I bought the Dead Space (Kindle Fire) edition app on the amazon app store from my kindle that has the usual Amazon interface, but I wanted to transfer this game to my other Kindle that is running CM9 but I cant seem to find the files using Root Explorer. Any suggestions? (If your wondering why I just don't download it from the Amazon Appstore for Android, that is because I does not show in My Apps! Perhaps that is because it does not detect the Kindle Fire or I just dont know).
I'm having the same issue as you do. My CM7 doesn't show Dead Space in the Amazon App Store. It's probably because it's no longer the Fire stock ROM.
What I have heard works is that if you root your stock Fire and use TitaniumBackup to backup both the app and data, and restore it on your other Fire, it should work.
That's what I ended up doing. I went back to stock 6.2.2, installed Dead Space, backed up the app with Titanium Backup, then re-rooted using BurritoRoot 3, and reinstalled cwm recovery and cm9.
Just be sure to have the Amazon app store installed on cm7/cm9 and you've logged in, otherwise Dead Space won't load.
OK now I have a different problem! I was able to find the file if I'm not mistaken they are in the mnt/asec using root explorer but the kindle I used to download this game is my sisters kindle with stock rom using her amazon account. Unfortunately I can't refund this product to buy it from my account. With this being said I can't play this game because It says I don't own it. Is there a way I can alter any codes to get this wrking.? Because it is a pain to install and uninstall the amazon appstore just to be signing in and out to play dead space or the rest of my apps . Please I need an answer.

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?
Hello,
On my new Kindle Fire HD 7" 7.2.3, I was able to successfully root it, but my issue is that it is linked to my wife's account (since she has amazon prime for some free videos / free books), but my amazon account, which does not have prime, does have a lot of apps that I have downloaded when they were the "free app" of the day.
Is there anyway for me to get a secondary copy of the Amazon app store installed on the kindle so that I can download those apps from my other amazon account? Or is there another work around you can think of?
Thanks.
One method would be to install TWRP.
Back-up your current config (linked to wife's acct?). Reflash to stock, configure to your account, install apps. Backup with TWRP.
Maybe also back-up the apps with Titanium or other app - and then restore them into both systems. Update your backup files.
It only takes 2 or 3 minutes to switch between environments from then on.
This is how I'm moving back and forth between stock and CM10.1 on my KFHD8.9.
So, I finally went through the process of rooting my KFHD7 yesterday and installing CM10.2. I have to say, this was the best thing I've done with my Kindle since I purchased it. One thing that I'm disappointed with is the loss of ability to borrow books through the kindle owner's lending library. I knew this was going to be the case going in, but I'm still determined to find a way to get my monthly quota of free books - after all, they're dependent not on my owning a Kindle, but on my owning a Kindle and paying $90/yr or whatever we're paying for Prime now. I'm paying for it, so I want it, right?
Anyway, what I'm wondering is whether I can just download my books through the Fire Emulator? I set it up and was able to register it under my amazon account, but there's no bookstore. Anyone know if I would have success were I to get the .apk from my original fire install and sideload it into the emulator?
I made a backup of my fire before rooting and flashing, but I don't know how to extract the apk from the .img file. Anyone know how to do this? Or maybe some other approach?

Kindle bookstore. I was able to mount my backup and extract all the .apk's from my original kindle os install. The bookstore just crashed though. I tried installing all of the .apks to see if I there might be a dependency somewhere, but nothing worked. All the apps from my backup just crash.

Can't be done. The work it would take to make three stock OS Alps work with Jelly Bean would be more effort than is worth. They really on certain libraries in the stock OS that aren't in Jelly Bean.

I'm trying to install this on the Kindle Emulator, which is running Kindle OS, not Jelly Bean.

Sorry, I guessed I was a little rushed in my reading. I think you would have to make the apps part of the system partition (push it to /system/app/).
Hi - I have a rooted HD8-6G with Google Play that has been working flawlessly for a long time now. However, I recently tried to update the Kindle app and it always fails.
I then tried to open the Amazon Store app, and it immediately terminates upon opening. I figure that the two may be related.
Is this a known problem?
I suppose I can root my HD8 and start from scratch again, but if Amazon apps aren't going to work anymore, I don't want to waste my time.
Thanks,
¿GJ?

I'm sorry but because of the root Amazon's factory APKs think your running a non kindle firmware, because these APKs have the ability to receive more offers, download more content, etc. You may need to uninstall them and then install the default ones from the play store.

What do you mean by "have rooted with Google Play"??? It seems like you don't understand what term "rooting" means.
Unfortunately (or fortunately ), Fire HD 8 2016 (6-th gen) can NOT be rooted; all "guides" available on internet are the scams and bloatware/rootkits installers, nothing more.
Where is no way to root Fire HD 8 2016 (same as 2017) but literally nothing wrong with the FireOS. Anyone can install Google's services and Play store app, and enjoy "freedom" of the access to the Android apps world!

I don't think you are really rooted, i ran into the same issue after installing the google play store. Simply uninstall the updates installed by google for store and kindle and they will work again.

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???
