I have got YouTube, Gmail, Currents and Google Maps working in the Kindle Fire HD without rooting. However Google Maps is not able to get the location from Wifi and is not able to sign in using the following process. I was unable to get GTalk (also attached) to work so far. The following process does not use GoogleServicesFramework as was used in the Gingerbread version of Kindle Fire.
I have modded the apps with high resolution 256x256 icons for display in Kindle Fire Carousel using the following guide.

I have used You Tube 3.5.5 modded for HD playback. Alternatively this works with any of the APKs found in the following topic or built for Ice Cream Sandwich.

1. Enable installation of applications from unknown sources in Kindle Fire Settings.
2. Install GoogleLoginService.apk.
3. Reboot.
4. Install the Google Apps.
5. Start YouTube. Sign In. It will take you to Google Account Manager to create/use existing Google credentials.
6. Same goes for other apps. In case sign in fails for any of the apps (except Maps/GTalk) drag down the Kindle Fire notification bar, click on the notification for "Permission requested....." and assign required permissions.

UPDATE: Thanks to alkemist80, installing GoogleServicesFramework.apk, rebooting & installing Talk from the following post, Talk works perfectly fine on Kindle Fire HD, unless it goes into sleep mode.
(If existing apps stop responding at this point, remove and reinstall them)

Any help getting GTalk to work would be appreciated.

When I first got my fire I side loaded Gtalk after installing GoogleServicesFramework and it worked fine. I just installed the GoogleLoginService.apk and was able to log in to Youtube just fine but that does seem to have broken Gtalk for me. The gtalk .apk I was using just hangs while trying to sign me in. The one you provided immediately force closes when I try to open it. It seems to be trying to log me in as "@youtube.com" as opposed to "@gmail.com". I have been able to get it to let me sign incorrectly with gmail/drive/youtube but I don't get a chance to choose my log in as gtalk tries to start right up. That is weird that is was working before and now it's not. Any ideas?
Update: Using a google maps .apk I had as opposed to the one you included I was able to get maps up and running flawlessly as well as Navigation with turn by turn. I was also able to get Google Drive working as well. Here is the maps .apk I used:https://www.dropbox.com/s/lh5a4h9i6ex3nhv/com.google.android.apps.maps-1.apk
Thanks for the maps apk, I will try it out. Well, multiple google/drive/youtube login thing never happened for me. Are you having both of these files - Gingerbread version of GoogleServicesFramework.apk and ICS version of GoogleLoginService.apk in the system? It could cause a problem. Otherwise doing a Clear Data on the GoogleLoginService (Google Account Manager) may clean up those ids.
drive
I can't get drive to.work. keeps telling me that drive has stopped. I installed it from 1mobile and app brain. Any suggestions?

Also I believe he is referring to going into the Application Management settings area and clearing the data.

How did you get gtalk to work? Which apk did you use? My fire HD is rooted and GoogleServicesFramework installed and every time I open gtalk, it force closes immediately. I hardly even get a chance to see the error screen before it clears. Everything else I have installed works, play, maps and youtube.

Where did you get the apk for GoogleServiceFramework? I tried using one from my Nexus 7, but it would not install. Maybe because it is JB and I need an ICS version? Thanks.

Don't mean to hijack this thread and I don't think PM is working for me yet, but I just wanted to know if you had disconnection issues with Gtalk when the fire HD goes to sleep. Can't seem to figure this out.

I'm still having trouble with Drive. Youtube works, maps work, currents work, and so does Google books. I would really like Drive.to work as well.
Here's what it does. I have the Google accounts all installed but not the framework. When I had the framework installed quite a few programs stopped working. Now when I install drive, about 2 seconds later I get a message that drive has stopped. Then I go to the home screen and then get another drive has stopped message. If I try running it, a few times it looks like it is doing something, but I end up with the same.message. sometimes when I true running it I just get the message.
Yes, I've shut down several times. Any advice is appreciated.

I had some apps working using only the OP instructions; that is I wasn't running the framework at all. When I loaded the framework (then rebooted) so I could run the rest, most previously working apps stopped working. I found that if I reinstalled (no need to uninstall) those apps via ES file explorer (it has supervisor permissions) they immediately started working. I did root last night, but have not messed with the system folder to load Play as there is no backup yet. Not sure root is needed though, nor if supervisor permissions is an issue. Every app works great now. Only weirdness is Maps shows my position about 500 yards off target, while mapQuest is spot on. No biggie, just strange.
Thanks to the OP and others for getting us this far.

Well, this might be the Gingerbread version of Talk. The ICS versions I have are all > 2MB. The Gingerbread GoogleServicesFramework - Gingerbread Talk combination works fine in the ICS Kindle Fire HD but it messes up other Google Apps. Also I am unable to install any ICS version of GoogleServicesFramework yet. And the ICS version of Talk is unable to login without the Framework.
4.0.3 GoogleServicesFramework and Gtalk app from my EVO 3D. Both are running on my ROOTED kindle fire HD, no problems with google maps, play store or youtubeHD. However Gtalk does not seem to be supporting the front facing camera and causes the app to crash if you or someone else tries to connect via camera. Still trying to get gmail to function correctly, it will not push emails.
I seem to still be running into issues with Gtalk logging out while the device is in sleep mode.

I'm having the same issue. Anyone find a fix?
This only works on the 5th Gen 7" Model. Will not work on the 7" HD Model.
Cool. I am mostly looking to install some good weather app and turn my tablet into an always on weather station. Being my first Fire tab I'm not really sure how to get there. But this looks like a path for me!
I'm thinking I just want to install SOme weather app (there are a bunch) and set it up to never sleep, and always run the app when tablet boots (there are several apps in the play store that do this).
Any thoughts for a newbie?

Yes you have to sign up for the developer program to get the update. Sign in to amazon and then go to this link https://developer.amazon.com/public/solutions/platforms/android-fireos and on the right side is a orange developer sign up button. Follow through those steps and you'll get the update.

Cross post. This works on the Fire HD 8. I hope it works on the 7 too!!! Should work on any device where the provider or manufacturer blocks Google Assistant. For the Fire 7, after you install the play store, you'll need this version of the Google app apk https://drive.google.com/drive/u/0/folders/1_5-oGDtl8vn4Hu68ch3AOvuB9IVEh0-5
[GUIDE] [NO ROOT]: Enable FULL Google Assistant!
you dont even need to wait for assisstant to come to 5.0, you can just downgrade your google app to 7.3 so you have the your stuff tab then make a reminder to teach her your voice to enable her voice recognition.

Last time I tried that, it didn't work.
This guide now enables the full google assistant.
Strangely, It seems the Fire 7 on 5.3.1 is unaffected. Can't get full assistant on it, but you get full Google assistant on the HD 8 with 5.4.0.0 and on the HD 10 with 5.6.0.1.
How do you do this using only the app? My tablet is messed up and no PC will recognize it, therefore there is no ADB

Also Some of you might have noticed OK Google may have stopped working after updating your Google app. It is possible though I haven't been able to say for sure, that updating the Google app at one point may have changed something inside secure settings which causes some of the assistant functionality to stop. if this is happened to you and OK Google has stopped working, go back to the OP at the link provided at the end of this post and make sure the secure settings settings are correct. When updating a Google app on another device one of the lines was deleted specifically the 'assistant' line on my HD 10 and the voice interaction line on another device. any one of these lines being removed from secure settings will cause a assistant to lose some of its functionality. make sure when updating your Google app that you're still in beta and that those three lines do not get removed or changed. https://forum.xda-developers.com/hd8-hd10/general/guide-enable-google-assistant-ok-google-t3740145

Want to fix Google Cloud Messaging ports(GCM):
-> Removing any all Amazon's bloatware.
-> Using Xposed or Magisk modules to fix GCM ports.
-> Install a custom ROM to your Fire tablet like LineageOS.
-> Install a full Google API services APKs (Google API services' version is same as Android version).

That's the problem, we disabled the device provisioned settings. Can you enable it.
Code:
//Enter ADB shell
adb shell
//Enable device provisioned
settings put secure device_provisioned 1
Dont mean to sound like a noob but I opened amazon toolbox and entered adb shell. I then entered the commands you gave but it says not found. Am I doing something wrong
What device are you on?
Are you unlocked?
Stock FireOS?
Rooted?
I'm also having the same problem. Fire 10 HD with google services installed via fire toolbox 27. Notifications don't work for apps installed via play store. Trying to get a messaging app (Kinzoo) working for my son but messages don't push to the app. They only appear when he closes the IM screen and reopens it to refresh. Also, no notifications. Same behaviour with Skype and other apps.
Is there a fix?
