One of the nicer tablet optimized apps featured in the Market is the CNN for Android app. Unfortunately, for those of us who have rooted our Xooms, for some reason we cannot play video through the app and get a "CNN Video is not available offline. Please connect to a network and try again" message when we try to play video.
Presumably if there is something about rooting that causes this problem, then it is something with a reasonably easy solution. Unfortunately, I have no clue as to what that solution is. Does anybody have any ideas as to how I can get video working in this app?
Not sure why its not working for you, but its works find for me rooted with 1.4 cybertronic_p6 kernel..
Yeah, it's working with my own kernels, too (essentially the Moto Stock kernel HR166 with the Tiamat Overclock patches and all the latest upstream stuff).
I can't see how rooting and/or updated kernels could mess with that. Now, your init files (part of the "boot.img" that actually enables root) could be missing something that the video section requires.
Can you play embedded videos from any other source?
Do you have adfree installed? As soon as I uninstalled that, the videos started working again.

Yes I do, I thought that might have been what was causing the problem. I don't want to uninstall AdFree. Any idea which host I can delete from the hosts.txt file created by AdFree to get it working?
It's officially out today!
HOWEVER... it's still listed as not available for my Xoom LTE. Not sure if they forgot to check the box for this model. If someone can get the new tablet friendly APK out there, I'd be obliged. I've already submitted a message to Hulu support.
i was able to install it on my xoom.
Can you post an APK file?

i have no clue how to do that.
It's good to know how to do it, programs like ASTRO File Manager or App Backup & Restore can backup the apps installed on your phone or tablet as APK files, which can be installed on any device. It doesn't back up app data (You need root and Titanium Backup for that), but it's great if you want to save old versions of apps in case someone releases a bad update, or if you want to copy them to a device that doesn't have the Android Market or something like that.
Then you stick 'em on some sort of site that lets people download 'em.
Installed fine, however getting DRM not supported error...
I'm running EOS ICS on my CDMA Verizon Xoom, and no dice. I installed it on my Transformer, no problem. Used Astro to backup the apk; however, it says its private and won't allow me to. I've tried to install from the device and the web based play store. No go.
I don't think it's compatible with ICS yet, because my Galaxy Nexus is also non-supported; however, I have ICS on my Nexus S and it installed just fine, so...idk
Runs on my xoom just fine.

You're not getting a "DRM Error"? Mine updated from the hacked version posted earlier once I removed that, but I'm getting "DRM Error 93“.

Nope, no errors.
That's the hacked version, we're talking about the official version with the tablet UI.

Im using market update version -
As of last night, my Xoom LTE could install the app off the Play Store. I could also start a video, but the connection wasn't great it seemed, and I got a network error after like fifteen seconds.
It seems like the only people who have gotten the official app to work on their Xoom, are people with the 4G LTE Xoom. Although, it does not say it will only work on 4G LTE in the Google Play app store, there seems to be a pattern. I wonder if a build.prop edit could fix the issue?

I've wiped data (thinking that the previous hacked version left something around), but still getting the DRM Error 93.

EOS STINGRAY ICS(4.0.4) Nightly 74
Custom Kernel -
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.

Kindle Fire HD 11.3 - Root, but no Google Play

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.

Why the filth-flarn-flarn-filth can't i cast the screen of my Android to my (stock) Chromecast yet, as announced?
I have a S4 (jflte), listed as supported. Running latest Omniron nightly (and up to date SuperSU, but that shouldn't matter), and i tried the following;
- update CC app to 1.7.4 from Android File Host
- update gapps to 20140708 and then to 20140716 in the hope Play Services would fix it
- reboot and factory reset chromecast until my fingers bled
- edited build.prop to appear as a hammerhead device, as advised by @murdoch1 in a different thread
- uninstalled CC app, rebooted
- re-installed Playstore version of CC app (also 1.7.4, now)
Please advise!

I don't know much about Omniron but all ROMs have things that have been removed/are missing, because the developer thought it makes the rom better/faster and they might have removed something with the functionality. Have you tried testing from a different rom? Maybe a TW ROM?

That, i have not. didn't think that would be related, because the casting is initiated from the CC app and not from System>Display.
And i've been on Omni since the first official release for jflte.
Edit. I seriously had to look up what you ment by TW:silly:. If that what it takes i'll live without...
Most likely it's something to do with your phone's ROM. Like Miracast, Chromecast screen casting is dependent on both the device itself and the ROM, and it might depend on kernel/bootloader too. We don't know exactly what hardware/software components Google has leveraged to make this happen.
The only 100% guaranteed working configurations consist of:
Supported phone/tablet
Stock ROM on phone/tablet (root or not shouldn't matter)
Build 17xxx or newer on Chromecast (stock or rooted shouldn't matter as long as build is proper version)
Updated Google Play Services
Chromecast 1.7.4 app (not required in some cases)

It's not as absurd as you would think. I own a Galaxy note II, and I have to use custom versions of Touchwiz so that I can get the S-pen to work, and all other "Note specific" applications.
Edit: I mean 2nd gen (one with hdmi and camera)
I'm a bit confused with this. I have one on the way, but I'm concerned it will have been updated to the latest firmware. Are there downgrades available if it is locked down, or is it just not an issue with the latest firmware?
