Thats the android market - i want the Amazon market that comes with the fire
Go to Amazon.com link below and enter your e-mail address in the 'Getting Started' box. It will e-mail you the Amazon AppStore APK.

Get your books via the Kindle App located in the Android market or Amazon AppStore.

Thanks terracode your awesome lol! I hate that Amazon wont let me get any of the '(Kindle Version)'s I bought :/ any workaround? Before I flashed cm7 i anticipated this happening and looked for an app that would let me back up my purchased apps without luck, i found some app that did app2sd but i couldnt figure out how to use it
Is there any way to get nfl pro 2012 on the fire ive tried on both ics and cm7 with every tweak ive found and still nada. Hate to make a new thread but its driving me crazy.

You've tried getting it on your phone, then sideloading the apk from there? That's how I get apps that aren't compatible. This is how I do it: get titanium backup pro (worth the money and you'll use it for more than just this use) and dropbox (free), download the app to your phone, navigate to the app in tibu and long press the app. Select send this backup, send to dropbox. Get dropbox on kindle also, open on kindle and extract the saved apk.

If not compatability do the MAWR OPEN thread GT-1900. CM7 and d/ld and played last night from the Android Market.

This is how you do it. Flash the latest cm9 Go into root explorer or anothher root file explorer. Navigate to /system/. Mount rw. Long press build.prop, and replace amazon kindle fire with motorola xoom. Then run the app.

Nope this does not work. But I am on MIUI. Don't know if that makes a difference.
It installs and works fine for me on CM7 with a mortified build.prop file.
I am using the cm7 rom on my kindle fire. The one that whistlestop posted. I am trying to use an app from the Android market. I can download it to my fire but when I open it I get the message that it is not supported on this device. I know I read that it is not supported on tablets, but I was curious if I can "disguise" my tablet to look like an Android phone that is supported by the app. Thanks.

Which app are you trying to install? Have you tried getting the APK for it and manually installing it?
It is AppRedeem. On the info page the app says it does not currently support Android tablets but I wasnt sure if I could make my fire appear to be an Android phone so it will work. I have downloaded it from the market and I have also manually installed via adb with the apk but when I open the app it tells me it is not supported on my device.

Well I did some editing on my prop and manage to get my device to appear as a Samsung phone in the market but still no luck with getting the app to see my fire as a phone.

When I go to the Market it says it is compatible with the Kindle Fire both in stock and ICS. Just thought you might find that interesting.
app
Have you tried cm7 or miui? Both are phone roms tweaked a bit for phones and could possibly solve the problem. I think that the problem isn't making your kindle look like a phone because that would only allow you to download the app which you already did. Good luck
There is thread about getting apps to work on the ICS roms. I was gonna do some editing to see if I can get whatsapp to run on cm7. Same thing, tablets not supported.

Disregard that editing nonsense. Another thread specifically about whatsapp said to backup the app on a running phone with titanium backup and then send the three backed up files to the fire and restore app+ data. Worked perfectly.

Thanks guyute74. I dont have an android phone so I cant do it myself. If anyone with an android phone and titanium wanted to back it up and send me the files I would really appreciate it. Shoot me a pm and I can give you my email.

Within the last week I have been on vacation in Minnesota and my Dad has a Kindle Fire HD...after seeing how horrible the Amazon Homescreen is and all that can be done to help improve the device I decided to write an application that would help users perform general tasks on the Kindle Fire HD after rooting it that would make their experience better.
I have yet to test this on anything but the Kindle Fire HD. I know this will not work on the original Kindle Fire, but 2nd generation on up may be able to use this as well but I have not tested it as I don't have one of these devices.
I made two version, a free and a pro version. The free version will allow you to install a custom launcher and the Android market. Beyond that I'm asking for ~1.00 for the pro version (Well I get $1.00 anyways after Googles cut) to help development and buy me some StarBucks
Tip: long press on items to remove them from your device.
Here are the links to both in the Android market:
Pro - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.stericson.KindleFree_License
Free - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.stericson.KindleFree (I just published this one so it may not be up yet...)
I've also attached the free one as well.
Please let me know what you guys think and if you want to see more added to this.
works perfectly
thanks!
No problem, glad it helped

Thanks Stephen. Excellent work. Might I suggest a couple of things?
1. An undo option for launchers and the miscellaneous stuff.
2. Reminder that if installing an alternate launcher, kindle books will no longer work.
3. A warning against updating any of the Amazon apps in google play store.
Just some ideas.

Something,not sure what, broke the built in kindle book store. Movies and music work but the book store hangs. Any ideas?
Factory reset fixed it.

Stericson, I've already done all this and have no need for the app - but you hit it out of the park! You got a PayPal donate page?
Hey guys,
Sorry I was travelling yesterday back home.
So, I do have paypal Stericson.g1 AT Gmail (email)

1. An undo option for launchers and the miscellaneous stuff.
-- Long press on an item to undo it
2. Reminder that if installing an alternate launcher, kindle books will no longer work.
-- I will add that, I wasn't aware that this happens, is this normal when replacing the launcher? Like does this happen if done manually?
3. A warning against updating any of the Amazon apps in google play store.
-- What should the warning say?

When you replace the launcher it breaks the kindle book app. You can install the play store version but you lose the built in book store. If you update the Kindle mobile app it breaks the Amazon store search. This is on the 8.9 BTW.

The Amazon Apps are designated for otter. Which I assume is the device codename. The play store versions don't cooperate with the fire framework.
Do not update amazon books,music,shop or it will mess up compatibility! my idea for update warning

aka if you accidentally update the apps you can go into system apps and reinstall them

Thanks for the comments guys, I made some updates and uploaded the new version.
I bought the paid version even though I didn't need it (pretty much have Google and Nova fully installed already), but I'm looking forward to more options.
Just a suggestion, but maybe you could add more Google apps to it, like Google+? The Play Store pretends that Google+ isn't compatible so it won't allow you to download it, but it side loads just fine. There's a lot of apps like that, unfortunately, so maybe a build prop edit shortcuts could also be added, like one to mimic a more universally accepted tablet and one to quickly return to Kindle Fire HD for stubborn apps. These would obviously be for the paid version.
Also for the paid version, maybe you could add the voice search framework and apps too.
There's a ton of potential for this app, thanks for putting it together!

Best two dollars. Thanks! Saved me loads of time! Can't wait for you to expand the selection our Fire HD's can do!

Worked for me too.
Is there maybe another link? Keep in mind that I'm on 3.2.5. I even tried to side load it. I've emailed the devs and didn't get a response. I'm not a newb to Android, but Kindle is proprietary.
If somebody could tell me that they can download the file, either on a PC or on the Kindle, then I'll have to email the devs again. Any help would be much appreciated. I've had the Kindle for almost 3 weeks now. Again, I'm on 14.3.2.5.

Will Kindle updates break root? My last update was to 3.2.4 back in July. If I turn on wireless and let it update can I maybe run this again to regain root, or will it not be lost?

I would like to know that too. I'm on 3.2.5 though and not getting much feedback. I would rather not rollback. But I really want root. As I said, I do like the Fire OS. So just want to root it and play around with it for a while. It is better than my N10. But I need Google apps and to get rid of the proprietary stuff so I can do my tech stuff on the fly. I use my phone or laptop. They aren't always convenient. The Kindle seems perfect for what I do. 3 weeks I've had it and still no root. Amazon apps are usually older and they don't have a lot that I need
I have a 8.9 hdx and I just rooted and installed google play today. I am also on the same software version as you. I used towel root.

Did you make sure that you allowed apps from uknown sources in your device preferences? To date I've successfully used it on a Kindle 8.9 HDX and a Samsung Galaxy 3.
Yes. I didn't end up with root. Thanks
Meant did end up with root.
