Hello,
Is there a way to disable Updates with the new KFHD? I just found threads about the old 2012 Version.

Look around in the general section, I don't personally keep up-to-date with the latest method. Last I heard there was an apk called something dtc that we would rename, but I can't remember if that was before or after people kept getting updated anyway.

Blocking/blacklisting the service Amazon Device Client Platform (ADCP) from using Wi-Fi with something like Android Firewall (Requires Root) should be enough to stop any Amazon OS Updates.
I'm not sure of it's APK name in /system but renaming it to something like "name.apk.bak" may just be as good but might cause system stability issues if you still want to use other Amazon services on the device, for that I'd suggest using the above Wi-Fi blocking method in any case.
It certainly works on the 2012 model, I'm still on 7.2.3

Hi everyone,
First of all thanks for the good work and threads. It has helped me a lot to get my Kindle Fire HD rooted and setup the way I want it.
My situation is as follows: I have a rooted Kindle Fire HD (7.2.2.) with access to the Google Play Store but no means to download apps from the Amazon Market due to non-US residency (country not supported by Amazon). While I have been able to get a workaround for any other request/app I wanted, I am now struggling to get 7notes Mazec to work.
7notes is available for Kindle as Premium version which I would love to buy but they would not let me. I tried installing 7Notes for android instead. Got the apk, sideloaded it into system/app folder with File Expert and also tried via Nook Colour tools. I was able to access 7notes as a keyboard in my settings. But whenever I try to write anything with it, I get an unknown error that does not allow me to write anything down.
Q: do you know of a workaround for this problem? generally, is there anyone who succeeded in installing 7notes for Android on a Kindle device? (and if all else fails, is there another app that recognizes your handwriting and transforms it into "proper" text?)
Any help/hint would be much appreciated! :good:
Have a great weekend!
Root and play services all went without a hitch, but I cannot run an app that requires an additional permission normally accessed via settings>security>apps with usage access. It simply does not exist in the settings menu on the kindle. Is there any way to add the option or access the setting another way?
I've attached a screenshot of the app at the point it gets stuck.
Did you ever get this working?
Sorry, this isn't an answer. For some reason, posting a comment isn't working on this site in any web browser. In any case, I've got the exact situation you do (same HW/SW/root). I'm even trying to get the same app working through the google play store that you are, and am seeing the same message. Did you ever find a solution to this? Were you ever able to get MobileFence running on the Fire?
It is not available on Fire OS. Since Amazon has no use for Google play services.You would have to
Install a different ROM. I would ditch Fire Os and set it up as a kids tablet under CM or SlimLP. There is a good thread on how to do it in the Fire forum.
This proves Jeff Bezos is as big a crooks as the rest of them.
This stinks to high heaven!
Actually no, business model is solid even though it displeases some. Purchase a different device If you dislike Amazon's ecosystem.

I know this is an old post, but since I came across it looking for a solution, I thought I should answer for others that come across this looking for a solution...
I found the answer on this thread, but here's the tl;dr version:
Download App Ops, which also requires Shizuku Manager.
I was trying to install AppLock which has a similar issue and this fixed it for me.
Hi I have the Kindle Fire HD 7" (2nd Generation) and was wondering how I can either get google play store and google apps or how to get android.
Please note I used an app called Key Root Master (MOD Version) to "root" my kindle.
I have downloaded 3 apps which say I am rooted so I assume I am
Anyways how can I either get google play store and other google play services or android?
One last thing I would like to note is that my kindle is running system version 7.5.1
Thanks
Edit: I switched over to KingRoot
Edit: I thought gen 2 is SOHO but "Root Analyzer" says under device info im tate...
I'd like to know the answers to these questions also. This Kindle is crippled without access to Google play.

Go to your computer, Google root junky supertool and download it, make sure adb is enabled on the kindle, plug it in, unzip the supertool and run the batch program, wait a bit, and then you will see a bunch of options, it should be option 3 or 4. Follow the super tools instructions, and let it do its thing, and then your tablet should reboot with Gapps installed. This works with or without root.

Hi All,
I'm having some issues with my Kindle Books app, when I go into the library most of my books appear as greyed out and won't open, there seems to be no difference between books downloaded to the device and books stored in the cloud. Only two books seem to work and I think both of these were purchased after the issue first ocurred. The odd thing is that if I go via the books store and select the "read now" button, the book will open on my device. Not really sure what's going on here, any thoughts on what I an do to fix this?
Running Fire OS 5.3.1 with root and ota blocked (by renaming file).
Thanks,
Jonny

Not immediately sure about your Kindle Books issue but first need to get the facts straight on your device. FireOS 5.3.1 is not rootable at present so you must be running another version or don't actually have root. This could be relevant as some apps behave differently on rooted devices.

I used this tutorial to do it. It allows 5.3.1 to be rooted using 5.1.2 bootloader.

Yep - welcome to the 1% club (ok - maybe 5%) that followed this procedure and opted to remain on FireOS. I actually thought about that possibility when penning my previous response but felt mentioning it would only lead to confusion. My bad.
As for Kindle Books have you tried uninstalling/reinstalling the app? I realize this may be a challenge as the version included with FireOS is a system app different (and possibly not readily available) than the generic Android app. You might also try clearing the app data store which *should* be repopulated from Amazon cloud on initial connection after the flush.

Yeah, I know it's an unusual choice, will probably install a custom rom at some point but for now Nova launcher and Fire OS is good enough for me
In more relevant news clearing the app data store seems to have worked a treat, thanks for your help
I'm on n the same boat, running Fire OS 5.3.1 with 5.0.1 bootloader. That's the only way that FreeTime works for my kids. Wish they just made free time available in he Google. Play store
How to root Fire OS 5.3.2.1 on 5th gen Tablet?
I was only able to install the playstore. i hate the os and want a custom rom or at least delete the preinstalled apps
For now..
No Root.
Please do not cross/double post. Answered here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/amazon-fire/general/fireos-5-3-2-arrived-t3500922/post70252060
Seems to me, that even the playstore will eventually stop working. I managed to install it, and it worked for about a week. Now when I launch, I just get a white screen.. And I also notice, that I cannot even get to the Amazon app store.
Google Play Store is still working just fine 3 months in. Unable to root though. If I was more skilled with coding...
