[Q] Kindle apk request - Kindle Fire General

I accidentally replaced the contacts apk's on my Kindle Fire with the apk's from my Android phone (thinking it would import my full contacts instead of just the name and phone number) and now my contacts don't work and googleservicesframework keeps force closing...I know, I should have made a backup first. Dumb. I'm still learning.
If anyone has the Kindle: accountandsyscsettings.apk and .odex,contactsprovider.apk and odex I would appreciate it very very much. Thanks.

Just download the update.zip from the Amazon site and pull the files from it.

OH MAN do I feel dumb. Thanks! That worked perfectly. I always do this kinds thing when I first root a device. I need to be more careful with system apps.

This is probably a little off topic Airmaxx23....
...but how do I get my kindle reader back. I am on CM7 and was wondering if there is a way to access books as I would on stock?

Yeah, download the zip update from amazon, unarchive it, and put the launcher on your kindle.

Just use the Kindle app from the Android Market.

I use the app from the market and honestly I think its better than the original one that came with the kindle.

A Crackle, Hulu+, Netflix and HBO Go tutorial?

I have a request. Can someone please guide me on how to make hulu+, Netflix, HBO go, and crackle work on the nook color? I can't even download them from the market; they don't appear. If I try to browse the market on PC, it says that they're incompatible on the nook. Please help me out. Or at least point me to the right direction.

You need to download the .apks online and then sideload them.

Is Netflix still working on the NC?
Ok, I'm a noob....how do you "sideload"?
I read HBO Go and Netflix won't work on the nook. ??

netflix works, you just have to get the latest, official apk from somewhere. Working right now on my Nook Color. I couldn't be happier with the device since I moved back to CM7 (nightly), and recalibrated the screen

Download to your phone/other working device
Copy the .apk from that device to your PC
Copy it from your PC to your Nook
Install on Nook
The easiest way to get a copy of the .apk is to use Titanium Backup to backup the app, which will put it right on your SD card.
EDIT: I should also note, if you have enough USB ports you can just mount the phone and the nook at the same time and copy the .apk directly [ex: Copy from I: to J:]. If you're low on USB ports you'll need to do the steps as listed above.

[Q] android market apps will not download

Hi guys,
I have rooted my kindle fire with burritoroot and i got the market to work with openmarket. I am able to log in successfully and hit install on several apps. They sit at download starting. I have rebooted several times. Any ideas on a fix. I have also tried the web store and the same result.
Thanks
Update, I have also tried it at work and I am still getting the same problem with the download just sitting at starting download.
Go to applications, and select the market. Then clear Data.
Try it again.

I tried this and still the same result, I also went on my home router and forwarded port 5228 because I read on several sites that is the port that the android market uses.
I use many android devices in the same site without having to forward anything. I doubt that is your issue.

Ok, I was just trying to rule out anything on the my network end while trying to troubleshoot the device.
Would i be able to download apps from the android market on my computer and transfer them to my fire?
I am going to try putting the google talk app on the fire and seeing if i can sign in to see if that fixes the issue. I have read in many places that it fixes it for many android phones.

You may be using an older version of the market. The instrucions say to use vending.apk, but I actually ended up having to use com.amarket.apk. A lot of people were having this issue. Repeat the data/cache wipe after installing the new one.

Yes, or just pull them from your phone. Dropbox is very handy for sideloading apps. Just make sure you have installation of unknown sources enabled under Settings>More>Device

I know there is a lot of stuff to sift through, but creating threads for questions that have answers readily available makes it that much harder to find substantive info.

should i uninstall market opener and vending.apk before i install the the other market app?

Oh ok I was going to suggest turning off the firewall to download but nevermind. Its almost definitely the vending.apk vs com.amarket.apk issue. I had a similar problem. Also, for some reason File Expert would not keep the permissions changed when I changed them. I sideloaded Root Explorer and it worked like a charm. Good luck getting it working.

[Q] dual boot?

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.

[Q] Which version of kindle works?

Guys which version of the kindle app works on this device?
I didn't enjoy Kindle on the Nook. Instead I use Calibre.
Download the kindle book to your pc, add to Calibre, use Apprentice Alf's plug-in to remove the DRM, convert the kindle book to epub and load to nook.
Yes I was doing that but as of late whenever i try and convert a mobi file to epub using calibre the format is all wrong. Have you ever had that issue?

Just rooted and can't load kindle app
Just rooted yesterday and everything appears to be working, added a couple apps but the kindle app will not load. I tried the modified one mentioned above but that will not finish installing. What can I check to see why the kindle app will not load?
Thanks

I don't know the answer but you should say whether you have regular or glow, the firmware version, and what root process you used.

First time doing this so I think the answers are it's a regular simple touch, software v1.1.0, touchnooter-2-1-31.img via lifehack link: lifehacker.com/5889158/turn-a-99-nook-into-a-fully-fledged-android-tablet-in-four-easy-steps which referenced this site.

Can you be more specific about 'didnt finish installing'
What exactly is or isn't happening on the nook.
Also do other apps install? Or is it just the kindle app?
Personally, I didn't enjoy the kindle app on the nook and use calibre to convert the books to epub

Missing Features from CM10.2

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.

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/).
