[Q]Google Framework Question - 7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Sorry to make this post, but I've searched using the xda app and cannot seem to find anything.
I installed the Google Framework on my rooted Kindle Fire HD 7" When I got it (about 3 months ago?) And have not updated it since.
I have the Google playstore on here, as well as gmail. All works fine, except for a few things missing from the Google playstore (can't seem to update most apps installed through the playstore).
Is there a way to update the playstore or, if it's relevant, the framework itself?
Any help is appreciated as well as links to helpful posts, that I can't seem to find
Thanks

[Q] youtube.apk version in autonooter?

Does anyone know where I could find the youtube.apk version that is installed by the autonooter? I was trying to install the HDYouTube app and in the middle of the learning curve to do that, deleted the old one improperly. Now it won't let me install the HD version because it doesn't match the signature of the nooter version.
Sorry if this has been mentioned before, I searched about and couldn't find it anywhere.

I wouldn't go for the "auto-nooter's version, it's quite bad. I gave the link to EVO's 'HQ YouTube.apk' in my blog (fineoils.blogspot.com), and you can use an ordinary adb install. After you uninstall the older one, sure.
With this "HQ" version installed, search for 'HD trailer' in this YouTube app and enjoy. Even pre-A2.2/pre-Flash10.1, NC's graphics engine is awesome.
(Wish they port iOS'es Veetle app to Android one of these days...)
Sadly, instead of uninstalling the old one, I deleted it straight out of /system/apps - so now, it won't let me install a new version due to a signature mismatch. Was kinda hoping to re-install that particular version and THEN properly uninstall it and use your HD version.
Well, don't look at me... I uninstalled it by regular app uninstall, and didn't "pull" it, to have a reserve copy, sorry.
Look for NC users who about to do the HQ YouTube trick in my thread here somewhere.
Was just getting reading to install ther HD youtube.
Hope this is what you needed.
Thanks! Was able to install that apk, then properly uninstall it, then install the HD app which works like a charm. Fantastic video quality.

[Q] Google Play

Recently I acquired a new G1 Dev phone and I just got done applying CM 6.1. So far I'm very pleased with the overall result. One thing that doesn't seem to work (or I just don't do something right) is "Market" (now Google Play). If I click on the "Market" icon the web browser opens and I see the Google Play Terms of Service. One would think that there would be a "agree" button but I can't seem to find it. I would be thankful for any tips, hints, ideas.
Please don't post questions in the general section.

1 - Try to install apk of Google Play 3.10.10 ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2001595) or
2 - Rotate Screen
Hi guys - I'm having a similar problem with my G1. Recently I've reflashed from Donut by Laszlo to CM5.0.8 and everything was fine. Yesterday I reflashed again, this time going for the 2708+ port - basically CM5.0.8 with ramhack. I flashed with Gapps that didn't include google maps as it was said it would be a bit more stable. Plus I don't really need them so I was glad to have saved some space. What I didn't know was, it didn't contain the Market app either. Now I'm trying to get the market installed but can't seem to succeed. I found an apk that I installed and it worked for a bit, but when started downloading it forceclosed. So I tried an edited google play app, that was supposed to work on the Eclair versions of android and it failed, so I tried to install the previous one again, but that one forcecloses now instantly.
So does anyone know of a Market app for CM5 that is stable, or do I need to reflash Gapps? I would prefer simply a market app, if there is a stable one anywhere...
Never mind actually. Got it to work. I used the wrong Gapps before - that's why the Market didn't work and forceclosed. Just downloaded different Gapps, removed unwanted apks, flashed and that's it. All is fine...

[Q] Google Apps

Okay, so I got my KFHD 7" rooted finally, now I'm having some issues.
I got google play installed along with gmail and a few other google apps. After doing all of that, facebook no longer works ("Facebook has stopped.") and gmail didn't work from the get-go ("Gmail has stopped.").
I'm getting this error with Google Play - "Error retrieving information from server. [DF-DFERH-01]"
Edit: Okay, looks like I was able to get the market working by using Market Enabler.
Edit 2: I got gmail working by uninstalling the version I had installed and installing it from Google Play.
I followed this tutorial to get google play installed and I followed this tutorial to get everything else installed.
Can anyone offer any advice? Thank you in advance.
Looks like I'm answering a lot of my own questions but i'm going to leave this here in case someone else has the same issue(s).
Thanks!
Had the same problem here with the "Facebook has stopped" error.
Uninstalled and re-installed from google play, no problems now

[Q] Will apps designed for Kindle work on ROM'd KFHD?

Sorry if this has been asked before, I searched and didn't find what I was looking for...
I am currently running Kinology 3.2 and would like to switch to CM11, but I use several Kindle apps (such as this)
Will these apps still work if I'm running CM11?
Thanks
I don't know or not, most apps work, but I will say this I don't know about apps from Amazon's store, last time I transferred a free app from one kindle to another it threw a fit and said I didn't own it which I laughed at since it was free. If its in the Google market you can always get it that was assuming its free, or backup its apk and make a backup in twrp of kinology, then flash cm and install the app and see what happens.

Yes apps from the amazon appstore will work. I have cm11 and installed the appstore and downloaded apps I had on there.

I think he's asking if apps specific to Kindle work. There's several apps that have "Kindle Edition" versions. hamiltonfighter, I do not think they will work. But you can try, it won't hurt anything.

How to enable Google Voice Typing?

I have a Kindle Fire 5th gen, running Fire OS 5.1.1 rooted. I've installed the Google Keyboard, which is vastly superior to the stock one. But the keyboard does not display the microphone button for voice typing, and the option to enable it does not appear in Google Keyboard's settings.
I looked on a CM12 device to see if there was an APK I could sideload, but didn't see anything that was obvious from its name. Is this something I can add to Fire OS, or is it functionality that's core to the OS that can't be added via APK?
Thanks in advance for any help.
I had this issue as well, and it turned out that the solution was:
1. Go to Settings -> Keyboard & Language
2. Click "Show/hide keyboards"
3. Set "Google Voice Typing" to on
That fixed it on mine, so I hope that works!
I got it working by first installing the google keyboard, and then installing "google" it's just called google, made by google on the play store. I also had to install the google now launcher. after installing all of the above, the option to turn on google voice typing appeared in the keyboard menu, and the microphone icon appeared in the google keyboard (also in AnySoftKeyboard, which is my preferred keyboard) it may have required me to download an additional app at this point, I'm not 100% sure if i also had to google install text to speech, or if that was one of the things I tried on the way to getting it to work. I did have to restart in order to get it to work properly, but now it works just fine.
You'll probably want to go into google settings > search & now > voice and turn on "offline speech recognition", and download the correct language pack, or it can get a little flakey at times.
I just downloaded suggestions & somehow I think it's working. I don't know which one of those things was the essential one but the most important thing to me was to get back the microphone which your good directions helped me to do. Many thanks from a lady in NYC
Worked for Google but not yet on the Gboard
I don't use voice typing but as far as I know, it works. I hit the microphone sometimes by accident. Also make sure you have a language pack downloaded and enabled. I am pretty sure you have to do i t all through Google. Once the Amazon Keyboard is uninstalled you can't use any of the apps it used for voice typing. Sorry if this is of no help. I never used it so never bothered to see if it worked.
Just tried it. Works fine for me.
Wow guys I think installing that just Google named app done it!
I searched for this so often never found it.
thanks all of you
I don't see Google or GBoard in the Amazon Apps store. I'm using a 2017 Fire HD 10". I'd love to get voice typing onto this thing. Any other suggestions?

Need to install a Google Play Services and Store. Once complete you can grab both apps from the Play Store.
Thanks to this thread, I now have my Voice to text working great on my new Kindle Fire HD 10, 7th Generation (10.1").
Here's what I did:
Installed the .apk files to get the Google Play Store (did that the first thing I got the Kindle)
Downloaded the GBoard, or Google Keyboard
Downloaded the Google app (just plain google which finally put an option in my Keyboard & Language area to select the "Google Voice Typing"
So now I have a microphone in my "Google Search Bar", and, the microphone appeared on my Google Keyboard.
Thank you all, and these were the only steps it took to work, for me anyway with the Kindle HD 10, 7th Gen.

I put Google Play Store on a Fire 8 (6th Gen) but it seemed to slow the device down. Yes, a clear cache reboot helped for awhile. So now I have a Fire 10 (2017 edition) and guess what? The fire keyboard has no microphone! Yep, unbelievable. So I used APKMirror to get GBoard but still no mic. This Forum saved the day. There was no option to just change the setting to use Voice typing as others discovered but as suggested, I again used APKMirror to get just the Google app, not the whole store and changed the keyboard settings on the Fire. Perfecto! Installing the Google Store did not seem to be necessary.
I look forward to looking at your other entries DragonFire1024. Thanks!

When I found out you could install just the Google app, I was hoping Alexa and Google Assistant would talk to each other lol. Maybe one day I'll try to do that.

That would be sure to start an argument

That would be sure to start an argument between them! As neither are really very smart. You know how it is when two dumb people argue, right? Not a pretty sight.
I noticed several months ago on my Kindle Fire 8 that, while the search bar allowed it, the latest update to Gboard wasn't permitting voice typing, even when the mic icon was showing. I just got a Fire 10 and was hoping not to have the same problem, but, noooo. As I have done with all of my Kindle Fire tablets, I d/l the APK files which facilitate Google, and installed all of that, including Gboard. I've got all my settings to enable it, the mic icon is there, and the voice meter even moves as though sound is being recorded and, still, no voice typing.

Verify applicable disable any firewalls or ad-blocking tools; proven solution for similar problems on other devices (if disabling does fix the problem then you can narrow the focus to GBoard and Google Play Services)
