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.

This is my first time ever using a ROM with my Kindle Fire, so sorry if I don't understand some of the directions.
The first time I tried flashing Jandycane my Fire was stuck at the loading screen so I restored it and tried again and that time it worked and loaded Jandycane. The first issue I had was in the settings menu where all of it worked except the Goodies Bag and Themes menus where settings would crash instantly. The second issue was trying to load the kindle app and getting an error that said "Unknown error code during application install: "-24" " which was from the play store, and then I found got apk's from Amazon's store and those would not install but not showing that error. I tried searching through each forum and google but found only the same issues on another forum for the kindle install error, but nothing on the settings crash.
Thanks for your help.
Edit: Ignore this my situation is much worse now

Yea, mines actually still crashing. Have only had this up and running a short while.
Forgive me if this has already been gone over but I cannot seem to find any other discussion about it. I am running the energy ICS rom for my kindle fire and I can no longer run HBO GO since the last play store update.
I uninstalled the play store app and tried to get the app from amazon but it of course says my device is not compatible. I tried side loading an apk for the amazon store version and it does finally launch, but force closes shortly after. I've been trying to find a more updated version of the amazon store HBO GO apk but no luck. I figured maybe if I could get the newest apk that might work. Anyone else with this problem? What am I missing here? Any help would be much appreciated.
You should get gederom.It works with gederom I think.

I'll try that. Is this a nice looking rom like energy? Eh I'll just give it a shot. Can always go back.
No luck on gederom either. HBOGO just says "HBOGO has stopped working" when you try to launch. If you try to do a report you get "Google Play store has stopped responding".
Any other suggestions? I wonder if someone could get the latest apk for HBO go on kindle from the amazon store if that would work. Is there any one that can point me in the direction or maybe somehow rip the latest version apk. The one out for download that I have seen before is outdated and also force closes.
EDIT: Any way to make the Amazon app store think I am running stock kindle fire? I'm just amazed I cannot find anyone else asking about this issue. I can't be the only person with a custom rom kindle fire that wants to use HBOGO can I?
EDIT2: Going to try using IMEI Generator to get amazon app store to let me load the app. Hope this works.

I've been having this issue since they made it official for JB. It ran while I was using twa_priv's JB ROM, but not so much on any other ROM. There's a permissions issue that's causing the app to crash on a lot of JB ROMs, but there's a patch/hack that needs to be applied to it for it to work. It's currently above my smarts range just looking at the coding, but I'm sure one of the devs will figure it out way before I even crack the surface on changing code level permissions.

Well I didn't get Amazon App store to recognize my custom rom Kindle as a stock Kindle, but it didn't matter after all. The following fix makes the Google Play store HBOGO app work again. Credit goes to user diesteldorf for helping me figure this out.
"First, your Kindle Fire has to be rooted but I assume it is. Second, you must have an app called Root Explorer installed.
The file you want to edit is the build.prop file. Go into the Root Explorer app and search for it. It will usually be somewhere in the system directory.
Next you'll want to edit the file. Root Explorer should keep a backup of the original build.prop file but you may want to keep a backup just in case.
Here is a link to what should be the stock build.prop for the Kindle Fire. You'll want to read it using a text editor or MS Office.
Here are the settings you'll be interested in changing:
ro.product.model=Full Android on Blaze or SDP
ro.product.brand=generic
ro.product.name=blaze
ro.product.device=blaze
ro.product.manufacturer=TI
Then Save the changes to the build.prop file and reboot your device."
Once you have done this simply uninstall the HBOGO app from your device if you haven't already and reinstall. Should fire up like normal now.
Once again thank you diesteldorf. I was about to pull my hair out(okay not really).
EDIT: One other thing of note, I actually went back to my backup of energy rom so I am assuming this method should work for any ICS rom but can't be 100% sure of course.
I am having this same problem using hashcodes jb rom. I will give this a try and hopefully this will solve my problem. I need my HBO fix!

The funny thing I found out is doing this fix makes the MAX GO app stop working. I gotta say if someone knows an easy fix that wouldn't interfere with this HBO GO fix i'll take it, but to be honest I really don't care about MAX GO at this point.
Also my feeling is that MAX GO will probably get the same store update that HBO GO got and maybe it will just start working again anyways.

This worked for me on CM9, Android 4.0.3, kernel 2.6.35.7. After editing the build.prop it wasn't working until I rebooted
[EDIT] I totally didn't realize this was my first-ever posting here. I got LOTS of help from XDA-DEV forums on various devices!
I have recently installed CM11 (Kitkat) on my rooted Kindle Fire, coming from
the MoDaco Rom which hadn't been updated in a year or so. Anyway,
the Rom is working fine, except that for some reason I cannot get the
Amazon Appstore (the app from the Amazon Website, not the version
installed on the Kindle Fire) to open. I can download it from the site,
and install it, but when I try to open it, I get the message "Unfortunately,
Appstore has stopped" and it closes down. I tried downloading it a couple
of times, same result. I also tried grabbing a titanium backup that works on my
phone which is also rooted with CM11, putting it in the titanium backup folder on
the KF, and restoring it; same result. I also checked on the Amazon website and
deregistered a couple of devices that are no longer used. Not sure what else to
do now. Before posting this, I looked at other threads relating and tried following
their suggestions, not of them have resolved this situation.
This is a twofold problem; not only can I not open the appstore, but back in the
day when Amazon was giving away a lot of decent apps in their free apps of the
day (instead of now when they are mostly games) I downloaded a lot of apps from
there. Don't wish to pay for them now.
So can anyone suggest how to fix this?
Same issue with the appstore, and also Kindle app
Recently I've also flashed the CM11 (with SGT7 mod i think), and encountered the problem. There are already 2 other guys asked the same thing in that thread. I consulted Amazon, all they can do is deregister the device. I'm not sure what caused it. Maybe need to re flash everything?

I finally got it to open, and the way I did it was that I tried again with the old version of the appstore backed up from TItanium backup, and I this time it ran. I'm not sure what I did differently from before. Anyway, I can open that one; but I cannot update it, when I try to do that, it won't open anymore, and I find I have restore from Titanium again.
I use the method saw in the other thread, " flashing the Like-Nexus-7.zip". then it solved the problem.
but I just have another question , maybe should be another thread. Does any rom for Kindle Fire now has the usb host function?

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.
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?
