I tried one of the root methods to root my Kindle Fire HD 8.9. I have super su listed as an app, but I no longer have any access at all to the amazon app store, video, books etc. The browser works and I can reach the web with the device so it isn't a data connection. Any clue how I can get access back to the amazon stuff? I don't really care if it is rooted or not.
Thanks
Nevermind. IT looks like the the wireless connection I have doesn't authenticate with certain things, Amazon being one of them.

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!
Is there a way to install apps that say they are incompatible? I tried installing MAX GO, but it says it's incompatible with my NOOK HD+. HBO GO, basically the same app is compatible.
There are a bunch of other apps, like Optimum Cable app that won't install. The weird thing, I used to be able to at least search for them before 2.10, but now they won't even show up in the Play Store.
I have the latest Extras installed to allow other sources and I reran Rooting after 2.10 upgrade, and have Root access. I also tried "Market Helper" app to spoof the tablet, but it seems to have old tablets in the list, like Kindle and Kindle HD.
Thanks.
Not much you can do other than install from other stores like 1mobile.com or Amazon.com or try getting from another device. Most will run if you can get them to install.

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.
Root and play services all went without a hitch, but I cannot run an app that requires an additional permission normally accessed via settings>security>apps with usage access. It simply does not exist in the settings menu on the kindle. Is there any way to add the option or access the setting another way?
I've attached a screenshot of the app at the point it gets stuck.
Did you ever get this working?
Sorry, this isn't an answer. For some reason, posting a comment isn't working on this site in any web browser. In any case, I've got the exact situation you do (same HW/SW/root). I'm even trying to get the same app working through the google play store that you are, and am seeing the same message. Did you ever find a solution to this? Were you ever able to get MobileFence running on the Fire?
It is not available on Fire OS. Since Amazon has no use for Google play services.You would have to
Install a different ROM. I would ditch Fire Os and set it up as a kids tablet under CM or SlimLP. There is a good thread on how to do it in the Fire forum.
This proves Jeff Bezos is as big a crooks as the rest of them.
This stinks to high heaven!
Actually no, business model is solid even though it displeases some. Purchase a different device If you dislike Amazon's ecosystem.

I know this is an old post, but since I came across it looking for a solution, I thought I should answer for others that come across this looking for a solution...
I found the answer on this thread, but here's the tl;dr version:
Download App Ops, which also requires Shizuku Manager.
I was trying to install AppLock which has a similar issue and this fixed it for me.
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.
