Inkbook Prime - Firmware with Google Play?
Hi,
I got my Inkbook Prime a couple of weeks ago and I really like the device but the lack of Google Play servies etc is a really big downside to an android device tbh. So my question is, is it possible to use the Energy System Pro HD firmware (or any other firmware) on the Inkbook Prime? Because installing Google Play on the device does not work (crashes when opening). Thank you. Last edited by frazse; 08-02-2017 at 06:48 AM. |

Unfortunately, while I can get you in the neighborhood I cannot provide a perfect solution.
It would be nice to have Google Play Store, however it isn't a big requirement for me, so it isn’t something I am willing to spend a lot of time on. That being said, when I first got the inkBOOK I did a little research on the various threads getting the Play Store working on Nook Glowlight Plus and Amazon Fire tablets. The result is I can get Play Store to “run”, however when it connects to the cloud I get “Error retrieving information from server RH-01”. My assumption is I have an incompatible version of one of the APKs, but I haven’t spent the time to figure out which one Standard Disclaimers: The following worked for me, but may not work for you. This is the simplest method I could find, there might be better, easier, and non-root methods, I just didn’t try them. If it doesn’t work you should able to undo the steps to return to normal. It is highly recommended to have ADB installed and working so if you get hung up on the device you can still fix it from your computer.
As a side note, after the above steps have been completed you can side-load Play Books version:3.12. Even though the Play Store isn’t fully functional Play Books works fine. |

This worked for me to get Google Play Books working, which is really all I needed as far as Google stuff. |
