from happening is by re-downloading the app from Amazon after a data partition wipe and then restoring the data only with TB. I know this sucks but its a flaw with either TB or the way the market scans and registers your apps. That is why I usually never wipe my data partition when I switch roms. Its such a pain to get everything set up again.

You need to go into settings/applications and make sure unkown sources has a check mark next to it.

But I've seen this happen and I still use stock on my phone and tab. I have read others complain of this issue on amazon's forums and I was pretty sure these were people who didn't use a custom rom (but can't be sure about that though, maybe they weren't admitting it since it was on amazon's forums)

I did check unknown sources first. The strange thing is, I was able to download the same apps on my droid bionic, but not on my a500.

I had that issue a while back and un-installing/re-DLing/re-installing the Amazon app apk. fixed it for me. But I'm guessing you have already tried that. What version of market are you using? I had an issue with the newest version of market for a bit where it would make certain games/apps FC on me. Had to revert back to the version that came on the tab to get everything working again. Not really like your issue, but from what I was told at that point, the new market can cause all sorts of wonkiness with stuff. Sorry I can't be of more help.

Location consent (and other permissions)

When I click the Location button on my new S5, it asks for consent. This is a right pain in the ***! Why do I have to keep clicking the Agree button, making it two clicks instead of one? Its stupid! Any way around this?
Also, I am using Swiftkey. I frequently get notifications saying Choose input method (Swiftkey). Why oh why!
Thanks,
Jon

im pretty sure threre is xposed module that automatically consents and stops it from popping up, just install xposed isntaller and then go to downloads section and search for "disable google network location consent"
---------- Post added at 11:12 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:06 PM ----------
also make sure you after you install it to enable it and tick it in modules and restart if you have to... if you havent used xposed installer before go into framework 1st and install it then reboot and install the module and enable it then restart if need be... hope this helps

Google Play on V2.1.0.11 firmware

Hello!
To install Google play on new Nokia X2 firmware You nedd nokiaX2 with new firmware=)
Next step is strongly recomended - you need custom recovery.
It will be easyer to restore your phone from backup, if something goes wrong.
Next - you need to root your phone. I`ve done it throu custom recovery.
After rooting your device you need root access file manager - Root EXplorer for example.
Next step - you need to backup your phone thou custom recovery befor doing any sistem modifications.
Then- Open file manager - go to system\app
Cut out two files
package verifier.apk
and
package verifier.odex
Paste it anywhere you want.
Or - if you have backups - you can delete it.
Then you can install Google Play.
From some sourses you can get patched gplay , so, for those of you who have purchased apps - it will be an error after you try to add your app in gplay.
Only way for fixing this - finding another gplay pack.
After updating gplay - some pics will disappear. Same thing was on 2.0 firmware, if you have Lucky Patcher - you can disable autoupdate of gplay.
Soure of this method is here.

After Play Store's self updating all the images are not able to shown in the store, then after a reboot it will lost connection, like what the majority of us are facing.
It seems the host file's problem to me, I made a few changes but no luck.
Before finding out the method running latest google play, the temp solution is using Lucky Patcher (metioned in OP) to stop store itself from updating. However, even with lucky patcher enabled, google play will lose connection after reboot. You have to delete account and login to store again. Maybe the device regenerate certain files and that blocked google play.

Great job Altivex everyday i visit 4pda for new update. i dont know when grip_9 or russlan will release custom rom

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 .
