Android Market "Google Play" Install

So i rooted my kindle fire, and, using root explorer, successfully installed Google Play. But i have a few questions.
1. I have v3.15.19, but i cannot find some apps, like 100 floors and Rockplayer(lite).
2. Is there anyway to get Google Play to auto-update?
3. Is there anyway to get Google Play as my main Market, because when it gives me any links, it opens up Amazon Market, not Google Play
4. What else can rooting do for me. All ive done is install Google Play. I know i can install ROMS like CM7 or CM9, but what else can i do?
Thanks!
EDIT: Well I flashed a few ICS Roms(CM9 and Energy) but never having a android device before and getting used to the kindle fire's OS, I really didn't like ICS, and, luckily, I made a backup and i just restored the backup and everything was back to its old state.
Oh yeah, and for 3, I went into the Amazon Market, and went somewhere in the menu that let me decide to open links automatically or have it ask me which one. So that problems solved.

you can flash modaco if your on rooted stock it may give you more benefit in the play store if your having issues. google play and amazon work side by side quite nicely plus you have the benefit of the stock experience if thats what you really want. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1439916

1. It's normal.
2. Clear market's cache and reopen it.
4. You can think of God mode. you can do anything you want, really.

sense no one gave a good answer to Question number 3 I will give it a try
3. the only way to make it so that it loads the Google Play store instead of amazon app store is to Flash a non-Kindle based ROM but before you run and flash a custom ROM.
If you are a prime member I would suggest that you do not flash a non-Kindle based ROM because you will lose your access to the Amazon's Lending Library, and Amazon Instant Video.
I would suggest you flash a non-Kindle based ROM if you wont a full android experience and do not need the services listed above

That isn't necessarily true. I have a rooted KF and am still able to access my Amazon subscription services and videos.
I flashed the MoDaCo ROM and am using GoLauncher EX to still give me the Aneroid feel. In order to get around Amazon's rediculous 'no root' block, I simply use Voodoo OTA RootKeeper to 'save' my root status and fake an un-root status. Then you can restart your amazon app and it will allow you to access your prime and instant video stuff.
When you're done watching, you can return to root status using Voodoo again.
Hope that helps!

That is not what I was Talking about. I know you can use that method to access the services on a Rooted Kindle but to my knowledge there is no method to get access to Amazon Prime services on a Non-Kindle Based Rom.

My apologies, I missed when you said non kindle-based ROM. And to my knowledge you are correct.

Amazon doing something new to block play?
I rooted my KF (6.3.1) and installed the services framework and play (3.5.15), but it won't allow me to login to my google account, says "Can't establish a reliable data connection to the server".
Is Amazon doing something new to keep us away from Play -- something in a hosts table or firewall setting somewhere?

Download and install MoDaCo. It is pre rooted stock UI with Google framework services and Play Store already installed. Besides being a little faster, you really won't notice a difference.

Just rooted Kindle fire for the first time, cannot use apps

Hi, so given that this is my first post here I tried to read through all the noob-guides and search for similar issues, but the effort was ultimately fruitless so I had to create this thread. Hopefully I was not merely incompetent and the question has not been asked a million times already.
So the problem I am facing is that when I enter the GO Launcher market most of the apps tell me "Your device isn't compatible with this version". This is really annoying because the reason I did the root was to gain access to the market/apps. My Kindle Fire was bought as a gift in the US and as such I cannot use the stock market without an American credit card (I am European), fair enough as long as I can get the root solution to work.
So this is what I did:
I rooted the Fire using this guide: Guide had to be removed from post because of posting restrictions for new users
which means I used Kindle Fire Utility, and that whole process went well. Then I did the "install google apps" option within KFU. This apparently installed GO Launcher Ex which I guess must be the way to get the stock ROM to accept the google market. I booted using GO Launcher Ex and all appeared to be well until I accessed the market and almost all the apps told me that "Your device isn't compatible with this version".
I have tried to find a solution on my own, and most places seem to indicate that the problem is that the dpi has been changed. Those topics were also based on different tablet/pdf-readers/phones or different ROMs, thus I did not ask this question in those topics. The problem with saying that the dpi must have been changed is that I have not manually changed it, and I cannot find the option to change it on my Kindle Fire either.
Hopefully one of you savvy gentlemen will be able to assist me with this as I am equal parts confused and inexperienced with rooting tablets.
Thanks in advance for your help!

Go launcher ex does not allow you to install the Google market app. It's just a launcher (the app that opens when you hit the home button)
The easiest solution for you is to install TWRP and FireFireFire and install the Modaco ROM.

Thank you for your quick reply. I wish I could have linked you to the rooting-guide I used. This is what it says after it guides me through the rooting process:
"If you want to stick with the standard Kindle experience but want access to Google apps including the Play Store, Gmail app, and Google Maps, choose the option in Kindle Fire Utility marked “Extras” and then use the option for “Install Google Apps.”"
And that is exactly what I did using KFU. And that is when it installed the Go launcher ex too as far as I could tell.
I already have TWRP and FireFireFire installed through KFU, I could try installing the Modaco ROM, but are you saying that there is no way I can run apps on my rooted Kindle with the stock ROM on it? I just feel like using custom ROMs would complicate my tablet more than what is necessary when all I want is to able to use apps on it. However, if you think that is my best option given the fact that I don't expect my tablet to be capable of anything out of the ordinary, then I will give it a try!

Yes you can use it on the stock ROM. Just find the correct Google apps package and move it to your Kindle via USB. Then boot into twrp and flash it. ( that's how I've always done it. I didn't use kfu)
The Modaco ROM is exactly like the stock kindle fire ROM but it has Google apps already installed and also comes with a modified build.prop.

[Q] Having Problems with my Rooted Kindle Fire PLEASE HELP

Okay So I am tired of trying this on my own and failing so heres the deal... I rooted my Kindle Fire a while ago but for some reason something went wrong in the process. I couldn't browse on the internet without getting an annoying error message and the android market wasn't getting installed. So today I tried fixing it.. AGAIn but today I managed to reinstall CM7 and now I can browse the internet with no errors BUT I still can't get the Android market/ Google play store to get installed properly. So everything seems to be working fine but I can't install the market/play store. So can anyone help me? I tried a few guides most were a little out dated.
If anyone can link me to the proper up to date files for installing the google play store app on my Rooted Amazon Kindle Fire ( running CM7) please post here.

Hey. So you need to install the Google Apps (aka Gapps). I couldn't tell if you had outré if you just installed the play store. Either way, I would reflash the Gapps designed to work with cm7. You can access the Gapps from this thread of hashcode's. Just download the right one and flash it with TWRP in recovery or by adb if you're good with that.

thanks but I fixed it, well not really "FIX" but I installed Jelly Bean and everything works great and I like it better than what I was running before so I guess even though I really wanted to run CM7 this was a needed upgrade. Thank you for your help .

Kindle Fire Root, Cyanogenmod problem.

I rooted my Kindle Fire using the Kindle Fire Utility V 0.9.9 and it was awesome but I decided to take it a step further and try to install the Cyanogenmod as well. When my Kindle was rebooting it was stuck at boot so I did a factory reset wipe in TWRP and when it rebooted it still has cyanogenmod installed, except it starts up fully now.. Only problem is with the wipe I don't have any apps. No ROM manager, No Google Play, no Kindle stuff, etc.
I guess the main thing is how do I get Google Play or some other app service to work on it? I've tried downloading the store .apk but then when I try and run it, it just flashes up and closes immediately.

Oh, fixed everything. Only problem was I didn't install from Gapps from root and so I couldn't get anything on my device. Works great now, can't believe how limited the Kindle Fire interface was.. now it's essentially just a Android Tablet.

Rooting Kindle Fire 8.9 running 8.4.9?

I have been trying to root a Kindle Fire 8.9 running 8.4.9. After I run Bin4ry it seems to work but the tablet is extremely slow and unusable. After I restore to factory settings it is fine again but of course with no root.
Can anyone offer help?? I just want to run another launcher and install apps from google play.
Thank you!

I am not a developer. I am not even particularly computer savvy, but I did this and it worked.
I have had my Kindle Fire HD 8.9 since it was released. I rooted it using Bin4ry. Somehow, the 8.4.9 update was installed and I lost root. I have had a heck of a time getting it back. I got the slow instability as well. I was unable to access google play and kept getting the "google play store has stopped" message. I was about to give up when I found this: Buildprop editor. Its available through the google play store, but of course, I couldn't access the google play store., so I searched the internet for a download of the apk. I plugged in my kindle fire and copied it to the download file. You will also need ES explorer (which is available via amazon) and a super user app, which I also had to find and install. Once I had all of these, I was able to revert back to 8.4.6. which is rootable and it cleared up my sluggishness.
I used this video for reference:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w_HyI1HuqO0
and changed everything using the applicable numbers. Obviously I couldn't use his because he was on the HDX, but the basic premise is the same.
I also have KindleFree, which is available somewhere on this forum and I purchased the upgrade from google play store.. This installs everything I need to make me happy and I can download things from google play and use a launcher instead of the kindle shelves.
This worked for me. It might not work for you and I take no responsibility for any issues you may have as a result of using this method. I performed it at my own risk and prayed a lot. I was also fully prepared to dump my kindle in the trash had it not worked.
