I tried some known apk's that work for Ice Cream Sandwich and when i start it i get force close. There is a market installed called SlideMe, but I do not want to use anything besides amazon or google play. Paid $50 for this thing and it's proving to be getting what you pay for. Edit: Just tried Amazon and I was able to get this to work without doing anything special other than allowing 3rd Party Apps
I HAVE FOUND A WAY TO INSTALL THE REAL GOOGLE APP STORE ON MY CRAPPY KLU TABLET. (NO ROOT)
My $50 Klu tablet gave me the same problems like everyone else with the "Slide-Me" and "amazon" app stores. Force close, yada yada.
It turns out it just comes down to a simple download that needs installed to the tablet. Follow these steps...
Normally you could by rooting you tablet and push the necessary google apps, but there`s a method that doesn`t require root. This may or may nor work for you but it`s got a high success rate. Go ahead and download the following zip file:

(Note: I have also attached the 4 pre-extracted files to this post, just in-case the link fails.)
UNZIP THE DOWNLOAD FROM THE PC FIRST (I used winrar), to reveal 4 individual files, and place them in your tablet`s internal memory. (I tried to use the USB cable to transfer them to the tablet at first, however there was no driver for my computer access the tablet.. I over-came this by emailing the downloaded files to myself using gmail, then I downloaded the files to my tablet from the gmail app. Using a file browser app, browse to and install the 4 extracted apk files in this order:
1. GoogleServicesFramework-signed.apk
2. OneTimeInitializer-signed.apk
3. SetupWizard-signed.apk
4. com.android.vending-3.1.3-signed.apk Reboot when done and you should be asked to sign in to google account if it worked.
When I tried this, the first file would not install after being clicked because the tablet said it already had the same file installed. I just skipped it and installed the next 3. After restarting the tablet the google app store appeared. PROBLEM SOLVED.
