When I try changing boot animations, I move bootanimation.zip to system/media and reboot and check system/media and then open bootanimation.zip a message appears " null system/media/boot animation.zip" how can I fix this or what am I doing wrong....I have root permissions and system is r/w

Hmm I haven't tried this on stock amazon os, but I suggest using ROM toolbox to do this instead of doing it manually. Oh and u can't preview the boot animation in the free version, and because I'm cheap I have 2 apps, one is ROM toolbox the other is beauty boot. Use these in conjunction and you can preview it after downloading a boot animation and putting it in the beauty boot folder on the sdcard. If u like it then use ROM toolbox to install. Hope this works out better than doing it manually.

Hello,
I've just rooted my KFHD7 and installed GO Launcher HD.
Everything is working fine but I don't seem to be able to access my kindle books from it. I can go back to the carousel and open books there, but when I try to open the Kindle reader application nothing happens?
Does anyone have any experience with this?
Any help would be appreciated thanks
same issue in Nova, no solution here either

Does that on mine, too. I made a app shortcut (it's the home app) to the Go desktop and just click the house icon to get back to Go after I've finished reading. Does that make sense? It's not ideal but it's ok for me for now.
I tried ADW launcher and the standard Go launcher and they had the same issue. Not tried any others though.
Edit: Oops, sorry replied to wrong thread, that's what I get for having multiple tab's open on xda, d'oh!
I have the same problem.. someone has solved it?
Go to system/app/ folder and move the kindle for otter apk (this is the amazon kindle version that comes with the kindle) so place this in a safe place like your download folder. Then restart kindle device. Once restarted install this one http://db.tt/G14HspkX Now any book thats not been purchased by amazon needs to go in the kindle folder not books folder.

Move the books to your kindle folder. And you need to change the app settings in. The. System folder.

Should not have to change anything. I actually just deleted the books folder the kindle folder is now your books folder. Books folder is from the original kindle app. Kindle folder is for the one you installed. You can copy and paste everything from the books folder to the kindle folder and all your books should transfer to the new app.

Is this method compatible with the latest Kindle apps on Google Play ?
Is it safe after the reboot ?
If yes, i think it will be good than anyone create a tutorial for a Working Kindle App on a launcher
Thanks
Yes this is good thru a reboot all this does is remove it as a system app and makes it a user app. If you install this over the system app then on reboot the kindle reinstalls its version back to the system. So when its just removed the system no longer looks for it. When the new kindle app is installed its installed to sdcard instead and is no longer bound to kindle system.
Also if you want it to work in kindle os as well as launcher keep the books folder and make sure you keep both books folder and kindle folder with the same exact files in them.

This is the same version as the one on Play Store.

Just create a shortcut to amazon kindle. Any books you have open and are actively reading will open automatically. Now to change books just go to home and pick a new one.
What I did was move the Kindle app out of the system folder with Titanium Backup (requires root). I may not have needed to do that because my next step was to "backup and uninstall" (again with Titanium Backup). I then went to Google Play/Market and re-installed from there. Now it works fine.
Update: you do have to change Kindle app from a system app to user app if you want to do a "backup/uninstall". Another option may to just to a "force remove", but I wanted to have the app backed up.
Hello all,
I have been using the site for reference for the last few days whilst i have been slowly getting to grips with my Rooted Fire HD and have to say that it seems like a great little community and some extremely helpfull members.
Just a quick question regarding changing the stock wallpaper on the Go Launcher theme?
I have downladed a couple of different Wallpaper Apps from the play store. They open and allow me to browse the images, when i chose one and click on the set as wallpaper button i get a notification telling me the app has stopped working?
Any ideas what I may be doing wrong or suggestins of how I can get this to work.
Thanks
Chris

Step 1: Download Live Wallpaper Picker(Dropbox) or Live Wallpaper Picker(Ubuntu One) save LiveWallpapersPicker.apk to your desktop
Step 2: Download AppWidgetPicker-1.2.3(Dropbox) or AppWidgetPicker-1.2.3(Ubuntu One) save AppWidgetPicker-1.2.3.apk to your desktop
Step 3: Using Windows Explorer, move AppWidgetPicker-1.2.3.apk and LiveWallpapersPicker.apk from your desktop to Kindle/Internal Storage/Download
Step 4: Using ES File Explorer, launch ES File Explorer. Open the ES File Explorer Settings, Choose Root Settings. Make sure you check all the options in Root Settings. Be sure to Allow the Superuser request to ES File Explorer.
Step 5: Using ES File Explorer with Superuser permissions. Move AppWidgetPicker-1.2.3.apk and LiveWallpapersPicker.apk from /sdcard/Download to /system/app
Step 6: Next long press on /system/app/LiveWallpapersPicker.apk select Permissions. Change the permissions to User: Read Write Group: Read Others: Read

So let's say you decide to download and install Wallbase HD Wallpapers, you would use Google Play Store to install the App and then:
HD Wallpapers Step 1: Download and Install the app, in this example we will use Wallbase HD Wallpapers. Pay close attention to the Wallbase HD Wallpapers logo and developer name, we will use this logo to find the Wallbase HD Wallpapers application in /data/app. We know the logo is a Gray box with a W in the middle and the developers name is Tim Clark
HD Wallpapers Step 2: After the install has completed, then use ES File Explorer or Root Explorer to navigate to /data/app, then slowly scroll down looking for the Gray Icon with the W in the middle. You will find it about 1/2 the way down and named com.citc.wallbase-1.apk
HD Wallpapers Step 3: Next long press on com.citc.wallbase-1.apk and select Move
HD Wallpapers Step 4: Move com.citc.wallbase-1.apk from /data/app to the /system/app folder
HD Wallpapers Step 5: Change the permissions of com.citc.wallbase-1.apk to match User: Read Write Group: Read and Others: Read

ChrisRandall,
Be sure you install the AppWidgetPicker-1.2.3.apk and LiveWallpapersPicker.apk in /system/app regardless of the other apps. These are Dependant services and are required to allow Go Launcher to work with Live Wallpaper and Widgets.
We will watch your thread for questions just in case you get stuck.
Thank you again, followed the steps this morning and I now have a few different wallpaper apps running perfectly!

Can't see background
Hello,
Thank you for the great instructional guide. I am however encountering an issue that I am unable to solve at this time. I have rooted my kindle fire HD 7.4.3 and installed the google play store (dependencies), and go laucnher / livewallpaperapk. My live wallpaper has been moved into the systems folder and granted the correct permissions as well.
Go launcher is able to see the wallpaper / allows me to set it, but the background remains black. I have thus far been unable to determine why the background remains black. I have followed the guides to the letter. Please let me know if you have any input regarding this issue.

Amazon disabled the ability for us to set wallpaper because the stock launcher doesn't use it and it was wasting ram. Goto this thread on page 8 and try my fix, it works on all kindles affected. I am trying to make my script safer but occasionally there are a few bricks related to low disk space, if that happens you will need a fast boot cable to restore the system partition, or if u already have twrp Installed u can just restore the backup my script makes.

Hi, my rooted Kindle recently un-rooted after I did a factory reset to fix an issue with the sound. I have re-rooted using both KFFA and B4 Binary methods but now don't seem able to use Es Explorer to move Go Ex into my system/app folder. I have downloaded from both play store and on-line into my downloads folder but when I attempt to move, I get permission denied. I can't change permissions in the download folder and Es is set up in root mode, SU is allowing access and the SD is mounted. Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong?

So, I cannot register my Kindle with amazon, therefore I have no access to amazon in order to get a file explorer. Without a file explorer I cannot see/find/open an APK file to install a program.
I was going to use the root here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2096888 , however the kindle I have is version 7.46, and i believe incompatible with that kfirstaide. So, How can I install a file explorer, to my kindle fire hd 7, without a file explorer?
again connecting to amazon via registration is not an option.

Hi to all... I have rooted my 7inch kindle fire HD, and it was working fine until I uninstalled the default launcher using titanium backup app downloaded from pay store. After uninstalling, I tried to restart the kindle, but from that time, whenever I restart the kindle, the 'kindle fire' logo is only displayed on the screen until the battery dies. Is there any way to just reinstall the default launcher app back to my kindle, when the screen displays only the logo?
Note: Before I uninstalled the default launcher, I copied the application from system/app to my internal memory.
Plz help
If you didn't have twrp recovery installed then no you have to get a fastboot cable and reflash a system image. On the bright side system images are prerooted, so you only have to reinstall the system apps again.
