Accidently deleted kindle app

It was a specific version that I cant find on the amazon appstore.
It recognized my kindle, well being on the android marketplace i updated it and didnt have a backup.
Does anyone have the stock apk for Amazon Kindle App? (before rooting)

No need. I did the same a few days ago. Just go to your Settings and and go to your apps. You have the option to uninstall the update for Kindle but not the app itself. Once you ininstall the update all is well again.

this probably would have worked had I not uninstalled it from titanium backup, I fear I may have to just reinstall the ROM

Rooting, doesn't change the app.
See PM.

You should be able to just use the latest one from the market without any issues.

this is inacurrate, if u update from android market it doesnt detect your device as a kindle fire, in the kindle app, or it didnt detect mine as a fire and it said that "Maximum PC" can only be downloaded by Kindle Fire.
Nobody else may have seen this and I haven't read my PM, rooting my device DIDNT change the app, but rooting it, installing android market, and updating the app changed it, when I got the error of it not detecting my fire I deleted the APP thinking kindle would have a copy of it still, and it removed it.
to fix this I just went to amazons software update page, downloaded 6.2***.bin and put it in my kindle update folder and manually reloaded the rom. Worked like a charm.
Ill see PM and respond accordingly.

check http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1348782&highlight=system+dump It is something like kindleforotter.apk. copy that to /system/app and chmod to 755 or rw-r--r-- if you use root explorer. I had to do the same thing a few weeks ago.

I updated from android market and it's working fine, no problems what-so-ever.

I also did the update from google market and it works. I like it better I can now launch my books from go launcher. No more looking at the stock launcher at all.

Glad to see it's working for you guys, maybe I just had a hickup. I panicked and deleted it and redownloaded the whole app tho too, and thats when I realized it didnt work. Regardless It's running now. Thanks everyone for input.

I know exactly what you're asking, and it boggles me that no one could do you the simple favor of going to /system/app and uploading their version of kindle... Instead offering pointless advice to use the market version, which you clearly pointed out had a limitation you didn't want. I also deleted the original version that came with my kindle or I would have uploaded it for you. I still don't have a copy and would greatly appreciate it if you could do me the favor of uploading it now that you've restored it on your kindle? Thanks in advance!

I too thought it was pretty apparent that's what he was asking for. The market version is substantially different from the default system app.

ive got it to post, but can not hit any of the main places to post up. Any suggestions?

Just download the 6.2 update from amazon and pull it from the update.

sorry to hear that, what was the error message ?
maybe because of the 6.2.2..
you can try to extract the required apk from the update bin i think , or post a new thread in the dev section someone with 6.2.2 could help

It took forever but I did just that and now it's perfect. I immediately put it in my system folder and tibu. I'm so glad that night mare is over. If anyone needs it please msg me and ill send a link.

Google Now for Skyrocket

Has anyone been successful installing Google Now in their Skyrocket? I have tried the directions in every thread and no luck so far. I rooted my phone today just to install it. I would appreciate talking to anyone that has been successful.
Thanks
Mike

In order to help, we are going to need to know what ROM you are running and what method of install you used for starters.

OK im sorry for the lack of info. I will do the best I can as a a noob I might not get all of the the terms right. I have the stock rom. I installed the mikeyxdav7 zip file. When I open google search it brings up google now, I can get cards but nothing with voice. The microphone turns red and pulses and there are square mars below it that usually turns into words but they just stay the same I hope this is what you were looking for. Please bear with me as this is all new to an old guy like me.
Thanks
Mike

Have you done this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=29756226&postcount=2856
I think following that guide exactly should get you where you want to be.
However, I highly recommend SkyICS by seanscreamz, it is a touchwiz based ROM that has a fully tweaked and functional Google Now. The instructions can be a bit confusing on the initial install but once you get it, everything is awesome. (You can even go back to a stock "theme" by flashing the "no vvm no theme" zip.)
I know I didn't give you an exact answer but I would leave my trust in that first post.

Help I broke it
OK I admit it im a noob that has screwed up my skyrocket, or at least all of the google search function while I was trying to get google now installed. I did so many attempts I forgot all of the ways I tried. Is there a way to re-install or repair the google apps or at least the google search to the regular ics settings. Im frustrated and lost. Please help.
Mike

Did you make a nandroid backup before you started flashing zip files? The only answer I can give is that or ODIN.

Getting errors when trying to flash this. Ignore the md5 mismatch, sadly my backup decided to die and now I can get to recovery but stuck there. Hope I can get the rom to flash with help.
Sent from my ADR6400L using xda app-developers app

There is no md5 sum present, so yeah.... Just a signed zip!
The assert is at the top and based off what was in the ATT variant.
If you remove that assert in the updater script, should be fine.
However, those values match what I saw in the build.prop......hmmmmm. I'll have it in the morning for yah!

Glad to see a start
I just ordered a tab 2 and was kind of sad nobody was working on it at all...and saw this post today and jumped for joy and thought "atleast someone is doing some sort of work on it..and this is a great start....did the t-mo version get 4.1 yet? I hope someone kangs an AOSP rom for some 4.2.1 love...(prob to high of a hope) but I'm glad to see this atleast...so atleast i'll have some wiggle room..but saw a poster was having issues..and don't want to get stuck in his shoes..so i'll wait to flash...and or do anything..seen as there is no odin restore stuff or lots of roms that are known to work and stable and the like.....
Thanks for starting the game tho!!!!

Hellation,
That updater script is 100% correct. Had a user PM me.
Your Backup must have failed and/or you flashed something you shouldn't have.
You need to remove the "assert" line in the top of the updater script (unzip /META-INF/com/google/updater-script. Your issue could be that it cannot read itself right now.
Re-zip the whole thing and try again.
You have no readable props right now, or the readable props are wrong...

[Q] ERI/IMEI/Google Play Issues after Flash

I am a Crack Flasher. I've been doing it since the Fascinate. Very experienced. I recently jacked up my phone which obscured my ERI/IMEI/Google Play connection. I was able to manually re-program the IMEI using QPST....... Before, I re-flashed stock MF1. I took it to Verizon and they were skeptical and unhelpful. They said it seemed as if I altered the OS. They had no proof and wouldn't honor the warranty. Play wont work unless a previous OS (before MF1) is installed(?). I get Connection Error. I TRIED EVERYTHING!
I followed the flash to a T.
Not sure which Rom is the culprit.
maybe TK 2.5
ERI Fix????????

Before you go accusing roms of causing your problems, maybe you should read up on how people actually lose their imei and eri in the first place. A simple search for "imei" or "eri" would've accomplished this.
If you did that, you would have been directed to a plethora of threads describing that the s3 can drop their imei randomly even without a flash being a culprit.
Next time you start flashing anything, read up on the device stickies so you know what you're doing and how to fix most problems that come up.
Sorry for the long post, I just can't stand it when people bash a rom for no reason. It wasn't that roms fault for this issue.

[Q] Trying to set up new APN

I am trying to set up a new APN on my Galaxy S after switching providers. I can set up the new APN successfully, but I cannot delete the old one, and it keeps reverting back to it no matter how many times I try to switch it back. There is a disable function, but it doesn't seem to work on the original APN. I can make calls and receive messages, but I cant access web. I called my new provider (Straight Talk/Tracfone) and they said it is because it isn't unlocked. When I called the old provider (T-Mobile) they said if I could receive calls the phone is unlocked.
Thanks for any help!

Are you on the stock gingerbread? I think it pulled that stunt every reboot.

As Champ hints at, you really need to
Confirm that you have a SGH-T959V, not some other "Samsung Galaxy S" phone
Let us know exactly what firmware you are running (often in About phone)
Please remember XDA is primarily a forum for and about development and that there aren't a lot of people that frequent here any more. We'll try to help you as we can, but silence generally means that you've either posed an incomplete question, or nobody has an answer for you.

Read, read, and read again. Lumin30 did a great job in this thread....
Several options (as I see it).
1. Search xda for "super one click root" and run that from a pc.... some have had problems rooting this phone with it though.
2. Read that thread (first couple of pages for sure) & and flash a new kernel that will also give you root. I would recommend byran's subtle... it's linked in the thread.
