Update Prime Video? - Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Anyone figure out a way to update Prime Video? The app installed with the stock rom is pretty old and missing some features. I have tied to uninstall it and install the latest apk from the play store or apk mirror, but no luck. It installs fine but when you try to open the app it just flashes and then closes. Installing as a system app doesn't help either. Any ideas? This is on a rooted 2017 HD 10

I borked Hangouts, can't video chat

Somehow with all the googlevideo libs and all this other stuff from KitKat, I borked my hangouts. I have tried installing the old 1.x version, and the new 2.x version from KitKat, plus the new 2.x version from the play store, and I can't video chat at all. Any tips on what to look for in a logcat? I tried using LOGGY and viewing the logcat on my PC in chrome, but I don't know what to look for. I also installed a bunch of /system/lib files to get Google Text To Speech to work, but I don't think that has anything to do with my hangouts issue.
delete the nexus 5.lib and uninstall hangouts, get the newest .122 update
DO you have Viper audio installed?
Uninstall the viper audio driver , reboot and your good to go.

I'll be damned, it was Viper4Android. Uninstalled and now videochat works!

Getting Google Play Store on international Samsung Galaxy Note 4 (China)

Hello. I just got the China version of Samsung Galaxy Note 4 (SM-N9100).
It doesn't come with a Google Play store. How do I go about installing the Google Play Store?
I downloaded the 5.0.32 version apk of Google Play store, and I installed it.
But when I run it, it closes or crashes. I found that apk by searching these forums.
So I was wondering if I needed to do something to make it work?
For HTC One I simply looked up Google gms in the HTC Marketplace and installed it, which ended up adding all of the Google stuff (including Google Play).
The Note 4 phone comes with a Galaxy Apps, but searching inside it does not have a Google Play installer (nor Google gms equivalent).
So my question is:
Do I need to root my Samsung Galaxy Note 4 in order to get Google Play to run? It currently closes or crashes when I try to run it.
Did I install an incompatible apk for my Samsung Galaxy Note 4?
Again I am referring to the China version of Galaxy Note 4 (SM-N9100 model)
Hi, I have the same problem also. SM-N9100 does not support google play store, youtube, etc. I guess all china andriod phones is banned from access these apps. The only way out is to install another rom. Please let me know if a suitable rom is available. Thanks.
Samsung N9100
hi all,
In have the same issue. I rooted my N9100 and installed Google play services, google services framework onto the system / app folder. Changed the file permission to a system app but still wasn't able to get it running. There's an error that says the Google services framework can't be run. Maybe I install a wrong version ? Anyone can shed some light and point me to the right apk ?
There are two ways to do it
Method 1) Typical GMS pack includes a lot of junk/google bloatware:
  1、GenieWidget.apk
  2、GoogleBackupTransport.apk
  3、Gmail.apk
  4、GoogleCalendarSyncAdapter.apk
  5、GoogleContactsSyncAdapter.apk
  6、GoogleFeedback.apk
  7、GooglePartnerSetup.apk
  8、GoogleQuickSearchBox.apk
  9、GoogleServicesFramework.apk
  10、LatinIMETutorial.apk
  11、Maps.apk
  12、MarketUpdater.apk
  13、MediaUploader.apk
  14、NetworkLocation.apk
  15、SetupWizard.apk
  16、Street.apk
  17、Talk.apk
  18、Vending.apk
  19、VoiceSearch.apk
  20、YouTube.apk
so install only the apks that you need
These apks below are required in order for Play to work:
GoogleBackupTransport.apk
GoogleFeedback.apk
GoogleServicesFramework.apk
MarketUpdater.apk
Talk.apk
Vending.apk
Copy com.android.vending.apk from \data\app to \system\app\, then turn on “Owner, Group, Other" permissions for it
Method 2)
Go to http://dl.pconline.com.cn/download/86344.html and download a auto install pack
Note:
I have not tested both methods!!
You CANNOT uninstall google framework and other bloatware once gms is installed
If you live in China and don't have VPN, don't even bother with since its all blocked
No success with Method 2 on the Note 4 (9106w). It installed it but I kept getting a Google Frameworks Stopped working error. I was able to log into my Google Account and open the Play Store but could not get a network connection. In the end I disabled Google Frameworks.
Will try to flash TWRB with Odin tomorrow.

So did you install the Method 2 app AND the app from the link you added. Hence, do I need to install both apps?

I downloaded a 44+ mb file. After unzipping it on my phone I saw a folder with many files. Did you move all the files into similar folders on your phone? I installed the apk packages and regretted it. No success so I imagine I should be using adb to push them to the proper folders.
Any hints would be helpful.
Hi,
Can I check with Samsung note 4 you tried on ? I am using N9100 rooted and just tried the link you provided i.e. V1.5. I installed it, followed the screen instructions and the phone rebooted. Upon reboot an update was run. Unfortunately, Google frame work services and stopped. No luck. I wonder was is the issue.

Hi,
Can I check with you which Samsung note 4 model do you have and worked ? I am using Samsung Note 4 model N9100 (rooted) and just tried the link you provided i.e. V1.5. I installed it, followed the screen instructions and the phone rebooted. Upon reboot an update was run. Unfortunately, I got the "Google frame work services and stopped". No luck. I wonder what is the issue ? I check the file permissions of the Google Services Framework and it was consistent with the rest of the apk files in system/app
I got the same problem. After rooting and install V1.5, I can install and open the google playstore. But there are nothing in the playstore..except retry icon.

Few questions about future software updates (Lollipop) since I've been away from Samsung for a while:
1. Rooting will trip Knox, right?
2. If yes, OTA updates won't work - would I still be able to flash via Odin or CWM?
Not sure if I will definitely root yet due to warranty issues so soon after buying.
As noted above, Google stuff here is a pain at times even with a VPN (location options don't work so Google Now is less useful).
Plus, I've become used to getting apps from the Samsung and Amazon stores instead.

Flashable Moto Camera and how to update it

Hey guys!
I just flashed a Moto Camera zip for my Moto G4, I am using Lineage OS on it's last version.
The app works just fine! But it's an old version, so here's my question:
How can I update it? Of course I can't from the store. Maybe I have to uninstall the app and then flash a new version (Wich I can't found yet)
Also I'm not sure how to uninstall the app, since now it's like a system app. I've been trying to delete the APK but I can't find it in the system/app folder.
Thanks in advance!

It should be located in /data/app. Or maybe /system/priv-app. Check both to make sure. You could also dirty flash the ROM build you're currently using to restore /system.
You won't be able to update it unless someone tinkers with the most recent .apk release for Moto Camera to make it compatible with your ROM.

[HD 10] Third party prime video does not work

I rooted and unlocked my FireHD 10 2017.
After disabling every Amazon bloat, I wanted to install Prime Video from the Playstore. In order to get rid of any package conflict, I removed prime video folder provided in /system/priv-app. I can successfully install prime video from Playstore but it only launches for two or three seconds and then it crashes. Logcat doesn't show any interesting log.
Is there anyone who know what could cause this? I really want to keep prime video updated so I like the Playstore variation.

Unfortunately, no. You can always restore stock FireOS to grab a copy.

No luck yet... I tried to change device fingerprint but it seems like that doesn't help at all :/ There might be some system restrictions but I can't figure out what exactly it is.
I'm in the same boat, gifted the device to my mother and now she wants to watch movies on Prime Videos but couldn't make it work.

Hello, I have made a factory reset. Then I updated the software. And then I removed the Amazon interface again, but left the Amazon Store. From there I was able to install Prime.

Why do you wanna have the root version?
If you take the non root version it works also great and it's enough to disable youtube.
I have root so I prefer to use that version. Even if I only disable YouTube and install the root version via vanced manager, when I reboot it disappear.
No one, please?
I don't think you need to remove the stock versions, just uninstall their updates and Vanced will install on top of it

I recently installed the latest oneplus update and the version of the installed youtube is higher that the vanced version. Hence I cannot update it with vanced version. Any clue how to remove it. I tried a root uninstaller yet it was to no avail. Any clues?
