Can’t find certain Gameloft games like Asphalt 6: Adrenaline HD, Let’s Golf! 3 HD, Modern Combat 3: Fallen Nation in Android Market on Amazon Kindle Fire? No matter how hard you search in Android Market, they just don’t want to show up. Here is a trick to make them show up. Thanks to enkode in XDA. Basically, you need to modify build.prop file. Fake your Kindle Fire to be Samsung Galaxy Tab GT-P1000 which has similar hardware like same PowerVR SGX540 GPU and screen resolution. I tested on CM7 ROM Kindle Fire. And it really works. Not sure it can work on Android Market on stock Amazon software. Try it out and let me know then. Note – root access is required.
How to enable more Android Market Apps and Games on Kindle Fire?
2 Things that you need to do. Modify build.prop in system folder with ES File Explorer or Root Explorer like below. Do make a backup of build.prop file first. And clear data of Market (Settings – Applications – Manage applications – All tab). Then reboot your Kindle Fire. That’s all.

doesnt work with amazon firmware
I know this is a stupid question, But i back up the Build.prop file on my pc?
Use ES File Explorer to make a copy.
I have a similar issue. I purchased the Plants vs Zombies and Asphalt 6 Adrenaline (Kindle Fire editions) on the Amazon appstore. After rooting and putting the CM9 Kang ROM on it, those apps will no longer show up in the Amazon appstore. It won’t show up in their list of apps or apps that I’ve purchased. Any suggestions?
I’ll give this a try: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1436486 . None of my searching helped at all, but seeing your post about a build.prop started me in the right direction.
Hi Bret, I did not use Amazon Appstore (as it does not support in my region). Maybe it needs official Amazon Kindle Fire ROM to work.
