Hi I got a Brand new Samsung Galaxy Mini 2, great device, everything is perfect only problem I got is that when I'm in Google Play and want to look at the screenshots of an app, and swipe between them the device freezes, then vibrates and sends me back to Google Play, sometimes it gives me an error message, I have done like 3 factory resets but it doesn't fix it, any recommendations?
Thank You
Someone?
What version of Google Play are you on ? Have you tried Re-loading Google Play ?

I'm on the latest, which is 3.9.16. I have noticed that if the screenshots on google play are in landscape, there is no problem switching between them (eg. Nova), and if I hold the device sideways, I can switch between the screens even if they are portrait screenshots with no problem, wondering if there es a problem with the screen size, everything in any other app is perfect, I tried viewing pictures on the IMDB app and works perfect is just when clicking the images on google play.
thanks.
OK, the problem is related to google play 3.9.16, I know because in manage applicationd I uninstalled google play updates so it went to a previous version, and it works perfect, the problem is that it updates by itself back to 3.9.16 and the problem comes back. any ideas? maybe a way to stop it from updating?
Thanks

You can use Titanium Backup to keep it form Updating. Or you can go into Menu - Settings - Applications - Manage applications - Market Updater. Then Force Stop it from there. But I think you might also just want to try the latest version of the Play Store. You can find it v3.9.17 HERE. The article has the Download links, and info on what's new.

Try installing Google play apk
Tried couple of Play Store APK versions.
every version is crashing.
i've bought the same tablet and play store keeps crashing every time i install !!
can we get any support ?!
I'm gonna go ahead and bump this vs making a new thread. I'm still fairly new to mobile devices, but my intermediate knowledge of computers kinda helps me out. Still a long shot, considering this isn't a well known tablet.
Android 4.0.4
From the factory it comes with HCL's own craptastic market app (Almost expect that from a cheap India brand knock off of the iPad), which has a horrible layout, always freezes up, and doesn't have any useful/common apps. While the tablet itself has with most of the default google stuff removed from it. Including Google Play Services.
I installed both the Play Store, and the Play services manually with no errors. But when it comes to running the store, it'll run fine for about a second, then a system message will come up saying "Unfortunately, Google Play Store has stopped." BUT I can see the app giving me the terms of service prompt in the background, AFTER that error message pops up. After acknowledging the error, it force closes the store, so I'm presuming HCL hardcoded something in to block google's app store.
I've taken the well known solution to this of installing 1Mobile Market, but I just don't trust it (So many cloned apps...) and I can't get to my purchased apps.
Any ideas? I have a very rough idea of what I'm doing when it comes to roms, I've successfully installed a custom one to an old Samsung Infuse before.
Has anyone gotten google play store working? I tried following the steps from android cowboy but I get back to back errors for google services no matter what.
On a different note, is there a way to remove the ads/special offers for free?
Thanks,
Sean

Google play is a system apps so it's gonna need a rooted or modified rom with bootloader cracked. Same is needed to disable kindle offers.
So is there any good way of getting apps beyond side loading?

Only the second part is true. You can get the Google play store apk on any device, regardless of root or not.

You can get it on the device, but it won't work. ... from experience. If you know how, ... do tell!

Try this link.
Although it says Kindle Fire HD, ignore that. Ignore step 3. Also ignore anything that says about copying to /system/app.
Just install the apps in the order he has listed then install the "Vending.apk" (That is the Google Play Store). Please also note that you will most likely not be able to install apps from it. :/

Did you ever try 1mobile market?
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=me.onemobile.lite.android
One way to get a lot of Android apps onto Kindle, until we get root.

Seems to me like there should be some kind of app you can run on your rooted android device to pull the apk. Then install the full version on the Kindle via sideloading.
Sent from my SCH-I535 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Better results
You'll get better results in the interim from installing:
a) 1MobileMarket
or
b) Aptoide
or
c) BlackMart Alpha (shh..)
Tinkering with Google Play Store components before we have root may be an exercise in futility.
The content of the link is quiet useful to me. Thank you for sharing. I decide to buy a licence. :good:
Anyone tried SNAPPEA TO passthru GooglePlay?
I saw a utility SnapPea that seems to allow a pass thru from a PC to Kindle Fire HDX for accessing GooglePlay. As I still have not ordered my HDX I was wondering if anyone has tried this.
Thanks in advance;

The SnapPea app that I just tested is a way to control your android device from a browser on your computer, similar to AirDroid. It does not allow access to Google Play for the Kindle. What it does do is help you to install an .apk file through the browser, but then we can do that already by allowing sideload anyway. So maybe you were thinking about something else?
The Gapps and Google Services Framework processes keep crashing. Any ideas?

Same here.. Just bought a Kindle Fire HD 2013 and tried every possible attempt described on many how-to to get it rooted for Google Play. Nothing worked. Device current version is 11.3.0.5.
Tried the side load as well described for HDX. Gmail app works but that's about it.
Anyone succeeded on this version?
Thanks

I basically got pretty much every app to work except for Hangouts and Play Store. This includes everything from Voice to Gmail to Map to Google Earth to Google Plus to whatever. The key for me was to start with base configs that Android Cowboy posted, but then add bunch of dependencies from android 4.2.2 and update with latest version of backed up apps. For example, I have had to install Google Play Services 3.2.66 first and then was able to update to 4.0.31 after reboot. That version was required for Youtube to work properly (i.e. allow account sign-in). Things still crash sometimes, but it's not a huge deal.
Main thing is Youtube, Music, Gmail and Calendar are all working more or less ok. Chrome signed into my google account, but its not pulling down settings (bookmarks, open tabs from other computers, etc...). Google Plus crashes sometimes but works. Hangouts is clearly missing a dependency of some sort. I installed most things I could thing of from default Android 4.2.2 CM10.1 apps package and from backing up my phone (galaxy s4), but it's still no go. It would be nice to get that going as well. Oh well, Skype can cover most things there.
Google Voice Convifirmed

Wanted to confirm that I also have Google Voice working on the HDX 7 (since I rarely see people mentioning it as a Google App). Interestingly, I also got Talkatone working on the HDX with my Google Voice number, even though the app's FAQ plainly says that Google Voice will NOT work with it. As a result, as long as I have wifi, I can now easily use my Google Voice number to make and receive calls.
When I download apps from other sources (1mobile) they don't show up in the multi tasking bar. Anyone know of a multitasking app to fix this?

I'm using the paid version of floating toucher to access recent apps.
To get apps to show up on the stock multi tasking bar you have to open them from the stock home launcher.

Correct. The multitasking feature on the HDX is basically just the Carousel, with exactly the same shortcuts in exactly the same order. The only difference is it's hidden on the edge of the screen until you pull it up. So, just as apps launched from alternative launchers won't show up on the Carousel, they also won't show up on the HDX multitasking bar.
Hello Everyone, let me start by saying I have been doing so much reading on this webpage in the past 24 hours (and casually browsed before) and I just want to say thanks. The site is awesome and the users are even better.
I recently installed ia3 of Android on Intel on my Acer Iconia W700 tablet. The guide to install was fantastic. I've had some issues getting GApps installed but I finally got them working where I went thru the google setup and everything and logged into GMail able to see everything so I tried my luck with the play Store.
The App loads and says "No Connection, Retry" I have tried installing a new .apk a few times, I even tried some of the suggestions regarding the ETC file (editing is, deleting it and all sorts of reboots etc) I've tried deleting the apk entirely and reinstalling and I just can't quite seem to figure it out. I am even able to install play when I am in system/app and long press and click install and I notice the version of play updated. Still having the same no connection error when the store opens up.
I know it must at least have an internet connection because anything I start typing into the search box it offers suggestions based on what I am typing. Ex: when i type in "Chrome" it populates suggestions such as "Chrome, chromecast, chromecast app, chrome browser, etc."
There has got to be something I am either doing wrong, or can try a different way. Thank you in advance for any help, and I'll make sure to click some thanks buttons along the way.

I seem to having trouble installing the Google Play Store onto my Kindle Fire HDX 8.9. Every time I get the store up and running as I can open it I can't seem to sign in as I am greeted with this message imgur. com/1CwVwS9.jpg I have so far tried everything on Google I been searching for hours I can't find a way to fix it I have tried many different methods on installing Gapps but none work. By the way I am Rooted with version 14.3.2.3.2 if that makes a difference I am trying to get Google play as I had enough of this Amazon app store. All help appreciated thanks!
Bump. I'm having the same issue on an HDX 7 with 13.3.1.0. I've tried installing it manually, through KindleFree and even a few factory resets.

Are you installing via rom? If so, sometimes it's trial and error getting it working. Delete the rom slot and keep trying. I block ota and use Apex launcher on stock with playstore.
