When I boot up my 7" kindle fire hdx by pressing power and holding the down key, it boots into safe mode. What is safe mode and what is it used for?
It is so you can fix problems in your system without using Google play or amazon appstore apps send a virus.

Not true. It just disables all third-party apps and is common in many systems.

Yep like if you get a faulty launcher that freezes at boot you can stop it and uninstall it
my kindle fire hd 7" is stuck in safe mode

I need someone with an Android phone to use Titanium Backup and back up Appredeem. I have a kindle fire but that app isnt supported. I have been told if I get the 3 backup files for the app then I can restore it with the data and it will work. I dont have an Android phone so I can't do it myself. If someone is willing to do the backup and send me the files just post here or pm me and I will give you my email. The app is free so this isn't piracy!

Here is the apk for this app. http://db.tt/uaEKGNu2 this way is much easier than using a tibu backup. Just install the apk.

I appreciate it, but that doesn't fix the issue. I can install the app from the market, it just doesn't work when I open it on my Kindle Fire running CM7. I need someone to install i ton their phone then back up the app/data. Then when I restore it on my Kindle Fire with the app and data it will think that my Kindle Fire is an Android phone and allow me to open it.
When I had my previous phone, there was a list floating around that had all the bloatware from the stock ROM that were safe to freeze/remove. I did not see a list for our phones so I thought I would put together one. Below is what I have frozen safely with Titanium Backup. Please feel free to add to the list as I am sure there are more apps that are safe to freeze/remove and I will include it below. These are just what I have frozen on mine and have not had any problems or force closes.
Please note: you would need to be rooted in order to freeze some of these system apps.

Can anyone confirm that this list is safe? I already had to restore from a brick.

Yes it is safe. I'm on stock with my bootloader unlocked and I uninstalled the apps I didn't want. Some att and kindle apps were in a separate folder but I managed to uninstall them as well.

Does unlocking the boot loader stop the security error?

I bricked mine ("security error") by freezing Google Play Movies. There's another forum where others are saying that Google Play Books might also be dangerous to freeze.

I think there's some variance depending on which version of Jelly Bean you're using. Supposedly 4.1.2 v20j may allow for more freezing. I think I was using v10x when I ran into the "security error." As I've mentioned, others have reported running into this same security error problem by removing Play Movies and Books. I still wouldn't label this list as "safe." At least some people are running into problems.

I think people that are having issues might just have a rooted phone only. To avoid the security issue they still need to unlock the bootloader.
I could be wrong tho, but it seems likely.

I'm currently using this launcher and it fits great on the kindle fire HD. I had came from Apex to this and it felt really smooth. So I highly recommend installing this, in order to install you put it into the /system/app folder and reboot. (Or use the kindle free app)
Here's the app

with kinology only install this and you have it
I dont have kinology, my computer won't recognize the kindle fire in adb devices so I can't get the Rom. But thanks for the clarification.

first, thanks a lot!
then, what did you mean with "its a system app"?
[Edit]
Doesn't work.
If I tap on the apk, it warns me that it will replace the installed one, I choose "OK", than the installation starts but after a while fails with just a "application not installed", no other error message.
or you can uninstall the upgrade form the playstore app on my apps

The version you want is designed to work ONLY on the kindle fire itself; it won't operate on other devices.
I suggest "moon reader", it's actually better imo

Trust me, you're better off. Kindle is the "best known about" reading app, but it actually lacks a lot that others have to offer. Try checking out a few different ones, they've come a long way to compete

I have about 760 documents in my Kindle account, and I'm used to read ebook on different devices, and I like the kindle app on my iPad.
The android version is so bad... But I'm "bind" to my Kindle account, so...
Sorry i couldn't help you, since you are rooted, you can install custom recovery and download one of the official amazon roms from hashcode (pre rooted i think)

Why is it 'bad' to use the Google Play one?
Ok, it has less features and all, but apart from that its working just fine here.
Is there a way to get the 'stock' apk??
Thanks

You could do one out of three things
A.uninstall the google play update in settings(easiest )
B.reinstall the o.s.(okay)
C. Extract the apk out of a downloaded rom(harder)

Speaking of the Kindle App...
So I rooted my wife's KFHD. I installed Nova Launcher, everything works like she wants except the actual "Kindle app that shows up in the app drawer after a home launcher is installed. When tapped to open it, it does nothing. The only way I can get around that is to tap the Kindle "Home" icon which takes you back to Amazon's hideous Launcher, then tap on "Books" to access available books and the Store. Does anyone know if it is possible to get the Kindle app to act normal? I thought I had solved this problem when I installed the Google version of the Kindle app over it and it worked, but I remembered it's not the best idea to do this and if I remember correctly, it only works until the next time the KFHD is rebooted. After the reboot the Kindle app in the Nova Launcher app drawer becomes useless..Any help would be appreciated.
Hi, I'm new to kindle fire, got mine rooted yesterday (towelroot) + xposed + Play store.
Wonderful tablet, faster and smooth.
But I like the Google home, back and search buttons.
Is there a way to replace it?

You'd need to flash ggow's HDX Nexus ROM for that.

Try Auto Hide Soft Keys from the play store.
