ok so i have installed the framework, pasted vending.apk, and can not get es file explorer to change permissions nor can i install root explorer to set permissions,

what do i do?

edit, got it fixed...
[Kindle Fire Android Development] sxe:
Hey guys,

thx for all the tips, i got all apps on my fire and it works. :)

Anyway, i have a question.

Whenever the market is launched, e.g. by clicking a market link in the browser or when an other app calls the market, the amazon appstore gets opened. Is there a way to open the android market instead? Like on "normal" android phones? Simply removing the amazon market does not work, i already tried that.

Thx

Android Market on AKF in the Czech Republic

Hello,

I tried to launch Android Market on my Kindle Fire, I rooted succesfully but I can´t download File Expert (or any other application of this kind) from Amazon Store because it is not available in the Czech Republic yet - in fact I can´t download any application from Amazon Store. Is there any other way how to install any file manager in the Kindle fire without access to Amazon Store?

Calendar and contacts

I got Google apps all working just fine, but it seems like i can't get my calendar to show my calendars and I don't have my contacts syncing.

Are others having this issue? Or did I miss a step?

Market Continually crashes

I have root, I copied com.amarket.apk from gapps to system/app. I changed permissions to 644 then installed. It crashes every time. Can someone give me an idea of what I can do now to get fixed?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] shortarm:
The best way to do it is if already have an Android phone, you can use an app like App Manager to back up the apps to your SD and transfer them from there to your Kindle.

If you can do that, try doing a Google search for the apps. Some devs have them posted as apk files. Just make sure you go into the kindles settings and allow non-market apps.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] duff2:

Thank you for your advice. I have .apk file but I don´t know where in Kindle Fire should I copy it and install it. There is no file manager in my Kindle Fire. Thank you.

unroot?

What is the easiest method to get unrooted KF back?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Marius G:
I was searching for a week for this, because im from Romania and amazon store doesnt work also. In fact its easy. Root your device and then install Root Explorer directly on the device. Open the browser in Kindle, search for Root Explorer, download and install. It works, now my problem is that GMArket is opening but i cant install/download any app. Hope it helps!

Android Market in The Czech Republic

Thank you for your reply. I downloaded Root explorer.apk into my kindle from internet but I dont know hot to install it - how to run the .apk file. Web browser - downloader says that the file can not be opened. I am confused.......:confused:
[Kindle Fire Android Development] george120879:
can someone find a sollution for the market on kindle?

trying to move the vend file to the system app file and all i get is you cannot paste here because the file system is ready only.

Can anyone help me with this please?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Thelgow:
I don't think they go over it in this thread, search around. Theres another file you need GoogleContactsSyncAdapter.apk and then I think you need a syncsettings app from store to actually trigger the google sync. Like I said, do a search on that apk and you should get some answers. My contacts are synched, I dont use calendar to confirm however.

I'm sure you followed the steps in the first place, mainly

"6. Change mount option from RO to RW (read-only to read-write)

Paste Vending.apk into the /system/app folder"
[Kindle Fire Android Development] thejrah:
Looks like Root Explorer isn't available for the Kindle Fire anymore.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Thelgow:
Almost certain it never was. Sideloaded from elsewhere. You grab ES explorer from kindle store, then install root explorer.

Kindle Fire - Android Market

Yes and that is a big problem for me because Amazon Market is not available in my country. I have Root explorer .apk but I can not install it because I can not grab ES from Amazon store. Is there any solution? Please help....
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Seagrizzly:
I got Root Explorer a few months ago on amazon market was a free app of the day.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Kuntao:
Open up your browser and fill in the location to your apk file in the address bar like so:

file:///mnt/sdcard/Download/Vending.apk

where "mnt/sdcard/Download/Vending.apk" is the path to the file you're trying to install.

Apps such as Facebook, Twitter, etc are missing from the Market. How do you get the full selection?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] a1exus:
where do I get Vending.apk ? and Root Explorer App?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] ghost_og:
Success!

Just wanted to say I was able to successfully root, install the market, and get all my usual apps, before unrooting to get VOD back.

Other than a few minor hiccups along the way, everything is working as it should.

One minor thing. The gapps.rar file does not actually have an .apk named "Vending", but instead it is "com.amarket.apk". Just thought I'd throw that out there in case others are wondering why they don't see the Vending.apk that is mentioned repeatedly.

I initially tried using the .apk that came with the gapps.zip from ROM Manager but could not get any downloads to install. After deleting that one, and using the "com.amarket.apk" from the .rar in the OP I was up and running.

Thanks once again to everyone who has made this possible. :D

installed market, and worked fine. but no icon anywhere? I don't understand. also is there any way to make the icons on the kindle launcher less grainy?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] duff2:
Thank you very much my friend. THANK YOU!!
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Kuntao:
For the time being, you have to sideload apps that don't appear in the market.

From the OP:

"UPDATE: If you still have problems with your android market use this file instead http://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=784772&d=1321476329"

Use:

or

or another launcher of your choice.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] luitron:

[Kindle Fire Android Development] bsoplinger:
Right where you enabled root in the settings was another checkbox that talks about mounting /system as read/write or perhaps R/W and you need to choose that also. Once you're done moving those files you'll want to uncheck it so you don't mistakenly change something you don't wasn't changed.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Rubarb:
Anyonw with download prelims use the com.amarket.apk from the gapp's.

Vending.apk is old and has issues.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] segfault82:
works great, thanks. had a couple questions

1. is there any way to get higher res icons for the manually installed apks? almost all of the apps i've installed (root explorer, gmail, google+, youtube, maps, etc) show the low res icon in the carousel.

2. i installed google maps and street view using the apks in the zip file, but for some reason street view doesn't work. can someone confirm if it works for them?

google services framework wont install

I have read numerous places where people have been able to side load the google services framework app without rooting and install google books and music to get them to work without root. I can install books and music. But es file explorer wont install google services framework. it just says, file not installed. Anyone have any advice?

Thank. :)
[Kindle Fire Android Development] ZeusIII:
Worked great for me. Running 6.2.1 rooted and all steps were simple and worked perfectly.

One quick question. Is there a way to get higher resolution thumbnails for the apps? This way when using the stock kindle launcher, all my recently used google market apps don't just look like garbage? I like the look and feel of the kindle launcher, only the thumbnails for all apps not downloaded from the amazon app store all look awful.

Edit: Just tried installing Gmail and when i open it just immediately quits. I have root and su as root explorer works and i have go launcher installed and working.

Any help would be much appreciated
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Gam3r 4 Life:
Hey guys, I dont know if this happened to you, but in the calendar app here I noticed that the top of the month in month view was cut off and you couldnt see the first few days like 1st, 2nd, etc. Well this bugged me and I noticed that this apk was for version 2.3.7. And every apk I found that worked on the Fire was that same apk with the top of the calendar cut off. So after trying several free ones from the market I found one that works perfect and shows the whole month. All you have to download the new zip from here http://www.mediafire.com/?ium9zsglxop1xyf , extract, and use just the calendar.apk. Install that and the calendar in month view looks right now. I believe its version 2.3.1. Dont know why it works right and the other doesnt, but Im glad it does.

Sounds like you don't have google frameworks installed. Do that one first, then reinstall the other google apps you're trying to get working.

On a side note, I switch batteries a lot and charge on external chargers.

My thunderbolt is about to become a hand me down to my wife when/if the Galaxy Nexus is released. My question is what will I need to do to activate the the thunderbolt on her line? My concern is that I am rooted and running a custom ROM and I don't want Verizon to spaz out because of this.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] voxigenboy:
take out your sim card(keep it yourself or trash it), give her the phone. when she takes it to a local Verizon she just has to tell them she wants it on her line & they'll give her a new sim(for free) and that's that. they aren't going to care about it being rooted(lots of Verizon employees root their phones also). if anything, if they like the rom on the phone they'll compliment it.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cmcconkey:
Thanks for the reply. I just didn't want any problems to pop up with it being taken in rooted and rommed. The rom isn't one that will raise attention (Gingerbreaton 1.0, it just runs SUPER fast and does great on battery) so I doubt that they will even notice it.

This is AOSP-4.0.1-R1, compiled and built for the HTC Sensation 4G (should work on the regular HTC Sensation too).

You can follow progress on Twitter.

Update (11/30/2011): We're not dead! New builds incoming soonish. For now look to the latest pages and grab stoneyjonez' build.

This is a REALLY early build - almost nothing works properly yet.

Huge props and thanks to stoneyjonez for providing and modifying the device configuration for pyramid. Also for continued help/assistance - we're basically working on this together.

This is the *development thread* - please go here for discussion and help flashing it. If you are about to tell us "X device has ICS, you should use their ROM!", put it in the god damn discussion thread. DO NOT post it here.

Credits:

- CM7.1-SELFKANG-Alphafied 10 for HTC Sensation, for providing some libs, device configuration and a clean AOSP-ish ROM

- AOSP, obviously

- stoneyjonez for device config

- Practically everyone in this thread (the SDK port for the Sensation)

- dsixda's kitchen, for making the packaging easier.

Working:

- Boots

- Displays some graphics (though they are torn diagonally and basically unusable)

- Hardware controls (volume up/down)

- TOUCHSCREEN, as of this post (Touches won't release yet, though)

Not working:

- Almost everything else

DO NOT FLASH THE RECOVERY IMAGE. We don't know what it does just yet.

Proper downloads:

test1 (AOSP, booting!): http://www.mediafire.com/?my054essk6g0le6

This is with 8GB of RAM, though I probably have to downgrade to 6GB of RAM soon (someone else needs one of my 4GB sticks :()
