After rooting my wife's Kindle Fire HD and attempting unsuccessfully to install a custom ROM I restored the stock ROM. In the interest of saving some space I uninstalled several stock apps, checking with her before doing so on each one. She assured me that she would never use Audible and I (foolishly) removed it without doing a backup.
Now she would like to try the audio book feature, but guess what? No Audible. And I can't find any stand-alone app to install that will give her the feature.
Any suggestions, short of restoring the backup again??

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

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)

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.
Hi all,
I've rooted my Kindle Fire 7" HD but I'm unable to install any apps via the Google Play Store. SuperSU has been install successfully & I've also upgraded it to v1.3. Root Checker Basic confirms that I do indeed have root permissions. I followed the tutorials posted by @prokennexusa & the app loads up fine. But when I attempt to install anything, the Play store closes. When I attempt to reopen it, it will close straight away. I have to clear the app's data before I can load it up again.
I had done this previously on a different Kindle & all was fine so it's probably me missing a step. Anyone got any ideas on what that missing step might have been? I'm running v4.1.10 of the Play Store. Is this the latest?
Cheers for any tips you can give me,
Lee
Make sure you're using the right GAPPS for your OS. I recommend flashing Kinology ROM, as it includes GAPPS and SuperSU. It's just stock with extra features, so it works really well.

Reboot your kindle some times GPlay hasn't configed
Hello everyone,
My name is Marika and I'm quite desperate! in fact, I decided to register on this forum because I can't figure out how to "save" my Kindle Fire HD 7".
I must say I am a total novice and working on a Mac, but I have access to a PC with Windows and Linux, too.
My problem is the following: I rooted my KFHD to install Google Play store and I installed Go Launcher EX and HD because I hated the carousel and wanted a nice tablet without necessarily showing everyone what was going on on my device.
I don't know if something went wrong but everything worked just fine until I noticed that even if I tried it, I couldn't update my KFHD from Amazon. I tried to ask the troubleshooting service and they told me I had to send back the device and they would send me a new one; so I tried to wipe it clean and unroot it otherwise they would charge me for the second device. The unroot part was fairly easy, and I tried to restore it to the factory settings by the default button inside the device, everything was cancelled but I couldn't update it, still, plus I noticed that the Go Launchers were still there. I re rooted it in order to try to remove the files manually but I couldn't figure out what to do, the only thing I know is that I have no "uninstall" button on these apps so I can't get rid of them, can someone help me? I would like to install Cyanogenmode now instead of those...
Thank you in advance for your time and sorry if this problem was already posted somewhere else, but I couldn't find anything similar to my case!
I'm confused, why area you trying to remove this stuff if you want to install CyanogenMod, when you install cyanogen mod it wipes everything including the os and excluding the sdcard, so there's no point in removing launchers. It sounds like you thought cm was a launcher, am I right or not understanding this right?
Sent from my Amazon Kindle Fire HD running CM10.1 Tablet UI using xda-developers app
actually no, I didn't think that Cyanogenmode was a launcher; I just thought that the Go Launchers would stay loaded on it anyways and that I needed to get rid of them to install the OS.
I would also like to figure out what could have happened to the KFHD to behave in a such way, because maybe there's really something that doesn't work and it's better if I get a working one while the warranty is still active, that's why I needed/wanted to do what I explained.
Thank you for your reply!
Well when flashing cm it you will basically factory reset, and the launchers that are stored in/system/apps will be wiped too, because everything in /system is deleted when you flash it. As for the updates you could always just restore a older version of amazon os and it would probably fix it, but why do you want to update the os? Most people disable updates so they don't have to keep rerooting it.

yeah probably it's easier and better to install cm right away without any other troubles!
Okay, I'm rooted, have TWRP installed and I was able to flash CM 10.2 and Gapps successfully. But after initial setup etc, when I downloaded and installed the Kindle Reader app from Google Play, it will not startup. It crashes within a few seconds.
Is there a specific version of the app I should be using? My wife will not be a happy camper if she can't read on her tablet. Odds are, I will be buying her a new one if I can't fix this.
Thank you in advance for any help given.

Same problem happened to me mate. i found out that when you install Gapps, the kindle reader app, kindle photo app, and amazon appstore will not work, unfortunately. i solved the book problem by signing into my amazon account on my PC, buying the book there, then transferring it to my kindle. If you go to manage kindle, and go to "actions" on the book you buy, one of the options offers to download the book file to your PC, then transferring it to your kindle.
good luck

Have you tried updating to CM 11? Also go to settings, apps, all, scroll down to the Kindle App, clear cache and data and force stop it and then reopen it.

Thanks for the suggestions, but I restored my TWRP backup and went back to rooted stock. The Kindle reader app works and my wife has access to the apps she wants. She' s happy so that's good enough for me.
