Kindle Fire Amazon app store

I have the Amazon app store that comes preloaded on the kf, but it won't install on cm10. I don't have the Google nexus hack of anything. I was just wondering why it doesn't work, if someone has gotten it to work, or if someone can get it to work.

Here's a link to the app. Sorry I couldn't straight upload.

Do you know why the original doesn't work?

I'll try that and come back with results

I couldn't get past the third line.
Retrying. I put in the wrong directory.

The original probably requires custom amazon libraries that aren't available on cm10. As far as I know, no stock kf software works on custom roms for this reason. I have no issues using the amazon app store apk from amazon's website, though.

There's a system error when launching it.
I put it up on pastebin.

I started and stopped before and after launching, but it looks like there might be some fluff on it too. I used Gemini Live logcat.

Is there something I can look for in the log?

Now apks gotten from Amazon app store work, and the message that "Unfortunately, Appstore had stopped" pops up, where as before I installed it as a system app, it wouldn't run apps pulled from the Amazon store.
Just thought I would say this in case it helps.

Try this it has never failed to work for me on any system or device http://db.tt/MObKmXFE . First uninstall the one you have then install this one, it will prompt to update itself eventually which is fine. If you flash ROMs like I do or you are using it on many devices periodically you must log on to your account and remove excess devices, deregister and reregister. Nothing else needed to get it to work it's just a simple as installing. Good luck.
Edit: don't let it update the recent appstore update doesn't act right just use the one I provided.

It's not a matter of getting Amazon appstore to work for me. I know the others work. I just really want this one because with it you can get kindle specific apps. Does yours let you get kindle specific apps?

I don't know. Not really worth the trouble IMO.

I am willing to slave over this.
But if I can't, how do I uninstall it as a system app?
And thanks for the support!

I get all my stuff from the cloud just fine as far as being kindle specific I don't really care but I would assume they are. It's a piece of cake removing a system app just use root explorer mount system/app r/w and delete the apk from the system/app and then mount r/o and restart. Root unistaller can perform the same task. Just be careful not to remove anything that may be needed to run the system smoothly. Making an app system is done in the reverse order by adding the apk to system/app in a r/w mode. It will install a restart as a system application.

@Urahara
Does your Amazon appstore apk that you posted allow you to install apps with a kindle fire edition?

Even if you installed the original kindle fire appstore, you probably won't be able to install kindle only apps.
The build.prop is different and you need the Amazon framework from the original ROM. The best thing you could do is revert back to stock. Back up the apps, THEN switch to whatever rom you are currently on.

I'm almost certain the Fire TV I installed the play store on did not have unknown sources enabled. I am able to download and install apps just fine. I could be remembering incorrectly, but I'm pretty sure I never enabled unknown sources on this particular Fire TV.

[Q] Installing FIFA15 App Crash

I currently downloaded FIFA 15 with Google Play Store App (using Market Helper) the application launches and then closes. I am wondering if I did something wrong?
Thank you for helping out!

I've found 2 reason why Apps start up and then close. Could be more reasons, I've just found these 2 reasons.
1: The app starts up in portrait mode. Then closes because the AFTV is Landscape mode.
2: Not enough memory. If you reboot your AFTV and then run the app, it might run okay, unless it's a #1 problem.
Could be other reasons, but so far I've found these to be the reason for that behavior.
Which version of FIFA 15 did you try to install? Can I get a link to test?
I went and downloaded the latest FIFA 15 Ultimate Team by EA Sports since it was the last thing released.
And if that is the one you are talking about, no it doesn't like the AFTV for some reason. Same thing happened to me. Runs on my crappy tablet fine.

Thank you so much for verifing that! I wonder if downloading the APK+DATA will let it launch just fine? I am still new to the whole rooting thing so I'll have to research if thats doable and if I can download the data somewhere.

If you just download the apk, it errors out when you run the app, saying it can't download because you haven't paid for your copy. So I had to do the Market Helper trick so I could download it, it downloaded all the data with it, like 1.19GB or something total.

Oh insteresting, out of curiousity can your market helper mimic Amazon Kindle Fire Tablet? My 2.0 version cannot, but the the game is also on Kindle Fire.
I wonder if downloading it and emulating Kindle Fire Tablet it will work since they both technically run FireOS

Fifa15 on Amazon Fire TV
Did you find a way to get Fifa 15 running yet?
Actually that was the big hope for me when I decided for the FireTV..... hope we can run it soon
Edit:
As I just read on ouya-forum, they also couldn't get it run on ouya too: ouyaforum.com/showthread.php?14214-Fifa-15-crashing
Has anybody tried Fifa 14 yet? I think the games are quite similar.....

How to enable location services on Fire TV?

Does anyone know how I can enable location services for Fire TV? I had the NHL Gamecenter app for Android loaded through the Google Play Store and it was working great until the last update. Now when I try to watch a game it says "location services must be enabled to watch games" or something like that. Thanks for any help.

I don't know if this will work, but i did some lookiing and this is what I came up with.
You need this app: https://mega.co.nz/#!h09kwCIC!MoOnw3dDsQcaSiZTI8X6kcZTgwXmF8ECv8dNrzB6J8E (settings.apk)
Note: the settings.apk is from a post in this forum, I couldn't find it, so i just reuploaded the one I have.
In settings, you have to ability to turn location stuff on.
Beyond that, do NOT know if it works or not, as I don't have any location specific services i can test on it.
Let's us know if that works for ya.

So the problem appeared to be initially an issue with my VPN (unblock.us) but after I updated to the latest version of the Gamecentre Android app I still had to enable location services to be able to watch full live games. This did work with the settings app you posted about so thanks for that. If anyone else has the issue you need to enable all three check boxes in the location services setting. Thanks again.

How were you able to check all 3 boxes on the firetv? For some reason I can only check the last checkbox, anything else I click on takes me out of the location services sub-menu.

I didn't do anything special I just clicked all three of the the checkboxes one at a time. I had no issues with it crashing. Sorry I couldn't be more help.

As an alternative, if you have/use xbmc, try the gamecenter addon.

Yes I sideloaded that app onto my Fire TV and launched it and checked the location services boxes and then I was able to watch NHL games again. Are you rooted and what firmware are you using? If you let me know what your set-up is I can try to compare to mine and see if there are any differences? Did you download the app from google play for the Fire TV or sideload it?

Thanks but I get script failed when I try to run it after I installed the latest 0.71 Gamecentre script. Do you have this actually working on your Fire TV? I would like to get this working as the way I have it set up now with the sideloaded Android app isn't ideal because you need the mouse ( or Droidmote) to use it and the apps UI is terrible. Off topic but the NHL app on the Roku is awesome. You can choose to join the game live, start from the beginning and also choose to watch the home/away feed. It would be nice if the Android app had these features too.

I'm on 51.1.02, rooted.

Has anyone else got the settings.apk to work changing the location settings ?
I've tried v4.04 of the settings.apk with one of my FTV's running pre-rooted 51.1.3.0_513011520 and can 'tick' the third (location & google search) but location service and GPS satellites goes back a screen when trying to tick them.
Is there another settings type program or any other way of doing this ?
I want to run NHL and keep getting the issue when trying live streams saying location services needs to be enabled.

I'm on pre-rooted 51.1.3.0 and I got all three of the location settings checked and was able to watch NHL after it initially not working for me.

I was having the same issue as you and all I did was reinstall xposed installer over the top of the one already installed and I was able to tick all options on settings.apk
Works great.

Not sure where I got mine from.
Could you try to uninstall it and reinstalling? Not sure what else relies in it or if you have other modules installed.

Its possible and it is working on tank (Firestick2). You have 2 options but both require unlocking and rooting.
Change the OS to lineage and install the play store....
