I bought the game order & chaos kindle fire edition and I want to download the game from the amazon app store with cm7 or miui flashed on my kindle fire. Is it possible to trick the amazon app store into thinking I am running stock by changing the Build.Prop or anything? Or does anyone have a fix so I can download my (kindle fire edition) apps?
I have also read a few things that I would have to download the game then back it up with titanium, but some people say that even doing that method, gameloft games dont work.
Thanks I appreciate any help you may have.
don't think that will be possible with an other rom than stock
if you fake the fingerprint in build.prop you'r still not registered with amazon
the only possibillity i see is to flash back to stock (the prerooted image from here !!!), register, download the games and copy the apk to a save place.
if the games will work i don't know but you have them and can go further
you could try downloading them and then backing them up with titanium backup

I was able to back up the game, and I then restored it on cm7.
It loads the game and then needs to download 6 mb of additional data.
After finishing the download the game restarts and keeps force closing.
The only other thing I can think of is to change the build.prop back to original stock while still using cm7.
Or I wonder if the android market version would work, but I really dont want to to buy it again..!

Android Market version works fine on CM7... I used this thread for build.prop modifications.
I’m with you on this; purchased a bunch of Gameloft games during the $1 sale on the Android Market with the expectation that once I got my Kindle I would be able to play them on a Tablet as I can’t play games on my phone. After I got the Market and found out they did not show in the market or be side loaded went and purchased the Kindle additions. Have since flashed CM7 and was able to download the majority of the games from the Android Market after using the CM7 Build.Prop tweak that has been floating around but still have 2 of 8 games that after downloading additional data will tell me that I should ask for a refund because my device is not compatible. Otherwise the Build.Prop floating around for cm7 worked out.
I haz idea
could someone back theirs up and post apk link?
Noob here,
With instruction from this fine community I have managed to successfully root my kindle fire and install cm7 via Twrp. I still prefer amazon's native kindle book app, so I jump back in forth between CM7 and kindle fire via the backup restoration option in TWRP. This process is somewhat lengthy and I was curious if there is a dual boot option yet. Or even if there was a way that we could launch amazon's launcher directly from CM7. Thank you for taking the time to respond, and thanks you for the work that you all do.
Cheers
Kinna curious as to what is different between the native reader and the kindle app from the market?

That is a Home Launcher switcher - he would need a ROM switcher to go between CM7 and the stock Kindle Fire Android OS.
nm i wont say anything

Can you recommend one? Do I have to partition my device to have basically two system partitions? Any pointers, links, hints appreciated. Thanks!
There is an app called boot manager for some phones that creates img's of system, data and cache and let's you install a ROM to them then let's you reboot into the other roms where it mounts/loads the img's instead of the partitions. I am a beta tester for the app and could probably provide the files needed for them to add support for the fire but a few issues come to mind like.... Sdcard space, it's rather limited on the fire... I'm not really sure i even want to ask the dev's about the fire because of that issue right there. On my d2, the img's take up a lot of sdcard space.
So hello guys. Before say anything , I have to say this first.
My English is not good, or should I say, terrible ! So if you see anything wrong with the grammar , I'm truly sorry for my Bad english.
So ok, Let's get straight to the point.
- I'm having A Kindle Fire, the FW is 6.2.2 and I have rooted it.
- I'm using the Go Launcher Ex and when I tried to use Amazon Kindle Apps ( To read books ) , I just couldn't launch it so .... I tried to replace it with the Amazon Kindle from the Google Market.
After I downloaded and installed it, I CAN open the apps now, but I couldn't connect to Amazon Sever ( or as It said ) , so does my Amazone Appstore ( I mean the one that Amazon put in first ). And I couldn't register my Kindle Fire either
- After that **** , I tried to " Reset to Factory Defaults " but It still the same...
So guys, any advice ? And well, I also want to know that can I use any other launcher beside Go Launcher Ex ( Like the Launcher Pro ? I installed it but It keep Force Close ).
Thanks in advance , and sorry for my Bad English.
If you want to try another luncher, maybe try other ROM for KF. CM7 have ADW, ICS have pretty stock luncher too
For CM7 go
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1390773
ICS is still in alpha build so I cant recomend it to you.
About Registration - Try to unroot device before attempting to log in to amazon.
Root KF should not block connecting Kindle Reader to the Amazon server. I can connect to Amazon download and read all my books same like prior to rooted. Now my KF is run on ICS still has no issue with Kindle Reader. May be, you register you device to the wrong account, try check it again.
easy fix - uninstall the amazon reader app
I had the same problem after rooting I installed a ton of new software, and the amazon standard services (books, movies etc) all stopped working and the content was "missing". It was still on the device but did not show.
I restored factory defaults (from Kindle Fire settings menu), re-rooted and re-installed software more carefully.
For me it turned out the Amazon reader app was the culprit. I removed it and everything worked and is working fine. So you don't need to reset and re-root - just remove the app.
Assuming you loaded this software for a reason but you don't need it. If you are side-loading books into the device and you want them to show up in your "Books" tab, then you just need to use Calibre software on your computer to change the metadata of the e-book file from PDOC to EBOK

The Kindle App on Kindle Fire poses problems of data corruption for normal users at times. The solution is this:
===
Make sure WiFi is 'ON' when doing this)
Go to the Gear wheel at top right when at Home Screen
Then click on:
. More,
. Settings,
. Applications
... (choosing ALL applications to view),
Select 'Amazon Kindle' and then
. Click to clear DATA (which clears the cache at the same time)
Press Home at bottom left
SIT BACK as it all returns to The Way It Was.
No restart needed. No need to remove the app.
===
Not sure that would work for your situation but it's a real possibility.
Hey guys i have a Kindle Fire i rooted with burrito root 3 when it was 6.2
Okay so today i turned on my Fire only to see apps missing and so i proceeded to
go to my root app delete application and tried to uninstall the stock facebook app as superuser, i was then notified i wasn't rooted. I immediately went to /device/ checked system version and seen it was now 6.3
I went trolling the web for answers to root and found this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1568340
long story short i decided to take a risk and opened up Kindle Fire Utility hit the #3 key (Install Permanent Root with superuser) once the kindle fired back up (no pun intended lol) I was once again able to be superuser and fully rooted.
I just wanted to let people know 6.3 is still able to be re-rooted via Kindle Fire Utility
Take care and God Bless
When I woke today I seen update 6.3 on the kindle. I seen the posted link showing how to root the 6.3 update. I was able to root my kindle fire again using that post.
Every since I owned my Kindle Fire I was following the CM. Thought I would install CM9 and gave it a try. Besides the current Hardware acceleration issue which I'm sure it's being worked on. I really do like how the CM9 runs and feels so far.
Just cant wait for the Hardware acceleration to be fixed. Just kinda wish I could post in the CM9 post here. Let the guy know how much I like it.
I have just restored root with Kindle Fire Utility 0.94,
option 2
All fine by now!
.........edit..........
Only that I still have 2 problems:
- cannot install Winamp, at all, just gives me an error about "not available shared library"
- cannot install Titanium Backup. I had it before and after update it kept force closing. Now, when I try to install, it says "Insufficient Application Storage", which surely isn't the case, as I could install NFS shift after this error and it shurely had enough space to do that.
Does anyone know how to solve this? (
Thanks!
.........edit(2)..........
OK, I solved with Titanium Backup:
- I could finally install, after finding and deleting this file "app/data/com.keramidas.TitaniumBac.....odex"
(where points are, I am not sure what letters were). But I remember it was an ".odex" file. And after deleting it all went well!
.........edit(3)..........
OK, I "solved" with Winamp:
- Kinde Fire has some restrictions I wasn't aware of, that stopped Winamp from installing with some shared library, I had to downgrade back to the old Amazon version, and now it installs
My kindle updated 6.03 this afternoon and it worked perfectly with me

thank you was going crazy trying to figure this out and somehow happened upon this thread and now all is well
Hello,
I rooted my tablet a while ago, froze several apps with Titanium and all works fine. Save for the Kindle app. I'm a Prime member and I use Kindle. Since the root, the Kindle app won't update and often crashes. I must often re-download books I had already downloaded before from my library. Is there a way to fix the Kindle app?
I tried freezing it with Titanium along with other apps that seemed related, and then to install an apk of a different version, but it will never install.
I was afraid to uninstall Kindle with Titanium. But is it even possible? If yes, will I be able to install the Google Play version of the app after? Thing is, I don't want to lose access to the Kindle app for good...
Thanks for any input.
Hello
I had similar problem before (rooted). You can try to clear the cache in recovery mode.
+ plus power on button to clear cache.
It works for me afterward.
I cleared the cache already, not in recovery, and it seems fine so far.
Still, being able to uninstall the Kindle version and get the one on Google Play would be best....

Good to hear that
The Kindle in Fire OS has some advantages over the one in Google Play...
However, it might be better to have a unified interface for most people ( I am one of them) , please share if you can get rid of that and if any side effect available.....

What are the advantages of the Fire OS Kindle vs the Google Play one?
I'm still very hesitant to completely uninstall it with Titanium (if it's possible), fearing I could not be able to install it again after the fact... If it goes on like now without crashing or erasing my downloaded books, I'll live with the Fire OS Kindle for now...

1. It don't need you to login XD
2. Not sure if Newstand an exclusive feature to fire os kindle ?
I think the package name for both play and fire store might share same directory so they are killing each other.
I am not a hardcore android user so i wont' able to test all of these, but worst case just adb update the fireos again should be ok :laugh:
I have a HD 10 (7th Gen) on Fire OS 5.4.1.0. I uninstalled the kindle app using titanium and didn't have a backup (whoops). I downloaded from playstore and it installs but does not open. Anyone have the original kindle app apk? Also have same problem with Amazon Shopping.
I rather not have to factory reset and root again. Only have a few frozen apps..Advertising ID, amazon.jackson19, devicesoftwareOTA, Email, Fire Keyboard (Asian, Chinese), Fire Launcher, Forced OTA, Silk browser, Silk content service, Special Offers, and Unified Search. Any suggestions???
