[Q] Google APK's on NON-rooted Kindle Fire HD 7"

I got my new kindle fire HD 7" and tried to install Google Music on it and my old Kindle Fire now that I have both. I got the latest APK's dl.dropbox.com/u/10727706/APKs.zip and followed these instructions jordanhotmann.com/2012/01/install-google-apps-on-your-kindle-fire.html
It worked perfectly on my original Kindle Fire. I was able to get everything to install on my Fire HD, but Gmail and Google Book open and immediately close like they are being shut down by the Amazon OS overlay (or whatever you want to call it that they throw on top of android OS)
I can open music, but w/o the other two programs running it doesn't sync. Anyone have any work arounds or know what is causing it to not work on the new Fire HD?
Thanks,
Carson

It is a permissions issue and can only be resolved by having root access. Sorry, but you have to root to install those items correctly.

Are you saying that is a change in the new HD kindle? Because as you can see, I did it today in my older kindle.

The old Kindle and the new Kindle HD have different OS versions and have different security settings.
So... yes, that is what I am saying.

anyone have system image?

I seem to have run into an issue. After rooting my kindle fire hd 7" and installing google play I lost my notification bar and my bottom bar. I basically can only enter one app at a time and if I want to switch I have to reset. I have no access to settings, because the only way I know is to go through the notification bar.
Other than waiting for skorpn cable to get into fastboot, any other way I can possibly get this fixed?

I can pull mine off if you want

I have been dealing with the same issue for hours and was getting ready to throw in the towel and order a cable. This worked perfectly! Thank you

Just glad to hear you can enjoy your kindle again.

disappearing taskbar
i just had the same thing happen to me on unrooted kindle fire hd. I had just searched the forums last night and found out how to get gmail and reader onto my kindle... well I heard a notification and then it disappeared so I knew it had to be something. it IS new email in the inbox of your primary gmail account it seems. it is definitely tied to gmail. I went in and it came back and hasn't disappeared since. there's my two cents' worth of troubleshooting. just thought everyone would like to know.

You guys need to post in the tool you are using to root your Kindle's. There are MANY of you that are having the same issues with loosing your navbar and menu bars with this rooting process. This should NOT be happening.. If you are experiencing bugs with a automated root tool than you need to post in that thread to ask the developer of the tool...

Accidentally deleted Kindle Fire HD Launcher

While "playing" around with my rooted Kindle Fire HD, I managed to accidentally deleted the Launcher.apk under system apps. The Kindle would then run most apps but would require navigating the market and searching the said app to open it since there was no launcher. However, the problem started after I rebooted to see if my Apex launcher would automatically come into play after being installed, since launcher was deleted. The Kindle turns on but is stuck at the animated kindlefire startup screen. When removed from battery, it gives off the usual low battery warning, which might be a sign it isn't completely bricked?
ABD is enabled, but the computer no longer picks up the device under the devices folder. It does however give the standard connection sound when a device is connected. Idk.
I am NOT able to order the factory cable at the moment, and i'm looking for suggestions to enable without the factory cable.

I can upload my launcher apk if that helps since I have the kindle fire hd 7

Go over to the kindle fire hd 7" general forum and look for the kindle fire first aide thread. They might be able to help you there. (If you haven't damaged your bootloader)

[Q] Can't Launch Kindle App With Alternative Launchers

The subject line says it all: under the Nova and Go launchers, I can launch all my apps (Amazon and otherwise, including Amazon app store, Audible, etc.), but cannot open Kindle. I touch the Kindle icon, and nothing happens.
Any ideas?
I'm running a rooted Kindle Fire HD 2013 (generation 3).
Thanks!
Bryan

What I did with regards to this, was to set up a behaviour to launch an app (the home app) by double tapping the screen. Pressing the home button returns to apex launcher.
I could never get the Kindle app to run straight from another launcher, unless it was already in memory.

If you can find a way to create a shortcut to launch a command (such as ROM Toolbox or something) you can use the command "am start -a com.amazon.kindle.otter.internal.action.SHOW_BOOKS". It will show all the books in your library.

I tried running that as root from a terminal, and got an "Activity not started; unable to resolve Intent" error.

That's not too bad a workaround...I think I'll try that for now.
The other thing I tried (that didn't work) was creating a shortcut to the Launcher->Books activity. I'll just have to settle for switching between Nova Launcher and "Home" for the time being...

My bad. It's supposed to be "am start -a com.amazon.kindle.otter.action.internal.SHOW_BOOKS"

That did the trick! I was able to create a shortcut to this as a Rom Toolbox command, and it works like a champ.
Thanks!
