So I have been looking for a way to root my kindle, get the normal android layout and functionality, but be able to switch back to my kindle mode without going through a long process. What should I do to be able to switch between the normal android mode to the kindle mode and vice versa?
What you want to do is Root, install FireFireFire and TWRP recovery. Then install Android Market. You can then install Go Launcher EX and Voodoo OTARootkeeper. You can then switch between the Kindle Fire Launcher and Go Launcher EX(Basic Android style Launcher) and use OTARootkeeper to easily switch temporarily between Root and unRoot to use all of Amazon's services.
This thread seems to be working well to help people from Root through getting the Android Market:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1417234
After that you can look around if you need any help with Go Launcher and OTARootkeeper.
Good Luck!
I confirm with the thread recommended. I did the root video and installing the Android Market to work perfectly. Haven't gone beyond that yet as I personally don't need to.
You don't actually have to root your Kindle to do this. Just download and install GoLauncher EX (You will have to sideload it - I downloaded it to my HTC Inspire, backed it up, synced with my Dell Inspiron, then sideloaded it to the Kindle). Then add a shortcut to the "Launcher" app already on the Kindle so that you can access the Carousel and the other Amazon apps (such as the Bookshelf). Changing the Home option to GoLauncher EX will allow you to switch back and forth between the two launchers. I've been doing this for a couple of weeks with no problem, and can STILL access the original Kindle layout. Alternately, you can add the Kindle Android app as a application on GoLauncher's desktop and it will open the book you are reading with the exact same functionality.
Also, I recommend installing the Dolphin browser to replace Silk. With Dolphin, you can easily access the Android Market without having to root.
Trying to consolidate information I was looking for so it can help others. Please suggest additions and corrections.
What do I lose if I:
Root
- amazon VOD (including free Prime rentals)*
- your warranty (if you brick your Fire)
Install CM7
- everything from Root list
- carousel launcher
- Kindle owners lending library
- Kindle Fire Reader app (must use standard app instead)
- newsstand subscriptions (requires official reader app)
Install CM9
- everything from CM7 list
- netflix
- possible "sleep of death"
The "Silk" browser has been ported to use on non-stock Roms.
Other things I'm not yet sure about: the send-to-kindle program/email address, stability of CM9, etc. A similar list of what is gained by each could also be useful, as long as it is kept brief.
*afaik you can "unroot" at any time to re-allow this (use rootkeeper)
Updated 2/18/12
Silk now has a port that can be installed on other ROMS. Also about the warranty, in most cases, they don't cover if you brick the device but they do cover if the charge port, power button, etc breaks.
Thanks, I updated the OP with your info. :thumbup:
there are many to be listed, lockscreen, amazon market, etc.. is it necessary to create a thread like this?.
Please explain the Kindle Reader part for me. I was able to install KR on Nexus tablet and it shows my cloud books, wouldn't it work on a rooted Fire ?
I want to root Fire so that I could use Google Play and Swype, but it's a wife's device, primarily, and I don't want to screw it up for her. We don't have Prime, mainly getting library books.
Also, how easy is it to reload stock Amazon ROM ?
After rooting you can install OTA Root Keeper and temporarily disable root so you can watch Prime video. If you need root for some reason you just enable it again.
There is also a possibility to dual boot and have stock rom and some other one.

Kindle Fire First Aide Step 13 : The Kindle Fire should automatically turn on and boot regular Bootmode. If the Kindle does not turn on depress the power button until it turns on. Next select Option 15 in the Software. The Kindle will reboot and will now see a screen that says: Fastboot Kindle Fire.
Note: If Option 15 does not trigger the Kindle to boot into Fastboot, then your Bootloader is damaged. Please send SkOrPn a PM to order a Factory USB Cable.
Kindle Fire First Aide Step 14: Place the Kindle on a safe surface so it does not disconnect when running the software.
Kindle Fire First Aide Step 15: Launch the KF First Aide software by double mouse clicking on the KF First Aide icon.

If your Kindle is stuck in Fastboot, please follow these steps to recover the Boot-loader: How To Recover Kindle Fire HD 8.9" Bootloader*
Note: Please be aware of two main options in the Menu - one is Fastboot Mode where you have several Menu Operations that use Fastboot to execute properly and two is ADB Mode where you have several Menu Operations that use ADB to execute properly.
Backup Option #1 Note: When selecting Backup Option 1 the images will be backed up to the SD Card in a folder named KindleBackup. Please copy this folder to your desktop until we are able to upload it to our secure servers. There will be a restore option in the future that will automatically pull YOUR images for restoration.

Backup Option #2 Note: When selecting Backup Option 2 the images are first copied to the Kindle, then they are transfered to your Computer inside a folder named Backup which can be found inside the C:\KFFirstAide folder.

We would like to thank Mark Skippen for the "Toolkit" idea. Mark is a real master with Samsung products and his profile can be found here: mskip anyone who owns a Samsung or Samsung built (Nexus) product should obtain his Toolkit.
*Note: After several conference calls with the Amazon Development Team we found Amazon applied a patch to the Bootloader in an effort to lock down the Bootloader, this patch rarely causes the Bootloader to stick or Bootloop, please use the above link to release the Bootloader. We have removed this patch from the boot-prod.img eliminating future issues with recovered HD 8.9" users.

Krsmqn,
We thought of you when we were developing this package, It took us over 4 months to perfect. We held back many feature, just wait until we release the Production Version of 4.2.3, it even made us smile. As we have said before,
we are truly honored to be part of the XDA Community and feel blessed to be able to offer this software to XDA Members. This package and version 4.2.3 is fee based elsewhere.
LOL, you typed in my user name so many times that I'm afraid if anyone does a Google search for me they will get re-directed to this thread first and foremost
I am honored you feel so highly about my work, really I do. Thanks for all you do as well. Wish I could develop software, but I am a hardware developer myself. Its Devs like you that make me want to own a Kindle, lol :good:
I was born to tinker... so this is definitely for me.
Questions on Version 4.2.3beta:
Does it come with preloaded non-stock launchers?
Will my device be rooted afterwards?
Will google apps be preloaded?
Or is it going to be like out-of-the-box new /with tweaks?
Thanks.

Krsmqn,
As we said, we really did think of you as we were developing the package. I said to my developer, "we have to notify
XDA User Krsmqn as soon as we launch this package...". The current Beta release includes all the 17 features mentioned
above including preinstalled ChainsDD Superuser so it is Rooted. By the time you get the cable, we will have released the
production version 4.2.3 which should include menu options to install: Nova Launcher, Go Launcher, Apex Launcher and
ADW Launcher. We will also have a menu option to install Google Play and Google Apps. In release 4.2.4 we will have
over 40 additional features which will include but not limited to: automated v6 Supercharging, automated build.prop
edits, automated services.jar refinements, automated Deodoxed, Automated Zip-alignment, and much much much more!
Just post what you would like to see immediately in production release 4.2.3 and what you would like to see in future
releases.

SkOrPn,
Yes, true, this is why your name has a redirect to your profile, so if anyone clicks on your name it immediately redirects
to you. Hey SkOrPn you do good work and good work needs to be acknowledged. We are very picky company with the
people we choose to support but once we make that choice we are extremely loyal to the vendor. This software package
is in it's infancy and very raw. We plan to change the code to C# and pack everything into one executable for
portability, so anyone who does field service work can place this app on a thumb drive and launch it from the customer's
site. I love software development since the options here are limitless. Since mskip focuses on the Samsung, we decided
to focus on the Kindle and stay away from his area of expertise. Once this package is polished we will be ready to launch
custom ROM's for the Kindle. Much more to come.................

Done. The request has been added to the software manifest, we will have this feature added before production
version #4.2.3. Thank you for making the feature request.
Making it "noob-friendly" to install new keyboards could be another consideration:. I'm enjoying the so-called "Hacker's Keyboard", but I recall having to jump through firey hoops to install it.

BELASCO,
Like a universal media player, hmmm not a bad idea. Test a few, let me know if you feel VLC is the best. I have used
a few different ones, we will ad this idea as well.
Software
I'd like to see something that allows easily changed wallpaper. Something that allows you to add your own photos. I'm an amateur photographer with several HQ pictures that I'd like to have as wallpapers.
With photo's in mind, some kind of script, or whatever, that would allow you to customize and add pictures in the stock locker. I like the stock locker so I kept it. I just wish I could add a whole bunch of personal photos to it.
One more thing. When the DPI is lowered, the normal android lock screen returns but it has a black background. I have my DPI set at 180 and the black lock screen is still there. I like that locker too but wouldn't want to keep it w/o pictures. Only problem is, I love that look when the DPI is lowered. I really want to keep it at 180. So if there's any way to add the ability to add photos to the locker when the DPI is set below whatever the change point is, that'd be sweet.
Thanks.
P.S. per the media player idea, I like Pro Player. Just an idea.

Another wonderful idea. It is funny Krsmqn, we are working on the software at the moment and guess what feature we
are testing? The wallpaper idea! Yes, this feature will be included in future releases. I will look at the 180 dpi, I do
not see a problem with this integration. I will also look at Pro Player, I think this is the player we use on our Nexus
10.
This app might handle backgrounds for you. The lockscreen pix I've seen some posts on, but haven't seriously investigated.

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???
