So i rooted my brothers kindle fire hd tonight on request.
he had downloaded an app from the Google store called freekindle or kindlefree where you basically download launchers.
deciding he didnt like these launchers and wanted to delete them he went into ES File Explorer and basically deleted the stock launcher.apk file that comes with the kindle. The kindle is still booted up and is running right now on a different launcher but i NEED to get it back to normal. If anyone can please help i will be so very grateful.

why do you want normal ?, you can put other like go launcher or nova launcher
Here's the stock Launcher.apk from the latest KFHD 7" software (7.2.3)
Try putting it back in the system/app directory and set the permissions to --rw-r-r-- with ES Explorer if not already like that.
Reboot the Kindle Fire after doing that & see if it works.

Certain apps such as the Kindle app don't launch in 3rd party launchers like Nova or Go Launcher, also sometimes they can crash (unlikely, but can happen) so having the default one to fall back on is not a bad idea
Fwiw
You can get these files from the amazon updates download on their page... just rename the download to zip

Google found thread with this name ([REQ]amazonmp3.apk from HTC 1.32.405.6 WWE Stock ROM) on this forum, but link is dead, so I would like to share this app. It is usefull for OTA Desire HD update, becouse update checking system data.
I pasted this back into /system/app/ and rebooted but it doesn't seem to be back on the menu? Are there any other steps required? (Desire HD, stock rom)
Hi,do you install the apk application ?
Maybe it goes in /data/app/

Yes actually, it was the only thing I could of. Changed them to match the other apks in the directory, rw_r_r.
Thanks for the suggestion though.
Hi, I just put the file to /system/app and nothing more. After reboot the app is back in apps list. I use recovery mode and "adb push" command to put file to device.

Hi All,
I have an Australian Wifi Xoom - i recently GEDified it and updated it to the latest US ICS build.
One thing I miss from when i had the stock OS that came with my Xoom is the File explorer.
will it be possible for someone to upload the Apk for it? My device has not been rooted as i want to keep it as stock as possible.
Astro file explorer... I use that... its great.

Sorry to bring this topic back, but has anyone got a XOOM stock file manager app file I could download?
I'd really appreciate that!
I don't think so there is a stock file explorer for zoom use 3rd party file explorer astro or some other

I know this is old but I've tried it. I made a backup of the File Manager from my Xoom with stock honeycomb and installed it on 4.1 and it crashes.

I've tried Astro but have been using File Manager HD for a while and I like it for its simplicity. It can be used on rooted or non-rooted devices (just look at the settings menu for root capabilities).
Hey all,
How do I actually apply themes that I have downloaded online?
For example, I downloaded a zip file off mycolorscreen which contains the background pictures, icons..
So what's the next step? Do I have to use another app to apply this? Or do I put this folder in the SD card and install it using the recovery mode?
I might be totally going in the wrong direction here.. Would be nice if someone can point out the way! Thanks...
Well for one, no you can't apply it, or flash it. You have to set the background as wallpaper. Find a launcher that'll allow you to change icons and/or dock. (If your on GB id say Go,ADW,Launcher Pro. If your in ICS id say apex or Nova launcher). You have to press and hold and Icon until it asks you if you want to 'edit' the icon. Hopes this helps.

After my kindle updated to 7.4.3 no background on any themes for go launcher ex show up anymore. It just shows a black screen. All the icons work like normal and change with the themes but no background. I've restored to factory settings rooted again, and reinstalled everything and still have black screen as a background. Any help would be appreciated, thanks. I've also posted in general but since I'm new I'm not sure if general is where I should post this so I'm posting it here as well. If I should delete one or the other please let me know.
I made a fix for X.4.1, but amazon decided to release and update that makes my fix not work, if you have 7.4.3 could you send or post this file on the following thread so I can see if I can fix this so it works again? Need this file /system/framework/framework-res.apk
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2295750
If u post that I might be able to fix it, but if you use the tool I have released on that thread it won't work.

Sorry to barge in, however does anyone know how to remove go launcher EX and HD? There is no option to uninstall it from the application menu (just force stop) and es won't let me delete it from the system/apps folder
Also, I've installed Nova and Apex, however they are not showing up anywhere on my device
You have to enable the root options in as file explorer to delete system apps, check all of them off and it should work.

If anyone else is having this issue just check out stunts thread that he posted, his fix worked for my kindle. Also how do you close a thread if your question is answered?
Hello I'm trying to enable live wallpaper support on my rooted amazon fire 5th gen tablet, I sideloaded wallpaper picker apk into /system/app with rw-r-r permissions but it just crashes can anyone help? does it require a lib or bin file to work?
P.S. I'm sorry If This post isn't the most organized I don't usually post to Xda unless there is a lack of posts on a topic or if the only posts are antiquated i.e. this one from 2012 obviously not very helpful with a newer generation kindle

if you downloaded the picker from this post you also need to download either the livewallpapers.apk or download one of the other separate live wallpaper apks. if that still doesn't work I'm going to have to upload one of my other pickers but I am at work and won't be home for several hours. I will do that later if needed. let me know your results and I'll see what I can do tomorrow if I need to do anything at all.
Also check system/etc/permissions for android.software.live_wallpapers.xml. if that is not present in your permissions folder you need to download that from somewhere doesn't matter where and add it to your folder and set the right permissions.
