Ive tried a few versions but always get application not installed.
Stock/root w/twrp2 working market and other Google apps.

Running into the same problem, are there any other apps that use Gtalk and possibly install?
Gtalk always needs to be moved into the system/app folder using a file program such as Root Explorer, then the permissions need to be set, then you reboot and voila.
In this case, there might be an even easier way: have you checked the market to see if Talk 1.3 installer is availablle for your device? If so, download that and let it do the work
Hope this helps ya.
Note: both methods require root.

oh damn, ok. are you also running rooted stock? maybe Gtalk isn't compatible with the stock framework and you'd have to run a custom ROM, like CM7?

Yep, rooted stock. Got Google Currents and Voice installed, but Talk is being stubborn.
Hmm. I used the Kindle fire Utility to install google apps. It installed almost everything under the sun except google talk. I couldn't find an apk so I grabbed the one from my droid3. I literally dumped it in the download folder, went to it with ES file explorer and hit install and it worked perfectly. I didnt have to move a thing. That was using titanium backup to make the apk on my phone. I take it you didnt install your other google apps with KFU?

Did mine manually, and I can't really remember why, though I did use KFU to install TWRP.
Used the Titanium Backup method, and it worked like a charm. Great success!
Actually, a little weirdness here, it doesn't show up on the app drawer at all. Have to launch using Titanium... surely there's aan easy fix.

On your phone, make a backup of Talk using Titanium Backup. Long press the backup and upload to Dropbox. DL the backup with your KF, and "restore" it using Titanium Backup on your KF.

I made a backup with Tb on my phone. Then I plugged it in to my computer and searched the drive for .apk files. Found the Google talk apk and copied it to my computer then the fire. Browsed to it on the fire with es file explorer and tapped it. Prompted me to install and that was it.

Hi,
We all know already that it is possible to change the wallpaper and making is fixed by changing the file permission of:
"data/data/com.android.settings/files/wallpaper" to read only on a rooted KF.
What I was thinking is, we can make an application with root access that can
set the file permission change the wallpaper and then re-change the file permission back to read only.
Is this type of app exist already or i should go and start working on that?
Regards,
LaBBa.
just do it.

You cannot run Google Play without root permissions because it will only run as a system app with the proper permissions which you need root to modify. As far as warranty goes, you can restore a rooted kindle fire to stock and remove any proof of the fact that it has ever been rooted by following one of the guides to return to stock.
I used to have my KF completely bricked after running ICS and different ROMs on it and so forth and recently sent it back to Amazon for ghosting. After having restored it to stock and doing a factory reset, it couldn't be differentiated from one that was brand new out of the box.
Thanks but I still think there's got to be a way to mod Google play because I have 1 mobile and it works flawlessly, so I guess ill try to mod it

No, there is not a way to do it without root permission. You have to have root access to move to system/apk and change permissions.

I appreciate your drive and willingness to try but the reason it won't work is because even if you were to find a way to get the app to run without being run from system/app you will still not be able to use it to install apps. The way it was designed to integrate with android is to contact google's servers and directly install the app to your device using its own permissions derived from it being a system app. If it doesn't have those permissions it won't know what to do and will crash. It cannot just download the app to a folder like 1mobile does. I understand that you want to use google play without rooting, I tried to do it too before I eventually gave in and rooted, but trust me you will be much happier with the device when you have root permissions. If you decide to stay with the stock amazon version of android I would recommend trying modaco's rooted stock ROM which comes with google play already installed, it will not only save you the trouble of having to attempt to install the app yourself (which is actually more of a hassle than you would think) but it also has better stability than stock does and you don't have to worry about amazon upgrading you overnight without your permission and you losing root.

I rooted my Kindlle Fire, got it to Jelly Bean, and I can install everything just fine. Netflix works great, youtube, everything.
But every time I try to install the Amazon Appstore it just says "App not installed"
Every time I try to install the Kindle App it gives me an error code "-24" that Google has never seen before
Any idea what I could do to fix this? All I really need is the Kindle App so I can read my books again
Are you trying to install the apps from the Play Store ? I installed them from Play Store & had no issues.

I tried sideloading the Amazon Apps for Android too and that didn't work either.

Do a full wipe minus your SD card reflash ROM reflash gapps reboot enjoy

How do you get the .apk for the Amazon Appstore?
I want to play Order & Chaos but it doesn't work my jb-4.2-kfire-hashcode-12-18 ROM, it gets to the title screen then crashes back to desktop.
Here it is. Just flash it on recovery.
I Give credit to entaled for this.
I just flashed it from teamwin and it said successful but on reboot it still tells me its a kindle fire in about tablet.

I've tried it many times now and it still boots up as an Amazon Kindle Fire in the About Tablet section and Order & Chaos still won't boot. When I had ICS on it I used a Droid3 build.prop and was able to play the game but being a phone it kinda messed some stuff up on my tablet. That is why I thought the Nexus 7 would be perfect for it. I am running the latest stock jelly bean ROM.
Anyone help me?

Change your build.prop file manually. Use ES File Explorer, and change the settings so that you can browse up to root, and modify the system folder. Then look for a premodded build.prop online, or make your own.
