Hello. I'm working on a custom device that is not on the market yet, and I am having issues getting it to work with Google Play. I have root access, so I was able to sideload GooglePlay.apk and GoogleServicesFramework.apk. However, I am forced to use Market Helper in order to download apps. I would like to bake in compatibility to the ROM itself, but am having issues.
I've tried modifying the build.prop to have dummy values for ro.product.{model,device,manufacturer}, as well as ro.hardware and ro.com.google.clientidbase. I feel like I'm close, but the device still fails to be accepted by Play without marker helper.
Any hints or advice are tremendously appreciated!
Sorry, can't help you with the problem.
But I am really interested in your custom device. Could you please tell us more about it?
Cool.
For those who encounter a similar problem, I will post the answer. Credit to (xkcd: Wisdom of the Ancients) for the idea.
edit: the policy of not posting outside links is really annoying. All links have the base: http: slash slash developer dot android dotcom , just add the relevant url and glue it together.
Anyway, here goes. Turns out the build.prop was not the limiting factor.
Explanation of the overall process:
- Developers create an app, and list certain features it depends on in the manifest.xml file located in the root of the apk. ( /guide/topics/manifest/uses-feature-element.html)
- When the Play Store is opened, a call is made to getSystemAvailableFeatures()
- This call is handled by an internal app called PackageManager - (/reference/android/content/pm/PackageManager.html)
-This app looks in /system/etc/permissions and parses the xml files to determine what hardware and software features the phone has. it then sends this list back to the play store. - see( /guide/practices/compatibility.html) and ( /google/play/filters.html )
- The play store then filters the apps, as per the links above.
How to modify this:
- What I’ve done is taken the files from /system/etc/permissions on a galaxy S2 Skyrocket (my personal device), and copied in all of them, without overwriting the already existing files. Now, google play works and allows the download of the same subset of apps as on the Skyrocket.
For those wondering how to include these files at compile time, here is the answer:

how to have seperate youtube accounts
1. First follow directions here to create multiple accounts
http://forum.xda-developers.com/shield-tv/general/dual-google-accounts-t3206669
2. Google up youtube apk. (install the one for android I can provide an upload if you cant find one)
3. After installing youtube just go to the one for android tv (not the one you just installed) you will now notice at the sign in option at the bottom it lets you switch accounts...
4. Congrats!!!! Enjoy
UPDATE: For users that have version 1.1.16 youtube must go into google play store and type in youtube into the search at the top then select uninstall to revert back to stock 1.0.5.5 youtube

Used Commander Genius multiple times on other android devices, Play store said it's compatible with Shield Android TV , BUT even if it works, (only tested in marshmallow) ... it won't start any games , only shows config menus, allows you to choose which Commander Keen to play, but won't start. ALSO , looked at Play store website and nobody else has any comments on it... Tried finding the website for the app (was apparently also made for PC , but I couldn't find any real information on device compatibility.) Anyone got any ideas? any help?
Hello!
In light of the recent blocking of YouTube on Amazon devices by Google I have put together a list of steps to install Google Play Services and the Android TV suite of Google applications without root. In addition the Android TV YouTube app can view paid content (movies, TV shows, etc)!
This was tested on a Fire TV Stick 2.
Newer versions of these applications may work unless otherwise noted (but have not been tested obviously).
APKS:
Google Play Store (Android TV Version) (com.android.vending_8.5.39.W-xhdpi_8_PR_178322352-80853968_minAPI21)
Google Play Services (com.google.android.gms_11.9.75_230-182402865) [DO NOT USE THE ATV VERSION]
Google Accounts Manager (com.google.android.gsf.login_4.4.4-1227136-19)
- The KitKat (4.4.4) targeting branch is the only one to support Fire TV. - Other branches will crash (5.x, 6.x)
Gmail 5.6 (com.google.android.gm-5.6.102685581.release-56008676)
- Newer versions may work but have stability issues and will crash or fail frequently.
YouTube (com.google.android.youtube.tv_1.3.11-10311100) [OPTIONAL]
- Unfortunately the latest 2.x series utilizes an unknown, odd method of signing into Google accounts (not system standard) and I have not been able to get it to work. If you don't mind the cookie-cutter Android TV video app style of the 1.x series it works perfectly (update: actually, live videos don't work)! I suspect the 2.x breakage results from Google adapting their web version (youtube.com/tv) instead of making a native app. [UPDATE] You can install the 2.x series AFTER you login on the 1.x series and you will remain logged in. However, the 2.x series has several issues. Mainly purchases are not playable and it crashes occasionally.
Google Play Movies & TV (com.google.android.videos_3.28.14-tv-32800144) [OPTIONAL]
Google Play Music (com.google.android.music_8.5.6561-3.Y-65613) [OPTIONAL]
Instructions:
1. Install Google Play Services
- Open this once!
2. Install Google Play Store (Android TV)
3. Install Google Accounts Manager
4. Install Gmail
5. Open Gmail
6. Add a Google Account
- This interface is navigable with the remote but easier with a cursor app/mouse.
- If you can't navigate the interface repeatedly press up and down until a shadow appears around the button.
7. All installed Google Apps should now recognize your account has been added.
There you have it!
You should now have access to all the Google content you've been missing, Play Services to allow side loading, and YouTube free of any nasty blocking by Google or Amazon
Credits: Thanks to Moose200 and AFTV News for locating the functioning Google Accounts Manager version.
Instead of of putting all these apps on your fire tv 2 just download an app called 'SMART YOUTUBE TV' and sideload it to the device ..the best thing about it is there are no ads..

The goal of this guide is to get access to the official Google applications. The official YouTube app allows you to view paid purchases which is not possible with simple wrapper applications. While I prefer to entrust my Google account to official sources, you are welcome to suggest alternative third party applications in another thread.
Tried this on my Fire TV 3, no luck. Sad.
Trying this now on my 1st gen fTV and it would be GREAT to get the google apps working - particularly Music, Movies, & TV.
- play services failed on the first install but working on the second attempt.
- gmail interface was very tricky. It kept looping back to the first screen if I didn't arrow down quickly to select "existing account".
**
Notes:
1) Youtube works but I can't cast to it from my laptop or phone. It doesn't show as an option.
2) Play Movies/TV starts movies but only the audio plays. Trailers play fine though. I only have problems with content I've purchased.
3) Play Music doesn't show "stations". I works great with my library of uploaded music but none of the streaming content works.
I guess the intent was to get Youtube to work so anything else is a bonus.
Thanks for this guide and the links to the working apks.

One other thing that really isn't a fault of this guide but only you install PlayMusic it stays live in the back ground and grabs every press of the play/pause button on the remote. It doesn't matter what app you're in, if you press play/paus Google starts playing. Even if you are trying to reboot your fTV Playmusic jumps in there.

Thanks for the feedback!
- Occasional failure is to be expected
- I'll look into casting, I'm assuming there is likely a missing library/application that the Android TV version depends on.
- Does purchased content still work in YouTube? On a 2nd Gen Stick I have (frankly) astounding video playback in Play Movies. I'll see if I can play around with this on my old 1st gen and see if another APK version works better.
- I'll also look into Gmail (it is the most stable on 2nd gen, but 1st gen might have some quirks that would necessitate a different version)
- On my FTV if the music is paused in the app it won't continue to run in the background, I'll see if my 1st gen stick operates like yours does.

- wow, I didn't know Play purchases could be viewed in Youtube. And yes they work there. FANTASTIC!
- gmail mail isn't an issue. I was able to get through it. I'm assuming it's used just to get an account set up.
- To be clear the behavior for playmusic is: pause music, exit the app, hit play button, music resumes. This happens even if you're in another app that uses the play button.
Let me know if I can provide any additional info. BTW, I'm looking at YoutubeTV and it seems to also work with this set of playservice apks.
I can confim it works! Play store doesn't work of course, but you can use any playservices-dependent app with no issues. You can use yalp store as a replacement. Gmail app can be unistalled after you added the account if you want, it still works. Thanks a lot
Thank you it worked with me.
I need a working version of Youtube TV app for AFS. I tried phones app but couldn't locate the location of the device. I could not make pass the location check.

You mean the paid subscription to watch TV steams? Cause there is not that service in my country, I can't help you.
Hey, thanks for posting this method. got a 2nd gen AFTV and been looking online for a few days now and this was the first method that worked, but... like someone else here I can't cast from my phone/laptop. the devices won't see it. I looked everywhere in the app, I'm signed in, but there doesn't seem to be an option to give me a link code. if anyone can figure this out, please let us know. thanks!
Updated the 1.x version of YouTube with the latest 2.x version and remained signed in. got a code and now I'm able to cast to it from my phone. I've not tried live videos or purchased content. For regular uploaded videos it seems to be working fine.

I find it odd that the version doesn't match the code name. Version is 5.1.1 but code name is Kit Kat version did Amazon seriously just make a device with a chopped up firmware?

Amazon's Fire OS is Android Lollipop with only *some* of Android TV's systems and no Google APIs. As a result Google apps tend to be finicky on it and generally the older you go for a Google app the less features they depend on (or expect) and thus they're more likely to work.

Really what it comes down to is Amazon wants their market place to be used for purchasing and can't blame them for wanting to make money.
Welcome to the most extensive AT&T TV (formerly DirecTV Now) and Fire TV repository thread.
Over the last few years I have gathered various AT&T/DirecTV Now apks and other Fire TV apks.
My plan is to continue uploading the latest AT&T TV apk files and various Fire TV apps until they are officially available on the Shield TV.
Feel free to comment and request any Fire TV apks that I have not uploaded , I'll do my best to keep the apps up-to-date.
Since it's time consuming I may not update the less popular apps frequently. Unless someone requests it.
I want to thank anyone that contributed to the previous thread. Please continue to post any questions or issues you guys have .
Please read the FAQ some of your questions may already be answered.

AT&T TV Android TV/ Fire TV FAQ
Which devices does this app work on?
Shield TV 2015/2017 Pro and non Pro versions, Nexus Player , Mi Box and other Android TV boxes .
Also confirmed that the app works on Sony Bravia Android TVs 2017 and up models, anything above version 2.0.13.05128 will require location spoofing on Sony TVs. Continue reading if you have questions about location spoofing
Q: Which version do I install modified unmodified or High Bitrate?
You can install either one, but they cannot be installed simultaneously.
Tip: if you have any other apps installed that require the amazon app store to be side loaded, use the _amazon version.
The higher bit rate apk has been tested to work on shield TV 2015/2017, it most likely works on other devices as well but i have not confirmed . If you have a low end device and limited bandwidth please use the DTV Now_Amazon apk. Also see .txt file in Higher Bitrate folder if you have questions.
I want to thank Veeco for discovering this mod. And IcerJo for beta testing the highbit apks for me .
and for additional bitrate testing done by IcerJo see post https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=78761171&postcount=372
Q : Why do you have a modified version, how is it different?
The modified version does not require the amazon app store to be installed. All that is removed from the modified version is the amazon app store verification.
No longer updated after version 2.0.15.02146 (Please see .txt file in the modified folder or read original post for more details)
Q: Cant log into the App getting Error 201
Check the email or password you are inputting. There may be an extra space in the email field.
For example: [email protected] com as opposed to [email protected]
Credit and Thanks for this tip goes to uicnren
Q: DirecTV Now Not Authorized Error Message
1. Remove Amazon App Store (if installed)
2. Clear Data and Cache
3. Settings -> Apps -> DirecTV Now -> Clear Data/Cache
4. Make sure you have the permissions set for the DirecTV app.
5. Settings -> Apps -> DirecTV Now -> Permissions -> Location (ON)
Credit and Thanks for this tip goes to Johnny14o
Q: I have no picture, sound or get a error 40 message. What should I do?
Some users have reported that running the modified version results in video and audio issues. If you are having such issues with the modified version, try the unmodified version.
Q: Live TV has no sound, but on demand works.
Check the audio settings from the shield settings menu, users have reported that turning of surround sound or adjusting other sound options helped them resolve the issue
Q: Application can’t determine location or won’t play any channel (Gray Screen).
Enable both storage and location permissions and also under location select use Wi-Fi to estimate location
Sometimes it may take multiple toggles for the new permissions to register and a device restart maybe required.
Or you may need to spoof your location if using other Android TV devices such as Sony X900e , MiBox, etc. See last below for Spoofing instructions
Q: How to spoof your Location?
See method#2 ,if you don’t want to purchase app cloner
Download app cloner and see video for steps.
. Credit goes to whiteboi-hakz for the video!
Location Spoofing is also necessary if you wan to run version 2.0.14.03143 and up on your Sony Android TVs .
Or if your Android TV device, fails to find your location even after you enabled the necessary settings and restarted the device multiple times. Once location is spoofed you do not need to re enable location and storage permissions.
Video on me using version .02146 on my Sony X900e with spoofed location.
App Cloner, is no longer available on the app store , see link to download. https://plus.google.com/communities/110152846393129525806
Premium features must be unlocked for location spoofing to work . Sideload the App Cloner apk and to purchase premium features search "App Cloner " on Google Play Store. Cost is $3.99
If you get cloned app is device locked message , re clone app but enable device lock and key in device # to do this go to
clone settings >launching options>device lock> put in the device #
Method #2
Credit and Thanks goes to marc.ientilucci
1. Enable Developer mode
2. Install Fake GPS ( link https://apkpure.com/fake-gps/com.blogspot.newapphorizons.fakegps )
3. In developer settings, choose the Fake GPS for mock locations
4. You will need the coordinates, so head over to google maps on your phone / pc and get the latitude and longitude of where you'd like to set your location.
5. Open the Fake GPS app and search - plug in your coordinates.
6. Click start

I don't see why it wouldn't and I'm sure if a update is required they will release it . But I'll upload it either way lol
Somewhat off topic but I also read a article recently that they were going to start beta testing again for VR . If they do we got to jump on it[emoji23]
Original article
https://www.cordcuttersnews.com/directv-now-will-let-you-watch-four-concurrent-live-streams-in-2019/
"AT&T has not commented on plans to bring this new feature to other devices, but AT&T typically brings new features to most of the devices they support. Hopefully this new DIRECTV NOW beta will not be limited to AR headsets."

Here is the local channel search on their site. I would pick a popular city thats Eastern time , Central or Pacific. And go from there.
If you look through the other directv thread they have some apps that apparently work at spoofing the location. The posts were within the last month or two. I'll have to look at the thread over the weekend to see what apps worked

Ok found the best method for everyone to get around the location issues
Step 1 download app cloner
Step 2 put the dtv now apk on your phone (don't install it just put it on sd card)
Step 3 open app cloner and find your dtv now apk click it and under the privacy settings go-to spoof location
Set it where you want hit CLONE
Done! It won't be a issue ever again even with the future updates !
P.s app cloner is a paid app I suggest everyone buy it for future releases of dtv now

I have the premium app cloner and am trying to clone the mobile 2.0 apk but when I select spoof location the screen just flashes opens for a split sec then goes back to the same screen without giving me a chance to select a location. Any ideas what would cause this?
Do you need a legit DirectTV login for this app to work on Shield TV ?
