[Q] Location services not working on rooted Kindle - 8.9" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have asked this before without a definite answer, so if anyone can help, t it would be highly appreciated.
I have a rooted Kindle HD 8.9 running 8.1.3.
Google maps says location is not available
However, when using Opera, then location is found.
Anyone have any ideas why this happens and how to fix it ?
Many thanks

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.

This might be what your talking about http://gigaom.com/mobile/so-i-turned-my-galaxy-tab-into-a-kindle-fire/
My only interest is the digital magazine feature that comes with the kindle fire. Zinio doesn't offer all of the content I like to read

Hi team,
I am new for the Android system. Just successfully Rooted it last weekend. But found out, I am still not able to sign in Youtube.

Do you have any suggestion to solve this issue?
My firmware is 8.4.3
Thank you in advance.

[Q] Kindle App won't open

Hi,
I installed twa_priv's most recent update - [ROM] [4.4.2] CM11.0/SGT7 for the Kindle Fire [20131215] - and everything seems to be running fine, except the Amazon Kindle app continually crashed whenever I try and open it. I've uninstalled and reinstalled the app, as well as reflashed the ROM but the problem persists. Anyone else encountered this, or figured out a solution? Is it possible that the Kindle app doesn't yet support KitKat? thanks much in advance.

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!
