Yes it works.
I am running this on a Motorola Xoom (Not rooted)
You do have to have the Amazon Appstore installed (i installed it prior to installing the RR app)
With the Amazon Appstore installed, I was even able to purchace a 6month subscription. The free version is limited to something like 5 books.
My 5 year old uses it about twice a week.

The great thing about living in Canada is that services always seem to be slow in getting here. One of those services, which I'd really like to have on my new tablet, is Google Books!
I've managed to find a copy of the APK, but it's a phone version. I'm posting here in the hopes that someone might be able to provide a copy of the Honeycomb APK, since it's far better optimized for the tablet screen.
If anyone has this it would be much appreciated!

Thanks, but for some reason it can not be installed. I guess it's only for US region
Indeed! I'm similarly getting the "application not installed error".
I wonder if this is, as gewa mentions, a regional restriction? I'd be surprised as the other versions of Google Books work perfectly on my Xoom, Nexus One and Nexus S.

I've been tryng the same thing from Canada with no luck. Frustrating.
App in the drop box link works for me just fine, live in Europe but have the USA wifi version of Xoom. The only thing is that I had to uninstall the mobile version of google books before I could use this one.
Only problem is that I can only get free books currently...
bwcorvus, thanks for the app
I'm fine if I can only access free books.
Anyone have an apk that I can use to do a straight install? I'm having difficulty unpacking the zip on my Xoom.

If you are rooted and have cwm installed, try this one flashing this one.

Flashed with cwm and apk disappeared. I can see it in system/app but that's it.

Can anyone re-upload the dropbox version? I have a UK Xoom so no Books on there at present, would be good to get the tablet version on there.
Hi All,
Seems like optimum (cablevision) has a app for kindle fire, that can stream cable tv, similar to the app they have for the iphone. It is available for the kindle fire on Amazon. Can someone get the apk, see if the app can be ported to android in general ?

Ok .. found the link https://www.dropbox.com/s/c7ld876le6j5pqy/com.optimum.rdvr.mobile-1.apk
thanks to the kind soul on the Kindle fire forum
App installs fine, and then once I login I get an unsupported device message
can someone please look at this and suggest a fix ? I think getting the right build fingerprint spoof would resolve the issues ??

Works great on my HTC EVO View
This APK works fine on my HTC EVO View 7" tablet.
Correction:
Now I am getting the dialog pop-up saying: "This Application is not supported in this device"
Very strange, since it did work at first and I was watching Two and a half Men.
I also installed it on a Samsung Tab 7 with the same result.
I also did see that the app was asking for superuser permissions.
Hard to believe that it needs a rooted device.
Hopefully someone can shed some light on this.
Addition:
I cleared the data and logged in again, accepting the Terms & Conditions etc.
Then I am good to go again. Wonder for how long?
(This is on the HTC).

ok got this to work on the gtablet ... however had to downgrade from ICS to froyo (beastly-clemsyn) ... same behavior as mentioned in the post above. Need to clear data before every login
There is another discussion going on here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1785945
seems like the app rejects the device if certain build.prop parameters do not match that of the kindle fire

Got it to work on my gtablet, which is running JB (ParanoidAndroid for gtabet: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1966544)
I updated the following in build.prop :
ro.product.brand=Amazon
ro.product.name=Kindle Fire
ro.product.device=Kindle
ro.product.manufacturer=Amazon
ro.build.product=tate
I've got my 8.9 KFHD rooted and installed the Google Play store.
Is there a build.prop edit that will open up the tablet to some of the incompatible apps that won't break stuff like the amazon store, or the kindle reader app?

The only workaround I've found so far is to download them on another device, copy the .apk from /data/app or /system/app and side load it. Dropbox becomes real handy for this sort of thing. Of course, not everyone has the luxury of having a second device . . .
Thanks That's what I've been doing. Thanks to a rooted Nexus 7 and a Galaxy S 3

Never have I felt like such a google fan boy till I got this 7" tablet from amazon.
My SO purchased one during the black friday deal for her mom. It just showed up and I dont know what this thing is. I own a nexus 6 that I have been learning how to flash custom features too, so I understand that concept. But when I got this Fire 7" running I go to install chrome, and nothing? I am out of the loop here. I was told to do what ever it is I do to these smartthings before it leaves for no mans land Ketchikan AK.
I must admit, I am out of the loop with this device, never thought I'd be using one. Thought it would be more similar to lollipop than it is. What do I need to know? I'd like to be able to trouble shoot the device through a remote connection if there is ever a problem.
Running Fire OS 5.1.1.
Looking down at the lock screen... theres ads?
Please ELI5.
Thanks for reading
I don't know if its possible to install the Google play services to use certain Google apps on 5.1.1 you'd have to try it for yourself. I'm OTA blocked on 5.0.1 so I have full Google play store

I just side loaded the play store and it worked fine on 5.1.1
Also you can root 5.1.1 now

It is completely possible... Just download the Google Apps Zip from this link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/amazon-fire/general/installing-google-framework-playstore-t3216122
Then, put the APKs on your fire tablet. Easiest way is to extract, then put on onedrive, then install onedrive on phone and download.
Next, make sure to install in THIS ORDER:
1.) Google Account manager
2.) Google Play Services
3.) Google Services Framework
4.) Google Play Store
There should be one duplicate APK in there. It doesn't matter which one you use, worst case, it will update itself. Hope this works for you like it did for me!

Thanks for the tips! This tablet feels like some odd offspring of iOS and kitkat.

Love the tablet best £50 I've ever spent £35 was a steal black friday

You can use the new, just posted supertool to do everything. Be aware that blocking OTA via the supertool may not currently work on 5.1.1, give them a little time & it will likely be fixed.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/amazon-fire/development/amazon-fire-5th-gen-supertool-root-t3272695/
Do not send off the Fire until OTA is blocked. Failure to block OTA will likely result in amazon undoing anything you've down to the Fire (& potentially locking out future mods) when the next OTA update appears.

Yea, $35, and a little bit of time, it'll be a good buy.

Finding the com.amazon.device.software.ota file in ES explorer with root access and renaming it should be pretty simple after the tool roots it.
Tool updated already anyway
I did the nuke-it-and-make-it-usable upgrade. This is my first, so please forgive me if I don't use the correct terminology. I used FlashFire and uploaded SlimRom, SuperSu, and mini-gapps. It seems most of the apps I try to install says its not compatible with my device. Some apps I know are supposed to be there, don't show up in a search. Also, it kinda leans like it's a phone instead of a tablet. This may be normal, not sure there. Someone smarter than me, feel free to chime in. Am I doing something wrong, or did I miss a step? I used the tool from RootJunky. They gave this forum a lot of props and said you guys are the go-to peeps. I believe I got my files from the mirrors here. Amazon Fire 7", 5.1.1, Thanks in advance...
You pretty much would have to install the APK for each app that you cannot download from the Google Play store, part of the reasoning behind this is because Amazon Fire isn't officially supported by the Google Play Store, thus some apps will be unistallable via the app store.
You can download the APKs here: https://apkpure.com/app?hl=en
All the APKs should work. Just one thing to note would be that in the future, you'd have to reinstall the APK whenever a new update arrives for your app.
Best of luck!

So, in the background its still an Amazon Fire? I guess I just assumed by doing the new ROM, it would get rid of everything Amazon. That's what I get for assuming :laugh:. Thanks!!
Great question and thanks for the answer. This may not be related to the "505 error" but I noticed with apps like "Open Camera" that it says the device is not compatible, and now I know why!

I have since used apkpure and so far all the apps I have searched for has installed and worked pretty much like their supposed to. Thanks again!
Yeah, I had the same problem, particularly with "Google Play." Sadly, my local news channel app is not available there, but a lot of other apps I was having problems with were.
