When ever I restart my rooted kindle fire hd, I have to reinstall it because it disappears from my device.
Any idea on how to get round this?

If you have installed the Google Play Store it will update Amazon apps including Kindle. Disable the Play Store automatic update.
If what he said is correct I think this is easy to fix so someone please correct me if I am wrong. Anyway if i am wrong this shouldn't hurt anything because the file im going to mention won't exist. Last time I checked if there's something on a read only system partition, Google installs the update to /data/app, so I would guess if you browse to there in something like es file explorer with root explorer enabled, you should be able to delete the new version being referenced from the data/app folder and it would revert to running the one in the system folder. I don't have stock kindle os so idk the name but if u find the icon for the kindle app in the /data/app folder try deleting it or moving it to the sdcard and rebooting. If I am totally off that file won't exist in the data/app folder. If anyone knows if what I just said is correct please feel free to post so.

how do i remove blockbuster? etc? do i have to root?
sorry for asking dumb question. i am new to android and a new verzion customer
IF you've rooted your phone, then the easiest way is to buy Root Explorer (trust me it's worth the couple bucks) and navigate to /system/app and find blockbuster.apk or whatever it's called. Click mount r/w and longpress, then delete it. Or rename it to .bak instead of .apk
There is another way to do it using ADB, but if you're new to Android it's probably a bit more complicated than buying the app. If you wanna know how to do it on adb just let me know.
edit: Also, welcome to the Android side.
lol thanks....
i think i already rooted. im using DroidXRoot to rooted the driod x. i just install root explorer and its not working.
blockbuster.apk cannot be renamed because the file system is read-only.
Do you guys know where the files for the bloatware 3G Hotspot are? I would prefer to use wifi tether vs the included app.

Hide it then. You don't HAVE to use it.
Also when you get the read only message, as was previously stated, you have to mount it as r/w rather than read only.

3g hotspot is mynet.apk

Press mount r/w in the upper right hand corner or root explorer.

Just watch out what you delete...I wasn't able to update to froyo because it was missing system apps. I ended up having to reinstall the system apps and resetting all of the permissions.
Now I just use LauncherPro to hide stuff. If you are dead set on removing them though, I am sure most of us would recommend only renaming the apk files instead of deleting. While you can definitely reinstall them, it tends to be a pain. Also, I heard that removing some apps would cause a boot loop. Haven't experienced it myself, but something to watch out for I guess.
Use launcher pro to hide as well

I accidentally deleted the Conversations.apk... for future reference how do you reinstall system apps and reset permissions?
Thanks in advance,

Instead of renaming or deleting apps/bloatware, just use "Titanium Backup" donate version and you can freeze apps/bloatware so they don't load up. This way if you want to update the phone later, you don't have to worry about things you deleted that need to be on the phone for the update to work.

This is the tutorial that I used below from android forums
http://androidforums.com/droid-x-al...w-reinstall-system-apps-_as_-system-apps.html
I have an app on my phone that Id like to get on my rooted kindle. It goes along with another app that I was able to find the apk on the net, however I cant find the apk for this app due to it being so out of date (1+ year). How do I go about creating an apk of it from tibu backup on my phone to make it work on the kindle? I tried downloading it to my dropbox, unzipping on my computer, transferring to kindle and installing that way, but it keeps coming back app not installed. Any ideas? also off topic, Im having problems with the xda app on my kindle. anytime I go to type any response or search anything, the keyboard pops up then goes away immediately. Any reason why? TIA for any and all help.
Use AppSaver which can be found in the Market. It copies the APK for all or selected apps to your SDCard location. You can then e-mail or transfer the APK to your fire.

Super Manager has an APK manager which does the same thing, but you can do it on a package by package basis. It will save the filename in the Original package name or what I use, Readable Display Name.
Most of the APK's that I've moved to my KF that I could not load by other means were done via this method.
Even then, some packages simply won't install due to hardware requirements not in the KF, but you can't tell till your try.

That app is pretty cool, but unfortunately it still showed app not installed. Ill use this on another phone, but for kindle it still didn't work. Could it be because the outdatedness of the app?

Not sure... AppSaver has been working great on my Nexus S to grab apps that don't show up on the Fire Android or Amazon Market. Weird that your backed up app doesn't install. Have you tried copying it directly to the Data/app folder and restarting the Kindle (without manually installing from the Data/App folder)?

I had been happy running GO launcher beta, but I was curious about syndicate apps ICS launcher. I downloaded from their site and installed it. It comes up as an option when I hit the home button but it will not load and it does not show up as an app so I can't uninstall it. What do i need to do to get this junk off of my kindle? Manually delete files somewhere?
Go into settings and applications and uninstall it.

Thank you, I'm having a brain fart at the moment Lol.

If you want to try ICS Launcher, install the app. Using Root Explorer, go to data/app and move the apk to system/app folder. Reboot your Kindle and it should work fine.

Modify your build.prop file to get access to more apps or flash a ROM with a pre modified build.prop file. Besides, I would not ask for a banking apk file on a forum. You never know its origin....

I was more asking if anyone had the same issue.
I did modify my build.prop but it had no effect....
I even exported the app from my phone it installed but will not give the option to run on the kindle....
recently noticed i am unable to open the device storage setting on my rooted kfhd7. initially thought it was a bug with go launcher ex as it has a few issues with menu settings in its new update but since trying other launchers including stock i am still unable to select storage settings. anyone else had this issue?
thanks

Make sure you still have /system/app/MediaProvider.apk, that it is not corrupted, and that you have not frozen or disabled "Media Storage" using Titanium Backup or a similar app.
thanks. mediaprovider.apk is still in /system/app and mediastorage looks ok in tit backup. unsure if either are corrupted but size of the apk is 22kb.
Sent from my KFTT using xda app-developers app
You can copy it and rename the apk to .zip then open it... if it opens it is probably not corrupt

was just about to copy it to my computer and can see another file in system/app called mediaprovider.odex.
would this be the cause of the problem? this other file
is 120kb
