When trying to install Anime Mobile APK I see the installation progress bar then the system tells me "App Not Installed", so the app never installs. I can install the same APK in my Pixel 2 (running Android 9) and Nexus 7 (running Android 8.1.0), so I know the app installs fine in other devices.
I'm wondering if maybe there is a setting I need to enable on the MediaPad M5? (Before someone asks, yes I have "Install Unknown Apps" enabled.)
The target SDK on the app is 21 if that matters...I tried using Apktool to change the target SDK to 27, but when trying to install the generated APK, the installation fails (maybe I'm not doing it right??).
Maybe I m out of luck and I won't be able to install it, but any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
I got it working now ?... after a few hours. Here is the breakdown in case someone runs into the same issue with this app or another app
Apktool does work, but after generating the new apk, you need to resign the app with command line tools (zipalign and apksigner).
I tried changing the SDK version to 26, 27 and 25 and although the app would install, it would load and then close. So I decided to regenerate and resign the APK with the original SDK level 21 and voilà! The app installed, opened correctly and I'm able to watch Anime in my new tablet!!! Even download the episodes
I wrote a guide if anyone is interested: How to Change the SDK API Level to a 3rd Party Android APK
That's it ?
Can you post the apk. PLS. The one that work (moded one).

I have a vmedia vstik (similar to vmedia vbox) that is running android with custom overlay/launcher.
I love that launcher very much and would love to install it on android in my car. I thought it would be as simple as copying apk and installing it, but it isn't. When I try that, I get a message that apk can't be installed. What would be a proper way?
I have checked running processes and found main apk file, but it must depend on some other apk files or libraries.
Here is the apk https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B_nn7EWQVqpIMFhhdVNtZkJaVlE/edit?usp=sharing
And here is link to the vbox which is similar device but runs same interface http://www.vmedia.ca/vbox/
Is now available here: http://developer.android.com/wear/preview/start.html :highfive:
I cannot download the Preview Support Library and sample from the link in the email. The page says too many people have downloaded it. Anybody able to get these that can share?
EDIT: Nevermind, got it now.

The sample apps and supporting library are not there. They come via a link in an email you receive after signing up for the sdk.
See this link: https://drive.google.com/uc?export=download&id=0B39_TcfZ2v6NajZ3Q3UwdU5SQVk
But also, I was able to finally download them, looks like you may need to be patient for a bit after signing up.
For me the only 'problem' is to download the app in the play store.
But, that i think will take some time, as they said:
Opt-in to become a tester of the Android Wear Preview app in the Google Play Store. After opt-in, it could take up to 24 hours for the Android Wear Preview app to be accessible to you in Google Play. Make sure the opt-in user account is the same user signed in to Google Play.

Why apk file not upload, can anyone tell me reasons
All Current rooting options appear to not be compatible with Fire OS 4.1.1. The most recent option I have found was Root_with_Restore_by_Bin4ry_v35. This contains a .bat file that is not consistent with the current file structure of the OS 4.1.1. It appears to be moving the file Special.ab (as part of the restore procedure) to a location on the fire that is no longer a valid path. Attepmting to back up/restore the file com.android.settings, which is not a file on the Fire Hd.
Also, all instructions regarding the process to Root, discuss Endabling ADB via settings>security. There is not a Security selection under Settings; there is Security and Privacy selection.
And the option to enable installation from unknown source is not under Settings>Device, it is located under Settings>Applications.
I seem to get very close but Amazon seems to have it so locked down that I may be buying a new REAL tablet soon.
Has anyone found a viable solution to rooting this Fire Hd?
AFAIK the last gen HD tablets weren't rootable either. I wouldn't get your hopes up. Having CM/PA would be nice but using the Google apps/Launcher hacks you can at least make it much closer to a custom ROM.
Root_with_Restore_by_Bin4ry_v35 is for the 2012 Kindle HD (tate). Using this on our 2013 soho Kindles will result in a permabrick.
Fire HD 6 Under OS 4.1.1 and USB Debugging
I have seen people saying that they 'removed USB Debugging' from Fire HD 6 and 4.1.1.
That is not true.
You go to Settings->Device Options and click 7 times on the Serial Number.
You will find that USB Debugging is already turned on when it comes from the factory; how to turn USB Debugging OFF is the problem for some people with their Fire HD 6 under OS 4.1.1.
And, as someone else said, "Apps From Unknown Spaces" should be checked and that is in Settings->Applications
Have not found a method, yet, of rooting the device. However, you can get to what is not rooted. To install APK files, for example, just go to the Amazon App Store (go to Silk, search for 'Amazon App Store' and create a bookmark. Then you will be able to install free apps such as ES Explorer.
You can plug your Fire HD 6 into your computer, open up a folder and go to the Download folder. Then, using ES Explorer you can double-click on the Download folder and install APK files that you have put there.
In that manner I installed a program I had created and it ran perfectly on the Fire.
Thus, if you have the APK for an App; you can install it.
Do you know if there's a way to install the Google Play Store? Isn't it just another APK? Also, I'm trying to install some google apps (gmail, music, youtube etc) and it's not working since I don't have the google services .apk installed. I tried installing the google servies .apk but just get an parcing error

Fire OS 4.1.1 IS NOT Android 4.1.1! It's 4.4.4 renamed

There is a great tutorial on how to get GAPP's working on the HD 6 which only requires a little bit of ADB knowledge.

Unfortunately, the Play Store will not work as it needs root to perform the hack which isn't possible on this device yet (if ever).
No root, but still usable.
Just got three for my kids assuming we would be able to re isntall a decent version of an os on here.
Unfortunately looks like that is not the case.
I had purchesed minecraft from the play store, and when I went to load it up I was being charged the 7 bucks again from the amazon store. Not cool with that.
Fortunately as WowSoftware stated you can still side load any apk you want with out a problem.
Here is what I have been doing:
1) on a device that is linked to google play store:
Install titianum backup, es file explorer
use titanium backup to backup your application
go into the titatium backup folder and find your apk.gz file
move this to a network storage device (jsut for ease, you can copy to your computer if you like)
un .gz the file into a folder.
2) on the fire hd
go to settings and check the box that says allow unkown softwtware to be installed (cant remember the exact wording)
open es file explorer
browse to network store and click on the apk
This will load up what you need (you may need to do the gapps installation if you get no network connectivity issue).
You will need to manually run updates this way.
It's a hack but it works. I'm confident that there will be a root for this device some day, in the mean time I would suggest not running any updates fore fire os.
I have actually been thinking that there may be a way to block the advertisement feed at my router. Just to stick it to the man. If I do this I'll post some info on that.
And the Google play works with this method?

Is there a way to install Google Play app on an Android 6.0 (Marshmallow) AVD?
I have found the Open Gapps for Android 6 here:
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24269982087008996
To install them you need to boot into Recovery mode and install that zip file, but
an emulator does not have a recovery partition, so the steps target the case of a
device.
Do you know, how I can do the same for the emulator? I tried to unzip the file and
put the 4 APKs described here (for Android version 5):
http://www.flinkd.org/2015/02/instal...i-21-lollipop/
but after rebooting the emulator, although the icon of Google Play appears in the launcher,
when I tap on it, then the emulator crashes with some fatal exceptions in logcat.
I tried to install the packages one at a time, rebooting the emulator after each installation,
and found out that the crash happens after installing the Phonesky.apk no matter if you
click on the Google Play icon.
If someone can help me on this it would be very appreciated.
Thank you,

hello, this is my first time posting in the forum and I apologize if by any chance I have wrong section of the forum to present my problem.
Basically my problem is this:
Until yesterday with my android device "Samsung Galaxy TAB A" android 7.1.1 version I could play the game "Match Masters" which you can download the apk directly from here "https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.funtomic.matchmasters&hl=it&gl=IT".
As of today opening the game I get a screen where it tells me that in order to play the game you must have "Android 8 or higher" on your device. I will preface this by saying that I have not updated the app which was working perfectly until yesterday, so I assume the android version check is done server side. I ask if there is a way to circumvent the device version check by going to modify the apk? If yes, what is the procedure?
I thank you for your help.
I also attach the screen with the message

I have downloaded the application "APK editor Studio" which allows you to edit the APK game file in all its parts and then automatically recompiles the new file already signed with the signature in order to install it. The problem is that I don't know what is the string in the APK file that sends the device version check. If I could block or modify this string so that I could make the game think I was using an Android 8 phone, I would be able to play again. Is there any gurus in the field of APK editing who can direct me on how I can edit the file? Thank you, I look forward to hearing from you.
So you want to fool the app about tablet's Android version? If so then that's a complete other thing: this can be done by modifying Android's system file named build.prop what is located in partition /system
Note: Editing build.prop requires Android is got rooted and re-booted after changes made.

I modified the file you told me by writing the Android 8.0 version but unfortunately opening the game always shows the same screen. I also tried using the emulator application "Bluestacks" on the computer but my computer does not have the requirements to virtualize the game. Is there any emulator that can be installed directly on the tablet that goes to emulate another device?
