I'm running rbox's Prerooted Stock Image[5.2.6.2_r1] with Halauncher and amazon launcher disabled. I would like to install Playstore. Should I follow steps 4,5,6 from this thread? https://forum.xda-developers.com/fire-tv/general/root-enable-leanback-laucher-t3783504 or is there a better way of doing it? Thanks for any help.
The reason I wanted to install Playstore was some apps have a playstore dependency. I solved it by installing this Google Play Services com.google.android.gms_11.9.75_230-182402865. All is well.

How do I install google play services and play store on a moto x style? I bought this in china and it does not have play services. I managed to get other Gapps. I'm not aware about root/flash. Is there a simple method?

@Rotondo: thanks for the quick reply! I've tried tons of apks on apk mirror and tried aptoide, but it keeps saying the same thing. 'Unfortunately google play services has stopped.' I've tried reinstalling , etc. What do you suggest?

if your moto has android 6.0
I think you need root for Google Play services. Google play services requires being a system app and there may be some other library files it requires. Google play services can be updated after it is already a system app but it can't be just installed as one.
I have had similar issues with the kindle fire. I had to root to get play services and the play store on that. Once you root it can be very easy. Just get a g-apps zip and flash it. There is a chance that depending on the model number you might be able to flash an official restore file that already has it but I doubt it.

Thanks for the help! It's been a while, but I got my phone rooted and it seems to be the only way to get Gapps.
Gapp file error
Just wanted to add somewhere so someone might find it that if you run into a "no 5md file found, file is corrupt" thing, you could just search for other recommended gapp file to flash/install on the phone, that's what i learnt from another comment and it worked Also i had to root my phone too to install the google apps.
Excuse me,
I had moto x style and have the same problem,
What should i do step by step?

Unlock the bootloader and flash TWRP, then flash a current Gapps package from opengapps.org
The Unlocking can only be done through Moto's site, and there are a half-dozen tutorials on how to install TWRP and root, take your pick.
So I did this once before and it ended up with a few apps force quitting on startup. Looking at a log cat it seems like they were unable to open android system webview I tried installing that form the app store with no dice.
Does anyone here know if it's possible to remove the google bloat and just install everything from the play store out of the things you need?
Stock OOS already has Google apps included. What exactly are you trying to accomplish by flashing Gapps over Google apps that are already installed?
This has worked with me GApps .
I'm curious if this is possible with the stock rom any of my current attempts seems to fail with apps not being able to load properly.
I'm assuming there are some dependencies and it's not possible to remove all the gapps from the stock rom only to replace them with the apps from opengapps.
main reason is I don't want things like google movies / chrome / the google app and most things that you can get from the app store I rather just install the app store version but I'm thinking that might not be possible or it would be a bad idea to try this on a stock rom. Even if it is rooted.
Why you don’t Just disable this app.
If you are rooted there is a debloater app for stock OOS. You flash it in TWRP, an Aroma installer comes up and you can pick which Google and OP system apps and some non essential services that you would like to uninstall. It works very well.

Aroma debloater seems to have been removed but thanks for the link. I'll check around in that forum.

I already have a lot of the gapps disabled but on my previous phone I was on a custom rom and I prefered just not having the app entirely.

FireTV-Settings 3.0 Mod Root works on Tank and Mantis without Amazon Launcher
based on https://github.com/rainman74/FireTV-Settings/releases
install as normal APK.
Root is needed.
NewSettingsGerRoot.apk = German
NewSettingsEngRoot.apk = English
FireTV-SettingsGer.zip = Android Studio Zip German
FireTV-SettingsEng.zip = Android Studio Zip English
Feel free to customize it for whatever works best for you! ...

Ok so the apk file is unnecessary with root since the zip is in charge of that correct? This is actually interesting considering that the Amazon Launcher being disabled with root therefore losing functionality to accessing settings unless you were to use adb commands.
Edit: the apk was supposed to be installed, works 100%

Questions...
So does the Zip need to be flashed?
Then install the APK?
Is the Amazon launcher disable by doing this, or do I have to disable that myself?
Can you easily remove it?
The Zip file is for customize.
SourceCode for Android Studio.
You must disable it .
OK so disable
com.amazon.tv.launcher
?
1. install APK
2. Flash zip ( for customize if you want)
3. disable launcher
The zip, what does it modify and how do you go back?
Sorry for the questions, just want to know what to expect if i have an issue...
Install other Launcher.
For mantis maybe you need FTVLaunchX to start the alternate Launcher.
#adb shell pm disable com.amazon.tv.launcher
Install apk to access the settings without amazon Launcher.
The Zip the SourceCode to build apk.
I hope it is understandable now
Thanks bro, this works perfect with ATV Launcher 0.1.2 now i can access amazon built-in apps on 4k stick.
Thanks for this.
Couple of queries:
Lots of icons on my custom launcher. But all start off at sleep. Is this normal? If so why so many icons?
The command to disable the amazon launcher is not working and I do have root. Any ideas?
Edit: Not to worry about the above. I found a new version that gives me just the one icon
Also found the instructions to delete the amazon launcher so that is good.
Only problem that some might have is installing new apps from the amazon marketplace (or whatever they call it).
Any ideas about how to do this?
Use this Version.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=82368799&postcount=1
Amazon Market is not working.
You must sideload the apps.
Also you can push the apps over the Amazon Website to your Stick.
App Updates should be installed automatic.

Thanks for that.
I manage a lot of these sticks. Most I know the Amazon accounts for so will use the web site to push to them if they request new apps.
I will ask for the other account details but if they wont provide them I will send them to the website to install themselves if they want new apps.
It seems Amazon pushed out a new prime Video app today (or I was told about it today) that asks it you want to install it.
Was told it no longer works with this setup if it is installed. Was fine yesterday and no prompt to update then.
Might be a problem with the Prime Video app in general and not this setup, but all my sticks are running these fixes now.
Just tested on one and it is true. Trying to open Prime Video does nothing. Tried both the icons for it (one never worked but now both do not).
Will see if I can roll it back (once I find the original apk).
Thanks for this. So nice not to see the Amazon Launcher at all now.
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:
