Kindle app crashes on CM11 Rom - 7" Kindle Fire HD General

How can I fix this. I've tried clearing data, reinstalling disabling developer options, and nothing works. What can I do? I'd like to read my Python Programming Book...

The problem is the Kindle App crashes. Would their appstore fix it? If you have a link private message it to me.

That's why you need to go to the link and install the last official Amazon app build. There are three apks there. Appstore, Kindle apk and Amazon MP3 apk.
There is an issue for some with the newer Amazon apks. Until it gets sorted, use the Apk's at the link.

Ive downloaded the Apk from 2 different sources and each time when I attempt to open it I get an error message. "There was a problem when attempting to parse this package." Help, please?

That often means the file is corrupt, spotify works fine here

Where can I get a non.corrupt apk? I tried a download thru the browser and an email of my backup apk from my android phone.

Spotify doesn’t work perfectly, sadly. Usable with tweaks.

I just received my Kindle Fire for Christmas and was able to load spotify, but not via the Amazon App Store. I had to change the Fire device setting to allow it to install apps from unknown sources, then went to Spotify.com to download the app. Once I did that, it installed and I was able to long into my account and play my Music. At first after I downloaded the app, I couldn't figure out how to find the downloaded file, so I want to the app store and downloaded a file explorer app. Once I had that, I clicked on sd card folder I found, and then downloads folder. Someone with more knowledge probably knows an easier way, but I am just beginning to explore the device and what it can do and that is how I solved it.

Could you send a link to the page on the spotify website where you downloaded the app? I searched all over and it kept telling me to open up Aneroid Market. Ty.

Nevermind. I found it. Definitely not perfect but I would hope they are working on a KF version. Thanks for the help everyone.

Freezing the OTA silent install?

Hi, I just rooted using Kindle Water and got the Android Market installed. Can I stop the next OTA update by freezing the app on my kindle using Titanium Backup?
Sent from my Kindle Fire using xda premium
Sorry, I am not sure but I am really interested to find this out myself. I have read a few articles today and there seems to be a few procedures but nothing where someone has said it 100% works.
There must be a consensus among the developers/experienced techies - please let us know.
Yes, I have done it, search got otacerts.zip in this forum.

So is it not as simple as flashing a custom ROM as has been made out in this thread?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=23231575#post23231575
Thought you wanted to stay on the stock ROM...
Sent from my Kindle Fire using xda premium
Sorry not me, I would flash CM7/CM9. I don't care much for the standard ROM plus I live in the UK so wouldn't get any amazon services anyway.
I don't mean to hijack the thread but the OP hasn't stated whether he would stay standard or not.
People in another thread have just confirmed by flashing a non standard ROM I will not receive any updates

I believe that is correct, if you running a non stock ROM then Amazons OTA updates are not an issue.
Sent from my Kindle Fire using xda premium
The only ways to stay stock and prevent it are to unregistered your kindle on amazon.com, turn off wifi, or diligently check the cache folder and delete the file when it downloads. It doesn't install immediately and it won't download it again once you delete it

GPlay on KF???

IS there any way to get Google Play on an unrooted Kindle Fire?
I don't want to flash a ROM.
I'm just looking for a way to download it on my KF.

No, not unrooted. But you do not need to install a ROM to get Google Play. You just need to root it.

Kindle app force closing

The Kindle app keeps force closing on me. I am running cm 11 with the most recent nightly. The app hasn't been working for a few days. I tried wiping cache and did a full wipe and reinstalled cm. I tried clearing app data and opening app with privacy guard on and off. Anyone else having problems or have a solution? The app works on cm 11 on my n4 us 4.

Starting for me last night with an update to the app...if you go to the Play Store and check out the reviews..there are few others out there also having the same issue....
UPDATE: I uninstalled the updated Kindle App...located the previous versions APK and it works. They obviously f'd it up...
Its a bug in the app not allowing it to run in Kitkat
Any updates on this getting fixed? The Amazon Appstore is doing the same thing for me now too.

Change your device id to a Nexus 7, and the apps work. Amazon clearly will not allow a kindle fire to run with full Android. Check out twa_priv's cm11 rom thread for a link to a zip file that changes the kindle id. Run it in twrp. It is the 3 or 4 post.
