Use the instructions located in another Thread here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/amazon-fire/general/how-to-install-google-play-store-fire-t3486603
If you run into a problem where after you download the APK and the install button is "dimmed out" and is not responding to touch, lock and unlock the screen and the install button should be "lit" back up and working again.
Just got my son a HD 8 which has 5.6.0 and trying to side load Play Store to get YouTube Kids. I've read the above and linked threads, but cannot get any of the APKs to install. The next/install button remains disabled even after switching on/off Allow Unknown Sources, restarting multiple times, and attempting the screen lock/unlock. Not sure why it would work for some devices and not others when running the same OS version.
Any suggestions?

I was finally able to get them installed on my profile. Then copied them to a SD card and attempting to install in child profile so it can be available in FreeTime, but unfortunately when locking / unlocking screen it reverts back to the main FreeTime launcher vs staying on the install window. Really want this app available in FreeTime so my kid can remain in FT only.

When I updated my device the GPS not run . anyone can help me
I have had the Google Play Store and Services etc installed since i purchased my 7th Gen HD 8 last Sat. I've noticed that Google Play tries to install an update for the Kindle App but it fails and then when I try to open the Amazon Books app after wards it blinks a black screen then the app crashes and goes back to the Apex Launcher home screen. I have to restart the HD 8 in order to get that app to work again and when I do it acts as if this is the first time i've opened the app.
I have searched Google and this Forum but can't seem to find any info on this. Has anyone else seen this issue and know how to fix it?

It seems Amazon chose to use a different signature for those apps which means at least for now you can't update them successfully or even install play store versions when Amazon versions have been uninstalled.

Yes, I did it two days ago. When yu are on that step to do "instal", just turn of/turn on your tablet and you will see that "install button" are working.

Lock/unlock is not working. Just turn of/turn on the tablet and is working.
With my 5.6.0.0 tablet the next button is blanked out EVEN with.....
(1) Allowing apps from unknown sources. And turning that off and on, and rebooting
(2) Using sleep button to lock/unlock tablet
(3) And plain turning the tablet on and off

If you haven't already, makes sure you are scrolling to the bottom of the permissions list then lock/unlock. On my HD 10 I think it was the third one, Play Services, that the button only lit up after scrolling.

Someone mentioned setting up the built in Amazon app first to solve that. I did that first before installing Gmail (and turned off notifications for the Amazon one) and haven't had any problems.

setting up what? can you show me more detail please!
Hello,
My kids have Huawei P9 Lite Mini and using Screentime lab application to moderate the phone use: however they have recently discovered that Ultra Power Saving as a way to by pass screentime and keep running their favourite apps.
So, how the heck can I get rid of Ultra Power Saving? If I root the phone, is there any chance I can hack the setting and disable the possibility to activate such Ultra Power Saving mode?
I would be truly grateful to anyone who can help me with this!
Cheers,
Daniele
You can't disable it sadly. Huawei phones cannot be rooted anymore so the only thing you can do is to password lock the apps they use.

Thanks sir! Unfortunately this Ultra Power Savings ruins the whole idea of screentimelabs.com as it kills the background running application. Putting password would not allow them to use the phone during the allowed time, so I'm at a dead end :-/
I read about some portals that sell Huawei bootloader unlock codes but it sounds suspicious, plus I'm not still sure whether with Tasker or other tool I could change the core of Settings and disable that damn UPS...
Thanks anyway for your input!
I have finally found a hack to do this!
So the general idea is that the UPS setting can be accessed in 2 locations, one is in Notification Shade, the other one is in the phone setting. We will just block/replace these 2 access points then we are good.
1st, install the "Power Shade" App, it replaces the system Notification Shade, so that the UPS cannot be reached from the Notification Shade.
2nd, use any parental control apps / self control apps to block kids from opening the "Power Shade" app and the phone setting.

But you can still access ultra safe mode from Settings/Battery and turn it on from there. To fix that you have to install a launcher like Nova to, and block/hide settings from app drawer.
I'm searching for a solution too, to could set screen time for my childrens. Any other ideas.
I'm on Havok Rom, and I've got magisk installed, and it passes all safety checks and is hidden from google pay. Google pay works fine until i go to confirm the card details, then i get a pop up saying "looks like another app is blocking access to the wallet, Turn off any apps that might be drawing over the screen and try again"
I've disabled all apps from Displaying over other apps in the settings, but this error keeps popping up.
Does anyone know solution to this?
Did you find a solution to this? I am on stock and have the same issue.
I don't get the same error message, but I can't use my credit card with Google Pay anymore... I get the error message "Couldn't finish setup to pay in stores. This phone can't be used to pay in stores. This may be because it is rooted or altered in some other way".
It is rooted. Of course it is.
I'm using a OnePlus 6 with the latest firmware. My Recovery or Kernel aren't modified. Google Pay is hidden in Magisk and passes the SafetyNet test.
What gives? Google increased it's root detection? Is it happening to someone else?
Thank you!

no solution found yet, even on a completely fresh ROM install with no apps other than Google it still gives me the same message.
I have the same problem with one banking app. Others work fine except one. Also on stock ROM

OK, I started thinking maybe this is something to do with the gesture area at the bottom of the screen, and I think I'm right as I have a solution that works (at least for me).
Go to Settings->Buttons & Gestures->Navigation Bar & Gestures
Under 'Choose Navigation Bar' select 'Back, Home, Recents'
Now go into 'Navigation Bar Customisation' and turn on 'Hide the navigation bar' - this will add an icon on the left of the nav bar allowing you to pin or unpin (autohide) it.
Now go back into the Google Pay app and start setting up your card. When you get to the point where the 'Continue' button is missing pin or unpin the navigation bar, depending on what state its in currently. The 'Continue' button will appear.
Doesn't work for me unfortunately, continue button has always been there but I can't click it in the confirming card details section due to the app drawing over the screen notification, and unfortunately removing the nav bar didn't change anything.

Had a similar issue. The only way I got it to work is go to settings: Apps -> Google Play Services ->Permissions -> Disable phone/telephone. Try again.
For me BLue light filter app was blocking the wallet to pay after recent update on wallet. By turning off filter app, wallet worked.
This is not working for me as well. Any possible fix? The fixes mentioned in the comments do not work for me. I have disabled drawing over apps for all apps
Possible solution
Make sure you arent using an app to dull your screen resolution. Turn it off in settings.
I don't know if this will work or not but I would suggest going through all of your apps yes I know it's probably a lot. Turning off the permission to draw over other apps one by one. Reboot your device and check to see if it's working

Try turning off smart pixels or any such thing
Try turning off battery saver. It worked for me.
Got the resolution
Just turn off the smart pixel if it's enabled
I found the solution guys. App notifications are the culprits here. You have to clear the notifications by dragging down the notification bar from top. It resolved the issue for me. Please try and comment.
The Problem I have also face, but I have resolved the issue by uninstalling the blue lite app, the screen will impact on the google pay and Irctc app
Sorry for posting in the wrong section. I am using Oneplus 5 with the crdroid pie based rom. For me the issue was fixed by turning off the smart pixels option in crdroid settings.
Developer options
The only thing that helped me was disabling developer options. I think Google Pay assumes that since the developer options are enable the device isn't safe.
Hope it helps.
(I have an ASUS Zenfone 4)
I had the same issue on android. Turned out it was the facebook messenger app. Force close it in app settings and should work
Hello there!
I recently bought a Note 20 ultra 5g that is giving me problems with the notifications.
I usually disable heads up notifications on all my devices, since they bother me but with this new phone they keep getting turned back on on their own.
I thought it might be the fault of digital wellbeing or airplaine mode since they seemed to reset at night when those were activated, but today they just reset on their own at 3pm, without me ever doing anything beside leaving the phone on my desk...
Does anyone know of a solution to this or some way of turning them off permanently without rooting my device?
Thanks in advance

Thanks! I just installed it and granted every permissions it requested, also found the options for them.
I don't understand how the toggle works though, to disable heads up should I utrn it to on or off?
Is there any way to set a specific apps volume?
I am literally going mad over the fact that Google assistant is linked to media volume. Since I always have media volume at 25% I can't hear what the assistant says...
I've tried Google with no avail, I can only find threads leading to a Samsung store locked app and to apps removed from play store.
I am rooted and I've looked at magisk modules but can't find anything there either.
Is it just impossible on pixel devices to adjust assistant volume seperate from media volume?
Macrodroid/Tasker would work.
Would be something like:
If "google assistant" in foreground set volume to "x%".

I tried looking at tasker but I can't find Google assistant as an app there.
And also, I couldn't understand how to get it to turn volume back to previous value afterwards when I was testing around on other apps.

idk about tasker but im sure you can do it with macrodroid.
You can pick the app or define the package name.
You can pick actual volume probably with macrodroid internal tools but 100% with command line (adb shell dumpsys audio) you can store the value in a custom variable and restore this value if assistant is not in foreground anymore.
I sure its doable with macrodroid

I tried using macrodroid now but it doesn't do anything when I speak to assistant. I allowed accessibility option, root, disabled battery optimization etc but it won't do anything. Tried using screen content as well but same result unfortunately.
Is it anything wrong with the macro itself?
Edit: added another image to show some other triggers I've tried.

Its working for me.
If i say hey google media is set to 100%, if i exit it get set to 25%.
You only need a way now to capture the volume you used before. Thats pretty easy too. I can look tomorrow or later if you cant get it to work.

Tried your macro but still doesn't do anything. If I just try it on something else, say phone app it works flawlessly same as mine did, but not Google assistant. Have you installed the play store version (asking because I can install the store version but it's already installed with the stock os so I haven't)?

I tried to make this work in Tasker, and at least on QPR3 I couldnt get it to work....the app is Assistant so should be one of the first apps in the list.

I made a full wipe today and installed latest A13 stable release from march 13.
You might like to tick the box to show system apps and try it with the 2 assistant apps (xenrollment and the other).
You might need to install Macrodroid Helper app....

I have the assistant boxes checked (both of them) in the previous image I've posted.
I also tried installing the play store version of assistant to see if that made any difference but no, macrodroid does nothing when assistant opens.
I'll try macrodroid helper later to see if that makes any difference.
Update: it now just works, well, wonky but it works. I set a timer instead of the trigger fired and it works, but only when the phone is unlocked. If it's sleeping and I ask the assistant something it won't raise the volume, or rather the triggers won't work. Is this normal or have I missed a setting that prevents macrodroid from working while the phone is sleeping?
If you're rooted you could use this:
https://www.xda-developers.com/app-volume-control-individual-volume-levels-android/
It allows to individually set volumes per app.
I'm using it to be able to let Spotify run as background music while playing games.

Doesn't work either, I tried it earlier and I tried iy again just to be sure, I manually add Google and Google assistant at 100% volume but it doesn't do anything. I made sure to disable macrodroid as well just in case it would interfere but it made no difference.
Also, that app won't recognize assistant in the audio stream, so I don't think it will be able to control the volume from assistant. That's what I gathered from reading the documentation as well.
