I only tried with youtube, these other apps I dont will use and dont try with these. and I uninstalled it, these apps appears like youtube app in titanium backup
edit: I tried install google voice and google earth and no problem for me

I had a same problem on my Nexus S, what I did was, I navigated to /system/app/ folder on my phone with ES File Explorer, found the YouTube.apk and reinstalled it from there!
PS. Android Market and my phone showed the application as installed, and all options were greyed out (Open, Install, Uninstall)!

I fixed it with ep file explorer. Fix the youtube app
But still have problems with voice recorder thinkfree office and others that wont install and show up in my menu.

I had to do this several times because it kept getting messed up. Couldn't uninstall it normally but it didn't open.

But with titanium backup you need root access what i dont have. Then it isnot possible?

Try downloading an uninstaller app from the market.

What is that? Can you give me a name of one?

I cannot uninstall it with a free app. Google vpice or thinkfree are not even visible.
I can only see these apk files with ep file.explorer

My odd solution:
-Download GApps from Rom Manager...or wherever
-Flash GApps via recovery
-Reboot (Still no YouTube...)
-Go to Market
-Re-install Youtube from Market
When my YouTube "disappeared", it "appeared" in the Market as installed but the Open and Unistall buttons were greyed out. The icon in the drawer and the widget option were both gone.

I don't have that Think Free Office icon either in the apps drawer, but the TFO is installed in my phone. I was little bit confused about that thing, but now I see it's a common issue...?

I find it in xoom forum,thought it might help
If you have had a problem with the missing YouTube and/or Google Books applications, we have a workaround you can try.
Connect to WiFi network. (So far it looks like only WiFi Xooms have had this issue. Let me know if you have this on a Verizon Xoom.)
Go into Settings > Applications > Manage Applications
Go to the "All" tab and then scroll down and select "Google Partner Setup."
Clear Data.
Reboot your Xoom. (That is, turn it off and on.)
If this doesn't work, perform a factory reset (Settings > Privacy > Factory data reset) and try the sequence above again.
Please let me know how if this works for you.

How? Was it the suggestion to clear data from the Google Partner Setup or something else?

Modded Spotify for Kindle Fire (Works 100%)

So, like most people on this lovely planet, I received a Kindle Fire for Christmas. One of the first things I did with it was install Spotify. However, like most people know, the Fire's software UI controls cover up the Spotify controls, making it sorta useless.
So this morning I decompiled it and made a few quick changes so it would work better.
The only remaining problem is that I couldn't find out how to reposition the view player (the little tab you can drag up that displays the album art, music controls, etc...). So instead of repositioning it, I moved the music controls above the album art. You can bring it up by clicking the (blank) center button. It works 100%, just doesn't look at nice.
Finally, I replaced the icon with an icon I found in the hi-res folder, so the icon looks all nice and spiffy in the carousel. *You might have to restart your Fire before this will take effect if you have all already installed Spotify on your device*
I attached some picture showing what I've done.
Installation instructions for the plebeians:
*On your Kindle*
1. Go to settings > Device and turn "Allow Installation of Applications" on.
2. Download the attached modified .apk
*For some reason it will give an error if you try to install with the default installer on the Kindle Fire, so you can't simply install it from the browser*
4. Download AndroXplorer for free from the Amazon App Store
5. Open AndroXplorer and browse to /sdcard/Download/
6. Tap KFSpotifyAndroid.apk and it will bring up a dialog asking you to install.
Ta Da!
*I lied about being able to install it over your previous spotify app. Make sure to delete any previous Spotify app from your system before installing.*
*This is not a cracked version, simply a small change to the interface, in order to use Spotify on your mobile device you must have a subscription. (Though they do give out trials to new users.)*
And that's that. Enjoy Spotify. Hopefully they're working on a more official version, but this will do until then.

Probably a stupid question, but this is a free app that requires a paid subscription..right?

Yup, that is correct.

Thanks very much for sharing this!

Thank you so much for sharing. This works perfect on the Kindle!

Thanks for sharing! Are working perfectly

Works perfectly, thank you!

So I tried as you suggested, installing via the androxplorer as well as ES-file-explorer. Neither one allowed the .apk to install!
I'm running a stock kindle, the only change i've made is to use Go-Launcher.
thanks,
jh

I just downloaded your modded app it installed no problem,I logged in and it plays, but I don't have a paid subscription. Have you some how unlocked it for a free login? If so, thanks.

No, only the inteface has changed to accommodate the "bar" at the bottom which blocked the controls on the Spotify app. If you don't have a paid subscription, the app is useless.

Thanks man, works perfectly. I got install errors at first, but all I had to do was uninstall the existing app completely before trying this one.
Great work!

Works like a charm with "free" version
Followed your directions step by step and had zero issues. Logged in with facebook credentials and it works seamlessly. Thanks!

Missing file
Hi all,
There's no "KFSpotifyAndroid.apk" file available to download. I tried downloading the "SpotifyAndroid.apk" file, which did overwrite my existing install, but this did not fix the issue with Spotify controls.
There's another file in the /SDcard/Download folder: "Spotify-41200180.apk" but generates an error "Parse error - There is a problem parsing the package."
Help?

The file appears to be missing-- is there any way it could be reposted? Thanks for the help!

Thanks

[Solved] New Google Play .apk?

Just wondering since Google is updating the android market to a newer version that's all encompassing (music, apps, books, movies) called Google Play, if our rooted KF's are going to see the update OTA or if we'll need to sideload it? If sideloading will be the option, will it be the same as sideloading the current market .apk or will we need to employ new steps? Thx
Here is link to apk from rootzwiki: http://rootzwiki.com/topic/20095-android-market-apk-google-play-3612/
Update: Got both my KF & Infuse 4G updated!

I dunno, but my market shows all the play stuff when I'm in it.

My Kindle Fire (rooted CM9) got the OTA update and it removed my market app and added the play app in its place, i didnt even realize it till a couple of minutes ago lol

I got the "upgrade" the last time i opened the Market. Hadn't heard anything about it prior, so I was kinda freaked out. I didn't know what to do for a second.

Thanks for this, as I got totally screwed by Google on the update. I clicked "what's this?", my web browser opened up, and afterwards my Market icon was gone, as well as the upgrade process. To re-install Market requires a hard reset! Freaking Google. I hate not being in control of my own damn phone.

Works great on the Inspire 4G, thanks

Go into the settings of your phone, then apps (all), then go to the market app.
Do a 'Clear Data' on the Market app.
Next time you start up your Market app you should have to agree to terms, and then the app will update to Google Play.

Nope, wasn't in the list! Totally gone. Good thing the .apk was there above, disguised as a .zip file. Installed fine.

So I was able to install the google play apk on my unrooted kindle fire and I can now browse the market, but the only thing is that it forces close when I try to download app updates or any new apps. Any ideas?

Installed Google Play on my Rooted Kindle fire, running Stock ROM, it had removed the 'MARKET' and added 'Play Store', i guess its the same thing? i dont know the difference? can anyone explain please?
Thanks

They basically just renamed the app from Market to Google Play. Does the same things as before. This is not the first time it has been updated.
On my Rezound phone, I renamed it back to Market and changed the Icon back to the old icon.
**Edit** Just did it to the KF now too. Screen cap of it below:

Same thing happens here, but I was able too purchase a free book and a free song with no problems at all I find this odd, why can I not install an app.

I'm stuck in this very same loop. I can do everything but download an app or let it try to update an app I have installed. So far, I'm stumped.

Try clearing the cache and data for the app and see if that will help. That's worked for me in the past. Hope this helps.

YouTube App Works on KFHD

I sideloaded the YouTube app off my Nexus 7 onto my Kindle Fire HD, and it works great...you just can't sign in.

Google Chrome works as well. Again, you can't sign in.

I can confirm this. I just sideloaded the Youtube app and it works fine (no sign in though).

Will there ever be a version where you can sign in?

Eventually. Once we can find a way to toss the gapps into the /system/app folder with the correct permissions, we will be able to sign in, as well as get other Google apps to work.

yes, it works on my Kindle Fire HD too, though I got a free YT downlaoder from aneesoft, since YouTube works nice on KFHD, there is no need to do downloading~

Thanks man. I found it and get thing done.

have google apps, and framework. market and gmail works. but still no you tube sign in. just hangs at sign in.

I was able to download the You Tube apk from the following post and have got it working and was able to sign in.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1529715
I did not use GoogleServicesFramework.apk and have rather used a GoogleLoginServices.apk (Google Account Manager) that I got from somewhere in this forum.
I have got Gmail, You Tube, Current and Maps (no sign in, no location) working. I will be posting the necessary files shortly.

I'm not rooted so I don't think I can use the apk file on the link previously provided on xda.
Anyone have another apk file I could try?

Youtube app stopped working - user error
Hi, sometime in the last few days, I'm not sure exactly when, my youtube app stopped working. It appears to sign into my account but when I tap on any of my uploaded videos I ge a menu offering 'Edit' and 'Delete' I cannot play. Similarly when I select any favourites I get a menu offering 'unfavourite'
I can play any videos I search for but nothing from my own account works.
Anyone else see the same behaviour?
Rooted kindle fire HD, 7.2.3 Os youtube 3.5.5
* Fixed, tapping on the thumbnail offered the menu options, tapping on the text plays the video, I must have always tapped the text before. Would have deleted this post but I can't seem to

Play Store for Dummies... (update help)

I have googled to no success... here is my dilema:
When looking at my installed apps and selecting those that are ready for an upgrade... I can not view what is new, but rather, only what permisions are required for the app. To view what is new in the version, I have to search the play store for the app and look at it there. Is there a solution to this?

Just above the permissions table, where it shows the app name, press it and it will take you to the app page description with all its glory.
