At this time its not possible to use or change the live wallpaper on the KFHD sorry
I believe that the live wallpapers picker application is what your looking for, but I have not tried it yet so.
UPDATE
so I just loaded it up (copy to system app folder with perm. Rw-r--r--) and it works just fine. So just find the a pk through the googles and away you go.

An idea where we can find the apk?
Just Google livewallpaperpicker.apk, and a forum should have it in like the second link.

Got it installed but it force closes whenever I try to use it
Weird, it might be a bad application. Worst comes to worst, you can download a nexus 7 stock rom, and pull the actual livewallpaperspicker.apk to use. It's either that, or do you even have any live wallpaper applications themselves installed?

After further messing around with it, try this.
1) download LiveWallpapersPicker.apk from below.
2) Make sure you have root access.
3) Install a application to manage files with root access (example Root Explorer).
4) Move the downloaded file to your Kindle Fire HD. (Remember where you place it).
5) Go into your system/App folder, and move the LiveWallpapersPicker.apk to this folder.
6) Change permissions on LiveWallpapersPicker.apk to rw-r-r.
7) Install Live Wallpapers from the Google Market, or Sideload them
Done, this should help you out.

Hi, I already follow ur steps but nothing happen after I sideloaded it (step 7)... now, I tried to start from 1st step again.. however, when I want to remove "LiveWallpapersPicker.apk" from the system/app/ folder it said: "LiveWallpapersPicker.apk cannot be deleted because the file system read only"... I cannot uninstall it via setting-filter app...
btw, at the system/app folder permission already rw-r--r-- (cant rename it, cant delete it, cant change it permission, cant move it)
what should I do?
thx
===========================================================================================
EDIT: just solved my own remove problem... however, still after installed + permission changed into rw-r-r, I cant use it
:good:
it works. just need to restart kindle fire hd after the steps and ready to set live wallpapers. thanks.
I've followed the steps above and successfully installed galaxy note's live wallpaper, but when I tried to install other live wallpapers as uploaded below, I can't find the access to open and set it as wallpaper. Does any one have ideas about it?

Make sure you are following the steps correctly. Once you move LiveWallpaperPicker.apk to system/app. Double check permissions. restart after that. I'm awesome your using a alternative launcher that is not the kindle launcher? If not that may be your problem. If you have a alternative launcher, long click your home screen and see go to wallpapers, make sure there's a option for live wallpaper. If there is you are all set, you do need to install your own live wallpapers though. I recommend using them from the android play market. Hope this helps.

The gallery, and live wallpapers are completely different applications. Gallery is to look at the pictures, and is a easy way to set wallpapers, and live wallpapers is specifically for live wallpapers only. If this is not what you where talking about, Sorry.
Works Great!
Thanks for the link to the apk. Installation is successful!

Is there a pre-req to this? Where do you find the app after doing the steps so that you can select the wallpaper? Or does the wallpaper automatically show up after install? My kindle still has default ad lock screen and default launcher. On a side note I got my kindle fire hd 2 days ago and have managed to root and get google play working first time rooter here. :victory: but still am nooby
many thanks
I have everything installed and my permissions set as rw-r-r and I go to the live wallpaper and select set wallpaper and nothing happens. What do I do?

Can't Get Live Wallpapers To Work
My KFHD is rooted also. It has a black background screen when using other launchers. When doing the long press on the screen I get the popup to select a wallpaper and it allows me to do so. However, when I press the button to select the wallpaper, it just closes down. I have LiveWallpaper installed in the app it came with the root software, but it doesn't show up anywhere that I can use it. It's in the app folder and not found anywhere else on the device.
Can I get some help on this please? Thanks.
Hello,
I've just rooted my KFHD7 and installed GO Launcher HD.
Everything is working fine but I don't seem to be able to access my kindle books from it. I can go back to the carousel and open books there, but when I try to open the Kindle reader application nothing happens?
Does anyone have any experience with this?
Any help would be appreciated thanks
same issue in Nova, no solution here either

Does that on mine, too. I made a app shortcut (it's the home app) to the Go desktop and just click the house icon to get back to Go after I've finished reading. Does that make sense? It's not ideal but it's ok for me for now.
I tried ADW launcher and the standard Go launcher and they had the same issue. Not tried any others though.
Edit: Oops, sorry replied to wrong thread, that's what I get for having multiple tab's open on xda, d'oh!
I have the same problem.. someone has solved it?
Go to system/app/ folder and move the kindle for otter apk (this is the amazon kindle version that comes with the kindle) so place this in a safe place like your download folder. Then restart kindle device. Once restarted install this one http://db.tt/G14HspkX Now any book thats not been purchased by amazon needs to go in the kindle folder not books folder.

Move the books to your kindle folder. And you need to change the app settings in. The. System folder.

Should not have to change anything. I actually just deleted the books folder the kindle folder is now your books folder. Books folder is from the original kindle app. Kindle folder is for the one you installed. You can copy and paste everything from the books folder to the kindle folder and all your books should transfer to the new app.

Is this method compatible with the latest Kindle apps on Google Play ?
Is it safe after the reboot ?
If yes, i think it will be good than anyone create a tutorial for a Working Kindle App on a launcher
Thanks
Yes this is good thru a reboot all this does is remove it as a system app and makes it a user app. If you install this over the system app then on reboot the kindle reinstalls its version back to the system. So when its just removed the system no longer looks for it. When the new kindle app is installed its installed to sdcard instead and is no longer bound to kindle system.
Also if you want it to work in kindle os as well as launcher keep the books folder and make sure you keep both books folder and kindle folder with the same exact files in them.

This is the same version as the one on Play Store.

Just create a shortcut to amazon kindle. Any books you have open and are actively reading will open automatically. Now to change books just go to home and pick a new one.
What I did was move the Kindle app out of the system folder with Titanium Backup (requires root). I may not have needed to do that because my next step was to "backup and uninstall" (again with Titanium Backup). I then went to Google Play/Market and re-installed from there. Now it works fine.
Update: you do have to change Kindle app from a system app to user app if you want to do a "backup/uninstall". Another option may to just to a "force remove", but I wanted to have the app backed up.
Hi to all!
I have unrooted my kf (beacause i had to restore it), but now i have the market of google and Go launcher hd and i can't uninstall them..
How can i do?
Thank you for your answer =)
You are unrooted... That's why you can't uninstall them. My guess is because they now reside inside /system/app/
But I could be wrong.

I rooted again but i can't remove the go launcher yet!
You may have to manually remove them from system, but first try going into settings then apps and seeing if it is in the list there

If you installed an app into the system folder you do need root to remove it.
Now that you are rooted see if you can find the launcher apk file in the system/apps folder using a file explorer such as es file explorer. If you delete that apk and restart the kindle the app will be uninstalled after boot.
Obviously be careful and make sure you are only deleting apps you have added yourself, and not ones that maybe important system apps

Doesn't work
1) There isn't any market on my apps, i'll post you a screenshot
2) I can't remove the modified bootloader!
I purchased a Kindle Fire HD off Amazon that said it couldn't be registered to an Amazon account but I didn't care as I wanted to put a custom ROM on it anyway. I had a heck of a time attempting to root it, wound up buying a factory fastboot cable and using the KFHD System.img Restore Tool I now have 7.4.8 rooted on my Kindle Fire HD. I installed the PlayStore seperately (because if I chose option 2 with extra launchers and PlayStore the WiFi wouldn't turn on but it worked with Option 1) and attempted to install the Amazon Kindle app so that I could redownload all my books I had on the original Kindle but it says it is already installed and won't let me install it again. It is not listed in the apps on the Kindle and it doesn't give me the option to uninstall it, just Force Stop and Clear Cache.
How can I get the Amazon Kindle app in the app section or carousel?
It's already installed. Go to the original launcher and click books, and that's the kindle app. If you wanna get the Play Store variant of it, install ES File Explorer, enable Root Explorer (if you've rooted, root if you haven't), go to /system/app and delete it from there. I dont specifically remember the apk name though. Good luck.
