Email yourself the dropbox apk, then you can install apk's from your dropbox (or keep emailing yourself apk's to install). Some don't work fully, Market won't at all (darn). You'll have to also check off install 3rd party apps from the device settings.

If you grab netflix from here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1076150

You can install that and it's working fine for me, streaming Prince of Persia now. It was stuttering a bit but then stopped after I paused it for a few seconds to catch up with buffering (I think).

Google Apps?

Does someone have the link(s) where we can grab Google apps (Gmaps, Gmail,Gtalk, etc...)?
[Kindle Fire Themes and Apps] mziol:
I think we might have to get these ourselves. The biggest issue that I found was that I couldn't get google maps location services to work, maps loaded but wouldn't find me when I selected to.

Update: Gmail does not work right now (has to do with the account being set). FC

Maps works but no location.
[Kindle Fire Themes and Apps] fludiddy:
Looks as though sideloading netflix is the only option until the official Netflix app hits the amazon store at some point. Right now it isn't in there -- hulu+ is and works pretty well.
[Kindle Fire Themes and Apps] subtex:
It's there now. I just installed it.
[Kindle Fire Themes and Apps] fr4nk1yn:
Somebody please sideload ADW or ADW Ex and post the results.
[Kindle Fire Themes and Apps] mziol:
I can confirm Netlifx is in the Amazon AppStore. You have to look for it from the device.
[Kindle Fire Themes and Apps] mziol:
Also, XDA works via sideloading as you can see for those of you that don't want to re-buy the app.
[Kindle Fire Themes and Apps] lionclaw:
I just tried LauncherPro and ADW - They come up in a list when you hit the home button, but they force close.
[Kindle Fire Themes and Apps] drgibson:
I side loaded adwlauncher ex. Works fine except bottom home tray stays active. The amazon fire tray.
[Kindle Fire Themes and Apps] na2rboy:
Go launcher, facebook app, twitter are all working for me. Of all things, I can't get the USAA app to install.
[Kindle Fire Themes and Apps] abremel:
After installing the google services framework apk from the gapps zip from cyanogens site, i was able to get google books and gmail working - gmail wont auto-check mail atm, but it works. Also, adw ex works for the most part - you have to drag application shortcuts to the homescreen by holding down on them from the drawer, as the popup to add an application seems to be broken.

Also sideloaded dropbox and netflix without issues, as well as beautiful widgets and the animation package for it - latest facebook apk was force-closing on me.
[Kindle Fire Themes and Apps] soundslikemitch:
Has anyone gotten google reader? Where can I get gmail? Which gapps should I use? The tiny one?

I downloaded the Netflix app right from the app store on the kindle. Works great!

This is going to sound silly but would someone mind trying out Live Holdem Poker Pro? I'm unable to post a link directly to it yet though.

I'm buying this tablet tomorrow and my buddy plays this game all the time and I'd love to be able to play it.

And is sideloading as simple as dropping the apk to the tablet and loading it through a file browser, or is there more to it than that?
[Kindle Fire Themes and Apps] subtex:
Maps and Youtube and StreetView all work but Gmail hangs at the screen after you put in your user/pw and it connects to google's servers.

Maybe I'm using the wrong gapps.

I think I installed the services framework from the GB zip for CM7, but the gmail and youtube and other apps from the HDPI zip.

Maybe that's the problem.

But I tried to replace the installed services app with the hdpi one and it fails on replacing it in the install.
[Kindle Fire Themes and Apps] abremel:
I just grabbed the latest gmail apk off my desire - which is running cm7.1 - gmail version 2.3.5.2 - ill see if i can manage to post an apk in the morning if no one else has gotten around to it yet.

Edit: Also worthy of note - i added my google account via the books app before trying gmail... so i never had to sign in via gmail... may make a difference.
[Kindle Fire Themes and Apps] subtex:
I got it to work doing something similar I think. I installed a version of the market, added my account their and it worked. The market itself crashed and I had to uninstall it, but by then the account was set up and so gmail started working.

version 2.3

it's behind a bit. Definitely not the latest gmail, so if the version you were going to post is newer than that I'd be thankful!
[Kindle Fire Themes and Apps] soundslikemitch:
http://www.mediafire.com/?26pujxmqvmaubjb

blacked out 2.3.5 gmail app worked. Does not sync cause you can't manage you account but still is great!

I was able to get reader, facebook, messenger, books, and gmail working. Can not find a voice or a calendar app.
[Kindle Fire Themes and Apps] abremel:
Actually, the sync settings are still technically there... you just can't get to them from amazon's settings app. I found an app in the market using another device called "sync settings" that basically just shortcuts that settings window - and now I have sync working perfectly.

Anyone try new keyboards?

i downloaded thumb keyboard and it downloaded but there is no way i can find to enable it....if it was enabled there is a way to select an input method...but can't find it yet

[Kindle Fire Themes and Apps] Shift4g:
Hmm, I wonder if Google + and the ICS Google Music app could be gotten to sync.
[Kindle Fire Themes and Apps] subtex:
Tap and hold on any text field (like the addressbar in the browser for instance). You'll get the popup menu for copy etc. At the bottom of that menu is "Input Method"

You can switch keyboards there.

I don't think you'll have any way to get to the settings of that kb though. Unless the kb itself has a button you can press to jump to them.

The Amazon Settings section is completely different than the stock android settings section. There is no section for keyboards at all. Just for the Kindle Keyboard.
[Kindle Fire Themes and Apps] wbales:
Right....i got that, but no way to enable the keyboard apps.....
[Kindle Fire Themes and Apps] subtex:
All of the settings screens can be gotten to by calling the actual process or whatever for it. You'd see those options in the automation type apps.

My guess is someone could write a very basic app that just goes directly to the kb screen of the hidden settings section. Sort of like how the Syn Settings app posted earlier does.

Hey guys! I tried loading the dropbox.apk but had no luck. I got a parse error. I tried a youtube.apk and got the ssame error. I do have "Allow installations from unknown sources" on. Weird thing is my kindle fire updated on its own before i tried to install these apps. Could it be the update added a security patch? Or maybe my apk's that i tried to install are not working...?

Any insight would be helpful.
[Kindle Fire Themes and Apps] abremel:
Mine updated itself when I first rebooted it as well, so i doubt that's your problem... dropbox definitely worked no problem for me - I'm attaching the apk I used... give that a shot.
[Kindle Fire Themes and Apps] ckong1:
What Talk.apk are you pushing? after I pushed it to /system/app all that happens is that i find the file there with root explorer and it fails to install when I click it.
[Kindle Fire Themes and Apps] wbales:
also you can download the app via www.dropbox.com/android
[Kindle Fire Themes and Apps] abremel:
doublecheck that permissions of the talk.apk are rw-r--r--

Can someone please test their Fire to see if Mocha VNC Lite works? If this app works I'll buy 3.

[Kindle Fire Themes and Apps] hitsndc:
Thank you guys soooo much!!! Especially for the apk. I figured out what was going. Apparently K-9 email was causing the "Parse error" while trying to open the apk. I had to log directly into my gmail via web browser to open the apk rather than use k-9 emaill app. thanks so much guys!!!

[Kindle Fire Themes and Apps] zandroidz:
Regarding the new Google Music... I've got it installed and everything but how will I connect it to my account to allow streaming?
[Kindle Fire Themes and Apps] wbales:
you need to download the google services framework apk and the sync settings app

Google systems framework you have to find the link for on Google

sync settings post #26

you might even need to install the gbooks app to add your account

I don't have a VNC Lite account....but it does download via the apk on their website http://www.mochasoft.dk/android_vnc.htm

so it is running....just wasn't able to test the vnc

hope that helps
[Kindle Fire Themes and Apps] bmaupin:
Thanks. Mocha VNC Lite is a free app. You don't need a VNC "account", simply a computer running VNC on it to connect to. I personally use RealVNC free on my computer (realvnc.com/products/free/4.1/). If anyone could test that it actually works I would really appreciate it.

TYI
[Kindle Fire Themes and Apps] subtex:
So I just wrote a quick app that would throw you to the keyboard settings section to see if the "Kindle Keyboard" screen on the Fire was a different screen and that the Android keyboard settings screen was just hiding somewhere.

But when I run my app, it just takes me right to the Kindle Keyboard screen.

So I guess maybe there isn't any way to get to enable alternate keyboards. Unless you can programmatically set those. But I can't see how or why that would be something Google would allow. You could end up with kb apps you install forcing themselves to be the selected kb.

Anyhow, just figured I'd try.

Where are you guys getting the apks? I used a file manager to back up apps on my phone (Nexus S 4G) and transferred the apks to my Fire. The apps I tried (twitter, flickr, and tapatalk) all worked, but the icon in the homepage carousel was distorted or very pixelated. Are you guys experiencing the same issue or is it possible the apks that I used?
[Kindle Fire Themes and Apps] subtex:
Most of these apps do not have the large icons for higher res screens, so they'll show up pixelated. Small price to pay, I think.
[Kindle Fire Themes and Apps] wbales:
correct all third party apps have low pixel images......

I'm getting apk's from my phone

but getjar.com works as well
[Kindle Fire Themes and Apps] subtex:
weird, getjar wouldn't download any apps to my fire at all. The getjar app itself installed fine, but when I tried to download anything, the small modal dialogue popped up with the download progress, but then immediately disappeared.
[Kindle Fire Themes and Apps] wbales:
it did that for me for a couple of apps....but not all of them

when I did it on my phone on the Getjar app it would go to the Android Market instead to install it
[Kindle Fire Themes and Apps] subtex:
damn. Wish this worked. I see a few apps in GetJar I want. No matter what I do this doesn't work.

Not that I'm asking, but if you so happen to get the apk for FeedR....

heh.

---------- Post added at 09:32 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:30 PM ----------

ah this makes sense. My guess is the getjar app is trying to pass off the link to the google market for any apps it doesn't have in its own market. And since google market is not there on my fire, the popup just goes away.
[Kindle Fire Themes and Apps] wbales:
Getjar no longer is showing any apps for me :/
[Kindle Fire Themes and Apps] subtex:
yeah seems they added the fire as a device to getjar finally, but now nothing shows up if you have it chosen. I'm sure they'll fix that soon

Maybe you could try Appslib instead of GetJar? I don't know if Appslib is available outside of the Archos tablets but I get much, much more downloads from Appslib than from GetJar (which I hate - it's like a webpage from 1999 or sth, very problematic to download sth and even more problematic to upload a game for it).

Create a group in the contact hub and call it "Twitter"

Put in this group all your twitter contact.

It can still install itself onto your phone from the Android Market website, provided it is on, have data connection and the phone is still tied to your Gmail account.

It will be able to give you GPS location.

Here is an exaggerated account on how someone got his phone back, but I suspect the credibility of this story.

When technology fails, we can always fall back to basic human kindness.

I lost my phone once before, but the finder was very kind to call my home and tell my mother about it. Thus I was able to retrieve it.

So let's hope for the best. =)

Hello guys... I have HTC HD2... I had searched and found probelms related with my problem but couldnt find any soloultion... I get the problem when I tried to write windows 7.5 but failed (in addition my sd card broked but it's not matter now) then I tried to write windows 6.5 again. I don't know what I did wrong but now I have this problems:

When I pressing vol down + power I see this information

On top right there write: RUUNBH

PB81100 HX-BC

SPL-3.03.0000 XE

MicroP(LED) 0x05

MicroP(TOUCH) 0x40

Upgrade ROM code error

Please try again

1.When I open the mobile have this error:

"Software update failed. Please try again."

2.When I trying Vol Up + Vol Down + Power button all go smooth but when its boot to continue with process its showing me the above message again.

3.I have downloaded the 1.48 Rom and installed through USB but it's stack on 1% and then on the computer screen it show me this error:

"Look at first picture on Attach files"

4. When I tried to use HSPL I get this error

"Look at second picture on Attach files"

5. Have extracted 1.48 Rom and taked the RUU_signed.nbh and renamed it to leoimg.nbh, copied it to formated sd card(Fat 32) and when pressing Vol down + power i get error:

00028002

Not Allow

Don't know what other I can try to make it working... Please guys help me I have this mobile only month

PS: Yes i really donate 20 euro... because its better to give to someone who helping here people instead of giving it to shop that will ask 100 or to toss the phone... I hope a programmer can make one custom rom that will recover somehow the phone... :)
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
Wrong rom. You don't have hspl installed, you have stock 3.03.0000 and the rom you are trying to flash is either wrong provider or wrong region, and since hspl is gone, it wont flash.
[HD2 General] Xoemab:
So that's it? My phone is gone? If i give it to mobile shop they can't to repair it either?
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
lol,

theres nothing wrong with it.

run hspl4 and choose any hspl you require

your lesson today? don't flash stock roms from SD CARD unless you KNOW its the correct carrier/region, , , it removes hspl and if the rom doesnt match your provider/region the flash fails the checks and cant continue. Hence 'rom code update error' and '28002 not allow' and teh big giveaway 'bad modelID'
[HD2 General] Xoemab:
You didnt read well I said

So hspl not work either
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
ahh well in that case, two questions

1 - what does the top line say in bootloader? (check again, dont just assume its teh same as last time you looked)

2 - which HSPL did you run? hspl.exe, hspl2.exe, hspl3.exe or hspl4.exe?
[HD2 General] Xoemab:
1 - Is the same

2- HSPL 2 and 4
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
If the error deff says bad modelID and you deff used hspl2 and hspl4 and in bootloader it deff shows PB81100 HX-BC, , then it must either be broke, or something I havent seen before.

Whats teh phones source? country? provider? bought sim free?
[HD2 General] poisas:
Hi, i wonder, if you take out the sd card, and use task29 to wipe out the nand.
