[Q] anybody have the new netflix app working?

Downloaded and installed fine on the G-tabrunning vegan-tab 5.1, but then popups keep saying it doesn't support this device every time I actually try to play something. Crap, the hardware should easily be able to run streaming hd video. Hope one of the XDA developers can fix this...

Tried the build.prop fix from nook color forums....no longer get compatible message but it bombs out when u try to play.

All indications are this won't run on Froyo. Anybody running a GB ROM getting Netflix working yet?

It runs and streams content just fine on my stock Incredible running 2.2. And I have the app running on my gTab which is on Vegan 5.1.1, I just can't stream anything. I think its just a matter of Netflix only allowing a certain devices to access their servers and our tablet is not on the list (which is only 5 devices long at the moment).

Sorry for the double post, but I found this fix quoted from Android Police in the Incredible section:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=13738814&postcount=44
I don't know if it will work on our tablets but it changes the build.prop file to make the device report itself as a HTC G2.

No love with modified prop

No problem. I literally just a few minutes ago got the market working properly on my tablet by modifying the build.prop and I really don't want to mess with that file anymore unless I have to. I want to keep my market working.
But thanks for trying that. I figured it was worth a shot. Someone hopefully will eventually find a work around.

Working great on the Droid x! No luck on the gtab. Running overclocked,on 2.2.

Fortunately, my Nexus One is supported. Works fantastic on that. A buddy has the newest MyTouch, won't let him even install it to that. However, both of our Vegan 5.1.1 Gtabs let us install, no go on playing, gives the popup.
Of course, it works on my 3.7" display device, but not on my 10" display... BOO!

Netflix running on my G Tablet
My G-Tablet is running CM 7.0.3 with Pershoot's 2.6.32.39 CM7 Kernel
I sideloaded the Netflix App then moved it to the SD card.
I am running the 10.3 update of Adobe Flash Player (not sure if this is relevant)
I modified 2 lines in my /system/build.prop file as follows
ro.product.model=HTC Vision
ro.product.manufacturer=HTC
REBOOT
Netflix is running smoothly on my G Tablet now.
This is a combination of fixes found in other device forums here on XDA.
I hope this helps!

I tried this on mine. Running Vegan-tab GE with standard kernel. Dumps me back to the queue. I wonder if there's something else I need to change in build.prop?

+1 on editing the build.prop... i can confirm it works... From what i'm reading around on other forums this is only working on gingerbread roms, if at all.. so if your still on a froyo base rom you may not wanna chance screwing up the tablet...
As far as editing it i used File Expert.. turned on the root functions in the app settings... then found the system folder checked it's box hit Menu->More->mount... changed the permissions to read and write... u may have to mount the file the same way too... copied it to the SD card for editing.. changed the required fields.. go back to system folder rename the original build.prop to build.prop.bak so u'll have a backup in case something goes hinky... then copied the edited back into the system folder... reboot...enjoy...
Haven't noticed any adverse effects yet market is good thus far...tegra dedicated apps show up still so I'll take that as a good sign

Another confirmation of working on CM7.0x (I'm still on 7.02).
Installed the app last night, it just allowed me to view the queue after logging in, also saying "This device is not compatible"
I edited the build.prop as described and ran the app and it now streams. SWEET

Same thing happends to me on Vegan Tab GE hope someone figures it out.

Can one of you with a working fix copy and post your build.prop? I want to compare the CM7 build.prop to the vegan-tab and see what's different.

Hmm not working for me.
Running CM7 nightly from 0508 (64 maybe? Not sure)
I sideloaded Netflix
Changed my build.prop as listed above and rebooted.
Loaded up Netflix and didn't get any 'device not supported errors'
I tried to play a video and the screen turns black but the video never plays. If I try to seek to somewhere else in the video netflix will shoot me back to where I was before I started the video.

Possible to root BRAND new Kindle Fire HD?

So is it possible to root the all new Kindle Fire HD 7" ($139.99) with Fire OS 3.0 on it? I'd be looking to put Android 4.2.2. Or is it possible to load the Play store onto the device?
If so, is it also possible to renew the device back to Fire OS 3.0?

Well its brand brand new ya know? I am also curious about this question booting andriod that is

I've used them bone stock with Fire OS 3.0 and for $139 it works flawlessly, however i'd love to get the Google Play store at the least.

Have you tried Bin4ry's Root Many Android yet? It has worked for every Kindle Fire since the second generation devices were released, so I find it hard to believe that it wouldn't work for the newer devices as well.

I haven't purchased one yet. I've only used one a work.

It probably won't be far off. @Hashcode seems to be already working on it, based on this.

It doesn't appear that he ever ended up getting it done because he hasn't posted in about a month. I actually went out and purchased one, so I am quiet eager.

Hashcode is a busy guy. He develops for about a dozen different devices, so adding one more to that roster is going to take a while. Yes, we're all eager for his work as well, as his ports of CM10.1 and CM10.2 are amazing. Even if we have to wait a year, Hashcode, and if not him, someone else will get around to developing for the new Fire:fingers-crossed:
And if you did go out and actually buy one, why not try doing what @soupmagnet suggested and try the Bin4ary root method on it? Amazon may have forgotten to patch the fake-backup we use to "sneak in" the root binaries.

Could I get the link to the method? This would be the first time I have rooted a device, however i'm sure I could do it. I've been building computers since I was 14.
I don't think it would work though, because this Kindle runs version 11.3.0.3 not 7.4.6

Here's the link. I know, it's for 7.4.7, but hey, who knows? It may work :fingers-crossed:
And the KFHD was the first anything I've ever rooted (although jailbreaking iOS was nothing new). Supposedly, if you're familiar with Linux, Android's not that different. If you take your time to read everything carefully and follow the instructions, everything should go smoothly.

7.4.7. doesn't work for me. These new HD's run 11.3.0.3 so we'll likely need a version for that.

OK - So I've been at this for over 4 days and here is what I know to date:
11.3 Kindle is fairly easy to root thanks to many people around here.
Root Many will not provide you access to Google Play on the 11.3 OS Kindle
All the forums that propose solutions to getting it to work around here - don't work on 11.3
Widgets and Live Wallpapers don't seem to work if Google Play is not working
KFFirstAide will not allow you to get Google Play working on 11.3
As far as I can tell, while no one has outright said it, you can not correctly get Google Play working on an 11.3 Kindle Fire as of 12/27/13
Please correct me if I am wrong, I'd love to be told and shown otherwise.

From what I can tell your and read. That is correct. Root is fairly easy though it took me a while cause what most threads dont tell you is you need the sdk so you get the drivers working properly. Which is what I had to do. I have put all the google apps on my kindle but I get force closes a lot and can't use the market. Might be wondering how is any of this useful then? As you can still log in I just use the google apps I like example YouTube and Play Music. But as of now I have heard of some getting market to work but I have not seen a definite way to get that done.

Working [amazon appstore apk] [amzon mp3 apk] [amazon kindle apk]

Edit 1/19/14: Hashcode has released a new build that has apparently fixed the issue with the amazon apks.
His newest build (as of today) is here for KFHD7 2012 http://goo.im/devs/Hashcode/tate/cm11//cm-11-20140117-UNOFFICIAL-tate.zip
And here for KFHD 8.9 2012 http://goo.im/devs/Hashcode/jem/cm11/cm-11-20140117-UNOFFICIAL-jem.zip
I encourage all to try this build (or the newest one) first. I'll still leave these apks here just in case for the mean time.

As posted by KyleMac_ for rooted devices
editing the build.prop is working,too. At least with the amazon kindle apk (that's what I've tried).
go to
/system/build.prop
rename
ro.product.manufacturer=amazon
to e.g.
ro.product.manufacturer=UrChoice

Are you saying that making those changes would allow us to use the most recent version of the Kindle application from the Google Play store?

Be careful editing prop builds, It can backfire. Make a backup if you do.

You can back them up with Titanium Backup, uninstall the apps and then restore them with Titanium Backup. That works on crashing apps but not all apps in the app store are compatible with the Kindle series.

I can't install the Kindle apk from this thread on hashcode's CM11 ROM on my KFHD7. I've tried clicking it to install, but this always ends in the install failing with "App not installed." I also tried copying it to /system/app (and setting proper permissions), but the app still fc's immediately upon starting.

You don't need to make this a system app. Try removing completely and re-downloading it to the download portion of the internal SD card. Then open it. It should work just fine unless something from CM is preventing the app from working properly.

You're welcome.

I can confirm editing the line ro.product.manufacturer in the build.prop works. Just change after the = to whatever you want. I used "Amzn". Tested on KFHD7. As has been stated, always make a backup of your build.prop before changing anything.

Anyway to fix this?

Once you put a custom ROM on your tablet, the "kindle Edition" apps will not work anymore. The short answer is you have to find a non Kindle edition app.

The newest CM drop from Hashcode has change the prop build to make it an Android. If the newest build is used then the newest APK's can be used and the ones I uploaded are no longer necessary. I updated the OP when the new CM 11 was dropped and opted to leave the old APK's up only for those that may experience some random issue. As far as the downloads, they work fine. Not sure what to say about that.

[Q] Prime on rooted KF HD

Hi,
I bought the first version of the Kindle Fire HD (7"). I like to root it for using Google Play Store on it.
I have red, that it is possible to root the KF and to use all the prime features (videos and e-books) without any restriction.
Is this still right? Which custom ROMs support the prime features, too? (Kinology?)
Thank you!
Regards, Michel

Kinology should work as it's based on the Kindle rom, but i am not 100% sure as i never tried kinology. However Cm11 rom works for books games and music but not prime video. I just watch prime videos on my laptop. Cm11 has the android 4.4.4 and overall i think it's really good.
I hope you are talking about the 2012 Kindle fire hd 7'' version though?

Hello and thank you for your response!
CM11 is no option for me at the moment, because I bought the tablet to use prime instant video and have access to the free prime ebooks (with the normal kindle app, you do not have access to them).
So I like to know, if all the prime stuff is working after root the original rom and if it works with the kinology rom?
Yes I own the first version oder kindle fire hd 7" with cam and hdmi output.

Hi! If you root your Kindle Fire you will still have access to the apps and prime videos and books. I have done this and i can verify it works. However not having used kinology i can't say for sure but it is likely that it should work as well!

Yes you can do a factory reset. This will unroot your device and get rid of all the media (apps, music etc) and settings will turn back to normal.
However doing this you WON'T renew your warranty. But the benefits are clearing cache!
To reset your device got to : Settings - Device - Reset to Factory Defaults Then there should be a pop up and it will ask if you are sure.
If you want reset click "YES".

The Google Play Store updated some apps, unfortunately the amazon music app, too.

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, copied it to my kindle fire HD and replaced the apk on it.
Now all works like expected

[Q] What's the best way to run Hearthstone on the Nexus 6 (currently tablet only)?

Hearthstone is now available for Android tablets. It's supposedly optimized for Lollipop and KitKat as well. The question is, how do we get it to run.
So far I have followed this guide to download the .apk and .obb files.

Once I install it, I can run the program but it gives me a "Only available on 6" and larger tablets". Sounds like we need to change the DPI or the device name on the build.prop.
Can someone help figure out the best way to do this? The guide calls for Xposed which is unfortunately not available for Lollipop. The main thing is that I don't want to change my DPI for the entire phone just to run the game.
Thanks!

I'm in the same boat, also have a nexus 6, eagerly wanting to play some hearthstone!
Tried changing the DPI of the whole phone and the game runs fine, just need someone to patch the apk or try and find another workaround for the screen check

Yeah I figure we can come up with some sort of workaround to make it less inconvenient!

They're having some success at this link, using a modified APK:
