The kindle fire launcher opens then closes, is there a way to fix? It's probably a honeycomb thing...

Can you give a little more detail on the problem? What error does the logcat spit out?
Same here. The APK for the Kindle Fire crashes whenever started. If anyone's found a fix for this, I'd love to hear it. Doubt I'd run it long, but I'd definitely give it a twirl.

So, those of you in the NYC area who use Optimum/Cablevision as their ISP may have received an email to download the Optimum App for Kindle Fire which allows you to stream live TV onto your Kindle if you're connected to your home WiFi. They've had apps like this on iOS for a while and they FINALLY released an app for the Kindle Fire.
I managed to download the apk off my sister's Kindle Fire, and it installs fine on the Xoom (ICS stock, rooted). Of course, it asks for root access which you MUST deny, otherwise it won't let you stream. But then as soon as you authenticate into the app, you get a notice that says "Device not supported."
I imagine there must be a way to spoof the app into thinking it's on a kindle fire. Any ideas? I'm happy to share the apk: http://goo.gl/SfLKz
Thanks!

I hope so. I have a nexus 7 and it will be awesome to have this app.
I wouldn't mind trying but wouldn't even know what the correct settings would be nor where to implement them. If you have any suggestions or insights, I'm happy to give it a shot...

Kindle fire hd new update 7.2.2. Is faster ?
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium
Faster? Äh i think no. Its the same
UI feels more responsive. And apps appear to load faster. Not scientific but just observation.
I agree, it's made me go back to the middle ui, I had signed launchers because, the yup was more laggy than original kindle fire. It is quicker and smoother.

I feels it's consume more battery
I hadn't noticed any difference with the new update.
In my opinion, the impression that the device works faster with 7.2.2 is just caused by the reboot during the update process.

i dont think so
i dont think that new update is fast ...
rather this update unrooted my kfhd
did rooting again

Mine runs much smoother after installing "App Cache Cleaner by INFOLITE" from the Amazon app store. I use it on all my Android devices but wasn't aware it was available for my unrooted KFHD until yesterday.

Which version & how?
I tried the latest 1.02 but got a XAPK file validation error upon running it even after copying in the data file it downloads.
Thanks
It doesn't work on my Kindle Fire HD 7". Could you share your what firmware version you are on. Not sure why its not working I am on 7.2.1
Works on my nexus 7 gone try it onmy hd
Sent from my Nexus 7 using XDA Premium HD app
I can get it to load just fine.. but once i get into the game the graphics are all screwy. I can see lights and other things through walls. If i looks the wrong way water clips through roads etc. I dont know what the hell is wrong. If anyone has any pointers.. please let me know.
GTA3 works just fine along with all other games I have tried. This is quite a strange issue.
Game crashes on my 7" Fire HD as soon as you're able to move around. The screen goes blank and the device requires a reboot.

Same thing happens to me, just turn down the draw distance to around 20% and it'll work. Won't look as good as it should but at least you won't have the horrible clipping issues

drugfreejonnyxxx,
Yes Swype is a preinstalled application on the Kindle Fire 2 and HD. You can use Swype
just like the aftermarket version of Swype. Just Swype the word, it works!
Hi peeps
quick question.... if I remove silk entirely (cause I hate it and don't really want 2 launchers installed) will more apps in the Google store be more compatible? or is that just the way the kindle is made?

Silk isn't a launcher
Yes, there are plenty of launchers and browsers available
Sent from my Amazon Kindle Fire HD using xda app-developers app
Hmmm.... obviously silk isn't what I meant then.... I wand to remove the original kindle software to stock vanilla android.... there are a few apps which at the moment if I search the google play store and they're either not there or don't work and then have to use the amazon Appstore to get a working version... would removing all the amazon launcher stuff make those apps work/available? Or would it not make any difference?
To clarify: Silk is the web browser.
And back to the issue at hand, if you want vanilla android, CyanogenMod is the closest you will ever get.

I don't think it has anything to do with the Amazon apps. I think I read somewhere that it has something to do with the build.prop (which isn't something to go messing with).
If you want to see those incompatible apps in the Play Store, use this app here: http://www.androidpolice.com/2013/0...ps-without-changing-the-build-prop-root-only/
