Amazon Appstore for Android - Moto G Themes and Apps

Guys,
I can only install the app outside google play to put the apk on google drive. I put the amazon app (app store) and managed to install.
But the Amazon offers a free app a day and I can not install on moto G. Anyone know how I could install the apps coming from the amazon app store?

Do a factory reset. (settings - backup & reset - factory data reset)
then you'll be able to install sideloaded apks. (if i doesn't work repeat the process)

Seems like everyone is having this problem, and the only definitive method found to fix it is doing factory resets, so maybe you should try a couple more times. (sou do Brasil tbm ^^)

Apparently you can get around this problem using Drive to install the APK's.
I now is a bit of a hassle but you can download the APK's with the Humble app, upload them to Drive and them install!
(Sou do Brasil also)

I know about this workaround, but i don't think is a good choice download/upload/download a 300mb to play a game =/
As i said before, the issue was solved after 9/10 Factory Resets.. i dont know whats gone wrong before, i did the same process all the times...

using "adb install file.apk" it's much quicker and saves Google forcing us to use Drive.

Hey Luke,
Been experiencing this problem ever since i got this phone, i've now tried every firmware update possible, no real fix as yet. I suspected it had something to do with the fact that i moved from a Nexus One with Froyo back to Eclair, but it sounds like you haven't done that.
Let me know if you find a fix... would love to be able to use my market the way it was intended.
No YouTube connect

Thanks for the tip but it did not work. I'm having a problem where the imei number on the phone using *#06# is different to the case imei. I don't get how the numbers changed, but would desperately appreciate if someone could tell me how to match them up again?
I also have a problem with try to correct by changing .imei in /system /efs to match case imei but after reboot it keep changing back.

yes thanks that was the solution iforget todo factory reset
now works fine
I already had 2 crash/freeze with this kernel, it looks definitely unstable.
2 crashes situation :
1/ Pressing stop/play in xiialive lite
2/ listening audio in the standard mp3 player.
It crashed both time using the audio device.
I waited 1min the first time, hoping OOm killer or something else would kill a bad behaving process; without success.
The second time, i did not had time to loose :/
Very disapointing !
2 days after installing JS2 I'm still unable to connect to Market.
I'm unable to setup the Google login. Error is always no server available or something in that manner. Selecting clearing cache in recovery also did not help either.
Any suggestion is highly appreciated.
Thanks.
If you are not able to login to the market, then you will have a general problem..
Because you can even login if you dont have the market fix..
The market fix is just for secure apps...

Connect to wifi first, then go to market and it will ask you to access to your gmail account!

Another problem on my other phone
Hi. I instaled this on one of my phones and everything is perfect, however, with my other Bravo, Im gaving problems because I get: cant establish a reliable data connection to the server... and I can never log in to google... any ideas? I have already tried clearing cache, and resintalling everyting from scratch, to no avail. and I know google is not down because I can creat and log into another account with my other bravo.
As a followup to this problem, I tried connecting to Google on another wifi hotspot and it worked... I guess the settings of my IP are somehow incorrect at home, does anyone have any idea on what the correct settings should be... I can connect to Google at home once Im signed in from another IP.

Huawei G510 - Root, Google apps and multiple languages

Hi there, I came to this forum searching for an answer to how to root a Huawei G510 (U8951), remove Chinese stuff and install Google apps (Play, Maps, Gmail, etc.) on the said device and turns out I could not find an answer. At least partialy, as there was a link to htcmania, a spanish forum.
As most of you (and me) can't speak spanish, here is a quick guide to do all those things to your phone.
I don't know if I'm required to, but here goes a warning: doing ANYTHING from this guide can brick your smartphone, make it otherwise useless or void your warranty. I'm not saying that's a remote possibility, or if anything goes bad I can help you easily, I'm saying that's very, very likely, so if you'll follow this guide rest assured of these facts.
First of all, you must assure you have the right phone, as the G510 has multiple versions (0010, 0100, 0200) sold in different places around the world. This guide was intended to be used on a G510-0010, U8951 (Unicom version) of this particular smartphone. As far as I'm concerned, it does work on 0200 (Orange Daytona as sold in Spain), but I can't assure.
Secondly, you'll need a micro SD card, so if you don't have one you can't go any further. Buy one and come back.
Part 1: Root
That's the risky thing to do, so if you're faint of heart stop here.
Step 1
Download the boot.img from B165 rom.
https://mega.co.nz/#!G8QCRYDA!Wy1773Iw27m5OHpCVPfL5TpmH-o9olgV19TlCAvNsas
Step 2
Download UnlockRoot
http://www.unlockroot.com/download.html
Step 3 (optional, and G510-0010 only. If you won't update your phone's firmware, jump to step 5)
Download the latest version of your phone's firmware (B182, mine came with B168 version)
http://download-c.huawei.com/tcpsdo...category=cn&flay=software&downloadID=NDIzNjA=
Step 4 (optional)
Extract the contents of the firmware file, then locate the dload folder. Copy it to the root of the microsd card. Now you can apply the firmware update in 3 different ways: a) turn your phone on while holding both volume keys, it'll put your phone on update mode and install the update.app you downloaded, b) open the update app from the tools folder on one of your phone's homescreens, c) go to settings -> about phone -> system update. The update software will tell you the process will take about 2 minutes, but that's a big whooper. Here it took almost 15, and almost freaked me out meanwhile.
Step 5
Now do the same with the boot.img you downloaded (extract, copy the dload folder to microsd card root and use one of the three means to flash the firmware file). That time it'll be very quick.
Step 6
I'm assuming you have the drivers for your device. As far as I can remember (the cellphone now belongs to my GF) they're in your phone's virtual disk you get when you plug your phone to your computer. If not, Google Handset_WinDriver.exe and install it. Turn your phone on, go to settings -> Developer options and turn USB Debugging on. Now hook your phone to your computer and run UnlockRoot, hit Root, wait until your device shows up and click on it. Wait until it asks you to install some crapware and answer no (you can also answer yes, that's your choice, I'm not telling you what to do or anything...). Now your phone is rooted, with SuperSu and other software installed, and ready to the next steps.
Part 2: Google Apps AND multiple languages
To go beyond this point you need to have your phone rooted. If not, go back to part 1 and root your phone.
Step 1
All you'll need to download now are apk files you can find here on xda, so I'm not giving specific links. You'll need:
ES File Explorer (or any other rooteable file manager)
GoogleServicesFramework
GoogleLoginService
Play Store (phonesky.apk)
Step 2
Install ES File Explorer, then go to Root Explorer and remount /system as RW. Copy the other apks to /system/app. Now long press each of the files you copied (it can only be done one by one with ES), then hit properties -> change and check all the boxes in column Read, on the column Write check only User then uncheck all other checkboxes. The permissions will now show rw-r--r--. Restart your phone. When it starts it'll probably show you the "optimizing apps" screen and Play store will show up in one of your home screens (as this phone has no drawer for apps). Once you logged in with your (or created a) Google Account it will be able to install any app from Google play store and you can also enjoy the "amazing" Huawei store. Not finished, you can get really amazed with the WoStore (from Unicon's Wo 3G carrier).
Step 3 (kind of optional to most of you here)
If you bought this device on China or Hong Kong (as me) you'll notice it only supports natively Chinese and English. I'm not a native English speaker (as you can tell for my bad English skills and terrible spelling), so I just went to Google Play and installed More Locale 2, opened it and choose Brazilian Portuguese (my native language, in which I also don't excel).
Step 4 (optional... at least if you speak Chinese)
Once your phone is rooted, you can uninstall most of the apps that came with it, as most of them are system apps. Except for some things you can remove everything with a Chinese name on it. Some apps can be worth keeping, like QQ (an IM widely used on China), but you can also download it from play store.
Bonus Part: Common issues
(I'll update every time I find a new one)
After some days of use this cellphone showed two, easy to solve, problems. Here's the solution.
Issue 1: Google Stuff disappeared after some days. Also a crash warning pops out when the phone turns on and the play store just blinks when I try to open it.
Issue 2: On the Play store, when I try to download stuff, I get an "RPC:S-5:AEC-0" error.
As far as I can tell that's not a device specific issue. But luckily, in my case, both had the same solution: You just need to go to the settings, find the Google accounts, then remove them, add again and enjoy.
I have G520 - Anyone tell me which of these steps to follow (files to use) just to root?
I'm sorry, never tried to root a G520.

I notice you install the software/rom before rooting
Does that rom need rooting first or doesn't it matter?
Doesn't matter. But if you update after root it'll unroot your phone.

You shouldn't try a different model's rom. If you're stuck at boot you should try the stock rom http://download-c.huawei.com/tcpsdo...category=cn&flay=software&downloadID=NDIzMzk=
It seems to require you to get an account before downloading.
I tried rooting as per (installed B165 rom) and its now stuck on the splash screen
Is it dead now?
Flash the stock Rom and see what happens

And by the way, I'm just assuming that's your phone's stock rom. Make sure it is before flashing or you can damage your phone irreversibly.

I found a stock rom that worked and its back now - still now Google on it - do you know where I would find and international/European rom for G520?
I've just installed G520 USB driver and ran G520 Root program
The phone now has "superuser" app
Does that mean it's now rooted? |If I connect my G520 as USB drive should it look any different (folders/files)?
Does that mean I can now use a different Rom (which maybe includes Google Apps)?

You can try, but keep a backup of your personal data and files and the original firmware, so if anything goes awry you can roll back. Also, keep in mind I never tried this on this specific model, so if you try it's risky and I will not be able to help you.

[Q] Rooted - [INSTALL_FAILED_INSUFFICIENT_STORAGE]

I just rooted my AFTV a while ago and everything seemed fine.
Installed the Slideme app and it seemed to work ok.
Tried to install Aptoid. Seemed to install then could not be found on the device.
Attempts to uninstall or reinstall failed. Said already exists.
Now all I get is [INSTALL_FAILED_INSUFFICIENT_STORAGE]
I've uninstalled several apps including Slideme and get the same thing.
It always shows 2.35GB Available.
Would resetting fix/restore it?
I don't care if I loose root right now.
Thanks
Ouch! That is unfortunate.
FWIW I have Aptoide installed and it runs great. Not sure what happened to your box. Did you do anything else?

Trouble re-registering box - probably due to update blocking also block device reg. Had to remove block.

How did you remove the block? I'm in the same boat. I factory reset but now can't get past the registration screen. I can't use ADB to connect either.

First I removed the update blocks I had on my router.
Then I thought maybe it wouldn't register because it was already registered.
So I signed on at amazon.com and de-registered the FireTV. - then registration worked after a short wait.
Everything is good now.
Good to know everything is working fine after restore with root.
But did you do the host file block and/or the disable com.amazon.dcp before the reset? This would be important information for others.
Thanks

So you did not edit the host file, right? In another post someone can't register after reset but he edited the host file and also disable the amazon.dcp.
So probably the amazon.dcp is restored with the reset but not the host file. I wonder if only disabling the amazon.dcp is enough and probably safer.
Thanks again

Then this is my problem too. Mine had both the host file updated and I disabled the amazon.dcp. mine is stuck on the registration screen. Now the question is, how can I get to the hosts file without ADB?
Host file edits
I did not edit my host file (glad) . Looked back at instructions.

Be sure to restore your Hosts settings back to default BEFORE factory resetting your Fire TV.
KillerJoe is probably right. Disabling the amazon.dcp might be enough and safer.

I've updated the post to include a warning. I've also reordered the methods so that disabling the package is first and labeled it as recommended.
I've also put up a new post detailing the two most common ways of bricking.
Forgive the newbie question but I want to make sure I do a factory reset correctly. From my understanding if I changed the host file in Host editor I will need to change it back to default. But if I did it through ADB pm "disable com amazon dcp" I dont need to change anything back or do I?
That's correct by the reports so far. But to be on the safe side, i would also enable amazon.dcp before a factory reset. At least for now.

People need to remember that factory resets usually only wipe cache and data, they don't touch system apps. That's why most of the time you can do one, then just reinstall Superuser and still have root because the su binary the root package installed is untouched.
In case anyone else is worried about resetting there FTV here is what I did and it works perfect.
1) I deleted the 3 host files I created to block the updates
2) I changed "pm disable com.amazon.dcp" and just changed the word disable to enable
3) I still had the update links blocked on my router and had no issues registering, nor did I have to delete my account in Amazon (like others have mentioned)
4) The only mistake i made was i uninstalled the amazon photo app and forget to add it back from my uninstall recycle bin before i reset. So now I have no way of getting it back but didnt care for it in the first place. Hope this helps someone else.
5) remember to turn usb debbing back on it turns off after the reset, which i forgot at first.
6) As others have mention i did not lose root after the reset.

5X Connection issues [waze, onedrive, flipboard, here maps]

I just brought the H791 Nexus 5X (international version) and it's running full stock, no root or anything, with it's latest update 6.0.1 (Build MHC19J) with March security update. There are a few things that doesn't work and I wanted to know if anyone else is having this issues or know how to solve them! I already factory reseted but nothing changed.
Onedrive: I'm able to log in through the app and see all the files, but I can't open any of them. If I try to use ES file explorer to log into onedrive, the same happens.... If I try through google chrome, the onedrive page doesn't even load!
Waze: Can't use the app, internet connection error.
Flipboard: I can't login, neither using facebook, google or my own account. Therefore I can't use it because requires login.
Here maps: App starts but the map doesn't load.
Here is the imgur with all the screen shots about the problems: http://imgur.com/a/HosKe
I'm using wifi and the gps is on and at high performance... As this problems happened with a lot of famous apps and there are nothing on the internet about this kind of errors, I'm pretty sure my device is the problem.
Thank you all!

Give it a quick try with bluetooth on, doesn't need to be connected to any devices.

Try clearing cache and data for each app.
Do you have this issue on mobile data?

Tried a few apps here and no problems.
Maybe try a factory reset, install just those apps and see if they work.
If they do install you regular apps and see if they stop again.

I already factory reseted but i'll try again... Also, I was thinking of installing the Android N preview, maybe this solves something, what do you think?

Won't hurt to do it again with just those problem apps.
You could try but somethings might not work with it, I myself have no experience with N.

The problem was in the router... Checked with 4g after the second factory reset and everything works perfect.... Reseted the router and now everything is ok! Thank you.
same happened to me.
i went to setting-apps and found out that all permissions on waze app were off, gave location and contact permissions and it worked.
