Hi there!
I would like to ask you guys for the link to downloading the official Google Plays store for the Kindle Fire HD?
Please advice. Thanks.
p.s.s so far the links i found on the internet is either "unsuccessful" or is a dead link.
There's a link to latest Gapps in Hashcode's CM10 thread in development forum. When you click that link it shows a table of the Gapps past and present, just pick what you need :thumbup:
Edit: oh and you need to flash whatever you pick in recovery

Sorry can't find it.

What does everyone think?
Can we push the gapps to the KFHD like we did on the original Kindle Fire?

No luck. I'm thinking we need root first. Darn.
I'm pretty sure we'll have root shortly.

Matchless topic, it is very interesting to me )))) tHANKS forum.xda-developers.com tEAM Best regards
Try installing the .apk from the internet.
Im pretty sure root is needed to change permissions

Hi All,
First can I say thanks to all the info providers that have allowed me to root my recently purchased kindle fire HD 8.9, so that I can use it in the UK.
I've now got Google play and can download apps and am pretty delighted with myself :laugh: :laugh:
I have one question though. Since I’ve done this, its lost my registration with Amazon so my wife can’t get her books on it. Am i safe to re sign into Amazon or will this undo all my work?
Thanks in advance
I make no guarantees but i am rooted and signed in using fhd 8.9.
I used droid wall to block a few amazon services as well as deleting the certs file to prevent updates. The updates do apparently remove root but staying signed into amazon doesnt appear to cause any problems.
Search the forums for the various methods to prevent updates, then log in and see what happens.
Edit: yes i can download and read kindle books

To block updates find the folder /system/etc/security/otacerts.zip and rename to otacerts.bat

It doesn't matter what you rename it to. Renaming just allows the file/folder to not be recognized
Help please

I have been using the same method as here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1996873
The only problem I had was getting the ADB to speak. in the end I downloaded SDK and swapped the ADB batch file into the folder in the link above. It then spoke fine.
I can see it in the installed apps list but not the launcher - anyone know how I can get it running?
Thanks

Very interesting. You can see it in Installed Applications? What is the size? Mine is showing 3.55MB. If we can figure out the location of the APK then we can make progress. Do you know the name of the APK? I have attempted to search on my Kindle without any luck.

kc1,
Well, it is obvious you have a different version than we have. Now we have
to figure out where Amazon hides this little jewel. I will ask my development team.

Yeah, I'll try and copy the APK's for you. Give me a few hours to get access to my tablet and upload them.
I backed up a few of the System/App APK's from my KFHD7 (Stock 7.2.3) the other day, if it's the Kindle Book App APK you need you should be able to get it from here - https://docs.google.com/open?id=0B0MVZEbH3XVVX3VVZnFwT0ZXUjQ
Default name is KindleForOtter.apk

Hey,
I found a German thread here where the managed to root the latest Fire OS Version, see http://www.android-hilfe.de/amazon-...s-4-5-2-funktioniert-root-ja.html#post8436942. This post links to Firerooter (https://plus.google.com/+GranPC/posts/W412cQkHTCw) which is a tool to root the kindle HD 7. Isn't it possible to use this method to root also the HDX 7 with Fire OS 4.5.2? I'm asking cause I'm not so familiar with android developing, but maybe some experts here could answer the question and if possible port it for the HDX devices.
Greetings,
Alex
