Hey guys,

I purchased the pro version, any idea how can I get the amazon bookstore to work? I have amazon prime and want to take advantage of the lending library.

Thanks!!
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] gunnyman:
Yep. But after that it stays in memory for a while.
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] puckchaser:
stericson...

thanks very much for this. I actually did a manual install on much of the google apps. but bought the pro version from the market to show my support ( and get rid of those ads and OTA updates ) Much thanks on a job well done!

Planning on rooting and installing kindle free, But before i do can anyone tell me if the read-aloud feature still works, if you use the "home" function to access the stock kindle reading app?

Thanks

loading

i downloaded it and Google play appears on my tatty carsell and when I go on it it just says that is is loading and it has been like that for about half a hour and still '' loading'' please help and quick
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] Stericson:
Maybe try uninstalling Google Play, reboot, reinstall Google Play, reboot and then try it, see if that works :)
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] CheriePie:
This info should really be added to the app. As I was installing it, I got all nervous because it told me the Kindle book app wouldn't work after installing a launcher. I was like whaaaat??? :o cuz on my Fire OG I could easily switch between the Kindle launcher and Go launcher and not have any issues accessing any of my Prime benefits under the standard Kindle launcher.

So perhaps in the app itself, it should be stated that you need to run the Kindle launcher that is still accessible via the Home app in order to use these features, rather than saying they won't work at all.

Anyhoo, I'm still going through the configuring of Nova Launcher now so I haven't had a chance to test everything but I wanted to just comment on the above while it was still fresh in my mind.
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] CheriePie:
I was having a problem with the version of GoogleServicesFramework installed with this app (it kept quitting) so I reverted back to the version I was using previously from prokennexusa's thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2069329

I forgot to check the version number on the file before changing back but I did notice that the GoogleServicesFramework.apk from that thread is 2.78MB vs (i think it was) 1.33MB with the version installed by this tool. The other 2 files, GoogleLoginService.apk and AccountAndSyncSettings.apk seem to be the same.

I wonder if anyone else here was having trouble with GoogleServicesFramework, or is it just me? In any case, going back to the version I had before fixed it. *shrug*

Hey,

Sorry, I don't check my messages very often but I got notified of this post.

You need to root your phone to use this application. There are some topics on how to do this in the kindle fire forums... Can't link you to any atm because I'm mobile.

[7" Kindle Fire HD General] CheriePie:
There are tons of how-to threads out here. Specifically look for a lot of the threads with "Noob version" in the subject. Here's a couple to get you started. If you're looking for an automated tool that'll help you root, and some extra hand-holding from some generous contributors and forum members during the process, I'd highly recommend the first link and the KF First Aide tool. It'll also allow you to take a backup of your partitions before you start doing anything.... just in case. ;)

[BACKUP][RECOVERY] Kindle Fire HD and 2 First Aide Software - Noob (Simple) Version

[ROOT][HOW TO] Root the Kindle Fire HD and 2 with Windows - Noob (Simple) Version

obviously you don't have to read the entire thread, esp since the first one is nearly 130 pages long now. However start by reading the first page, paying particular attention to the first Original Post (OP), and then maybe the last 5-10 pages. And like all threads out here on xda, do make use of the thread's search capability if you have a specific question in mind as many of the same questions are asked (and answered) over and over again. (hehh they could probably use for someone to put together a FAQ or something.)

Best a luck to ya! :)

How can I delete the launchers I downloaded with kindleFree?

Ok I have a couple questions.

First, I keep getting a popup stating "google services framework has stopped" I have re-installed this but it still does it. How do I fix this?

Second, I click on the amazon kindle app but it does nothing. How can I get this to work so I can read my books?

Thanks

EDIT: I tried clicking on the home icon and it didn't load the books.

I have the same problem. I installed Nova, ADW and Apex. I want to keep only Apex, then, I go to my KindleFree Pro version, long press on Nova, uninstall it, then long press on ADW and uninstall it too, finally, I reboot.

When my Kindle turns on, Oh susrprise! I still have Nova and ADW. And now I can't uninstall it because KindleFree tells me that this apps are not instaled, but there are alive and I can use it :silly:

Any suggestion? :confused:

Thanks.

Notification drawer flashing when receiving notifications

Anyone else having a weird issue where the notification drawer up top is hidden/flashing when receiving a notification? For example you receive an email or an app update or sports score notification and it hides the drawer and flashes it so quickly you can't grab it to swipe down and clear the notification. It is a bit annoying. Not the end of the world but annoying. I wonder if it is a Nova launcher thing in combination with the root/kindlefree mod? I guess I could try another launcher, but I like Nova!

Just curious if anyone has seen that. A reboot fixes it for a while but after a day or two it reverts to the weird hidden drawer/quick flash "bugginess". Otherwise, love the kindlefree mod. Best $3 I spent making this a more usable tablet. Thanks a bunch Stericson.
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] dquinter:
I had the same problem, and was generated by GMail. What I did was uninstall it and use the mail program that comes with the Kindle. Hopefully this "solution" help you.

Regards.
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] kchapman0626:
Any version of Gmail that you tried to uninstall/reinstall? I think the Gmail app is better than the built in OS app but it is better than a flashing notification drawer for sure! Good catch if that does fix it. Well played sir and thanks for the reply. I will try later and see what happens.
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] dquinter:
I only tried with the GMail that KindleFree app installs. I hope for the near future we can have a custom ROM for our device. :laugh:
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] arrabbiato:
Quoting. I could pay to have a new rom for the KFHD.
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] kchapman0626:
Seriously. I would pay for a ROM that is easy to flash and is stable like a CM10 type build. I've read the one ROM post on the main forum for Kindle Fire and it makes my head spin. Something about 2nd boot-loader and blah, blah, blah. Seems a bit ridiculous for a tablet to go through. Plus, sounds like it would then break Amazon apps, like the ability to use the lending library. So, at what cost!? Oh well, give it time maybe.:silly:
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] akalostangel:
Thanks for KindleFree. I know just enough about programming to be dangerous. This was so easy. I did notice while reading that some people had trouble getting Google Play to launch. I had the same trouble, so I reloaded it and the second time it finished installing I hit launch application and it came up fine and I haven't had any trouble since. Now my Kindle Fire HD 8.9 works just like my old rooted Kindle Fire and I love it.

Thanks again. It was worth every bit of the 1.99 I paid for it and then some.
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] galearned:
Long press puts app on desktop - not uninstall

I installed Kindlefree to use the uninstall feature:

Long pressing an app in the app drawer deposits the app onto the desktop (Pretty normal Android behavior).

I don't see where long pressing the app, provides an uninstall option?

I installed Kinology and then some apps including file manager and some misc mobile apps including HOLO launcher.

I went to settings /apps where you would normally uninstall and app and the "register your Kindle" pops up .

Seems you have to register the kindle first before you can access apps in settings?

Thus, I have no way of uninstalling any apps. The Kindlefree app does not provide an uninstall function either as far as I can see.

I am going to delete the apps from data/app and system/app manually.

TSF Shell?

I am trying to use the PRO version to install a custom launcher (TSF). I see that the launcher installed (via the playstore) in /data/app, however, when I navigate to that directory, no files are found.

Can you explain how to add the TSF shell as a custom launcher?
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] stunts513:
If your asking how to install a launcher on kfhd, basically you put it in /system/app and set the permissions to all can read, and only user can write, then reboot. If you did it correctly you will boot up fine, if not you will be stuck in a boot loop and need a fastboot cable unless you are on a 8.9" model.

how to fix kindle book app

Hi, I see that lot of people here have trouble with reading after rooting their device,

I came across the same problem and I have fix for you

1) be rooted

2) be sure to have latest appstore installed and have it as system app (including all the nessasary apps like vending.apk etc, you can find all of those in "how to install google play into KFHD7" thread)

3) have some kind of file manager with root access, titanium backup (or free you kindle might help too)

4) now go to /system/app and backup kindleforotter.apk (not sure about spelling thb but its the kindle book app originaly provided by amazon for KFHD)

5) after backup of the app (put it into .zip and place it somewhere safe, we do this only to be sure we can recover it if needed) remove the original .apk from /system/app

6) reboot devide

7) go to google play and download Kindle reader for android, its the official app from amazon for android devices

8) (not sure if this step is needed for this procedure to work) go back to your file manager and go to /data/app find the kindle app you just downloaded and move it to /system/app

9) reboot and you should be done :)

Hope this helps you, it certainly helped me with the issue you guys having.

First of all, LOVE this app - THANK YOU!!

I had a little speed bump moving from the free version to pro - lost root. But I got it back. I think it was because I went through all the settings again - wasn't sure whether I needed to.

I have two questions:

1. How come the book-reading app doesn't work with alternate launchers. I frequently use this device for reading books. Any chance of a fix?

2. It is a pleasure to have the Google Play Store on my Kindle, but oddly, not everything is showing up. Only the apps I purchased are listed among my apps (not the free ones), and one of my purchased apps is both missing from my apps list AND from the Google Play Store (when accessed from the Kindle). Neither of these things happen when I go to Google Play from my phone.

well thanks but i didnt install it kindle free did is there a different location to choose and if so what does the long tap uninstall from?
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] stunts513:
Oh I would think the long tap uninstall in kindle free would uninstall it from the system/app folder. Unfortunately because of how amazon made the os, the launchers have to be in the system folder or they won't launch. Its really stupid. Though technically if Google updates the launcher it doesn't go in the system folder, I think its kinda like it sees an update so the version in the system folder forwards to the newer version.

First of all thanks for writing such an awesome app!

I like smart launcher so I bought smart launcher pro and kindlefree pro in hope of using widgets. However, I can't seem to get it to work.

Widgets are working fine on nova launcher, but not for smart launcher
