HOW TO Run Stock Launcher/Original Kindle Fire setup on a Jelly Bean ROM

I think its safe to say that I have searched all over the internet and this forum looking for the answer. How do I get to the Kindle Fire Market and factory setup while I am running a Jelly Bean ROM still. Basically I have Root access and the Project Jandycane ROM running perfectly fine and normal, but I want to know how I can install the factory Kindle Launcher to read books, get on the Amazon Video market and so on since I have a prime account and want to watch movies again. I know I need to run OTARootKeeper to use the video market but where is an APK or something similar to get back to all that and re-register as a "Kindle Fire" when I want to access these options?
Thanks for any help you may offer
Cheers

As fas as I know, the only way to do this is to setup Dual Booting.
I have not done it yet, but I think there are some walk throughs for it.

Did you ever find out how to do this? I want to do it too but, after a lot of searching, have not found an answer other than dual booting but no dual booting 'how to' for the kf. I'm sure I saw a post in passing about someone switching between the stock launcher and another launcher but can't find the thread again. It may not have been on jelly bean but I thought it was. Frustrated I can't find it!!!
Thank you (and all) for any help you may offer!

Instructions for dual-booting can be found here:

So far it is the only known way to do it.

Can you tell me why the kindle launcher won't run? Is it a specific problem or have devs not been interested in it? If it's the latter, is it appropriate to ask a dev to consider working on it?
That is I use twa_priv's cm10. Would it be offensive to ask him to modify his ROM to run the stock apps? (Hope these aren't stupid questions. :8)

Several people have tried to port the launcher and silk browser but have been unsuccessful. I read somewhere around here that someone got it sort of working, but it's only a vague memory in my mind. There hasn't been much talk about it since.

[Q] ICS ROM with least bugs

Even though I already have a nexus 7, I decided to purchase a kindle fire yesterday(2011 version) because it was being sold at a very low price($115). Since the new kindle fire has already been announced, I decided to help the seller out by buying 1(The seller is my friend).
I'm gonna use my kindle fire for my rooting experiments(I'm new to the rooting scene). I was able to successfully do a stock root but I'm thinking of upgrading to a custom ICS rom. Since I'm new to the scene, I'm hoping to get an advice regarding what rom to get. I'm looking for something that has the least bugs. I'm avoiding the Jellybean roms for now.
Thanks!!!

Amazon Kindle App Incompatible with Nexus 7 on JRO03S ROM?

I just installed the Nexus 7 JRO03S ROM on a Nexus 7 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1913562) and reset everything to factory but the Amazon Kindle App v3.6.0.87 doesn't seems to play nice with me. I can open the apps without any problem but when I open a book, it briefly shows "loading" and then the program exit.
No problem opening PDF files with Amazon Kindle however. So I am not sure what is wrong. I tried other books and ALL shows the same issue.
Anybody having this issue?

I guess you are correct, so i have edited the title to prevent future confusion.

Thanks guys. I made some adjustment to my posting and hopefully its clearer now. Basically, I flash the JRO03S ROM on the Nexus 7. Then I install Amazon Kindle App on my Nexus but its not allowing me to read any book. I am not sure what causes the problem. Anyone with JRO03S ROM on Nexus 7 could try it out for me?
- Charles

It has worked fine for me. Might try uninstalling then reinstalling the app.

I agree with reinstalling the app, updates can do funky things. I'm still on the D build so I can't test it, but I can't see why a minor bug fixing/driver update build would break Kindle.

Thanks all. It doesn't work for me. I tried reinstalling the app, resetting the device to factory etc and all doesn't work. I am back to 03D now and its ok. I suspect its the problem with the the firmware that I download. Maybe the official one would be different than the one leaked on the internet

I have a new JRO03S Nexus 7 and I have no issues with Amazon Kindle App.

I had the same problem with a stock ROM that had been prerooted, so I went and downloaded the latest ROM from google and installed that and then rooted it myself - then I could run Amazon Kindle app.
Others who had installed the prerooted ROM said they couldnt run the Kindle app either.

Funny thing is, I am now on JRO03D (not rooted) and Amazon Kindle app will work.
Maybe I need to try to root the JRO03S and root it... Will try later

When some other users brought this up in the thread of this ROM the guy who made the ROM thought it may have been the way he put it together, he said he was going to investigate, but I went back to stock and so lost interest in that thread. I've tried looking for the thread but can't seem to find it, but it was on XDA in the Nexus 7 forum.

kindle fire hd 8.9 unrooted running really slow?

i have a kindle fire hd 8.9 and it started running real slow and freezing up. so i did a factory reset and it still seems to be running stupid? anyone have any idea why that would be? virus? one of my apps? aside from factory reset is there a better way to do a complete reset to the way i bought it?

I also had same kind of problems, please read
Yes, i know... it runs super-slow at times..... i have a cm11.0 (kitkat) based rom installed on my kindle fire hd 8.9!
It now runs superb.... okay, if u want the fire os then u have to root it to get speed.. but if still not then custom rom is the only way....
Don't worry, amazon warranty is not needed, i also never needed it... kindle fire hd 8.9 is superb tablet if unlocked to full potential....
So i have some links for u-
Youtube (best way)- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hUW6KARo8Y4
TWRP 2.6.3.1 (after youtube for installing cm11.0)- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2218802
CM 11.0 things (after youtube if u want)- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2543481&nocache=1
its easy, but never ever sikp even one step or ur kindle fire hd 8.9 is gone, otherwise it is very good and non-buggy!
DON'T WORRY

Clarification question: can this be done with the kindle fire HDX? Any reason that you know of where this would not work?

The hdx has no custom roms yet because the boot loader is locked and we haven't gotten around that yet, also it uses a different method to root it, so in short that tutorial won't work on a hdx, its more likely to brick it.

My 7 HD would run very slow a lot of the time. I downloaded Greenify:root from the play store and side-loaded it. I learned the slowness was always caused by one or more non-kindle services or apps (ones I side-loaded like the google authentication service. Greenify:Root let me force most of them to sleep, which usually solved any slowness immediately. On occasion I had to force the google auth. service to sleep manually, but again the problem always was solved this way. Your kindle has to be rooted to use this great free program.
Good-luck!

Kindle Fire 7" 5th Generation

Hey guys. I have a Kindle Fire 7" tablet, came stock with FireOS 5.1.1
and I have successfully rooted (supertool thx) and flashed a custom ROM (SlimROM LP thx). The issue I am having now, is obtaining mass storage mode. I have tried via terminal, with no avail. Tried all available apps on play store, no avail either. I would really love someone to figure out a solution to this, or assist. Thanks!
