Running VEGAn 5.11 + supplement. Did the full market fix multiple times (and VEGAn has the "correct" fingerprint in build.prop). The market seems to have just about everything.... but....
Can't find Astro Bluetooth module. A very few other things don't show up like Messageease (was debating not reinstalling it anyway -- had tried it on a different tablet). Vlingo was another one I noticed missing.
But I do see lots and lots of apps.
BTW, if you redo the market fix, your "My apps" looks like it just has the paid apps in it until you install something else -- then all your links come back (whew). Seems like I read that somewhere before but....
I just checked, its showing up in my market. I'm running TwoTapsX, so the info may not help you at all, but its there for me.
Thanks Karl, I guess I'm going to have to go get the apk off of another device. What do people without proper markets do for finding these apks?

Personally, I use a different device (an A81E with market fix applied) & then side-load to other devices. Interestingly, on my Gtab, running Vegan 5.1b, I was able to download astro bluetooth module via the market, and have since side-loaded it to the A81E. Now running Vegan 5.1.1b, and no longer see this app in the market. Glad I grabbed it when I did.
Hi I've searched the forums for a solution to this, it seems to be a common issue across multiple platforms.
I haven't been able to find a concrete reason for the error or a solution.
Can anyone enlighten me on how to overcome this please? Any further details required let me know:
Rooted fire hd on 7.2.3
Trying to install met office app and Vodafone app and google maps, and others same error every time.
Thanks

xamol,
Sorry for the delay, we have bee busy today. If I understand you correctly, you are using Google Play Store, when you
go to some of the applications like Google Maps, Google Play responds with:
"Your device isn't comparable with this version"
The reason is that Google Play does a simple hardware inventory, saves it to an XML file, this XML file is
queried by certain software vendors. In the case of Google Maps, the Kindle is missing a GPS device,
this is the reason for the error. Now, we have been able to "side load" Google Maps, Latitude, Local, Navigation
and many others, you can take a peek here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=36121991 if you need any help, just send us a
message. We have been able to side-load many applications.
Hi All,
I am a proud owner of the Kindle Fire HD and I am pretty new in the Android World.
I have rooted the computer with success. Afterward I have installed all the applications as indicated (Market, Vending and Google Play).
Now the application gives me an error message with "could not retrieve information from the server". Does anybody knows how to resolve this?
Does it have to do something with a log, data, settings, IP address, location (residing outside the USA), user account, particular file, etc.
Can somebody PPPPPPPLLLLLLLEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAASSSSSSSSSSSEEEEEEEEEE help me with this? I am almost giving it up......
Thanks in advance.

No worries, this is a common error and is no way caused by geographic location. Google
Play Store works throughout the world, including China, although the Chinese attempt
to block Google Play. The problem is either the Google Play Framework is corrupt or
the Vending.apk is corrupt. Let's first replace the Vending.apk application. We have
attached Vending.apk to this thread. Download Vending.apk, move it to /Kindle Drive/
Internal Drive/Download. Then using ES File Explorer with Root Settings enabled, move
/sdcard/Download/Vending.apk to /system/app. You will get a warning, click yes
to replace Vending.apk. Next, change the permissions on Vending.apk to Owner: Read Write
Group: Read Others: Read. Next click on /system/app/Vending.apk choose Install.
After you complete the install of Vending.apk, then download Phonesky.apk which
is attached to this thread, move it to /Kindle Drive/Internal Drive/Download. Next
click on /sdcard/Download/Phonesky.apk to install and upgrade the Google Store
to Version 3.10.10. Then go to your /Apps, click on Google Play Store icon, Agree
to the License and attach an account to Google Play Store. If this does not
resolve your problem I will give you instruction on how to upgrade the Google
Framework.
Unfortunately I am having the same problem. Where can I find an uncorrupted googleplayframework? Thank by the way for your quick response and effort.

profgokker,
We have over 300 people a day download the same files I gave you, so you can be well assured
They are good. OK, to the problem. You are sure that you did not install a firewall, correct? Did you
install any security software? If no and no, first COMPLETELY uninstall Google everything, through
the Kindle Uninstall Service, we can not take a chance that one package is effecting Google Play.
Remove all items that you recently moved to /system/app. The Reboot the Kindle. Check the
Amazon Add Remove Programs - anything Google left? If no, you are good to take the next
step. Go to our Tutorial [How to] Install Google Play, the link is here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2069329
The idea here is simple. We will be replacing everything Google and since we have over
300 successful installs a day through those instructions and packages. The good new is
that the download package included in the tutorial will be slightly different than the files
I gave you today. If you still are not working after do a complete reinstall, there is
something wrong with the Kindle or your network. You can also send it into our firm,
we do offer Kindle Repair but I really do not believe you will have to take this drastic
step. You may call me as well, the first 5 minutes is free.
I still could not get through, same message again. I followed every instruction, but I am not sure what you mean with "Amazon Uninstallation Service", could you explain this further?
I even set everything to 'factory settings' and rooted the table again.
How do I know if it is a devide problem or network problem? If I go to the internet site of google.play, I have a similar message (server error), does this indicate a network issue? Or is this normal?
I will try it one more time and than I have no other option to contact you. Although I already give it up for google play on my kindle.
Thanks for your effort and fast response, which I appreciate very much.
I just noted that I just cannot access Google play from my location., not even via the internet. It looks that Google play has blocked my region (Caribbean), very frustrating. I tried to access it at workplace with company computer, other computers in my home; Google play just gives an error. Now I accessed a computer in Europe, and voila......' working there
Amazon does also not even allow me to the webshop (no US credit card).
Does anybody have a solution? Or just switch to Apple? Very disappointed in the of the kf
I just installed Orbot (there is also a post on xda), followed the instruction and voila...... i have access to Google Play.
So there is a block for my region for Google Play and I bypassed this via the program.

profgokker,
Are you in a Corporate Network or is this at home? The reason I ask is we have customers that
originate in the Caribbean and I have not hear any complaints unless your ISP is blocking Google Play.
Either way, I am glad you were able to make it work with Orbot Proxy Server:

This is a great program.
Hello,
Browsing some sites, i have stumbled upon this particular app https://play.google.com/store/apps/...l=pl&rdid=com.visionobjects.calculator&rdot=1
It looks very interesting, so i wanted to check, how it performs on my nook.
Firstly, Play Store says "incompatible". But this is not how i used to work out - some apps work, even they are not supported on Market.
But it is; it does not install, so i tried using adb. The issue is, while installation, in cannot find shared library "com.sec.android.app.multiwindow".
Any ideas?
Hey,
I just installed CM12.1. Everything works great (thanks!) and I tried to install some apps via Play Store.
However, some of them are greyed out. At first I thought it could be due to the lack of GPS and apps that need location such as Grindr Ingress couldn't be installed. But I did it through adb install and they run great.
It also happened with Fenix, BitTorrent Pro, or Yi action cam app.
Is there any way to fix it? I read the first ten pages of this forum and couldn't find anything.

Not currently but there are some interesting developments in another thread that may reduce the number if apps "greyed out" in the Play Store. For now you will need to side load.
