I have been able to get every google app to sync with the KF except the calendar. Has anyone had any luck? I have it working on my NT:S
I guess i should clarify...I am rooted

I had my gootle calendar sync'd along with my exchange yesterday. Only problem, I have no idea how I did it. Also, it really messed up my Gmail though. I was getting really old gmails showing up as new messages.
I ended up wiping and starting over. Now my gmail is working fine, but I cant see my google calendar!
It looks like there is hope, it's just going to take someone much smarter than me to figure it out.
I actually found a great guide on getting this up and running. Syncing with business calendar perfectly now.

You installed the calendar after you moved the files, not before? You need to install after moving it. Let me know one way or another if you have been able to fix it.

Finally fixed it!
First I updated the "GoogleContactsSyncAdapter.apk" from sl0ttedpig (30th November 2011, 07:35 AM):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1369781&highlight=calendar+sync
then I copied to /system/app the "GoogleCalendarSyncAdapter.apk" from this post:

Now I FINALLY have the checkbox under Sync Settings, and after checking it, the Google Calendar syncs!

Not sure why you are unable to get them from the Amazon Appstore being from Brooklyn, but here you go anyway!
Hulu +
Netflix
Note: I'll leave the files up there for about a week before I erase them, so get 'em while you can!

Netflix was a direct upload of the apk via Dropbox, so it's the exact file that was on my system. MD5 checksum is confirmed.
Sorry it's not working. FWIW, I just tried Netflix on mine and it seems to be working fine, so not sure what is going on with your app.

I was having problems logging in to Netflix on both my Fire and my Android phone yesterday. It's working this morning, so give it another try. I guess they were having Android issues on the server side.

Does anyone have v1.6 that they could upload? I'm from the States but currently I'm working in Germany so it's being blocked in the market for me. I'm using a vpn, but still having no luck downloading it (works on my pc). I'm curious if I can get it working if I just had the app. Thanks
Edit: just realized this was the kindle fire forum. I'm wanting this for my galaxy s2, so not sure if this is the same app or not

Howdy,
I'm wondering if anyone has been able to get the Hangouts app to work on their N4. I'm running the latest nightly of CM 10.1. I went to install Hangouts from the Play store and it says that I have it installed. However my app is still called Talk and has the Talk interface. Has anyone had luck getting this updated?
Nevermind heh. I just used CM File Manager to move the talk.apk from /system/app to a backup location. Then I went to the Play store and tried again. This time it installed the new version.
I had the same issue. My solution was to go onto the Web store and install it from there to my phone. Seemed to do the trick.

Interesting, I tried that first but it didnt work for me.
I wish I could edit my title so it is more descriptive...
Just uninstall the original Talk app first (using Titanium or anything that's capable of remiving system app).
Seriously i rated this with 1 STAR.
It must say: "Replaces Talk AND REMOVE THE F$$$ING VOICE-CALL FEATURE FROM YOU Talk".
Its best to remove Talk and then install Hangouts.
Does anyone know how to get this working with the N4 if it's not rooted?

Nope - I have two stock, unmodified, new Nexus 4's... one upgraded no problem with the new Google Hangouts that properly replaced Google Talk... and the other, upgrades with Google Hangout but in the app list and everywhere else, still shows Google Talk but no Google Hangout. Under all apps, Google Talk is still shown. If you open it from there, the old Talk launches. If you search Google Play for Google Hangouts, it shows 'Installed' and if you open Google Hangouts from there, it launches the old Google Talk.
Very strange.... gonna try clearing some app data and what not to see if it resolves.

Please let us know if you figure anything out. I'm on stock as well and I'm starting to regret it because of updates like this. I bought this phone for updates but so far, it seems to be behind on that(4.2 OTA took a week). I've tried uninstalling/reinstalling google+ and that didn't work. I thought it might be tied to g+ since Google is trying to make it more involved with Android. I might root this weekend if I don't get it soon.

I had the same problem earlier trying to download it from the play store app, so I went to the desktop play store site and remotely installed it from there and it worked.

Google have addressed this as follows:
Google said:
NOTE: If you aren't yet able to install Hangouts on your phone or tablet, or the Play Store "Open" button takes you to the old Talk app, hang tight, we are rolling out Hangouts to everyone over the course of several days. Rest assured Hangouts will be available soon for all Android 2.3+ devices, tablets included!

I was having the same issue as others. It shows as installed on the phone (v 1.0.0.1) and via Play Store in a browser.
I was able to use a browser and install it to my wife's Nexus S though.
Here is the APK for v 1.0.0.678017 which I was able to side load and works fine on my N4.
Due to APK file size, I had to upload it in a ZIP archive.
Thanks mate, I had the same issue on my JB Xperia. Your APK worked.

I made the same mistake. I removed the update "3.6.1.44747389", but now the market pushes "3.6.0.44338848" instead. Not sure what the difference is, but I side loaded a backup of the newer version.
The apk SpookyTunes posted worked for me, I have it on my Galaxy tab 2.
I haven't rooted yet, so I'm just sideloading the latest 7.5 version of Google Maps on my HDX (14.3.1). It installs fine and when run displays the base map normally, however all the labels are unreadable. It looks as if they are overwriting themselves. All other functionality works as expected, but the map is basically unusable in this state.
I'm wondering if anyone else is using Google Maps on an 8.9 HDX? I'm hoping to not have to root right away, but I know I will eventually. Unfortunately there isn't another good mapping app so getting this working is key to me. Thanks in advance,
Steve

I have the same issue with the 7" HDX. There is a better Mapquest app on 1Market (better than the one in the Amazon app store) that works pretty well.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk
It's good to hear it's not just my HDX, maybe there's a chance it will be fixed. I tried the latest Mapquest and it's pretty good, but I still prefer Google Maps. So far out of 30 Google Play apps it's the only one with any major issues.

Sent from my KFAPWA using xda app-developers app
I also noticed Maps wants to install Google Play Services when you attempt to set the current location (GPS on my LTE version). I was able to sideload GP services, but that didn't resolve the problem.
Does anyone have Google Maps working on an HDX, rooted or unrooted? Updates to Maps haven't helped so far, but maybe an update to the Kindle OS?

I found some old versions of Maps on this page: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2357873
However, none of them seemed to fix the problem of the app not showing street names or overwriting names to where you can't read them. This is REALLY frustrating as I use google maps a lot and this bug makes it practically unusable.
I've gone back as far as version 6.8 and I still see the label overwrite problem. One thing I noticed is after I install and run Maps for the first time, I see the message "Updated to latest version". It seems as if Maps gets an online update the first time it connects to the server. If that's what happens there may not be anyway to install an old version.

Works fine on aosp rom
I have the same issue on my HDX 7 -- and have also tried other versions of Maps.
However, I am running Cpajuste's AOSP 4.2 rom on one of my slots and the Google Maps rendering works fine!
Therefore, it would "appear" to be an issue with the Amazon OS.
Same here.Posted a screenshot couple of weeks ago in a similar thread. Hdx 7 stock no root. Maybe we should could contact Google for this cause it's really strange..

This is for the Amazon ads version of the g4 play. What this is supposed to do is patch in memory the build.prop file to allow tethering when the phone tries to check in with the carrier to see if tethering is allowed. No it does not need an unlocked bootloader. If it's the same as the fix I've been working with him on then it is only a temporary fix as rebooting the phone will lose the option and the app has to be run again.
@ledothis you may want to describe to them how long it takes to run the app and what they'll see on their screen.

It appears to go through similar processes as the adb instructions. I got the moto logo for awhile and then it went black. But it stayed there for quite a while. Almost ten minutes. So I just rebooted the phone. I'll try again tonight after a clean reboot.

Are you on an Amazon version of the g4 play? And what entitlement app? Don't you have to have root to freeze apps? No root on this device.
If you ran this app can you tell me how long it took the app to make the change and return to a usable state?

Same issue. Patching assets (actually takes longer than the first one), then restarting... and then either a black screen (with backlight you can see) or the Moto logo and it just sits and sits... Waited almost 5 minutes once and nothing. But more than a minute each time.
I then cleared the data/cache of the app and still the same thing. I just can't get it to work.
For info:
I'm on 6.0.1 , Patch level July 1, 2016
Build: MPI24.241-2.35-1
Do I need something in developer options turned on?
Oh well..
Yeh sorry guys I just retried the app on my phone and it wasn't working.
There is some intermittent issue that I need to solve.
I am busy tonight but I will take a look tomorrow.

Okay I just got back from my camping trip. had no cell service at all where we were so it didn't matter. I've downloaded this copy and tested it and it appears to be working fine. I ran the app and let it patch the assets restart came up allows hotspot reboot hotspot is lost rerun the program let it restart and hotspot is back again.
Would be interesting if some people in the ad removal thread who have already upgraded to nougat could test this and see if it worked.
