So, those of you in the NYC area who use Optimum/Cablevision as their ISP may have received an email to download the Optimum App for Kindle Fire which allows you to stream live TV onto your Kindle if you're connected to your home WiFi. They've had apps like this on iOS for a while and they FINALLY released an app for the Kindle Fire.
I managed to download the apk off my sister's Kindle Fire, and it installs fine on the Xoom (ICS stock, rooted). Of course, it asks for root access which you MUST deny, otherwise it won't let you stream. But then as soon as you authenticate into the app, you get a notice that says "Device not supported."
I imagine there must be a way to spoof the app into thinking it's on a kindle fire. Any ideas? I'm happy to share the apk: http://goo.gl/SfLKz
Thanks!

I hope so. I have a nexus 7 and it will be awesome to have this app.
I wouldn't mind trying but wouldn't even know what the correct settings would be nor where to implement them. If you have any suggestions or insights, I'm happy to give it a shot...

So i have a kindle fire hd 7 and i am trying to use the screencast app. (I do have a rooted kindle fire hd) so whenever i record it seems to work fine,
But whenever i go to watch it it has a black screen with my audio (it never shows my screen). Well i went around looking for a way to fix the problem and androidcowboy helped me out and said that i need to disable Hardware overlays. Someone please tell me how to do that from the
Kindle fire hd 7! Thank you.
I Got The Same Problem!
Ya, I Got the Same Problem. Anyone Got Any Fixes? If Then That Would Be Great

Having root does not give the developers option, it just gives you root. The developers option, for KFHD users, is attainable only through a custom rom. Whether a particular rom is screencast compatible is hit or miss.

So my plan is to immediately put the CM10.1 on this tablet.
I mainly watch movies, read books, browse the web, and play a few games. But not too many games.
Will this tablet give me great performance in general? Or is it going to be limited? What kind of snappiness do you guys have with yours?
For what you will be using for the tablet performance should be perfect with room to spare. The Nook HD+ is a pretty solid tablet, only problems I've encountered are some minor touch sensitivity issues and a little bit of lag here and there but with some tweaking and customization it works pretty well.
Had mine since Wednesday. Great for watching TV/movies (avi/mp4).
Good for reading the web.
Great for comics.
Not got around to reading via the Kindle app.
Plays music fine.
Really enjoying it, but just like previous poster some touch sensitivity issues.
Well, I guess I will just need to try it for a bit and see if I am happy with it.
Hey I noticed that with it stock there are "incompatible" apps from the play store. Fandango for instance. If I put CM on it, am I still limited or is the buildprop edited so we can actually download these apps

No, most that say incompatible will still be incompatible on CM10.1. Your option is to download on another device, transfer the apk to the HD+, enable unknown sources on CM10.1 and install them. They usually run.

Actually, I just did CM to mine. My benchmark before was around 9000, with CM it went to over 10000.
And I found that several 'incompatible' apps became compatible. MLB At Bat works (only for radio, TV can't find my location). Also, a widgets app, iheart radio, and a couple others suddenly became compatible as well. But as they say, your mileage may vary. Of all the apps I have, the only one that is still incompatible is the Nook app... go figure! :laugh:
I can careless about the nook app. I honestly don't read much. I really bought this just because I got it so cheap

For reading of pdf books I suggest OrionReader, simple and smooth as hell.
For video MxPlayer could handle 720p animes on hd+
Really satisfied with the hd+, definitely a bargain to me
I am so glad you mentioned OrionReader. I use my Nook for reading music scores while playing piano and couldn't find an app that moved fast enough while turning the pages. Now I'm all set!

You're welcome Another good thing about it is you can customize behaviours for different tap zones, very convenient
I got a samsung smart tv and would love to somehow get the allshare on the tv to work with my nook hd. As far as i know though allshare is only available on samsung smartphones n such. There has to be a way to get it to work though.
Anyone able to help?

Couldnt find a way to edit in app without it saying "not responding"
Anyways..
Allshare is on google play but what i am really trying to acomplish is the screen mirror if someone can help there

I''ve been poking at it but so far I haven't been able to figure out a way to make it work. I grabbed the deodexed dlna.apk from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=824953
Not only did I fail at getting it to work for my Nook HD+, I even fail to get it working on my captivate, Honestly, I'm probably am no good at tinkering with code in the first place.
I'd be thrilled if someone could shed some light on this, my galaxy tab was stolen so now I'm sitting on a useless allshare cast unless I can get my nook or my captivate to work. Preferably the nook since my phone is due for a replacement soon since it's starting to show it's age on running apps at a decent speed.
I have IOAP Update 02/12/2014 on my 7" Fire HD and the new Amazon Music app stops working as soon as it tries to load. Ditto for any of the Kindle Reader app updates since February. Before I switch to another ROM (I really want to use the Music app) I wanted to see if others have it working on different ROMs. Thanks!
