Does anyone has a youtube apk that switches to HD mode? sorry if this has been anwered somewhere, but bored of searching google for another half an hour.
Thanks a lot
edit0: I can't see this thread in the forum, i guess no one else does either. If found by a mod, please delete, i posted it in the QA section again (it belongs there anyway)
thanks!
edit1: and now it's there... what's going on..
I am unaware of any hacks to the youtube app to enable HD for the galaxy s but I would most certainly love to have one.
Was reading over in the SGS2 forum that you have to change the dpi to enable it. It appears as though it is only for high resolution devices. The thread was in their general forum.

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.

Another way is to use twisted home manager from play store.

I assume it to meaning he added the "Home"app that appears in your app list.

What I did was move the Kindle app out of the system folder with Titanium Backup (requires root). I may not have needed to do that because my next step was to "backup and uninstall" (again with Titanium Backup). I then went to Google Play/Market and re-installed from there. Now it works fine.
Update: you do have to change Kindle app from a system app to user app if you want to do a "backup/uninstall". Another option may be to just do a "force remove", but I wanted to have the app backed up.

While removing the built in Kindle App and installing the Play Store version does allow you to launch it directly, it is not the same app. The Play Store version does not have the Kindle specific features such as X-Ray and Text-to-Speech.

I asked this same question once...
soupmagnet said:
This is a question that has been brought up and looked into since the first generation KFs. Many skilled developers have looked into the issue and the answer is always the same...
While it may not be impossible to port apps like the launcher, reader and Silk to non-Amazon ROMs, the work involved would be way more than what it's worth.

Thanks Ph0enix. I figured as much. I also discovered that this past December, Amazon updated their iOS kindle app to have the X-Ray feature. It's a little disappointing that they're hanging the general android base out to dry. I could see if the point of withholding features was to drive more sales of their Fire tablet but now iPhones and iPads are (costly) alternatives.
I would like to have pop up notification options but amazon don't have the accessibility section in the settings list. Is there a way to get around this?

Not sure, but have you tried this?

It lists accessibility settings although I'm not sure they are the same as stock android, probably limited but might be worth a look.
Thanks but i got that on my kindle already and I've ask in the thread if they could add it and i don't think they understood what i meant. Thanks tho for the response.

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.
