But It has not a new version of Google play service app,
Because I can't sign in my Google account in clash of clans game
When I un-installed the app and replace it with a new version, currently I have problems with This App:
Google play services has stopped,
Thanks For your answers
Excuse me for some wrong my typing, because I can't speak English well
Hi, I'm tired from reinstalling Google Play Store (GPS) in my rooted AFTV, because inmediately after reboot, GPS auto update self and break (auto update Google Play Services And Youtube too). Youtube break too when auto update. My question is, how to install a GPS apk compatible with AFT that DON'T auto update ? Or how to disable auto update for GPS ?

The problem is with Google Play Services. If you are rooted:
Install the Xposed Framework if you don't already have it installed.
Remove Google Play Services.
Download, install, and enable the Xposed Framework module called "This App Will Run Without Google Play Services" here: http://repo.xposed.info/module/xeed.xposed.dngmod
Thanks, I'll try and report here. I have AFT rooted + Xposed installed
Well, in http://forum.xda-developers.com/xposed/modules/mod-app-run-google-play-services-1-0-t3054115 report that Youtube don't work without Play Services.
I will have to try another solution
Turn of auto updating in the Amazon store and it will fix your problem. Turn off auto updates and reboot. To do it just choose an app to install from the Fire TV launcher and you can access the setting to turn off auto updates from there.

This doesn't work for preventing Google Play Services from auto-updating.
You can turn off auto-update inside Google Play Store and also within Amazon's settings, but Google Play Services will still auto-update.

Why are you running the non-Fire TV version of YouTube?
I have Amazon update service disabled. I'm using YouTube for Android Tv apk installed from Google Play Store. Amazon store don't have YouTube.

I can assure you there's a YouTube app specifically for the Fire TV. I don't know why you can't download it from your Fire TV. Did you replace the Amazon Appstore?
I attached the YouTube apk from my Fire TV. You can sideload it and see if it works for you.

Thanks, I'll try using this version. I don't replace Amazon Appstore, but searching for "Youtube" only show third software.
Well, I installed your version of youtube, this version is the same version that was installed previously in my AFTV, with the same error:
When begin to play a video, youtube close inmediately !!!!

Then something is very wrong with your Fire TV that has nothing to do with the google play store.
I can confirm that the play store for me automatically updates after my first close of the store. I have to keep on reinstalling the older play store version, since the newer one always displays a white screen. I am using one of the xposed modules to change my device disguise to a nexus tablet. It just seems to break every single time it autoupdates.
I can open the sidebar, but the screen is just white and I cannot search.

Hi, for resolve this problem I installed Xprivacy , install Google Play Store + Google Play Services (old versions from this forum), configure my account in Play Store, inmediately shutdown my wifi router, open Xprivacy and disable Internet item security for Google Play Services. Now, Play Services can't auto update, and Play Store run OK without breaking !!!! I recommend install a usb mouse to AFTV, because Xposed/XPrivacy Interfaces aren't optimized for AFTV

Do we have a consensus on if this fix is working for most people? Btw--i don't know why but when I first got the white screen in play store (maybe 5 weeks ago) all I did was remove play services and and its continued to work ever since. I'm just curious about the above mod and being proactive in case it stops working.

What you did is fine as long as there are no apps that require Google Play Services like the "Watch ABC" app.

It's a Xposed module, check http://forum.xda-developers.com/xposed/modules/xprivacy-ultimate-android-privacy-app-t2320783
I managed to "freeze" my store and play services using the immutable flag route (chattr command). Created 2 files "com.android.vending-2.apk" and "com.google.android.gms-2.apk" in /data/app/ folder for store and play services respectively (I "froze" the play store as well as version 5.3.6 works fine for me).
I wrote a little script (remove the ".txt" at the end from the file name) to turn on and off the immutable property of these files. It is a pretty through complete overkill (LOL) as you can just do that with 2 lines of code, but I wanted to learn a bit about scripting, so went the whole hog with functions, arrays, making sure the dummy files are zero bytes, checking existing flag, how to return values from functions, error handling, verbose debug statements. I am attaching it if anyone wants to take a peek or wants some base scripting code to do other stuff on top of it. Its documented reasonably. You can run it by default. If you want to turn OFF the flag (for taking updates), you pass "ULOCK" as a command line parameter for the script. Its documented in the script... Please don't run it without understanding it first, though it does not do anything destructive except change flags. You will need to create the 2 files (or 1 file or 4 files if you want to lock all Google apks) manually in the /data/app/ folder.
One artifact of using this method that I have noticed. The FTV will periodically throw up an error message:
"Not Enough Space
Additional space is required to install this app. You can free up space by removing installed apps or connecting a USB drive. Recommended drives can be found at www.amazon.com/firetvstorage."
You will get 2 options to choose from: Install Later and Manage Installed Apps. You need to click on "Install Later". Its a wrong error message about space, but it has to do with the inability of Google (and FTV) to replace those dummy apks as they are locked.
Google will download newer version to /data/data/com.android.providers.downloads/cache/ folder, but it will sit there as it cannot overwrite the dummy apks.
hello everyone,
i recently purchased a fire phone and my problem is this, i cant get google play services to work with google games, when i try to use google games with google services 4.4.52 it starts but tells me that it needs to update to the latest version 7.5.74 after updating to 7.5.74 google games and anything that uses google services stops working and google services will not even open, any help with this would be amazing since i have been struggling with this for about a week.
also for anyone that needs google play store you can uninstall google services and it works great and so does that games app it just will not pull your game saved files from the server.
i am using a amazon fire phone with the latest O.S.
Hmm... Did you install the Google play services and store from the xda general section? And did you install Google play games from the play store? I cannot reproduce your error and I am playing Google play games (specifically those games that require that particular app).
You may just need to remove the Google play services and related apps and reinstall them. Maybe you used an outdated guide?
Can you please post the link where you got all the apks for all the google apps and services?

I am having this same issue. I got them from a topic here, the link was to a onedrive or something that had all 4 apks.
Which version of the OS are you using? It seems people's having troubles with Google Play Services when they use non-US versions.
Hi. I've installed Google apps and play store on my rooted AFTV2 by following the Aftvnews guide here:
http://www.aftvnews.com/how-to-install-the-google-play-store-on-the-fire-tv-2-running-fire-os-5/
So far so good... I've signed in with my play store login, and can download and run free apps.
But I can't get paid apps to install or in app purchases to work.
e.g. in sky force anniversary if i try the IAP to get the whole game, the google play payment box pops up, it has my correct play store credit balance but every time I try I get a “purchase failed!“ error. Similar happens when trying to download paid apps directly from play store.
I had some success with newer Google play services and play store - I was able to sign in to Google play games but the play store crashes when I open it (I have hd xposed) so still not able to buy apps...
Has anyone managed to buy Google play apps by using different Google app versions e.g. play store, play services, play games? I only want the leanback versions as sky force anniversary is a Google TV app.
PS I don't want to pirate any apps, since I have the money to buy them!
Thanks!
OK so I've successfully managed to get Google play services, framework, play store (non working of course) and login working on a non rooted firetv gen 2 5.2.4.0 and this is now allowing older games to work within the framework, although some can't login into the Google play.
Google play services however is requesting I update to the latest version and this hasn't yet been successful for me to find a compatible service. This is stopping me playing side loaded games like Dead Effect 2 etc as they require the new service and refuse to run without it being updated.
Has anyone managed to get a new version of play services and Google play to run on a non rooted fire TV ? Or failing that found a way to get side loaded games like Dead Effect 2 to run ?
Any help appreciated
