I installed MoDaCo gr8 and it is working perfectly (thank you Paul O'brien). Well, except for one trivial thing, the app icon doesn't behave like all other app icons. I tap the icon and go to Google Play when I go back to Home the Play icon isn't on the carosel. It never shows up on the carosel. Also, on the app page, when sorted by recent, the Play icon always stays on the bottom, even right after I use it.
I have read dozens of threads about problems getting Play to work properly, fortunately I don't have that problem, but no one has mentioned this quirk.
So the silly question, does anyone have any idea what I have done and how I can fix it? This is obviously a trivial problem but if someone knows off the top of their head I would really like to know.
I have tried wiping and reinstalling MoDaCo but that didn't change anything.

Not just that, some of the icons show up as flat grey boxes with nothing in them.
PS - Moved on to other roms after playing with this one for a while
I have no problem with Google Play. Yesterday I noticed that XDA premium got grayed but I was able to access the app. However this morning the app was gone , without any reboot. Simply re-installed and got back. It may not be from the Rom, but could be from KF 6.3

I haven't had that problem, at least not yet. I don't mind the stock KF look which is why I used this rom. Thanks for your input.

That is just as weird. I didn't notice any problems with the stock 6.3 or even after I rooted. After I rooted I installed Market/Play manually but I didn't have the full access to Play that MoDaCo provides. I have wondering if my previous install of Market may have left some residual files in there that aren't playing well with the new rom. But you could be right about it being 6.3. Thanks.

Hi everyone,
Got a bit confused now. I've installed some apps from the market and when I go to "My apps" I see a list of installed apps.
The problem is, their status is set as their price tag, like 'free', but not as 'installed' as it should be.
Those apps are still on my phone and they do run, but in this case I don't know if there's an update are not.
Is there a way to fix this, please?
I hope someone has a clue.

Have you tried to restart your phone?
my phone is unrooted and ever since I got this phone I cannot see the youtube app. Why might this be and does anyone have a fix?

Rather odd. Have you changed your LCD density at all? That will cause some market apps not to show up if they are designed for '240' density.
If you haven't, try going to Settings > Applications > All > Market & uninstall updates and clear your market cache. Reboot your phone and give that a whirl.
Yeah i already tried that with the same result. Its super weird i dont know why i cant see it in the market its like its hidden or something.
The YouTube app has been acting very weird lately, as of last night it would crash randomly and not show my subscriptions. I guess the last update they made screwed it up as I have been seeing more and more postings about this.

Yep, I noticed the exact same thing. I noticed that my 'Home page' was cluttered with stuff that is not relevant to what I watch as well.
For some reason youtube in the market does not support our phone. Maybe its because of us having a bigger screen? If you have appbrain it will show it as in need of an update if you go to update thru appbrain it will take you to the app on the market but at the top it will say device not supported. The only work around to this I found was to find out what was the latest version and I googled the apk and installed it.
I got a couple of Kindle Fires for my kids, and Installed the Play store. Most apps that I had paid for in the Play store work just fine, but on a few I get this error when launching them. Obviously I'm hoping to avoid having to re-buy apps on the Amazon Market. I'm just wondering if there are some build.prop edits or something that may fix this issue. I realize I could flash a CM10 rom, but I was going to try to keep the kf OS to take advantage of prime, and some exclusive kids apps on the kf. Seems like there are a lot of developers of kids games that are only publishing apps for the kf devices. I'm guessing because kindle fires are a little more kid friendly especially with the new FreeTime feature on the newer versions.
I don't know if there is a work around on the stock os, but what you could do is backup all the kindle apps that you have, and flash cm10 or 10.1. You would need to install Amazon's appstore to use them, but you don't need the kindle-specific version; just the one you can download. There is a thread on here that talks about getting Prime videos working, but I don't know if that would work. There are a ton of apps that will backup apps, but a popular one is titanium backup.

I suppose I can give that a try. I just assume that some of the Kindle fire specific apps like the Dora ABC volume 1 won't work without the Kindle fire OS.
They still work. I can speak from experience. I backed up quite a few kindle-specific apps and they worked.
I guess I can't guarantee their workability, because some might not work, but for the most part, they should work.

I just tried with a couple apps and restored them on my phone. First tried Toca Hair Salon (exclusive kf app), and surprisingly it did work. The other I tried was the Dora ABC volume 1, and that didn't work. It didn't even have the correct icon. The Dora app does use whisper sync game circle, though. So it may be because it depends on those stock apps being present. Do you know if you've tried with any of these kind of apps? I still need to try restoring it on an actual kf running 4.2 and not my phone, but I just tried for a quick test.
I can't tell you about an app like that, but if you up the apk, I will try.

I just installed cm10 on my 2nd kf, restored the Dora app, and it did work. I also tried on my nexus 7 and it worked too. So, the app is not compatible with my phone I guess.
However, I tried a few of the apps that were giving the error message in the title of this thread, and they still give the same error in cm10. So, it seems the error is within the app, but strange multiple apps from different developers have the same message.

Some free ones you can try:
Space Jigsaw Puzzle or any other free app from Wombi. The space jigsaw puzzle is available for free from the Amazon store as well, which that one works on the kf.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.wombi.spacepuzzle
Sight Words Games Lite
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=cz.cfc.androidgp.sightwordslite
Snow white interactive book
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=TheLusca.com.SnowWhite2
The paid Super Why game from the play store also produces this error, but other PBS Kids apps like Daniel Tiger and Fresh Pick do not.

I tried this one. It didn't work at first, but then I changed the manufacturer from Amazon to Google and the model or whatever it is from Amazon Kindle Fire to Nexus 7 all manually. I rebooted, and launched the app and it worked just fine. So there's a work around that I would guess works for all/most apps like this.
-edit-
I just reset the manufacturer to Amazon and it still worked with a "nexus 7" device. But I went back to kindle fire as the device and it didn't work again. I didn't even notice till now, but it changed my signature to nexus 7 while I had that modded.

Big thanks! That does work. I didn't think it would be that simple. For Super Why I had to change both the model and the manufacturer. Now I think all my apps are working. Thanks a lot.
When I was searching out this error, I saw developers discussing this message on a cross-platform development software called Carona. It must be something that it adds automatically depending on the build options. This would explain why different apps have the same error message. I'm guessing all these apps were developed using this software.
Hi,
Last month I rooted my Kindle. I decided to give it to my girlfriend to use but (for obvious reasons deregistered it from my Amazon account). Now after it has been deregistered she is unable to get the apps that i had on there (she has registered her own amazon account). The apps are still on there after a little exploring i did on ES explorer. They will not show up under home>apps where all the other apps are. Root access was not removed from this Kindle but the Superuser icon and Google Play Store icons were (along with the rest of the apps i downloaded from Google Play Store). I can still use the apps if I go into ES Explorer under Tools> App Manager and click on the app it will give me an option to open and it works just fine. I just opened up Google Play Store and downloaded the "Craigslist" app and it shows up under the apps page. It is just very inconvenient to do it this way and I want to know if anyone has any idea what is going on. I am completely lost!
Thank you!
Have u tried using an alternate launcher like go launcher HD? For the record, you can not just simply install alternate launchers from the play store and have them work out of the box, minus the exception of using other ROMs like kinology or cm. You would have to copy installed apk from
/data/app to /system/app and fix its permissions to avoid boot loop. I advise using something like kindle fire first aid or a app called kindle free for it though. Also thought I'd mention if you choose this route and are on amazon is x.4.1 or higher, you won't be able to set the background, I made a fix for that. If you decide to try using an alternate launcher, I'll send u a link to it, word to the wise though, if you choose to use an alternate launcher it is advised to run my wallpaper fix first or your system partition may run out of disk space and be unable to complete the fix. I really need to put my wallpaper fix in my signature... Anyways post back if you would like to try this.
Also thought I'd mention the apps are probably not showing up because of ownership issues, just a guess though, because I tried to run a free app from my mom's kindle 1st gen on mine and it refused to even open saying I didn't own it... Free app... Irony... Anyways that's just a guess, I'd love to test this theory using my moms account on this kindle but I currently have cm 10.1 installed so I can't without reflashing.

Hi,
Thank you for the response! My Kindle is running 8.4.3. I am thinking of just doing a factory reset and re rooting it because i have the program all set up on my computer, just need to re run the program. Then i will have a clean slate to work with. If my logic is correct i should be able to just start from scratch again which is relatively easy compared to finding a new solution. Let me know what you think.
Thank you
I'm confused, wouldn't you still need to login to your account to re download stuff from the cloud causing the problem all over again?

Amazon cloud works great. My girlfriend has her own account and can download any of the apps she wants off of there. The problem is that the icons dont show up for Superuser or Google Play Store. I can still use Superuser but i cannot touch the app icon to go into it but i know its still running because Titanium Backup was asking for its permission. Also when i go into Google Play Store i am able to download apps and have them appear on my kindle apps page but the original Google Play Store is not there so i have to go into ES Explorer to access Google Play (im trying to make it easier for her by having the Icon for Google Play Store on the home app page). I am having issues with Google Play and Superuser (which isnt a big deal that i cant touch the app to open it) but Google Play Store i would like to show up on the main page.

Oh OK I get what your saying now, that is strange, I'm starting to wonder if I misunderstood you from the beginning. Yea if doing a restore still for some weird reason doesn't fix it just use an alternate ui, I kinda don't like the carousel anymore myself after flashing a normal android os on mine, but restoring the os should work.

Hey guys, I am looking for the wwe network apk directly from the fire tv, I have a tronsmart s89-h android box, and cannot get the standard wwe network app to work, I am hoping that this will solve all my issues but i cannot find a way to get the apk anywhere. I would appreciate your help! thanks!
Sorry, I'm just heading off to work, but when I get home, I can pull the apk for you.
Let me guess. The issue you're having is with GPS, right? That was the problem I had before the FireTV version came out

That would be amazing! and Yes i Believe the issue has come down to the device not having any kind of gps, Im assuming the fire tv does not have that check, plus it is much more suited for a tv, (landscape mode!)
Alright, as promised, here's the apk. Current version is 1.0.1
It's basically the same UI as the PS3 app, but I'll admit, it's a little buggy at times.
In any case, enjoy! http://www39.zippyshare.com/v/84400404/file.html
Edit: Well I tried this on a couple of my other devices, and it turns out this has a security check for the Amazon App Store, and you also need to have the app registered to your Amazon account. This may or may not work out for you afterall. I tried, man...

So i was able to purchase/own the wwe network app from the online amazon store despite me not technically having a device it would run on, this box can also install the amazon app store no problem, though it obviously only sees the android wwe network app and not this one.. GOOD NEWS is that the app is working on my account! its def a bit wonky but i am hoping it is some stuff i can fix with some DPI xposed changes or something of the like, thanks so much very appreciated, and def works!!

Well, After some playing around, it isnt exactly usable. First off on the menu there is a about an inch or 2 white space on the bottom and right side of screen, i believe this can be fixed with some kind of dpi mod, but not totally sure. secondly, only the home screen loads images, ie, whats playing now, whats coming up, if u go to pay per views, it is just empty boxes with borders, none of the images load until you get to the actual video description, but you really have no idea what you are clicking. Lastly when playing a video (which does indeed work) with my tronsmart tsm-01 air mote i could not do anything but go back, i could not pause i could not get the menu up. i could not fast forward etc. only could go back. So while it is useable to watch summerslam, with no dvr feature thats really about it. maybe the dpi issue will fix everything who knows, I only played around with it for about 15 minutes as i headed to work, but its hardly worth it right now.
As far as getting the amazon app store. probably used more effort typing in this forum than to just simply google 'android app store' : http://bit.ly/uC6tic
