Xposed 2.7 (experimental1) on kindle fire build KTU84M (apollo) android version 4.4.3
Hey everyone, I was also looking for some advice and facts when it comes to exposed pn kindlefire..I got root access fairly easy and now I'm trying to convert this tablet to do away with all the Amazon stuff period..I have only installed 1 app so far via exposed..
Proxymon app is the only module that pops up...I'm still looking thru to see wich ones I truly need (downloads)..zip guess my question is I tried to install superuser and do away with king root but i was having some issues..like wich superuser apk and do i really need TWRP and if so do i just get it from the browser..
CAN I INSTALL GOOGLE CHROME SOMEHOW AND MSKE IT MY DEFAULT BROWSER.(without a p.c.?)
Csnt install play services and other Google apks..
THERE WAS A PROBLEM PARSING THE PACKAGE
AND DO I WIPE DATA/CACHE IF I INSTALL SUPERSU VIA ROM INSTALLER..I honestly wasnt to sure on wich version on superuser to use for this version of KITKAT..I've got 2.4 downloaded..not installed yet.

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???
Hello
I have Fire HD 8 (10th generation). I dont want anything Amazon (but only the Kindle App). I used Firetoolbox v17 to deBloat everything out. And installed Google Play Service. Now when I try to install Kindle app from play store, google shows me the enable button (not the install button), which means i will use the one which was already present, and now disabled because of FireToolBox. I don't want to enables it, as it enables few other things at the background.
So, I downloaded the Kindle APK online (from a couple of apk_mirrors) but everytime the installation failed. I assume some part of Amazon framework in the fire OS doesn't let let me install that. It does not show any error but only "installation failed".
Is there a way for me to install a standalone Kindle APK. Or, there is a way to change build.prop in FireOS, and make Amazon servers see my request coming from a standard Android variant and Not FireOS.
Bought a cheap refurb, bricked it to downgrade & install LineageOS 16. Opted not to install any Gapps, no plans to log into a Google account. Instead will be side loading my VPN adb after that's set up then then fully install F-Droid for anything else I need. So the tablet will be air gapped until the VPN is active.
Just curious as to how "invisible" this setup will be on what's essentially a throwaway burner tablet I bought for the fun of the "hack".
Good afternoon,
I recently purchased the fire tablet, not realizing I wouldn't have access to Google play store so I'm looking into dumping fireOS for standard android OS.
I tried installing play service all with no luck so I'm looking at this as my next hope.
Is it possible or am I SOL?
let me know if you find a way to root the device
Not rootable at present - however, you can get quite far by using Windows Fire Toolbox
I'm on linux so pretty much manually installed everything instead but can confirm google play store works and signs in.... i'd suggest using the fire toolbox anyway
