Without play store you'll probably not get it working. Afirehds are really locked down, almost as bad as apple.

sideload
What I have been doing is sideloading. I will download the app onto my phone, backup the app with Astro File Manager, then move the apk to like a shared dropbox account. Once you have the .apk you can install the app. :good: Have you got the app yet? I skimmed through and didnt look.
I side load all day. I've frozen all of Amazon's apps and replaced a such of the system as I can. Using a different launcher I ow have an almost Android kindle lol

If that's vanilla "PBS KIDS Video (Kindle Tablet Edition)" then I can report that it works just fine on Nook HD+. I've added it to my amazon library, too bad we have to go around "incompatibility" (as amazon appstore reports) like that.
I wish there was more people interested in this app for other android tablets, we could start a petition to pbs or something.
Is there a way for me to download my "(Kindle Tablet Edition)" apps without owning a kindle device? like downloading it to an emulator of some sort and copying the apk over?

Yes it is. If you have the Amazon OS, you can use Amazon apps to install it. If you don't, good luck. I tried and it wouldn't even let me download the apk.

Clearly amazon doesnt want all amazon apps to run on other android devices (technically they all should). I sometimes think theyd prefer people not to know that kindle is an android device simultaneously promoting amazon appstore with android apps, depending on situation with profit in mind.

I ran into the same issues... I wonder if there's some loophole. Back when I initially tried it, I screwed around with build.prop to change the model name or something, but that didn't work. Oh well. I'll just have to use their mobile website.
No, if it is specified for a Kindle, a Kindle must download it. It won't even show up in the app store APK if it realizes your not using a Kindle.

So at one point wifi on the tablet went out and I got a browser page "Website not available"
http://pbskids.org/video?kindle
Seems like the whole app is nothing more than just a browser opening a website, which is still pretty cool because that way I can put the app into Kid Mode. I wish I could do that with video files on the tablet.
Is there anyone that could grab the reading rainbow apk off the kindle store for me? It would be great! Thanks. Also, anyone get the Amazon Video apk to work with custom ROMs? Any info would be great.

On all my other Android devices I can install apps from my laptop via the Play website. Can I not do that on my Fire HD even though it tells me I can, or am I missing something?

Ummmm. No, as far as I know. I don't see how or why this would work until the KF2 gets a real OS on it. Once it down, I do not see why it shouldn't. For now though, I don't know of any ways it's possible. Back to browsing on the device for you! [EDIT] I was wrong! The app is on my device. It was sitting in front of me for an hour or so when I turned it on to do stuff and found the app I pushed on it there! So it does work in theory, it may be slow for you, or some other issue, but it should work it seems!

Yes, this IS possible. I will look into it and post. It's a file you have to tweak, I did it before on tablets I just am completely blanking out since it's been a year or two. You will probably need something like RomToolbox. That's what I bought ages ago and use on every device I hack, just a personal preference but you will need a "build.prop editor".
Here use this app it will switch you device to make it look like a different device and allows you to download more apps.

** Work-In-Progress: Ubuntu Touch Preview is just that.. a PREVIEW. Do not complain about missing features, etc. The OS isn't nearly ready for primetime. **
THIS REQUIRES THE 2ND-BOOTLOADER/RECOVERY ALREADY BE INSTALLED ON YOUR DEVICE. IF YOU DON'T HAVE THAT, THEN START HERE:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2100963
Curious as to how the Ubuntu Touch Preview looks? Why not load it on your Kindle Fire 2 and see for yourself.
CHANGES:
[02/27] Fixed the UI DPI settings. Needs to re-flash following the instructions below.
Instructions [CHANGED 02/27]:
1. Make a Titanium Backup and/or backup in recovery of your current Android. This preview is fun to play with but not a replacement for something as developed as CM 10.1
2. Download the Kindle Fire2 Mini-Android base for Ubuntu Touch and place it on your device:
[02/27] http://goo.im/devs/Hashcode/otter2/ubuntu-phablet/phablet-20130227-otter2.zip
md5sum: c7d61c7a4c1ecb8f4118e5916ad75417
3. Download the latest Ubuntu Touch Preview Filesystem .zip from Ubuntu:
http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-touch-preview/daily-preinstalled/current/quantal-preinstalled-phablet-armhf.zip
If the above link is broken, use this link for a full listing of the current build files (download the quantal-preinstalled-phablet-armhf.zip .. soon to be raring-preinstalled-phablet-armhf.zip):
http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-touch-preview/daily-preinstalled/current/
4. Reboot into recovery.
4a. Wipe system and Factory Reset (wipes data/cache).
IMPORTANT:
4b. Install the quantal-preinstalled-phablet-armhf.zip FIRST, and then the phablet-2013xxxx-otter2.zip SECOND.
5. Reboot and Enjoy
NOTE: The preview comes pre-loaded with several users in the login screen and they have data to browse around with. Move to the "Guest" account and tap on area where it tells you to login.
WHAT WORKS:
Display
Touch screen
WHAT DOESN'T WORK:
There's so much that is still being implemented into the Touch version of Ubuntu, that this list could get pretty long.
[FIXED 02/27] Need to adjust the GRID_UNIT_PX in /home/phablet/.bashrc to be slightly smaller so that the on-screen keyboard fits correctly.
Oddly no WIFI yet. Still troubleshooting.
No sound
Barely any sensors other than touchscreen work. IE: no rotation, etc. Ubuntu WIP issue.
No HD codecs (still being worked on) Ubuntu WIP issue.
No screen timeout / auto blank -- becareful when walking away from the device. Need to press the power button to turn the screen off. Ubuntu WIP issue.
RELATED UBUNTU TOUCH LINKS:
(Some of these describe how to install it on devices -- you can ignore those instructions and follow the above for the Kindle Fire 2)

Release Notes: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Touch/ReleaseNotes

Just tried this out. Very cool but looks big for screen size. Maybe could change screen density. But very neat. Is this the closest to tablet interface it gets?

It shouldn't be that big if you flash the filesystem first and then the phablet-######-otter2.zip afterward (it fixes the DPI setting in ubuntu).

Oh yeah you said no sound but sound worked for me. 4got how i turned up the volume though. The option seemed to disappear...
Very cool. Downloading now on my slow arse DSL. Will update this post with any comments.
Much man love Hashcode!
Edit: ok, back on sgt7.
I found the OS to have great potential and many of the ideas for the interface seem cool. That being said- i felt really far away from the core system and disappointed that i cant even find a basic terminal app so without ssh'ing from my pc.. As many people have said on these forums the biggest thing missing is some kind of settings program.
This REALLY DOES have potential though. I'm sure once the port-a-thon slows down and everybody has the hardware working ubuntu will show us a bit more (i hope!).
Thanks again Hashcode! Great work so far. I look forward to seeing your AND ubuntu's updates.
And to the common man (like myself, i guess lol):
Don't crap your pants on the install. It takes an eternity to extract the tarball.

This is an excellent design and the fluidity of the OS this early on is amazing. I'm looking forward to later on when there's more development. I might try porting this to my galaxy exhibit lol. Excellent work hashcode.
Thanks Hashcode, Just hope T Mobile GS3 gets this going as well so I can have it on both. If not I'm gonna get myself a Nexus 4. Just looks awesome.
I must be doing something wrong.
This boots, but I just get the front screen with "Search" a "Mail" icon, "Sound" icon, "WiFi" icon, "TIME", then a big circle with "14 tweets received." It doesn't respond to touch and there is no login screen.
I installed the phablet zip then the otter zip.
I wiped all cache's, data, system, internal storage, and did a data format.

Right now? Not too much... Its a preview
What will it he capable of? EVERYTHING a linux distro can do on the desktop eventually. It'll run android apps, linux apps, most windows apps through wine. You'll be able to write and compile code on it.
I mean.. To answer your question with another question:
What can you do on a full linux distro on your pc that you can't do on android?
Dont try to compare this to firefox os or others... This is NOT a skin. Its a different OS.

CyanogenMod, Paranoid Android, ChameleonOS and Kinology are all very stable. PacMan has a semi stable build if you download their ROM from 18 October. They are working hard but have not got a sabke build for KFHD yet. JellyBear was good but word is they stopped development so that one is as is. The choice is you're though.
Sent from my Amazon Kindle Fire HD running Paranoid Android using xda app-developers
I've used both Chameleon OS and CM10.2. I'd have to say that CM is way more stable. ChaOS was stable, but tended to have SystemUI crashes a lot, and sometimes I had to reboot in order to playback any sort of media. In my opinion you should go with CM10.2.
That's odd, I never have has a single issue with Chameleon OS. I'm using PA now because I like pie functions.

Yeah, I got sick of it. Plus, I didn't like the lime green color and the chameleon icon where the unlocker icon should have been on the lockscreen. I ended up just switching to CM10.2. Oh well. Nothing is perfect.

True that...
Best rom threads are not allowed. Try many roms and then decide what suits you better, i'm sure that by using a rom for a while you can definately tell if it is stable enough for you.
Hi everyone. New kindle user here. First off I would like to ask if my kindle is fully rooted? In the current version info it says current version 11.3.1.0_user_310084920. I followed the Root Kindle Fire HD "7" 20013 (KFSOWI) 11.3.1.0 tutorial but the kindle never restarted on its own after the rooting process I had to manually turn it off then back on. The kindle is the new 2013 version with no camera and 16GB of memory from Best Buy.
Also, is there anyway I can install the google play market on this? Or, if possible, dualboot a non kindle brand Android OS on this?
Hi Dan. To check for root I would suggest getting the app Esfile explorer and go into the settings and turn "Root Explorer" on. Then see if you can cruise through the root folders /data or /system and actually see files in those folders. If you see files inside those folders you should have root. Also, be sure to install a super su or superuser app to keep apps from Willy nilly acquiring root privileges.
As of this moment I am unaware of anyone getting google play to work properly. Lots of peeps have it installed but working as its supposed to? Mine isn't. I can browse but there is no searching or downloading. As for a non kindle brand os all I can say is that patience is a virtue. The boatloader its still locked down and I'm not aware if anyone has figured out a work around yet. Till then we are all waiting on the ingenuity of the devs. I would not suggest trying anything until we hear that fer sure someone got it. I for one don't want a brick. Cheers.
