[Q] Can you install use Google voice search without rooting KFHD?

I'd like to be able to use a voice recognition app on my Kindle Fire HD but I'm having trouble downloading Google voice search. I tried following the instructions on one of the threads here but I'm getting stuck when I try to copy the files to system/lib/libvoicesearch etc. It won't let me create new folders or copy the files over. Does my Kindle have to be rooted in order to do it? I'm using ES file explorer.
Yes you need root acess to move files to system.

totally new,
Great question totally new. If you review our post here:
[HOW TO] Install Google Voice Search & Speech Recognition Soft Noob (Simple) Version
As you will see in the post, you need to move files to both the /system/app folder and the /system/lib folder which you only have READ right. When you Root The Kindle Fire HD or 2, you are able to browse as a Superuser which changes the folder rights to READ WRITE.
Thank you for taking the time to post this question.

[Q] [KFTT] customizing the status bar on default launcher

I have a rooted 7" Kindle Fire HD and was wondering if there was a way to further customize the status bar without installing extra apps or a different launcher.
In particular, I'd like to see the battery percentage (isn't that a stock option from ICS onwards?), and I'd like to be able to see the notifications that would normally be displayed in the top left corner (e.g. Trillian, Tapatalk) where the Fire only displays the device name.

Step 5 should probably be "Tap com.calsto.omega.statusbar-1.apk to install." before rebooting the Kindle, otherwise you get into a loop of "Omega StatusBar has stopped".
That said, the app appears to work fine on the Fire HD. The only problem I've noticed so far is that I get occasional "flashes" of the regular status bar. Some of these appear random, others are reproducible (selecting the Theme Manager, for instance).
Any way to get notifications to show up?

Buy the pro version. Ive followed the steps to the tee, even doing as suggested regarding installing the apk before reboot and it fc's everytime on boot. If you open the app however i can get it to work after boot but oddly its not compatible with the hide statusbar option in nova. The default statusbar is displayed in the homescreen and omega one when an app is open.

On my 8.9" Kindle Fire HD (rooted), Omega StatusBar crashes as soon as I turn accessibility on (which the app says is necessary to get notifications). Is there a workaround for this?

Omega Status Bar is buggy with Kinology. I've also tried Rom Toolbox and only been able to change the battery image. I even went as far as manually tinkering with the SystemUI.apk (with unfortunate results). Does anyone know a reliable app or method of changing the icons on the status bar, or completely changing the entire theme of it?
Any help would be appreciated.

It looks like Ninjamorph hasn't been updated since August 2010, and the developer's website registration has expired. Have you actually tried it on the HD?
When I found Ninjamorph and began using it, I was already on Kinology (which wasn't very long ago), so I wouldn't know how effective it is on the original Rom. The program itself is very easy to use. You are on Kinology?

No, I have a KFHD8.9, so I can't use Kinology. Ninjamorph will probably work on the stock ROM, but I just get generally nervous about using software that's been abandoned by the developer for years.

This is posted here because theres no "General" section for the KFDH8
There's really go guides/how to's/info all in one place for the KFHD8 so I figured I'd put one together. I didn't come up with any of this stuff, but I searched high and low for some of these answers and some aren't "simple" to find.

[How To] Root Kindle Fire HD 8.9"
The author of the OP asked the file not be mirrored anywhere else, so please don't take the file and create another post with the file mirrored. If the link doesn't work, the op is located here. You need to post there or here and ask someone for a link via PM. ALSO This does NOT Install Busy Box, you'll need to download and install that once you get the market installed.
1 - Download the .zip file here
2 - Extract the file to the folder of your choice
3 - Double click the "RunMe.bat" file and follow the directions
(note, there is a step that will ask you to type something on your screen, watch for it, otherwise you'll have to start over)
Alternatively, you can download and use the tool located here. It'll automatically root it for you when you do the Restore+Root option(but it's a 1.1gb file so prepare for a lengthy download time)

[How To] Install TWRP on the Kindle Fire HD 8.9"
The instructions and files are found here along with REALLY good instructions. Little hint: when you're typing in the code, it's probably best to just copy and past what Hashcode typed up rather than try to type it out yourself.
Link to CM10.1(Android 4.2.2): Files plus are all listed here. Just download the files, copy to your kindle, boot into recovery(with the device powered off, hold Vol + and power. Release power once you see the Kindle logo but keep holding Vol + until it boots into TWRP), and install.NOTE: THERE IS AN EXTRA STEP IF YOU HAVE SYSTEM VERSION 8.3!

[How To] Install gApps onto the Kindle Fire HD 8.9"
In order to do this you need a file explorer app that will allow you to write to the system folder and change file permissions(I.E. - ES File Explorer)
1 - Download the file located here
2 - Extract the file and copy the Apps folder to your kindle(located under the "System" folder once the file is extracted)
3 - Navigate to the Apps folder you just copied to your Kindle and install GoogleServicesFramework.apk and GoogleLoginService.apk
4 - Copy Phonesky.apk and Talk.apk to /system/app on your Kindle
5 - Change the permissions of Phonesky.apk and Talk.apk so they're set to the following:
User: Read Write
Group: Read
Others: Read
6 - Install Phonesky.apk and Talk.apk and reboot the device
Google Play Market should now show up under your apps. Just to be safe, I also reinstall GoogleServicesFramework.apk and GoogleLoginService.apk again just to be sure...probably not needed...but it's what I do

[How To] Set a different default launcher on your Kindle Fire HD 8.9"
You can do this 1 of 2 ways, the way I'm listing is "fool proof" so to speak, but require you to purchase Titanium Backup Pro. The other way doesn't cost anything, but also doesnt work for EVERY launcher(such as ADW.Launcher EX). The other way with directions is here(though it says it's for the Kindle Fire 7, it will work on the 8.9" too)
1 - Download your launcher of choice(I prefer Go Launcher HD for Pad and install from Google Play
2 - Open Titanium Backup Pro
3 - Go to the "Backup/Restore" tab, long press on the launcher you just installed and click "Convert to system app"
4 - Press the "home" buttom and it will prompt which launcher you want to use

[How To] Remove Bloatware from your Kindle Fire HD 8.9"
Again, there are two ways to do this(one being use ADB and manually delete the apps from the /system/app folder) but again, this way is probably a bit safer
1 - Open Titanium Pro
2 - Go to the "Backup/Restore" tab
A - If the app you want to remove is RED then you have to long press on the app, select "Convert to user app", long press it again, and select "Backup-->Verify-->Uninstall"(this will back it up in case you need to reinstall it)
B - If the app you want to remove is white, then you can just long press and select "Backup-->Verify-->Uninstall
C - If the app you want to remove is RED AND doesn't give the option to convert it to a system app, if you can just tap the app name(not long press) and select "Freeze App" that will disable the app so it's not used anymore.

Q. Why can't I get certain apps to install on my Kindle Fire DH 8.9" through Google Play?
A. That's because the KFHD8 isn't supposed to have Google Play on it, so certain apps will say they aren't compatible with your device. The way around that is to either A - change your build.prop so that it shows a different device(which I wouldn't do if I was you) or B - Use Market Helper. It will fool the Play Market into thinking you have a different device which will allow you to install the "restricted" apps. You'll need Root, GoogleServicesFramework and GoogleLoginServices installed for this to work.
Q. When I try to use "X" app, it says Google is requesting permissions to log-in, but when I click on the notification, it just disappears.
A. You need to install GoogleLoginServices
Q. Why can't I add widgets to my homescreen when using my customer launcher?
A. The Kindle Fire does not by default support homescreen widgets, this you need to install the App Widget Picker THEN set a widget.
Q. When I try to open Gmail it just says the app has stopped...why?
A. You need to install Account and Sync Settings.
Q. OH NOOO!!!! I FUBAR'ed MY KFHD8!!! HOW DO I RESET IT BACK TO FACTORY?!?!?!?!
Download and use the tool located here
Q. Is the SIM card in my KFHD8 removable? If so, is the tablet unlocked?
A. The sim card is removable. It's located on the top left side of the device. And yes, it is unlocked. BUT there are no T-Mobile 3g/4g bands as seen in the FCC doc [url="https://apps.fcc.gov/eas/GetApplicationAttachment.html?id=1794817']here[/url].
That's all for now folks! I'll add more as it comes along. If you see a mistake or think something might be a good idea to add...just lemme know...i'll get it added!
I totally agree with most of these steps, especially rooting and TWRP. However, in my opinion a simpler way to get things like a new launcher and the android market on the kindle with an application called KindleFree - http://www.xda-developers.com/andro...cher-and-google-play-store-on-kindle-fire-hd/
Its a straight forward APK that does most of the work for you in regards to installing services and getting things configured. There is a free version linked and after using the free version to get the process started a paid version will let you complete the rest of the setup (It costs $1).
It was a life saver for me because of its simplicity.
If you have installed TWRP recovery, can't you just flash the last ICS gapps from recovery?
Rooting 8.3.1

[Q] Any way to install stock AOSP browser on rooted KF 7" HD?

I personally like the stock android browser for quick internet (not to mention that it supports flash). I tried to copy the browser.apk file from another device and transfer it to my KF HD 7", but when installing got a message saying "Parse Error" - There is a problem parsing the package. So, obviously that method will not work.
Does anyone out there have a method to get the stock android browser onto the KF HD 7?
Thanks in advance!
You need to push it or copy it to the /system/app folder, and give it root permissions.

Thanks for your reply. I had already moved the .apk file to the /system/app folder and attempted to run it there. That's when I got the parse error described above. It did not ask for root permissions, so I wasn't able to grant them. Unless there is something else that I am missing?
Thanks again for your help!

There shouldn't be a superuser request. To install the stock browser, first:
a.) Move it to /system/app
b.) Give it root permissions from there like this: rw-r--r--. You can do this in an app like ES File explorer by holding the app and selecting "permissions." Just check the boxes that apply.
c.) Reboot--the app will probably crash if you try to launch it without restarting your system. After the Kindle reboots, try the app to make sure it works. This method is how you move any app to the /system/app folder and make it work correctly (although some won't work if you do this).
Hope this helped. If you have anymore questions, go ahead and ask

Thanks for the instructions. (And sorry for the delay getting back to you). I didn't get a chance to try this until just now.
Unfortunately, I'm still not able to get this to work. I keep getting the Parse Error when I attempt to install the .apk. I double checked everything, and the permissions are fine, and I restarted the Kindle Fire, and still no luck. I can only think of two things that might still be the issue:
(1) I got my browser.apk from a Jellybean 4.2 version of Android, it is possible that it is too new for the Kindle Fire version. (Not sure where I could get an older version, though).
(2) Amazon may just not play nicely with normal .apk files.
Yea you usually get a parse error if its for a newer version of android.

Kindles run ice cream sandwich based os, I don't know offhand where you could get a copy without having to download a ROM and extracting the apk from it without flashing it.

Someone uploaded the stock AOSP Browser.apk on the Kindle Fire HD Themes & Apps forum a while back, which was pulled from a phone running ICS or something. I attached it at the bottom. I had it working fine on my Kindle when I was running stock OS. All I did was move it to my SD card, push it to "/system/app," and grant it root permissions. I had to do it this way, as it would force close if I tried to install it the normal way.
And Amazon does play nice with some .apk files. It's just a matter of finding the right ones. Unfortunately, you can't know until you install it as to whether or not it works or not.

Thanks. I somehow or another missed the notification of your reply, so just now got around to downloading and attempting to install this version of browser.apk. Unfortunately, it doesn't work for me, either. It fails in a different way, gets part way through the install process and then just gives me a message saying "Application not installed." *sigh* Ah well. Thanks for your help anyway!
