On my KFHD 7" I've used several of the CM builds, including the latest posted on 7/13. So far NONE of these builds allow me to run HBO GO from the Google Play store. I get a force quit immediately upon launching the app. This may just be a known bug, but I haven't seen it noted in any change logs.
Interestingly enough, if I run the Kinology ROM, which is based on the stock Amazon OS, I can download the HBO GO Tablet Edition from Amazon, and THAT one works fine. I haven't found a way to grab the latest APK and install manually (since Amazon Apps now considers the Kindle an incompatible device), but I suspect if I could do that I'd be fine.
Can anyone offer advice or at least confirm that the app refuses to work?
Thank you.

Hi all,
I've rooted my Kindle Fire 7" HD but I'm unable to install any apps via the Google Play Store. SuperSU has been install successfully & I've also upgraded it to v1.3. Root Checker Basic confirms that I do indeed have root permissions. I followed the tutorials posted by @prokennexusa & the app loads up fine. But when I attempt to install anything, the Play store closes. When I attempt to reopen it, it will close straight away. I have to clear the app's data before I can load it up again.
I had done this previously on a different Kindle & all was fine so it's probably me missing a step. Anyone got any ideas on what that missing step might have been? I'm running v4.1.10 of the Play Store. Is this the latest?
Cheers for any tips you can give me,
Lee
Make sure you're using the right GAPPS for your OS. I recommend flashing Kinology ROM, as it includes GAPPS and SuperSU. It's just stock with extra features, so it works really well.

Reboot your kindle some times GPlay hasn't configed
Okay, I'm rooted, have TWRP installed and I was able to flash CM 10.2 and Gapps successfully. But after initial setup etc, when I downloaded and installed the Kindle Reader app from Google Play, it will not startup. It crashes within a few seconds.
Is there a specific version of the app I should be using? My wife will not be a happy camper if she can't read on her tablet. Odds are, I will be buying her a new one if I can't fix this.
Thank you in advance for any help given.

Same problem happened to me mate. i found out that when you install Gapps, the kindle reader app, kindle photo app, and amazon appstore will not work, unfortunately. i solved the book problem by signing into my amazon account on my PC, buying the book there, then transferring it to my kindle. If you go to manage kindle, and go to "actions" on the book you buy, one of the options offers to download the book file to your PC, then transferring it to your kindle.
good luck

Have you tried updating to CM 11? Also go to settings, apps, all, scroll down to the Kindle App, clear cache and data and force stop it and then reopen it.

Thanks for the suggestions, but I restored my TWRP backup and went back to rooted stock. The Kindle reader app works and my wife has access to the apps she wants. She' s happy so that's good enough for me.
hello, as mentioned I'm rooted on the stock OS (system version 7.4.9 user 4952320). Due to the issues with kindles and google play services that started around April or so I have play services stuck at version 7.0.97. I haven't had the need to use the tablet lately and noticed today that the youtube app will not work due to the unupdated google play services. Is there a way to use youtube again on the tablet?
On a side note, I noticed that there was an update for Kindle fire HD 7'' to version 7.5.1 ? I didn't notice until I was searching the forums due to my tablet not telling me to update.
Have you got twrp recovery installed?
I didnt need twrp, as i just wanted root on stock, but decided over the weekend its probably better to have a custom rom, so followed hascode's instructions to get CM 12.1 on it, making this question no longer necessary =P Thanks for your concern
What happens when you come to update cm 12.1?twrp recovery would allow you to flash nightly updates to CM12.1
hmm? there's no problem updating cm. I was just on stock amazon fire os, which started to have problems with google play services , thus not able to start youtube app. So i gave up on fire os, added twrp, and CM 12.1, which seems to be working fine with youtube.
The Hulu app on my HD+ running CM11 (and subsequently CM12.1) recently stopped working following an upgrade to a newer apk version. I have now been able to determine that the most recent version of the Hulu apk that would still work on CM11 is 2.19.3.202273 (downloadable from here).
Just thought I pass this info along to other Hulu users who might run into the same problem.
I have not gone back to re-flash CM12.1 on my HD+ to try this apk version on CM12.1, so it would be great if we have someone with a HD/HD+ running CM12.1 who can test it and report back here.
CM 14.1
This old post really helped me out. Installed CM 14.1 on my old Nook HD + and was hoping to now have an Android device that would let me take advantage of my Hulu Live TV account. Tried forever to get a Hulu app on my now reformatted Nook to no avail. At least with your link, I was able to get the Old Hulu + APK back and access archived content. Would love to find a way to access a newer version of the Hulu app with Live TV, but something tells me that even with my device running Nougat, it's just not going to work on the Nook HD +.
So , using this website I managed to install cyanogen mod, the version was equivalent to android 6.0.1 but the problem is that it came with root controls, no matter what I did the root controls made Fire Emblem heroes and Fate/Grand Order crash.
To be exact FGO and FEH can check even if root is disabled and hidden if its present or not. And I'd like very much to play those two games on the kindle fire HD 7"

I am still trying a few things.
With Fate GO, apparently the root errors (60 and 61 if I remember right) are not always triggered by actual root. Error 36 (I think) was ADB.
So it seems to go down a list. If it checks build type, well even the last official CM nightly was test-keys.
I currently have it partially working on stock os. It loads up and actually starts. These devices were not Google Certified so they were not shipped with PlayServices installed.
It's been quite awhile since I had to manually install PlayServices so, it might take me a little while.
Finding the right files for API 15 and what order to install them.
Once I get it running on stock I'll move back trying custom roms.
Screenshots from current setup.
