I searched for an answer to this but didn't find it.
I have a Kindle fire with over $100 of apps. Whta happens if I install CM7 or 9? Will I still own them and be able to download? Thanks
If you install the amazon app store in cm and login with the same account, then you will be able to redownload all of the apps you purchased. With no charge

To add to that, you can have the appstore on multiple devices with no additional charge. For example I have it on my phone and my kindle.

Hi,
All I've done so far is install free apps. What happens if I buy an app and install it on my current tablet, but then at some point sell the tablet for a newer tablet? Can I re-install the already-paid-for app if I use the original google account used to purchase it?
There doesn't seem to be a function to download the apps and save them as an install file, so you can back it up.
If anyone's had any experience with Amazon App store, how do they handle this? For Amazon, you're using your Amazon account, so it doesn't matter what google ID is used on the Android right?
If I have two tablets, is it possible to paid for program and install it on both tablets? Either with google app store or amazon's app store?

Answer to both is yes, at least for the Android Market anyway - I've never used Amazon's app store.

If you have rooted your TF you can install Titanium Backup and use this to backup any apps already installed, including their data.

Android Apps from the Market are all handled by the users email account and not per device. As long as you link your new device to your gmail (or other) account then it should sync with that device (I think).
Had no dealings with Amazon Market so I cant comment on that sorry.
Mark.
Android Market: Just log in with your Google credentials and you can redownload the apps.
Amazon: Same thing. You'll just have to verify its device one time via email or something.
I use Android Market & Amazon App store on both my my Nexus S & TF101. No problems.
But yes, I totally agree with Titanium Backup. It'll make things easier! Especially with game saves.
I run my family's fleet of android devices and can confirm that you can install Purchased Apps from the Android Market on as many devices as you want at once as long as the MAIN Google account is the same. I havent been able to test yet but it appears that Honeycomb now allows multiple accounts inside of the Android Market and I would assume that you could then install purchased apps from a secondary Google account now as well.
As for the Amazon Market, you can install Purchased Apps on as many devices as you'd like as long as the same account info is used. I use the Amazon Market to install purchased apps on all of the devices I manage because it allows me to do so without having to give access to my contacts, emails, and other items that a Google Account would sync.
I installed Appbrain on my Kindle Fire. I can execute and sync with the Market but when I am trying to update something I am getting the following error message: "could not find that app in the amazon appstore for android at this time"
Why it tries to access the Amazon appstore, I want to sync with the Android Market. Any idea?

Any requests by apps/webpages to the Android Market get re-rerouted to the Amazon App Store automatically.
So when an app asks for an update and tries to contact the Android Market, the Kindle Fire automatically redirects it to search the Amazon App store instead, since the Kindle Fire was never intended to use the Android Market.

Any chance I can hack it not to be redirected? I guess somewhere it is hardcoded.

its has to be hard coded somewhere... no chance really until the custom ROMs come out.

You can stop this behavior by removing MarketIntentProxy.apk in /System/Apps/ by either deleting it with ADB or a file manager or freeze the app with TitaniumBackup. You must be root to do this and may need to restart for it to take effect.

Or renamed it
Sent from my Kindle Fire using xda premium
I just gave this a try... I renamed it instead of removing it at first.
I did reboot the device after making the change just to be sure. After the reboot, I first made sure that the normal Amazon stuff still worked. Used temp unroot, used Amazon live, turned root back on, went to the amazon market, got an app, removed the app...
then I went to android market, and then tried an app that has a purchase option that always failed because instead of going to Android market it would always go to the Amazon market instead... Worked!
I most likely will rename it and freeze it with TB...
I've got a rooted kindle fire hd and have the Google play store installed. I'm trying to get the big ten 2 go app installed. When I try to install from the Google play store it say my device isn't compatible. Does anybody have any advice?

Some apps really are not comparable. You can download Play Store APK's to your computer with a little work and side load them to your tablet. Do so at your own risk http://www.androidpit.com/how-to-download-apk-file-from-google-play
Hi,
i tried to install today Aptoide on my new Fire TV, and it works.
So now i have currently setup Watchever, Napster and Chrome on the Box.
A further effect is, there is an update for the App-Shop from Amazon, which deleted the App Overview and show all apps.
See the attached images.

Hey, looks nice! What should i do to get that app overview?
Aptoide updates the Appstore and replaces it with one from a phone.
It's a bad idea if you actually use the Appstore because I've had this installed for 1 hour and I still can't find how to install the apps I own, as the library link just brings you back to the main apps window.

Sorry for not being clear:
Aptoide works fine.
The modified App menu on the default fire tv launcher looks like your screenshot.
However, the Amazon AppStore is *REALLY* broken after you allow Aptoide to upgrade the Amazon Appstore.
I've since restored the Amazon AppStore from TiBU so no screenies for me...

Whatever app I try to download from the play store hangs up at download pending and never downloads. Any ideas what I may be doing wrong?

I had the same problem. Mine finally told me I wasn't logged in to my Google account. When I went to Google Settings > Sign in & Security it automatically logged in and play store worked after that.

Anyone having problems updating Kindle bookstore app or audible? My device is not listed on Google playstore. Not sure how to get it listed. I have a Samsung S8 which has updated the kindle app, but I can't do the same on my Kindle HD 8 and 10 after installing Google Playstore. I receive the error message 505 unable to install.

Are you trying to update the app that was installed via Amazon Appstore ? From my understanding you cannot update the apps from amazon which are already preinstalled on your Fire HD.
You first have to deinstall the one from Amazon (if possible and it is not installed as system app) and then install the one from Playstore again.

I had this problem while trying to use google play in the second account on my fire hd. After resetting the device completely and setting up the account as the first one it seems to work now.
Philoxenes, thanks for your reply. I received a couple of Amazon updates which helped, but it seems as though I have the latest app. The one on the Playstore is older at least it seems like it.
I thought about deleting the original app, but thought that I wouldn't be able to replace it since Playstore wasn't cooperating. So, I'm okay with keeping what I have. The updates from Amazon updated the app, although it doesn't have the same functionality as the one that is listed as the update on Playstore.
