I, along with others, have ran into issues on CM7 downloading apps from the Market intended for the Kindle Fire, as it claims that our device is not supported. Editing the build.prop could fix this, and I'd like to include it as an FAQ on using DizzyDen's IMEI Generator.
I just need the settings for "Device_Manufacturer," "Manufacturer_Device," and "Device_Model" for a stock Kindle Fire, if someone could please share.

I don't see "Device_Manufacturer" or "Manufacturer_Device" or "Device Model".
I can give you some close settings....
ro.product.model=Full Android on Blaze or SDP
ro.product.brand=generic
ro.product.name=blaze
ro.product.device=blaze
ro.product.manufacturer=TI

Can someone post the stock build.prop file please?
I renamed mine to build.prop.bak but didn't move it. Now its gone
Did y'all get the build.prop from stock yet? If not, my wife just opened her fire last night and it's still completely stock, I can pull it from there if needed.

Where do I find build.prop?

Click to expand...

In /system directory... use an app like root explorer...
I have edited the build.prop by using copying it and editing it on my PC. Then I tried to paste the edited one back into the System folder. But I cannot because its a read-only system file. How can I edit this file and save successfully or paste this file sucessfully.
Or how did you do it?
Thanks.
P.S. Is there anything in there that we can edit to make the app ignore the network? Being that it only allows you to use your "Home Network".

there is good news and bad news:
I'll start with the bad one - not really possible, as it is not just a simple app, it's more like a framework, and devs need to work too much for this to be possible, if this is ever possible
The good news - you can download the kindle apps from amazon, and use them one by one, like Kindle for Android, Amazon Mp3, etc. :good:

Aw man i figured there was more too it since the launcher app would simply force close every time. Yea i know i can do those but i liked the kindle app better on the stock kindle rom. Guess ill have to chose :/ thanks though at least i got my sure answer

Yes just edit the build.prop file in system fine device id change kindlefire 2 to nexus 7 and save and exit make a backup of original i think this is correct.

I've done this on the Atrix before using ROM Toolbox. One word of warning, I soft bricked my 1st Kindle with it by tinkering on the default ROM, so make sure you have backups.

It works, but for now I left the script so it gives more output if you have an error. So far the only problems people have had were related to their own java paths not being set right, still not sure why that was but it wasn't related to my script. If such an occurrence happens it will just push the original unmodded framework back onto the device and make a backup still, in which case you would have to choose the restore option before trying again. I may add a preventative measure so it will just error out if the class paths are incorrect, but I have to get the exit error code from someone with the problem.

I used a widget to do this, it's a lot less of a hassle. Desktop VisualiZer, you can set it as large as you want it and place things over the top of it. It works exactly like a wallpaper, but it's just a widget. You need a launcher that lets you stack things on top of each other like Nova. Plus it wont break with every patch.
