Question [Q] [REQUEST] Kindle Fire launcher

Hi,

I really like the bookshelf-like launcher on the Fire, did someone achieve to extract it? Thank you!

The kindle launcher is not all that great. The carousel is super sensitive and most app icons will look like crap on it because they are blown up 4-5 times their regular size and it always keeps a history which you cannot really change or rearrange. I am not sure if there are any other dependencies except for maybe all the amazon apps.

Here is a link to the apk...

Does the way they forked the Android software affect the way this launcher may work on other android devices?

DONATE TO ME
I tried to use this on my thunderbolt and it doesn't work at all. Words are all jumbled and nothing launches.

Thanks for the link.

Doesn't work on Moto Photon at all (FC's immediately)
Works on NT, sorta... doesn't really do much... books and mags is empty. If you have the amazon video app installed that works.. the appstore is installed but doesn't link when clicking "store". Browser not found of course. but it does show your recent apps and netflix shows in the recent apps coverflow.. and the flow works.

Damn.. it looks nice on the NT compared to the normal NT launcher... but not likely gonna work any better than this.

could it be a processor requirement? i tried running it on a nook color and it fc'ed every single time. " process com.amazon.kindle.otter has stopped unexpectedly."

This would be a pretty decent launcher if we could mod it work with other devices.. and other apps besides the amazon based ones.

All Words are mixed up and no Apps are displayed...useless on Samsung Galaxy S II...

But, I've made a "Homescreentheme" that looks like the Kindle Fire.
