Google Contacts - Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Does anyone have a link to a version of Google Contacts that works on an unrooted Fire? I'm running 5.1.1
I found this version but when I open it on my fire it says it isn't compatible with my device.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.contacts
Thanks in advance.

So is no one using a contact app on their fire?

I have it, but not using it. However, I have CM12.1 and another one with SlimLP.
If you have FireOS, probably are missing all the other apps/dependencies needed, which might be part of gapps. I would think...

Thanks Shabuboy,
I am running FireOS but I have gapps installed. It's odd that gmail & calendar run but not contacts. If no one comes up with a solution I may have to look at other contact apps. I hope that I can find one that syncs with Google.

Think it's more that most here are rooted and/or on third party roms, lots kept 5.0.1 too.
I've got google contacts but I'm on rooted stock and think I installed it flashing opengapps.

Google contacts definitely works on mine on stock (albeit having flashed much of mini gapps) doesn't show on play store on mine though.
There's only one version (1.1) on apkmirror for android 5.1+ the only other one is for 6+

Thanks Pond-life & sd_shadow.
The v1.1 app seems to be working.

It maybe possible to update in play store, once older version is installed.
Not positive about that though.

It doesn't appear in installed apps list on play store. Not sure if there is a newer non marshmallow one anyway though, guess it's not the sort of app that needs constant updates.

I was interested in looking for this kind of application earlier, but found that Amazon's default contact app was not so bad. If you need to use Google's, the latest version on apkmirror should be compatible.

Google Wallet for the HTC ONE.
-Easy fix for viper Rom
-Should work on stock rooted w/ wp . -removed Kernal
-Always save your original build.prop before modifying
Using Rom Toolbox
1. Open up build.prop editor
2. Change the following values
ro.product.model=Galaxy Nexus
ro.product.name=yakju
ro.product.device=maguro
3. Save changes
4. Reboot device, install wallet and open
-wallet takes a couple minutes to initialize so be patient, it works great!
5. Restore your original build.prop
This method should work fine on stock rooted also as long as you have a kernal with /system wp removed.
Also, if you don't want Rom toolbox you can navigate to /system/build.prop and open the file in any text editor to make the changes.

Hey does this affect the camera in any kind of way? Like the face cam. I know there was an issue with the tint of the cam. It had a red tint on the evo lte when we started doing this in the beginning.

No.....once you get Google wallet initialized and working your gonna put your original build.prop back

Honestly I'm not sure where I got it. I believe that it came from Viperrom. Duce says that it wasn't added in d3rpONE (I noticed mine working while I was on d3rpONE, but I think something restored it from viperrom), and the only other ROM that I've run is Viper's.

ah i see. think you could send me the apk? seems like you probably restored your apps+system data from d3rp rom to viper, as im running viperrom too and not seeing any wallet app.
Here's the link for the working (non-modified) Wallet apk that I use, with screenshot showing it on my One.
https://www.4shared.com/download/NJgEOM_0/Wallet_16-R96-v16.apk
Just install the apk normally through a file explorer, no need to push with ADB, or do anything in recovery. I uninstalled mine and tested just to be sure.

Ok - so just to confirm (I'm a bit of a newbie) Google Wallet works on the HTC One, but you still have to root the device, yeah? Will using the DevUnlock tool from HTC work, or...?

I tried that, but when it starts up, it says that "Google Wallet is not yet available for your device or mobile network."
I'm on AT&T.
(I guess I'm in the wrong group? I had it running on my AT&T Nexus S just fine, but I really wanted to upgrade
Think rooting would help overcome the problem of being on AT&T? Not sure why it worked on my Nexus S, since it was on AT&T too... I may have bought it as an unlocked phone, originally...
Not sure if there's any difference in support between carriers. Sorry

Maps

Is there a way to revert back to the Maps version 6.0 without being rooted? I went to settings, apps, maps and it does not have the options to uninstall update which is 7.0.2.
I'd say find the old apk and reinstall it

if you want to go back that bad you can always rsd back to stock firmware and start over and don't let it update lol. that is a terrible way to do it but assuming it is not the new apk built into the stock firmware you would be good.
You should be able to install it via a file explorer if you can find the apk to download. Settings>Security>unknown sources needs to be checked.

Here you go. I kept a copy in case I ever wanted to go back. It should install right over the new version. Just don't update it via the play store.

I ended up uninstall in the update to gear manager and reinstalling it. Lost my root though on the gear. Have to wait till I get home to see if it will root again. I think it updated the software version on the gear.
What is the software version you all have on the gear currently?
I'm currently at: V700XXUAMII (software version)

Gear Manager Version 1.2.131011 is what I have here and loaded it on Monday (10/21/2013).
Watch says V700XXUAMII
BTW, I have always seemed to get about two days per charge yet use the watch rarely per se, so battery life has been relatively impressive (no custom face loaded).

Got the same version . . Who has a newest one?

Here is the latest Gear Manager apk. Suggest uninstalling previous version (seems to be the case each update ) then you need to reset your Gear (this also sucks). I couldn't get restore to work so just had to start again. It kept root, busybox, and my modded camera, but lost my apps (store and sideloaded) photos. You can try uninstalling the seperate parts that the manager installs as that looks to be the main issue with update, but it just reinstalls them. The other issue I found is that you also need to remove your Gear apps so that you can reinstall them
v1.2.131013 (23 Oct): http://www.mediafire.com/download/ibwt5qjpak335d5/com.samsung.android.app.watchmanager-1.apk
EDIT: I'm not sure it was in there before, but I see Gmail as an option in notifications (I don't use or even have the app installed on my phone)
EDIT 2: Had posted as 131011 version, however it is actually the 131013 version. Looks like store was reporting incorrect version number

Can you post the 1.0.5?
I currently have 1.0.5 as well and it seems to just disconnect randomly. The last known working version I had was 1.0.4.. It worked great and the battery didn't drain as much.
I also did just exchangey watch due to a camera issue. I wonder if this watch is messed up with the Bluetooth. Is anyone else having issues with 1.0.5.?
