I have just rooted my kindle fire, and i was looking in to getting the Play Store...
I followed Stopxwatch's instructionls, but I've had a few issues:
1. I cant move the files to the /system/app folder, and I cant edit them (THEY DID INSTALL SUCCESSFULLYTHOUGH)
2. The Market without the updated play store(The older market, not the play store) works, but crashes when ever I try to download an app.. (I DID reboot my kindle after installing the vending.apk file, and before opening the the app)
3. When I updated the market to the latest play store, the store crashes.. I've tried rebooting multiple times, but it doesnt seem to work.
Can someone please upload the latest Vending.apk file and Gplay file for me
It will not work without moving to system...
Explain why you can't move them?
If you just can't access system you need to give your file manager root access...
I like es file explorer the root options are in settings to root settings and check all

I can't get google play music to install. At first I was getting an error that the previous package was not signed. Please uninstall previous version. But I could never find it in my apps to uninstall. I manually deleted music.apk from system/app folder. Now I get an error that says the application is already installed but I can't find it anywhere. How can I manually remove this app without have to wipe my Xoom?

You uninstalled the basic music app. Not qoogle play music.
If you don't use the basic android music app, I'd just leave it out. With a file explorer like Root Explorer, go to data/app and find the Google music app. That is the one you need to remove. Delete the apk file and then go to Google play and install Google music. Hope this helps!
Thanks for the response. I went there, but I don't have a apk for music or google play music
Any other thoughts?

So I have google play music on my phone also, and I cannot find an apk for that either in data/app. Could there be another location for the file?
Do you have a tibu for your tablet?
I cannot think of any other location
Are you running ICS?
If so you might have Google music disabled.
You can find it in all apps in settings on the bottom of the list.
If that's not the case, verify that it is deleted from system/app and data/app. The file name is com.google.android.music-1.apk

I know this thread is over 3 months old, but I ran into this same issue on my Galaxy Nexus after updating the custom rom I am running. To fix it I downloaded the Google Play Music app from here, renamed it to com.google.android.music-1.apk, then used my file manager app (File Expert) to copy it from my Download folder to the /data/app directory. After changing the permissions on the APK to match the others in the same directory, I rebooted my phone to a working Play Music application. Hopefully this helps someone who also experiences this problem.
So I just flashed this rom a little while ago. I like it. Its smooth and everything BUT my google market was force closing for a little while until I cleared the data/cache. That fixed the force close.
What I am wondering here is if the google play store will update from the market like it would on a stock rom? or How do I go about getting the play store over the google market...??? Anyone else having a similar problem with it?
I don't know if this is the correct answer or not, but it is what I did. I backed up Play Store in TiBu, switched to Eclipse and restored it from there. Otherwise mine did not update automatically.
Can someone post the google play apk

When you open the market it should automatically update to play
first time I installed Eclipse it did not update. Second time I installed it it did. Third time it did not. Go figure.

Someone, please upload the apk
Any idea what the APK name is? I looked in system/app but nothing jumped out at me... Or maybe the following link will help?
http://androidadvices.com/download-latest-google-play-store-v3516-apk-android-device/
Never mind! I had to use Root Explorer (first app I paid for) to find it. Goes in /data/app directory. Hope that works for you...
Actually you should just take the .apk file and place it in /system/apps using root explore or es file explore granted root access. Once you place it in the /system/apps folder and replace the current one do a power down then reboot. When phone gets reboot click on new Google Play icon and agree then all done.
Anyone know how to uninstall the google play store from rooted Kindle Fire HD?
I click on the app in the app drawer of KFHD, it seems like its hidden in the system folder and I am not sure what to remove from the system folder.
I want to uninstall it as it seems that the play store cannot detect my location and it only shows limited amount of apps (probably because it couldnt detect my location)
Titanium Backup is probably the easiest way to do it. You can download it from the Play store, but if it's one of the apps that aren't showing up for you, then you can find it on their main website too (you can download the APK there). I'd link you, but I haven't reached 10 posts yet. It should be the first result if you google Titanium Backup. If you want to get rid of it and everything associated with it, I believe you need to remove Vending.apk, Gplay#.#.##.apk (or Play), and GoogleServicesFramework.apk.

Pretty much spot on. But I just want to add that you'll also have to delete the dalvik cache before it completely goes away.

use a file explorer like es explorer go to settings give it superuser permissions go to the folder you saved it in and delete it
Your all wrong. Listen to how i did it.
So all u need is to use es file explorer. So u want to go into /system/apps and delete any previously installed google play stuff. Then go and find com.android.vendor.... I dont remember which folder this was in. Delete the file com.android.vendor... now ur finished... im thirteen and i am great at things that use roots:good:
Ok, so I set everything up on my computer and then ran the qemu root program. It went through all the steps, rebooted my kindle a few times and then at the end said I was rooted. It mentioned I may need to reboot.
So I got google play's apk on there and installed it but it won't open. It says "Google Play Store Has Stopped" everytime I open it.
So I put ES File Explorer on the kindle and went to the settings to check root. It doesn't work.
What am I doing wrong? It seems there are no guides to root the kindle fire 2 non hd, and all I could find were guides to root the kindle fire hd.
Please help
-Thanks

Just installing Google Play apk will not work. You have to install vending.apk/phonesky.apk as a system app. You can download phonesky.apk from link below. It is the new version of vending.apk, the play store instead of the market. Like the post above states move to system/app folder, change permissions to rw-r--r--, then install.
Also make sure GoogleServicesFramework.apk(link below) is installed, no need to install in system folder just normal install will work. If they still don't work just try re-installing. It took doing this three times one of the times I did it before it worked.

OK, I got google play to work and install apps via your help above.
But what's odd now is that I can't get root write access anymore. How on earth did that happen?
Anyhow, what I'd really like to do is replace the amazon launcher with a standard android one. Am I able to install cyanogenmod on this baby? Any links to aid me for that one or for any custom rom?
-Thanks

No custom roms as of yet. Hashcode has developed a way to get past the bootloader but still testing. So custom roms should be an option soon.
Use this link for new launcher:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1915493
Personally I prefer apex launcher, gives you a good ICS feel. Also you can hide the notification and nav bars to have full screen.
Ok, so ES file manager says I'm not rooted anymore, but google play store works and can install apps just fine.
What is going on? How do I get es file manager to let me r/w in the "root only" folders?
Also, how do I get the go or apex launcher to be the main launcher and to come up when I touch the home button?
-Thanks
Kindle Fire HD 7.2.3 rooted
Hi Guys,
I have successfully rooted my new Kindle FIre HD 7.2.3 with following method.
Root Step 1: Run Root MANY ANDROID! http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1886460.
Did not need to do the step 2 (Run Qemu automated root http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1893838. )
I can see super user in apps and i can mount /system as read/write using es filexplorer.
I had downloaded the following apk.
GoogleServicesFramework.apk
Vending.apk
Gplay3.8.17.apk
Installed GoogleServicesFramework.apk first and rebooted kindle fire hd.
Moved Vending.apk to /system/app with permissions of rw-r-r and installed from there.
I could see the market app in apps drawer but it does not start. Any idea ?
Thanks,
Dev

Update:
The Google Play store started working once I have used the GoogleServiceFramework.apk from following post.
http://www.androidauthority.com/kindle-fire-hd-7-inch-install-google-play-store-123353/
So I rooted a Kindle fire. Added Google framework. Put vending. Apk in system/app folder. I changed permissions. And installed it (I can now download apps and it goes nicely in the app manager for kindle). I tried to install gplay as the final step I get the error application not installed. I do not have a shortcut to get to Google play store. For me to run Google play store. I need to go in system/app directory reinstall vending. Apk and then I can go in app store immediately. Can someone tell me how to get a shortcut for this.
