Aptoide on Kindle Fire HD 7. Anyone had success?

As stated in the topic, has anyone here had success using Aptoide on the Kindle Fire HD 7?
I have tried installing several versions as well as adding the main and other various repos etc. The app itself goes through the server lists updating and each time nothing shows up. No icons or app list to look at.
If anyone has got this to successfully run, update, and download files, please post a comment or feedback here. Would like to know what needs to be done if it's possible.

I had one that worked fine forgot where I got it from

I went to aptoide.com using the Kindle Browser and installed. Aptoide runs fine for me. Used Aptoide as an alternative until I had time to root my device.

I went to aptoide dot com and it basically asked me if I wanted tl dl the application. It works fine.

AW: Aptoide on Kindle Fire HD 7. Anyone had success?
Google aptoide, open side, install aptoide, done

Works great for me. App compatibility can be hit or miss, but most work like a charm.
Just make sure you download it from the site. Painless installation and runs great.

I had aptoide when i get my kindle in november.

I have it installed on my Kindle too. Works perfectly.

Google services disabled though...
I should work for the kindle...the only thing is that since the kindle is from Amazon...not google...so some off the apps that allow google play (Example: Clash of clans) You won't be able to login because a kindle doesn't hold google play services. Example: CoC you won't be able to load your town hall from google. There may be a way to put google services on kindle...It IS possible!

Minimalistic text crash

Is anyone else having trouble with MT? I can get the default widget to show but any attempt to customize causes a crash. Works fine on rooted stock, but not on hybrid cm 10.

I don't know the answer, but stock is ics and CM10 is jellybean. Did you check the Play Store store to see if it is compatible with jellybean?

It is, I use it on my gnex with 4.2.2, and I reloaded from play, it should check that, right?

Actually "not should check". This depends how application is written. But if look how famous Minimalistic text is i guess that it looks.
I recommend on Hybrid first clean Minimalistic text cahce and data (on Settings-Applications->My Apps->Minimalistic text <- this step by step on stock launcher). Then remove application and look to sdcard/Android/data folder. If there you see something named with devmil.minimalistic then delete it. Now you may reboot and install it again. Hope problems is gone.
If not then problem is somewhere on Hybrid side i think which on i dont belive.

downloading "incompatible apps" from Amazon App Store

Hi,
I've recently gotten CM 10.1 working (more or less) on my KFHD 7. I'd like to spoof the device ID in build.prop so that I can download certain apps from the Amazon App Store. Currently I experience the infamous "This App is not compatible" error since the tablet isn't stock,
Does anyone know the values I'll need to modify to make my tablet "appear" to be stock for the purposes of Amazon Apps? I searched this but haven't found the answer I'm looking for.
Thank you!

Until reading this I was unaware there was an appstore for non amazon kindle devices by amazon, just downloaded it from their website and installed angry birds star wars and haven't had a problem, what app is giving you problems? I can't really help if its a paid app, my account is linked to my moms credit card since I don't have one, and she rarely would let me use that, I only had to put it on record to use the appstore.

This is related to my other topic on this forum - it's for HBO Go Kindle Tablet Edition (free). The edition from the Play Store refuses to work on my modded KFHD, and the Amazon App Store won't let me download theirs unless I'm on the factory OS.

Ah, yea its not in my search results, and idk if this applies to you, but last time I transferred a app off my moms kindle that was free and put it on mine I couldn't even run it, kept saying I didn't own a license, and I was like its free why do I need a license... If u have your kindle os backed up u could backup Ur cm os and flash back temporarily and copy the HBO app from your /data/apps folder to your sdcard, flash back to Ur cm backup and try installing it manually. Lot of work for one app though. If you wanna edit the build,prop I think the name u change it to is KFTT

I've tried naming it KFTT in the build.prop but it doesn't help. I've tried tweaking a few other values as well, and the only thing that seems to happen is that Amazon Apps ITSELF starts to force close upon launch.
I don't understand build.prop enough to know: Does it just contain identifying info? Or does it affect the way the tablet operates? If it's just identifiers, I could theoretically copy the one from either the stock OS or Kinology right?
To your other suggestion: I've had mixed results sideloading from a "working" ROM. I admit I haven't really spent a ton of time on that option, but it's possible that it may be the solution.

Well I ended up building my system in parallel - I've got two active ROMs (stock and CM 10.1) and I'm switching between by using TWRP.
With this method, I downloaded the app from the Amazon App Store, backed up the APK from ES File Explorer, restored CM10.1, then installed the backed up app.
Still doesn't work - force close on HBO Go immediately upon launch. Frustrating!

While your in cm try installing catlog and looking at the error that occurs right at the time if crashing in the logs. Might be debugable.

Super interesting:
I downloaded catlog as you suggested, and found that HBO Go is crashing on a permission issue when attempting to access PREVENT_POWER_KEY. Upon further research, it looks like Hashcode discovered this almost a year ago -
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=30963540&postcount=1534
It looks like that particular bug has not yet been ironed out. I wonder why??

Well thatg was on another kindle is if it was a year ago I believe, so maybe he didn't notice in his current build, you should ask him about it on his cm thread in android development, unless he sees this thread and happens to reply first.

[Q] Apps uninstalling on own?

My wife just told me that her Nook HD+ is uninstalling apps on it's own. Have any of you heard of this happening before on Nook HD+? It stays on her Android phone but is removed from the tablet.
I haven't seen this happen but just asking because the wife is pissed at me for this happening on something I modded for her. LOL

What is she running on her HD+? Stock or some version of CM? And are you sure they are uninstalling or just the icons missing from the home screen?

What launcher are you using, 'trebuchet' which comes with CM, or another third party launcher?

So you are not really having to re-install the apps, just put the icons back on the home screen?
Why don't you try a third party launcher and see if the disappearing icons quit disappearing.

Various apps. Wife hasn't been able to remember the names but the types were flashcards app (like the 3x5 cards we used in school), scientific calculator, biology and a game.
Sorry, doing the best I can with a wife that has a poor memory of app names.

I was just wondering if they were apps she got at the Amazon app store. Sometimes those get flacky if they can't verify that the app store is installed and running.

You could try scanning the ALL tab under My Apps on the Play Store - that shows all the apps you've ever installed on any device registered against your Google account. That might jog her memory. If they're not listed there then maybe, as leapinlar suggested, they came from the Amazon app store and have fallen prey to the flakiness he's observed.
(Backup tools like Titanium Backup can be set to do regular app backups which could provide a useful recovery point in cases like this. Not so useful if the user can't remember what the apps were called, though...)

Maybe she downloaded apps from play store, then removed hers Google account, so all apps associated got Uninstalled.

If its using cm11 there was a bug where app icons would disappear from the launcher after app updates.
Apps uninstalling themselves though... Besides user error or bad judgement I can think of many possible scenarios where apps could be removed/disappear.
I wonder too if google's new app checker service improvement could remove them if it didn't like them. Perhaps even being triggered during an automatic update.
[Ah yes, there is what I was looking for: "Google Play scans apps that are uploaded for malware. If an app is later discovered to be malicious, Google can automatically remove it from the devices it’s been installed on." -> http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/cracked-android-apps-and-games-read-this-before-downloading/
And that is only one way it can happen.]

[Q] Google Play still sees as HD+

I just flashed the newest CM11 build yesterday on my HD+. Its running great and many thanks for the threads on getting it done as painlessly as possible. I do have a question and not sure if there is a workaround.
Google Play still sees the device as a stock HD+. That means it still thinks I am running Android 2.2 Nook OS so a lot apps are "not compatible with your device". I hoped that one perk of upgrading to 4.4 was that I could now get the latest and greatest apps and other features that only work on the higher OS levels.
Any way to fix this? What I dont understand is that I have an old HP Touchpad running Tenderloin and it shows up as "unknown maker" cm-tenderloin device. When I updated the HD+ I went through the process of logging into my accounts just like any other droid device.
Thanks for any help.

There is not much you can do. Even when other users manually edit the build.prop file to change it to another device, Play Store still does not show many more apps compatible. That is because Play Store looks at more properties that name. It looks at screen size, density and whether it has a camera, GPS, etc.
What you need to do is enable unknown sources and either use another store like Amazon.com or get the apk file from another device and install it manually.

Thanks for the tip. I will try the unknown source route.

I don't see why it's still recognizing yours as 2.2 though. Before installing the 4.4.4 KITKAT OS, Instagram and iHeartRadio were deemed incompatible with my device. However, once I installed the new OS, they installed and ran flawlessly even without features such as a camera. Then again I AM using the HD instead of the HD+ so maybe that has something to do with it?

He is mistaken on that. It does see it as 4.4, he just assumed that was the problem.
