Has anyone figured out why or better yet figured out a work around for why the Kindle software won't start unless you are in the stock UI? I can't get it to open from within GoLauncher at all. Sure I can just go back to the stock UI and read my books and magazines, but it would be nice to get this from inside GoLaunder or any of the other launchers.

That's weird, mine launches from Go Launcher just fine. So does my Amazon Video. No idea why though.
For me it only launches in Go Launcher if I have a book already open in the Stock Kindle UI.
For the time being I have a shortcut on the desktop to the amazon launcher. Just 1 extra step, seems to work. And when I hit home, right back to ADW EX homescreen.

I was getting ready to post this same question, I've tried 4 or 5 other ereaders and none work under the GO launcher.. ???
I use ADW EX. I have a shortcut for Amazon launcher on the desktop.
I tap it, and amazon pops up as if you hit the home button on stock.
I go to books, app store for daily free app, etc. All is good.
I hit home button, i go back to ADW EX desktop.
Yep, I just use the icons in the launcher or desktop shortcut, dock shortcut etc.. All Amazon app icons work fine for me either in Go or ADW. No issues.
Kindle apps not working after I rooted and installed Android market on my Kindle Fire
Hey guys, Please help with my problems:
1. I have rooted and installed Android market on my KF successfully. So far, can download and install any apps from the market and run well.
(when stalling the Market, and stuck with vending.apk mounting (it always said"mount failed", I use Root Explorer instead of File Explore v.2.17.1, then it is ok)
2. After having the market done, I wrongly installed another KINDLE APP from the market into my Fire without thinking that this already pre-installed in KF no matter how we root it. However, when i run this, Kindle app still run well but I only can see the eBook that on my Cloud with Amazon but not all my ebooks that i copied in KF before.
I then tried copying all these ebooks to "/sdcard/kindle" like instruction of others, but my ebooks still cannot be shown on Kindle Apps
3. When I went to bed yesterday, I shut my KF down. This morning, when woke up, I turned it on, then I saw status "Installing the Updates....." automatically at start-up stage. When getting into the launcher (I used GO LAUNCHER EXPLORER V.2.7.0), tap into the Kindle Apps icons, nothing appear. It's freeze now.
4. I cannot not remove or uninstall the Kindle Apps (probably because it was pre-installed by Amazon in KF)
Please help.
Yesterday I received this little cube. I want to know how to install non-market apps such as Chrome and XBMC(android version not ouya exclusive version). Please advice.
By the way, do I need to root Ouya?
I did this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2347214
It works perfectly, use xbmc (the version for ouya) connected to the computer in my home where all my media is stored.
You can install ESFile Explorer, sideload apps and more.

I rooted mine (I suppose old habit) and flashed StockPlus 519r2 for good measure - it is NOT mandatory, but offers some added flexibility (GPU clock control, easier sideloading, Titanium backup).
While not super complicated, the procedure to load CWM and a ROM is a bit trickier than on other devices (perfect example is my Nexus 4 with Wugfresh Root Toolkit - graphical interface and worry-free operation).
But like I said, you'll be just fine loading ES FileMgr and then sideloading from flash. Several sites offer browser links to do it. ouyafree.webs.com is just one of them (no, it's not mine ). Same info is available in these forums too.
I have installed Chrome browser but is it not working OK. It turn off as soon as it is opened. Actually, the Opera dev version started to fail with the same problem after Chroe was installed. So, I don't know if all the Android apps will work on Ouya.

Most def NOT all apps work on Ouya - remember we're bypassing the Google Play hardware check that would prevent apps to install if the dev did not consider a certain platform.
I even ended up a couple of times installing an app on a tablet, then taking a Titanium backup, move it to Ouya and "restore" it. Example of this are apps that require a swipe to move through initial demo screens before actually launching (Feedly...)

So the best is to install Google Play and install the apps from there?

Definitely. Google Play shoulda been standard on Ouya, IMO. Uploading APKs to Dropbox was also a pretty easy method before I went the Play route
I recently picked up an Asus ME70CX (K01A), and thought I'd share my rooting/debloating experience. This process not only sped up the general UI speed/flow of my device (quite noticeably), it freed a considerable amount of RAM. Given the fact that this device only ships with 1GB, this process should help anyone looking to get the most out of this otherwise awesome little tab.
There have been other posts concerning the debloating of various other versions of the MeMO Pad 7, such as one by Gentaz pertaining to the ME572C. Take a look at his thread, as well as a few others concerning the rooting process of the ME70C/ME70CX if you are unfamiliar with the process as a whole. The following links will provide you with the tools/information necessary to gain root access with little more than a few clicks of the mouse.
1. Gentaz's post on the 572C; also helpful for some insight into some performance tweaks that I don't get into:

2. A post that I added to concerning the rooting process for the ME70CX; make sure you reference the original post by smaury (links embedded), as it contains the AsusIntelRootKit tools etc:

Once you're rooted, you can use Titanium Backup to safely freeze the following system apps/services from the stock, rooted 4.4.2 firmware:
1. Amazon Kindle
2. ASUS Demo
3. ASUS EZ Launcher
4. ASUS Launcher (make sure you have another launcher installed before you freeze these two, or you'll end up with a blank home screen)
5. ASUS Miracast Dongle Tool (unless you use one)
6. Bbbler Actors (wtf?)
7. Browser (ASUS)
8. Calendar (ASUS; has the same icon as calendar storage)
9. Calendar Storage (ASUS; keep if you've kept the stock calendar app)
10. Chrome
11. Cloud Print
12. Data Transfer
13. DLNA Service
14. Do It Later
15. Email (ASUS)
16. eMusic
17. File Manager (you may run into minor problems, as some native apps rely on the native file manager; still, safe to freeze and unfreeze later)
18. MicroFilm
19. Movie Studio
20. Music (ASUS)
21. MyASUS
22. Omlet Chat
23. Party Link
24. PC Link
25. Remote Link
26. Share Link
27. SuperNote
28. Weather (freezing this will remove it from your lock screen, saving considerable battery)
29. WeatherTimeService
30. WebStorage

Unfreeze any of these at any time if you need them, or just don't freeze them. I don't recommend uninstalling (unless you're confident in your Titanium Backup files), only because you can expand the memory to about 80 total gigs with a memory card. I suppose you can if you need the space, but I didn't try it on any of these.
Prior to this process, I was averaging about 350-400 free MB of RAM on tablet idle. Now, after a quickboost (RAM freeing tool in the quick settings toolbar), I'm averaging about 575-610 on idle. It goes down about 50 MB with encryption enabled, but the UI is considerably faster. My battery life has also drastically improved. I don't have specific numbers to give, but I've undoubtedly noticed an increase. These numbers can fluctuate depending on what Google services you use, as I use a whole bunch (including four email addresses and Google accounts).
Also, a quick note about the lockscreen wallpaper when you disable the ASUS Lanucher:
You WILL lose the ability to change the lockscreen wallpaper when you freeze the stock launcher. To change the wallpaper, simply unfreeze the ASUS Launcher, set it as the default, and use the function within the launcher itself (NOT the settings menu option) to change the wallpaper. You can then set your launcher of choice as the default once again, and freeze the ASUS launcher when you're finished. Your selection will be saved.
It is also worth mentioning that Xposed Framework does indeed work on my particular device, but I cannot be sure that it will work on yours (although I have no reason to believe that it wouldn't).
Feel free to reply with your own personal results with apps that I have not mentioned, or with your general gripes/pleasantries.

Asus Memo pad 7 Me70cx
It is also worth mentioning that Xposed Framework does indeed work on my particular device
@Monster212
I bricked my Me70cx using xposed installer de.robv.android.xposed.installer_v32_de4f0d.apk.
Would you mind to share with us which xposed installer worked for your Me70cx?
Thank you
The xposed installer I used was de.robv.android.xposed.installer_v33_36570c.apk
I have not been able to get xposed to work for me...
That's odd, because it's working perfectly on my device.
Did you modify the file system in any way after you rooted it? Not freezing of system apps, but ASUS firmware updates?
For instance, there's a very odd 29MB system update that might appear after you root some ASUS devices (in spite of the fact that rooted devices usually don't receive any OTA updates). This happened on the first ME70CX I had. I accepted the update, and afterwards the device wouldn't enter recovery. No matter what. It was the same day I purchased it, so I returned it for an identical model; the same one I have now. This tablet did not receive that update. I did not try xposed on the first one, but it might be worth mentioning anyway.
That's really the only thing I can think of that would affect xposed.
Has this tablet got a custom rom for it yet? All i keep seeing is the ME176C(X) custom roms but this is ME70CX
I spent the whole night googling how to turn my birthday gift Nook into a Kindle, I owe most credit to this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/nook-touch/general/nook-glowlight-plus-t3230323
Here is what you need:
1. Root, just download Kingo from https://www.kingoapp.com/, with just one click your Nook will be rooted.
2. Download apk you want to install from the web, e.g. I found kindle from here
http://pluto.androidapksfree.com/python/com.amazon.kindle_v4.19.0.131-1145831555_Android-4.1.apk
3. I am a Chinese user and I used 360 assistant (http://zhushou.360.cn/) to install apk from PC. However, you will still only see the the native Nook app. To show other apps you installed, you need a launcher app, I picked Nova launcher. Bingo! After Nova installed, if you pressed home button, you will see the normal Android desktop, from there you will see your kindle App.

So, I got a Fire HD 10, and I mainly use it for study, so I need usually to multitask or at least transition smoothly between apps, cause now I have a pdf on Google drive opened and a photo and each time I switch, I have to go and open gallery, folder, and choose it, also the pdf loads each time from scratch.
Also, How can I give Greenify the usage access?
