Hmmm... That is strange. I have no issues with kindle books, audible, prime video, video downloads, or the amazon store. Amazon app store works, but will not download unless I use a similar script I made, which which similarly temporarily replaces the download services & services.odex, which I keep in a /data/ps2a directory. I am of course working on my root partition, since I have not had a chance to get with Hash on testing a 8.9 safestrap, which works for me anyways, since I do not want a custom rom. Just stock 100% working with Google Apps & Play Store, so I am 99% there,

I am working on compiling a modified & de-odexed version of services.jar DownloadProvider & DownloadProviderUi from my KF HD 8.9, the predecessor to the HDX, which is a 4.0.4 version. It allows EVERYTHING to work 100% without having to swap anything EVER. Right now it is about 80%, but I'll keep plugging away.

If interested,, I can upload the stock HD 8.9 apk's I am working with (along with framework-res for apktool dependencies). I am certain that I can eventually get this working 100%, just been a long time since I have dev'd or modded anything, since work has been so crazy busy. In fact, before ther HDX, my build environment was still on 4.0.3 SDK platform & build tools. Because I haven't kept up, I am having to muddle through, but it'll get there. That, or someone that actually does this stuff for a living will take pity & whip something up. (Want a mechanical or process system designed, I'm your guy. Software??? Well, unless it is for a VFD, I can muddle through, but by no means am I the most proficient).

Hi, thanks for all the great work, but I had a question-

I have the 32gb 7" HDX but just want to use the script on the stock rom, is this advisable?

If I wanted to start fresh from a new stock rom, would I do a full wipe on safestrap on the stock rom slot within safestrap?

Or would I factory reset from within the stock rom, and reroot and follow the directions in the OP?

I just want to to use all the internal storage on my kindle, the backups are taking up space I really want to use.

Thanks for all the hard work!! It is appreciated

I found that the original script worked fine on PC to run install.sh to kindle. You issue may have been bad ADB driver install. The script switching also works but it reboots every time. That's not as useful because in that case you might as well just reboot into a fully working rom slot with working gapps that jcase has provided. Either way, it is great work and hopefully we can make it so both Amazon and Play Store will work together on the same OS.

Kindle Reader Fix For HDX 7 inch

Alex, I hope you won't mind me offering up this solution in your thread. :)

While browsing some troubleshooting info for Live Wallpapers I came across a post where the guy was explaining how he was able to get Kindle to work on his HD. I did try his method, but it did not work for the HDX 7 inch.

However, a combination of his suggestion and another one from wc4usa Working Kindle reader app where you download the previous copy of the Kindle Reader actually worked (See post #124). I can now access my books on Kindle and also access the Amazon Kindle Store, etc.

1) You should be rooted (This may not be necessary, but if you used Alex's method to add the PlayStore then you are rooted).

2) Go to your file manager with root access to /system/app

3) Find the file KindleForAmazonTablet_1176287610.apk

4) Rename it. I named mine KindleForAmazonTablet_1176287610.apkOLD. I kept the file in system/app in case I needed it later. This is the Kindle book app originally provided by Amazon for the Kindle.

5) Reboot device (Not sure this is necessary, but I did it anyway since it was suggested).

6) Do not download the Kindle App from Google PlayStore because it will not work. It will install and load, but you will not be able to access any of your Kindle books or even browse the store. No icons, etc., will show up. Instead,

7) Go to this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2576131 and download the Kindle app there (It is Kindle ver. 4.2.0.54). The files will be in the first post by LinearEquation. Thanks to him for making it easy to find the apps. :)

8) Once you download the app, install it.

That should do it. I tested in Nova Launcher, Go Launcher, Mini Launcher and Vire Launcher. The app worked. However, in the Home Launcher, it will not allow access to your Kindle books, but will to the Kindle Store. I get a black and white image of the icon. When pressing on them, the tablet hangs. So, if you have a launcher other than Home, this method should work.

All your Kindle books should appear and all the other stuff that Amazon loves to show Kindle owners. :)

PS: Now, you will see where someone is recommending changing your build file or something. I wouldn't recommend that. In my opinion this is the most safest way of being able to use your Kindle app without having to switch out to do so.

wc4USA also stated: The newer (& newest) Kindle app on PlayStore will not work. Period. I happened to use CleanMaster to delete my stock/pre-installed Kindle reader (it deletes the data, folders, etc.) -- then installed the above-mentioned Kindle 4.2.0.54.apk. It asked me to register; I did, and now have all of my books. (btw:You won't get the Prime lending library with this.) On one of the successful installs I got one FC -- but a simple system reboot fixed that with no further issues.

ps; if you use this -- make sure auto-updates for Kindle is turned off in PlayStore -- or the issue will return.

HTH

Thanks wc4USA for the suggestion.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] altrenda:
does installing the Kindle app this way allow access to the Kindle Lending Library? this and being able to download Prime movies keeps me from removing the Amazon apps.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] tech6:
I used Alex's method. I don't believe it removes Amazon's apps, but the Kindle app and Amzn app store won't open unless you do as Alex suggests and "switch" by running a particular file in his script. All Amazon stuff will work or you can just go to the Home screen to use Kindle as he suggests above. That didn't work for me. So, I used an older version of the Kindle app to get it to work.

I haven't used the lending library so I can't advise on that. The Prime videos still worked under Alex's script as I recall. In other words, I could play the Prime videos being offered on amazon.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] davekaz:
So in result of switching services with reboot do you retain all apps on both .that would be well worth than creating rom slots and losing apps on other slots. So in result your KINDLE is whole and when you swap from Amazon to Google everything you change with these services is retained on same..if that's true that I'm going to do this..awaiting your reply
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] tech6:
So in result of switching services with reboot do you retain all apps on both? Yes.

Let me go further. In script manager, you have to go to data/local/tmp/ click on Amazon.sh then click on Run. Kindle re-starts. You go to your home page and you can now get access to the app store, but keep in mind, you will not have access to the Google Playstore without "switching" back to Google PlayStore by running cm10.sh in script manager.

For me, I wanted to be able to use the Kindle reading app without "Switching". That's why I have my setup. However, this does not permit use of the Amazon app store which is no problem for me because just about everything in there cost. I have access to the lending library (using the Home Amazon launcher from my alternative launcher). Prime video, Google PlayStore and the Amazon Store from my selected home screen. No app store access unless you run Alex's "switch" script.

It's really not a big deal. I just have a problem remembering where to find the files! :)

HTH

Interesting. I run cm and google works fine but anything Amazon does not work ..another slot has gapps working and amazon video. I run Amazon sh and nothing Amazon works. It pretends too download and video errors out.I used home launcher within adw launcher..would that be the problem. Good idea but not working for me....I started with stock Rom with non working Google but every google app worked and amazon video. I'm going back to that. I like the idea of both working under same Rom but maybe my foundation wasn't correct. I used modded play store app so I didn't have those constant errors of framework and such.. oh well

[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] _Alex_:
You can save your scripts as favorites and then just us the menu button / scripts the next time you launch SManager. I've also used smwidget to place icons on my home screen with nova launcher.

When switched to cm10, all kindle and other apps work via the home icon which brings up the Amazon launcher. The app store link works inside launcher but any new content requests are stuck as queued until I switch back to Amazon store. This works well for me... not sure why so many people are spending time replacing their kindle app and Appstore with other versions, as it's not required if they didn't delete their Amazon launcher ( a major problem with using cpastjuste based solutions, including ptiwee/crashthump/gsleon3 step 2 )...

I only switch back to cm10 play store when I want to download or update an app that can only be found on the play store...

Switching stores works much better than another Rom slot since you don't have the 4gb overhead of another slot. There are also sync issues you can run into when running two slots. I've run two slots for weeks before coming up with the swapping solution and decided that swapping is the better of the two..
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] _Alex_:
The question is, does a script run + reboot inconvenience you enough to compile a better solution? :angel:
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] davekaz:
I love your solution and will keep trying..I'm in Amazon.sh and the only thing thru home I can do is download books ..apps fc as usual and prime which usually works with gapps installed gets to the point of watching but comes up wit a try again error or get help..ive installed on top of a working Rom with gapps installed but not working but was able to sign in to all google apps. I switch to cm.sh and could download thru play but again Amazon prime videos no good...Ill try a fresh install and see what will happen
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] GSLEON3:
Actually, right now I am working on two angles. I have a shell app that automates the swap & clears the caches & I am working on compiling new framework & DL apps (which is a much bigger undertaking than I initially imagined) based on diff patches I am writing from the HD 8.9 framework/apps which work fine.

I will settle for the first. since it eliminates a few steps, just open an app & select a) Amazon, or b) Google, but ideally I would like everything to function 100% without reboot, scripts or any apps.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] tech6:
Ok, Alex. I understand now. So, the switch to amazon allows use of everything except if you want to use the PlayStore to download or update an app. Then you will switch to cm10 to do that.

That makes sense now. I couldn't get it in my head what you meant about switching. It's clear now.

Stay on amazon.sh for access to Amazon apps using the home launcher and the use of other apps. The only reason to "switch" to cm10 is to update or download PlayStore apps. I got it now. I'm going to add back the current Kindle app now that I understand what you were saying.

I agree with you about your script. That was the reason I chose it over the others, although I do appreciate the effort they put forth. However, your script is easy to install without a major alteration to the beauty of the device. After going back to the original Kindle app. Everything works including Google apps, except PlayStore. Just to reiterate, you will have to run cm10 from script manager to access it.

Now, I will have to see if I can create and save the script files as favorites that you suggested to do.

Thanks for your help. :)

Thanks for the update, it clears up a bit on how it works, makes it easier to follow what happens with each step. I am really looking forward to your automated solution.

Amazon Shop

Hello everybody,

after installing as described in post #1 (just firewall not), I can't switch back to Amazon Shop. After rebooting with amazon.sh I can access the shop for a few seconds and then it crashs and did not start again until I run the script again. If I try an app bought at computer, the download doesn't start too.

Switching to google make google play accessible.

I did all downloads yesterday (18th january).

Any help how to fix this would be appreciated.

Thank you in advance.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] Demonoid111:
This worked like a charm for me. I was able to carry out the process on my stock rom without bricking or anything like that. Thanks to you I am able to use Google play with download capability. However, like others I am not able to switch back to amazon services. The process completes but it just doesn't download anything, it remains in queue forever.

That's a non issue though since Amazon's Appstore sucks. :p

[Verizon HTC One (M7)] rmd0311:
So....

In September I bought a month old used HTC One from someone on CG. Phone has been rock solid. No real issues, but I always had people on the other end complaining they could not hear me well.

Recently people on the other end cannot hear me at all, just static and only through the handset, works via bt and speakerphone. Thinking it was the RIL issue, I got a new SIM and nothing, restored to stock and wiped using factory recovery as [MENTION=1331268]santod040[/MENTION] suggested and nothing. So I did what I would always do, relock the device, put it back to S-ON.

Well at this point I don't care, the HTC One has been on the VZW network less than a year. Who cares where I bought it from it should be under warranty. Well I guess Verizon is not ATT and HTC is not Apple. I said nothing, simply phone is unusable, already did all the stuff like factory resets and the such. Put in a warranty claim and done. Have done it before on VZW. They text me this morning that the phone is not under warranty because its a customer supplied device. I call and *****., they do not take. Tell me take it up with HTC. HTC turns and says its a software issue and it is known. We are working on an update. If you want a replacement talk to your carrier.

Call Verizon back and nothing. At this point I am livid. Does anyone know if there is anything else I can do? Honestly, my contract is up in 11 days and i have been contemplating leaving vzw for a while... maybe this is just the nail in the coffin...

Any suggestions appreciated. As an fyi, i found a couple of threads on the ATT side of the one where ATT did honor the warranty. F$#%ing verizon.... Rocking my old GNex in the meantime.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] selayan:
Have you tried to get a square trade warranty? Its something to look at when buying used phones. Verizon won't honor warranty on your phone since you did not get it through them. HTC should be the one that should replace your faulty device with a refurbished model. I would call back HTC and ask that you speak to a supervisor.

My Verizon store always has been friendly when I walked in with a new phone and needed it activated to replace the old one. The device usually has a 1 year warranty from the manufacturer.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] josh995:
HTC is the one who needs to replace the phone. You didn't buy it from VZW so they are playing their games. You are correct, HTC customer service is awful compared to Apple. All I can suggest is call HTC and explain that you can't wait for an update, you need your phone replaced now since it's less than a year old and still under warranty.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] rmd0311:
I agree Josh. But HTC is toeing the line that the warrantee is on the original owner not the device. So they are saying the same thing. Sucks to be you. I will call again and ask for a manager. Be clear that I have been loyal HTC owner. Have owned 2 incredibles and a rezound.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] selayan:
Yeah it should not matter how many owners. As long as it's still within the 1 year warranty period it should be honored. I would keep calling and demand nicely that you would like to speak to a supervisor.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] mmuzzy:
If your contract is up in 11 days I'm surprised Verizon didn't try to deal with you as a customer retention issue and try to make you happy.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] selayan:
Verizon is just too big to care, they would be happy to get him on the edge plan and subsidize him another phone. If you do not have unlimited data through Verizon I would just look to get this fixed as soon as possible and probably switch. Only reason I still am with them, without a contract is because I was grandfathered into the unlimited data.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] rmd0311:
Like you I am grandfathered to unlimited data... That's the reason I bought the HTC off market. Honestly I am ready to buy a Nexus 5 and go to ATT., wish TMo had better service by me.

[MENTION=3327115]mmuzzy[/MENTION], let me tell you I loved your stuff on the GNex(toro). I made it clear to them, honor the guarantee or run the risk of losing me in 11 days. It's obvious they do not care, I said as much and made it clear, if they don't care why should I. I'm the one losing the 350 i paid for this phone in Sept.

I will try HTC once more, give it the old college try...
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] rmd0311:
I called back a few minutes ago and got HTC to honor it... I have to pay to send back and it will probably take a couple of weeks, but they are honoring it. so hopefully this will be for the better.

I'll post on the process.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] selayan:
Nice, glad you got them to fix it up. That's why I'm gonna keep my DNA as backup when the one gets rooted cuz without root the phone is not getting used.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] AznInertia:
FYI for future reference, I usually buy a phone on a credit card like American Express because they give you one extra year warranty and if there are any issues (like the one you mentioned), then they give you a full refund on the original purchase price. Like what other people said, try using the after market warranty...that will be your best bet at this point.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] dottat:
Just to clarify something....did you run the ruu? I see return to stock but not ruu specifically.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] bwthor20:
I swear, this is the exact post I would have wrote about a month ago. Out of the blue, I got a call and the person on the other end couldn't hear me very well, but the speaker phone worked fine. I also purchased mine used, so knew the warranty risks going in.

First, I took some canned air and blew out the little hole at the bottom of the phone, and into the speaker grills. I'm sure that you need to be careful doing this to avoid breaking anything. I also noticed that my speakers sounded like they were blown too, so I used an old trick I've used on other phones that seems to have fixed mine. The blown speaker sound is usually caused my tiny little metal/magnetic particles that accumulate on the speaker. I take a magnet from an old hard drive, and crank up the music and wipe the magnet over the speaker holes for a while, moving in all different directions. The vibrations from the music dislodge the particles, and the magnet picks them up.

So far so good, and I haven't had any issues since.

Good to know that HTC will honor the warranty on a second party phone.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] rmd0311:
Correct. RuU
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] rmd0311:
Just a quick update. Finally heard back from HTC and they have shipped back the phone. It took forever because of the terrible northeast weather, sent it to them UPS Second Day using my corporate account. They are sending it back Fed Ex Ground. According to the girl, I am getting the same phone with a new Camera and new Microphones. So it was a hardware issue all along.

Hopefully they don't update it past the .15 so I can S-OFF and Unlock the moment I get it.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] selayan:
I doubt they updated it for you. You should be good to go.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] rmd0311:
Turns out they did update the phone to 2.10.605.1... Damn HTC., I'm happy they did what they did but really wanted to S-OFF and Unlock...

Guess I need to start searching if I can S-OFF and Unlock with this version.

this is a great reason to keep insurance/extended warranty on your line. Yes you have to pay for it, but 1 call would have gotten you an exchange through verizon.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] rmd0311:
Honestly, I only got the one because it could be rooted. No other reason... This sucks, and I have been in the cusp of leaving verizon. Still rocking the GNex, cause stock Sense to me is blah. Found someone to trade for an iPhone may just do it, for the simple fact of better resale when I jump ship to ATT and get my a Moto X or N5.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] selayan:
I understand, I'm about to sell my HTC one. I bought it and it's sitting over a month I think just unused. Still on my droid DNA. No point keeping my credit card with a balance on it if I'm not gonna use the phone. By the time 4.3 is rooted the phone should be cheaper anyway.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] rmd0311:
I feel you... The moment I noticed I could not root I went back to GNex. Just the tethering along keeps me hinged to it, use it daily.
