Hi, I've recently upgraded to the 8.0 firmware it's very good and battery life seems much improved but i have noticed the Amazon app is missing as one of the preinstalled apps. I know you can download the amazon shopping app off the play store but i think the stock app that comes with the 7.0 roms looks better. I have tried getting it out of the rom files but once it is installed it always fails to update. So if anyone with a 7.0 rom installed could extract the amazon app id really appreciate it.
Thanks

Not going to guarantee this will work, but here ya go.
Thanks very much for the upload.
I managed to get it to update properly. It's seems that disabling the kindle app and trying to update any other amazon app stops it working so once I enabled the kindle app all other apps would update properly

Hi,
I have seen that some people have posted the latest version of the Android Market (2.2.6) as an apk file.
My questions are:
- If it will this work on DHD and correctly overwrite the old Market app and the market update utility ?
- Is installing the app this way legal ?
So anyway I did install it and it works fine.
A much needed upgrade.
I believe you can use this new market .apk file without problems, but I've read that a new official update is cooming soon, so if you doubtful if it's illegal, just wait.
It is working well here. If anyone wants it
Taken from here
Go to Settings>Applications>Mange Applications>Market>Clear Data... then install.
For some reasson I can't update it =(...
Wiped old market installed fine

Uhhh for me it seems to be the other way around :S! The new one loads almost instantly, the old one took a few more seconds.
cud my longer start-up time be related to the fact that i downloaded the apk file from here and installed the update manually ?
Thanks for the post.
Runs perfectly on my DHD. Better than the old version actually. A very welcome market update.

I wiped data after i downloaded and installed the New Market apk File. I still am facing the issue of waiting for the market to launch . Takes Abt 5s and is irritating. Is this normal ?

Is the new Market here in this thread for rooted phones?
Hello everyone,
I recently rooted my KF HD 8.9 and installed the Play Store. All is well and most of the apps I want installed without an issue.
However there's one app that I swear by that isn't "supported on this device". Chrome.
I ended up sideloading an APK I grabbed from the web but that's neither ideal and it's not a current version.
My question is:
Is there a way to bypass the "not supported" message via an app like Market Enabler?
OR
Is there another (I'd imagine legal) way to obtain the current APK from an alternate website?
Not sure if this will help you but I'll share my method. What I do is just download whatever app I need to my SGS1 and back it up with Titanium Backup. Then, I mount it to my PC and pull the .apk out of the TitaniumBackup folder and side load it. I did this with Nova Launcher and HD Widgets and so far everything is working wonderfully.

Install the 1mobile market app; it keeps track of the last version and do the upgrade just like google play.

It will not help because it will redirect you into Google play
Apktop.com
Since chrome is free then this is legal

Nope, the 1mobile market app does the upgrade by itself.
It even upgrades sideloaded apps
btw... it will mark the kindle skype app as outdataded, do not, i repeat do not substitute the kindle skype with the market skype.
Good Evening All
I am after a bit of help/advice
Ok, I have a Kindle fire HD 7inch
I have [11/15] BETA CM10.2 + 3.0.50+ KERNEL installed and gapps-jb-20130813-signed installed
I have no issues using any of the google apps all happy with that.
The issue i have is that when i download Amazon app store it downloads ok, it installs ok
But when i go to run the App it crashes every time no matter what
I have installed via email, downloaded from amazon, sideloaded, copied from computer to tablet via ES file explore
installed from drop box, all instales looked like they installed ok.
i have tried deleting the cache still no joy, i have deleted the KFHD from amazon still no joy
i can log into my amazon account via the WWWeb so my account works
I was wondering if i had missed somthing out or have not installed somthing i should have
thank you in advance

Having the same issue. Tried redownloading and that didn't help. Ended up browsing for an older version and that did work. Just don't update it when prompted or back to force close you go.
Seems to work fine on my S4,just not on Cm 10.2 for some reason.

Try downloading it from Amazon while on your tablet http://www.amazon.com/gp/mas/get/android If it does not work then I can upload the official Amazon APK I am using which is not the super new one. I have a habit about waiting to see how an updated app gets reviewed before updating and using Titanium to back up first just in case the update messes the app up.

This seems to be an issue for everyone across the board using cyanogenmod. Do any devs know what's going on here? I currently can no longer get any version of the Amazon store back on mine, new or old. I took the version 7 update when I was prompted and it, of course, doesn't work. Well, I didn't have a backup of version 5 anywhere so I grabbed an apk of 5, tried to install that back, and it force closes as well. Sucks bad considering a few of the games I have installed require the Amazon store to run even if you've linked them to Google Play.

I wiped the old data and updated to the new Amazon App and it FC. Flashed my nandroid with the previous version and no issues. This is not the first time the Amazon APK has gone haywire. I don't think it has anything to do with CM.

I downloaded the new Amazon APK and it does FC. Flashed a nandrod and have the last version and it works just fine. So I would remove the new Amazon APK and use SD maid or Titanium to wipe any old data too. Then you can try installing last version Amazon APK I uploaded to my drop box. This should fix the force closing issue. Make sure to reboot after installing if needed and uncheck Amazon apk in your sandbox if it's lit up so it can access your info.

I have managed to sort it.
i had made a back before flashing using titanium and it looks like it kept the backup folder on the SD card
so i reinstaled titanium after flash and restored my amazon account rebooted and is now installed, i also
took off a couple of folders of apps that are no longer installed no program managed to show me these
anyway thank you for your help

So if I am reading this correctly, you went back to an older version via restoring your backup?

Hi
RedsonRising
I originally had free kindle installed and made a backup with titanium when i put on CM10.2
it seems that nothing at all was wiped on the card so when i installed titanium again
it showed the backup so i installed from the titanium back and that seemed to fix it
i installed the program plus data files
regards
Paul
Well, I've now tried everything to get the Store back. I've cleared data, ran SD Maid, sifted through the root directories looking for anything related to a previous install that might be causing conflict, converted to a system app..nothing is working. I get a force close on version 5 and 7 both. I've even upgraded the tablet to CM 11 and still getting the fc. Help!

That's how Titanium works. As long as you don't wipe the data from your File Explorer (or write over it if you only allow one backup) it will be there for ever. That's how those of us that jump ROM's keep our info.

Yea, if you have Titanium, just restore the app data to that app any you're back to the previous version in two seconds.

So that solves the problem short term (I installed an older version), but it doesn't solve the issue of not being able to run the latest version. Granted it may not offer any improvements we can't live without, but down the line it could cause issues.

Amazon AppStore and Amazon KindleApp now work
I am on an Amazon Kindle Fire HD 7" running CM 11 from Hashcode's latest release on xda app-developers two weeks ago. The Amazon Kindle App would force close. I tried every combination of data and cache clearing with shutdown and restart then reloading the Amazon AppStore and Kindle App.
I had success after using LinearEquation's older version of the Amazon AppStore, with a simple side load. Prior to the load I cleared the data and cache and then removed the Amazon AppStore and Amazon Kindle App. After installing the older version of the Amazon AppStore from LinearEquation and the current version of the Amazon Kindle App from Google Play Store... Success! both work.
To confirm it was the new version of the AppStore causing the problem and not the Kindle App, I then updated the Amazon AppStore and the AppStore forced close again; however the Kindle App remained working.
Thanks for making the download available! Returned my Kindle to an Amazon reader without the annoying Amazon OS.

I went and downloaded newer versions of Google Play services from apk mirror and now keep getting a permissions notification.
What version are you running on your stock att branded nexus 6 and do you have the apk?
Thanks.
I have the moto version and mine came with 6.1.84. I installed 6.5 but it caused my Google Inbox to stop working along with GPM. I'm just going to wait for it to update on its own
Attached a pic of the updated version I have on my N6 (from T-Mobile). Should be the same across carriers, but someone with an AT&T version can confirm. Also, this version is giving me huge battery drain (either first or second on the list in settings). No other issues besides that though.

Stock. 6.1.88 Att no issues with battery drain. Doesn't even show up on my battery use and all options are on.
Mine is running 6.1.88 -736! Looking at Google's explanation of the - XYY version, this doesn't make any sense! This is a stock ATT N6. I have only unlocked the bootloader.
I really wonder if it is on the 736 version because I bumped my Nexus 4 running lollipop for the initial setup. I have thought about flashing the factory lrx21o image and seeing what happens...
Shouldn't I have 738 or something? A

Updated via the play store or did you manually update it?
Manually updated by downloading the apk
Someone with the stock version, do you think you could download the apk so I can flash the stock one? I want to avoid having to reflash the whole boot image just for the stock version, and I can't find the apk anywhere else.

Disable the play services then downgrade it to the stock version and re-enable it.

Hi,
I have an m8, and i can't seem to download the app from Google Play, cause apparently it doesn't compatible with my device.
From reading online about i know it's not true. I can only assume it's some how connected to the face that my phone is rooted.
So i wondered how can i still download and install the app ?
Any help will be greatly appreciated as I'm about to get a new car in which i can use the app on it.
that's the rom i'm using -

Thank you

Well i solved the problem .
Apparently the stupid Play Store decided on it's own that the app is not compatible.
and it's apparently doing so to a lot of other device that are compatable with the app.
So, all i did was to download the app apk from AppMirror.
Although the new version 1.6 didn't work, but when i installed 1.5 the app worked like a charm.
Hope it will help others that want to install to app but can't do so from the Play Store.
Cheers ...
