We have 2 KF and I would like to root and install gapps. The kids don't want the launcher changed. In all my searches, I find instructions to install a rom and launchers after root. Can I keep the stock kindle launcher and have gapps/play store?

Sure you can.....you can either just root the tablet and install Gapps OR you can flash MoDaCo ROM which is just like the stock UI but has been streamlined for smoother performance. Best bet would be MoDaCo

Even if you didn't want to install a custom rom you could root, install CWM recovery and use UOT kitchen to create the NEXUS S theme.I believe that it will theme stock roms now.
But to be honest root and install a custom rom and turn you phone into a super phone

I am currently running MoDaCo custom rom Gr8 for Kindle fire
I like that I get more apps on google play and other features only MoDaCo has
I do want 6.3.1 for other enhancements like stability and better speed
Rooted stock 6.3.1 doesnt have the features of MoDaCo
Is there any rom that is like MoDaCo that is based on 6.3

You can just root the stock 6.3.1 and then flash gapps and change your build.prop to access more apps.

From what I can see from the MoDaCo Custom ROM the following line was commented out;
Code:
#ro.build.fingerprint=generic/blaze/blaze:2.3.4/GINGERBREAD/6.3.1_user_4107720:user/release-keys
This line was added below,
Code:
ro.build.fingerprint=samsung/GT-P1000/GT-P1000:2.3.3/GINGERBREAD/XXJQ1:user/release-keys
You can copy the build.prop file to your computer and use Notepad++ to change it or you change it on the Fire with Root Explorer. If you do copy it to your computer remember to reset the permissions back after you copied it to the Fire!!
I attached the modded build.prop file, just remove the ".txt.
Ok so I'm running modaco rom now
I transfer the rom found at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1636038 to my sdcard
Then I flash without doing any wipe before I flash
Then I wipe dalvik and cache and reboot
Then I edit my build.prop and reboot
Is that correct

You can also just try the following:
1. Install the 6.3 MoDaCo if you don't have it already
2. While in TWRP, then flash the zip from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1636038
- That adds the 6.3.1 functionality
- This will wipe out root/superuser
3. Wipe both caches and fix permissions
4. Boot
5. Use Kindle Fire Utility (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1399889) to reroot
I've done this successfully without any major problems. You can even flash the latest stock kernel from intersectRaven if you want to update that
- http://intersectraven.euroskank.com/kernels/Kindle Fire/2.6.35.14/20120223_1513/
- Use the one with Stock in the name
Hope that helps.

Fix permissions is under the Advanced menu in TWRP. Probably not strictly necessary, but it doesn't hurt.

If you've already got gr8 installed, then just wiping caches and installing should work fine.

what rom are you running?
if stock then thats your problem, this is deodex so you may need to remove the odex file, but have adb ready, casue if you remove it the launcher will crash and you wont be able to do anything
Soryy i forgot to mention its based on teameos Rom
it should work for any rom, just not stock

Are you guys rooted? Custom recovery?
Or 100% stock?
I ask because if you r 100% stock how do u intend on replacing the .apk and .odex files.
Also if you are rooted how about try to rename the .odex to .back and the stock launcher from .apk to .bak
Just spit ballen ideas here, cause its not likely I will be able to get it odex, too time consuming, and I'd rather spend time adding to the launcher.
if.
Sorry guys

No and here's why,
Widgets are loaded from other system apps, along with Google search, and many other things that are inter graded with the launcher. If you ever used nova at the beginning stages you needed root to include the widgets and what not. And my skill level is not high enough to make a launcher from scratch.

For those wanting to try this on 100% stock no rooted,
Try this.
1)Download and install any third party launcher from the market.
2) open the third party launcher at least once,
3) open settings and go to apps
4) find the stock launcher in the all tab and disable it
5)Reboot
6)Then try to install my launcher
7) report back

Unlock, root, flash ROM, benefit. Or if you dont want to root/unlock, then I would say check out another launcher as they will all give you the landscape and portrait modes. And there are apps out there that will let you rotate your stock launcher without rooting but they do cost $$.

Hey guys,
I have attempted sideloading Holo Launcher many times, and it always force closes. Can anyone help me? I am sideloading by uploading to Dropbox and downloading to my Kindle.

It may be just be incompatible with the stock rom... I tried it on a jb rom and it works fine.

I find that odd, considering that the stock rom is Android 2.3 and the app is compatible with 2.2 and above.
If you move it to system/app on rooted stock it works

Hello,
I recently learned how to root my phone, and am currently learning how to flash a new ROM to it. In my noob-ness I installed gApps before the ROM that I was trying to install and messed up all my google apps...
Is there a thread that is able to fix this in a relatively easy way or does anyone have any advice that may help?
Thanks,
Mofro
