On a semi related topic. For anyone who has used the app, is it good? How does it compare to the Netflix app?

It works pretty well. The touch screen interface is easy to use. The output is ok - certainly not crisp HD (even with HD content) but perfectly watchable.
( I no longer have my KFHD ).
could someone send me the apk, i wanna try, the app Runs on my Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 with Android 4.0

The download for the System.img recovery tool contains what looks like a system dump of the KFHD. It has various APKs in it but none of them have Lovefilm in the name. I suspect that it isn't as simple as there being a "Lovefilm Instant APK", I think that the Lovefilm Instant functionality is probably integrated into one of the other APKs.

Thanks. I'll download it and see if I can locate it. I think someone else mentioned the file name in another thread. Do you know however if this system.IMG is from the UK?
ive downloaded the system.img too. but i am not able to open/unpack it via unyaffs or any other tool. How can i extract it?

It's an ext3 or ext4 image I think. However, the update from Amazon's site here is just a zip file, you can extract the .bin file with a standard unzip tool.
Thanks a lot! I was able to unpack the archive but i could not figure out wich apk the lovefilm app is. if it is the "main" amazon video app, it doesnt run on my nexus 7 ;(
I believe the file we are after is atvandroidclient.apk. However it doesn't work just pops an error when loading and after some Google if I am correct no one has so far managed to port it across from the kindle fire hd to another device as of yet due to dependcies

So i have a Kindle Fire HD 8.9" from the US. Im trying to get it working in the UK.
I have so far managed to swap the US app store application for the UK one. Thats was easy.
The problem is, the lovefilm streaming app isnt available via the Kindle store, this is likely because either of both:
a) normally the Kindle comes packaged with it anyway.
b) its not standalone and has dependancies (as you suggest above).
Id like to try and get it on my 8.9" and see if it works or not. So, how to go about this?
I could try downloading the whole system update onto the device - 7.2.3 for the 7" version in the UK. The version i have on the 8.9" is 8.1.3 from the US. So the first question is, does anyone know if the 7" version 7.2.3 is compattible with the 8.9" device?
If not then is it possible to copy across just atvandroidclient.apk and try that? How would i do that and can it be done without rooting or whatever?
What are the risks?
The app is now available in the Play store. I could not download it due to Google's agresive processor checking but found it here ... ###
apkse.com/get/2J79bTjL/comlovefilmandroidapk
It seems to work fine on my Sanei N10 quad core.
Thanks, but that's for Lovefilm by Post. Doesn't allow streaming, which is what we are all after. The By Post app has been around a long time.

Yes the Play Storewold probably be the number one reason everyone roots. There are thousands of apps and a lot of them are free!! Unlike the sorry Amazon store. There are many other things you can do when you root as well, such as: speed your kindle up, change to a different ROM, custimize basically everything and the list goes on and on and on.. you get the point. You better just make sure you do your research and then research some more.. it really helps with understanding this hole root thing.. here's a great link that someone provided to me when I first started and I bricked my device..http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1552547:good::good:

If you read that LINK I posted it tells you that it is very very hard to totally brick your device which is true, TRUST ME lol. I have change a lot on my Fire and have been in a few "brick" situations, but you take a deep breath and figure things out. Aptoide is great but some of the apps won't work unless you change the permission settings and therefore you need to be rooted...

slg1986,
This is a great question, I had to take a moment and put in our 1 cent.
Why should I leave the Kindle Stock:
Pros -
1. The Kindle will remain stable since you are unable to perform any modifications
2. You get custom Ads based on your purchasing behavior - some people do like this feature
3. Restoring is very easy from a Factory Reset
4. No need to buy backup software, the Kindle is Backup to the Amazon Cloud
5. You received full Amazon Support
6. Warranty remain valid no chance of invalidating the warranty
7. Everything is integrated, no need to spend time customizing
Cons -
1. You are stuck with the Factory Carousel
2. You can not customize the Kindle
3. You can not choose an Alternative Video Provider
4. You can not choose an alternative Book Provider
5. You are stuck with ads whether you like them or not
6. You are stuck with Amazon Apps Store so most Apps cost you $$
7. No custom Launcher
8. No way to sync Ubuntu One MP3's
9. Much more.......
Why should I Root The Kindle -
Pros
1. Fairly Easy to Root
2. You can change the Lock Screen
3. You can change the Wallpaper to Anything you like
4. You can eliminate the Kindle Carousel
5. You can change the Icons to match you mood
6. You can sync you Apple iTunes to the Kindle
7. You can install Flash Support
8. You can view YouTube
9. You can use the Google Apps
10. You can install Movie players like MX Player and VLC
11. You can create on the Kindle
12. Very hard to damage the Kindle and Brick it
13. You can install a wide array of Internet Browsers
14. You can change the Camera App
15. You can install Graphic Editing Software
16. Soon there will be a wide array of custom ROM's available
17. You can remove the Amazon Garbage that slows the Kindle down
18. You can add tweaks like Persano Tweaks
19. Much More.............
Cons
1. You can void your Warranty if not careful
2. Some people find Rooting the Kindle Difficult
3. That is all I can think of at the moment.................
At the moment, are there any custom roms being developed for the Kindle Fire HD 7"?

Android Custom ROM - Kindle Fire HD

obscurehaven,
Yes, there are a number of developers working on different projects, by Mid 2013 we will see a few CM10 ROM's, AOSP ROM, Ubuntu ROM and a few others I am sure. Development is going slow due to some backend issues around the Kindle HD 7".
The Kindle Fire 2 has a solid CM10 ROM already developed and another person is working on a AOSP ROM, I am sure there is more.
The Kindle Fire 8.9" has a solid developer working on CM10 and another working on AOSP. Again, I am sure there are other developers.
These are the one I know about, there are plenty I do not know about, more to come..............:good:
Good Evening All
I am after a bit of help/advice
Ok, I have a Kindle fire HD 7inch
I have [11/15] BETA CM10.2 + 3.0.50+ KERNEL installed and gapps-jb-20130813-signed installed
I have no issues using any of the google apps all happy with that.
The issue i have is that when i download Amazon app store it downloads ok, it installs ok
But when i go to run the App it crashes every time no matter what
I have installed via email, downloaded from amazon, sideloaded, copied from computer to tablet via ES file explore
installed from drop box, all instales looked like they installed ok.
i have tried deleting the cache still no joy, i have deleted the KFHD from amazon still no joy
i can log into my amazon account via the WWWeb so my account works
I was wondering if i had missed somthing out or have not installed somthing i should have
thank you in advance
Paul
Having the same issue. Tried redownloading and that didn't help. Ended up browsing for an older version and that did work. Just don't update it when prompted or back to force close you go.
Seems to work fine on my S4,just not on Cm 10.2 for some reason.

Try downloading it from Amazon while on your tablet http://www.amazon.com/gp/mas/get/android If it does not work then I can upload the official Amazon APK I am using which is not the super new one. I have a habit about waiting to see how an updated app gets reviewed before updating and using Titanium to back up first just in case the update messes the app up.

This seems to be an issue for everyone across the board using cyanogenmod. Do any devs know what's going on here? I currently can no longer get any version of the Amazon store back on mine, new or old. I took the version 7 update when I was prompted and it, of course, doesn't work. Well, I didn't have a backup of version 5 anywhere so I grabbed an apk of 5, tried to install that back, and it force closes as well. Sucks bad considering a few of the games I have installed require the Amazon store to run even if you've linked them to Google Play.

I wiped the old data and updated to the new Amazon App and it FC. Flashed my nandroid with the previous version and no issues. This is not the first time the Amazon APK has gone haywire. I don't think it has anything to do with CM.

I downloaded the new Amazon APK and it does FC. Flashed a nandrod and have the last version and it works just fine. So I would remove the new Amazon APK and use SD maid or Titanium to wipe any old data too. Then you can try installing last version Amazon APK I uploaded to my drop box. This should fix the force closing issue. Make sure to reboot after installing if needed and uncheck Amazon apk in your sandbox if it's lit up so it can access your info.

Good Morning All
I have managed to sort it.
i had made a back before flashing using titanium and it looks like it kept the backup folder on the SD card
so i reinstaled titanium after flash and restored my amazon account rebooted and is now installed, i also
took off a couple of folders of apps that are no longer installed no program managed to show me these
anyway thank you for your help

So if I am reading this correctly, you went back to an older version via restoring your backup?

Hi
RedsonRising
I originally had free kindle installed and made a backup with titanium when i put on CM10.2
it seems that nothing at all was wiped on the card so when i installed titanium again
it showed the backup so i installed from the titanium back and that seemed to fix it
i installed the program plus data files
regards
Paul
Well, I've now tried everything to get the Store back. I've cleared data, ran SD Maid, sifted through the root directories looking for anything related to a previous install that might be causing conflict, converted to a system app..nothing is working. I get a force close on version 5 and 7 both. I've even upgraded the tablet to CM 11 and still getting the fc. Help!

That's how Titanium works. As long as you don't wipe the data from your File Explorer (or write over it if you only allow one backup) it will be there for ever. That's how those of us that jump ROM's keep our info.

Yea, if you have Titanium, just restore the app data to that app any you're back to the previous version in two seconds.

So that solves the problem short term (I installed an older version), but it doesn't solve the issue of not being able to run the latest version. Granted it may not offer any improvements we can't live without, but down the line it could cause issues.

Amazon AppStore and Amazon KindleApp now work
I am on an Amazon Kindle Fire HD 7" running CM 11 from Hashcode's latest release on xda app-developers two weeks ago. The Amazon Kindle App would force close. I tried every combination of data and cache clearing with shutdown and restart then reloading the Amazon AppStore and Kindle App.
I had success after using LinearEquation's older version of the Amazon AppStore, with a simple side load. Prior to the load I cleared the data and cache and then removed the Amazon AppStore and Amazon Kindle App. After installing the older version of the Amazon AppStore from LinearEquation and the current version of the Amazon Kindle App from Google Play Store... Success! both work.
To confirm it was the new version of the AppStore causing the problem and not the Kindle App, I then updated the Amazon AppStore and the AppStore forced close again; however the Kindle App remained working.
Thanks for making the download available! Returned my Kindle to an Amazon reader without the annoying Amazon OS.

Edit 1/19/14: Hashcode has released a new build that has apparently fixed the issue with the amazon apks.
His newest build (as of today) is here for KFHD7 2012 http://goo.im/devs/Hashcode/tate/cm11//cm-11-20140117-UNOFFICIAL-tate.zip
And here for KFHD 8.9 2012 http://goo.im/devs/Hashcode/jem/cm11/cm-11-20140117-UNOFFICIAL-jem.zip
I encourage all to try this build (or the newest one) first. I'll still leave these apks here just in case for the mean time.
As posted by KyleMac_ for rooted devices
editing the build.prop is working,too. At least with the amazon kindle apk (that's what I've tried).
go to
/system/build.prop
rename
ro.product.manufacturer=amazon

You can back them up with Titanium Backup, uninstall the apps and then restore them with Titanium Backup. That works on crashing apps but not all apps in the app store are compatible with the Kindle series.

You don't need to make this a system app. Try removing completely and re-downloading it to the download portion of the internal SD card. Then open it. It should work just fine unless something from CM is preventing the app from working properly.

You're welcome.
I can confirm editing the line ro.product.manufacturer in the build.prop works. Just change after the = to whatever you want. I used "Amzn". Tested on KFHD7. As has been stated, always make a backup of your build.prop before changing anything.

Once you put a custom ROM on your tablet, the "kindle Edition" apps will not work anymore. The short answer is you have to find a non Kindle edition app.

The newest CM drop from Hashcode has change the prop build to make it an Android. If the newest build is used then the newest APK's can be used and the ones I uploaded are no longer necessary. I updated the OP when the new CM 11 was dropped and opted to leave the old APK's up only for those that may experience some random issue. As far as the downloads, they work fine. Not sure what to say about that.
Hi, first thread and all that - so just a quick question:
Often when I click links (on websites) in Chrome to apps, it wants to take me to the Amazon app store when the link I clicked is supposed to go to the Google play store. Is there any way to change the DEFAULT app store so it always follows the link to Google play rather than Amazon apps?
I rooted my Fire btw (I think so any way - I followed a youtube tutorial to download a few files to install google play), sorry for lack of details rooting is new to me this is my first Android device.
Thanks for any help

Often when I click links (on websites) in Chrome to apps, it wants to take me to the Amazon app store when the link I clicked is supposed to go to the Google play store. Is there any way to change the DEFAULT app store so it always follows the link to Google play rather than Amazon apps?
I rooted my Fire btw (I think so any way - I followed a youtube tutorial to download a few files to install google play), sorry for lack of details rooting is new to me this is my first Android device.
Thanks for any help

I'm not sure which app controls that, but I have most amazon apps frozen with titanium backup pro, and now play store just opens

Thanks. I'm not aware of the titanium backup pro, will it conflict with anything else or do anything that can't be reversed?

There is a couple of options
Free;requires PC/Mac/Linux and root Adb Shell Pm Hide as much bloat and amazon as you can by k3ll0gs
$5.99:App no pc needed, freeze withTitanium Backup PRO Key use app list in
5.0.1 Bloatware & other Safe to remove Apps
both methods have the same result, the app stops running, and can be restarted if needed
as long as you don't stop a system critical app
There are free apps that can freeze other apps. Are they not good in you opinion ?

There are a few free options, I haven't used them, but they should be fine

I installed one of the app freezing apps from google store, but when I tried to freeze an app (the amazon app store) it said I need root access. So obviously I hadn't rooted it, just installed the google play store (never had an android device before so rooting and it's terminology is completely new to be sorry). I followed a tutorial on youtube (I think it was a rootjunky video) and thought I was rooting the device, but obviously I just installed the google app store.
I'm not a techno-virgin, but I think I need to do more research on rooting and see how easy it is to reverse etc, so thanks for your help, but for now I guess I just have to deal with getting defaulted to the amazon app store.

Basically there are two ways to root, right now
Modified Boot.img
Amazon Fire 5th Gen 2015 Root by Awesomeslayerg
Root Video With Launcher changing Instructions by Rootjunky
Custom Recovery Method
[Video]Install SuperSu using a Custom Recovery
Unrooting is can be done from the supersu app that is installed in the rooting process, but unrooting is different than returning to full stock.
To restore full stock see [HOWTO] How to restore firmware on your device + Amazon Firmware by Awesomeslayerg
Settings > Apps & Games > Amazon Application Settings > Appstore > Don't Open

It would be nice if it was that simple wouldn't it ytsejam! Unfortunately all that does it turn off being able to open ANY external store links, it doesn't then redirect them to the google play store. It would seem the ONLY option is to root your device.
Hi,
I'm rooted.
I try to install Google Now Launcher from Play Store but when i start the app says that i need to download a more recent "App Google" from Play Store.

how did you do to delete app shop
I am looking for the same information.
Previously, you just had to Rename /system/app/MarketIntentProxy.apk to something like MarketIntentProxy.bak and you would be able to have apps launch Google Play Store.
On 5.3.1, the apk is not in /system/app/ or may have been renamed?
