I didn't need to do that. Just install xposed and the the module from this post and everything works. Whenever i try to install any gapps other than with this module, something ends up missing or not working. Not sure why that is for me but that's in my case anyways.

Kindle App Doesnt Work Unless On Amzn Home Page

Installed this on a fresh factory OS, but haven't been able to get Kindle app to work. It will not even open unless I'm on the home page. I would use a different version of the Kindle app, but that will not allow users to access the lending library. It doesn't have all the functions of the version that comes with the Kindle device. I have the HDX 7 inch.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] GSLEON3:
Had you previously installed any of the various Play Store or Gapps via any of the available scripts or tools? If you did, that is the issue. Those all change out the Services.jar & DownloadManager apk's in the stock partitions. If you have used any other mods, you really should revert everything before starting down a different road.

I am having a bit of weird problem with installed Xposed framework.

Normally when you hit install / update from in the framework, the number of modules match on both left and right.

I'm getting 0 on top, and 47 at the bottom number.

All I can see is I'm having a bad root, so I'll go over to the root topic to talk about that. But if you tried to install Xposed and it didn't "take", you may have root problems.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] kschang:
Never mind. Somehow when I installed the ROM I must have f***ed up root. I wiped everything from that partition then did it again reinstalled and this time XPosed worked.

I had some problem getting the eBooks to work but turned out I have some stupid problem with my Internet. :P
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] tech6:
When doing this install using the Gapps script, I've noticed that upon start up I get the message Kindle is upgrading. . .and the lockscreen ads are back when the Kindle goes into hibernation. At one point, I was prompted to upgrade Supersu, but it wouldn't. I had also added BusyBox and wasn't able to upgrade Supersu. Plus, I also lost root. I can't install any wallpapers, but those that came with the launcher I assume. I have all this on Rom-1. It seems to be stable now, but I didn't install BusyBox this time and Supersu was able to upgrade. After not installing Busybox and the Gapps script, I noticed once upon powering off Kindle that the screen shook until it shut down. This was after I did a factory reset. Right now, it seems to be okay.

On the stock rom, I did not install the Gapps script, but installed Gapps using ptrsnshane's suggestion. No more of the message, Kindle is upgrading, but the lockscreen ads are back. They come back despite changing the name of the file suggested. That's on both roms. So, I deal with it because they only appear upon waking the Kindle not when doing a boot up from the power being shut off.

I didn't install BusyBox on the stock rom so I still have root. I'm not sure what happens with this install, but it seems to affect everyone's Kindle differently. I'm just sharing about what happened with mine.

I also read somewhere on the forum, that the Kindle app will not work using an alternate launcher. It will only work using the Amazon launcher. Interesting that Gapps works on the Home page, but the only thing that doesn't work with alternative launchers is the Kindle app at least that's been my experience.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] krypted:
So I got it all working. The only thing is, any app I download from the Play Store, does not show up anywhere in the recent of "apps" using the amazon launcher. Any ideas? I'm tried wiping cache/dalvik but nothing.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] GSLEON3:
Make sure you didn't have a version in the Kindle Cloud drawer. If you have duplicates in Amazon cloud within the app drawer 7 use a Google version, it can have this affect.

Sure,

in es explorer scroll to root on/off, then press longer on it and a new window will shown....select r/w and check permission on /system and or / for read/write;)

Hi Cpasjuste, may you read the post warning about the new update release in the main thread. Someone there said he had HDXposed running but it still updated. Looks like Amazon is doing some slick stuff in this update(1314.3.2.1). We need help to confirm what stuff is working or broken. :( looks like it's a mess.

...this works for me

I have had everything (both Amazon & Google) working together for the past two weeks since I loaded the thor/gapps/xposed ROM in the manner outlined by Android Cowboy on February 5th at: Amazon Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" > Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General > [Video Tutorial] GAPPS + Amazon from Cpasjuste. Also, no update issues.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] kschang:
I *did* have it working at one time. The problem is if you ever boot back to the factory ROM, it instantly unregisters ALL your ROM slots. And you can't re-register since apparently that taps into some process that's not remapped by HDXposed. I'll have to reflash, register, then Add Gapps and HDXposed again.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] Cpasjuste:
Be sure to do all that offline to not get the update.

Thank you so much! This has allowed me to run Google Play Store on my KF HDX 8.9.

My Kindle was previously rooted and I followed the above steps. I then installed the following Google apks from AndroidCowboy.com:

Google Account Manager_4.0.3-239410.apk

Google Services Framework 4.0.4-338691.apk

Google Play services_4.0.34 (924341-38).apk

Google Play Store 4.4.21.apk

I rebooted in between each apk file installed. And now both Amazon and Google are smoothly working together on my Kindle!

[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] R1Mike:
I've got it working on stock rom. I didn't want to mess with safestrap and this fit the bill. And, I have the following to help prevent OTA updates.

Android Firewall enabled with iptables in custom script

I renamed otacerts.zip to otacerts.zip.old in /etc/security/

I renamed com.amazon.dcp.apk to com.amazon.dcp.apk.old in /system/app/

So I have to install hdxposed first and Then copy all apks in system, and install one by one and reboot my tablet?
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] R1Mike:
If you haven't done so first, I would do the prevention for OTA updates first, then install hdxposed, and then install all the apks by side loading. I didn't put the apks in system.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] Sj12345:
No, first I installed the apks in system but it didn't work, then tried hdxposed and google play is not connected...

Ok I will try first the root, then install hdxposed then move all apks in system and install it

So just rooted and installed xposed framework and have the mod enabled. Am i safe to connect to wifi now, or is there something else i need to do to stop the ota update?

Well I got a little impatient and just went for it and feel pretty dumb now...picked up the kindle to see I had recently updated and I now have lost root...

Because I am on the fire os and in the stock recovery I'm screwed right?
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] Cpasjuste:
Do you mean you booted to the stock ROM and it updated or it got updated with xposed enabled ? Else yes for now your screwed.

No You are NOT screwed. That is inaccurate. Install the Safestrap & see what it says. If you have the 3.71 version, you should be able to recover root.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] Faznx92:
I'm using this in The HDX Utility but how does this block updates? Does it change something in the build.prop or otacerts.zip or com.amazon.dcp.apk? Does your current version work?

it does not work at all for blocking the update,i have rooted over 25 of these things 7's and 8.9's and just about all of them have been updated,,,,since i dont have them in hand i was not able to try the work around ,,,but as far as it blocking the update it does not!
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] Faznx92:
Hummm I ask because I really don't want to mess with people's build.prop that much. Is there and example of one. What was changed in it to block ota?

not that I'm aware of.

maybe GSLEON3 would be able to tell you more about that i see him talking a lot about build.prop on here
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] kschang:
I got the HDX back into Amazon... It's a weird fix.

I did the hold power for 30 second reset thing. After that, I was able to register the device and it retained the Gapps and such. However, all Boot modules like Xposed have been disabled. So it's kinda weird to have to add them back one at a time. And I have to reinstall some apps off GPlay, but that's relatively minor inconvenience when I can often just restore from my TiB backups.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] kschang:
There are quite a few apps that won't reinstall, gives me "Error -24" from Google store. Restoring from TiB doesn't work either. (Specifically, Colossatron the game, paid)
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] kschang:
I nuked the whole install and reflashed from scratch to 13.31. Despite registering, it did NOT upgrade to 14.X, not sure why. I then manage to put the whole thing back, Thor Gapps HDXposed and all.

Right now my only problem is I can't play Zombie gunship. Starts with a BLANK screen except the Google sign-in button. This is the official Google Play Store version (purchased too) I'll try to download the Humble Bundle version to see if that helps.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] kschang:
Now this gets a little annoying... I hit a market link, and Amazon pops up and wants to divert to Amazon market (which obviously does NOT have the app).

Can there be, like, say, a 'switch' in Notification shade that lets us toggle between "Use Google Play", "Use Amazon App", or "Use Third Party" when a market link is detected? Or just override it period, with option to undo later?
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] gqukyo:
Since it's a Fire OS based rom, I don't think it'll ever allow it. The rom without Amazon things would work. You could try the market switcher tweak. I could never get that to work but you may have better luck.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] kschang:
As if Android hackers actually *care* about what ROM developers intended... as long as no copyright was broken.

We're not talking about cloning Amazon store. We're talking about links that should have gone to some other market INTERCEPTED by FireOS pointing to NOTHING.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] gqukyo:
Relax dude, just saying it's not on any one's priority list and probably never will be. Has nothing to do with copyright or cloning, etc. As I've suggested, try the market switcher tweak. Think that's the closest thing you can get to it w/o using the non-Amazon rom.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] kschang:
It's funny how porting a feature that was in the special version of the firmware to people who did not pay for the special version is apparently more interesting than allowing people access to more app sources transparently.

Hi,

i did update HDXPosed to version 1.2 which SHOULD correctly block OTA updates now. I did stay on first firmware (13.3.0.0) on a full day without being updated.

Please note that we need more report to be 100% sure it's ok.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] Faznx92:
I'm testing it out. Thanks for the good work.

Update: I'm having issues blocking updates with it though :confused:. Xposed is newest and module is selected then rebooted. Went to Device>System Updates and it started downloading.

Please use with caution.

Capsjuste, how does it block ota if you mind me asking? Can you pm me?

KFHDX Thor v.13.3.1.0
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] Cpasjuste:
Hi Faznx92,

You can look at sources on github I think it should be easy to see how its done even for a non programmer. I was focused on background updates so I may have missed something. Is the update downloaded and visible with the download manager ?
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] Faznx92:
I was checking if it would update via Settings>Device>System Updates>Check Now. It started downloading. Ah I see, your mod blocks background updates, unless you check for it.

ota.ScheduledUpdateCheckerService

explains it^

I'm not sure if you know how my ota disable works but take a look.

pm disable "com.amazon.dcp/.ota.OTAUpdateMessageHandler"
pm disable "com.amazon.dcp/.ota.InventoryUploadService"
pm disable "com.amazon.dcp/.ota.UpdatesLookupService"
pm disable "com.amazon.dcp/.ota.OTAService"
pm disable "com.amazon.dcp/.ota.AppStateMonitorService"
pm disable "com.amazon.dcp/.ota.CheckForOTAUpdatesService"
pm disable "com.amazon.dcp/.ota.ViewUpdateActivity"
pm disable "com.amazon.dcp/.ota.OTAStatusActivity"
pm disable "com.amazon.dcp/.ota.ResetOTAMessageHandler"
pm disable "com.amazon.dcp/.ota.InventoryUploadService$InventoryUploadReceiver"
pm disable "com.amazon.dcp/.ota.UpdatesLookupService$MountStatusChangedReceiver"
pm disable "com.amazon.dcp/.ota.OTAService$OTAWakeupReceiver"
pm disable "com.amazon.dcp/.ota.OTAService$OTADedupeReceiver"
pm disable "com.amazon.dcp/.ota.OTAService$OTAInstallNowReceiver"

If you check in the settings menu for updates it reports 'Last update failed'.

Caution people that your block stops background ota checks.

Also it would be cool if your could toggle ota block on and off in Xposed.

Just my 2 cents.

Others please test but be careful doing so, we may have a unlock soon and you sure don't want to miss out on that.

Best of luck mate.:good:

[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] Cpasjuste:
Thanks to Faznx92 OTA blocking code should now be working in the new uploaded version. Now the 3 dcp packages are disabled by xposed using same process as "pm disable" does but on the 3 dcp packages instead of component like you did Faznx92.

But i do not have a stock rom to test currently so i'm not sure if disabling them completely could cause other problem's on stock rom...
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] Faznx92:
Sorry to respond so slow. I use pm enable to reverse it. Something I also do is disable the amazon.dcp apk. Read the post here.

I can confirm that HDXposed version 1.3 blocks ota with KFHDX Thor 13.3.1.0. I really want to refine what exact functions are at work for ota though.

Small side note if your trying this. If you are currently using my blocker you first should turn off wifi, then in the toolkit enable ota to undo my blocker. Then install the xposed apks with the wifi off, setup, reboot, turn wifi on, goto settings > Device > Sys Update > Check. It should say 'Last update failed' else quickly turn off wifi.

And, even weirder, I have superuser and root check basic installed and it says that I have root, but I still can't get the Google apps installed. It's like a partial root or something. Very weird.

Are you using safestrap ? If so restore a stock backup to ROM slot and start again from scratch.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] conan1600:
First, don't install superuser and SuperSU at the same time. Uninstall superuser, it works best with CM. Go into supersu and clear out the app permisions for es file explorer, in the settings tab of supersu make sure ENABLE SUPERSU is ticked. Second when downloading if you have es file manager installed you should get a query about download with this or that or es file downloader. Download it with es file downloader. Make sure you have USB debugging ticked in settings as well as apps from unknown sources. If you still get parse errors one easy way to fix them almost always is to side load google drive. Transfer the file to google drive then install from drive. Works almost all the time.

compatibility with toolkit and new OS version

Hi!

I would like to use your HDXposed to get google apps working.

However I read it will do (among other things) disable OTA updates.

I already used HDX toolkit 0.94 to gain root and to disable OTA.

I want to be able to switch OTA on if desired (toolkit has a function to undo its OTA disabling).

I have a HDX 7" ("Thor") with OS version 13.3.2.4_user_324002120.

No Safestrap installed (due to beta status and massive warnings in safestrap thread I was too anxious to install it), so I have no backup.

Is it save to apply HDXposed in this configuration (as far as you can tell, no warranty of course)?

Can I omit the "OTA disabling" feature in HDXposed?

Or will HDXposed simply do nothing concerning OTA (because OTA is already disabled by toolkit)?

If HDXposed does some changes to disable OTA, how can I revert them?

best regards

Robert
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] jimyv:
ok

I can tell you from experience it will not have any negative effect to be running both the OTA blocker from toolkit and this module . Second is if you read the whole safestrap thread or at least the largest part of it you will see that most people only have problems with safestrap when miss using it if they have not followed directions then nobody can be held responsible but themselves . The latest safestrap 3.75 b02 works fine when used properly . Beta will have small bugs and they are noted in the thread but there are workarounds and procedure advice within the thread.. It is simple to reverse any xposed mod . First go to your framework / application /module and uncheck it.then go to application manager in your tablet and uninstall the hdxposed 1.3 apk, reboot .done
