[Q] G-Apps on a new JB ROM

First of all, I'd like to thank you all that make this community so valuable to us. I read the forum since I got my KF, around 6 months ago, and all the tutorials are very well detailed.
Today I tried to install a new ROM on my Kindle for the first time. It all went well, and I successfully installed the stock Jelly Bean from Hashcode. But the problem now is: I don't know how to install the GApps on it.
I'm trying to use the ADB and Kindle Fire Utility but it doesn't find the device.
Anyone of you guys could give me a hand with that problem?
Thanks

Are you using twrp? You flash gapps onto it the same way you flash a Rom. Boot into twrp, go to install, locate the directory where you have the gapps.zip file stored and click on it, flash it. Then wipe cache/ and dalvik cache and reboot.

I think the problem is with the adp drivers...I can not find my device so I can restart it with TWRP.

Ok but if you have fire fire fire and twrp installed already you should be able to bout into twrp by pushing the power button repeatedly during startup until it shows you voting into recovery mode.
Make sure you have the correct drivers installed,I believe the kf should show up as composite adb interface device on your pc with the right drivers. Someone else might be able to help you more but really the easiest way to flash gapps is to do it through twrp the exact same way you flash the new Rom minus the system wipe and factory reset.
Your device is a first gen kindle I assume?

Yes, it is a first gen Kindle.
I'm trying to boot to TWRP pressing the power button during startup but either I'm doing it wrong or something went bad after I installed the ROM.
I also tried to install the ADB driver in another computer but after I connect the kindle the PC recognizes it only as "Amazon Kindle Fire", and not the ADB interface.
I don't know what to do. But thanks for your help!

Try using the pc that is recognizing it as a kindle fire, uninstall the kindle fire drivers through device manager and then install the Google adb drivers, then hook the kindle back up to it via usb and see if it shows up correctly then?
Is your boot screen showing kindle fire in blue and white or the stock orange or something else?

The ROM is indeed much better than the stock one on the KF.

This might help: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=36888389

Just to make sure. This kf must be the first generation it doesnt have any camera. And the way i rooted it did not put the yellow triangule. Thanks in advance.

The yellow triangle has been long gone for awhile in reference to the 1st gen (6.3.1)

10.2.3 is NOT the original Kindle Fire.

[Q] Confused, 6.3.2 and 6.3.1

The sticky says I need to look in the KFHD and KF2 forums if I am not 6.3.1 or less.
So again, if your device is NOT running software version 6.3.1 or earlier, you are probably in the wrong place

Ok, so since my device says 6.3.2 I went to the 7" KFHD general forum.
The first sticky I read there says that 1st gen KF devices are 6.3.2 or less.
Devices running a software version of 6.3.2 or earlier is a 1st generation Kindle Fire. All other versions belong to 2nd generation Kindle Fires.

This is conflicting information. Or, am I reading something wrong?
I have a 6.3.2 what thread shows me how to root and flash a nice rom?

Pretty sure you will need a Fastboot Cable see Using Factory/Fastboot Cable to Flash FFF Bootloader and TWRP Recovery
There is a chance that [UTILITY] Kindle Fire Unbrick Utility V1.1 may work but it's unlikely.
or Flashing FFF and TWRP without Fastboot Cable may work

Install Droid Info from app store
Open Droid Info
Look for the Board line
That is the device codename
It will be like ford, Thor, Saturn....
Look for root method for that codename
