[Q] Syncing Existing Clash of Clan village to HDX - Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot

I recently bought a Fire HDX 8.9 and am trying to get my old village up and running on it.
I have followed all the instructions from www gizmag com/how-to-install-google-apps-kindle-fire-hd-hdx/30736 which included doing the following in the exact order:
Google Account Manager and reboot the tablet.
Google Services Framework and reboot the tablet.
Google Play Services and reboot the tablet.
Gmail and reboot the tablet.
I also sideloaded Clash of Clans, YouTube, and Google Play Music.
Clash of Clans and Google Play Music will not allow me to sign in, but Gmail and Google Play Music work fine.
After doing some research, it is my understanding that you have to have your phone rooted, in order to sync up. Is this true?
If so, is there a way to root get it to sync and then unroot and keep the village that loaded (from my existing account)? I am just looking for a one time load, I guess, if that is possible.
Please help and thanks.

Yes you must have root. Also, you cannot unroot because it will break. I was in the same situation. Root lets gapps and sync works.

[Q] Clash of Clans

Just bought a 7 inch Kindle fire HDX and its a very nice tablet that I have managed to sideload clash of clans on. I can not find a way to load my old town from my old android tablet however. I have tried installing all the stuff for google play services using ES file explorer and all installed fine. Gmail works fine. when I try to load my old town using google plus sign in(only method I could find in game) I get a message that google play services are not supported on this device and to contact the manufacture. Any help getting around this would be appreciated otherwise my return date is early July and I will have to return it.
Unfortunately, the only way to make *that* work is for you to full root the tablet and load the Gapps properly.
Been using coc on my kindle as a clan member and test account. I've almost caught up to my real all account
rooted, HELP
Ok, used towelroot and then went thru and installed all the gapps on android cowboy to make gmail work and have google+ installed and working with no issues. Have signed in to both gmail and +. When I go to clash of clans and try to do the G+ sign in to load my town, I get a popup saying : Google Play Services
Google Play Services, which some of your applications rely on, is not supported by your device. Please contact the manufacture for assistance.
Any ideas? Guessing I am missing a module that talks between G+ and G+ sign in but no clue which one.
installed apps listed below if it helps
Gmail
Google Account manager
Google play services
Google services framework
Google +

Added the google play store tonight and I am in, I can finally retire my old OG kindle fire that weighs 300lbs. Thanks for all your work making this possible since it would take me forever to go to each thread I read and thank people. If I can be of any help with what worked for me I will try.

after side loading all the google apps listed at android cowboy to add a google account didnt help, I went back and added google + I could sign in but still got the message. dug around some more on android cowboy and went to androidcowboy.com/android-apk-files-download/ and downloaded the play store apk and google login service. i then installed Play store and rebooted without opening it, did the same wiht login service then rebooted. went back in and opened clash of clans and got the message do you want to load xxxx's village you will lose your current one. clicked yes and bam I was in. not for sure that I needed login service as I didnt test before installing but it was late and I was ready to sleep.
I hope this helps and works for someone as I didnt document anything as I went along so all of this is from memory. I was rooted with Towelroot already and had made a backup with titanium to be safe and of course used toolkit to disable OTA

[Q] can not install apps from playstore

Recently got a refurb Sony NSZ-GS8. I love the remote with the chicklety keyboard
Device is not rooted, just the Google TV honeycomb OS
I installed many apps *over 150*apps, via side loading and play store
of course 95% of apps either will not install or force close so I did a lot of uninstalling
but I finally got a few things going nicely if a bit slow
Now the play store is messed up...
I can purchase the apps in the Google play store but the install process starts and will never finish
I did clear cache and data for the play store app in system settings and same thing
Then I did a sideload install of Google play and play services and same problem
As a result I will need to install apps on my tablet first then copy the apk to cloud then sideload on Sony Google TV
So what really sux is something like AOL for Google TV can not install on my tablet as I get a message "incompatible device"
I also unplug the Sony NSZ-GS8 when I went away for a few days as the NSZ-GS8 feels too hot for me ,,,
Any ideas suggestions are appreciated
TIA Dave
search for version of your android which is compatible for your phone respectively.

Apps want Google Play Services update but it doesn't like Kindle. Ideas?

I've got various Google apps running on my Fire HDX - Gmail, Google calendar, and so on. Last week I started seeing a notification that Gmail wanted a new version of Play Services, but I know that the latest Play Services (or any version past 7.099, I think it is) doesn't run on the HDX. So I downgraded Gmail, and it's happy.
However, another app I use, Business Calendar 2, is no longer updating itself properly. Since it piggybacks on Google Calendar, my theory is that it wants something in the new version of Services. Which I can't run.
Any ideas, short of replacing the stock ROM?

I heard the latest version of Google Play services (v7.5) integrates well with Fire OS. Look around the forums for conformation. I have no first hand experience as I run a different ROM

I saw that in another forum thread, but when I installed it, I got the dreaded "Google Play Services has stopped". I'll head over to that other thread and see what they have to say.

[Q] External Play Store Installations

Long Story Short:
Bought my Nan a Kindle Fire while it was on offer. I then ran a script to install Google Play, services and framework etc. Which worked and I could download from the Play Store as normal.
She likes it and can go on the apps, but won't understand downloading properly.
I went onto Google Play on my laptop on her account, attempted to download apps remotely, but the Kindle doesn't appear.
How do I make it appear?
Thanks
Anyone?

Google play services stop working after Fire OS 5.3.2 update

After I updated my kindle fire HD 7 to the newer 5.3.2 version, the google play services stop working correctly: the YouTube doesn't launch (white screen on the startup).
I've tried to reinstall the app from the Play Store without success for that problem. After that I tried to install different google play services versions and I tried to install again the 4 APK needed to get the google play store working on kindle fire and I it get worse because I was stuck with a older play store version... after many tries I decided to restore the OS...
How I fixed that:
I did a factory restore on kindle fire, applied all the updates.
I didn't login with my amazon account
Installed the google play store using the instructions from this link
http://forum.xda-developers.com/amazon-fire/general/how-to-install-google-play-store-fire-t3486603
YouTube working
After the google play services automatically update, I had to restart to device to YouTube start working again.
As long I can use the google play store and the google apps I will stick with the stock ROM. Also I noticed an overall increased performance with this fresh install

Did you install 5.3.2 with root ? Or just by itself (unrooted) ?
No root. I never rooted my kindle, no need of that yet
