Disable Amazon OTA Updates

Good Job.

Here it is, how to disable OTA:

Also, I have organized a few Google Apps & Services then zipped them into a folder you may download here: Google Apps. I have used all these Apps on my Kindle 7" HD successfully.

If you would like to disable the Amazon OTA Updates, delete or move /system/ect/security/otacerts.zip to /sdcard/download - Reboot the Kindle.

Finally, to eliminate Amazon from intercepting any Market requests, thus allowing Google Play to be the default Market move /system/app/MarketIntentProxy.apk to /sdcard/download - Reboot the Kindle

Nice. Thanks for the package. Any idea why widgets won't work? I put Go Launcher on here and now when I long press the screen and chose widgets, it doesn't bring up the widget menu.

Widget Failure

Thank you for the feedback.

Yes, we are aware of the Bug. We have submitted a report to the developer and hopefully an update will fix this issue. In the mean time, you can use the Go Launcher Widgets. They do work.

Same problem

I just finished this process successfully on my kindle, but upon proceeding to my wife's I keep running into this same "permission denied" issue when trying to run qemu. It seems as if my computer only intermittently wants to recognize the ADB on the kindle.
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] prokennexusa:
/system/bin/sh: cannot create /data/local.prop: Permission denied

Mediaisdelicious,

If you are seeing the following message: /system/bin/sh: cannot create /data/local.prop: Permission denied

it is usually caused by one of three issues:

1. You are running Windows 7 or Vista, please fix the known Bug: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2086210

2. You are using an older version of Root MANY ANDROID! you may obtain the latest version here:

https://dl.dropbox.com/u/54456659/Root_with_Restore_by_Bin4ry_v17.zip

3. You are using an older version of Qemu automated root, you may obtain the latest version here:

https://dl.dropbox.com/u/54456659/Qmenu.zip

The above should solve your problems.
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] coreyjohnson711:
I have the same issue and have tried 1 2 & 3 to no avail.

For 1.) I fixed the known bug and ran command prompt "c:\Windows\System32>ping 4.2.2.2" and got the expected results.

For 2.) I tried using v17 (your URL) and v18 (from xda)

For 3.) I tried using your URL.

I tried starting over again and had the same issue. One time I was unable to Run Root with Restore and got permission denied, but I tried again and at least that part worked. But the Qmenu continues to give the permission denied error.

EDIT: I got the errors again on another attempt, but noticed I now had SU installed and rootchecker said I was rooted. Weird stuff!
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] clamum:
I followed prokennexusa's latest noob guide to rooting the Kindle Fire HD 7" last night and was able to root it successfully, but I also got the "Permission Denied" error a couple times when going through the Qemu steps.

I decided to continue on with the remaining steps despite the errors, and the process seemed to work. Superuser app was installed, and the Root Check app said I did in fact have root. I was also to successfully install the Google Apps and disable Amazon OTA by following those respective guides.

Just gotta put a launcher (I'm thinkin Chameleon or Nova Prime) on tonight. Thanks much prokennexusa and everyone else who put time and work into these guides! :victory:

Root and Google Play for Amazon 7" Kindle Fire HD Software Version 7.2.3

coreyjohnson711,

If Root Checker Basic says you are Rooted, stop. You are Rooted. This is why we say to ignore the errors, many

people, incuding myself get caught up and focus on the errors when the utilities have done there work. Sounds like

you can move onto Google Play now.

---------- Post added at 12:13 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:08 PM ----------

clamum,

Odd isn't it. Despite the errors we are seeing successful Rooting. Regarding Launchers, we just tested Apex Launcher

and love it. This is worth taking a peek at on the Kindle. The Theme that looks nice is the "Elegant Theme" with

Apex Launcher. Thank you for the feedback and taking the time to let us know how everything went on the

Kindle.

permission denied error

I also was getting permission denied errors, but i ignored, and when i got to the end it said i was rooted. But my problem is that i don't have es file explorer, or any other file exploring app, so i can't put on suchecker.apk, or any other apk for that matter. I live in the Caribbean and don't have access to amazon store, is there any other way i can get a file explorer app on the kindle......
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] prokennexusa:
How to use ADB Install

gwils,

Good question. First, I have attached a copy of ES File Explorer to this response. The first step is to:

1. Download all apk you intend to install

2. Move the apk's to the same directory as adb - Qemu directory for example

3. Open the Qemu folder or the folder where the apk's have been moved

4. Hold the Shift Key while pressing the Right Hand Mouse over the folder

5. Select - Open a command prompt here

6. Type in the following to install the apk to /system/app

adb install the_apk_name.apk
adb reboot

You will not see the icon until you reboot, so be sure to reboot after the apk install.

[7" Kindle Fire HD General] clamum:
Odd indeed.

Well I did try out a couple of launchers tonight but had some issues. First, the Chameleon Launcher on Google Play Store says my device is not recognized. So I tried the Nova Launcher on Google Play Store which I was able to install from there. I got the successful install message but the icon did not show up under "Apps" nor in the /system/apps folder. This also happened when I installed the Apex Launcher from the Google Apps store. I was able to uninstall them after going to the Kindle settings, Applications, and uninstalling.

However, I did download the .apk for the Nova Launcher that you posted the link to in another thread, moved it to /system/apps, changed permissions, and installed it. This was successful and I was able to use the Nova Launcher.

Any idea why those launchers did not work, or even show up in my "Apps", when installing from within Google Play Store? Thanks for any help!
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] gwils:
Success.... works, and i followed your google play simple guide and got playstore working also.

Thanks again.

Launchers Missing from Apps - How to Install Nova Launcher

clamum,

I am sorry we missed your post last night! Ok, so here is the instructions for Nova Launcher, just replace the file examples with Chameleon Launcher or Apex Launcher or ??? Launcher:

In this tutorial you will learn how to install and initialize Nova Launcher and Nova Launcher Prime on the Kindle Fire HD and 2.

Prerequisites: Root the Kindle Fire HD and install Google Play Store.

When you install Nova Launcher, you need to do the following:

1. Install Nova Launcher from Google Play, upgrade to Nova Launcher Prime if preferred.

2. Reboot the Kindle

3. Using either ES File Explorer or Root Explorer, navigate to /data/app, find com.teslacoilsw.launcher-1.apk and

com.teslacoilsw.launcher.prime-1.apk

4. Move com.teslacoilsw.launcher-1.apk and com.teslacoilsw.launcher.prime-1.apk from /data/app to /system/app

5. Long press each com.teslacoilsw.launcher-1.apk and com.teslacoilsw.launcher.prime-1.apk, make sure the

permissions are Owner: Read Write Group: Read Others: Read

6. Reboot the Kindle

7. Once the Kindle Reboots you will see "Kindle is Upgrading", this is when Android initializes the two above apk's

8. Unlock the Kindle and you will see "Complete action using:" at this point, select Nova Launcher.

9. Wait for Nova Launcher to initialize. Once you are at the desktop, click on the Home icon (picture of the house),

select Nova Launcher again. Wait for Nova Launcher to propagate the containers.

10. When done move the desktop icons around as needed.

If you installed the Google Applications you will see that Nova Launcher detects the Google Speech engine

which allows you to search the internet by voice, cool stuff.:good:

Pulling my hair out.

I've followed this to a T, on two separate computers. A Windows 10 box and a Windows 7 box. I've addressed the "bug" in 7, installed latest ADB and FASTBOOT, have the latest Kindle Fire HD Drivers. It recognizes it and I can interact with it.

Now, the problem is after running the bin4ry root, it prompts for restore data, I select to restore, it does its thing for a few minutes and says successful. It says copying files then it gets permission denied. If I do it in an Administrator command prompt, it doesn't do anything. Running with no elevation, it runs but everything is permission denied.

See screen shot. I'm finally stumped and could use help. I read and re-read this entire thread numerous times. I first rooted with Kingroot and it worked, now it won't work. Any suggestions?

Regards,

Have been on Dirty ROM and upgraded that successfully from 1.8- 2.0- 2.2.

Everything was working until I got off the plane in NY- from that point on I've never had 4G.

Everything else was fine.

Got home, still no 4G. tried upgrading to Dirty ROM 2.3 and everything keeps failing: android.contacts stopped. android.process.acore. stopped.

Went back to 2.2 but same thing.

BUT, I heard that you can use Android Validator to check if your phone is rooted. I used it, and it seems that only the top three bars are green. The bottom two (something about busybox) are red in colour. So, is my phone really rooted? Or, should I unroot my phone and try rooting it again?

Hello.

It seems when you activate pin or password lock you loose the lock screen after screen turns itself off. It will lock after set number of minutes. At which point you have to first swipe then enter the code. Witch is dumb because the whole purpise of lock screen is to protect from accidental pressing something not make it inconvenience for user.

So is there a mod that would allow have swipe to unlock activate on screen off or power button and only lock the phone with pin after set number of minutes after that?

Thanks.

Preferably stock lock screen. Love the water and ink effects.
