Ok, I've been frustrated by this one. I've got the gallery install in the system\app folder. It pulls my Google photos beautifully. The problem that I run into is that once I install google+ the photos vanish. Additionally, if I install the play store version, 1. something, the gallery says that I need to upgrade the plus version. Should I assume I'm lacking a gallery file or that I have an old version of the gallery?
Rather enjoying this new challenge.

Any ideas on this folks? To be a little more clear, if I install the play store version available to the Kindle the gallery says I need to update plus. If I install the current plus version the gallery only shows empty frames in my albums. I'd love it if anyone had a suggestion.
Peace

I just received my KFHD 8.9, and I can't seem to get it to play YouTube videos in HD. Youtube only seems to work from the mobile website (m.youtube.com), and even if you check the "HD" option the video only displays in SD (looks like about 360p). I already changed my Youtube account settings to "Always choose best quality"...
Anyone able to get Youtube to play in HD?
Edit: I know that you can sideload Flash and an older version of Dolphin HD, but I was hoping for a stock solution.
did you try downloading youtube app? I can put my videos on HD there... 720P at least (Kindle Fire HD 7")

There's no YouTube app in the Amazon AppStore... are you referring to sideloading the Gapps? I was hoping to avoid doing that for something as (seemingly) simple as playing HQ Youtube videos...
We bought our son a Nook HD+ for Christmas and I was looking to get Google Play on it to install apps that are not available through B&N that he plays on our phones.
Is the only way to do this is ADB and root? I have no issues doing this, as I have to GNex's rooted but just wanted to make sure.
Yes, you need root to install from unknown sources (in this case, Google). You could side load from adb if you wanted to, but no updates and no shopping

Hey all,
I've got my Xperia Z for a few days now and I'm really enjoying it, except for the fact that there are a lot of apps I'd really like to install, but can't.
When I search for these apps in the Play store, I simply can't find them - they are not showing up. When I search them on Google and open the Play store in Chrome, I get a notification saying these apps aren't compatible.
An example of an app I can't find and download is Doodle Jump. What's the reason that I can't install these apps? And will they be compatible soon or is this a hardware issue? Like everyone else, I'm using Android 4.1.2.
Thanks in advance
Its because the developer hasn't uodated the app for 1080p screens
If your rooted and dont want to wait google modoco and look at his website. Hes created a version of play store thay will work

Hi peeps
quick question.... if I remove silk entirely (cause I hate it and don't really want 2 launchers installed) will more apps in the Google store be more compatible? or is that just the way the kindle is made?

Silk isn't a launcher
Yes, there are plenty of launchers and browsers available

Hmmm.... obviously silk isn't what I meant then.... I wand to remove the original kindle software to stock vanilla android.... there are a few apps which at the moment if I search the google play store and they're either not there or don't work and then have to use the amazon Appstore to get a working version... would removing all the amazon launcher stuff make those apps work/available? Or would it not make any difference?
To clarify: Silk is the web browser.
And back to the issue at hand, if you want vanilla android, CyanogenMod is the closest you will ever get.

I don't think it has anything to do with the Amazon apps. I think I read somewhere that it has something to do with the build.prop (which isn't something to go messing with).
If you want to see those incompatible apps in the Play Store, use this app here: http://www.androidpolice.com/2013/0...ps-without-changing-the-build-prop-root-only/

Has anyone received the update yet for the new Prime Music? I've been waiting to try it out but it is not getting pushed to either of my Kindle fire HD.
If anyone has it could they pull the apk?

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.

It's basically the same as Play Store. You don't want that one?

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.

Did you even try the advice you gave? No you didn't or you would know the play store version force closes after the first time. The Amazon version is different from the play store version. We need the Amazon version to get it to work on a stock Kindle.

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.
