Launcher 8 - 7" Kindle Fire HD General

I saw a few screenshots of people using Launcher 8 for their KFHD homescreen. I tried to download it through the Google Play store, but it was saying that it was incompatible with my device. A few minutes ago, I tried to download it again, but now the app isn't even appearing anymore in Google Play. Has anyone had success downloading and installing this app on their KFHD?

Perhaps they sideloaded it or installed the apk ?

2 options to get around the issue. Either change your device name on the build.prop, or the safer route.... use Market Helper http://codekiem.com/2013/02/13/market-helper/

[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:

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.

[Q] Is there any way to remove old apps from showing in the Play store

So, over the year(s), I have installed, tried, uninstalled, hundreds of android apps on multiple devices.
So I got my new Nexus 7 and wanted to browse through my list of apps in Google Play. Problem is that there are too many listed there. If you scroll through (I guess it's most recent first) it takes dozens of scrolls to get to the end.
And if I find a few things I want down near the end of the list, once you install one, the list goes back to the begginning!
I'd like to be able to remove from the Play Store listing, those 100 or so apps that I know I will never be reinstalling.
Also, the web version of the play store, only shows the first 180 or so, I can't even get to those labled P through Z!
Search yielded little so I turn to you for help.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
I'd like to know exactly the same thing. So far not found anything.

I would also be very interested to find out how to do this.

Permanently removing uninstalled apps
At this time, there is no way to permanently delete or remove apps from the Google Play website (My Orders/My Android Apps) or from the Google Play Store app (My Apps) that you’ve previously downloaded but have since uninstalled.
Too lazy to type lol...that was too easy but u sure knocked it out the park
Browse the play store in landscape so you don't have the list reset every time.
I wish they would at least let you filter your old apps... I'm much more interested in seeing the apps that I actually paid for lol.

Anyone wanting to see paid apps only, you need to install this modified play store APK from Modaco.

Just in case anyone is interested...
I've been a Springpad user for a while, and use the 'spring it' feature from the Play store app to create lists - purchased apps, essential apps, etc. It's really helped with organisation. I just click the saved link from Springpad, and I'm sent straight to the relevant Play store entry.
Yeah, so it's a bit of a dirty fix, but it suits me until Google get the Play store niggles sorted. Guessing it will work with other task/organisation apps, but haven't tried...

Does your Nexus 4 show up as a device in the play store?

My Nexus 4 is not showing up as an owned device under My Orders and Settings -> Settings in the Google Play store. Has anyone else experienced this? I was trying to push an app to my phone remotely and noticed my Nexus 4 wasn't listed.
I noticed that too earlier
Yes, it is showing up in my devices list.
Same here. No problems with all three of my android devices. They're all listed and remote install works fine.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
It took mine about 24 hours to sow up as a recognized device after first turning it on.
Mine shows up too on the Devices list.
Anyways, thanks for reminding me about this. Just set the Device name as "OG Limbo Level 3 Nexus 4".
Mine was showing up, but now it's disappeared and I can't use the web interface to send apps to it.
I can use the Store on the device just fine.
It's rooted, but I don't have a custom ROM or anything.
Any ideas, before I do a hard reset?
If you tried the 'Google Framework Services' trick to force the 4.2.2 update it can cause your device to no longer appear in devices on the Play store. I had the same issue with my N7 & all I did to resolve it was download an app (any app) by using the Play store app on my N7, a few hours later it reappeared.
Hope this helps.

Hah! It's been missing for days, and I have downloaded apps to try and get it back, to no avail.
I did the Framework Services trick again and actually got the update. Then installed an app from the device and lo and behold... it's re-appeared.
Cheers!
I tried the Framework Services trick and now my Nexus 4 isn't showing up when trying to install an app from the Play Store. Anyone have a quick fix? thanks!

I've downloaded many apps from the device itself during the past 24 hours with no problem.
Yet it's still not showing up as one of my devices on the website...
It should only show up on that list if you have actually set-up the 'wallet' app on the device.

Updated my Nexus 4 from 4.2.2. to 4.3 earlier today (OTA, nothing special)
Now it's no longer in my devices list on the Play Store website...
I was having the same issue yesterday. Couldn't download anything online, but had no issues downloading anything from my device. It seems to have been fixed now though. I thought it might have been the fact that I only had the phone for 3 days now and it just took a day or 2 to register with Google once it was activated.

Mine is doing this now (as I mentioned in another thread)
Completely stock, no issues accessing the play store on the device. No issues before the 4.3 OTA upgrade.
Have done factory reset but still no change.
Yep, shows up fine for me
12 hours after a factory reset, still no device listed.
Being able to search for things to install at work and have them installed at home was the best benefit of Android over iOS (for me)
After trying so many things, "removing and re adding google account", "clearing google services framework", etc...
IT FINALLY WORKED!!!
Here's what I did
1) Uninstalled updates to Play store and Play services
2) Opened the "Google Settings" app in the app drawer and clicked on Android Device Manager. Unchecked and rechecked "remotely locate this device" and checked "allow remote factory reset"
3) Refreshed the play store site on chrome on PC and voila!

Can't Install Apps Not From Play Store

I recently purchased a Nexus 10. I'm trying to install the Amazon App Store which is not in the Play Store, but instead is a file that I can download from Amazon. I've selected "Unknown Sources" option in the security settings and when I go to install the Amazon App Store App it gives me the option to install it, but it won't actually let me select the install button. I'm not rooted at all and running a totally stock version of Android 4.2.2 on my Nexus 10. Any ideas as to how I can get this app to install with out rooting my tablet?
I didn't have any problems installing it. Do you have any device administrators activated on your device which might block 3rd party apps?
Sent from my Nexus 10 using Tapatalk HD
I just checked and I don't have any device administrators turned on. Is it possible that it's a 4.2.2 issue?
Sent from my Nexus 10 using Tapatalk HD
It should allow you to install it. I'd either try re downloading the apk or factory reset.

So after rebooting a few times, it worked. So weird.
Sent from my Nexus 10 using Tapatalk HD
Do you have screen filter installed? I had the same issue,I couldn't click on install when screen filter was on. So just deactivate it and you can click on install again. No need to reboot.
After playing around a little, I discovered that it was the Screen Adjuster app that I had downloaded. As soon as I uninstalled the app, everything worked perfectly.

[Q] Gray wifi bars but still have internet except for google play services

I have my nexus 7 for a year and I have in countered an issue. I was travelling to Switzerland (i am not sure if the following has anything to do with the problem) when I wanted a little extra coins on some apps like subway surfers the apps require "in app purchases" and I had seen a friend get all in app purchases free on iOS so I tried to do the same. I downloaded an app and it asked me to change my timezone to Moscow and so I did. The app did not work. I uninstalled it and came back to Sydney and my WiFi bars are Grey and I can access the internet but I can't access Google play services. I have done some research and a lot of users say I have to make sure my timezones are correct and they are. I have rooted my nexus 7 and am running the latest stock android with the new Google play. Can somebody help this driving me crazy!?

If you have root, you can do the following to turn back to blue :
1)Download latest google play store app. and also google services framework.
2)Install the google play app(do not open the app).(warning:- do not install services framework now.)
3)Open root explorer.
4)Go to system/app. find the google framework services.apk and delete it.
5)Copy and paste the downloaded framework services.apk to system/app.
6)Exit the root explorer app and clear all recents.
7)Again open the root explorer and go to system/app and find your google framework services.apk and install it.
8)Exit root explorer and restart the phone.
9)Now go to settings/apps/all.Find the services framework there click on it and first clear the data then force stop the app.
10)Now restart your and bingo! your wifi is in blue and you can connect google+.
11)If not working then there may be a problem in your wifi router
