Uh....yeah....Kindle and no books

Since I rooted my Fire I seem to have lost my books and can't seem to fond them anywhere. This is on the Kindle Launcher. And also Twitter closes unexpectedly all the time. Main question here though is how to get my books back in the Kindle Launcher.

Fixed, just completely unrooted my Fire. I still have GameBoid so it's all good.

You couldve just downloaded the kindle app from amazon and all your books are there, including where you left off.

Yeah, but it's not the same. I bought the Fire over other tablets for the Fire, not the app, I have my phone for that.

Actually that is not true..the kindle app for android screws with your subscription deliveries for Mag's and books. What I did was after root I immediately put root keeper on there and unrooted .. that will help.
When I lost my subset I went into the system > apps folder and reinstalled kindle for otter. Then I ramln a sync and I was downloading my suns again.
My wife bought some subset and books when we first got the kindle fire but when those expire I am going full ice and Ak going to get books and Mags thrum play or Barnes and noble's app and ditch amazon altogether

Good advice here ... thanks. A friend came to me with his KF today saying his books would no longer open (nor did they show a book jacket/title). His KF is/was rooted, but running stock ROM. Found your post and had his books up and running in no time.
Lol dayum! I have since turned my autocorrect OFF...
Heh.. i got that answer from another here by the name of straylight so i must give credit where credit is due but yw
Peace

No port found? I'm guessing your router isn't configured correctly.

I use both on my Kindle and they both work. I did have to run the tun.ko installer before either would work. Even though the tun module is already installed the vpns wouldn't work till I ran the installer.

Help getting xbmc torrent working...

So I have a fire stick (I know, not a fire tv.. I will upgrade if needed) but when I install xbmc torrent I get a "script failed xbmc torrent". I'm using Kodi I believe RC1. I installed xbmc on my pc and it worked flawlessly.
I am in the USA. I did set the download folder to use the internal memory which is about 4gb free. But again , the plugin won't even load... Any ideas ? Also if I do need a fire tv, will I have similar issues ? Thanks

60fps video codec support.
That, and the app is very lightweight (being only 13MB in size), and doesn't require a browser to be installed.

Also Alexa support (I also heard Google home support but that can't be right)
I want the apk too.
Wont wait months for my FireTV (sloane).
Any word on this?
+1 Surely someone has backed up the APK and can share it. I'd hate to have to wait months for alexa search.
Youtube v1.110.0 (Google) extracted from Fire TV Stick 4K.
Once sideloaded, you may need to restart your device in order to see it on the main menu.
Works perfectly on both my Fire TV 1 & 2 boxes
Is this the only version released? I tested youtube on the day when it was released and it was playing my purchased movies in 5.1. Today it is only stereo. Wondering if they released update that changed this and wanted to try the original relaes from the day.
Do you have it by any chance?

How did you extract it?
I tried last night with adb to extract from my gen2 stick so I can sideload to my gen2 box.
Couldn't get it to extract.
Would like to learn how to do it since I have access to it (after every update). Thank you

Still haven't figured out what is the big deal about this release

Or just install TotalCommander from the amazon store, and copy the apk from "Installed aplications" folder to an USB Drive

Many thanks.

For anyone needing a easier method to backup or install, you can install apps2fire from playstore on phone and fully automate sideloading and installing.
