I know about the Play Store thread for the fire tablets but they are all running different OS firmware versions to the 5.2.4.1 running on my Fire Stick.
I have tried the original combo on that thread and i had the both the services and the store icons there.
The services gave me a white screen with "google settings" in the top left corner of the screen but then went back to the previous screen.
The store went black for around 10 secs then said the version of the play store i was using was incompatible with my device.
I am only really trying to install it so i can use one app that needs Google Play services to use, BT Sport.
Looks like it is easier to be a pirate and watch it through Kodi illegally than it is to watch it legally.
Has anybody managed to get the play store up and running on a fire stick since the THAT update killed all amazon devices?
Am i wasting my time trying a few different combos?
Just thought i would ask this question now and hopefully have an answer of sorts by the time i get home from work tomorrow.
Any suggestions would be helpful.
This is the wrong place to post it... Also Amazon's FireOS for the FireTV platform is completely different from the FireOS on the tablets. The FireOS for FireTV broke Google Play. Your more likely with the Leanback version of Google Play (It doesn't work either.) as it is for Android TV.

I was looking at getting this, but then I heard that, even though its Android based, it doesn't have the standard apps (maps, gmail, etc.) and it doesn't have Google Play allowing you to download apps...? Thanks.

Amazon wants you to stay in their own ecosystem. You will need to root your kindle fire HD in order install the google play store and to properly install some of the other google apps. The play store however is not a 100% sure way that all apps can be downloaded because it will still tell you on some apps that "this device isn't supported" so you will still have to side load anyways.

Within the last few days, Amazon updated kindle fire is to include a bunch of new features. Before the update, I had side loaded many of the Google apps, including of course the compulsory Google play services.
However, after the update, I could not start the YouTube app whatsoever. I tried many combinations of old versions of the YouTube app, and old versions of the Google play services app, but it still did not work. I then tried using the google play music app, which told me that google play services was not supported on the device. I could not even open Google settings.
The update was to kindle fire os 4.1.1, and to android 4.4.2.
Is this a problem that many people are having, or is it just me? Are there any work arounds?
Hello!
I recently inherited a 4th gen Kindle Fire HD 7 and it's cool, but I currently use Google Play Books to read, but unfortunately, I cannot get it to work on the Fire. I have tried a method on Gizmag (can't post link) but it still doesn't work. I was able to get Google Play Music to work. Everything installs fine, except Play Books continually says "no connectivity". I've tried resetting and installing everything again and my date and time are correct.
Any suggestions or methods to get Google Play Books working on a 4th gen Fire?
Thanks,
Jacob
Hey guys,
I just got a fire tablet 10 hd and I realized that there's no way built-in to mirror my screen to my smart TV. With my Samsung phone there's a mirror setting right in the settings menu that allows me to mirror to my TV or my fire stick. I also have Air Server installed on my Xbox One which allows me to mirror my phone there, too.
The fire tablet 10 doesn't seem to have any way to mirror anything. I downloaded Air Server onto my fire tablet via the google play store and I was able to mirror the fire tablet to my fire stick, but after, like, 20 seconds, it says "air served closed" and it automatically disconnects the fire tablet from the fire stick.
My question is, is there a reliable app that I could install that could get my fire tablet 10 to mirror to Samsung Smart TV, Fire stick, and or Apple TV? I have access to the google play store.

Can you use the Chromecast and install Google Home from Google Play store
If you don't have a Chromecast. Android TV has a Chromecast built-in. You have it.
Or use TeamViewer.

Oi - please stop responding to old posts (in this instance nearly two years old) with incorrect, irrelevant or incomplete information. Google Home will not run well, if at all, on FireOS v5. Play Store is not natively available on Amazon devices; side loaded builds have proven increasingly unreliable although it remains a viable option. Best course of action is to unlock and install a custom ROM (which brings other problems) but there isn't enough info in the OP to determine if this is even possible.
I installed the Play Store on my Kindle Fire HD 10 & it is allowing me to add free & paid apps. My problem is for apps I've already paid for, but when I go to Play Store online (from my Mac), it is not showing my Fire in the dropdown for me to "re-diliver" to a device.
From the Fire, it shows the app is purchased in the Play menu, but tells me I already bought it, if I try to re-purchase it.
I don't recall this problem on THIS tablet previously, but I had to factory reset for a battery issue last night & now I can't get all my apps reinstalled.
Thanks for any suggestions or proven solutions.
