Hi everyone,
First of all thanks for the good work and threads. It has helped me a lot to get my Kindle Fire HD rooted and setup the way I want it.
My situation is as follows: I have a rooted Kindle Fire HD (7.2.2.) with access to the Google Play Store but no means to download apps from the Amazon Market due to non-US residency (country not supported by Amazon). While I have been able to get a workaround for any other request/app I wanted, I am now struggling to get 7notes Mazec to work.
7notes is available for Kindle as Premium version which I would love to buy but they would not let me. I tried installing 7Notes for android instead. Got the apk, sideloaded it into system/app folder with File Expert and also tried via Nook Colour tools. I was able to access 7notes as a keyboard in my settings. But whenever I try to write anything with it, I get an unknown error that does not allow me to write anything down.
Q: do you know of a workaround for this problem? generally, is there anyone who succeeded in installing 7notes for Android on a Kindle device? (and if all else fails, is there another app that recognizes your handwriting and transforms it into "proper" text?)
Any help/hint would be much appreciated! :good:
Have a great weekend!

Hi,
just received Kindle Fide HD from Amazon (NOT the newest one) and am unsure what order to set the device up in (excuse the grammar!)
Do I register it with Amazon on my account, then pay to remove ads, then root it to allow access to Google Play store?
Or if I root it first, does that remover the ads automatically, then register with Amazon?
Can I use the device without registering with Amazon? How do I know which method to use to rrot it and set up Google Play - there seem to be many varieties of rooting available on this forum...
Advice for newbie gratefully accepted.
Thanks

I recommend registering it for now, root it with binary's root, and once you have root you can disable the ads by renaming a file instead of paying 20$. Here's binary's root: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1886460

You can use it without registering if you want to put a custom ROM on it. If not, then you can't.

It depends on whether or not you want to use Amazon's services, such as the Kindle reading experience. If you do, you must register the Kindle. Disabling the lock screen ads (and the lock screen itself) is easy. Once I get my Kindle out of it's bricked state (I'm waiting for a pair of breakout boards to come in the mail), I'm thinking of creating some flashable zips to do this automatically.

You can just flash an Amazon zip and register it that way. I keep an Amazon nandroid to flash should I need to.
Hello,
Is there a way to disable Updates with the new KFHD? I just found threads about the old 2012 Version.

Look around in the general section, I don't personally keep up-to-date with the latest method. Last I heard there was an apk called something dtc that we would rename, but I can't remember if that was before or after people kept getting updated anyway.

Blocking/blacklisting the service Amazon Device Client Platform (ADCP) from using Wi-Fi with something like Android Firewall (Requires Root) should be enough to stop any Amazon OS Updates.
I'm not sure of it's APK name in /system but renaming it to something like "name.apk.bak" may just be as good but might cause system stability issues if you still want to use other Amazon services on the device, for that I'd suggest using the above Wi-Fi blocking method in any case.
It certainly works on the 2012 model, I'm still on 7.2.3
Hi all,
New Kindle owner here, and a very resourceful Android/iOS nerd.
My question is simple-- has anyone had success in cloning the built-in "Amazon Kindle" system app?
I'm looking to use multiple Kindle accounts. One is my US account (Prime account; where I have most of my audiobooks) and one is my JP account (where I have most of my Kindle books).
From what I recall on my TF300T tablet, the Google Play store edition of this app takes your Amazon login directly from the main screen when you first open it. In contrast, the Amazon Kindle system app on Fire devices takes your login from the account you use in Amazon's version of the Settings app.
I've tried using an app from the Play Store called "App Cloner" and have purchased the full version. I tried cloning the "Amazon Kindle" app twice with different configurations, but have not played with it much more. Most I've tried is removing permissions from it, in an effort to block it from automatically taking my US login from Settings.
I'm afraid that the remedy to this may be to download the Play Store version and clone that one instead. Problem is I lost my TF300T, and the Play Store on my Kindle reports it's already installed. (Interestingly enough, Google Play doesn't recognize Audible as already installed-- making a second copy of Audible easy to obtain)
Anyone have luck with this? Would love to figure out how to make this possible and write up a guide for it.
I'd like to know this too. I bought a kindle on someone elses amazon account so their account came attached. I removed it, but then that family member asked to read their kindle on my fire. So I couldn't add the account back for 6 months. So I was hoping to just remove the default one and add the regular version from the play store but it doesn't function for some reason. I would love to be able to log into a different kindle account just for the book store. I've had a bad time switching ROM and had to get a new one so I'd like to just avoid changing the OS for now.
Well, I have some good news and bad news regarding the subject. But, overall I would say it's progress none the less.
I *DID* find my TF300T, so I was able to download the Play Store version of the Kindle app and successfully clone it. I also managed to successfully install the cloned app. Unfortunately this is as far as I got.
When I launch the cloned app, the splash screen loads very briefly and the app crashes. I will test installing the cloned app on my TF300T and see if it opens cleanly on that device.
If it works on the TF300T, then there is something on the Fire 7" that prevents the clone (or even just the stock app) from operating correctly. I will post back (or edit my post) with my findings.
Hi All,
I'm having some issues with my Kindle Books app, when I go into the library most of my books appear as greyed out and won't open, there seems to be no difference between books downloaded to the device and books stored in the cloud. Only two books seem to work and I think both of these were purchased after the issue first ocurred. The odd thing is that if I go via the books store and select the "read now" button, the book will open on my device. Not really sure what's going on here, any thoughts on what I an do to fix this?
Running Fire OS 5.3.1 with root and ota blocked (by renaming file).
Thanks,
Jonny

Not immediately sure about your Kindle Books issue but first need to get the facts straight on your device. FireOS 5.3.1 is not rootable at present so you must be running another version or don't actually have root. This could be relevant as some apps behave differently on rooted devices.

I used this tutorial to do it. It allows 5.3.1 to be rooted using 5.1.2 bootloader.

Yep - welcome to the 1% club (ok - maybe 5%) that followed this procedure and opted to remain on FireOS. I actually thought about that possibility when penning my previous response but felt mentioning it would only lead to confusion. My bad.
As for Kindle Books have you tried uninstalling/reinstalling the app? I realize this may be a challenge as the version included with FireOS is a system app different (and possibly not readily available) than the generic Android app. You might also try clearing the app data store which *should* be repopulated from Amazon cloud on initial connection after the flush.

Yeah, I know it's an unusual choice, will probably install a custom rom at some point but for now Nova launcher and Fire OS is good enough for me
In more relevant news clearing the app data store seems to have worked a treat, thanks for your help
I'm on n the same boat, running Fire OS 5.3.1 with 5.0.1 bootloader. That's the only way that FreeTime works for my kids. Wish they just made free time available in he Google. Play store
I need to install a remote management tool on my kids Amazon Fire Tablet. However, knowing him, he'll probably access the icon and try to change all the settings. Is there a way to do this without trying to root the tablet?
