I am using a TSF Shell and SBD Shell. Question is whence I'm using non stock launchers the kindle app doesn't open, and I cant read books because they obviously aren't displayed. Any fixes. Non Rooted btw.

The Kindle app framework is built into the launcher. The only way to use it otherwise would be to sideload the newest version from Google Play.
Quite frankly, the easiest way to do it is to just have a link to the stock launcher on your homepage on the alternate launcher. It shows up in the app drawer as "launcher" with the kindle logo and you can just tap that and then just click on books like normal. Otherwise I would say root and pop on an ICS ROM
I cannot find the original thread that explained how it was possible to trick the Google Play store into thinking my Kindle Fire device was some other tablet. I am rooted and have the Google Play Store on my device, but unfortunately I still have to do a lot of backing up apps and sideloading from my Razr M rendering the root and Play Store access on my Fire nearly useless. Just wanna be able to trick Google Play into thinking its some other device that will alow me to install more apps. I'm fairly noobish so i'll need somewhat detailed instructions.

It has to due with tweaking the build.prop.......I know twa_priv's cm10/sgt7 ROM thread has a link to a flashable modified build.prop that disguises it as a Galaxy Nexus.......wonder if it works with other ROMs?

Oh you know what, thats where I saw it. I haven't installed his ROM. I wonder if it's possible for use without the custom ROM.

I'm not that knowledgeable to answer that but here is another link that might help if you ever go to a cm7 or cm9 Rom: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=27784658

I am have problems with previously purchased games or apps from Amazon running on a rooted 1st generation Fire? As an example, Angry Birds (Ad Free) previously downloaded from the Amazon Kindle Store crashes on startup. So do the other four of the series. The kindle is rooted with KFU 9.9. I've managed to work around a few other issues, both in Launcher and Kindle, Got Prime Instant Video working fine. Any clues or previous experience? Thanks.

I have another issue with Google Play Store. It halts with a <Sorry> The application Google Play Store (process com.android.vending) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again. - <Force close> dialog box. If I do an uninstall, Google Play Store reverts to Market, which works one time and updates to Google Play Store again. So far, I haven't been able to download any version of Angry Birds from Google Play.
Try installing Google play from this

After I installed Google play and updated Google service, now when I try to open the kindle app it just goes to the home screen (adw)
Is this a known issue?

I have Kindle working just fine on my OTA updated US unlocked Fire phone with Google Play Store reinstalled.
Thanks for confirming.
Mine is not rooted... or I forgot... don't use this phone much.
Anyone knows how can I reinstall it? There's no kindle app on Amazon store. Man Amazon really dropped the ball on whatever android experience they were going for... I might just try to install the one from play store
Ah wait, if yours rooted that means you're on a much older version of fire os. Mine was bought late so I have the last version

Hi, gcbxda. My Fire Phone is not rooted. I moved to 4.6.1 a few days ago. Just a shot in the dark - try clearing cache, etc. Go to settings, applications and parental controls, manage applications, set the filter to all, select Bookstore.

My Unlocked 4.6.1 phone has 2 Amazon kindle icons now. App info says Book store ver. 2.2.2000429100 which opens fine and works, and the 2nd is Amazon Kindle ver. 1.5_1357580710 which does nothing like you described. Weird part is the first one has no name under it.
Mine is the same as your first one. It says Books under the icon. I think this one came with the phone, but it may have been automatically updated in Google Play Store.
aha. yeah. i have two icons as well. in pretty sure i never installed from Google store. it must be how the annoying fire home screen works. somehow it needs those two apps and hide from the user... which other launchers do not do.
