If it does not install copy it to /system/app and set permisions to rw-r-r

Thanks for responding. Ok , copied to /system/apps, changed permissions to rw-r-r. Still will not install. Same error message running apks.
I have had problems installing some applications one I use a lot Paypal. The application won't install via sideload, or moving to system/app. I guess some applications are just not compatible at least for the moment. I've noticed a lot of games have problems as well even if they are installed.

you don't install it you re boot sorry I was not clear enough about that
Sent from my KFTT using xda app-developers app
On re boot, nothing changed. Funny thing bout this is, this is the same android version on my kids Nabi2, and I was able to side load it there. So it leads me to believe its a kindle fire issue. Maybe....
Any one care to chime in
I'm having trouble with some side loaded apps on the fire HD. I don't think the ICS on the fire is quite standard. Amazon modified it quite a bit. I think this is where some of the problems lie.
I haven't tried this cause I don't have another tablet with ICS. Did you try pulling the apps from the nabi and pushing them to the fire with Adb. I wonder if that might work.

As the title says ADB won't work on this mac, when I look at adb devices nothing comes up. I've tried to reinstall SDK and it resulted in it not even working. I've changed adb_usb.ini in order for it to work and that didn't work. I have ADB on, on my tablet and everything is in place but no results.

My Kindle Fire HD is rooted.
Was it ever working? Because the link I gave you is for root, but it also tells you how to connect adb on a mac.

It only worked on Ubuntu but my laptop broke so I'm left with a mac. I'll try the link you gave me.
[Edit]
I doesn't work and no commands are working anymore.
It's giving me either -bash: ./adb: No such file or directory
or whatever else. Everything isn't working at all.

Then you may want to check again, because "-bash: ./adb: No such file or directory" quite clearly means that the filename "adb" was not in the current directory (./) from which you ran the command. There's simply no other way to interpret it.
Okay, so I feel like I'm right on the cusp of figuring this out but I just can't seem to get the last few steps to work, here is where I'm at.
I have a successfully rooted kindle Fire 2nd Gen. Running on 10.3.1. I installed Next Launcher and it is a nightmare, crashes and loops back after hitting okay. Nothing has fixed it so I found this comment yesterday...

Since you have root access you can use adb to remove a system apk,
Use these commands:
Code:
adb shell
su
mount -o remount,rw -t rfs /dev/stl5 /system
rm -r /system/app/[AppName].apk
mount -o remount,ro -t rfs /dev/stl5 /system
If you need to look up a list of apk names on the device:
Code:
cd /system/app
ls *.apk
Hope this works for you.

I followed everything to a tee. When I get to the point where I enter: rm -r /system/app/[AppName].apk
I listed the apps installed and Next launcher shows up as: "Next LAuncher 3D" so I entered: rm -r /system/app/Next LAuncher 3D.apk
Yes, I've tried without spaces, underscores, everything, nothing. How can I get my CMD to read the launcher so I can delete it, cause my kindle is useless right now. Any help guys, many thanks.

Do you have any time between crashes? Or any launcher ability?
I had that error with the keyboard so that it crashed but I could get one button press per crash and remedied it that way...if also assume a reset to factory defaults would fix it in the kindle recovery...it would reset your default launcher b ut WARNING RESET TO FACTORY DEFAULT WILL TURN OFF ADB

I have a solution step 1. Download kindle fire first aide and follow all directions exactly as they are written. (Link on bottom of page) step 2. Once completed all of the necessary steps open up KF First aide and click y then enter. Step 3. Go down to option 13 (backup entire kindle to kindlebackups folder) and follow the easy instructions on screen. This will take a little bit so be patient. Step 4. Find (restore entire kindle from kindle backups folder). Follow the onscreen instructions for restoring the Kindle. Make sure the computer is plugged in and the Kindle won't accidentally get unplugged from the computer during this process. When it asks you if you would like to instal blank partition always click y. WHEN IS SAYS WIPE USER DATA AND CASH CLICK Y. Follow all the on screen instructions carefully. If this doesn't work tell me I have one more thing but it should.

Next Launcher is buggy. The last three updates they've come out with have all addressed bug fixes and FC's. It's a work in progress and they know it's still buggy. You can either keep Next and wait for updates if the bugginess is tolerable or grab a different launcher for now and go back to it at some point in the future.

listen to me very carefully bcause im freaking out right now. Forget about ever getting next launcher. I tried it yesterday put it in my system app folder. Restarted the kindle fire hd and now im in a boot loop. Yep im soft bricked forget about this launcher.
Well, take a breath and take your time, you're not hard bricked or nothing. Just use what you know (you had a pretty good post above), and I'm sure you'll get out of it fine. If you get stuck at any point along the way just let somebody know. That's what a lot of the community is here for. I have bricked a Kindle (hard bricked ) before, just don't rush. Oh BTW, there's no need to make a launcher a system app, they work just fine installing like any other app and then just wiping data from original launcher :thumbup:

Yes but does that work for kindle fire hd. It didn't allow picking default launcher unless in system apps. And by the way I am now un bricked. For some reason after turning it on to try something to fix it the app actually started to work thus allowing the Kindle to actually boot up. I deleted the app right away and that completely fixed it no more boot loop. I must be one of the only people to have there kindle fire hd 7 UN brick itself!!!
Hmm, that's strange. Might want to try downloading a launcher from the play store, just stay on the page until it finishes downloading and then hit open on the app page in the play store. Then hit your home button, an option should pop up asking you which launcher you want to use. If that doesn't work, you could try going to the default launcher in your app manager and deselect it as the default app for launching (do all that after installing new launcher).

Yes that would work on a normal device but the Kindle Fire is running a forked version of androud 4.0.3. Amazon found a way to stop the default launcher popup from happening unless you put it us system apps. Amazon is stupid like that.

Well that would have been nice to know like 2 days ago, that makes a big difference. If you're stock it has to be in system/app. You need to find the apk off the internet, put it in system/app and change permissions to read/write -->read-->read. Don't install the app just place it in system/app, change the permissions and reboot. You should automatically get a pop up then asking which launcher you want to use.

Should I change all the third party apps in my system app folder to rw-r-r. And what does this do exactly. Because Utah I never changed the permissions for next launcher 3d all were selected like r-w-e-r-w-e-r-w-e is this what put my kindle into the boot loop before not changing the permissions.
Hello I am not happy to report that I got in a bit over my head.
I had rooted my kindle fire and everything was going great until I decided to start messing around with SystemUI.apk
I renamed the .apk file to sysui.apk and rebooted. After which i unlocked my KFHD and there was a dark gray screen and nothing else. the volume indicator would display when i toggled the volume buttons and when i hit the power button to shut it off it would ask if i was sure I wanted to shut down. Those are the only things that would display initially.
After doing some reading I downloaded Android Commander in the attempt to Rename the .apk file back to it's original hoping that would remedy the issue. BUT Android Commander did not recognize my root access therefore i was unable to do so. I used Android Commander to Reboot and Restore the kindle to it's factory settings hoping that would fix the issue. at first it seemed to work kindle prompted me to select a language, timezone, connect to a network and register to amazon. After all was done I was back to the original kindle home screen with only my un-downloaded cloud content on display. I then noticed that the "softbar"(?) at the top that displays the time and battery level was not there. I tried to click apps and the screen reverted back to the dark gray. I rebooted after doing so several times i found that clicking anything on that bar (video, music, apps, web, etc.) it would go Gray and stay there until I rebooted again. I tried to reconnect to my computer but then realized since I restored factory settings USB debugging is now DISABLED. Seeing as how there is no way for me to get into the Setting menu and change that I am now stuck with a 7" kindle fire HD that can go no further than unlock and the kindle home screen. I am at a loss as to how to fix this and very upset about it hence why i am reaching out to you all in this community.
I need some help here to put my mind at ease because it is 3am and I cannot stop thinking about it. I DO NOT want to trash this device and i pray there is a fix for this issue. but in all honesty I DO NOT see how it can happen.... I would provide the version and details of my device if i could but ONCE AGAIN. I am unable to get into the Setting menu to acquire that information. I think it is 7.4.3 but that is from memory and i am not certain.
I am eagerly waiting for a response! PLEASE help me resolve this issue!
Can you access your kindle with adb?
Or do you have a fast boot cable? It sounds like you either need to rename the file back with adb or reflashing with kffaide

I do have the fastboot cable. but i do no think i have adb access.
As i said in my initial post. I don't believe that USB debugging is enabled on the device since the "factory reset."
If i did i still run into the permission issue of renaming a file in \system\app with "no root".
pushing the file would have the same permission restriction as well if i'm not mistaken.
Hi all. Happy New Year! Let me start off by saying that this may be a stupid question because I don't know if it is even possible or if I am thinking that it is a lot harder than it actually is.
Anyway, I have had an HTC device for as long as I can remember and I would really like to have HTC Sense Launcher on my Fire Tablet. I have my Fire tablet rooted and it is running Google Now Launcher at the moment. I downloaded and installed HTC Sense Home launcher from the Play Store on my HTC M9 so I thought maybe I could just download it from the tablet. There aren't any results for the HTC Sense Home launcher if I search from the tablet. So...I used APK Extractor to save the apk from my phone. I have transferred the apk file from my phone to the Fire tablet. However, I have not installed it yet because of a fear of bricking the device.
My worries are...
When I installed it on my phone, it just works, there isn't an app that you can select that says "HTC Sense Launcher". Does that mean that I would have to put that APK in the folder, System->Priv Apps? That is where I had to delete the Fire Launcher file in order to get Google Now as my default launcher.
The other thing that worries me is that I know that I had to install 4 different files just to get the Play Store to work. Would I have to extract more APK's from my HTC phone in order to get the Sense Launcher to work?
Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.
Looks like you need rather more than just the one apk

I think they've just mistakenly thought it was the HD. Plus they've already removed the fire launcher and are using google's one, it's just that the htc one is just bit more complex.

Ah, then you are right, he is a 7" tablet. In that case, here is the answer for him:
First, make sure you install the launcher you want.
Wait 30 seconds in between commands if you don't know what you're doing.
Code:
adb.exe reboot bootloader
fastboot.exe oem append-cmdline "androidboot.unlocked_kernel=true"
fastboot.exe continue
adb.exe wait-for-device && adb.exe remount
adb.exe shell "rm /system/priv-app/com.amazon.firelauncher/com.amazon.firelauncher.apk"
adb.exe reboot
This will not backup the firelauncher btw, use
adb.exe shell "cp /system/priv-app/com.amazon.firelauncher/com.amazon.firelauncher.apk /sdcard/com.amazon.firelauncher.apk"
if you have an sdcard to backup.
