1. Amzaon downloads are not working if Google Playstore is installed. To use them both you've alwas to change System files. It is not possible to use them together at the same, you've change the files an reboot.
Save:
DownloadProvier.apk
DownloadProvier.odex,
DownloadProvierUI.apk
DownloadProvierUI.odex to your SDCARD
and Save:
DownloadProvierUI.apk
DownloadProvier.apk from GooglePlay install script als to your SDCARD (to Install Playstore I used kyleberry.graphics script).
So what I'm doing for the moment is If want to Download from Amazon I copy the 4 files from original Frimware /system/app (don't forget the permissions - reboot), If I want to use Playstore I copy the two files from Playstore install script to /system/app (delete the 4 org. files before)
2. Language-Settings
I just renamed OOBE-release-signed.apk and OOBE-release-signed.odex
Regards

Thank you, it works.

[Q] force close "com.diotek.diodict.p1.engeng" after 2.3.3

hi all
i have a galaxy tab and have upgraded to gingerbread 2.3.3 using kies and i am getting a frequent error message that an extensive google search can't explain
so i was wondering if someone in here might be able to help me out and please shed some light on it?
the situation is - every now and then, i get a force close popup for "com.diotek.diodict.p1.engeng"
a google search of this text brings up only 205 results! adding in "galaxy tab" makes it drop even more! so i am guessing it's not a common issue...
in fact, it seems the only posts are either to do with the "JME firmware" (which I dont think I have) or an app called Advanced Task Killer which I also don't have.
i have searched everywhere and not found anything to solve the problem. can anyone in here please help??
thanks!
james
i should also say that i have tried clearing the data for the English Dictionary application (that came with the tab) and also tried a Factory Reset (in privacy settings). the clear data didnt change anything but when i factory reset it, it took a few days for the issue to reappear.
thanks for the help
I had the same problem. I re-installed the 'English Dictionary' APK, which you can find in /preload/apk (you can get there in ES File Manager, don't need to be rooted) & haven't had a problem since
thanks, pokey
i tried your suggestion and so-far so-good! thanks a million!
james
Hi,
I have exactly the same problem, but can't find the preload folder. Can you give me a more detailed indication of where it is?
Thanks
8Ball
/preload/apk/Apps/DioDict_EngEng.apk
Install ES File Explorer, hit the far left button to go from /sdcard to / ... then you can navigate down ...
well by now it would normally have force closed, but since the reinstallation it hasnt - so big thanks to pokey! fixed!
I have the same problem but my preload/app did not have DioDict_EngEng.apk. I found a copy of the apk, copied it to my external sd card and try reinstalling it but it did not work. Can anyone tell me how I can get rid of that error message.
Also under preload/TOSDCARD, there is a folder named samsungdic but no apk in it too. Hope someone can help me, thank you
DioDict_EngEng stops working solved...
Hello everyone...
I just registered to this forum in order to provide the following information.
I have a Galaxy Tab P1000 with Gingerbread installed thorugh the Samsung Kies update. My tab is not rooted or anything. It started showing several times a day a message indicating: "(process com.diotek.diodict.p1.engeng) has stopped unexpectedly". If you try to uninstall the application using the Android Menu, you won't be able to do it, cause the Uninstall button is grayed.
If you want to see the error, try loading the English dictionary that should be in Applications in your tab.
So, i managed to solve the issue, and it's very simple. Just download an app called APPREMOVER, and remove the English Dictionary. Once removed, get into Samsung Applications and search for English Dictionary. Just download it and reinstall it.
Before this, i tried deleting the tab data, deleting a directory in the tab using the ES File Manager, also i installed the English Dictionary from an apk i found on mediafire (google for DioDict_EngEng.apk and it will be the first hit). NOTHING worked.
So i hope this helps Orcomma, raejade, and anyone else who has this problem.
Cya guys!

[Q] Kindle Fire HD 7 stuck on 'application stop'

I am so confused . . .
I have a kindle fire hd 7. I rooted it today using the one/two step method and it worked beautifully. I tried a couple of different launchers (go launcher hd, adw launcher and apex launcher) and all worked fine. I decided to go back to using go launcher hd since I liked it the best. No problem. Switching and uninstalling worked great. Before I could finish reinstalling the go launcher hd and moving to the system app folder, I stupidly saw the new Next Launcher and tried that. Now my kindle is stuck on an endless "Next Launcher has stopped" cycle and I can't get it to stop. I have tried resetting to factory default and that didn't work.
The odd part is, even though I get the same error message every second (literally) the kindle will still work if I'm fast enough pushing the ok button on the error. I have taken 4 hours and navigated to the menu where I force it to close (didn't work), tried to find the es file explorer (didn't work) and no matter what I do, I can't get it to stop.
I hope that was thorough enough. Any tips?

This is a shot in the dark but try a few things:
1) Hard Reset. While the Kindle is turned on Press and hold the Power button for 20 seconds, ignoring any Shutdown Message. The Kindle will power off on a hard reset.
2) Safe Mode. Power the Kindle in Safe Mode. When the Kindle is OFF press the Volume Up and Down together. While pressing the Volume keys, press the Power Button button to turn on the Kindle, release the Power button within 3 seconds. Just don't let go of the Volume keys until the Kindle is fully powered up. You will see "Safe Mode" in the left hand corner of your screen.

Tried the Hard Reset and the Safe Mode, neither worked. The message continues to pop up repeatedly.
The error itself is that after I tried to use the Next Launcher by putting it into the system/app folder like you would any other launcher to get it to do its things, it didn't work and now I get a continuous "Next Launcher Has Stopped" message that no matter how many times you press "OK" it keeps coming up, literally every second. The odd part is, I have been able to re-root the kindle and navigate it so I know I'm not bricked and I am 95% sure I am not soft bricked, though I could be wrong. I have managed to get ES Explorer back onto the Kindle and can navigate my way over time to the system/app folder. I have tried deleting the file and I get the "Error Deleting File" message and it continues. From what I can see, all I need to do is get this file deleted (and not try random untested things of course ) and if I can do that, it will be fixed. I just can't seem to get it deleted. I have tried both ES File Explorer and Astro File Explorer which are both still on my kindle. I have tried deleting it with the multi-select option in both but get that previously mentioned "Error Deleting File." I have tried moving it back to the sdcard/download folder with the same error. I have tried killing the task with Astro and ignoring it as well and that doesn't work. I am still working on this. I do realize as well that when this first happened I should have cleared out some files before I did the factory reset which also didn't work. However I was unable to get that file (Next Launcher) deleted which is why I went to the factory reset. After I managed to get the Kindle re-rooted, the only I haven't been able to do is get Superuser root access to the system/app folder to change permissions, again because of the repeated error.
It all comes down to the Next Launcher.apk file in the system/app folder that I can't get out. Long pressing anything doesn't work because of the repeated pop-up "Next Launcher has stopped." error mentioned above. The only way I can show you what it is exactly is to screw up your Kindle Fire HD 7 by downloading and putting the Next Launcher.apk file in the system app folder. That's literally all I did and now I can't get it to stop. I've even tried adding a second and third launcher to see if I could pick one on start up but that didn't work either. I even got ADW Launcher running and the error still came up. I'm running out of ideas. I'm open to any ideas at this point. Thanks for your time with this btw. I really appreciate it. :fingers-crossed:
Since you have root access you can use adb to remove a system apk,
Use these commands:
Code:
adb shell
su
mount -o remount,rw -t rfs /dev/stl5 /system
rm -r /system/app/[AppName].apk
mount -o remount,ro -t rfs /dev/stl5 /system
If you need to look up a list of apk names on the device:
Code:
cd /system/app
ls *.apk
Hope this works for you.

What about using ADB to communicate to your Kindle? That is, using "adb shell" thus allowing you shell access to your Kindle. Then using the shell to first kill the Next Launcher service and then finally rename it to Next Launcher.bak - Maybe?

Hi Guys,
I tried your method and it kept giving me an error saying the file doesn't exist. I went through some of the forums and somehow managed to get the kindle stuck in System Recovery mode. After a few more hours of playing with it, I called Amazon Customer Service and they are sending me a new one. Thanks for all your help. I'm sorry the directions above didn't work. I know now for future reference what not to do.

danyluis,
You deserve some credit too! Great work danyluis!
a little help?
This is a little different than the original issue but I believe I may have messed something up while trying to root. I don't have a lock screen anymore and my top and bottom bars keep disappearing with a blink once and a while but no touch interaction when they do come up for that brief second. since I am rooted, is there anyway to replace system files to override the ones I may have messed up, or can someone point me in the direction of restoring a stock system without having access to the traditional method of factory reset through the settings menu? Everything seems to work fine just I have no access to the home button, back button, notification bar etc...
I've been searching the forums for an hour or so and haven't been able to come up with a solution.
I've tried using binary's rooting method again to try and restore but it never comes up to the restore screen since I don't have a lock screen. At the end of that process I get a message saying no backup-restore.apk.
I just noticed the first aide thread and I'm going to read through that in hopes that there is a way to bring this thing back.

[Q] I changed provider and the simtoolkit is not present

I have JB XXLPZ and changed provider today.
From the documentation from the provider I need to set things via the simtoolkit. I don't see the icon and can't find it anywhere?
Also I have the phone rooted and am running the TZ 3.5 kernel.
Any hints or tips?

Install SD Maid app, press left soft button and go to settings of that app. Check "Include system packeges?". Go back, then go to tab APPCONTROL. Refrash it, then search for stk. Press on it, and tap on Start application.

Check 10 times and I'm not in airplane mode as I can call en be called. Only data requires some settings for this provider and must be setup via the simtoolkit as per their instuctions.

I installed it, but it doesn't show up in the list.
Also original rooted kernel didn't make a change.
When I use ES file-explorer and go to the /system/app folder I see a stk.apk and stk.odex
I was now able to install the stk, but it doesn't show up in the app drawer. Installed size is 0KB.

When I use ES file-explorer and go to the /system/app folder I see a stk.apk and stk.odex
I was now able to install the stk, but it doesn't show up in the app drawer. Installed size is 0KB.

Hmmm. Try to delete both. And wait me to upload deodexed file.

Reboot. You pushed this file? And did remove previous apk and odex file of it?
P.S. If you really need that app to open do this:
1. Make backup in CWM.
2. Flash stock FW with Odin. And do factory reset. Or try with factory reset first, without flashing JB with Odin again, if that do not help, then flash FW.
3. Use app for your needs
4. Root phone again
5. Install TZ 3.5
6. Restore your backup.

I removed the previous two files and copied the one you supplied in it's place.
Ran sd-mail and was able to find the stk app. Unable to run it though.
Then reboot.
After the reboot the sd-maid app was unable to find the stk application like the original ones.

Ok. Will do that tomorrow.
For now I use the Wifi hotspot functionality from my company phone.
I need to do the following:
Choose Roaming services.
Choose Selecteer Mode.
Choose Manueel.
Choose International.
Simcard gets updated.
If you know any app that can do the following then I'm all ears
Thanks and I'll update tomorrow!

Solved!
The provider said that my simcard didn't need to be changed because it was of the newer type. So the sim toolkit was not being able to run because it detected the newer type.
Then I explained that I still had no internet. She talked me throug all the settings and they were fiine. On their website there are numerous samples per phone on how to setup this manually.
Is seems that the settings defer for some phones. They told me I had to type "internet" in the access type section while it had to be "default" what I found out by checking the phone of my wife. She has the same provider.
After changing I had my dataconnection.
Thanks for thinking with me!

[INFO] Root, install TWRP, install CM10, general how to's

This is posted here because theres no "General" section for the KFDH8
There's really go guides/how to's/info all in one place for the KFHD8 so I figured I'd put one together. I didn't come up with any of this stuff, but I searched high and low for some of these answers and some aren't "simple" to find.

[How To] Root Kindle Fire HD 8.9"
The author of the OP asked the file not be mirrored anywhere else, so please don't take the file and create another post with the file mirrored. If the link doesn't work, the op is located here. You need to post there or here and ask someone for a link via PM. ALSO This does NOT Install Busy Box, you'll need to download and install that once you get the market installed.
1 - Download the .zip file here
2 - Extract the file to the folder of your choice
3 - Double click the "RunMe.bat" file and follow the directions
(note, there is a step that will ask you to type something on your screen, watch for it, otherwise you'll have to start over)
Alternatively, you can download and use the tool located here. It'll automatically root it for you when you do the Restore+Root option(but it's a 1.1gb file so prepare for a lengthy download time)

[How To] Install TWRP on the Kindle Fire HD 8.9"
The instructions and files are found here along with REALLY good instructions. Little hint: when you're typing in the code, it's probably best to just copy and past what Hashcode typed up rather than try to type it out yourself.
Link to CM10.1(Android 4.2.2): Files plus are all listed here. Just download the files, copy to your kindle, boot into recovery(with the device powered off, hold Vol + and power. Release power once you see the Kindle logo but keep holding Vol + until it boots into TWRP), and install.NOTE: THERE IS AN EXTRA STEP IF YOU HAVE SYSTEM VERSION 8.3!

[How To] Install gApps onto the Kindle Fire HD 8.9"
In order to do this you need a file explorer app that will allow you to write to the system folder and change file permissions(I.E. - ES File Explorer)
1 - Download the file located here
2 - Extract the file and copy the Apps folder to your kindle(located under the "System" folder once the file is extracted)
3 - Navigate to the Apps folder you just copied to your Kindle and install GoogleServicesFramework.apk and GoogleLoginService.apk
4 - Copy Phonesky.apk and Talk.apk to /system/app on your Kindle
5 - Change the permissions of Phonesky.apk and Talk.apk so they're set to the following:
User: Read Write
Group: Read
Others: Read
6 - Install Phonesky.apk and Talk.apk and reboot the device
Google Play Market should now show up under your apps. Just to be safe, I also reinstall GoogleServicesFramework.apk and GoogleLoginService.apk again just to be sure...probably not needed...but it's what I do

[How To] Set a different default launcher on your Kindle Fire HD 8.9"
You can do this 1 of 2 ways, the way I'm listing is "fool proof" so to speak, but require you to purchase Titanium Backup Pro. The other way doesn't cost anything, but also doesnt work for EVERY launcher(such as ADW.Launcher EX). The other way with directions is here(though it says it's for the Kindle Fire 7, it will work on the 8.9" too)
1 - Download your launcher of choice(I prefer Go Launcher HD for Pad and install from Google Play
2 - Open Titanium Backup Pro
3 - Go to the "Backup/Restore" tab, long press on the launcher you just installed and click "Convert to system app"
4 - Press the "home" buttom and it will prompt which launcher you want to use

[How To] Remove Bloatware from your Kindle Fire HD 8.9"
Again, there are two ways to do this(one being use ADB and manually delete the apps from the /system/app folder) but again, this way is probably a bit safer
1 - Open Titanium Pro
2 - Go to the "Backup/Restore" tab
A - If the app you want to remove is RED then you have to long press on the app, select "Convert to user app", long press it again, and select "Backup-->Verify-->Uninstall"(this will back it up in case you need to reinstall it)
B - If the app you want to remove is white, then you can just long press and select "Backup-->Verify-->Uninstall
C - If the app you want to remove is RED AND doesn't give the option to convert it to a system app, if you can just tap the app name(not long press) and select "Freeze App" that will disable the app so it's not used anymore.

Q. Why can't I get certain apps to install on my Kindle Fire DH 8.9" through Google Play?
A. That's because the KFHD8 isn't supposed to have Google Play on it, so certain apps will say they aren't compatible with your device. The way around that is to either A - change your build.prop so that it shows a different device(which I wouldn't do if I was you) or B - Use Market Helper. It will fool the Play Market into thinking you have a different device which will allow you to install the "restricted" apps. You'll need Root, GoogleServicesFramework and GoogleLoginServices installed for this to work.
Q. When I try to use "X" app, it says Google is requesting permissions to log-in, but when I click on the notification, it just disappears.
A. You need to install GoogleLoginServices
Q. Why can't I add widgets to my homescreen when using my customer launcher?
A. The Kindle Fire does not by default support homescreen widgets, this you need to install the App Widget Picker THEN set a widget.
Q. When I try to open Gmail it just says the app has stopped...why?
A. You need to install Account and Sync Settings.
Q. OH NOOO!!!! I FUBAR'ed MY KFHD8!!! HOW DO I RESET IT BACK TO FACTORY?!?!?!?!
Download and use the tool located here
Q. Is the SIM card in my KFHD8 removable? If so, is the tablet unlocked?
A. The sim card is removable. It's located on the top left side of the device. And yes, it is unlocked. BUT there are no T-Mobile 3g/4g bands as seen in the FCC doc [url="https://apps.fcc.gov/eas/GetApplicationAttachment.html?id=1794817']here[/url].
That's all for now folks! I'll add more as it comes along. If you see a mistake or think something might be a good idea to add...just lemme know...i'll get it added!
I totally agree with most of these steps, especially rooting and TWRP. However, in my opinion a simpler way to get things like a new launcher and the android market on the kindle with an application called KindleFree - http://www.xda-developers.com/andro...cher-and-google-play-store-on-kindle-fire-hd/
Its a straight forward APK that does most of the work for you in regards to installing services and getting things configured. There is a free version linked and after using the free version to get the process started a paid version will let you complete the rest of the setup (It costs $1).
It was a life saver for me because of its simplicity.
If you have installed TWRP recovery, can't you just flash the last ICS gapps from recovery?
Rooting 8.3.1
Hi!
I forgot to opt-out of automatic updates and today my KFHD8 has updated itself to v8.3.1.
I tried to root it againg using Root_with_Restore_by_Bin4ry_v27 (from the link on the thread You provided) but after saying it was a success and rebooting I tried running "SuperSU" and I get this message:
"There is no SU binary installed, and SuperSU cannot install it."

I'm about to order a Kindle Fire HD 8.9 and wanted to get confirmation that rooting and custom rom installation is working on the 8.3.1 version of the firmware. Thanks!
Yes 8.3.1 can be rooted and you can install a custom rom. There is a thread in Q&A called rooting 8.3.1 from scratch that has detailed instructions if you need help.

[Q] Rooting a Kindle Fire HD 11.3.1.0 and GooglePlay

Hi everyone,
I recently got a Kindle Fire HD for Christmas I am delighted with it, however I am disappointed that Amazon's App Store is somewhat limited in comparison to other App stores such as GooglePlay.
I was wondering if someone could point me in the direction of a step by step guide on how root a Kindle Fire HD 11.3.1.0. I looked at this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2544736 however I apologise for being a newb but I did not really understand it! Do I simply connect my Kindle Fire HD to my computer and then run the script? I would appreciate a step by step guide as I am quite clueless when it comes to these things!
So once the Kindle Fire HD has been rooted, can GooglePlay be installed?
Also is it dangerous to root a Kindle? Can I break it? And is there the possibility that future software updates could break my Kindle having rooted it?
Thanks for your time and I would appreciate any input!

Hi jha1991, you do need to be careful about rooting and making changes to your device. The most impost advice I can offer would be to do your research. Ensure that you know what device you actually own and its version. Amazon have not made this easy with their version and naming convention. Most mistakes which are encountered are as a result of not following instructions correctly or attempting to follow a process which was not designed for the device you own.
Check your device by going to "Settings" ---> Device ----> System Updates.
The actual version should be under Current version.
If you do in-fact have the 11.3.1.0 . I have good news and bad news.
THE GOOD NEWS
This is the new version of the device, thus far, the device can be safely rooted if you follow the instructions in this link.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2544736
Tips: Ensure that the drivers for the device are installed correctly, not the Microsoft native ones which the OS provides by actual ADB drivers. (You can search around for those, I have found that there are a few different variations of those so you would need to find the ones which work for you, based on the OS you are running and configuration of your machine. Feel free to install and un-install until you get this step right.
Once this is done you can safely root the device by running the batch file provided. Run the file by double clicking and not by right clicking and running as administrator. (A bit odd I know)
THE BAD NEWS
At present there is no secondary or unlocked boot loader for the device, which would allow users to side load TWRP and other essentials. So installation of custom roms and other freedoms are currently not available. My advice, wait it out and allow the developers to release a tested and working solution for an unlocked boot-loader for the firmware of this device.
THE ALTERNATIVE FOR APPS
You can install apps by copying the apk files directly to the device and installing from there, you do not need Google Play to do this. The current methods being used to run Google play on the device are hit and miss and have been known to cripple and already crippled kindle fire OS.
Install any app you want by uploading the APKs
Check out this site to get this done, it would be a good start.
http://apps.evozi.com/apk-downloader/
CHEERS.
Nice answer :good:
Very well elaborated and detailed answer right there. I think this should be a sticky post since users with the new KFHD [3rd gen] (11.3.1.0) get a very nice overview about their device and their current possibilities!
I can confirm that the rooting script mentioned above works perfectly fine for the new Kindle.
If anybody wants to get rid of the Amazon-ads, here are the steps to get this done:
(All credits for this go to "Codemasta"!!!)
Root your Kindle Fire HD 2013
Download and install ES File Explorer from amazon AppStore (its free)
Start ES File Explorer and enable Root Explorer
Browse to "/data/securedStorageLocation/dtcp/"
Marke the "adunits" folder
Go to "more" and "settings"
Remove the permissions from "rwx --- ---" to "--- --- ---"
(Optional) Remove all folders in the adunits folder
Just don't ever try to mess with the dtcp****** etc. files located inside the app-folder since they're signed and can get you your Kindle bricked.
Afaik this is the only reliable and safe way to get rid of those ads on the KFHD 11.3.1.0 atm.
Concerning the Google PlayStore, I haven't really testet that matter, but I can confirm that by copying the apk.-files on your Kindle and then running them from your Kindle, you are able to get any game or app you want
Hope this helps anybody being confused about what possibilities there are for the new Kindle :fingers-crossed:
Greetings!
@cerberus0f Thanks for this, I appeciate it! However the thread you linked me to is the one I originally mentioned. Is there a step by step guid on how to root? It's good to know that apps can be installed by copying apk files, therefore no Google Play store needed

Pretty much But before that you gotta make sure your Kindle has a ADB-connection to your computer. I'm sure there are plenty of instructions on how to get those adb drivers to recognize your Kindle, so just search the forums or google and you'll get plenty of guides + the neccessary drivers there. But don't worry, it's a very simple process.
Basically, this:
-Uninstall any existant drivers on your computer for the Kindle in case you have connected the device to it before (which you prolly have )
-Install the ADB drivers on your system (nothing more but a simple setup.exe file installation)
-Plug your Kindle to the computer, make Windows stop searching automatically for the needed drivers and point him to the folder where the new drivers are.
That's pretty much it, but I'm sure any guides with screenshots out there will leave you without any doubts on this!
Once you have assured your Kindle gets recognized by ADB (enable ADB on the Kindle!!!) you just run the script from above and you're set!
Your Kindle will be rooted afterwards
Greetings!

Nothing you have to worry about, and yeah afaik that's a totally normal behaviour.
Some apps heavily rely on Google Play Services, so that's nothing strange
I've not encountered a message like that yet though. Do those apps still work after the message pops up or do they close upon this message?
Greetings!
@cruzersteve I downloaded and installed the ADB drivers, however when I plug the Kindle in via USB, Windows does not search for the ADB drivers I installed, but installs new drivers. The Kindle appears as a Portable Media Device in my devices. How do I get Windows to look for the ADB drivers?
Thanks

That's why I told you to search for detailed guides about this, since it's kinda hard to explain this just with words, but let me give it a try
Step-by-step:
1.) Plug your Kindle to your computer
2.) Open your device manager
3.) Right-click your Kindle-device in the device manager (Section should be portable devices) --> Chose uninstall
4.) We've now uninstalled any existing driver for the Kindle on your system. Now make sure again that you've enabled ADB-support on your Kindle!!!
5.) Unplug the Kindle from your PC
6.) Install ADB drivers to your system [Skip this if already done ^^]
7.) Now comes the "tricky" part. It requires you to click fast enough, but it's not really hard either xD Plug in your Kindle to your computer.
--> Since there are no drivers on the system for this device, Windows is gonna start looking for compatible drivers for the device. This should get displayed by a icon on the right of your taskbar. Double-click that so the windows driver search gets displayed. And on the bottom part of this box, there should be an option like this: "Stop searching automatically for drivers for this device" [Sorry for not providing the exact words, my system is in german so I can't But there's only one option you can click to make him stop so you basically can't miss it =) ]
8.) So now, we've stopped Windows from installing the drivers he needed for the device. Go to the device manager once again, and by the side of your Kindle, there should be displayed a yellow exclamation mark now, since the system is missing the adb-drivers.
9.) Right-click the Kindle once again, chose "Update drivers" and then click yourself through the driver installation process. Make sure to chose the option "Chose specific folder location to look for drivers" (or something like that) when you get asked for it. Then, obviously, point him to the folder where your ADB-drivers are installed.
10.) You should be done by now. After this your device should be installed with the correct ADB-drivers
Sorry for my bad english, not my native language but I'm trying! xD
Here's a youtube video, his steps aren't all the same as I described them since he starts off way later in the process than I did, but might be helpful as well: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ds7HjmJ5Yg8

Yes thats normal because as I stated before, Google Play services is not functioning on the new KFHD7 2013 model yet. So any actual Gapp (Google Hangouts, google books, etc.) will not function. Only self running apps like the XDA app from the Play Store will work.
@cruzersteve some apps do keep working, others do not. Even on the apps that seem to keep working, errors keep randomly popping up.
@LinearEquation... I know gapps won't work, I'm not referring to them. Like my screen shot showed, Living Social and Groupon don't work. Those are just the only two I can think of now, but there are others.

Download Manager
So i rooted my kindle, and proceeded to start hacking up the system. i hid my softkeybar in lieu of pie controls, and replaced the stock keyboard with thumb keyboard. all of this worked swimmingly until i tried to install the google play services. i backed up my download manager via titanium and installed the edited ones via another post on this forum. Now the play store does not work, nor does any other web interface for download (ie browser amazon app store etc)
Can someone please pull and upload
/system/app/DownloadProvider.apk and
/system/app/DownloadProviderUi.apk
or direct me to a link where i may download these files? Until i have them my kindle is pretty worthless

Custom roms for 2013 KFHD7 ver 11.3
Hi everyone! I've been scouring as many sources as I can looking for news of Cyanogenmod for the 2013 Kindle Fire HD 7" (ver. 11.3) and I can't find anything. I was just now able to root it, at least. Anybody heard anything? Point me in the right direction? I got this thing for Christmas and it's sitting there next to my Nexus 5 feeling bad for itself. I like the hardware, but that Amazon OS is *brutal*.
Rooting is quite easy, and there is a script in the forums. There are no Rom capabilities yet as no one has found an exploit to unlock the boot loader yet.

Has anyone got google now working? I got gmail working but the play services won't install so google search won't work. I'm wanting to try GEL
