[Q] How to get Amazon (kindle fire apps) to work on Cm7 or Miui?

I bought the game order & chaos kindle fire edition and I want to download the game from the amazon app store with cm7 or miui flashed on my kindle fire. Is it possible to trick the amazon app store into thinking I am running stock by changing the Build.Prop or anything? Or does anyone have a fix so I can download my (kindle fire edition) apps?
I have also read a few things that I would have to download the game then back it up with titanium, but some people say that even doing that method, gameloft games dont work.
Thanks I appreciate any help you may have.

don't think that will be possible with an other rom than stock
if you fake the fingerprint in build.prop you'r still not registered with amazon
the only possibillity i see is to flash back to stock (the prerooted image from here !!!), register, download the games and copy the apk to a save place.
if the games will work i don't know but you have them and can go further

you could try downloading them and then backing them up with titanium backup
Sent from my Kindle Fire using xda premium

I was able to back up the game, and I then restored it on cm7.
It loads the game and then needs to download 6 mb of additional data.
After finishing the download the game restarts and keeps force closing.
The only other thing I can think of is to change the build.prop back to original stock while still using cm7.
Or I wonder if the android market version would work, but I really dont want to to buy it again..!

Android Market version works fine on CM7... I used this thread for build.prop modifications.

I’m with you on this; purchased a bunch of Gameloft games during the $1 sale on the Android Market with the expectation that once I got my Kindle I would be able to play them on a Tablet as I can’t play games on my phone. After I got the Market and found out they did not show in the market or be side loaded went and purchased the Kindle additions. Have since flashed CM7 and was able to download the majority of the games from the Android Market after using the CM7 Build.Prop tweak that has been floating around but still have 2 of 8 games that after downloading additional data will tell me that I should ask for a refund because my device is not compatible. Otherwise the Build.Prop floating around for cm7 worked out.

I haz idea
could someone back theirs up and post apk link?

Kindle app won't update and crashes often (Fire HD 10 2017 rooted)

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???

Install from Play Store to Kindle Fire from PC

I've got a Kindle Fire HD8 and installed the Play Store on it and it works great but is there a way to make the device show up when trying to install something from my PC web browser to the device?

Usually not as the full Google framework is not installed using the methods outlined for unrooted devices.

So if I root my kindle I can get it to work?

Probably not as FireOS is not friendly to a full GAaps install. You'd need to go with a custom ROM which may or may not play nice with Google Play. Bottom line: assume browser/desktop Play Store visablity a bonus when targeting a hacked Fire device.

Fire 7 Gen 12 install android OS?

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
