Hi guys !
First, I am sorry for my English because I am french.
I have successfully rooted my kindle fire 7.4.7 version.
I have a problem installing android marketplace.
After copy Vending.apk into system/app, change propreties and install it, I reboot my kindle. When it is rebooted, I get this message "Android Marketplace has stoped" and I can't see the app in the appication menu.
Does somebody know what is the problem? I have respected all tutorial steps !
Thank you very much for your help

If you only updated it, then find it in the Google Play Store and choose Uninstall. That will roll it back to the original version.
I have searched through here and do not see this particular error. I have rooted my new kindle fire hd 32gb version and all is well. I am trying to install the google play store and have used android cowboy's method, it won't let me post the link.
I have done as instructions state and even restored to stock with android cowboys method and tried again each time I get the error that the play store has stopped. Does anyone have any suggestions? Does it matter that it's a 32 gig version? I have successfully installed this on 2 other kindle fire hd's but I have two different ones that have this error.
There's an app that will do it for you, called KindleFree:

Good Evening All
I am after a bit of help/advice
Ok, I have a Kindle fire HD 7inch
I have [11/15] BETA CM10.2 + 3.0.50+ KERNEL installed and gapps-jb-20130813-signed installed
I have no issues using any of the google apps all happy with that.
The issue i have is that when i download Amazon app store it downloads ok, it installs ok
But when i go to run the App it crashes every time no matter what
I have installed via email, downloaded from amazon, sideloaded, copied from computer to tablet via ES file explore
installed from drop box, all instales looked like they installed ok.
i have tried deleting the cache still no joy, i have deleted the KFHD from amazon still no joy
i can log into my amazon account via the WWWeb so my account works
I was wondering if i had missed somthing out or have not installed somthing i should have
thank you in advance

Having the same issue. Tried redownloading and that didn't help. Ended up browsing for an older version and that did work. Just don't update it when prompted or back to force close you go.
Seems to work fine on my S4,just not on Cm 10.2 for some reason.

Try downloading it from Amazon while on your tablet http://www.amazon.com/gp/mas/get/android If it does not work then I can upload the official Amazon APK I am using which is not the super new one. I have a habit about waiting to see how an updated app gets reviewed before updating and using Titanium to back up first just in case the update messes the app up.

This seems to be an issue for everyone across the board using cyanogenmod. Do any devs know what's going on here? I currently can no longer get any version of the Amazon store back on mine, new or old. I took the version 7 update when I was prompted and it, of course, doesn't work. Well, I didn't have a backup of version 5 anywhere so I grabbed an apk of 5, tried to install that back, and it force closes as well. Sucks bad considering a few of the games I have installed require the Amazon store to run even if you've linked them to Google Play.

I wiped the old data and updated to the new Amazon App and it FC. Flashed my nandroid with the previous version and no issues. This is not the first time the Amazon APK has gone haywire. I don't think it has anything to do with CM.

I downloaded the new Amazon APK and it does FC. Flashed a nandrod and have the last version and it works just fine. So I would remove the new Amazon APK and use SD maid or Titanium to wipe any old data too. Then you can try installing last version Amazon APK I uploaded to my drop box. This should fix the force closing issue. Make sure to reboot after installing if needed and uncheck Amazon apk in your sandbox if it's lit up so it can access your info.

You will see in the screen shot provided today's Amazon free app of the day.
Good Morning All
I have managed to sort it.
i had made a back before flashing using titanium and it looks like it kept the backup folder on the SD card
so i reinstaled titanium after flash and restored my amazon account rebooted and is now installed, i also
took off a couple of folders of apps that are no longer installed no program managed to show me these
anyway thank you for your help
regards
Paul
So if I am reading this correctly, you went back to an older version via restoring your backup?

Hi
RedsonRising
I originally had free kindle installed and made a backup with titanium when i put on CM10.2
it seems that nothing at all was wiped on the card so when i installed titanium again
it showed the backup so i installed from the titanium back and that seemed to fix it
i installed the program plus data files
regards
Paul
Well, I've now tried everything to get the Store back. I've cleared data, ran SD Maid, sifted through the root directories looking for anything related to a previous install that might be causing conflict, converted to a system app..nothing is working. I get a force close on version 5 and 7 both. I've even upgraded the tablet to CM 11 and still getting the fc. Help!

That's how Titanium works. As long as you don't wipe the data from your File Explorer (or write over it if you only allow one backup) it will be there for ever. That's how those of us that jump ROM's keep our info.

Yea, if you have Titanium, just restore the app data to that app any you're back to the previous version in two seconds.

So that solves the problem short term (I installed an older version), but it doesn't solve the issue of not being able to run the latest version. Granted it may not offer any improvements we can't live without, but down the line it could cause issues.

Amazon AppStore and Amazon KindleApp now work
I am on an Amazon Kindle Fire HD 7" running CM 11 from Hashcode's latest release on xda app-developers two weeks ago. The Amazon Kindle App would force close. I tried every combination of data and cache clearing with shutdown and restart then reloading the Amazon AppStore and Kindle App.
I had success after using LinearEquation's older version of the Amazon AppStore, with a simple side load. Prior to the load I cleared the data and cache and then removed the Amazon AppStore and Amazon Kindle App. After installing the older version of the Amazon AppStore from LinearEquation and the current version of the Amazon Kindle App from Google Play Store... Success! both work.
To confirm it was the new version of the AppStore causing the problem and not the Kindle App, I then updated the Amazon AppStore and the AppStore forced close again; however the Kindle App remained working.
Thanks for making the download available! Returned my Kindle to an Amazon reader without the annoying Amazon OS.

That would rocks if an older version of the Amazon AppStore could be posted! All the links are down.
Edit 1/19/14: Hashcode has released a new build that has apparently fixed the issue with the amazon apks.
His newest build (as of today) is here for KFHD7 2012 http://goo.im/devs/Hashcode/tate/cm11//cm-11-20140117-UNOFFICIAL-tate.zip
And here for KFHD 8.9 2012 http://goo.im/devs/Hashcode/jem/cm11/cm-11-20140117-UNOFFICIAL-jem.zip
I encourage all to try this build (or the newest one) first. I'll still leave these apks here just in case for the mean time.
As posted by KyleMac_ for rooted devices
editing the build.prop is working,too. At least with the amazon kindle apk (that's what I've tried).
go to
/system/build.prop
rename
ro.product.manufacturer=amazon
to e.g.
ro.product.manufacturer=UrChoice

Are you saying that making those changes would allow us to use the most recent version of the Kindle application from the Google Play store?

Be careful editing prop builds, It can backfire. Make a backup if you do.

I thought the name was critical to the tablet's function and had to be some officially registered tablet name.

You can back them up with Titanium Backup, uninstall the apps and then restore them with Titanium Backup. That works on crashing apps but not all apps in the app store are compatible with the Kindle series.

I can't install the Kindle apk from this thread on hashcode's CM11 ROM on my KFHD7. I've tried clicking it to install, but this always ends in the install failing with "App not installed." I also tried copying it to /system/app (and setting proper permissions), but the app still fc's immediately upon starting.

You don't need to make this a system app. Try removing completely and re-downloading it to the download portion of the internal SD card. Then open it. It should work just fine unless something from CM is preventing the app from working properly.

You're welcome.
I can confirm editing the line ro.product.manufacturer in the build.prop works. Just change after the = to whatever you want. I used "Amzn". Tested on KFHD7. As has been stated, always make a backup of your build.prop before changing anything.
Anyway to fix this?

Once you put a custom ROM on your tablet, the "kindle Edition" apps will not work anymore. The short answer is you have to find a non Kindle edition app.

The newest CM drop from Hashcode has change the prop build to make it an Android. If the newest build is used then the newest APK's can be used and the ones I uploaded are no longer necessary. I updated the OP when the new CM 11 was dropped and opted to leave the old APK's up only for those that may experience some random issue. As far as the downloads, they work fine. Not sure what to say about that.
Hallo,
like mentioned in the topic ... dumb like i am - I sideloaded the mobile version of the Appstore and it overwrote my Appstore in General. Im now unable to get back. If i try installing the APK appstore from my Firetv 4K its telling me, that its an older version. Also im unable to uninstall the APK because its a system app. What can i do to fix this? Can i edit somehow the APK to spoof it to a newer version than it is? if so, how? Just an idea because i was able to install it before.

App version i installed: release-32.51.1.0.204398.0_800900410
