  1. Hello. First thank you for the very good info. I love this tablet HD 8 2018. I have a problem, after I get done installing and start updating I will be logged off Google account.And I get recycled back to Google account setup its like a loop. Even though I set it up after I downloaded Google play following all the steps. I have tried after setup …when I get logged out… to uninstall Google x4. The ones I downloaded and reinstall but that don’t work. I have to do full reset. I seen to only keep Google going for about 2 days at most. I hate the 🔥os. I am a goog!e man, just on Kool-Aid budget. Those rca voyager tabs bite. This was the best I could do. Any help would be greatly from a broken down solider. Hoorah.

  2. I do not get the google settings icon next to the play store icon as in the picture.
    It’s just a constant loop of logging in and then being kicked out back to the home screen.
    When I try logging in from the google play store icon I enter my google email and it recognizes me before I enter my password.

  3. In having same issue as the previous poster, I believe.I’ve downloaded the files as directed and installed as directed. But, first I get a notification that says, “cannot run Google services unless Google serving services is updated.” Then when I run the Google play app it had me sign in, the circle goes around while it thinks then sends me back to the sign in each time I sign in it repeats the same processes in a loop. I’ve also had it just close everything. I’ve tried rebooting the tablet, I have uninstalled & reinstalled the apks & I’ve used the latest version of Google services and later versions both. Has anyone found a solution for this? I will mention I had Google Play up & running once (with the same Google services update error messages) however it wouldn’t download anything with 9gb free internally and 29gb free eternally.it acts like there is no space left. I I eventually uninstalled it all & tried a reinstall in goes off getting Google services updated ,then ran into this loop issue. I have not been successful in getting the Google play app to do anything but allow me to sign into Google services and agree to terms before it asks me shirt sign in again. I’d appreciate any help. Thanks!

    • Not sure about the issue. What’s the generation of your fire tablet? Do you have the Google settings icons on the home screen?

      When you uninstall, you need to uninstall all of them, reboot the phone, then install one by one.

      After reinstalling the apks, you can also install YouTube APK to see whether you can log in from the YouTube app.

  4. It’s a fire 8 hd 8th Gen. And no, the settings icon never was there. Just play store.

    Thanks for responding. I’m just going to accept that I can’t do it. I’ve tried it all. My husband works in computers and we’re both very literate in them and we can’t seem to get it to work. I’m probably overlooking a very small detail, but I’ve spent enough time on it for now. Didn’t really need it for the tablet, just a convenience.

    • The 8th gen should work. You can try to install YouTube after installing other APKs. You can check whether you can log in in the YouTube app.

      Hopefully, Amazon can make some real Android tablets in the future.

  5. Got the same problem as described by Marci. I was a bit lucky. I got Google play store to work once. So I installed YouTube and Google play books. Even with the error message about Google play services, YouTube still works. But I can’t login to YouTube. Now Google play store is not working anymore. Keep asking me to sign in. Wonder what causes the problem. FYI, I am having Fire OS 6.3.0.1. Build date is Dec 4, 2018.

    • Did you install the correct version of the APK files? Fire OS 6 (on 8th gen of Fire HD 8 )is based on Nougat.

      For Google Account Manager and Google Service Framework, as mentioned in the page, you need to get the APKs for Android Nougat (7.0), not those for 5.1.

      You can also try to clear cache or reset the app for Google Play store, Google Play services, and Google services framework, in Settings — Aoos & games — Manage all applications.

  6. I had similar problems but realised when I went into apps there was a Google app that I couldn’t delete for some reason.I did factory reboot and it was gone. Then I tried again and all is good! Thanks for the guide simon, appreciated.

  7. I got minemine to work too. The apks were installing on extendable memory I had to move them to internal after they were installed. I knew it had to be something simple I was overlooking. Thanks!

  10. My fire HD 2017 will not update the firmware beyond 5.3.6.4 (I assume that this was the version when I installed the hack). My understanding is that the current firmware is 5.6.x.x. I am guessing that this change is preventing the firmware from upgrading. Yes, I do want the update for a few reasons. Second, the change seems to have disabled the aGPS. My understanding is that this is a known issue (although I can live with this).

    Anyway, I’d like to at least try uninstalling the play store stuff to see if I can fix these problems (at least temporarily). Is there a way to reverse these changes? Do I just uninstall the apps? If so, is there an order to doing so (reverse from install)?

    • Fire OS 5.3.6.4 actually is 5.6.3.0 (some mistakes in Amazon side). If the build date is November 2018, it is actually 5.6.3.0. I think all 6th and 7th gen tablets are currently updated to this version 6.3.6.4(or 5.6.3.0).

      For GPS, fire tablets do not use Android GPS stacks. Instead, they use Amazon location service. But Amazon location services use part of the Android GPS stacks. When any Google apps or any apps from Play store set up location services, the location services on fire tablet may be messed up. There are NO solutions to this.

      To remove Play store, you just need to uninstall the apps, then reboot the tablet. The sequence of uninstalling does not matter.

      When installing, make sure they are not installed on the SD card (if you are using one in the tablet). They must be in internal storage.

  11. This was a pain on Fire 8 (8th generation). I finally removed the memory module and restored to factory install. Then I re-authorized the unit and installed Play Store. Google settings does not show but Play Store works and I have installed some of my apps.

  12. Update: I have now installed the SD card. I have selectively moved data and programs to it. Avoiding anything Google. Everything seems to be working. Thanks for the help.
