Rooted 3rd gen HDX help installing GAPPS? - Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot

So I rooted my 3rd gen HDX and now I want to install GAPPS and I download the files but I am not sure what to do with them can someone help me out. the brief guide I found said the files be .APK but they are .ALL.TAR.XZ??

Can someone please help me out a little bit? I am not an android developer, I have looked all over the place and a lot of the info I find is outdated. Please

This is where you go for help correct?

Supertool
You can use the root junky supertool(google it i cant post links) yeah it says that its for the hd 5th gen but it should be fine if all you are doing is installing GAPPS.

Never mind thank you I figured it out.

[Q] I need to download Froyo

I've got myself an Ainol Novo 7 Basic, which came with Android 3.2
I rooted it and still was not able to download apk files directly, or sideload. Apparently the apps I want aren't compatible with 3.2 so what I'm hoping will work is going to Froyo, which is what I have on my rooted Captivate.
Of course I'm a bit of a noob unfortunately. I've found several links to getting Froyo on specific devices, but nothing general, and nothing for the Novo 7 Basic.
Can anyone help me out here, or lead me in the right direction?

You will never find it. Roms made for a device are never lower than the lowest firmware the device ever has (original stock before any updates). You may even get an update soon since: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=20729821.

If your looking to get free apps and you want a good rom hook up with cynanogen mod 7 nightlies. And when u get the rom on your phone go to the app store and search "*******" and download it and when you download it go and search your app with ".apk" at the end and you will get a bunch of files to choose from.

Proscan plt4311-pl Rooting

I need help rooting this tablet. The Proscan plt4311-pl is a small tablet running Android 4.0. I have tried OneClickRoot and SuperOneClick, neither worked. I am new to this but I would love to have full control over my tablet and install a custom ROM. Can someone please help me and put it in terms that a newbie can understand!
root proscan plt4311
This is a MIPS based tablet. (Actions 7013 based). Most apps and binaries are made for ARM. That is why the tools you mentioned didn't work. I think there is a list keeping track of what apps work and/or have been ported over at the Ainol Novo 7 basic threads.
I managed to get root access, but there's many steps involved, and honestly I'm gonna have to go back and figure exactly what I did after I get some rest but below are the tools&links and some basic instructions.
******OOps, guess I can't post links as a new user. type freetexthost.com/xvfjzr1ltq into your browser for my notes on rooting the Proscan Plt4311*********
******Edit #2: I soft bricked it trying to install ICS gapps. I re-flashed the firmware and rooted the tablet again, much quicker this time. And I managed to get play store and some other apps going. I should have a ready made script after work tommorow for you and all the other Big Lots bargain shoppers who bought this tablet (I got mine for $40!)

Well i am gonna see what can be done with this over the weekend. anyone out there care to give me a hand? im installing this thing into my car and would really like to get the playstore on it...
Just got mine on sale for $17.99 on Newegg Flash, came in the mail today. It's still doing the first charge on my 3A, shouldn't take long (no devil emote?) Can't wait to see what you devs can do for this thing! Although it is MIPS I'm sure simple apps and roms will run fine, but ARM is still preferable. But hey, it was $18. What do you expect?

I use the term "devs" very loosely here. Basically anyone willing to work on it. The first thing I'm gonna do is try to get into Recovery, and from there you could theoretically root it, install Gapps, etc.
Any updates?

You can root with:
POOT: This app is a one click root app. No computer needed
Framaroot: Framaroot is a oneclick root app . No computer needed
This is the most popular one!
Z4Root: Z4Root is an oneclick root app . No computer needed
Towelroot: Towelroot is an oneclick root app. No computer needed
Baidu: No information
Vroot: No information
Gingerbreak: This app can root almost all gingerbread devices

[Q] Trying to ROOT my "Huawei H867G Inspira"

I recently made the switch from APPLE Iphone to Android.
I purchased a Huawei H867G Inspira and was told by the sales man that it could be rooted. Which he said I should do since I am an avid Google Voice / Google + user and need 100% integration on the native apps. As well as want some factory defaults removed.
I have been all over Google and can not find anything on how to root this phone or where to get the Android OS download to do it.
I am a networks admin, so pretty knowledgeable just need a direction or insider info on what to do.
Any help would be appreciated. Sorry, I have have posted in the wrong thread.

The only mod i have been successful with is rooting it, it does have the superuser app.
I need help, from the very beginning as to how to install Gapps, and how to get the cyogenic mods etc.

Are you sure you are in the right Kindle Fire section? From looking around it doesn't appear the HDX is rooted yet. If indeed you are using an HDX, maybe sharing how you rooted would be helpful to the community.
Yeah I think your in the wrong forum. Sorry for the other n00bs that had no clue what to say..

[Q] Questions about Root, Safestrap & Gapps for the Kindle Fire HDX 8.9"

Hey,
I am about to get a new Kindle Fire HDX 8.9 64gb tomorrow and I'm already checking how to root the tablet and get all the Gapps up and running.
Unfortunately there are still a few things which are a little bit confusing for me at the moment:
1. Which is the best way to make sure that the Kindle Fire does not install an OTA update on its own? I mean it can not be the solution to keep the tablet in airplane mode all the time, that is ridiculous! I read about several ways to block OTA updates, installing a firewall, changing a value in the build.prop or renaming a certain file in den /system/ folder. Which way has to be proven to be the best way?
2. After gaining root I will install Safestrap and flash the official Amazon Rom to a slot. Is there a size for the Rom partition which is recommended? I have seen Safestrap now supports up to 16gb.
3. After booting the Amazon Rom from a Safestrap slot, can you do an OTA update or will this affect the whole system?
4. Can someone please point me to the correct and latest version Gapps for the 8.9" model (Apollo)?
I'm pretty sure I will come up with more questions tomorrow, but that's for now!
Thanks for your help ...

Welcome. Chances r u will receive the,or close to, the latest ota. That being said there currently is no root.. An earlier version of fire was rootable but quickly fixed by Amazon. We r all in same boat. For now spend the next couple days getting caught up on this forum while playing withbur new toy.

Once you complete the process to make dual-system (both Gapps and Amazon) the HDXposed module will block updates.

It seems to be known the Xposed mod doesn't block updates. If you want the tab for the specs but also as close as possible to a stock android experience. I would recommend how I did it with SS on both stock and rom slot, airplane moding the stock slot and never going back there unless necessary. Also try to rename the files and if possible try to mod the build if you think fit.
Just my 0.02.

Same as kschang with same version of Google+ (latest version). HDX 7 with 13.3.1.0 firmware. It's run fine with Cpasjuste's ROMs (both the Thor Gapps and the AOSP ROMs) as well as stock ROM with Cpastjuste's Gapps zip installer.
Hi
I've also got HDX 8.9 14.3.1.0 Apollo. How did you get supersu installed?
I've got the UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.99r4.zip
The author recommends installing through Google Play.
But if I turn off airplane mode I'll get updated, so I can't do that.
Other option is to install supersu through CWM, TWRP or MobilOdin.
But they also require Google Play to install.
I'm on linux. What should I do?

I mean Christ the best I can find is this: http://blog.julianxhokaxhiu.com/entry/how-to-install-supersu-on-hamlet-zelig-pad-210g
But he's got a custom install script. There's no install.sh file in the zip I got.
Some old threads look promising (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1410223) but will BurritoRoot or whatever worked on Kindle Fire 2 years ago work for Kindle Fire HDX 8.9 Apollo???
If you got all this working, it would be great if you could just unpack all the instructions you went through. No links and trying to be timeless lillypads for the future, just a detailed case study.

There's only a Windows solution, but I guess beggars can't be choosers.
I got VBox to see the Kindle and just used the KFHDX ToolKit v0.91 toolkit.
