there are other sites I'll look for them later
BUT
Amazon is blocking the install of some apps
example is FBReader
so i had to fine the APK to FBReader to sideload it
I found 2 sites where you can download Google Play apps
"Only the free ones, this is not a pirate site"
if you want free "Paid" apk's go somewhere else, we don't do that here"
these sites download the APK directly from Google play
http://apk-dl.com/
http://apps.evozi.com/apk-downloader/
I have only used apk-dl but that both should work
Ricci
apkmirror.com
TKruzze uploads many files there
Hi,
you also can use the Raccoon - APK downloader to download App from the Google Play Store.

So I have a FTV2 that I can't root (yet... hopefully) because it's on the 5.2.4 software - but I needed Google Play Services in order to run a particular program I sideloaded. Using the info in this guide:
http://www.aftvnews.com/how-to-inst...amazon-fire-tv-or-fire-tv-stick-without-root/
I was able to get (what I believe to be) the latest working versions (for the FTV) installed. The program in question now works fine. Here's what I did (again, all credit to the above source... all I did differently is figure out and download the latest versions of each):
1) Download the following apks (I got all of these from apkmirror) and install in this order:
- com.google.android.gsf_4.0.4-488656 (this is Google Services Framework)
- com.google.android.gms_10.2.98_(030-146496160) (this is Google Play Services)
- com.google.android.gsf.login_5.1-1743759 (this is Google Account Manager)
- com.android.vending_6.8.24 (this is Google Play Store)
2) Once the above are installed, launch the Google Play Store and attempt to login. It'll fail. That's expected.
3) Hit home key and you're gtg!! Apps requireing play services should now work (at least they did for me).
I'm not sure if you have to do the play store part or even install the play store and/or the account manager, but I figured it couldn't hurt.
Hope that helps!
Didn't work for me. Still get the
"app(optus sports in my case - Australia) won't run without Google play services which are missing from your phone"
Thanks for trying to help though.

Hi All, I have just tried to install google play on my Fire TV 2 and I get an Error saying this app isn't compatiable with your device. To fix this problem, go to settings and uninstall updates for the google Play Store App. I followed your guide exactly but I am now stuck, can you offer me any advice please. (I only need google play store to download one paid app, as it does not transfer across as a full paid app with apps2fire)
FireTV Software Version:- Fire OS 5.2.4.2 (574263120)
Fire TV Home Version 5.7.3-17
Non Rooted (Really do not want to root it)
Thank you for any help

Any luck with this? I was able to get past this initial issue by installing the Android TV version of the app which allowed me to open, but I get a spinning wheel and nothing loads so I am assuming the framework files are to blame somehow.
All I want is to install a recent version of espxe! As my current version crashes when visiting the preferences screen.
Any help most appreciated!!
Solved
Solved by installing most recent version of expse by transferring apk from device to fire tv so no need to install google play on fire tv 2
I installed and I can get the app to work. It is MSG GO. Now it is asking to allow location services. Thoughts?

Hi,
I have the same FTV2 with the same 5.2.4.0.
And like you I need the Google Play Services for the same reason.
So I installed the exact versions of apks with same the order you provided.
But unfortunately when I launched Google Play Store I only got the cruel error "This app isn't compatible with your device. To fix this problem, go to settings and uninstall updates for the google Play Store App."
You mention that you downloaded the latest version (at that time). Any ideas which versions to download, since they are to many?
Thanks in advance for your kind answer!

Hi,
Can you be more specific on the solution you describe?
Thanks in advance!
Hi
My solution was that I didn't need to install the app I wanted (espxe PlayStation emulator) at all through an installation of google play. Instead I found another android device (tablet) downloaded the espxe apk on that and then copied it to the Amazon fire tv. I messed around with different framework versions but to no avail. I was able to get the 1mobile store installed a lot easier which has many apps but this didn't have the 'paid for' espxe.

Hi,
i'm running CM13 on jfltexx and wanted to try android auto and store lists it as incompatible. Is it better with Lineage14? Or how to get it?
If it's not a paid app, you can try downloading it from another web store or some website.
So how can I make it work with updates etc. Why it is behaving like it is incompatible?
I don't know. Maybe it's not available in your country or something.
As for the updates, I think it should be recognized by the store once installed and update normally. Otherwise you will have to check for updates regularly and manually download and install said update.
If you're using browser to access the play store page of the app, it would say incompatible with all your devices, so log in and add it to wish list through the browser and from the play store you can access the wish list and see why you can't download the app, some browsers redirects you automatically to the play store, for me it says "not available in your country", however the app requires android 5.0 or higher and it's compatible with nogut as mentioned in the app description.
In play store on cell phone it tell me that is not available for my country and when i downloaded apk from apk central it tells me that is not compatible with my phone when i try to install it.
Still did not get it to work, but at least it made me update to android 7 (lineage 14.1).
I don't understand country lock when android auto cars are sold in Czech and i guess even aftermarket head units with AA.
I really need the FireTV APK File from Amazon FireTV for Waipu (TV Streaming).
Can someone Help.I cant download the apk because i didnt have a FireTV Stick.
I only nbeed the APK:
Link for the Download is
amazon.de/waipu-tv-Live-Fernsehen-auf-Fire-TV/dp/B01MG2701V
I wanna instzall it on my ShieldTV
You can use waipu via casting. Install the app on the phone and cast to the shield.
At least that's how I used it.
Hello, has somebody the APk file because I live in Belgium, my wife is German and we would like to see the German Tv . On the Amazon market I cannot download this file because I dont live in Germany. The Apk on other site is only for Android Box. Thanks. F.
Hello. I tried using the toolbox to installthe Google play store. All the icons show up but it will not let me log in. Im in Canada and I remember reading a review about how watered down the Canadian version of this tablet is. Any suggestions? Thanks. Oh I also installed YouTube Vanced and the circle just spins and spins. I'm assuming this has to do with Google as well?

You have to use a free VPN for your Fire tablet using OpenVPN to fix this.
1. Download OpenVPN from APKPure and install it on your Fire tablet.
2. Then go to the VPNBook site and choose the country US on the Free OpenVPN section to download the ZIP file and unzip it.
3. Follow the instructions from VPNBook on how to set up OpenVPN.
4. And try to sign to your Google account and will work.
