Question [request]Possible to get kindle default reader on rooted Fire?

One of the main reasons i continue flashing back to the stock rom is because of the awful reader apps. Is it possible to get the stock reader flashed over?

Sure.

TiBu then flash to a good ROM and restore the crappy delivered kindle app.

Or, keep your good ROM and download the kindle app from Amazon market.

I know recently someone discovered that the "Web" link in the stock rom (Silk) is actually a .apk. I wonder if its something similar for the reader. I know that took quite a bit of work to port over though and most of the devs around now are working on the ICS port. You interested in getting you hands dirty here or are you requesting someone else to look into it?

Making the stock kindle reader is always good to have, however...I would suggest you all to try this e reader: Mantano Reader.


It also reads epubs!

+1 on Mantano Reader. I use this and also HIGHLY recommend it as it has options close to that of the one you used in stock kindle launcher.

Here's a list of the preinstalled apps on the stock 6.2.1 rom. I tried installing KindleForOtter.apk on CM7, but it doesn't run. It probably depends on one (or more) of the other apps. Extract the bin file and look in /system/app to try some of these on CM7.

Code:
AccountAndSyncSettings.apk
air_runtime.apk
amazonmp3-unsigned.apk
AmazonVenezia.apk
ApplicationsProvider.apk
ATVAndroidClient.apk
AudibleAndroidApplication-venezia.apk
CalendarProvider.apk
CertInstaller.apk
Cloud9SystemBrowserProvider-unsigned.apk
Cloud9-unsigned.apk
com.amazon.dcp.apk
Contacts.apk
ContactsProvider.apk
CSApp-unsigned.apk
DefaultContainerService.apk
DownloadProvider.apk
DownloadProviderUi.apk
DrmProvider.apk
Email.apk
Facebook.apk
Gallery3D.apk
HTMLViewer.apk
IMDb-2.3.apk
KindleForOtter.apk
LatinIME.apk
Launcher.apk
LiveWallpapers.apk
LiveWallpapersPicker.apk
MagicSmokeWallpapers.apk
MarketIntentProxy.apk
MediaProvider.apk
MyAccount-unsigned.apk
oem_install_flash_player_signed.apk
OOBE-unsigned.apk
OTASilentInstall.apk
OtterAppManager.apk
OtterTutorial.apk
PackageInstaller.apk
PicoTts.apk
Provision.apk
Pulse-amazon.apk
Quickoffice_AMAZON_4.1.467_VC.apk
QuickSearchBox.apk

I personally would rather use the Kindle app from the Market, the stock Kindle app is too finicky when it comes to books you put on the device yourself.
