jigga123,

PLEASE Backup your Kindle first using Kindle Fire First Aide, then proceed with these steps.

OK, we had to edit the AndroidManifest.xml so XBMC could be used as a home launcher. Just follow these easy instructions:

XBMC Step 1: Download signed-xbmc-12.0-Prokennexusa.apk.zip

XBMC Step 2: Extract signed-xbmc-12.0-Prokennexusa.apk.zip as signed-xbmc-12.0-Prokennexusa.apk

XBMC Step 3: Move signed-xbmc-12.0-Prokennexusa.apk to Kindle Drive > Internal Drive > Download folder

XBMC Step 4: Using ES File Explorer or Root Explorer on the Kindle (Make sure you have Root and Superuser Permissions are Active) navigate to sdcard\Download find signed-xbmc-12.0-Prokennexusa.apk - long press signed-xbmc-12.0-Prokennexusa.apk and choose Move

XBMC Step 5: Using ES File Explorer or Root Explorer on the Kindle Move (Using ES File Explorer or Root Explorer) signed-xbmc-12.0-Prokennexusa.apk from sdcard/Download to system/app. If you are unable to move it to system/app due to space constrains (Our Kindle had 76.04MB Free) then move it to data/app.

XBMC Step 6: Next long press signed-xbmc-12.0-Prokennexusa.apk and select Permissions, make sure the permissions are User: Read Write Group: Read and Others: Read. If you moved the application to data/app you will need to create a Symbolic link to system/app by doing the following with Root Explorer. In data/app find signed-xbmc-12.0-Prokennexusa.apk and long press signed-xbmc-12.0-Prokennexusa.apk and select the option "Link to this file" found near the bottom of the option list. Then you will see a two gray buttons "Create Link" and Cancel" be careful to not press these options. Carefully navigate to system/app and press the Gray button "Create Link". You have just created a Symbolic link to /data/app/signed-xbmc-12.0-Prokennexusa.apk

XBMC Step 7: Reboot the Kindle. During the Reboot you will see "Kindle is Upgrading" this is normal and expected. When you unlock the Kindle you will be given the opportunity to select your Home Launcher choose XBMC and leave "Use as Default" unchecked until you are sure you like the launcher.

XBMC Step 8: To go back to the Kindle Launcher either click on the picture of the house (Home Button) or use XBMC to go into the Apps container and choose the Home Icon to go back to the original Kindle Launcher.

XBMC Step 9: When you are certain you like XBMC, then reboot the Kindle, unlock it, this time check the box "Use as Default Action" and select XBMC. Then click on the picture of the house (Home) and select "Use as Default Action" and select XBMC. Even when you have selected XBMC to be your default launcher, you will always be able to go back to the original Kindle Launcher by going to the XBMC Apps container and select the Home icon, this will always be available to you.

Once you have tested the app, can you do us a favor and let us know what you think of the Launcher. We are trying to pick one that will be used in our Kindle Fire First Aide software as the Optional Launcher install. So if you end up loving XBMC please let us know in this thread - Thanks!
