Just wanted to let anyone know that if you have a USB keyboard plugged in, you can press Ctrl+Alt+Shift+D to bring up the debug info which shows the buffering and playing bitrate, and your last measured download speed along with a plethora of other info (while playing a Netflix video).
very cool

thanks i love detailed info ,
Thanks!
Since Netflix on the Fire TV doesn't support other countries than the US (even with unblock us), this might give me more info regarding why, will have to borrow a USB keyboard now.
adb logcat only gave me cert-errors while trying to play UK netflix or alike, looks like Amazon locked it down a bit more

I got netflix working with "unlocator". I live in the EU and had to set the DNS in my router. That made it work. I downloaded latest netflix from the store and sideloaded that app, but it's made for touch controls. Atleast the old netflix is working.

What exactly works w/ unlocator? US netflix works for me as well using unblock us, problem is in the local UK/NL versions, they don't work with the stock Netflix app. The side loaded version indeed does work, see my post in the Q&A section. ( to get around touch controls limitations, first start on your phone/tablet, then on the sideloaded netflix)
Still kinda stuck on local (NL/UK) Netflix w/ stock app, or are you saying this works with unlocator ?
Living in Brazil and I'm using Netflix without any modifications at all. Just had to move my amazon app account to US so I could download the Netflix app.

Yeah, Fire TV Netflix supports all Americas countries (US,CA,BR,AR,CO etc), but no European ones, even with unblock us and alike. Gives Java certificate chain errors. Too bad for now.
European Netflix supported after latest firmware update...
I am running FireOS 4.5.3 on Fire HDX 7" and it is not (and never has been) rooted.
Settings > Applications > Apps from unknown sources is On
I have the file manager with zip support installed.
Uninstall any versions of the 5 apks mentioned below.
Download this zip file:
https://mega.co.nz/#!OItCnSSA!VqBqlbwUa3h5VR0bmIXmRVBq4UeYo5bhBmzmflml3Vk
Open or extract it and install the apks in this order:
account manager 4.0.3
framework 4.0.4
play services 7.3.29
playstore 4.3.10
youtube 10.16.53
Reboot the tablet.
Go to youtube and you should get that normal google account login screen.
Login and presto! There you have it latest youtube apk with sign in ability.
Hasn't crashed on me (yet), but play store does not work (I've tried a few versions).
Yes I am aware of that youtube app with the blue icon in the amazon app store but I wasn't satisfied with it.
I haven't tried any other google apps yet with this combo.
I really hope this works for others. I just spent the last 5-6 hours figuring this out and it's now nearly 2am.
works for me
Youtube works.
Not for playstore gmail.
Oh that's cool I'm glad it's worked for others.
I just wanted to give something back to this forum cause I've gone to it so many times myself.
Found a gmail apk that works
Don't want to burst your bubble, but someone already figured out how to get YouTube to work on unrooted devices (along with other Google apps): http://forum.xda-developers.com/kindle-fire-hdx/themes-apps/how-to-install-gapps-root-t2954372

Chrome should work regardless of framework (at least it did last time I tried). If not try Opera. Same underlying engine (Chromium) with a different skin.

That command is for Google+ to work. It's not needed if you don't use G+. But at least you provided newer versions.
Is it just me, or does doing this break other apps? Skype won't work properly (no contacts or message history), TuneIn radio won't even get past the initial screen. Why is this happening? Sorry I'm new to this stuff.
I should add that uninstalling these packages then causes everything to work again, so it does seem to be causing it.

Installing Google framework/services/store/etc on Fire OS is always a crap shoot as Amazon has its own set of conflicting services. Many get it to work (at least partially) while others experience problems. Installing framework/services on an unrooted device presents additional challenges....but also adds a layer of safety as you can typically install/experiment/uninstall without serious consequences. Unfortunately, I don't have an answer to your current situation; responding to "why is this happening?". You'll probably get it to work eventually with help from others.
That makes sense. I did manage to get Skype 5.1 working but anything after that breaks. Must have added a new feature since then that gets into that services conflict you mention. No luck with TuneIn, though I found an alternative for that.
Any word on a working play store app? Wife got a Fire Tablet today on 4.5.3 and so far its unrootable and most google things arent working. Thinking about a new tablet at this point.

If your family is looking for unfettered access to the play store you should definitely look for another device. It will be awhile before alternative roms become available to newer Kindles and most play store implementations are hacks at best. While the hardware is wonderful you really have to be wed to the Amazon ecosystem to truly appreciate the device (or be fortunate enough to have an 'older' model that can be rooted/unlocked and run a Google friendly rom).

I appreciate the frank reply. I was able to set her up with Chrome and Gmail which were her main concerns. The 1Mobile 3rd party marketplace had any of the other apps she was looking for. I also finished moving all her books over so she's going to take it for a spin this weekend when we head to the beach for a night and see how it goes.

If you are comfortable with 1moble (one of my favorite 'alternative' marketplaces) then many of the shortcomings inherent with the Amazon store can be mitigated. Chrome (more often Gmail) can get fussy without google services/framework. Opera is a nice alternative that utilizes the same core engine as Chrome. Gmail is a little tougher to directly emulate; plenty of alternatives if the Gmail app coughs up a fur ball (I happen to like Aquamail). You really don't need root but if you choose to do so Xposed framework adds a few nice touches that can further tame an HDX without compromising native functionality.
Hope it works out for you folks.
You can run Google services framework without root. People have been having issues with the newer builds however. If it does not work for you, try build version 7.0.99.

That will work for now (thanks @lekofraggle for the tip) but be aware Google is quickly adapting apps to leverage capabilities introduced in newer builds of services framework. For now that appears confined to Maps and Google Now (eg: card features) and primarly targets Lollipop.
You are welcome. I know about the impending issue with Google play services. Hopefully they fix the issues soon. Google maps works for now but complains.

Fire TV /Stick are good with Amazon's ecosystem but with this method you can add any app or game you want from the play store
This method was tested on Fire Tv Stick but it should work with any Fire Tv device.

Good tutorial but I didn't do any of that to install MOD EDIT - Removed? Thought you found a workaround to get Google Play Store working....MOD EDIT - Removed is a great alternative to the Play Store though.
thanks for the tutorial
You are welcome... It's true that if you don't need apps that ask for google services you can jute use MOD EDIT - Removed app, but that will limit your app selection to almost half of google play store

Hello inwisso,
Thanks for your Great tutorial and for the workaround to get the Google Play Store working on the Fire Phones !
However I have noticed that if I install the "Google Play Service" from the 3er link:
http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google...ices-8-1-14-2244331-030-android-apk-download/
Although the newest APPs from Google, like:
YouTube v10.37.58
Google-Drive v2.3.283.31.34
Are now working flawlessly, some streaming APPs stopped working, and also sometime the FireTV freezes and also Crashes...
Apparently the version of "Google Play Services" of the 3rd link, is affecting in some way the smooth work and the normal functionality of the FireTV units ... Use with caution !
So, I was forced to use only the 4 Google APPs from the 1st link, and I have decided not to update the "Google Play Service" to a newer version:
https://onedrive.live.com/?cid=73036323a69e3cf1&id=73036323A69E3CF1!1484&authkey=!AIVXLFXAOWDeM0Q
Does Anyone here has experienced the same strange behaviors on their FireTV, or has tested any of the following latest versions:
Google Play Store_5.9.12 Released September 15, 2015)
Google Play services_8.1.15 (Released September 15, 2015)
Google Play services 8.1.18 (Released September 26, 2015)
Thanks, if you guys find a better performing "google play services" version I can update the link.
Are you using fire tv or fire tv stick ?
Inwisso, I'll try to test various versions of the "Google Play Services" APP, and let you know what works best ...
However, as the new YouTube and Google-Drive APPs requires the latest version of "Google Play Services ", I doubt that these two are going to work.

For YouTube viewing there's always the "YouTube for Android TV" app.
Can't login, but it works well enough, I find v1.0.5.5 works best as the latest v1.1.16 crashes on the Fire TV Stick.
http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google-inc/youtube-for-android-tv/youtube-1-0-5-5-android-apk-download/
As I said before, it is that apps like YouTube and Google Drive, that have been updated most recently, all need to run the latest version of "Google Play Service," but unfortunately when installed then affects others FireTV APPs, that worked well before.
Hopefully with the NEW upcoming FireOS -5 "Bellini", that will be released in October 5 to all the FireTV Models, and that is based on Android 5.1 Lollipop (API level 22), we could then have more compatibility with all newer APPs.
http://www.aftvnews.com/fire-os-5-with-alexa-coming-to-1st-gen-fire-tv-and-fire-tv-stick-in-october/
https://developer.amazon.com/public...re-tv/docs/device-and-platform-specifications
Who knows, maybe we could also install some new APPs Exclusive for Android-TV and launchers, as the "Android-TV Leanback Launcher":
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.leanbacklauncher
http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google...-launcher-1-1-2-1994870-android-apk-download/
So then we have to wait to October 5, to see what it is and how this FireOS-5 "Bellini" works.
I really hope Amazon has been able to do an excellent job with this new version of the FireOS-5, and that they will come with some new things and fixes !!

Thank you for the tutorial. I tried it but I can never get Google Play to connect.
This is my second stick. I returned my previous stick and got the Google Nexus.
I won this one and thought I would give it it a try. Maybe there was a patch between the posting and Dec 2nd.
I also had the stick lock up and had to unplug it and let it reboot.
Can someone who has Google Play store working on Fire TV/Stick confirm if Vudu app works or not?
Thanks!
Would this work on fire tv 2?

Yes I have similar issues. I have Fire TV BOX and I just side load connecting the box to my PC over Ethernet. No problems there I can get the files over.
The problem is that some programs work fine with Google Chrome to browse the web which is really cool...
but.....
On a lot of apps like "Vice" / Viceland TV, it boots up then says something like "your version of Google Play Services is not compatible please uninstall it" So anyway I can get the latest Google Play Services .apk but look there are 28 VARIANTS! http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google-inc/google-play-services/google-play-services-9-8-77-release/
How do I know which variant I have on my FireTV BOX of Android that the Amazon front end is running on?
Is there just a simple Google Play Store and Google Play Services I can download once and it will auto-update?
Thanks
I have tried with no success installing Google Play services and Google Play store on my FireTV BOX.
FireTV BOX version Fire OS 5.2.1.1 and I have no problem getting the apk's to my device by side-loading over Ethernet using adbLink and adbLink works find for all other app, so it must be either I need to be rooted or I have the wrong Google Play Store and Google Play Service .apk's
Can anyone help me one this with my FireTV BOX version to get Google Play Services and Google Play store on my device so I can run apps which require Google Play Services?
Thanks
I wonder have any of you ever thought to disable the "Not In My Home" (com.amazon.tv.nimh.apk) service? I gather it's a fairly new (Firmware 5.2.1.1), thing. In case you haven't worked out what this does it basically blocks (from Amazon's POV), unwanted Apps.
Now I'll confess to not having bothered to do my Homework in this, myself. There seems to be little hope that this is the one thing keeping Google Play Services, and by proxy the PlayStore off the Fire TV2, but I haven't seen anything that dismisses it either.
But, the idea that One could in theory, at least side load the Leanback Frameworks onto such a Device, has at least given me some hope that I might be able to get it working on some Chinese Box. One of these days.
I suppose, a better question to ask here, considering I still a noob to this AFTV2 Box; Would be did either of Google's Services / PlayStore, even ever work on the AFTV2?
someone has managed to fix it? i had an apk called mega tv player runing perfect until yesterday that my fire stick was factory reseted by mistake, now i can't load the app or any other apk that ask for google play services.
MOD EDIT - Removed has older apks of apps if you need them (currently a reliable site, but don't blame me once they start distributing rootkits.. ) - also, there are at least two methods out there to patch play service dependencies "out of" apps I know of.
Google and find out.

Hello Everyone!
I have been able to get my Xfinity TV Go app working on the FTV.
1. Download the Xfinity.apk [Mediafire]
2. Buy or Download the "Mouse Toggle for Fire TV" [Google Play - $2.99]
3. Install Mouse Toggle on an android device (tablet or phone) and make sure you are on the same network as the FTV stick.
4. Follow instructions on the Mouse Toggle app (EXTREMELY SIMPLE)
5. Install the Xfinity.apk to the FTV via ADB
6. Open the Xfinity app on the FTV
7. If the Mouse Toggle installed and is running QUICKLY double tap <PLAY/PAUSE> and you will see a cursor on the screen. Move it with the D-Pad and select Username/Email
8. Login with your Comcast Account
9. Profit?
I have done this and it 100% works! It is still a bit of a pain to have to switch to D-Pad mode to scroll and the Mouse Mode to select but all in all it works!
Thanks and any comments/feedback is greatly appreciated!
Or just use a mouse ...

Yes you could but not everyone has a Bluetooth mouse. And for a cheaper one is 5 to 10 usd while the app is $2.99. Also it is easier to just use the supplied remote instead of multiple devices.
But to each their one.
@AndroidDeveloper4Life
Great guide write-up. Been using the Mouse Toggle since last year. Once you get use to it. It will become second nature to switch back and forth.
Are any of your FTV's rooted ? If so, is XFinity blocking playback on rooted devices ? Are you live streaming from XFinity on a FTV Stick ? Is it smooth? Asking because the ATT Uverse app has been pain if your rooted or overall too.
Thanks.
I do not have a rooted fire tv stick but will get one of the 3 in the house done soon. But it is great quality live streaming (about 1 min behind normal cable). Looks great almost HD quality. We have the 2nd step plan on the Cable (sorry it doesn't give a name online), and we also have the sports addon and everything works great. Of course it will take a min for it to reach HD quality upon loading a channel. But have access to 70+ channels and probably like 90+ if we had HBO, Showtime and all that. But it works great! A he|| alot better than Kodi live tv!
I have a rooted Fire TV 2 and the Xfinity apps work fine for me. Been using these apps for months now,

Great, will get an account from a friend to try it out. Haven't tried XFinity for close to two years. Glad they got their act together.
Also my bad experience might also be due to FireOS 3 vs FireOS 5. Since all my rooted FTV's are 1st Gen & are still on FireOS 3 waiting for an update.
Tried Uverse on a stock FTV Stick but there where still problems with both Amazon & PlayStore versions of the app.
What version of the XFinity app are your two using?
The Xfinity apps are great but it would be nice if they had D-Pad/button support. Like stated earlier, get that mouse ready!

Have been using & am used to the Mouse Toggle for Fire TV app since Nov. of last year. So no worries if a mouse is needed. Used to have some Logitech M325's hooked up to my 1st Gens. Don't anymore. I really like the scrolling options of the Mouse Toggle for Fire TV.

So does this really work on a nonrooted firetv stick running any software os3 or latest os5? Does it continue to work today( a couple months later)?
I'm trying to find out if I need a rooted ftv to play xfinity tv go app or is any nonrooted ftv1,2,or stick fine?
I tried it with a new cheap Android box but kept getting error 3322 on all the channels.

The tv go app still works, it just gives you an error on the home screen. You can still go to Live and search for content to watch. As far as the xfinity tv app goes you'll need to find an older version like 3.2.0.016 which works.

I know it still works, but is there ever going to be a time that it doesn't? It appears Comcast made the new app not function on a firestick or something. A little disturbing for the future...
So when I go to live tv now in the app all the channels have been removed and it says to get the new xfinity tv app and they have stopped supporting xfinity tv go.
I installed the latest xfinity tv app but it just ends up crashing every time. Any help?
Just install Kodi and then install the Exodus add-on.
You'll be able to watch every tv show and movie (that I've searched for) for free.
Also in better quality than Comcast. I have the X1 box and it looks like 720p resolution.
The difference is clear when you stream Amazon or Netflix at 1080p.
This doesn't answer the question at hand and yes it is another solution. What we are asking here is has anyone been able to get the current xfinity tv app to work on the firestick?
I actually got the new xfinity app to work on my fire tv, BUT i can't log in because it says you need internet explorer to log in. I used version 3.2.0.016 and i also tried the two versions after this version and they worked, BUT will not let you sign in your account. Is there any way i can download the app log in on my computer and then side load the app to the fire tv. I'm sure someone will figure this out. the tv go said they are not going to have it anymore, you can still watch some on demand movies on it, but no live TV.

Thank you very much for this app. I sideloaded on my FTVS and it works great with Spotify. Unfortunately I can't detect it with any other app like Chrome / Youtube... Is this app able to cast only sound?
I was able to test it with chrome tab cast and screen mirroring from Windows computer
Install Google Home on your tablet, phone, whatever and go to cast screen.
This works great. Just gonna keep stuff like roms\emulators on my tablet primarily now.
Thank you!
Hi, thanks for apk. Unfortunately it doesn't work for me. I have installed your apk and googleHome Cast app. Moreover i installed the google play service for android tv. On my phone and my PC i can see the new "tv-stick-chromecast-device", but i don't can see anything if i try to send something from Phone or PC to the Stick. After opening the Chromecast app i tried to go to cast screen, but there is no device found. What i'm doing wrong, please help me. Thank you.
greetings
Sideloaded also and works perfect!!
Works perfect for me on fire stick 2nd gen nice one is it a full one or a trial ?
VERY cool!
It took me several times to get it to cast but it is works.
I hope this app sticks around longer than the last Google cast app for AFTV.
Does this app require Play Store/Services on the Fire TV device?

no you can install it right away
Hi josuelopezv:
What's so shameful. Developers give you a convenient to install android box without Google Play Service since you said you already buy it from Google PlayStore. But you leak it as piracy and don't think how many times developers spend to implement the Cast Protocol in house.

I thought this is forbidden/illegal? Shouldnt this thread or at least the APK have been deleted?
I do not have a problem to buy any app that has the right functionality.
Im just not used to see pirated content on here(?)
There is nothing illegal about this.

This doesn't seem to allow cast of youtube. It works fine for everything else though. Was hoping to use this for a workaround for the upcoming youtube app removal.

Same here. Casting from YouTube via Chrome on my laptop doesn't work but casting the whole screen does (never found a use for that though since the quality and latency make it pretty useless)
Yeah since I found a work around for the coming youtube/fire armageddon I'm not concerned. How are you casting the whole screen btw?

I use Google Home to steam everything and haven't had a hiccup. Even games work fine.
Thanks! I'll give this a shot. How is the apk in this thread different than the one in the play store?
Thanks for posting this. Is there any way to support the developer as this appears to be a premium version?

Why don't you find out for yourself? Kinda seems like a complete waste of time to register just to say this.
This appears to run as a chromecast receiver & NOT as a chromecast Audio receiver. I'm not sure why Google differentiates them but it would be nice to have a toggle in this app.
