I recently rooted my new Kindle Fire HD 8.9 purchased a few weeks ago using Bin4ry Tool. The root worked fine. I was able to load up Google Play and install apps.
I am now having a problem where I cannot access "Music" or "Videos" from the main Kindle Dashboard. It simply states "Unable to launch video." or "Unable to launch music.". Is this a known issue or are there any additional steps I need to take to restore this functionality? During the root I had to wipe the device and I have purchased music and movies that I would like to restore from the cloud if possible.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Matthew

Factory reset, then try again.
Can someone pls write a noob guide on how to install on KFHD 7? I've followed similar instructions to GO Launcher with Next but it doesn't seem to work. I'm not even sure if it's possible. thx!

You might need to assign it system status, which requires root. Some apps can't seem to run on the KFHD7 on Amazon's custom Android, but after rooting, and giving apps system permissions, they work.
You will need to purchase Next launcher. Then the best thing to do is install Kinology. Then the Next launcher will work flawlessly.
This is a Kinology HD using XDA Premium
Did the system thing and it didn't work. Gonna skip next launcher but thx guys.

I've simply downloaded it from play store and used it flawlessly on CM10, PA, and Kinology. I just install it as a regular apk, no making it a system app or anything. The only thing I did was go to app manager and delete data from Trebuchet. Worked every time (actually using it right now)

Does anyone no how to get all launchers working without putting them in system apps. I have a rooted kindle fire hd and after putting next gen launcher in system apps it put me in a boot loop. Don't want to risk that again. Do you know how to get all launchers working without putting them in system app folder. Kindle Fire HD 7 running 7.3.1 forked version ICS 4.0.3

Before kinology or CM or anything else, we were stuck at the point that you're at now, the ONLY option was to put a launcher into system app. Without loading a custom ROM, it simply isn't possible.
Hello All,
So, I have been away from Android for a bit (not my choice ), and it seems that I am unable to play movies and tv show from Google Play if I am rooted, or even using a permissive kernel. I just get the try again later, restart, blah blah error. Is this the norm nowadays? I googled/searched XDA and only found a thread about the HTC M8 where this was discussed (with no solution other than rootcloaker). I thought Google had had stopped that a while back?
Any informed input appreciated, as I like to use my own ROMs/kernels. I will logcat/dive deeper if no-one knows, and see how far that gets me...
Thanks!
Steve
I have never used Google Play for music or movies but I was wondering if you could still install apps or use gmail. Curious if its related to account. I'm sure it would be mentioned more often if it was a common problem , so very possible a setup issue!?

I am thinking along the same lines, as a search turned up basically nada, but I just wanted to rule out the obvious. Thanks!

Sure. You could always try a kernel or rom from the development section as a test and narrow it down. Wish I knew more of the inner workings, but still learning. hope you get it back on track. Its a very nice device.

Same problem on the S2. However, play books and music work great. Let us know if you discover anything, please?

Okay. Just restored this tab to stock. Google play movies worked fine. Then redid the root process and Google play movies don't work. Did some searching and apparently root breaks google play movies. Anyone?
I'm having the same issue... also couldn't get hulu to play anything. Twitch and Netflix work fine.. google play and hulu, no bueno. My Nexus 6p is rooted though and it plays hulu and google play movies just fine... so it's not necessarily root.. it's something with this tablet and root.
Suggested in the T917T Root thread: if you're running Xposed, give root cloaking a shot.

I think you're correct. I have a rooted LG G4 and play movies works fine on it. I'll see if I can get exposed and root cloak going.
Edit: no luck with root cloak.
Just an idea, no idea if it will work, but has anyone tried downloading a movie from google play movies while the device is rooted, and seeing if it plays? I'd do it myself, but my device currently isn't rooted, so could someone test that for me?

Yes. It seems to be this tablet, and perhaps Samsung generally...
I have been busy, but will root my tablet and try to figure it out.

You may be in luck. Try Chainfire's new v2.60 systemless root.
It may work as android pay also apparently works.

Do I have to be rooted already before I use the systemless root? Or will that root my device on its own? I'm a little bit confused on how to go about installing this.

System partition needs to be complete stock so no previous root.
Just install as you would any other supersu zip.
It will unpack and patch the boot.img on the fly and install systemless root.
Have a backup ready.

I was on stock firmware, installed TWRP (I did NOT use CF-autoroot before hand!) and then flashed the 2.60 beta, and it threw my device into a bootloop. Did I do something wrong?

It should work on 5.1.1. Are you sure you didn't have root before? The system needs to be clean. When supersu installed did it say systemless root?
If everything was as it should be then you need to make a bug report in the supersu thread to Chainfire.
Hi.
I've done a lot of research, and it seems it's not possible to totaly hide xposed from android system.
I'd like to avoid the "application is not compatible with your device" message on some apps on google play (like fire emble heroes). Seems it have something to do with android pay (safetynet).
There might be a solution as I was able after some research to hide root (with magisk).
I've tried suhide xposed module, magisk root hide, magisk systemless xposed install, systemless xposed install, system xposed install... Nothing seems to work.
Anybody managed to get a working xposed while making google play unaware of that?
Any help would be GREATLY appreciated (as I've been working on this problem for 2 months now, around 1-2 hours a day )

FireOS nor any of the custom ROMs support this natively. You'd need an app to pull this off which itself would be vulnerable to curcumvention on an unrooted device.
You can download applock or similar apps from play store to lock apps.
