Force Install Android Auto - Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A

Hi, all.
I would like to install android auto on my nexus to use standalone with a wifi hotspot in the car. However, the play store says that the app is not compatible, and the app closes saying "not compatible with this device" when sideloaded. Is there a workaround? I already edited the model and manufacturer in build.prop to no avail.

get the apk from apkmirror

Did you ever work this out?

Help with qpair

Hello,
I'm having difficulty connecting my LG g pad with my Samsung Galaxy S3 using Qpair. When running the app on both devices (on the tablet from the quick launch icon and on the phone from the play store) and pressing 'initial setup' then 'start' on both, after confirming that the devices should be paired I get an error message of "qpair initial setup is incomplete" on the tablet and "update qpair and run it again. To update go to Google Play Store on the tablet" on the phone.
I have tried to update the app from the play store on the tablet ("not available on this device ") and unpairing the bluetooth connection on both or either device, with no luck - I still get the same message every time I try to get the phone and tablet connected with qpair! Can anyone help with this problem? Thanks!!
You have to rename your tablet as a 510 for downloading from play, which you have to do to get it working. I can confirm that it works. I followed details of how to do it from a thread on here. I'll link it when I find it.

Read the thread (it's short). I just needed to change the model number.

Thanks For your replay.
It works.
I don't have a GPE device, but I saw an update for QPair in the app store today and it said that it was updated to support the V510.

[Q] App on google play

Is there any way to get a paid app on google play to my FiretTV? I tried getting google play working on the ftv, but I guess that was too much to hope for. And I looked for a way to remove the signing on the app, but that seems a little troublesome.
Yes you can download any of your paid apps and install them to your fire tv. I have been using http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1563894 . All the directions are rite there in the thread .

The only thing I can't find is the device id. Tried a device id-app.. but it just says not found. Do I need some.. google service installed, or something?
I was able to install the Google services framework, maps, youtube, google play services, the Play store and gmail (meaning, adb install ran without error.)
The combination gave me enough of google that I can sideload paid apps from the Play store and they run fine. The store itself is installed, knows who I am, but cannot see the network. This is apparently a typical state for the store on Amazon hardware.

Yeah, I've installed most of these myself. But to begin to sideload a paid app, I need to be able to sign it with an id.. so I'm obviously missing something. I got service framework, google play services and gmail. Are you using the device id from your firetv, or a different device?

Do you see the "No connection" message with a "Retry" button when you launch the Play Store?
@ treqie I just grab the APK from the /data/app directory on a device it's installed on, and sideload that. There may be apps that doesn't work with, but the ones I'm using, it's worked on.
@ deanemj Yes, that's exactly what I see - but it also knows what account name it can't connect to.

Does Google Play Music work?
@treqie the device id is found on your phone or any other device that you have the Google play store WORKING on. Apk leecher "spoofs" as that device in order to download the apps. Then you side load them to the fire tv. I have it set up with my phone id to download my apps. Forget about the fire tv until you are able to download apps.

Have you tried installing Xposed and the Play Fix module? BTW I haven't tried this myself since I usually won't install Play but it was suggested before.

I get a install fail, saying that the UID changed?

Yep, that's exactly what I see, too. I'm not sure if it's a permission issue or if we're missing something else.
I'm not exactly sure what isn't working for you guys. I don't have play store installed on my fire tv. I just use apk leecher (which is associated with my phone ID) to download (example: root explorer from play store) that I side loaded to my fire tv.

Oh, yeah, grabbing APKs that way from the play Store isn't a problem. We're just trying to get the store itself working on the AFTV.
There is one risky way of using the Play Store through a web browser,but I don't know if it will even work on Amazon devices.
You could change your device name inside the build.prop file to match a Google Play based device and register yourself on the site.

Well, what I need is to be able to install my apps and have my subscriptions recognized. So for me, at least, the fact that Gmail knew what account it tied to, and Youtube, and the Play Store - these things mean that Play is working on my fire tv.
I don't use it in the car or at the office, so I know I can always load an APK to it if I need to.
I know there are apps that are registered not just to an account but to a device, and for those you'd need to extract a device ID - but I haven't yet encountered one of those apps. (I actually only know about them because Titanium mentions them to me when it offers to restore my device ID so they'll keep running.)
After I tried installing the play store on my fire tv I used firefox beta to open the play store web site to try and sign in that way and clicked on settings cog on top right. It showed my phone as a device and the fire tv as a device but had missing info compared to my phone. There has to be some trick to getting it to work. Unless it is hard coded by amazon to block it.

Ouya running CM11 with Directv Now issues

Hi,
I have rooted my Ouya using the guide from S-Config and am running the latest nightly build (12/01/16). Seems that I keep on getting the 40 Error message when trying to stream any videos from the Directv Now app. I have hid my root with "Root Hide", disabled it within CM11. Still gives me the error with both the Google Play store app and as well side loaded the Amazon apk as well, and still giving me the issue. Im out of ideas, and not sure if just the rooting portion is the full issue.
Has anyone tried to get this to work with the Directv Now app?

AGQ4 update this morning, daydream still unavailable

I installed the new AGQ4 firmware this morning that "supposedly" enabled daydream support for our s8+, but when I find daydream in the play store it's listed as "unavailable for your device" still. Sideloading the apk I can launch daydream, but going through headset setup it comes to a point saying my phone is not daydream ready. Has anyone else been able to install or get it to work?

accessing settings in vw polo 2019

hello,
I own vw polo 2019 with an android head unit, with a launcher installed by the dealer.
it hides a lot of apps including settings.
about a year ago I was able to somehow download play store and install some apps, but after an update the play store and the apps Ive downloaded are gone (idk if deleted or just hidden because of the launcher).
now, I heard there is a way to access the web browser via the Waze app (if anyone has a different way I’ll be glad), and install the store again.
but my problem starts here - I no longer have data connection in my car, meaning I need to connect it to hotspot, but since I can’t access the settings app, I can’t do it.
I don’t know much about android since I have an iPhone, so is there anyone who knows how to access settings, and install play store again? and better - change the launcher so I will not have to do it all the time?
thanks!
hello?
