I've read a bit on Google Apps permissions, but I'm kind of stuck figuring out how to/what needs to be set for Google Play Movies to work consistently without having to reinstall it again after shutting down the KFHD. I can only surmise that something doesn't have the correct permissions set. Any help here?

Since no one replied yet, I'll try to help. There is a post about GAPPS without rooting so I'll paste instructions here and maybe you can get the permissions:
1. Enable installation of applications from unknown sources in Kindle Fire Settings.
2. Install GoogleLoginService.apk.
3. Reboot.
4. Install the Google Apps.
5. Start YouTube. Sign In. It will take you to Google Account Manager to create/use existing Google credentials.
6. Same goes for other apps. In case sign in fails for any of the apps (except Maps/GTalk) drag down the Kindle Fire notification bar, click on the notification for "Permission requested....." and assign required permissions.

Can't see the notification in the pull down. Maybe I need to go into settings to see those notifications.
I gained access ability to the notification when I installed the GoogleLoginService apk from what I remember.

Hi everyone,
My home button and the "swipe from the top" has disappeared since my last restart. I really have no idea what's happened and now I am using the apps called "Button Savior" to return the home screen.Maybe thid was because I have deleted some system files from system/data/data/com.android. providers.settings. I have restarted several times and it didn't work for my device.Now its really inconvenient to use the Kindle Fire HD. My current software version is 7.1.13. Could you guys help me to solve this problem? Thank you very much in advance.
maybe pull the rom in the development section and see if you can get the deleted files from it?
the only time my framework dissapeared was when i was trying to install the play store. i got it back by renaming a couple google framework apk's in the system folder and restarting...
Hi adiliyo,
How can I pull the Rom in the development section? As I have deleted many system files, I think I am in a much bigger trouble than yours.

if you can't get the individual files, maybe reflashing that rom will fix your problems
This happened to me, and some other folks. Look for a thread asking about how to view/run settings.
Anyway, some fixes mentioned were to turn off notifications for Gmail - hard to do if you can't get to settings, though.
What worked for me was to try and side-load an application - copy an APK file to the 'downloads' folder on your KFHD via a connected computer using the windows file explorer, or ADB - and then install the APK. In my case by clicking on it using a file manager. The KFHD told me that I would have to enable foreign application installs to finish the install of the side-loaded APK, and took me to that portion of settings that dealt with that. In that section was the 'Reset to Factory Defaults' button.
I pressed the reset button, and got everything back. Earlier applications (google play store) that I hadn't un-installed in an attempt to fix the problem were still there. Super User was intact. I downloaded & installed everything again, and all is working as it should be.
Until Amazon comes clean with this walking ad-server, details on how to modify it without introducing issues are going to be sketchy . It's just our lot in life, if you'll pardon. I appreciate having super user access, and all the Google apps I love to use, but what's really required is the ability to modify the boot loader. Until that's available, it's going to be try until it fails, and then scramble to recover.
Nice HW, but limited by Amazon's vision of the customers.

It works!!!! all the missing parts have come back. the Go launcher EX has saved in Cloud.
solution
download an app called my android, open the app go to my apps and find the settings app then go to device and then go to factory reset. its the only way I found to access settings when drop down didn't work. after resetting to factory my buttons all came back after doing the tooltip for startup
What worked for me on my AF tablet was to uninstall all 4 Google APK files, then uninstall the Launcher Hijack. The tablet swipe down and home button both came back for me. I then re-installed the Google APKs, but didn't re-install Launcher Hijack. Tablet works fine, functions are normal, just have to put up with seeing the default Amazon screen first before tapping the Nova Launcher icon to get to my custom screen, a minor inconvenience, and I didn't have to do a factory reset.
I've got a real issue here in that I was able to get Swiftkey 3 Tablet installed on a new 8.9 but it is misbehaving and continues to crash and respawn in an endless loop. I have a few seconds in between crashes to navigate around the device and I have tried several things to no avail.
I cannot Force Stop the service. I cannot switch to the default keyboard as there does not appear to be a menu item available for this. I've tried uninstalling but that fails. I've also tried resintalling but it stay in the same state.
Does anyone have experience with forcing the service to stop respawning and to switch the setting back to the default keyboard. If I cannot resolve this issue I will most likely have to reset the device which will cost me many hours in lost time.
Thanks in advance for any ideas.
I was able to find a utility on this forum that exposed the Language and Keyboard settings so that I could access the default keyboard again. This eliminated the crash loop. However, I still cannot uninstall Swiftkey. Any ideas?
Did you try to uninstall it with titanium backup?

Thanks for the tip. I tried to uninstall with Titanium backup and it did not appear to work. However there was then an uninstall button available in the Installed Applications menu and I was able to get it uninstalled.
This may have also appeared because when I did a reboot an update was applied which appears to have reset some things. One of the things that has changed is that all of the apps that I side installed or installed through the Play Store have disappeared from the Apps menus. It's not an issue since I have Nova Launcher installed and everything still shows in there.
So the issue with getting Swiftkey to work properly still remains and I sure am having withdrawl from not having this app. If anyone has any ideas or a procedure on how to get that to work it would really be helpful.
But I cannot customize Nova apparently and add icons to the desktops. What a pain. Still looking for solutions to get this all running smoothly.
i managed to get it working after finding this instruction http://blog.wuepics.de/2012/11/swiftkey-auf-dem-kindle-fire-hd/#axzz2GznJiTxt
unfortunately it is in german but the gist of it is
install swiftkey (via play store or side loading?)
find the apk file (data/app likely)
using es explorer click and hold the apk file until you see the options
select view
go into the lib folder > armeabi-v7a
extract libswiftkeysdk-java-internal to somewhere you ll find it (download folder...)
copy the extracted .so file in lib/armeabi-v7a to system/lib
copy app from data/app to system/app
click to install in system/app (not sure if needed, i did any way. sorry i am kindle/android noob )
change permissions to user read/write, rest read only (same permission as the other apps)
reboot kindle
go to keyboard settings, select swiftkey3
no more crashes.
unfortunately the kindle menu overlaps the keyboard a little bit in landscape mode. but to me that is just a minor inconvenience.
hope this helps.

That doesn't seem to do anything for me. Each time my kindle reboots, I have to go to system\apps and reinstall Swiftkey in order to get it to work. If I don't, I'll get keep getting that error msg "****key Tablet has stopped"
Has anyone figured a solution to this?

After I read the response that the link was ONLY in German, I went to that site, and allowed my pc to translate it into English. This is what
I found:
In order to perform these steps is root access required.
Instructions
1 Charge here "NOOKcolor Tools" and installs it on the KFHD
2 Now go download your desired Tastaturapp on the Kindle.
3 Now open your file browser on the KFHD (eg ES Explorer )
4 Examined the copied in step 2 Tastaturapp
5 Keep it pressed to the apk., And choose "view"
6 Opens the "lib" folder
7 Opens the armeabi-V7A folder and select the . "so" file (!) from.
8 Click on "Extract". You possibly can you choose the path.
9.Geht now to the folder where you . "so" you extracted files and copy all the files into the / system / lib directory
10 Installed . "apk" the Tastaturapp and copied the . "apk" from the / data / app folder to / system / app Verzechnis
11.Startet the KFHD and opens new NOOKcolor Tools.
12th Now you can your keyboard to select under "Select Keyboard".
13th Ready!
Have fun with it

Now is it reliable? I don't know, but if you pay attention to the FIRST LINE, it states ROOT ACCESS IS REQUIRED. I have not rooted my Kindle Fire HD 7", so I can't try it out. But for those who have rooted their Kindle Fire, maybe you can try this. The site I had translated, http://blog.wuepics.de/2012/11/swiftkey-auf-dem-kindle-fire-hd/#axzz2GznJiTxt, is the site that was given. Good luck if you try it. ffman2152
I apparently posted in the wrong section (for kindle 2 in case anyone wants to delete that one).
I rooted my 7" Kindle fire HD shortly after getting it. To my surprise there was an automated program that did it for me so I didn't have to learn a whole lot. That was ~ 5 months ago. The big thing was to add the play store and a custom launcher which I did (apex launcher in case it matters).
Yesterday the only launcher available to me was the kindle launcher. I thought perhaps an update went wrong so I uninstalled and reinstalled the apex launcher via the play store. The launcher works, but I have to access it by going to the play store and clicking "open" on the app page (where you could install/uninstall the app). I searched how to install a launcher since I remembered taking different step other than just installing from the play store. The article mentioned going to app/data and when I do it says i no longer have root access.
I tried running the root program and I got a access denied message and root failed try again.
My question ends up being did I actually loose root access or is it something else? All I really need is to have the home button take me to the apex launcher and I wouldn't know anything had changed.
It was suggested that I run root checker (Thanks mindmajick). I did and it said Sorry, no root access. My software version 7.2.3 .
Any suggestions for a next step?
OK, this is no biggie. It happened to me. So if you don't have root access, but you still have play store installed, it's just a matter of rooting it again. But one last thing to check. Go to you file explorer or root explorer and go to " \" I am supposing you know how to do that. You get there by if using es file explorer leading up when you first open it.When you get to \, then you navigate to "system ".Then look file. A folder that is called "Xbin" and open it. If you have a file called "su " in it you are still rooted and I don't know what is going on. If you don't have it, then you just uninstall all things you added from the play store that are system files (optional. If younger like me a bit OCD them you should do it.) Then uninstall superuser and apex, and then reboot. Then root the kindle fire HD again. I suppose you know how to do that.
Please give me a thanks if I helped you, and if this doesn't work, I will see what else we can do.

There was not a file called su in the Xbin folder.
So if i'm lazy/busy I can uninstall superuser, apex and then reroot it? Do you know what happened and how it was caused? Is doing as you mentioned preferable to "restoring to factory default" as far as stability with any legacy fragments that will be left?
Sorry if these are beginner questions, but I've really only learned as much as I needed to to root my kindle (which wasn't much). On a related note, is there a post limit where you don't have to keep entering the captchas to post?
Reroot your kindle. Reset to factory defaults will leave some traces, and then you try to reroot it, you get a bricked kindle. just uninstall things manually, the super user application and leave the market on there, but uninstall apex. Then root it using binary tool and qemu. Root.
edit you have to uninstall super user and apex launcher and reboot the kindle. Then you territory it using said methods.

Apex hung on the uninstall, meaning it said uninstalling for about 10 minutes. I rebooted and i was given the option to install it in the play store so I assumed it was gone. Superuser also removed. I tried rooting it using RootQemu. It gave me an error in the second step
"Step 2 - Expoiting...
/system/bin/sh: cannot create /data/local.prop: Permission denied"
OK. I want you to installation bin4y method. You run the run me in that, and make sure adb driver is working. After. Binary method your kindle will be slow and sluggish. That's OK. Run the qemu root and follow instructiona, and you should be fine

Ok im on my computer now, i will type better. Download the Bin4y Rooting mehtod here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1886460
Then extract it, make sure adb is intalled by going to device manager and plug in kindel, make sure no yello or red exclamation points by Kindle fire or portable device. IMPORTANT: MAKE SURE YOU HAVE LATEST JAVA
THen run the "RunMe.bat" in the Bin4y root folder. Follow the instructions. After you are done with that, kindle will be slow and sluggish. PLug in again, and run Rootqemu method (the "bat" file" ) and follow instructions and if computer doesnt recognize the kindle after each reboot, unplug it and plug it back in. After qemu root done, check kindle for superuser app, and open your es file explorer. GO to settings, and root settings. Put a checkmark by EVERYTHING! and if a popup comes saying "Es file explorer root premission" something like that, click grant/allow. Then you are rooted!
Thanks if i helped.
Still nothing. When I ran the Bin4y is asked if I wanted to do a restore. While I was going wtf do I do now, it apparently timed out and did it anyway.
Once that was done I ran rootqemu and got the same error message: "Step 2 - Expoiting...
/system/bin/sh: cannot create /data/local.prop: Permission denied"
I appreciate your help!
Did you ever disable OTA (Over The Air) Updates? When you rooted the first time were you running 7.2.1 or 7.2.2? The updates will remove root. To me, that's what it sounds like. Someone will have an answer.... in fact, if you are willing to invest $13, you should check out both links in my signature. They would provide a permanent solution to your issue.
Good Luck!

Do you have ADB drivers and Java the latest version installed? Any way, keep your KFHD unlocked when you are doing the "RunME" from Bin4y ROOT many android method. If you have ADB and Java installed, and your kindle is plugged in a USB 2.0 or 3.0 slot on your computer, you run Bin4y runme and watch for a popup on your kindle that says restore in the bottom left(i think). Press restore. Then after that is done its slow etc etc (in before post) if bin4y is done correctly qemu should run fine.

No, I never disabled OTA updates, apparently I should have read a little more than I did...but it worked for a couple of months after the update. I'm in no hurry for a fix...I was going to say I could try making one, but i'm not going to take the time right now for that :silly: . I might look into ordering one just in case.

Yes the adb drivers are installed and I have the latest java. I'm not sure if it was unlocked or not. I did not press restore, when that came up I was too busy going oh sh!t, what do I do now and then it did something on it's own. I don't think it restored it since it is not running slow. I will hopefully have time tomorrow to mess with it a little more.

Be sure to click the restore next time. And it WILL be slow and sluggish. Then just remember to use QemuRoot method! THIS IS A MUST! YOU CAN"T DO SH*T ON YOUR KINDLE IF YOU DON'T DO THE QEMUROOT.

Seems to have worked, just got done with RootQemu and it said it was done. After the restore, I didn't have an pictures (icons, screen saver) which had me a little worried, they came back after step 3 though. Superuser is back on. Now to re-remember what I need to do now (adding turn off OTA updates to the list).
Thanks a lot for your help miztah!!
Krsmqn, i ordered one of those cables just in case I need it in the future. I figure for a few $ i would rather have it than not.

No problem, I was in the same predicament as you a couple of weeks ago. Have fun with your rooted kindle! And be sure to disable Amazon OTA updates. Here is a link: (I would use method number 1 because you can use that utility for a while, and use it to fix a bricked Kindle, now that the bootloader has been cracked.) You don't really need that cable unless you are messing around with the bootloader.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2086450
Thanks for the link. The cable is already on it's way via a slow boat from china. Figure I will have it in a month
I am now having a problem with the apex launcher. I had the regular version before and was going to try the pro this time. I installed it and when I go to run it it says "Apex launcher has stopped". When I go to the app description page, it give me the option to force stop but not to uninstall. I tried reinstalling it same thing. I moved the apk file to /system/app and gave it user R/W, group & other read only. then installed. Do i perhaps need to manually delete something?
Try completely removing it from both system /application & data/ application (if applicable), save one to your sdcard. Then instead of clicking on the application to install, long press (on the one you saved to sdcard ) and choose move (to). Move the application to system /app. Do not install. Instead, long press and choose properties (at the bottom of the long press menu ). Change permissions to rw-r-r. Save. Do not Install. Reboot. You should see "kindle is upgrading" upon rebooting. When it's ready, you should have it as a launcher option.
Good luck.
Or you could just delete the apex launcher from system. /Application and the data/app . Then reboot, install apex from play store and move from data application to system application, and change properties to rwxrxr and reboot without installing. Kinda the same thing just a little change in beginning.

I tried it that way you suggested Krsmqn, same thing, the error message saying apex launcher has stopped. I did not see a file to delete in the data/app folder unless it has an odd name.

I followed what you had said, d/l from the app store and moving it. When I was in settings it had a message in red about going to recently used apps and removing other loaders listed. I will check when I get home and see if it is still there.
I used Option 30 in FirstAide : "Install Lock Screen and Disable The Original Lock Screen" which installed No Lock and Magic Locker
How do I uninstall them and reactivate the original lock screen? They don't respond to the usual long press option and don't appear in Android Assistant's uninstall tool or in Uninstaller.
The device is being sent back so I need to sort this out.
Option 22 Unroot the Kindle did not remove Magic Locker/Unlocker.
A factory reset left the 'No Lock' icon on the carousel but removed the Magic Locker icon.
I rooted it again, but a long press still would not remove either No Lock.
I used Option 30 to install the magic locker again in the hope that after installation, it might be removed in the conventional way - it didn't. Another Option 22 to unroot did not remove either of them.
I need to get these apps removed so I can send it back so can anyone help please. I'm willing to manually search for and delete the app files if need be, but I don't know where they are or what they're called.
If you have root now, install a root browser of some sort like Root Browser Lite. then look in the system/app folder for the no lock app and delete it if it is there. It may have a slightly different name but look for the icon.
There is also a Q&A section for questions like these.
Ok, root you kindle fire hd again. Check to see if you have superuser intsalled, and the SU file in the xbin folder in system folder.After its rooted, use your file explorer to get into system/app. Delete the magiclocker, and No Lock. Magiclocker will look like"com.(something i forgot) " and no lock too. Before deleting those, open no lock to make sure locking IS enabled. Then go to data/app and delete them from that folder too. After deleting both of those, you can reboot your kindle, and the regular lockscreen will show up. And try this way of unrooting: Go into system/app, delete all things you added in there, like (google play, vending.apk, googleservicesframework.etc, launchers) and go into data/app and do the same. Then reboot again. There should be no googgle play or launchers. Check again to see if there is nothing you added in there again.Then you should go into system/xbin and find the SU file. Delete that, AND DO NOT REBOOT YET. Go into apps, edlete things you downloaded from Gplay for absolute cleansiness, and after that uninstall the app superuser. Then reboot, and then click restore to factory defaults to bring it back to stock.
Thanks for your help (I couldn't find any Q&A on this but I am in a it of a panic as its being picked up tomorrow and I go to work shortly)
I have managed to get rid of googleservicesframework and vending but cannot find GPlay or similar. Google Play isn't listed in the apps.... has it gone or is it hiding somewhere?
Also, how do I "uninstall the app superuser"? SuperSU is listed in the apps but a long press doesn't uninstall it. Will deleting the apk file uninstall it. (Don't want to delete it without being sure because I may need it if the app isn't unistalled)
If an app is the system/app folder, then if you delete it and restart the kindle it will be removed. So I think superSU might be in there
But obviously removing superSU is the last app you should be removing, because then your root wont be working properly and you wont be able to get back into the system folder

yes, I recognised that, which is why I was worried I was looking in the wrong place.
anyway, it looks ok, no sign of the 'wrong' apps being there as far as I can tell anyway. Got to go to work now so it'll have to do.
thanks, and kudos to all
