Yes you can manually install apks, not google framework dependent apps, yet

Hi,
just tried install gapps on my new fire hd10 (btw, i like sound and screen brightness from this tablet!)
i installed:
google account manager
google framework
play services
play store
The google play store made some updates for "play services" after that.
one reboot after that, and the google playstore showed me also correct all apps i paid at google play store in the past.
=> i could install without problems different games (for example riptide) and google apps (such as "translator" and so on)
by the way, youtube and chromecast was also no problem to install and i could send youtube to my chromecast TV without any problems.
it worked, i could install google search "ok google" + "google now", now the Fire "hears" at my voice, too.
I tried not yet all google apps, but those i choosed worked.
Now i have available my amazon apps, and my google apps, including those apps that are not available at amazon store and i bought in the past at google.
Sideload Google Framework/Playstore without root
I got my fire hd 8 and tried to install the google play store
I can't get the store to connect to the googgle servers, i followed the guide but still get the message "can't communicate with the google servers"
i couldn't find the "google framework" apk saitenguru mentions, although its not mentioned in the sideloading guide.
Any Tips?
[Edited]
solved by a couple of reboots and retries ... dunno y it works now

Tips and Tricks thread (Fire 8 & 10)
Hello I am new there, I've bought an s4 i9515 value edition running stock 5.0.1
I already rooted using king root and immediately freezed Google play services cause I do not use or need it. The problem is that play store does not open without play services activated. So I deleted play store with king root from system in attempt to install latest version in hope to run without Pservices. Right when I tap to install a downloaded play store it shows that the store I deleted is still there so I have the option to upgrade. Right now I can open the store but I cannot download anything cause it stops working.
Is there any way to delete the stock store entirely from the system? I have used an root explorer and play store is not found on system/apps. Can any of you please give me a solution to be able to reistall a proper functioning play store? Thank you. (I intend also to be able to use any store without having to activate play services which drains battery power.)
You can't use the play store without the play services. So you can scrap that idea right away.
On my previous android 4.2.1 phone i was able to use play store with play services disabled and i have not even updated the services. Anyway i think i will keep 1mobile store as default so i deleted any google service from stock system. Anyway i have not even installed gapps on actual rom. Screw these 'services'.

So I have a FTV2 that I can't root (yet... hopefully) because it's on the 5.2.4 software - but I needed Google Play Services in order to run a particular program I sideloaded. Using the info in this guide:
http://www.aftvnews.com/how-to-inst...amazon-fire-tv-or-fire-tv-stick-without-root/
I was able to get (what I believe to be) the latest working versions (for the FTV) installed. The program in question now works fine. Here's what I did (again, all credit to the above source... all I did differently is figure out and download the latest versions of each):
1) Download the following apks (I got all of these from apkmirror) and install in this order:
- com.google.android.gsf_4.0.4-488656 (this is Google Services Framework)
- com.google.android.gms_10.2.98_(030-146496160) (this is Google Play Services)
- com.google.android.gsf.login_5.1-1743759 (this is Google Account Manager)
- com.android.vending_6.8.24 (this is Google Play Store)
2) Once the above are installed, launch the Google Play Store and attempt to login. It'll fail. That's expected.
3) Hit home key and you're gtg!! Apps requireing play services should now work (at least they did for me).
I'm not sure if you have to do the play store part or even install the play store and/or the account manager, but I figured it couldn't hurt.
Hope that helps!
Didn't work for me. Still get the
"app(optus sports in my case - Australia) won't run without Google play services which are missing from your phone"
Thanks for trying to help though.

Hi All, I have just tried to install google play on my Fire TV 2 and I get an Error saying this app isn't compatiable with your device. To fix this problem, go to settings and uninstall updates for the google Play Store App. I followed your guide exactly but I am now stuck, can you offer me any advice please. (I only need google play store to download one paid app, as it does not transfer across as a full paid app with apps2fire)
FireTV Software Version:- Fire OS 5.2.4.2 (574263120)
Fire TV Home Version 5.7.3-17
Non Rooted (Really do not want to root it)
Thank you for any help

Any luck with this? I was able to get past this initial issue by installing the Android TV version of the app which allowed me to open, but I get a spinning wheel and nothing loads so I am assuming the framework files are to blame somehow.
All I want is to install a recent version of espxe! As my current version crashes when visiting the preferences screen.
Any help most appreciated!!
Solved
Solved by installing most recent version of expse by transferring apk from device to fire tv so no need to install google play on fire tv 2
I installed and I can get the app to work. It is MSG GO. Now it is asking to allow location services. Thoughts?

Hi,
I have the same FTV2 with the same 5.2.4.0.
And like you I need the Google Play Services for the same reason.
So I installed the exact versions of apks with same the order you provided.
But unfortunately when I launched Google Play Store I only got the cruel error "This app isn't compatible with your device. To fix this problem, go to settings and uninstall updates for the google Play Store App."
You mention that you downloaded the latest version (at that time). Any ideas which versions to download, since they are to many?
Thanks in advance for your kind answer!

Hi,
Can you be more specific on the solution you describe?
Thanks in advance!
Hi
My solution was that I didn't need to install the app I wanted (espxe PlayStation emulator) at all through an installation of google play. Instead I found another android device (tablet) downloaded the espxe apk on that and then copied it to the Amazon fire tv. I messed around with different framework versions but to no avail. I was able to get the 1mobile store installed a lot easier which has many apps but this didn't have the 'paid for' espxe.

The Netflix app (v7.39.0) on my HD10 7th-generation (Fire OS 5.3.7.0) stopped working, displaying the error message: "Sorry, we could not reach the Netflix service. Please try again later. (-9)".
Resetting and reinstalling the app didn't help.
Netflix works just fine on my other tablets and Roku.
Anyone else is having this issue?
Is it a consequence of the latest Fire OS update and/or Netflix app version update?
Pointers/suggestions for solution would be greatly appreciated.

Does anyone have the 7.30 Netflix app I can sideload to downgrade please?
I had this same problem, but on my wife's HD 8 (previous generation) This happened after the most recent OS Update. I would get the same message as what you got (-9). I tried all methods ... clearing cacche, data, and even uninstalled.
Read on another forum that Google Frameworks/Play maybe the culprit, so I uninstalled the four Google APKs that was necessary for Google Play store. Afterwards, Netflix works again. the funny thing is, while I still had Google Play installed, I cannot find Netflix from the Store. I had to install from Amazon Appstore.
Another interesting point .. my HD10 was not affected, I can still pull up Netflix, eventhough O/S was also updated. I haven't installed the Google files back yet, so will see it Netflix continues to work after Google Play is back.
Hope this helps!

Older versions can be found at https://apkpure.com/netflix/com.netflix.mediaclient/versions, but recent versions seem to only come in archived file format xapk (for which I have not found a simple way to install).
I installed this version of netflix:
w w w. apkmirror. com / apk/ netflix-inc/ netflix/ netflix-6-26-1-build-15-31696-release/
Is working normal even with google apps

You're right, I found these too. If you uninstall your current version and use a xapk installer app to load 7.30 it will work again. Other versions may be ok too but this is the only one I tried based on what someone posted elsewhere. I have now also turned off auto app updates in the Playstore. Apkpure do an installer.

To download APKPure xapk files, use the APKPure app available at https://apkpure.com/apkpure/com.apkpure.aegon. I found that if I download an xapk file to my PC then copy it over to my HD then I would get parsing error using the XAPK Installer app (available at https://apkpure.com/xapk-installer/com.apkpure.installer) to install it.
Once an xapk file is downloaded to the tablet it can be installed using either the APKPure app itself or the XAPK Installer app.
My mistake ... My HD10 Netflix was eventually updated to version 7.39 and it did not work afterward. I uninstalled the Google Apps (Framework/Services/Play store) and Netflix works again. I then re-installed the Google Apps, but while Netflix continues to work, the Google Apps no longer function. It has an "error reaching server ... blah,blah" message.
Seems like you either get Netflix, or Google Play store, but not both. For now, I uninstalled the Google services.

I uninstalled v7.39 and installed v7.38, the Netflix service unreachable error went away.
Good idea!
Do you have a link to 7.38 APK? appreciated it! TY!

Link to Netflix v7.38 xapk file download.
See my post above re: xapk file installation.
Definitely has something to do with the Google stuff. I uninstalled the play store, it started working. I reinstall the play store it breaks again. Perhaps it's Amazon's version of the app that's checking for non Amazon app stores? Very interesting. Perhaps if we could get Netflix from the Google play store that could fix the issue. But for some odd reason it doesn't show up.
Edit: just to confirm, I only had to uninstall the play store. Not everything. I guess i can always install the play store when i need to install something new.
My Solution for this Problem was to install Netflix 7.38 via the APKPure App and i disabled auto-update for the Amazon Appstore, the Play Store can keep auto-updating since as far as it is concerned Netflix isn't installed on the device so it won't try to update it. Also for the ones that weren't aware, if an App is marked as incompatible with an Android Version it won't appear in the Play Store of Devices with those Android versions and it appears that the Netflix App is marked as incompatible with the FireOS versions, thus you can't download it via the Play Store. At least that is my understanding of how it works.
So far Netflix works just fine and my Fire just notified me that the Amazon Appstore would like to update it but i just swiped it to the side and ignored it, we'll see how it'll work out.
Has anyone tried the latest Netflix update released on 02/22?

Hi everyone,
I've installed an app via an .apk file on my fire hd 8 (7th gen). Unfortunately, it can't be launched without google play store "The version of the GooglePlay services on the device is not authentic. Please install a valid version".
I am trying to avoid Google services.
I've tried to install my app via Aurora Store, but i get the same error message.
I've also tried sideloading it via toolbox, same result.
Is there any alternative to make my application work on the tablet without having google play store installed?
If not, i will use the firetoolbox to install it. After installing the PlayStore, is there a way to completely uninstall it from my device un the future? Finally, do i need to create an account with my personnal info in order to download any app on the googleplaystore?
Thanks all in advance for your help and tips !! :good:

Before you uninstall or re-install Google Play store and other Google services. You can disable the Google Play services from device administrator.
You can use MicroG
