Hey guys,
thx for all the tips, i got all apps on my fire and it works.

Anyway, i have a question.
Whenever the market is launched, e.g. by clicking a market link in the browser or when an other app calls the market, the amazon appstore gets opened. Is there a way to open the android market instead? Like on "normal" android phones? Simply removing the amazon market does not work, i already tried that.

Thx

Android Market on AKF in the Czech Republic

Hello,
I tried to launch Android Market on my Kindle Fire, I rooted succesfully but I can´t download File Expert (or any other application of this kind) from Amazon Store because it is not available in the Czech Republic yet - in fact I can´t download any application from Amazon Store. Is there any other way how to install any file manager in the Kindle fire without access to Amazon Store?

Calendar and contacts

I got Google apps all working just fine, but it seems like i can't get my calendar to show my calendars and I don't have my contacts syncing.
Are others having this issue? Or did I miss a step?

Market Continually crashes

I have root, I copied com.amarket.apk from gapps to system/app. I changed permissions to 644 then installed. It crashes every time. Can someone give me an idea of what I can do now to get fixed?

The best way to do it is if already have an Android phone, you can use an app like App Manager to back up the apps to your SD and transfer them from there to your Kindle.
If you can do that, try doing a Google search for the apps. Some devs have them posted as apk files. Just make sure you go into the kindles settings and allow non-market apps.

Thank you for your advice. I have .apk file but I don´t know where in Kindle Fire should I copy it and install it. There is no file manager in my Kindle Fire. Thank you.

I was searching for a week for this, because im from Romania and amazon store doesnt work also. In fact its easy. Root your device and then install Root Explorer directly on the device. Open the browser in Kindle, search for Root Explorer, download and install. It works, now my problem is that GMArket is opening but i cant install/download any app. Hope it helps!
