My fire is rooted but I never registered it. Is registering just for using the amazon market and what not? Do I just leave it unregistered?
Yes, registering the Kindle Fire gives you access to the Amazon AppStore, Amazon Prime, Amazon Bookstore, Amazon Newsstand, etc.
You can register it if you want but if you don't use the Amazon Services it's not necessary.

Here the apk http://www.mediafire.com/?iu3mpcbdzrwbdez
It doesn't work on my Fire with ICS, just shows blank pages.
Chrome needs to take advantage of the hardware acceleration features, which is not enable in ICS for Kindle yet.
thank you very much
I'm sad. I would love Chrome on my many non ICS Android devices.

How did you get the app to show up? I copied the apk to system/apps, but it doesn't show up on my KF 2nd gen. Play Store and Youtube work fine. Firefox crashes, so currently I have no browser...
Flash the AOSP jb ROM n u get chrome to work. It's working on mine flawlessly.

Well I'm thinking of rooting my kindle but I wanted to know what will happen to the books i bought on Amazon?

Nothing... If you root it and install a custom ROM like cyanogenmod then they will still be in the cloud. You amazon book/movies/MP3 files will never go anywhere.
Also, it should be noted that you can still read those books using the Kindle app. You can't use the same reader that the Fire uses as it is a modified version(it's also better than the normal app).
But just download the Kindle app, sign in, and your books should all be available there.

Need a build prop that is compatible to run order and chaos for the fire running CM9. Any help would be appreciated

Any time I had issue with getting an app to work. I'd buy it off my GSII or Amaze. Then back up the APK and push it to my Mytouch 4G Slide. You bought it, so there's nothing wroung with pushing it to another device. As long as its yours.
::HTC Doubleshot:: Virt. Inq v2.
I had to uninstall Hellfire CM7 and ReloadedROM CM9 because neither one allows me to install any of the "Kindle Fire Edition" games that i bought off amazon store.
In addition, most of the games don't show up in google play store either. My phone can't download them as it says not compatible either so I have no way to officially download the games that I bought.
I think we have to use MODACO ROM for now. It is the only usable ROM if you want to watch movies, use Play music and play the games for Kindle Fire without frustration. No CM7 or CM9 that I have tried can do any of this as well as MODACO.
If anyone can come up with a way for the games to work please let us know it would make those great ROMS worth using. I know the HWA will be solved soon with the new kernel, so maybe that would fix most trouble?
Idk I love the ics cm9 Roms just need to games to follow Me there.... that's what's holding me back

What you're trying to do is not feasible.
I want to transfer over my apps from my apple store to the Kindle fire HD is it possible? If so, how?
Since that's not an option can I use the google play with the kindle fired HD instead?
That's not a possible task. Two different OS/platforms... different code... no way to do it. You get what you can get from amazon app store.

I'm sorry bro its not possible. Just enjoy your sweet tablet with your other half. sorry
Yes on PLAYSTORE.
Apple Sync
This is a good question. Since Apple uses a BSD Kernel and quite a bit of proprietary layers over the Kernel, it just not possible to "Sync" the applications to Android ICS (Kindle 7" HD 7.2.3).
Now if you would like to Sync Music, Movies, Podcast, etc you may purchase an application for the Kindle named DoubleTwist.
Email, Contacts, Calendar, Task Lists etc can be done through IMAP4
Ok cool, thanks

DenusAndre,
Once you root the Kindle, then install Google Play Store, the doors open wide. You will save lot's of $$ over
Amazon App Store. It is not to say the Amazon App Store has nothing to offer, it does. We have found that
overall, the Google Play Store offers more to the end user. Thank you for taking the time to post your
comments.:good:
