how can i use google maps, GPS and navigation without having a internet connection?
use another navigation software (sygic mobile maps for example) which support offline maps
google only buffers partial maps, so that an internet-connection is urgent needed
YOU CAN'T USE GOOGLE MAPS OFFLINE. better get navdroyd from the market. ONLY 5 EURO AND YOU GET A WORLDWIDE OFFLINE NAVIGATION. I DOWNLOADED THE WHOLE EUROPEAN MAP AND IT'S 2 GB WITH 3D AND POI.

Is there an app that can download a predefined area and then put that data in the offline cache of google maps ( v5.0 supports offline caching)?
Hey guys anyone out there not using gapps with his custom rom ? I am on Lineage 15.01 official oreo build and i dont have google apps installed on my phone.
I use fdroid and yalp store and micro g services. Apps crashes sometimes and it can get painfull but mostly everything works.
One of the disadvantages is that youtube doesn't work you can only browse it through the web. Some other applications also.
For navigation i use offline maps. With games i had no problem.
Anyone tweaked micro g to make youtube play ?
Did you tried YouTube vanced ?
Try it installing from magisk manager app.
What about newpipe ? it is available on f-droid and have tons of features that official youtube app doesnt

Use Newpipe.
Thanks, i downloaded the app. Any ideas on e-mail clients, i used FairEmail for a while but it didn't work as expected. Browsing the web to open my gmail is a lot more trouble.

Outlook maybe?
i am not a big fan of Microsoft either. I am using outlook at work. I also use Microsoft Excel on my device..
But i can say that not using gapps is not a problem, the phone is cleaner and google is not on the background eating sources.
Duck duck go also is a great browser.

Hi
I have successfully added Google Play Store to my Fire HD 8 (2022) and downloaded Youtube Kids. Of course part of this included installing Google Account Manager, Google Services Framework and Google Play Services. However when I attempt to launch Youtube Kids I get the following error:
"YouTube Kids won't run without Google Play services, which are missing from your device"
It goes without saying Google Play services is installed on my device. I tried clearing the data and cache and also updating it still no joy. Normal Youtube app works fine and so does Google Chrome, its just Youtube Kids that is not working.
It's worth noting this Fire HD 8 (2022) is running Fire OS 8.3.1.3. I have another Fire HD 8 (2020) which is running Fire OS 7 and Youtube Kids works fine. Could it be that the new OS is not compatible?
Please Help my kids are driving me mad!
Much appreciated!

Better do fa factory reset first.

Thanks for your reply but I have done this already in that I have successfully installed google play store and even downloaded Youtube Kids, its just that when I try to launch Youtube Kids it doesn't work. Instead I get the error "YouTube Kids won't run without Google Play services, which are missing from your device" although I have installed google play services as can be seen in the screenshot which shows my installed apps.

Those downloads no longer exist. New links?
Same problem, all other apps work, except for Youtube and Youtube kids.
When I go to install the Youtube kids apk, it says "Not available in your region".
Fixed, worked when I sideloaded the APK.. was downloading directly on Fire Tablet.
While the APK does indeed work every morning I get the same error again so i have to uninstall it and re install the apk every morning, so another fix would be amazing too while this one kinda works
I just spent 3 hours trying to get Youtube Kids working.
I really didn't want to install a dodgy modified APK, which could essentially have anything included.
Here's the solution:
- Uninstall any existing version of Youtube Kids
- Download and install YT Kids 6.37.5 from apkmirror (trusted source for original APK files)
- Open Play Store, search for YT Kids, disable automatic updates for this app, by clicking the 3 dots at the top right
This is the latest version I could find, which works on the HD 8, 12th Gen, without giving a play services error.
Because this is the legit original APK from Google, it will actually log you in, giving you access to history and other features.
Don't forget the final step, otherwise it will automatically update to a newer version which doesn't work!
(Testing as working - versions 6.16 and 6.24.3 and 6.37.5)

This still didn't work for me. Also, I didn't have a disable updates button. Instead, mine showed a check box for enable auto updates which was already unchecked by default. Any chance you could link each APK you downloaded for all of the Google stuff? I'm wondering if I clicked a wrong version somewhere.

I used the links provided above by engage4
Because I was also worried that maybe the Google files I used from another tutorial wouldn't be compatible.
The only other thing I did is to install regular YouTube from the play store, open that and select my Google account.
I did that before opening YouTube Kids.
I don't know if it makes a difference.

Thank you very much. Had the same problem and with this method it is working.
Hopefully it will work in the future also with the newer versions.
Thread cleaned of links and quotes to an APK from a shady site and in Violation of Rule 9 - Don't get us in Trouble.

I just want to confirm that this method works on the HD 8 12th Gen.
I used disabled wifi, Fire Toolbox to debloat, add custom launcher, install google services. I made sure that google play auto-updates was OFF. I then SIDELOADED via Toolbox the 6.37.5 version. I then enabled wifi, opened Google play and pressed three dots to disable auto updates. Signed in. Searched YT kids, again made sure it wouldn't auto-update by pressing 3 dots top right (DO NOT PRESS UPDATE). I then installed regular youtube, loaded it up and signed in. From within regular Youtube I clicked on my profile icon top right, scrolled down and pressed YouTube Kids (I don't think this is necessary, but since that's what I did and it worked I'll note it here).
Finally it works! Basically you can't have 'child profiles' and all that jazz, but you can declutter and restrict a fair amount and hide the browsers etc.

Hey Man. Thank you so much for the post. It worked a Treat.
I installed the 4 apps from a YouTube video (APK Mirror ) links and then installed YouTube Kids v6.37.5. Kid is very happy!
Hi,
I bought a ChromeCast and I have to use TalkBack on it because I'm blind. By default the Google TTS is installed but this speech engine is very slow and I have to wait a long time (some seconds) each time I press a button before TalkBack read selected item.
On PlayStore, I find no other TTS available for ChromeCast, I downloaded the installer for Vocalizer TTS (I bought this engine on my phone so I can use it on any Android device associated to my google account) but it's an XAPK file and I don't know how to install an XAPK on ChromeCast.
Can someone know an alternative TTS available on ChromeCast (with support for french language also) or know how to install XAPK file?
Thanks in advance.
Xapk files are associated with a 3rd party app store called apk pure. If you install its app you can download and install xapk from there. Also the app you require is on that app store.
espeak?
