[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spunker88:
I'm wondering if this will have an app for Amazon Instant Video since it is one of the advertised features. If it does, would it be possible to port it to other Android devices? Right now the only way to watch Amazon Instant Video on an Android device is to spoof a desktop user agent and use flash player. While this method works, it would be a lot easier to have a native app, especially with flash player being discontinued.

APK (ATVAndroidCleint.apk) is Posted:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=19409230&postcount=10

Works on unrooted Gingerbread devices and force closes on Honeycomb/ICS when you try to go to a video's page. On rooted devices you'll need to install OTA Rootkeeper then force close and re-open the video app. You can also freeze/defrost it with Titanium Backup.

Option #1 to Log in to Your Amazon Account:

Open the Amazon video app and find a video you want to watch. Tap the orange box to buy the video and log in with your Amazon account. Once logged in the prices in the orange boxes should adjust if you have Prime and you'll be able to watch videos. If you get an "Error Linking Device" proceed to option #2.

Option #2 to Log in to Your Amazon Account:

From a Kindle Fire ROM dump obtain and install MyAccount-unsigned.apk and com.amazon.dcp.apk. The files in this post should work even though its not a complete ROM dump. Now you can associate your Amazon account with your device just like you would a Google, etc account. From Settings, Accounts you should be able to add an Amazon account. Now go back into the Amazon video app and you should already be logged in and able to watch videos.

If you still get a "Your device is no longer configured correctly to play Amazon videos" error try restarting your device after you temp unroot with OTA Rootkeeper. Some devices, usually running CM roms have had issues with the error even after temp unrooting.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smtom:
My understanding is that it will play instant video, although idk what app will do it.

Soon after mine arrives, I'll update?
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aimbdd:
Its built into the device.. so I doubt it.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheZuneLune:
When flash is discontinued, you won't lose your ability to view video. more than likely, they will replace it with HTML5. As long as thy don't go to Silverlight, you should be OK.

Ditto, though about the native app. Why hasn't amazon released this type of app?
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] johnchad14:
Yeah, popped over to see if there was an apk for it to try on other devices. Would definitely want to give it a shot.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jm9843:
There is a native Amazon Video app on the Fire. The apk installed and ran fine on my Nexus S (although the layout was a bit wonky). The problem that I encountered is that there is no way to sign in to your account from the app.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sikesjb:
Where is the apk?
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spunker88:
Can you post the apk. Myself and others would be interested even if it doesn't work yet. Perhaps there is another app or service needed to get you logged into Amazon similar to porting android market to devices that don't have it. I also read that Amazon is releasing their source if that makes things easier. You'd think they would release Instant Video as an app but it is a selling point of the fire.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abremel:
The apk is in system/app, and is called "ATVAndroidClient.apk"
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sikesjb:
here is the ATVAndroidClient.apk......havent tried it yet.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sikesjb:
FC's when trying to watch movies, or view help. Must be due to sign in as mentioned previously. May need the accounts and sync apk installed.....

Looks nice though.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smtom:
fwiw, post-rooting, myself and a couple others are no longer able to instant stream a video...
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spunker88:
Sweet, and it works on the Droid 3.

What I did was tapped on an orange $1.99 button to buy an episode of a show. This brought up the Amazon login window and I logged into my Amazon account. Now that I'm logged in, it knows I have Prime Instant Videos for free so it lets me view everything.

There are some messed up parts of the GUI due to it only supporting the Kindle's resolution. I also noticed that once the on screen controls disappear during a video there is no way to get them back. I have to press the back button on my phone to exit back to the app, but luckily the app keeps your place, allowing you to resume.

Overall it is good enough to be usable, I watched a few minutes of Top Gear and Lost on it just fine. Both the Droid 3, Bionic, Razr, etc and the Kindle Fire have TI OMAP 4430, not sure if this has to do with anything.

EDIT:

Doesn't appear to work over 3G. You can browse videos but get the error "Playback over cellular network is currently disabled"
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sikesjb:
Yeah, I tried it on my Inc 2 and had more success....my first attempt was on honeycomb.

Wasn't able to log in. network error. Will try on wifi....

Definitely looked better on my tablet, so probably ideal for gingerbread tab.

[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spunker88:
It won't work over 3G for me, it wants wifi. It will be better on a tablet I'm sure, some of the things like the search box, etc feel a little small on a 4" screen, but its still a lot easier than using a browser.

If you got it working on your Incredible 2 then it may not actually be GPU sensitive. Maybe this will end up working on a wide variety of devices. Makes you wonder if Amazon will release a version to the general public.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sikesjb:
Yeah, got it working on my A100, but agian...honeycomb. FC's arent unfamiliar. Inc 2, I got as far as the login screen, but got "an error has occured, please try again" on wifi and 3G. Could be an account issue though.

Hopefully someone that knows what they are doing can get it to work properly.

Glad you got it working.

That was what I had experienced on the Xoom w/ the Google Market for Movie Rentals.

It let's you rent them and they show up in Videos. But you can't watch them if you're rooted. You have to watch them through a browser.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spunker88:
Apparently this app checks for root and gives this error even on the Kindle if rooted. The solution is to temporarily unroot with an app, details at this link:

I'm searching for the files( better if a flashable zip) of the new boot animation with the big logo of beats audio that htc introduced...the one that is also used in the runnymedeAllinOne by seebastieen15

thanks in advance
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MatDrOiD:
Why don't you just download the rom you mentionend, extract the bootanimation.zip from it and copy it to your rom (either /system/media or /data/local)?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] celoni:
if I could I would have not only created this thread, but I even had this need...but instead of answer with stupid answer like yours (i like to call this kind of answer:"le nonrisposte") that are usefull only for the message count , i think is better if you enjoy other thread or at least find some other interests ,no one force you to answer.

My question is still the same...can someone provide the files (or a flashable zip) of the beats audio boot animation(on/off)..
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
Dont jump on Mat. That is a good answer. I would have suggested the same thing given that you haven't found them anywhere else and I don't know either.

Out of interest, why can't you download the ROM?

To be honest, if I did know, I wouldn't tell you now given that someone posted a helpful response and you basically treated him like ****.

You have a lot to learn about courtesy to people who try to help.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] celoni:
No comment
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
So you wont even tell us why you cant do the simplest thing that we suggest to get the files you want?

Man, why are you even asking then? If you think you can come here asking for help then give **** to people who help you or come back with snide remarks, then more fool you.

Well you know where the files are now so you can go and get them. I don't think this thread has any business continuing.

all i can say i havent seen any real bad roms, just visit the threads in the dev section and compare them to what you want from it. ive used kyrillos for a long time but with recent updates i figured it was not what i want anymore (wich offcourse doesnt make it a bad rom). i went looking for something else i liked and the rom that caught my eye was kyorarom.

so basicly its a matter of taste. like i said try to compare them for your needs and flash the one you think suits you best. and if after using it a bit you want to try something else? just flash another one.

good luck and happy flashing :D

Thanks so much for the really helpful info! :-)

I ended up deciding that the Apollo i5801 is not for me as the screen is just to small and low resolution. I am selling it if anyone is interested:

Instead I have chosen to go for the Motorola Defy as its still pretty cheap and has a high res screen and good battery.

Thanks for all the help and I hope this thread helps people that are interested in the Apollo..

Its very laggy with the rom I use and the link u posted its not in that thread I I've already looked in there
[Motorola Photon 4G] _-Jay-_:
I was just wondering if anyone is running SPB Shell 3D on their phone and how they like it. Does it make the phone laggy? Is it a battery hog? I was thinking of getting it for my wife. She loves the phone but the UI is a little dull in her opinion and I wanted to kinda spice it up for her a bit. She was very discouraged when I told her the MoPho has almost zero dev support and she is now wondering if she made a mistake buying one. I am trying to explain to her that it's still an amazing phone but giving her a little "visual enhancement" with the 3D shell would go a long way I think.

Thanks in advance!
[Motorola Photon 4G] dping28:
Ive had it for a few days and I love it. imo I noticed an improvement with the UI over the stock one.
[Motorola Photon 4G] lroy:
my sister runs it on her photon. shes a pretty big user when it comes to Facebook and texting... blah blah blah. shes runs a stock photon rooted and has no issues. when i have used her phone just a few times, its memory is always around 320ish free where im not running 3dshell and have around 400ish. so it uses up a little more RAM, but i havent seen any big battery issues. she makes it through a whole work day with heavy use.

I would get it for myself, but its 15 bucks!!! im more interested in giving that money to developers within my phone to have other stuff.

but for your wife, i think she will greatly enjoy it. MY sister loves it and she runs it on her Samsung tab also that her 2 year old uses.

When you think about it... its probably a really good thing she has the same on both, allows the kids to be familiar with how moms phone works in case there is an emergency and they have to use their mammas phone. they will know how to navigate since its the same.
[Motorola Photon 4G] bricky23:
I like it alot. Don't notice any difference in battery life. I have had it restart a couple times. I think its the best. I have used it on every rom I've installed, homebase, alien, magnifier, jokers stock and skinny, even put it on cm7. Don't regret the $15 purchase at all.

[Motorola Photon 4G] MultiDev:
Google market doesn't give you enough time to properly try most apps, especially a launcher.
[Motorola Photon 4G] the12nv:
Buy it. I bought the SPB Shell when I had the HTC Evo. The launcher is really slick. The animations are awesome, and the SPB Widgets are pretty cool as well. Very little customization - meaning changing themes or colors (like a Go Launcher, or Launcher Pro), however it is one of the most responsive launchers that I have used. Definitely worth the $15. Your wife wil not complain!
[Motorola Photon 4G] _-Jay-_:
Thanks guys
[Motorola Photon 4G] depperly:
I bought it, but I don't use it... It just sits in my apps taunting me... Seriously though, if you use the webtop on the phone then you will end up hating it, it uses WAY to much memory. I am a very heavy webtop user and had to give it up, I couldn't have more than 2 tabs open in the browser without getting a low memory issue.

That said if you don't sport the webtop then you will not have any issues. The GUI is fast and when I did use it I noticed no impact on the battery. If it wasn't for webtop I would be all over it... But I do so love my webtop.
[Motorola Photon 4G] QWIKSTRIKE:
I have been using it for moths and love the smooth functional interface. Seems way more responsive than stock
[Motorola Photon 4G] CCallahan:
I've been using it for quite a while. Runs smooth on the Photon and battery life is good. Just use home switcher from the Market and switch over to the stock UI before activating Webtop. Then just switch back when done.

Honestly, if all she wants is a UI change put LP or ADW on there with some themes and see what she says. Then use apps such as Beautiful Widgets, Folder Organizer, etc to customize the screens even more. All for little to no money spent.

BTW....SPB will give a refund past the 15min trial the Market gives if you send them an email request. Also, SPB can be had for $9.99 off Handster if you do the phone purchase and don't mind dl the updates manually.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Kcarpenter:
I just don't see that there is 14 or even 10 dollars worth of software there.

I understand that this is why big names took and are still taking for ever with mobile developments (users won't pay a ton of cash for software any more), but really your paying for a bunch of ActionScript animations and that's about it, yeah its nifty and kind of cool to look at - but ADW EX has tons of animations as well, not to the level SPB does, but for 90% less than what SPB charges. :confused:
[Motorola Photon 4G] _-Jay-_:
I purchased it last night and she seems to enjoy it but she said this morning she is having an issue with Handcent where she keeps getting the same 2 messages from her sister over and over again for the past hour. I wonder if the 2 progs don't play nice together. That would really suck since she probably wouldn't give up Handcent.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Kcarpenter:
Handcent is widely used enough that I would assume it would work with everything.

I would try clearing App Data of Handcent.
[Motorola Photon 4G] _-Jay-_:
So I sent an email to SPB Tech Support regarding the SMS problem and they basically said that it can't be their product doing it. That's bull**** since it didn't do it until I installed the shell on her phone. Their solution was to download home launcher from the market and use it to switch back to Moto-Blur. Wow, thanks for nothing.
[Motorola Photon 4G] CCallahan:
This might not be an issue with Handcent. I have been having issues with text messages for about a week. They are all coming in 3-4 days late, and some of them keep getting pushed back to me no matter how many times I delete them. And, I am using the stock messaging app.

They might be right. Could just be a coincidence. I haven't figured out why the text issues are happening yet. My guess is it is Sprint because my configuration hasn't changed and SPB hasn't updated since Oct. 12th.
[Motorola Photon 4G] _-Jay-_:
But how can it be sprint if it wasn't doing it 2 days ago before I installed SPB? Also, I am not having any issues on my 3VO with SMS either. It's definitely a phone issue.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Bandage:
Its a common problem when using multiple msgr apps. Turn off notifications on one of them, or just uninstall handcent
[Motorola Photon 4G] _-Jay-_:
I have already uninstalled handset and am just using the stock messaging app. Still does it.
[Motorola Photon 4G] CCallahan:
I just don't see how it can be SPB since I have had it installed for a long time with the same setup. The last update to SPB was on Oct. 12th and I never experienced a problem until a week or so ago.

When time allows I will do some testing and see if I can figure out what is going on. There is a good chance another product might be causing the issue but will no more soon.

**Edit.....Forgot I did a battery pull last night and haven't had the issue occur yet. Will check it over the next few days and see what happens.
[Motorola Photon 4G] CCallahan:
Seems after the battery pull my issue with texts is fixed. Hopefully this works for you as well.
