Hi prokennexusa,

It does not work. Upon reboot, it automatically shows the message that talk has stopped. It shows the message twice. Trying to launch it also displays the same message.

OK, we have safely eliminated Talk as the trouble.

Follow these steps please:

Play Step 1 Download GoogleServicesFramework.apk, AccountAndSyncSettings.apk and GoogleLoginService.apk to your Desktop

Play Step 2 Using Windows Explorer move GoogleServicesFramework.apk, AccountAndSyncSettings.apk and GoogleLoginService.apk from your desktop to /Kindle Drive/Download.

Play Step 3 Using ES File Explorer app, open ES File Explorer on your Kindle. Go to the Setting Menu on ES File Explorer. Choose Root Settings, Select all the options here. A Superuser window will Popup, be sure to click "Allow".

Play Step 4 Now on the Kindle Fire HD use ES File Explorer to move GoogleServicesFramework.apk, AccountAndSyncSettings.apk and GoogleLoginService.apk from /sdcard/Download to /system/app replacing the current versions.

Play Step 5 Next change the permissions on GoogleServicesFramework.apk, AccountAndSyncSettings.apk and GoogleLoginService.apk by long pressing each apk until you see an option window. Select Permissions and change all 3 apk permissions to Owner: Read-Write, Group: Read and Others: Read.

Play Step 6 Install all 3 apk's: GoogleServicesFramework.apk, AccountAndSyncSettings.apk and GoogleLoginService.apk by clicking on each on and choose Install. Click OK to Replace. Ignore any install errors.

Play Step 7 Reboot the Kindle

AVIC (Artificial Intelligent Voice Control) (Alice) - Settings

To All,

We have a large number of questions around AVIC Alice. This application is very powerful but fist it needs

to learn your voice and learn what applications to use. Learning your voice happens over time, some of

the applications need to be setup under the AVIC > Settings Menu. This is a synopsis of the Settings:

Common Settings > This is where you select Language, Calendar Settings, SMS Settings, Temperature
Settings, Choose Search Engine, Choose Navigation, Speaker Mode, and Media Path

Display > This is where you setup the Design and Keep Screen Alive.

Record Settings > This is where you choose functions like Voice Search Box, Wake-up Mode, Record at Start-Up,
Dialog Mode and Play Sounds.

Personal Settings > This is where you will setup the Voice, Assistant Name(Default Alice), Your Name, and Home Address.

Hardware > This is where you setup the Reviver (You can control a home AV Receiver through Voice Commands).

Social Networks > This is where you setup your Facebook login and Facebook Preferences

About Us > This is about the developer and includes their contact informtion.

Did you run out of disk space? Sounds like you copied all 38 apk's in the

google_apps folder to /system/app rather than the selected 28. Is this possible?

Judging by the error, this is what you did. Move the 10 back to /sdcard/download

Then follow our instructions below to reinstall the Google Play Store.

Oh my...looks like I indeed goofed! I tried all 38. You're right. I even ignored the warning to be fresh and not tired! Even my wife warned me to let my brain rest plus i was sick. haha. Gotta pay attention more. Fortunately I got it working again. Thanks!

Cmonsta,

Good job! No worries, you obviously has enough sense to be able to figure out the final issues. We actually

have a warning on the site to do it when you are fresh, bad Cmonsta! Anyway, good work and thank you

for the feedback. The simple words "Thanks!" is powerful and motivates our team to keep improving this

series and keep it growing.

Take Care.

Warning - Disable Auto Update on YouTube Application

To All-

We have found a bug on the latest version of YouTube HD. The Bug is through the

Google Play Automatic Update service when it attempts to update YouTube. The

latest version fails on the Kindle Fire HD, so do not attempt the update until we

have had a chance to resolve the problem. In the mean time, disable Automatic

Updates on the YouTube Application through Google Play Store by opening

Google Play Store, search for YouTube, then Uncheck "Allow automatic updating".

We will post a response when the problem has been resolved. If you find

YouTube missing, just reinstall the application using the google_apps

folder or the attached YoutubeHD.apk.

Just completed all the tutorials (beginning with the original rooting tutorial)! Everything seems to be working fine thus far, I haven't really had a chance to run it all through a full exercise. Having said that, tried opening and closing everything and only thing i seem to be having trouble with is Google Earth and Maps not being able to locate my spot. Is that a common thing or have i missed something?

Regardless, just want to say amazing tutorials!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Go to the Kindle Settings by pulling down the upper bar where you see the clock, choose

Yes this works fine on the Kindle Fire 2, Kindle Fire HD 7" and the Kindle Fire HD 8.9".

We have tested this service on all three platforms without any issues.

Second time i'm writing this cause my post isn't appearing.....

I tried turning on Location Based Services but no luck. Tried turning it off, rebooting kindle and turning it back on, still nothing. Everything else about Earth/Maps works except finding my location. I tried going on the maps site using Dolphin and even then, wasn't able to find my location. Any thoughts?

One other problem I've encountered is that audio in Talk isn't working. We can both see each other and messages work fine but no audio at all. I tried voice call alone and still no luck, was able to hear him for a fraction of a second before it went back to useless noise. Kind of sounds like when a sound driver isn't installed properly on an older Windows OS, it makes this whooshing sound.

I am having similar issue with Location Services after following the tutorial. I was on version 7.2.2 when I first noticed the location services issue. I updated to 7.2.3, re-rooted and followed the tutorial again. I still had no luck with location services. prokennexusa gave me an updated NetworkLocation.apk that I installed to /system/app and changed permissions. I tried to reinstall the apk and I got an error that it wouldn't install. After rebooting, Location Services still didn't work. I then performed a factory reset, re-rooted and reinstalled Google Play and Google Apps and I am still having issues with Location Services.

If the issue was across the board i could understand, but what is weird for me is that MapQuest from Amazon App Store is the only app that will find my location. All other apps i tried to use give me an error that my location cannot be found. I opened up the 7.2.3 update file from Amazon and looked in the system/app folder and couldn't find the NetworkLocation.apk. I am at a loss of what to try next to get Location Services to work.

@ prokennexusa

Sorry for disappearing on you, especially when you were trying to help me. What happened is, I decided to try and do a factory reset.... And well now I have a whole other set of problems. I have a post here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2084788 which explains a bit more.

Thank you for all your help!

LBS for Google apps

Thanks a ton for these tutorials prokennexusa! They've turned what I considered a borderline useless KFHD 7 into a truly customizable table that I now use every day (I started out simply wanting to get Google Voice Search and Flash working; Go Launcher HD was unexpected gravy!). My wife purchased a 8.9" for her parents and I've successfully followed these tutorials for it as well.

However as undied and rjgonzalez73 have noted, I also cannot get Google Maps, Earth or Latitude to find my location. These are both Wifi-only KFHDs with both options under Settings -> LBS enabled and rebooted since. Using Chrome under its mobile profile, I received and allowed the "google.com wants to use your device's location" prompt but the Google homepage still shows "Unknown" under the search field.

Any thoughts would be much appreciated!

How to find /System/lib Path - Kindle Fire HD and 2

mushasho said:

Sent using Tapatalk for Android

mushasho,

The /system/lib path is found by first making sure you enable Root in ES File Explorer by going

into the ES File Explorer Root Settings, then check everything in Root Settings - be sure to

Allow Root when you see the Superuser pop up. Next, apply the settings by clicking OK until

you are back to the main ES File Explorer interface. Usually ES File Explorer defaults to local

/sdcard. Look at the very top, in small letters at the top left should be local, after local

should be the current path /sdcard maybe /sdcard/Download. Click the Up until you see

the system folder. Click on the System folder, next look for the lib folder, click to open

the lib folder. That is it! You now know how to find /system/lib. Does this make sense?
