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.

Hey all,
Been using the forum resources for a while and try to avoid asking any questions as most have been asked but couldn't find an answer to this issue so here goes.
I have the Hellfire ROM installed on a original Kindle Fire - Works great, very nice ROM. Only issue I have is the Kindle app will not open. It is installed but when I open the app it tries to open but then closes and a message appears saying "Unfortunately, Amazon Kindle has stopped"
Has anyone else experienced this issue? Any fix you know of?
Thanks for any replies.
Sounds like the same problem described in the thread "[Q] Kindle App on 4.4 ROM stopped working". The solution listed by CKLASS worked for me. Download Build.prop from Google Play Store and use it to change the ro.product.manufacturer line from Amazon to Samsung.
Merry Xmas to all
My Kindle Fire 1st Generation is rooted and now boasting JB 4.4 ROM. Everything worked perfectly until last night when Kindle App stopped working ("Unfortunately, Amazon Kindle has stoped" message). I have tried to reinstall the ROM, wipe the cache and dalvik, install 4.4.2 ROM, downgrade to 4.3 ROM and nothing has worked. Everything else is working fine.
Any ideas or similar experiences?
Cheers everybody.

Yes, I had the same problem, but I was able to get it to work by downloading Build.prop Editor from the Play store and using it to change the ro.product.manufacturer line from Amazon to Samsung. I'm guessing Amazon intentionally stop their non-stock apps from working on Amazon devices to avoid people using non-stock apps by mistake, but hopefully changing this workaround will work for you.

I, too, had the same problem, and your fix with Build.prop editor worked for me! Thanks, thanks, thanks.
There is also a "change to nexus7" zip file in the cm11 thread that probably does the same thing. This is nice because you just add it into the rom/gapps flash. The cm11 rom was the last one I tried to fix this issue before I found "the fix". Now I have to go back and setup HellFire because I haven't found a way to remove the lock screen in CM11.

It turns our non working Kindle app was the least of the problems I had. Shortly after that problem I started getting message SystemUI stopped working and then the screen would flash. 5 or 6 reinstallments, full wipes and the likes later I realised that the ROM was the culprit as after installing HellKat 4.4.2, problem seems to be gone. As for Kindle App, I think problem was latest update which was not compatible with 4.4. I stopped the app from getting new updates and its working for now. Had a glance in quite few Kindle related forums and its seems people agree with that as so many complained of app stoping after getting the update.
As for now, Kindle Fire is happily running HellKat 4.4.2 with lovely red theme. We will see how it goes.

So I just installed CM 10.1.3 and now my kindle app, amazon mp3 app and HBO go apps all crash. I had previously changed the build.prob file to enable access the HBO go, but the amazon apps always worked fine. I just tried to edit build.prob andi I keep getting told that the file is read only. I have tried root explorer and file expert. Any ideas?

Hi guys. Kindle 8.9 HD non-LTE. Today I flashed LiquidSmooth 3.2 (and Liquid_gapps build 8.1) over CM11, then did full wipe/reset. Overall the ROM is great, seems much smoother than CM11, but two potential dealbreakers:
1. Youtube doesn't work at all. Says connection to server lost. I've seen some suggestions to try Cposed module, but doesn't seem many people have had success.
2. Google Now doesn't work. It says Network error whenever I try to open. I tried to uninstall all updates and install the google app clean, no luck.
Any thoughts/help on either? Thanks.
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!

What OS are you running? There's an unresolved issue with 5.x+ ROMs where YouTube playback stops working after a certain time. If it's a deal breaker, you could try reverting to CM11 (KitKat).

As said earlier, it's a known issue present since the first CM12 builds. If you'd be willing to get a logcat as soon as you next get the error, either Hashcode or @transi1 would likely be willing to debug.
I'm presuming you're familiar with enabling adb, making sure it's installed and working on your PC (wirh the Kindle drivers if you're running Windows), and dumping a logcat output to a file.

The CM13 ROMs are based off of the CM12 device code, so any unresolved issues will still be present (like this issue afflicting YouTube playback). I think you could try to bypass that by opening YT urls in a browser app instead of YT's dedicated app.
