[Q] How to get Amazon (kindle fire apps) to work on Cm7 or Miui?

I bought the game order & chaos kindle fire edition and I want to download the game from the amazon app store with cm7 or miui flashed on my kindle fire. Is it possible to trick the amazon app store into thinking I am running stock by changing the Build.Prop or anything? Or does anyone have a fix so I can download my (kindle fire edition) apps?
I have also read a few things that I would have to download the game then back it up with titanium, but some people say that even doing that method, gameloft games dont work.
Thanks I appreciate any help you may have.

don't think that will be possible with an other rom than stock
if you fake the fingerprint in build.prop you'r still not registered with amazon
the only possibillity i see is to flash back to stock (the prerooted image from here !!!), register, download the games and copy the apk to a save place.
if the games will work i don't know but you have them and can go further

you could try downloading them and then backing them up with titanium backup

I was able to back up the game, and I then restored it on cm7.
It loads the game and then needs to download 6 mb of additional data.
After finishing the download the game restarts and keeps force closing.
The only other thing I can think of is to change the build.prop back to original stock while still using cm7.
Or I wonder if the android market version would work, but I really dont want to to buy it again..!

Android Market version works fine on CM7... I used this thread for build.prop modifications.

I’m with you on this; purchased a bunch of Gameloft games during the $1 sale on the Android Market with the expectation that once I got my Kindle I would be able to play them on a Tablet as I can’t play games on my phone. After I got the Market and found out they did not show in the market or be side loaded went and purchased the Kindle additions. Have since flashed CM7 and was able to download the majority of the games from the Android Market after using the CM7 Build.Prop tweak that has been floating around but still have 2 of 8 games that after downloading additional data will tell me that I should ask for a refund because my device is not compatible. Otherwise the Build.Prop floating around for cm7 worked out.

I haz idea
could someone back theirs up and post apk link?

[Q] Cannot cannot register kindle fire after replace the Amazon Kindle.

So hello guys. Before say anything , I have to say this first.
My English is not good, or should I say, terrible ! So if you see anything wrong with the grammar , I'm truly sorry for my Bad english.
So ok, Let's get straight to the point.
- I'm having A Kindle Fire, the FW is 6.2.2 and I have rooted it.
- I'm using the Go Launcher Ex and when I tried to use Amazon Kindle Apps ( To read books ) , I just couldn't launch it so .... I tried to replace it with the Amazon Kindle from the Google Market.
After I downloaded and installed it, I CAN open the apps now, but I couldn't connect to Amazon Sever ( or as It said ) , so does my Amazone Appstore ( I mean the one that Amazon put in first ). And I couldn't register my Kindle Fire either
- After that **** , I tried to " Reset to Factory Defaults " but It still the same...
So guys, any advice ? And well, I also want to know that can I use any other launcher beside Go Launcher Ex ( Like the Launcher Pro ? I installed it but It keep Force Close ).
Thanks in advance , and sorry for my Bad English.

If you want to try another luncher, maybe try other ROM for KF. CM7 have ADW, ICS have pretty stock luncher too
For CM7 go
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1390773
ICS is still in alpha build so I cant recomend it to you.
About Registration - Try to unroot device before attempting to log in to amazon.

Root KF should not block connecting Kindle Reader to the Amazon server. I can connect to Amazon download and read all my books same like prior to rooted. Now my KF is run on ICS still has no issue with Kindle Reader. May be, you register you device to the wrong account, try check it again.

easy fix - uninstall the amazon reader app
I had the same problem after rooting I installed a ton of new software, and the amazon standard services (books, movies etc) all stopped working and the content was "missing". It was still on the device but did not show.
I restored factory defaults (from Kindle Fire settings menu), re-rooted and re-installed software more carefully.
For me it turned out the Amazon reader app was the culprit. I removed it and everything worked and is working fine. So you don't need to reset and re-root - just remove the app.
Assuming you loaded this software for a reason but you don't need it. If you are side-loading books into the device and you want them to show up in your "Books" tab, then you just need to use Calibre software on your computer to change the metadata of the e-book file from PDOC to EBOK

The Kindle App on Kindle Fire poses problems of data corruption for normal users at times. The solution is this:
===
Make sure WiFi is 'ON' when doing this)
Go to the Gear wheel at top right when at Home Screen
Then click on:
. More,
. Settings,
. Applications
... (choosing ALL applications to view),
Select 'Amazon Kindle' and then
. Click to clear DATA (which clears the cache at the same time)
Press Home at bottom left
SIT BACK as it all returns to The Way It Was.
No restart needed. No need to remove the app.
===
Not sure that would work for your situation but it's a real possibility.

[Q] Dead Space files?

I bought the Dead Space (Kindle Fire) edition app on the amazon app store from my kindle that has the usual Amazon interface, but I wanted to transfer this game to my other Kindle that is running CM9 but I cant seem to find the files using Root Explorer. Any suggestions? (If your wondering why I just don't download it from the Amazon Appstore for Android, that is because I does not show in My Apps! Perhaps that is because it does not detect the Kindle Fire or I just dont know).

I'm having the same issue as you do. My CM7 doesn't show Dead Space in the Amazon App Store. It's probably because it's no longer the Fire stock ROM.
What I have heard works is that if you root your stock Fire and use TitaniumBackup to backup both the app and data, and restore it on your other Fire, it should work.

That's what I ended up doing. I went back to stock 6.2.2, installed Dead Space, backed up the app with Titanium Backup, then re-rooted using BurritoRoot 3, and reinstalled cwm recovery and cm9.
Just be sure to have the Amazon app store installed on cm7/cm9 and you've logged in, otherwise Dead Space won't load.

OK now I have a different problem! I was able to find the file if I'm not mistaken they are in the mnt/asec using root explorer but the kindle I used to download this game is my sisters kindle with stock rom using her amazon account. Unfortunately I can't refund this product to buy it from my account. With this being said I can't play this game because It says I don't own it. Is there a way I can alter any codes to get this wrking.? Because it is a pain to install and uninstall the amazon appstore just to be signing in and out to play dead space or the rest of my apps . Please I need an answer.

Rooted HD8-6G: Amazon Store and Amazon Kindle broken

Hi - I have a rooted HD8-6G with Google Play that has been working flawlessly for a long time now. However, I recently tried to update the Kindle app and it always fails.
I then tried to open the Amazon Store app, and it immediately terminates upon opening. I figure that the two may be related.
Is this a known problem?
I suppose I can root my HD8 and start from scratch again, but if Amazon apps aren't going to work anymore, I don't want to waste my time.
Thanks,
¿GJ?

I'm sorry but because of the root Amazon's factory APKs think your running a non kindle firmware, because these APKs have the ability to receive more offers, download more content, etc. You may need to uninstall them and then install the default ones from the play store.

What do you mean by "have rooted with Google Play"??? It seems like you don't understand what term "rooting" means.
Unfortunately (or fortunately ), Fire HD 8 2016 (6-th gen) can NOT be rooted; all "guides" available on internet are the scams and bloatware/rootkits installers, nothing more.
Where is no way to root Fire HD 8 2016 (same as 2017) but literally nothing wrong with the FireOS. Anyone can install Google's services and Play store app, and enjoy "freedom" of the access to the Android apps world!

I don't think you are really rooted, i ran into the same issue after installing the google play store. Simply uninstall the updates installed by google for store and kindle and they will work again.

Install from Play Store to Kindle Fire from PC

I've got a Kindle Fire HD8 and installed the Play Store on it and it works great but is there a way to make the device show up when trying to install something from my PC web browser to the device?

Usually not as the full Google framework is not installed using the methods outlined for unrooted devices.

Probably not as FireOS is not friendly to a full GAaps install. You'd need to go with a custom ROM which may or may not play nice with Google Play. Bottom line: assume browser/desktop Play Store visablity a bonus when targeting a hacked Fire device.
