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.

Could you upload an apk? Is it just the apk or are there any other tweaks you did?

Here is an arm 64 bit version for our Honor 8's. Let us all know how it goes.
Update: Too large to upload. So here is the link from apkmirror. Of course, one uses at their own risk.
http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google...p-6-13-5-16-alpha-arm64-android-apk-download/
How in the world did you get that working? Installing this apk just updates the version of the Google app I had.. I don't have any personalization in the settings window.
Nothing changed for me. Maybe it's because I have UK English or something else, but I'm running Nougat on my Honor 8, so not sure what else it could be.
Changed to US English and cleared the local data cache. Made no difference...
Any ideas?
Yes, very interesting.
I tried installing that too, but didn't work for me.
I think people are trying to figure out what triggers it. Could be location, language, some combination of settings, or some lucky number in the IMEI.
But hey, that's cool, enjoy it.
Hopefully it will roll out to everyone soon.
Still nothing on mine. Have tried all sorts.
Has anyone else gotten this to work by installing the Google Alpha that was linked? If so, what did you do to get it working?

Which model did you have ? pixel launcher?
Common sense that, this kind of apk need to be install in system app folder to make it work.

FRD-L09C432B360 (UK phone), and I'm running Action Launcher 3. However, I did install the latest release of Pixel Launcher, in case it's tied into that, but didn't make any difference.
My last phone was a Titan or Moto G2 XT1068. In that, I rooted the stock ROM and tried uninstalling gapps but it went into bootloop. Only if I installed a third party launcher, uninstall gapps except Google, and then after a successful reboot I uninstall Google, it used to work. But mostly, the home screen never showed after uninstalling Google.
My question to you guys is
How can you get rid of gapps from Athene running latest stock rom? I tried System App Remover, but it kept failing. I rooted my phone with phh's superuser.
Pls help
Have you tried this debloater script in the Mods section? https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g4-plus/themes/stock-rom-debloater-t3729594
As always, back up your device before using.

AFAIK stock ROM comes with Google Now Launcher, and removing Google app with cause force close to Now Launcher, (may be because of Google widget or side screen??)
You can remove google app from /system/priv-app or /system/apps (don't know exact place and folder name.)
Also remove google now launcher and install other launcher or use flashable launcher installer zip (like trebuchet or others) available on other XDA forums..
After it, wipe delvik and cache from TWRP, also take backup before proceeding to remove anything..

Hit uninstall for this app in titanium backup. I recommend to freeze it for the first time if you are not sure about the impact

You cannot use Google keyword search and other things that you might want to use from Google. So easy way: freeze it, test everything, then decide if it should be deleted or not.

I got 1 more question. If I remove all the Google apps from my phone, will it still function properly?

Depends what you mean with function properly... For example: Google play store is also a Google app. You need a third party app store like F-Droid or install every app separate per apk file.
Living without Google is possible, but you should decide. There's no yes or no in terms of recommendations. Only minor apps are outside the Google play store available.

Is the Convert User app to System app part of Titanium Backup Pro, or is it in the free version too? I'm not sure how up to date this page is, which suggests this feature is only in the premium paid version: https://www.titaniumtrack.com/titanium-backup.html
Still, it's such a useful tool it's worth buying the premium version for

It's only in the premium version this app is the best you can have if you are a flashaholic and worth the money. I have it since 2010 and it's my #1 app :good:
Your Device can run fine without google Search & Google now launcher.
I've made a zip file for that, try it out. But remember to install and make some other launcher as default before flashing this zip.

Thanks man!
So what happened is this. I installed the mod apk and also tried the normal one of titanium backup. All of them keep stopping and never open up. Why is this happening?
hey! is there a bug free version of youtube for the fire tablet?
the official youtube apk keeps freezing when I switch to my subscriptions and the one Amazon provides is worse than the mobile website!
Get the Google Play framework/services/account manager/store APK files on your device, then just download the official YouTube tablet app from there.
YouTube and most other Google apps rely on the Play Services to function properly.

No- it doesn't require anything. I use it on a Fire HD8 (and everything else since it kills all the ads). You can check out the features here:[Magisk] iYTBP - Youtube Vanced [Official]
Mod Edit - No longer applies.
So which youtube version Is working with the hd 8 please and none root.?

Standard YouTube tablet app, from Play Store (needs to be installed separately).

if it no longer applies does that mean I don't have to sign in? No link anywhere in this thread anymore so I hope so.
came back to my Fire HD 8 (2017) after months to give to my father. running great with play store and bloat removed thanks to the Tool provided here
My only issue is I cant update it (which isn't surprising after running a tool like that) and for some reason cant install any apks unless form the app store (amazon store is gone) The installing apks part was new. Don't recall that being an issue. i even have "install from unknown sources" allowed in security and toggled it off and on between reboots.
My work around for Vanced and MicroG was throwing the apks in "Bloatware removal root folder"\Apps and then editing the Fire Tool.bat to include new option to install microg and vanced. I just copied the install commands for launcher/hijacker and edited to push the new APKs. very simple and worked perfectly.
Didn't try to logging in yet, was going to let me father try to use his account. If we can't it's not a deal breaker. ad free youtube on his tablet will work great. Really regretted buying this tablet at first but after XDAs help, its the best little tablet that could for under 50$.
PS. As for Vanced. Use it on my non-rooted One Plus 6 phone and love it. It's where I got the idea to install it on this tablet. Only odd thing is I installed the same apk on my phone as the tablet. The one on my phone applies the proper dark theme but the tablet doesn't. Again, not a deal breaker.

There is a Vanced mod for Magisk, but you can also go to the Vanced thread on XDA and download and install the non root Vanced. Apk that works on anything, along with the MicroG.apk in order to be able to sign into YouTube. I don't believe you need the MicroG.apk if you are rooted.
Hey guys, I have a rooted shield but I can't get videos to play with either Disney+ or Hulu. Netflix loads videos perfectly.
Is this normal? Am I missing a setting or a patch somewhere?

If you're using Magisk, then maybe forgot to use Magisk Hide and hide root from those apps... I have root on my Shield TV and all my apps including Disney+ and Hulu work perfectly...
