Thats the android market - i want the Amazon market that comes with the fire

Go to Amazon.com link below and enter your e-mail address in the 'Getting Started' box. It will e-mail you the Amazon AppStore APK.

Get your books via the Kindle App located in the Android market or Amazon AppStore.

Thanks terracode your awesome lol! I hate that Amazon wont let me get any of the '(Kindle Version)'s I bought :/ any workaround? Before I flashed cm7 i anticipated this happening and looked for an app that would let me back up my purchased apps without luck, i found some app that did app2sd but i couldnt figure out how to use it

I flashed the jelly bean eye candy rom on my wife's who reads every day on her kf. She likes that rom. Actually its the only rom she has really liked and I have tried several different roms . She can still get her books from amazon on it

KindleFree (Free your kindle)

Within the last week I have been on vacation in Minnesota and my Dad has a Kindle Fire HD...after seeing how horrible the Amazon Homescreen is and all that can be done to help improve the device I decided to write an application that would help users perform general tasks on the Kindle Fire HD after rooting it that would make their experience better.
I have yet to test this on anything but the Kindle Fire HD. I know this will not work on the original Kindle Fire, but 2nd generation on up may be able to use this as well but I have not tested it as I don't have one of these devices.
I made two version, a free and a pro version. The free version will allow you to install a custom launcher and the Android market. Beyond that I'm asking for ~1.00 for the pro version (Well I get $1.00 anyways after Googles cut) to help development and buy me some StarBucks
Tip: long press on items to remove them from your device.
Here are the links to both in the Android market:

Free - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.stericson.KindleFree (I just published this one so it may not be up yet...)
I've also attached the free one as well.
Please let me know what you guys think and if you want to see more added to this.

works perfectly
thanks!

No problem, glad it helped

Thanks Stephen. Excellent work. Might I suggest a couple of things?
1. An undo option for launchers and the miscellaneous stuff.
2. Reminder that if installing an alternate launcher, kindle books will no longer work.
3. A warning against updating any of the Amazon apps in google play store.
Just some ideas.

Something,not sure what, broke the built in kindle book store. Movies and music work but the book store hangs. Any ideas?

Factory reset fixed it.

Stericson, I've already done all this and have no need for the app - but you hit it out of the park! You got a PayPal donate page?

Hey guys,
Sorry I was travelling yesterday back home.
So, I do have paypal Stericson.g1 AT Gmail (email)

1. An undo option for launchers and the miscellaneous stuff.
-- Long press on an item to undo it
2. Reminder that if installing an alternate launcher, kindle books will no longer work.
-- I will add that, I wasn't aware that this happens, is this normal when replacing the launcher? Like does this happen if done manually?
3. A warning against updating any of the Amazon apps in google play store.
-- What should the warning say?

When you replace the launcher it breaks the kindle book app. You can install the play store version but you lose the built in book store. If you update the Kindle mobile app it breaks the Amazon store search. This is on the 8.9 BTW.

The Amazon Apps are designated for otter. Which I assume is the device codename. The play store versions don't cooperate with the fire framework.

Do not update amazon books,music,shop or it will mess up compatibility! my idea for update warning

aka if you accidentally update the apps you can go into system apps and reinstall them

Thanks for the comments guys, I made some updates and uploaded the new version.

I bought the paid version even though I didn't need it (pretty much have Google and Nova fully installed already), but I'm looking forward to more options.
Just a suggestion, but maybe you could add more Google apps to it, like Google+? The Play Store pretends that Google+ isn't compatible so it won't allow you to download it, but it side loads just fine. There's a lot of apps like that, unfortunately, so maybe a build prop edit shortcuts could also be added, like one to mimic a more universally accepted tablet and one to quickly return to Kindle Fire HD for stubborn apps. These would obviously be for the paid version.
Also for the paid version, maybe you could add the voice search framework and apps too.
There's a ton of potential for this app, thanks for putting it together!

Best two dollars. Thanks! Saved me loads of time! Can't wait for you to expand the selection our Fire HD's can do!

Can anyone confirm this? My mum has a KF2 which I don't want to destroy but would love to have this.

"The free version will allow you to install Android market" ... but you have to download it from the market? How, if market isn't installed?

It is a free app. If you search nubeox player in Google and click on Google play store it would ask you to open in the tablet. I think you only will be amenable to download if you live in spain

launchers

Thanks to all the help I've received, I was finally able to root my KFHD, installed bootloader and TWRP and went as far as flashed Chameleon. After having trying this out for a couple of days, I'm thinking of experimenting with other things. If I want to install say, AWD or Go launchers, I wou ld need to wipe through TWRP correct? I can't simply put the apk files in the sdcard and install, correct?

If you flashed chameleon, shouldn't you have flashed gapps as well so you could simply install those launchers from Google play so you don't need to side load them?

Hi Stunts, yes I do have Gapps. I guess I'm just confused as to whether Chameleon is the "OS" or is it considered a launcher. I didn't want to overwrite Chameleon by accident and brick my KFHD.

I haven't used chameleon before, but its the os, and if it is also a launcher it wouldn't break anything, you are given the choice what launcher you want to use. One doesn't overwrite the other.

Go launcher is neat but your info is getting sent to servers in China. No way I will use it.

I use the HD version, never knew that. Is it just simple ad related data? I typically have ad block running in the background so I never see ads.

I got to wondering and did some checking into it. There is a great thread on XDA about it. Even with droid wall and the sand box it make me uneasy.
