Hello,
When I try and launch the dictionary within Kindle app (long press on a word) I am told to install a dictionary. It always fails at the same place. Is it possible to install the dictionary for the Kindle app?
Thank you!

So hello guys. Before say anything , I have to say this first.
My English is not good, or should I say, terrible ! So if you see anything wrong with the grammar , I'm truly sorry for my Bad english.
So ok, Let's get straight to the point.
- I'm having A Kindle Fire, the FW is 6.2.2 and I have rooted it.
- I'm using the Go Launcher Ex and when I tried to use Amazon Kindle Apps ( To read books ) , I just couldn't launch it so .... I tried to replace it with the Amazon Kindle from the Google Market.
After I downloaded and installed it, I CAN open the apps now, but I couldn't connect to Amazon Sever ( or as It said ) , so does my Amazone Appstore ( I mean the one that Amazon put in first ). And I couldn't register my Kindle Fire either
- After that **** , I tried to " Reset to Factory Defaults " but It still the same...
So guys, any advice ? And well, I also want to know that can I use any other launcher beside Go Launcher Ex ( Like the Launcher Pro ? I installed it but It keep Force Close ).
Thanks in advance , and sorry for my Bad English.
If you want to try another luncher, maybe try other ROM for KF. CM7 have ADW, ICS have pretty stock luncher too
For CM7 go

ICS is still in alpha build so I cant recomend it to you.
About Registration - Try to unroot device before attempting to log in to amazon.
Root KF should not block connecting Kindle Reader to the Amazon server. I can connect to Amazon download and read all my books same like prior to rooted. Now my KF is run on ICS still has no issue with Kindle Reader. May be, you register you device to the wrong account, try check it again.
easy fix - uninstall the amazon reader app
I had the same problem after rooting I installed a ton of new software, and the amazon standard services (books, movies etc) all stopped working and the content was "missing". It was still on the device but did not show.
I restored factory defaults (from Kindle Fire settings menu), re-rooted and re-installed software more carefully.
For me it turned out the Amazon reader app was the culprit. I removed it and everything worked and is working fine. So you don't need to reset and re-root - just remove the app.
Assuming you loaded this software for a reason but you don't need it. If you are side-loading books into the device and you want them to show up in your "Books" tab, then you just need to use Calibre software on your computer to change the metadata of the e-book file from PDOC to EBOK

The Kindle App on Kindle Fire poses problems of data corruption for normal users at times. The solution is this:
===
Make sure WiFi is 'ON' when doing this)
Go to the Gear wheel at top right when at Home Screen
Then click on:
. More,
. Settings,
. Applications
... (choosing ALL applications to view),
Select 'Amazon Kindle' and then
. Click to clear DATA (which clears the cache at the same time)
Press Home at bottom left
SIT BACK as it all returns to The Way It Was.
No restart needed. No need to remove the app.
===
Not sure that would work for your situation but it's a real possibility.
I will say a couple of things that annoy me that people are saying about the kindle fire.Also some tips.
1.you dont need an external app to install apk files.When the apk is done downloading click the notifications,then the "download complete" notification.
2.you don't need an external app to change the input meathod.go to the kindle browser,click on the url, then hold down on the second bar that pops up and input meathod should be their.(You still need to install it a special way)
3.(for stupid people) you don't need root to install external applications(heard from youtube)
Wow the word "external" is used a lot
4.you can get swype from http://www.swype.com/category/get-swype/
5.It does not suck after you get root.
6.don't mod the framework-res file, or you will die unless you have TWRP or CWM touch.
7.the triangle of doom after installing TWRP is common. Click here for a fix: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1543121
Does the fire support swiftkey x tablet?
Also How do I enable swype. I have it installed and everything I just can enable it.
EDIT: Got it all figured out. Its not a hard task but yo make it seems like you can install keyboards the normal android way and you can't. People like you create these misconceptions.

Hey, I wasnt trying to say you can install it the normal way, I was trying to say you can switch keyboards the normal way.sorry about the confusion though. We are all family at XDA.
I'm starting this thread so we can share ways to De-Amazon our kindle fire hd 7's and make them more Android like. Please post ways to remove as much of Amazon's stuff as we can. Including freezing apps, removing them, replacing them, build.prop tweaks, and really just anything we can safely do to our androkindles. I hope this will help us all have a more custom experience until custom rom's come out. My intention is for us to brainstorm so post what you want!
Root and Google Play for Amazon 7" Kindle Fire HD Software Version 7.2.3
Great idea, I will start with the basics:
1) Root Kindle: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2045999&page=5
2) Install Google Play: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2045999&page=5
3) Disable the Amazon OTA Updates, delete or move /system/ect/security/otacerts.zip to /sdcard/download - Reboot the Kindle.
4) Google Play to be the default Market move /system/app/MarketIntentProxy.apk to /sdcard/download - Reboot the Kindle
5) Disable lock screen ads. Rename /system/app/dtcp_apk.apk to dtcp_apk.apk.bak
(btw, I recommend using the rename method for other tricks as well; that way you don't need to remember where things go if you ever need to restore them.)
Facelift
6) Give the Kindle a facelift. Using Google Play, download and install Go Launcher HD.
Once installed, launch the new launcher through Apps, then click on the Kindle "Home" button to make Go Launcher HD your new default launcher.
Hey guys,
today I upgraded to zui 2.5 - currently I'm not rooted.
I downloaded Swiftkey for typing in German. However, every word is underlined in red - because I'm not typing in system language (English) I reckon...
I tried to disable dictionary in GBoard and AOSP Keyboard but without success... Also, I tried to uninstall the dictionary apk (which would solve the problem) - also unsuccessful because I need root to do this.
Is there any other option to disable dictionary except through rooting?
Thanks a lot!
I've tried several different ways. Only MoreLocale2 seems to work. No root required.
Download app MoreLocale2 from playstore.
and adb drivers, zuk drivers on your PC.
zuk-driver
https://www.androidusbdrivers.com/go/latest-usb-driver-windows/
adb-driver
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2588979
then after adb devices are listed and autorized, type
adb shell pm grant jp.co.c_lis.ccl.morelocale android.permission.CHANGE_CONFIGURATION
then, in app, change to new locale, and almost the entire phone will be in your locale ... also the dictionary
cheers
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???
