Working [amazon appstore apk] [amzon mp3 apk] [amazon kindle apk]

LinearEquation · Dec 19, 2013

Edit 1/19/14: Hashcode has released a new build that has apparently fixed the issue with the amazon apks.
His newest build (as of today) is here for KFHD7 2012 http://goo.im/devs/Hashcode/tate/cm11//cm-11-20140117-UNOFFICIAL-tate.zip
And here for KFHD 8.9 2012 http://goo.im/devs/Hashcode/jem/cm11/cm-11-20140117-UNOFFICIAL-jem.zip
I encourage all to try this build (or the newest one) first. I'll still leave these apks here just in case for the mean time.

editing the build.prop is working,too. At least with the amazon kindle apk (that's what I've tried).

go to
/system/build.prop

rename
ro.product.manufacturer=amazon

to e.g.
ro.product.manufacturer=UrChoice

Are you saying that making those changes would allow us to use the most recent version of the Kindle application from the Google Play store?

Be careful editing prop builds, It can backfire. Make a backup if you do.

Yes, at least for my updated kindle app, that wasn´t working before editing the build.prop.

Mistaz: Thanks: Do you have a favorite device to rename the Kindle to? Galaxy? or do you have a rename that works?

Mistaz: Thanks: Pardon the dumb questions -
I thought the name was critical to the tablet's function and had to be some officially registered tablet name.
I have never fooled with the build prop. Guess, I will have to look at the modified links.

I purchased some apps on the Amazon app store but I can't not get them to work on my Kindle when I try to run them on my Kindle Fire HD 7, I re-download the apps from the Amazon app store but they say not compatible with the device, is there a fix for this?

I'm running CyanogenMod 11 btw

You can back them up with Titanium Backup, uninstall the apps and then restore them with Titanium Backup. That works on crashing apps but not all apps in the app store are compatible with the Kindle series.

I can't install the Kindle apk from this thread on hashcode's CM11 ROM on my KFHD7. I've tried clicking it to install, but this always ends in the install failing with "App not installed." I also tried copying it to /system/app (and setting proper permissions), but the app still fc's immediately upon starting.

You don't need to make this a system app. Try removing completely and re-downloading it to the download portion of the internal SD card. Then open it. It should work just fine unless something from CM is preventing the app from working properly.

Nevermind. Not sure how I got it to install, but after deleting the apk from system/app and rebooting, I got it to install. Thanks for the apks!

You're welcome.

I can confirm editing the line ro.product.manufacturer in the build.prop works. Just change after the = to whatever you want. I used "Amzn". Tested on KFHD7. As has been stated, always make a backup of your build.prop before changing anything.

Once you put a custom ROM on your tablet, the "kindle Edition" apps will not work anymore. The short answer is you have to find a non Kindle edition app.

The newest CM drop from Hashcode has change the prop build to make it an Android. If the newest build is used then the newest APK's can be used and the ones I uploaded are no longer necessary. I updated the OP when the new CM 11 was dropped and opted to leave the old APK's up only for those that may experience some random issue. As far as the downloads, they work fine. Not sure what to say about that.
