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!

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.

Anyone notice you can Swype on the 8.9 kindle keyboard? I don't think I am able to do this on my 7.

I didn't. But I love having it.
I wonder if I can take the keyboard from my 8.9 and install it on my wife's 7. She would love to be able to swype on her 7.
Let me know if you manage that, I would love that.

Looks like the 7.2.2 update gave the hd 7 Swype. Try it

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

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/

Any chance someone could pull the APK of the Amazon App store version of Wired Magazine from a Kindle Fire HD 7"? Regular Android tablets don't get the nice, tablet-optimized version of the magazine. Instead, we basically get a PDF. The only other copies of the APK floating out there are from the original Kindle Fire, where the magazine content is stuck in a 1024x600 box in the middle of the screen.
Not looking for any magazine content, as I'm a subscriber Just looking for the APK itself. Thanks!

Asking one more time. Any chance someone could pull the APK?
Thanks!
If you're rooted, you could try Market Helper from codekiem, to spoof the kindle device id?

Yeah, I have that one and I believe it's from the original Kindle Fire. The date on that post is in 2011 and the HD was released in 2012.
I'm not 100% sure the APK from the KF HD would even work, but I know the one from the original KF doesn't work correctly. I appreciate the reply.

Really good idea, but people on this thread indicate that it doesn't fool the Amazon App Store.

Thanks for the help, though.
