Rooted Kindle Fire HD with working GAPPS and Play Store

---

So I gave this a shot and it worked perfectly.

1. Root your Kindle Fire HD
2. Downloaded and install the GoogleServicesFramework.apk
3. Download Vending.apk
4. Using a file explorer app on the Fire with superuser permissions AND the system file permissions set to Read-Write, move Vending.apk to /system/app.
5. Change the permissions of Vending.apk to User - Read/Write, Group - Read, Others - Read
6. Install Vending.apk
7. The Android Market should show up in your Kindle Fire HD apps. Tap on it and follow the steps.
8. Download and install the Play.apk to upgrade the the android market to the current Play market.
9. Enjoy!

GoogleServicesFramework.apk - mediafire.com/?zaumfwhraxcifqf
Vending.apk - mediafire.com/?31bn3e258jjpj8d
Play.apk - mediafire.com/?wwcqrlfwt8o1gnv

how about attaching said apks?

or at least which ones?

i'm going to guess it's the latest gapps for ICS though?

Keep in mind that we have no way of restoring the system folder yet, so if anything goes wrong with this process, you may end up bricking your tablet. Just a warning.

should have paid more attention to that *facepalm*

in step 4 what should I set to read/write? user, group, what?

After upgraded to 7.2.1, I couldn't get Google map to work. I have in it put in system/app folder, changed permission. But it just won't install...

so, i'm getting application not installed errors when trying to do this.

can you install different launcher now?
