Works and looks great. but i cant login into the playstore , it says my Username/password is incorrect, but its definitly correct
edit: i dont have any GSF ID, so maybe this is the problem ?
I can login to play store but can't download any apps. Just gives me a pop-up telling me to go to google support to troubleshoot.
Works perfectly for me, amazing work thank you keep it up, what ive been hoping for
can't install the zip from module/add.
when select the .zip file keep browsing through out the content of the zip file.
@tsynik Please write here, not install, if you use the FireTV 4K Stick Add-Ons. It is only as description in Magisk after install. Can we have the Google TV Market in Add-Ons too?
did a fresh install (prerooted rom, xposed frame work) and flashed the v1.1. module. still i cant login to playstore, still says my password is not correct.
How do I undo this? I attempted to install on my 2nd Gen Fire TV stick but was not able to login to the Play store. Nothing would happen when I attempted to login . I uninstalled the modules but now when I restart my Fire TV stick there's a stock photo of a family and it tells me I need to log in. I am still able to access the settings menu and it shows I am logged in still and all of my apps are still on the device . How do I fix this without reformatting the whole thing ?

Switch to 'Core Only Mode' in magisk settings... reboot. (In case the OS don't boot, you can use magisk manager for recovery, in order to access the settings).
Then you may try a proper uninstall of this module.

Thank you very much. I have tried this and have uninstalled all Magisk modules as well as all Xposed modules, but my standard Fire TV launcher is still not loading properly/corrupted.
It only shows "Home" and "Settings" and says I need to login to my Amazon account (screenshot). I am still able to access the full "Settings" menu (screenshot) and am still logged into my Amazon account (screenshot). If I remove my account it will factory reset the device/delete my data and I don't want that.
I am an idiot and now see this module was for devices running FireOS 6. I am running 5.2.7.2 on my rooted Fire TV Stick (2nd generation - "tank"). Maybe this is why I have messed up the factory launcher/home screen.
I have gone ahead and made a backup of all apps + data using Titanium Backup and will just re-flash the stock ROM and restore my backed-up apps.
I'm sorry to ask this on the wrong thread, but I was attempting to install this module because I really need Google Play Services to function properly. Don't really care about the Play store, but several apps I would like to use require a Google account/Play Services. I can't find anywhere on XDA or online a legitimate way to make this happen. This is what I was hoping to accomplish with the module provided in this thread but was not successful. I believe I can get Google Play Services working if I flash a whole new OS, with LineageOS, but I use the native FireOS built-in Alexa features as part of my smart home setup and don't want to lose this. Does anyone know how/if it's possible to make Google Play Services functional on a Fire TV Stick/tank? Thank you again very much for your help! Sorry to hi-jack this thread... ?️?️
Is it normal to see an error message when i try to check updates due fire tv setting's? everything works fine but some of the apps which used to work is no longer functional e.g. mirroring app(forgot the name).

In case it isn't good after flashing a new system, data is somewhat corruped too. But if you wipe data, you need to do the setup/logon
Best is if you take clean twrp backups, from a new system with completed amaz. logon/setup and ofcourse just infront any experiments :good:
HI. I instlaled it successfully, but Play Store open is not possible. It shows only blank screen. Any thoughts on that?
@richaardvark
======================
adb connect FireTV IP (allow connection on TV)
adb shell
su
settings put global frozenMode disabled
reboot
Launcher should come back.
If not try.
#adb shell pm enable com.amazon.tv.launcher
I've installed this module, PlayStore and the other apps are installed but i can't launch them. There's no shortcut in the app gallery but appear in the settings without the option to launch them. I already tried to reinstall it without success. I'm on Stock FireOS 6.2.7.1 with Magisk on my FireTV Stick 4k.

You need to wait till module setup and autoreboot after install and 1st boot. Also, setup will not proceeded untill stick is registered with Amazon account. You can also check /data/adb/modules/aftv-atv/service.log for details.

The FireTV Stick 4k is registered and rebooted after 10 seconds. I will check the log for errors.
EDIT: I can't see any errors. PlayStore still show up.
EDIT 2: I could open PlayStore with LuckyPatcher but crashes after sometime or the screen is just black.

It mean module didn't install xposed framework from itself. Redownload current module version from GDrive (probably i fixed install logic) and reapply or install Xposed Framework from Magisk Manager / Repo and module will work.

*** Archos Devices Only ***
This includes only the Market, Calendar, Talk, GenieWidget and "required gSync" files. Any apps that are in the Froyo Market are NOT included. Honestly, this is better as it makes a smaller appInstaller package and its more compatible.
You can download the following from the Market -- Gmail, VoiceSearch, YouTube and Maps(Navigation)
SUMMARY
v5-Stable -- (recommended!)
INSTALL INSTRUCTIONS:
WARNING: If you've installed this or other gApps installers, you may have to RESET to successfully install gAppInstaller.
Note: You may get an error when you first open the Market, ignore the error. It may also take a few minutes before the Market updates from 2.09 to the current version.
Download - http://code.google.com/p/archos-apps-installer/downloads/list
Copy download to your device via USB (if you didnt download directly using your Archos)
Use 'Files' app to locate gAppsInstaller, then execute/install it
Choose install core apps or choose to install your own packaged 'apps.zip' file located on the internal drive (not sdcard). There maybe a short delay after you tap an install button (its installing and you'll be notified when its done, about 5-10 seconds)
REBOOT!!
Sign into Market (Google Account Login)
Follow the Market FIX instructions below
MARKET FIX:
This will get you most missing apps from the market, except some "protect market apps" like NYTimes.
Setting-->Manage Applications-->All-->Market (Clear Cache then 'Force Stop' -- DO NOT clear data)
Setting-->Manage Applications-->All-->Google Services Framework (Clear data then 'Force Stop')
REBOOT again
Market Fix video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7l-nySibzeA&feature=player_embedded#!
If you do this correctly you will find most missing apps like 'Copilot Live USA' in the Market. However, some apps require certain features (like a GPS or Cell chip) and will not show up in the Market. Basically, if you search for application "MyGPS" and "MyGPS" is coded to REQUIRE a GPS chip, then the Android market will NOT show this app in the Market for our Archos Device because is lacks a GPS chip.
MARKET LANGUAGE FIX (unverified):
Once you install the Market, it will probably be in English only. You may be able to fix this by putting your device into English via Settings menu, then put the device back into whatever other language you require.
RESET DEVICE:
Follow these instructions to reset your Archos Gen8: http://forum.archosfans.com/viewtopic.php?f=63&t=42437&start=0
12/23/2010:
v5 released and appears stable. This is the last froyo version since the Market auto-updates and NetworkLocation works.
kenyu73 - Thanks for the update, could you possibly test a couple of apps for me before I wipe and load this up?
TweetDeck
Slingplayer
Moblox
Those have never worked correctly on your build and I use them pretty regularly. Thanks! Looking forward to results.

Both Tweetdeck and Moblox-Lite open without any FC's. I couldn't find Slingplayer in the market.
Awesome. I'll have to wipe and rebuild with this tomorrow then. Thanks!
any reason to re-install from v3?
I used your v3 (thank you very much!) - it worked well. I have Market + select Google apps on my A70.
I'm still missing some apps on Market that I'm unable to find no matter what, even after following "the procedure" - LauncherPro, AWDLauncher, etc. Frankly I can sideload most apps anyhow.
Is there any point/reason in installing v4? (I'm hoping for a "no")?
Kenyu you are the man!

There are some "protected" apps that we'll never see. However, I can find LauncherPro(free) as well as ADW.Launcher(by AnderWeb) just fine.
kenyu73, Thanks for your updates.
My A70 will arrive in tomorrow and look forward to implement your guide soon.
Please keep on fine-tuning it and share with us.
Bit the bullet and loaded up the new app installer. It works perfectly. No more force closes on tweetdeck or when logging into the xda app. Thanks for this.
-------------------------------------

Thanks for the feedback. I think the v4 is really the final stable version. I've been using it all day today and not one single Market FC and I can find all apps in the Market (except protected apps). I did have to do the Market fix though.
The next issue I'd like to fix is the Voice Search GUI issue. The GUI interface isn't as clean as my cell phone, but I'm not sure if that's even fixable. Even though we install Voice Search directly from the Market, it still just sucks!!
Just a short note:
If you have already rooted your device with z4root a reboot is never reasonable.
To avoid lossing the root (which can of cource be reinstalled using z4root again) you can use the App HotReboot. This app reboots the device but the "root" still exists!
BTW: Thanks for your work!!!!

Downloads Stuck
I followed all instructions. My downloads on the market get stuck at starting download. ANy ideas?
Archos 101
excellent - thankyou kenyu
one question from a newbi
when i follow the link - I see an apk and two zip files
how do i use the two zip files ? appsinstaller and apps
thanks Stephen
Just use the apk file.
The apps.zip is just the apks that you should download from market, and the zipped installer is the source codes. If you just want to install the installer, then only the apk should matter to you.

All the apps in the zip files should be down-loadable from the Market directly. That zip is only there for people who cant download some apps because of their country of origin (like Maps). Some may use it so they don't have to download those apps.
Best bet is to install the core apps via the installer, reboot then d/l that apps you want from the Market.

I'd reboot again. However, it could be your internet connection. My Samsung Fascinate (Galaxy S) doesn't that sometimes.
Did you install over an existing Market install or was this a fresh install? If it was a re-install, as my instructions said, best bet is to do a reset and start over.
i decided to load some apks in the .system folder to see if i could get it to load my own apks to save me less time.. and in the process using this gapps apk vs the one with the GUI glitch worked very well.. like how i can download my own youtube etc so i have the choice of which google apps i want
These are the only apks that can be pushed to the froyo/system/app folder. Archos put the apk reference aliases (prefixed with a 0) into the read-only '/system/app' knowing we'd manually add them to the read/write test folder. Anything else in the app folder is ignored.
If Archos didn't do this, I doubt we'd even have Market access until the devce was fully rooted.

This is my attempt to help those who are on Lollipop and want Xposed working while not having any FC's. This also keeps the Play Store working. No "Your device is not compatible with this version" message in the store. I made 2 versions. One that removes the stock keyboard, one that doesn't. Also, if you don't want to remove the priv-apps, you can delete it from the zip by opening it with 7zip. I say this because I messed up the script and it only deleted files from /system/app but still booted fine. Also booted fine multiple times after, without having to clear cache. The file is only 500kb. Enjoy!!!
My phone is the Z3(6603), running LP(23.1.A.0.690), US Version, Locked Bootloader.
This should work for anyone using the same LP version on the Z series, but no guarantees since I only have the 6603 Z3 model.
Requirements:
Lollipop (23.1.A.0.690)
TWRP Recovery
Downloads:
z3_mini_debloat_for_xposed_no_kb**this WILL remove the stock keyboard, be sure to have an alternative installed
z3_mini_debloat_for_xposed_with_kb**this will NOT delete the stock keyboard
(added 5/17/15)
Z3_Full_Debloat_no_kb**this WILL remove the stock keyboard, be sure to have an alternative installed
Xposed Files
UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.46.zip
**BACKUP BEFORE ATTEMPTING**
**I ASSUME NO RESPONSIBILITY**
**FLASH AT YOUR OWN RISK**
How to (fresh install):
1. Backup (I cannot express this enough)
2. Do a full wipe
3. Flash a prerooted LP
4. Reboot into system
5. Run byeselinux for recovery fix
6. Let it reboot into system
(INSTALL A KEYBOARD AT THIS POINT, IF USING THE NO KEYBOARD VERSION)
7. Reboot into recovery
8. Flash one of the zips below (do not reboot)
9. Flash xposed arm
10. Clear cache and dalvik-cache
11. Reboot into system
12. Install xposed apk and your modules, reboot after enabling modules
How to (dirty install):
(INSTALL A KEYBOARD, IF USING THE NO KEYBOARD VERSION)
1. Backup (I cannot express this enough)
2. Flash one of the zips below (do not reboot)
3. Flash xposed arm
4. Clear cache and dalvik-cache
5. Reboot into system
6. Install xposed apk and your modules, reboot after enabling modules
Known Issues
1. Some modules will cause boot loops. I recommend enabling one at a time and rebooting after each one. Start with the modules you want the most, first.
Bootloop fix for bad module besides a cache clear:
When you see the "ANDROID" logo after the Sony logo, press Volume Down or Up repeatedly, and fast, until you feel a long vibrate after the short ones. This disables the xposed from running its framework. I just figured this out by accident. So as far as I know, the only way to re-enable it is to navigate to "/data/data/de.robv.android.xposed.installer/conf" and delete the disable file. Just be sure to disable the module from the xposed app afterwards.
Not Working Modules:
None are giving me an issue with boot loops. However, this is because of the full debloat. Doing the mini will cause random modules to cause boot loops.

I am on pre-rooted ..BAL.690 and I am using exposed with byeselinux patch but when I reboot my phone I stuck bootloop.
Now if I will install your zip am I relies to bootloop?
Edit: I flash @redinvali Zip's on to BAL.690 Pre rooted ROM and bomm everything like a old days. Thanks bro.
Are you on a bootloop from my file or from using a different one? Mine hasn't caused any bootloop issues for me.
Im about to do my phone again from a factory reset to see if theres any issues. My Play store was working but now isn't. I think its due to me flashing LP without a reset, only cleared caches. I'll post results when my phone is back up.
~ via Xperia Z3, XDA App
Ok so I'm back from a factory reset. Everything is working, xposed & play store. I checked the store after every reboot to make sure there was no "your device its not compatible" message. This is how I did it...
1. Backed up all my apps with titanium
2. Booted into recovery and did factory reset
3. Flashed a prerooted LP
4. Rebooted into android
5. Went thru initial setup and signed into google (to check store for message)
6. Ran byeselinux (which restarts automatically)
7. Checked Play Store, was ok
8. Installed the Xposed apk
9. Reboot into recovery
10. Flashed mini deodex, xposed fw, & super su zips
11. Cleared cache & dalvik cache
12. Reboot into system
13. Checked Play Store, was ok
14. Rebooted and checked Play Store, was ok (2 time to be sure)
15. Restored apps with Titanium
16. Rebooted and checked Play Store, was ok
17. Enabled all my modules
18. Rebooted and checked Play Store, was ok and all modules running
So if your trying to flash this over an existing system that has been altered already, to get xposed working, then you may experience issues. I recommended backing up your apps, doing a factory reset, reflash your prerooted LP, then follow the steps in OP.
WARNING: BE SURE TO RUN "byeselinux" AFTER A FRESH INSTALL OF PREROOTED LOLLIPOP OR YOUR RECOVERY WILL STAY BROKEN
I didn't have the issue with the Play store before until I started debloating my system. Im going to do it now while checking the Play store to see if removing a specific app causes the issue.
~ via Xperia Z3, XDA App
It seems my store is showing the message again... I haven't touched anything and it was working before my last post. I checked it again to be sure, before debloating, and there it was. So I'm back to trying to figure it out :-/
~ via Xperia Z3, XDA App
Edit:
Disabling all the modules in xposed did not remove the message from the Play Store. I just flashed the mini deodex again. Currently waiting on it to finish optimizing the apps. Then I'll remove the rest of the xposed framework files manually, if the Play Store is still showing the message. So I can determine if the framework for xposed is causing the issue or if its the deodexing causing it. I will figure it out
Great work with the ROM buddy.
Just a quick one, I am wanting to debloat my system. What are the safest apps to delete, or are the ones you listed on the first post still good to delete?
Also in regards to the error message in the play store, I used to develop ROMs for HTC devices, and deodexing the ROM caused this same issuer, bearing mind this was on ICS but still.
If you need any help, feel free to PM me.

Thank you. I just wish it was working correctly. Thanks for the info about the deodexing. I never had that issue on KK and never used a deodexed version of ICS. As for the apps to remove, I'll post a list of what I removed without causing any FC's (other than the one you get for deleting the apk because it was running in the background).
I just manually removed xposed, restoring the orig files, and it caused a boot loop. Even though I did clear the cache and dalvik. So I flashed the prerooted LP again without a data wipe. Waiting for it to finish booting though app optimization right now.
Edit:
I can confirm that flashing a prerooted LP without a factory reset will not restore your Play Store. The message WILL still be there, even with a cache clear. Will perform a full wipe when I am back from the store and then try to slim the firmware deodex down and see if I can do it without losing the Play Store while still maintaining the use of Xposed.
Still no luck... I was able to get xposed running but was requiring a cache clear before each boot or else a boot loop would occur. Ill keep everyone posted on the situation if I'm able to fix it.
Just to confirm then mate, is it safe to flash this or not?

I wouldn't unless u want the message in the app store to say "Your device is not compatible with this version". There are other markets so you can always install them if you want to use this. I may do that for the time being because I enjoy having GravityBox features. Almost any app can be found elsewhere besides the Play Store. Ill update OP to let others know
I would not write your 'My Flashable' off so easily...it worked for me Was suffering from the Xposed bootloop and now its gone. Alls back to normal.
My setup (Sony Z3C):
Came from rooted KK 5.77.
Flashed pre-rooted Lollipop with R/W enabled, based on CE1
Ran 'Byeselinux' for recovery
Flashed 'Xposed.zip'
Installed 'Xposed alpha2'
Resulting in the boot loop.
Followed your guide:
Flashed the 3 files, wipe cache/ Dalvik chache & reboot.
Tested by d/l-ing app from Playstore, installed Amplify from Xposed and all is ok and using Debloater by @gatesjunior to block/freeze apps.
PS: @hzr34 actually said it worked for him in a earlier post, thats why I gave it a try.
Thanks :thumbup:. I'm using it as well. Since my last fresh install, I haven't had the play store issue. Been checking it periodically to see and still no issues (fb messenger was saying not compatible).
~ via Xperia Z3, XDA App
I've been doing some research and I've got a few ideas I'll try tomorrow. They should help narrow down the boot loop caused when installing xposed on a fully stock odex LP rom. Off to bed for now tho, 3am =)
Works Great
Thank you a lot!I missed xposed for lollipop,but it worked like a charm for me! I can confim,also,lucky patcher works great.
Ok, so I did a factory reset and flashed the prerooted LP again. Did the normal stuff for recovery then installed LiveBoot, so I could log the boot even if it crashes. So I installed xposed and got a log from the boot loop it created. Im going to go through it now and see if I can figure out whats causing the boot loop when installing xposed on an odex LP. If anyone else is interested and/or is better at detecting problems from logs, I've uploaded em HERE in a zip. One log is a working boot log, the other is the boot loop version. The only difference, besides the boot loop, is that the working log was from when i had xposed working on my deodex mini version. I hope this helps!
I followed these instructions http://forum.xda-developers.com/fire-hd/general/root-supersu-stable-appstore-custom-t3113311 and everything was working fine for a few a while and was even able to have the latest playstore and play services working fine! However today, the play store was booting to white however I could swipe right and the options would appear (With a lot of options missing) indicating it wasn't frozen or anything, eventually I got bored of waiting to see if it'll load and played some games, after an hour or so later a game I was playing froze and I rebooted my Fire HD, and upon doing so Virelauncher appears to have been broken, it launches to solid black (sometimes the kindle default background grey colour) however i can still open up the mini dock and open up apps or swipe down and get into settings yet virelauncher is still broken, I think sometimes it straight up crashes and tries to re-open because I see the orange circle loading animation for a few seconds but it just goes black again, anything I could do? Is it bricked?

So I just encouraged you to update to 4.5.4 over in the rooting thread, but seeing this I think you should hold off. This could all be Gapps, but I can't say.
Please clarify: 12 hours ago you posted (in rooting) that you wanted to update play store, yet here you say that for a while you were "even able to have the latest playstore and play services working fine!." Was that a couple hours or a couple days? Did you reboot during that time and everything stayed fine, or was this your first reboot after services update? thx.

It was a good 10+ hours, a few reboots had occurred during then which is why I'm not sure what happened, Virelauncher appears to be working now though and I don't know how it fixed itself just left it on charge, since everything but playstore is working fine right now what do you recommend I do from here? A step to step guide would be great so no issues occurs this time lol.
But yeah I was able to update the store and services fine and they worked for hours until it went blank though everything else that needs the new services continues to work fine (youtube etc), I haven't tried reinstalling the old versions yet in case it made things worse
Edit, I just managed to replicate the Vire Launcher crashing which was from the game Yugioh Duel Generation by trying to click the premium tab, so beware of that anyone else who maybe reading, Maybe I should try installing a different launcher? Either way I'd really love a step by step guide for what to do from here on as the other tutorials seem to use things that the tutorial I used didnt use or mention.
Your edit sounds like it must be Gapps. When the play store is broken, anything you do in an app that would use the store will fail. Don't know why the failure shows up as launcher crash, but I wouldn't do anything that might use the store until this is sorted out.
You could either roll back to older play services and store or update to 4.5.4 and install new Gapps. I'm not sure I can help with either one. For the update you need TWRP and I have only installed it using TWRP manager from the playstore, which you can't use. To rollback you will need to uninstall play services and store, at least, plus reverse other changes you made when you rooted. Others have more experience with that than I do.
Rollback would be less likely to threaten root or a brick, so suggest you post asking for help with that. @AlbusAngelus did a lot of work on play services/store and may be able to help you.

Ok thanks, since everything besides the playstore is working now and vire launcher stable yet again, I'll make another post about rolling back to the older services, if you remember anything else that can help feel free to share, otherwise thanks for the information.
Edit Virelauncher is dead again after trying to boot Digimon Heroes which used to play just fine, might also be related to the store like you said... now I have to wait for vire launcher to fix it self all over again, until it fixed itself, I would also love to know how to change from vire launcher to Nova Launcher since I hear it's very recommended.

Still having no luck with finding someone who knows how to rollback to a working gapps without breaking more/bricking, however I believe I can indeed confirm that it seems that Google Play store or Google Services is causing the Vire Launcher crash loop, during a crash loop I force stopped both and then Vire Launcer was able to stop crash looping and run again.
Install TWRP with Flashify (bypassing Play Store)

OK. I used Flashify on another device and can tell you how to install TWRP so you can update to 4.5.4, if you want to try. There's always risk. You decide.
1. Get the apk for Flashify, sideload to Fire and install it. (Sideload. Don't try to use play store, right?)
2. Go to bibikalka's root page and download the attachment. (This is JMZ's TWRP img, "openrecovery-twrp-2.8.6.0-ariel.img". You can thank him here).
3. Move or copy twrp img to download folder on tablet.
4. Disconnect from computer.
5. On tablet, open Flashify and give it SuperUser access when prompted. It probably will also prompt to apply loki patch for Kitkat. Say yes.
6. Select "Recovery Image" and select "Choose a File." Navigate to where you put the twrp img file and select it.
7. Flashify will ask if you are sure you want to do this. If you are, select "Yup!" and it should do the install. Exit Flashify (or it may offer to reboot. Don't remember.)
8. Reboot to recovery and see if TWRP is displayed: Power off tablet. Then hold down power and volume-up at same time until you see “Amazon” and then let go.
- If you see TWRP, press "reboot" and then "system." Now you can follow bibikalka's instructions to update and install Gapps. Let me know if you need step-by-step.
- If you get stock recovery screen ("reboot" and "factory reset"), TWRP didn't install. Press reboot and confirm you can get back into Fire.
- If you just boot back into Fire, you didn't power off first.
Good luck. Keep me posted.

This probably should have been an edit but this way you'll get notified, I was able to follow those steps and TWRP appears to be working! I haven't attempted the update process yet since I want to be thorough so if you want to post some step by steps that are clear and precise I'd be in your debt yet again.

Oh, great! You will love how nicely Gapps works on 4.5.4. (Thank you @bibikalka!)
[EDIT2 - September 26, 2015] These steps and the post that links to them are essentially obsolete. If you want to stay on OS 4, follow bibikalka's recommendation in linked post to update to OS 4.5.5.
[EDIT1] This was written for someone with non-working Play Store and ES File Explorer installed. It's now been edited for people who get here from bibikalka's "Upgrade to 4.5.4 and keep TWRP and root" guide and don't have Gapps installed yet.
These are bibikalka's instructions from [upgrade guide] but without b's edits and with a little more detail. This doesn't wipe /data so your apps should all be fine, just finally work.
Install JMZ's Fire tool.
Download the following to Fire's Download folder (or download to computer and copy to Download folder).
- 4.5.4 update zip: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B5VDSXB6iXSmTEQ3cnljNzJhZk0/view?usp=sharing
- Chainfire's SuperSU update zip: https://download.chainfire.eu/696/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.46.zip
- Pico GAPPS for KitKat: http://www.androidrootz.com/2015/03/download-android-44x-kitkat-pa-gapps.html
Turn off wifi.
[*]Look for the following files in /data/app and delete them if found:
- com.android.vending-1.apk
- com.android.vending-2.apk
- com.google.android.gms-1.apk
- com.google.android.gms-2.apk
Boot to TWRP: (a) Power off tablet. (b) Hold down power and volume-up buttons at same time until you see “Amazon,” then release.
Install the 4.5.4 update: (a) Tap Install, (b) navigate to Download folder if needed, (c) tap the zip (twrp_ready_update-kindle . . .) and swipe "swipe to confirm flash."
Note: If you don't see the zips, use button at lower-right to toggle between Zips and Images
Tap Home and install the SuperSU update zip.
Tap Reboot system.
[You'll see an updating message and it will take awhile.]
Boot to TWRP and (a) install the GAPPS zip, (b) wipe cache/dalvik and (c) reboot system.
[Another updating message.]
Open terminal/CMD window and enter following commands (prevents updates from installing):
adb shell
su
pm block com.amazon.otaverifier
If your Fire HD has lockscreen ads that you previously blocked, turn screen off and on a couple times and confirm ads are still gone. If they are back, enter these commands while still in su (note: There is no space in "Service" at the end of the command. It just seems to display that way):
pm disable com.amazon.kindle.kso/com.amazon.kindle.kso.lockscreen.LockscreenUpdateService
adb reboot
Turn on wifi.
Open Play Store and sign in. If you are prompted to update store and/or services, say yes.
Now open Play Store and sign in. (You'll be prompted to update store and/or services. Say yes.) Everything should work now!

Hi, may be a stupid question. But how to install TWRP?
I tried, sideloaded apk but TWRP manager does not run (7.5.1.3).
So I tried to flash from fast boot, but nothing for this error "FAILED (remote: flashing not allowed for locked hw)".
Any help?
Thank' for your post.

OK, I found solution myself. AS also posted in forum, I used Flashify apk (sideloaded) and installa TWRP shared by @bibikalka!. Thank's to all for your work.
This is all great but @bibikalka's 4.5.4 custom file is getting a 429 error at dropbox. Is there a mirror somewhere, or should I just keep trying? Thanks to you both for putting this together, very helpful!

Yeah, I actually found a mirror in the other thread and was running with it, but I'm having a few issues. Silk doesn't work at all, and a recently purchased Kindle book isn't showing in my cloud library. Although old books are there and can download, the purchase from yesterday will not. Maybe related to silk issue? I'll wait for your new mirror and reinstall. Thanks.

Well, it fixed silk (kind of). However, whenever I boot it keeps returning me to the "welcome" Please select your language screen... over and over and over. Ha. Something else need enabled to get this to go away?
I was able to access silk in between one of these loops and it appeared to work.
EDIT: I should probably clarify that I'm not really interested in any custom launcher. The stock Kindle launcher is different from my other android tablets and I don't mind it. I just am trying to get access to the play store with GAPPS and the stock stuff be stable (especially Instant Video). Seems like this is close to happening.

Sorry to hear it. I've seen a few posts about this. Here's a solution:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=61941315&postcount=45

You'll probably find that some or many Google apps don't work from stock launcher, while most things Amazon, including books and video work fine from a custom launcher. But first lets finish getting you set up. Please post back after following steps in link. Take it slowly if unsure and let me know if questions.
Hi,
I'm on XtreStoLite 2.4 5.1.1 on my S6 edge for months now. All was working perfectly. Recently, GPS started crashing randomly, but except for the error, services and sync seemed to be working fine. Now ytdy armageddon started and now Google apps connected to GPS (search, keep, music, but not play store for example) will not run and get killed instantly.
What I did based on what ive found:
- deactivated play services, uninstalled updates and restored the account, GPS 9.0.83 (240-121911109)
- wiped cache/dalvik which helped for couple of minutes
appreciate any help!
I've had problems too with the latest play services on LG G4 H815 6.0 v20d. Google Play Services crashes non boot and Google Chrome crash after a few seconds of opening.
Uninstalling updates fixed it but I'm told by many apps that I need the latest version. I didn't wipe cache though.

True, stopped the apps from crashing, but made them unusable, even Inbox which worked just fined on the corrupted (?) version.

Got a fix. Google apps working. No force closes/errors. Root needed to prevent auto-update to latest version.
i) Get to the May 7th (or earlier) Play Services from here: http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google-inc/google-play-services/
Look at the notes at the top to see which version you need arm or 64 ect.
In you're case, it's '240' so arm64 + arm android 5.0+ version. Direct download for you link: http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google...s-9-0-81-240-121617224-android-apk-download//ii) Enable airplane mode to prevent updates
iii) Then just install the apk on top of your rolled back version. Apks only install if version is newer.
iv) Using a root-enabled file manager like ES File Explorer, open \data\app and create two new, empty folders titled com.google.android.gms-1.apk and com.google.android.gms-2.apk. This tricks Google into causing auto updating of your GPS to fail.
v) Reboot (important)
Optional) Set Google Play Services as a device administrator again under security settings for Device Manager features.
If you get an error during install, then follow this guide to install: http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/help/delete-disable-downgrade-prevent-update-t3091832

Edit: yep. Same here. When I turn internet back on, it updates to latest version. Try installing an older version.
I'll try and find another way to stop auto updates.
Same problem here, uninstalled services by titanium then installed back by apk and flashed open gapps, worked for me
None of those worked for me. Well, I used the opportunity to update XtreStoLite to MM, and problem disappeared, obviously
However, come to think of it, it could have sth to do with Amplify killing processes. Thing is, I didn't manipulate with anything there recently, but after activating xposed module on updated ROM i saw some crashes again. Anyway, I disabled it in any case now, want to see how the battery will last on the updated ROM, but it could be connected

Were you by any chance changing your phones emojis? I was and rebooted and noticed the GPS crash. Undoing emoji changes didn't fit it.

Nope, never!
Both display 'has stopped' / 'keeps stopping' errors. I don't know what to do! I've removed the app data, uninstalled and reinstalled the play store, but nothing seems to work. I can't use my phone properly anymore as I can't download or update ANYTHING!
I broke it. What do I do to fix it?
I'd prefer not factory resetting, as there's a lot on here I'd like to keep and I don't have a current backup. Titanium backup refuses to run also.

Try to go in to Recovery menu and do just "Wipe Cache Partition" , I think that your phone has a problem with launcher .
First download Magisk v20.4.
Then install it via twrp.
Download aptoide to computer.
Run adb install <your file directory> in cmd （or powershell and add .\ before adb）.
At last open aptoide and turn on update for system apps,install beta apps and root installation. It will request root access.Grant the root access to it.Done.You can install any app on aptoide.If not on aptoide send the apk to me and I will upload it.
