After installing the latest CM 10.1 nightly I cannot run the Kindle Reader app. It starts to open and then closes every time. I have cleared cache/data, uninstalled, installed from Amazon App Store, nothing has worked. Anyone else have this issue? Any suggestions?
Snap. Splash screen and spinner, then exit.
Works fine in my stock/10.1 sd hybrid though it seems a bit slow to load books.
I'm getting the same thing on mine. Tried uninstalling, clearing cache, etc., nothing works.
Something different between 0813 and 0817 update. Was working before that update. It is a CM thing I'm guessing. I haven't researched what's happening with other devices.
The latest 10.1 update I see is 0813. That's the one I'm using and the Kindle app doesn't work. Are you saying it works on the 0812 update?

Yes, there is something different. 8/17 is CM10.2 which is known to not work with the Kindle app.

Please look at the build.prop file. I am recalling that a change in device ID was made somewhere that I saw in the changelogs.
Would be strange that the Nook HD cannot run Kindle app and is also supposed to be not compatible with the Nook Reader either (it does work fine with NookR).
Just ran OK on 0819 update NookHD.
But, still doesn't run on the HD+

Those 8/19 builds are still CM10.2. Are you saying the 8/19 hummingbird nightly CM10.2 runs the Kindle app ok? Or are you running bokbokan's CM10.1 on the HD?

Are we any closer in getting Kindle working on CM10.2 or even the latest version of 10.1?
For a device which is sold as an e-reader it would be nice to read my Kindle collection on it.
If you need the Kindle app working, it seems the best best is 8/12 10.1 cm as 8/13 is not working as well as the 10.2 cm roms. I am not sure if that has changed.
Kindle app is still not working in 10.2 as of the 8/26 nightly. I've been running the 10.1 8/12 nightly for kindle app and Bluetooth keyboard support.
Sent from my BN NookHD+ using Tapatalk 4
Still nothing...
Same with the version of 08/27.
On my nook, after installing the new nightly, I can start the Kindle app once, I log in and it imports my books.
After that it crashes while trying to start again.
I'm on CM 10.2 24/08 and its not just Kindle that has this problem but also the Amazon shop app as well. Both these start and then force stop - perhaps the issue is something specific to Amazons set up in their apps??
I have a work around for anyone on the latest CM builds. You will need a browser which has it's useragent set to something other than mobile/tablet/android (I have Dolphin permanently set to Desktop for sites which don't play nicely) and visit https://read.amazon.com/
All your books available with Whisper Sync.

Had the same problem - uninstall and reinstall solved it.
@artesa: Seems only to work with books bought from Amazon - I could not see any of my uploaded documents (i.e. books).
Also no change in today's nightly: Kindle still crashes.

I'm encountered the same problem with FF force closing after opening using version 17.0.
Once my Kindle Fire charges back up I'm going to try the nightly builds and if those don't work going to older releases from mozilla's ftp mobile directory.
Sorry I can't post a direct link - I'm too new.
Current setup is an unrooted KFHD 8.9.
Just looking for browser that will let me tweak an ad blocker and javascript to my liking.
I will let you know if any work.

Installed the current nightly off Mozilla's site - download was called fennec-20.0a1.multi.android-arm.apk - and so far so good even if it feels a bit laggy.
Trying to import bookmarks crashed it for me.

I checked my KFHD but couldn't not find any googleservicesframework.app (looked in /system/app and elsewhere). I tried both releases and nightlies (10, 18 and 19). None of them worked.
My KFHD is a rooted 7" model with the Play Store app installed.
Somewhat off-topic: Why does the Play Store tell me that Chrome is not compatible with my device? Does anybody know what it requires that the KFHD doesn't have without diving into the androidmanifest.xml file of the APK? Thx!

Hi, I managed to succesfully root my Nook HD thanks to the excellent tutorials here.
Everything is running smoothly except for video.
A mp4 file which was running smoothly on my stock Nook and VLC now stutters and shows artefacts.
I tried MX player as well and that now has the same problem.
I changed the settings around but nothing helps.

If you install CM10.1 to internal memory, no. It replaces stock and those things only work on stock. However there is an Android version of the Nook reader app that works on CM10.1.
But if you install CM10.1 to SD, stock is left intact and you can dual boot.

It is the Android Nook Reader app that is usually on Play Store. But unfortunately Play Store blocks installing it on the HD/HD+. The solution is to get it on the 1mobile.com store.

I concur. I used the dummies thread and I got it done on the 2nd try. It's a tad scary but if I can do it anyone can.
Apologies upfront. I'm the first person to grumble when someone posts an obvious question, but I've been searching this forum and Google for hours looking for an answer.
What is the latest version of CM 10.1 and/or another rom in which the Amazon Kindle app works?
I know it doesn't work in CM 10.2 and there's a date in CM 10.1 when it "broke".
I have a friend who just published a book and I'd like to download/buy it.

Kindle app works on my HD running 10.2 nightly and stopped working on HD+ with 10.2. 08/12 I think was my change date. Both devices are setup the same way so this is a mystery to me.

Making that fix (using File Manager Editor) allowed me to keep Kindle open (rather than crashing), but now it won't allow me to connect to sign in. My Nook HD+ (16GB) registered (with my Kindle account) before I updated to 10.2, but that seems to have been forgotten.
verygreen has found the problem. Kindle app prelinks with an internal library which causes the problem.

Mine works now (with the heapsize 512M, haven't tried 402M) -- I think it was having problems connecting to the server. When I updated to the new nightly, it reset it to 448M, so I had to manually adjust it. Hopefully it will be in the update today or tomorrow.
My Chrome still crashes quite a bit, though. Anyone else have that problem?
The app store was staying signed in until updated to CM 10.1 rc2 the other night. Not a real big deal, but a pain if I want to use a couple of apps that I got from Amazon, have to sign in to app store & leave it running in order for apps to work.
On a good note I have not had any sudden reboots since updating which is very nice.
Any suggestions on the Amazon app store issue or is anyone else having this problem?
Thanks in advanced

One of the things that was changed in both the nightlies and RC2 is a setting in /system/build.prop called dalvik.vm.heapsize. It was changed to help the Kindle app. It was changed to a value of 402M for the HD+ and 384M for the HD. You can try changing it to 512M to see if that helps.
Edit: I just went back and looked at the prior HD setting and it was at 384M before, so I doubt that is the issue. But it won't hurt to try the new setting.

I had the problem with the Amazon appstore not staying logged in with 10.1.3RC2. I reverted to an earlier version (7/12, Unofficial, in my case) without doing a reset (I did wipe cache in CWM). It seems to be back to normal. I also had problems connecting to network shares with BS Player over SMB in the RC2 version. That was fixed by reverting too. I didn't see any other network issues.

Yes, but you need to go back to the right gapps too. When you were running 9/8, you had the correct version of gapps installed, right? CM10.2 takes a different version than RC2.
