NOTE: This does require that you purchase the game on the market first
1. Install Chrome and get the extension APK Downloader found here
http://codekiem.com/2012/02/24/apk-downloader/
2. Transfer APK to phone
3. Install and open app and it should recognize the device and download required files
Will add more games to the list as tested
Tested on:
Asphalt 6 Adrenaline HD
Not Working:
Backstab HD
What if we already paid for an app that doesnt work with the vivid. How do we get it on the vivid?

The method mentioned above works for some is because those apps actually do work for the Vivid, just that the developer may have not updated the compatibility list. But if the app is actually not compatible, then there really isn't any way to make it happen besides sending a request to app developer for adding support.
Its asphalt 6 which I thought this extension worked for. If not I shall wait for it to become compatible.

Yeah I tried it on Asphalt and it did work. This is the only work around I know of that can get you the official working game legitimately.

Hey guys, just a little input. I haven't tried any of my gameloft games on the Vivid, I did notice they didn't show up in the market. I had the same issue with my HTC flyer tablet. All you have to do is e-mail Gameloft and tell them the issue and they'll e-mail you a direct download link to the game.
I got Gameloft to email me a "working" version of asphalt 6. It plays fine and runs fluid. Problem is, there is some horrible graphic glitches. Instead of rendering smoke, light beams or pretty much anything translucent, it renders the bounding box. On a few tracks where there is fog or sun burst, the game is nearly unplayable.

I got the apk installer working no problems. Works for free games, but not my purchased games. I go to Asphalt 6 and the button to download the apk doesn't show but if I go to the free version, it shows. Did ya'll get it to work on any paid games and if so, how?

Yes, It seems that Google now lets you use the Movie/TV app while Rooted.
I haven't bought anything else, but Transformers plays fine on my rooted Nexus 7.
Plays fine for me.
Sent from my secret spaceship
Does anyone buy or rent new Movie/TV from Play Store?
After you bought, can you play video?
My rooted Xperia Play cannot play video, so my Nexus 7 does not root.
I'm pretty sure you can play movies /w root because of the encryption scheme in jellybean. I'm guessing that the actual videos get encrypted as app data. Root or no root, I doubt they can be copied off the device and played.
Honestly, I have a lot of respect for google in this regard....they are the only company that has figured out a way to allow users to tinker with their devices and still uphold whatever the copyright holders and developers want...don't get me wrong though, i HATE drm. Google is awesome for figuring out a solution that makes both sides happy.
I bought the season of Breaking Bad since rooting my Nexus7.No problems with purchase or playing it.Transformers plays great just as before rooting.I am stock JB except for the rooting process.
Yes you can use the Movies/TV app now.. i just bought a TV Ep the other day and it streamed just fine from the cloud.. i don't know about on my Gnex or other rooted devices
EDIT: Looks like its still not working on other devices.. just tried watching the same episode i bought on my Nexus 7 on my gnex and it kept saying " can't fetch license 901"

That's interesting. I wonder if it's actually a hardware thing after all? Well for other devices you can just use the Temp Unroot feature in the Superuser app. I've been testing this feature and it's worked flawlessly. Flixster streams Movies fine when enabled and so does Google Movies on my other devices.

Not talking about OTA Root Keeper. Temp Unroot is a separate feature in the Superuser app.

Thanks. I'm rooting now.
Been trying for about two days to get this working, was really annoying me that when i got the nexus 7, i could not use i player.
So here it is for the others that are having problems with it.
Install the two apk's attached.
If you have been trying to get it working with other versions of iplayer and flash, please go into app manager and clear the cache and data of these apps before opening them.
go to apps and launch i player and enjoy.
No need to use other browsers now.
just installed those files, working well. thanks.
Nice one cheers

I have installed BBC iPlayer and flash player and cleared the data like you said but when I open BBC iplayer chrome opens up and says I ned to update flash. What should I do thank you
Simple indeed but The picture quality is a bit crud with this method _ if u install flash and Firefox or dolphin mini and set to desktop user agent you can just go to the iPlayer website and select and the stream adjusts to your bandwidth and you can view the HD streams too! You have to put up with the flakiness of flash in a browser but you can still watch in glorious techno vision.

Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
Edited: I meant to say use the Firefox beta from play and then set request desktop - then go to normal iPlayer website.
So far is most stable way to get high quality viewing and HD options. HD stuff looks awesome - other versions just look poo in comparison.
If u want to show someone iPlayer on N7 then the above is the easiest and best imo

Funny thing that, im no expert here, but when i wiped the Nexus and re installed the i player and flash as i said above, i got the same thing. Perhaps someone with more knowledge could explain. But also i Rooted the device and set the dpi to 160 for tabley mode before i installed. Maybe that has something to do with it.

I installed Firefox Beta from the play store, it works if before going to the iplayer site you set it to Desktop mode.

That's because here in the UK we pay a hefty licence fee for the privilege.

In the exact same position as you. Thought I'd be clever and just pull it from Amazon's update, but they didn't include the updated APK for whatever reason.
I have 2 kindles that are on wifi all day long and neither one has received it.

Problem is solved! I downloaded the firmware from the amazon page, added the extension ".zip", opened it and took the amazonmp3_unsigned.apk from system/app folder and copied it to my kindle fire HD and replaced the apk on it.
Now all works like expected
Thank you but that doesn't help those of us who are trying to get the Prime streaming app which is different from the Mp3 app.

Did you even go to the link I posted? No you didn't or you would not still be looking. MP3 has been completely replaced by Prime Music. Amazon MP3 as a stand alone app has ceased to exist. It may say MP3 in the link but the apk is Amazon Prime streaming app.
Edit: The apk from 1mobile and the Play Store are both 4.0.3. Both are as current as it gets.

Yes I have. The Amazon apk is not Kindle exclusive. It's the same as the Play Store only the Play Store apk is one update up on Amazon app store. The app has had some issues for some with most recent update for some.

You also could have just hit the uninstall updates option on the app page in the Play Store.

Omg, the APK for the Kindle Fire IS different from the generic Android APK. The have the same identifier name but they are different. Different file sizes, different UI. Different.The Amazon Kindle reader app used to have the same problem, if you are running the Kindle's own OS (or Kinology) and you updated the app through the play store it would break functionality, because they're different APKs. This is well documented.
