Read one of the many threads.
Basically once you install, you need to use root explorer, copy the keyboard apk from data\apps to system\apps
then reboot, then long tap a typable area to bring up the keyboard changing screen, then change keyboard.
Majority of them wont work right or FC on you.

My documents are not opening on the "Amazon Launcher" anymore.
Once i touch the file on the grid, it "flashes" (indicating the "click/touch") but nothing happens.
Also, my Documents on the "sdcard" folder are not showing up on the "Device" tab, is there any specific folder i have to put them ?
I installed two apps "Quick Office" and "Office Suite", i dont know if it makes any difference but, who knows.
What can be happening?
Info : Rooted 6.3 Kindle Fire - No Custom Rom
Thanks in advance.
Bumping Thread.
Sorry for doing this, but, i need to make the documents tab work
The location of the document folder is user configurable through setting option as part of office application. You may create a new folder to store your docs or you can use icloude services.

Im not sure if im too late, but i had a similar problem, and i read in a thread a ways back that to solve this, you need to go to system/app/kindleforotter.apk reinstall the app using root explorer or something similar. It solved my issue with this, i hipe it does yours.

Solved using your method.
I reinstalled the App, and forced a sync.
After sync is done, i could be able to make it work.
Thanks, really ! ! !
See ? Its never late to give a right answer
Well thanks haha. Im glad it worked

Any ideas on how to get it back?
When I click on input fields (for urls, or any text field) the keyboard will nto show up anymore.
Really struggling to know what I may have done to disable it.

I think so, maybe. I installed a few apps for trying to link pc to droid. Could that be it?
Try....
What Web Browser are you using? Silk?
Uninstall any apps that you installed since it last worked.
Still missing?
Try these things.
Before the steps below, try a hard reset. Unplug from charger (if needed), press and hold the power button for 20 seconds or so until the kindle shuts down. Then start it up.
Still missing?
1) Go into Settings > Language & Keyboard > Keyboards , then tell me what you see in there.
2) Go into Settings > Applications > Installed Applications > Swipe > clear data (also look in the app list for "amazon keyboard")
3) Go into Settings > Language & Keyboard > Keyboards > English (3rd option down?) > Personal dictionary > "select all' > "delete"
4) Download another keyboard (from play store if you can) and see if it will work. Maybe keep it?
Try that, and maybe by then, somebody smart will have a better solution.
Good luck!
Stupid question but life is full of stupid problems.... is bluetooth on? And if so are you paired to anything (maybe on accident) that your kindle could think is a keyboard?

los911,
We have seen this before, did you edit the build.prop? If yes, restore the original by downloading the System update from here: Amazon Software Update - change the .bin to .zip, unzip the package. Then using ES File Explorer compare the original /system/build.prop to your system/build.prop. If that checks out OK, next compare the package /system/app to your /system/app - anything missing? Is this a Kindle Fire 2? Did you play around with the Framework-res.apk?
I Had Backuped all my amazon apps in system folder so i can get them if i needed, i share this for all that need an amazon app

Currently my favorite keyboard (harcker's keyboard) works, but the right side of the keyboard it cut off by the navbar. Other keyboards like swype have fixed this issue and I imagine it's not that hard to do. If anyone knows of a fix, please share.
But for now, we should all vote for this bug so that Klaus notices it.

Let's get this thing working!
Remove the nav bar. Add LMT. Problem solved.

You could use button savior. I actually prefer LMT, for more customization.

Tis the method I employ
hmm, I already tried this, but I couldn't get LMT to work (I'm running kinology). It just kept saying "LMT" has stopped.
Is there an apk for lmt?
Edit: found it.

I have the stock navbar disabled, Hacker's Keyboard, Button Savior, LMT & Homeflip. The only thing I can't do...is find space to type in.
Used xsposed installer an xsposed app settings set all apps that use keyboard to fullscreen

Visit the Kinology ROM thread in the 7" Android Development forum and pose the question to the ROM creator psych0phobia. He has fixed the keyboard issue by adding a right side padding code. This may be able to be applied to any keyboard. You'll have to ask.

Actually, I think there's already a link to a working version in the thread.
Out of curiousity, what did you do to fix the keyboard issues psych0? Looking at appling it to my swype 3 keyboard on my stock rooted ROM.

It's not a generic thing. The AOSP keyboard happens to have side margins in the layout files. Unfortunately, they specify a single value for both sides. I had to hack the .smali a bit to make the value only apply to the right side. (Yes, I probably could have just rebuilt from source with my change, but it was faster for me to just hack it in.)

Is there any way you can release the keyboard as is as an apk? sick of having the p cut off on mine but don't want to jump to Kinology yet as I had a close shave with my KFTT last night, thought I'd bricked the bugger, no file explorer would read the /data folder and i got the red triangle on one boot (didnt persist once i'd rebooted though)
Would be much appreciated.
Here the link for modified Hacker's keyboard:

Hi, I'm running Slim 4.3 Build 1 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2393971) on my lcd version nexus s and really like the on screen buttons included with the rom. Is there any way to remove the back light from the capacities buttons and stop them vibrating?
Thanks
If you download Nexus S Tools from the Play Store, you can disable the capacitive lights, and there's a file somewhere in system/usr that has the keycodes for the capacitive buttons (you'll know what file it is when you see it, there's like 4 lines for back, home, search, and menu). What you gotta do is put a # in front of each line and reboot, then the capacitive buttons will be disabled.

To edit the file, download a file explorer (ES File Explorer is what I use) and enable "root explorer" then go into settings and make sure /system is set to "R/W" (there's a little check box somewhere).
From there go into /system/usr/keylayout/cypress-touchkey.kl and open it as text. Then put a # in front of every line that doesn't have one and then reboot

Do you know if there's a similar procedure to remove also the backlight??
I'd like to keep them always off without changing kernel or rom, i'm on 4.1.2 stock.

As long as you have root, NSTools is always my go-to option since its designed for this phone specifically, so I'd give that a whirl. I don't know exactly what file controls the backlight so I can't help you there

I already tried NStools, but it require a modified kernel to edit the capacitive keys backlight.
Thank you anyway
^Same, I'm trying NStools but I don't thin the kernal is letting me do much. Any recommendations on a good krnal to flash with slim?
Marmite that comes with slim rom is good. I have disabled the back lights using that and nstools in the past. But often they would flicker if you touched them which bugs me.
In the settings somewhere you should be able to disable the hardware keys without altering any system files. I am not on that rom anymore so I can't tell you exactly where!
Ended up using nstools + disabling vibration
esexplorer is pretty complicated
Thanks for the help everybody
