[Q] Lost Amazon Reg on combo config?

[kschang]

Setup ROM slot 2 to have clean Amazon ROM, then did the HDXposed and Thor-Gapps patch to get Playstore working. Was working great.

Today, was about to read eBook, when I noticed I can't get access to Amazon any more. Instead of "<name>'s Kindle", it just says "My Kindle".

If I go into "My Account" in settings, I get a "this Kindle was not registered". However, touching the register button just blinks the screen. And needless to say none of the Amazon apps will open, or just shows the register button, which does nothing.

I can wipe the ROM and start over, but I'd like to do a little debugging first. So, what should I do? And is there a way to 'save' this Amazon reg info (Titanium? Nandroid? Other?) so I can just "restore" ? (kinda like those "rootsaver" apps, I imagine)

Found a way to fix it, strangely.

One night my HDX7 just acted REALLy REALLY slow. normally 30 fps game went to like 4 fps. Won't turn off. So I did the almost unthinkable... I held down the power button for 30 seconds to force a factory reboot.

After a few reboots... I was surprised to see it boot back into the launcher, not Amazon home. However, all of the apps that loads at boot have been disabled. No Xposed. In fact, some of the apps are gone too.

I tapped on "Home" (Carousel) expecting it to fail, but surprisingly, it worked, and it prompted me to register my device. So I did. I am back in! I'm in Amazon ecosystem again!

The only catch is I can't open Kindle reader directly from regular launcher. I had to launch carousel then pick a book. But otherwise Kindle works fine.

I quickly re-enabled Xposed, HDXposed, and the rest of the hacks and tweaks. I also had to redownload a few apps as somehow this reboot un-linked a few apps from the market, but otherwise, no big deal.

So there you go... if you lost reg, do the factory reboot, reg, then restart Xposed and HDXposed and the rest. And you should be up and running again. Sure beats redo the whole flash procedures.

Turns out this procedure doesn't do a full fix. Had multiple Play store errors. Ended up redoing the whole thing.
