Without play store you'll probably not get it working. Afirehds are really locked down, almost as bad as apple.

sideload
What I have been doing is sideloading. I will download the app onto my phone, backup the app with Astro File Manager, then move the apk to like a shared dropbox account. Once you have the .apk you can install the app. :good: Have you got the app yet? I skimmed through and didnt look.

I side load all day. I've frozen all of Amazon's apps and replaced a such of the system as I can. Using a different launcher I ow have an almost Android kindle lol

If that's vanilla "PBS KIDS Video (Kindle Tablet Edition)" then I can report that it works just fine on Nook HD+. I've added it to my amazon library, too bad we have to go around "incompatibility" (as amazon appstore reports) like that.
I wish there was more people interested in this app for other android tablets, we could start a petition to pbs or something.
Is there a way for me to download my "(Kindle Tablet Edition)" apps without owning a kindle device? like downloading it to an emulator of some sort and copying the apk over?

Yes it is. If you have the Amazon OS, you can use Amazon apps to install it. If you don't, good luck. I tried and it wouldn't even let me download the apk.

Clearly amazon doesnt want all amazon apps to run on other android devices (technically they all should). I sometimes think theyd prefer people not to know that kindle is an android device simultaneously promoting amazon appstore with android apps, depending on situation with profit in mind.

I ran into the same issues... I wonder if there's some loophole. Back when I initially tried it, I screwed around with build.prop to change the model name or something, but that didn't work. Oh well. I'll just have to use their mobile website.

No, if it is specified for a Kindle, a Kindle must download it. It won't even show up in the app store APK if it realizes your not using a Kindle.

So at one point wifi on the tablet went out and I got a browser page "Website not available"
http://pbskids.org/video?kindle
Seems like the whole app is nothing more than just a browser opening a website, which is still pretty cool because that way I can put the app into Kid Mode. I wish I could do that with video files on the tablet.

Is there anyone that could grab the reading rainbow apk off the kindle store for me? It would be great! Thanks. Also, anyone get the Amazon Video apk to work with custom ROMs? Any info would be great.

Ditto! Would love if someone could snag this and make it available.

"This app is compatible with your device" When browsing Play Store?

On all my other Android devices I can install apps from my laptop via the Play website. Can I not do that on my Fire HD even though it tells me I can, or am I missing something?

I am curious as well if there is a way to tweak the kfhd to download more apps from the playstore...like lie to it that ot is some other ics device

Ummmm. No, as far as I know. I don't see how or why this would work until the KF2 gets a real OS on it. Once it down, I do not see why it shouldn't. For now though, I don't know of any ways it's possible. Back to browsing on the device for you! [EDIT] I was wrong! The app is on my device. It was sitting in front of me for an hour or so when I turned it on to do stuff and found the app I pushed on it there! So it does work in theory, it may be slow for you, or some other issue, but it should work it seems!

Yes, this IS possible. I will look into it and post. It's a file you have to tweak, I did it before on tablets I just am completely blanking out since it's been a year or two. You will probably need something like RomToolbox. That's what I bought ages ago and use on every device I hack, just a personal preference but you will need a "build.prop editor".

Here use this app it will switch you device to make it look like a different device and allows you to download more apps.

The PPA has the tools and dependencies to support Precise, Quantal and Raring. Add the Ubuntu Touch PPA by adding the following custom source list entry to your /etc/apt/sources.list file.
sudo add-apt-repository ppahablet-team/tools
Then do the following:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install phablet-tools android-tools-adb android-tools-fastboot

My mistake.
And that other Ubuntu thread (if you mean this one) doesn't have a list of whats working etc, which makes it convenient for people in a rush.

I got shot of it because i had loads of messages from random ppl in my inbox and no way to get rid of them, other than that its very nice, smooth, and for a very early build....impressive

After flashing, it just felt like I was playing with a display unit rather than a 'developer preview' which was somewhat disappointing. Can't wait for an actual release, this has a lot of potential to be the start of something amazing IMO.

I think this could be incredible, especially with the convergence thing.
But what worries me is that it requires a 32gb sd card, and the N4 only comes in 8 and 16gb versions

I have some questions.
Does monitor mode work on Ubuntu Touch?
How much space is available after installation?

How do I enter a URL in the browser?
Edit: I just found out: pull the url bar from the bottom of the screen. If you drag from the bottom of the screen to the upcoming grey icon ou can close apps etc.

When i tried the preview yesterday i really liked how fast it booted(6 seconds after Google logo) and the clean home screen. Gestures were nice but too sensitive.

[Q] Kinology 3.1

Since I can't post on the actual Kinology thread in the dev section I was curious if anyone can help me.
Looking to root and install a custom ROM on my KFhd7 and I liked Kinology from what I've seen,
My question is... does it look like a stock android afterwards? or does it/can it maintain the Kindle "carousel" and still have access to the playstore and the other tweaks and additions.
I already have an SG3 geared and customized to the teeth and my Kindle is just used for reading and movies. MAYBE a game every now and then.
I just much prefer to have the kindle carousel.
Appreciate any replies.

It comes with go launcher but the carousel is completely still in tact and can be default

Kinology is the only ROM that has the option to flip to stock launcher. If you try some other ROM in the future, you can get apps that will allow you to use all the fun features of the Kindle's except Prime movie streaming. Just some info.

[Q] Kindle Fire 11.3.1.0 Rooted?

Hi everyone. New kindle user here. First off I would like to ask if my kindle is fully rooted? In the current version info it says current version 11.3.1.0_user_310084920. I followed the Root Kindle Fire HD "7" 20013 (KFSOWI) 11.3.1.0 tutorial but the kindle never restarted on its own after the rooting process I had to manually turn it off then back on. The kindle is the new 2013 version with no camera and 16GB of memory from Best Buy.
Also, is there anyway I can install the google play market on this? Or, if possible, dualboot a non kindle brand Android OS on this?

Hi Dan. To check for root I would suggest getting the app Esfile explorer and go into the settings and turn "Root Explorer" on. Then see if you can cruise through the root folders /data or /system and actually see files in those folders. If you see files inside those folders you should have root. Also, be sure to install a super su or superuser app to keep apps from Willy nilly acquiring root privileges.
As of this moment I am unaware of anyone getting google play to work properly. Lots of peeps have it installed but working as its supposed to? Mine isn't. I can browse but there is no searching or downloading. As for a non kindle brand os all I can say is that patience is a virtue. The boatloader its still locked down and I'm not aware if anyone has figured out a work around yet. Till then we are all waiting on the ingenuity of the devs. I would not suggest trying anything until we hear that fer sure someone got it. I for one don't want a brick. Cheers.

Actually you can. Go http://apps.evozi.com/apk-downloader/ here. Copy and paste the address of the app you want to download (like com.example.example) in the bar. Hit generate download link and download the apk file. This only works on free apps and games.
