I see that type of issue alot with my customers that stop into the store. Download lookout or avg. One of your apps is causing that issue it happened to me with mp3 download pro. All kinds of odd notifications were popping up.

PjS
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] azsl1326:
Thanks, but I have Lookout installed. It didn't find anything. Also tried Avast and it came up empty as well.

The app didn't find anything for me. I am having the same issue. The wrappio thing wanted my phone number and I stupidly provided it.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] joemm:
Same thing with me but I was able to use Addon Detectors app from the market and that was able to detect the app, it was bloat freezer for me that had the air push ads... Uninstalled it, problem solved.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] azsl1326:
Thanks. It was Bloat freezer-free. I will just stick with Titanium to freeze my apps.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dahauss:
I have noticed that since I have updated to 2.3.3 on my phone, LEAVING GPS on, seems to drain my battery fast. If I turn it off, the battery lasts a LOT longer.. I never had this issue on 2.2 .. I also tried this with a program called BATTERYXL. I orig had it set to leave GPS on but turn off data when screen is off. STILL drained battery.. now tested it with GPS ON and DATA ON when screen is ON. DATA AND GPS OFF when screen off. battery lasted a LOT longer..

HOWEVER, am I loosing anything by having GPS off when screen off? will the sense weather update? will it grab the location from something else (phone or data? data is set to come on every 2 hours with bateryXL )

Thanks...
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] swellrider85:
I had the same issue and had to turn GPS off. The weather apps and everything that is location based still work perfectly with the GPS being off. The only time that you are ever prompted to turn it back on would be if you are doing any type of navigation via Google Maps, other than that you will be good to go!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dahauss:
so I dont need the GPS to get a location for the weather app? I know I need GPS for my nav program..

After many test I managed to get Silk to work on a different OS. This worked on CM7 for Kindle Fire. If you get any errors please post.

Here is the link to the spreadsheet. Please check to see if your device is supported!

Install Tutorial:

1. Download the pack here.

2. Use Root Explorer to copy the lib files to /system/lib set permissions the same as the others.

3. Install all of the .apks like you would side load.

4. Copy the com.amazon.cloud9-1.apk from /data/app to /system/app

5. Reboot and enjoy

Check out this post from theverge! Here!

Edit (7/8/2012): Removed dead download links. All installer seems to be lost forever. If anyone still has the file please PM me. There is now no more spreedsheet editing. Most devices are listed so check it out.

Edit (1/6/2012): Made and Uploaded Silk Installer. Please read the directions in a later post. This is my last post for this project but I will still support it if people have erorrs.

Edit (1/4/2012): Updated SilkPort with puneet_champ's apk. Also Please stop screwing around with the spreadsheet.

Edit (1/4/2012): Updated Silk Pack/Added new mirror. (Removed Account and Sync) and Cleaned the post.

Edit (1/4/2012) As suggested by Cobracat03 you could try OTARootKeeper to use Amazon Prime Videos. If you can login to your amazon account through the Account and Sync settings post your method here or PM me if you can't post.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] paniceye:
this worked for me on cm7 thanks!
[Kindle Fire Android Development] ccrowe3:
This worked on my ATRIX also. Interesting. I used everything but the account and sync aol because it would have replaced one of my files and I didn't want to do that.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] brett10:
Thanks so much for this! I've been patiently waiting for someone to do this! I tried myself but couldn't get it to work right.

Edit: I followed the instuctions, except I couldn't replace the accounts and sync, I haven't tried to manually do it via root explorer. I didn't think it worked at first, I tried to open the silk browser it FC'd on me. So I reset my kindle and it's working like a charm :D
[Kindle Fire Android Development] terracode:
It appears that the AccountAndSync.apk may be needed in order to get Prime videos working. Currently it doesn't recognize one as a prime subscriber.

The Silk Browser has the 'Accelerate Browsing' option checked (active) and greyed out (cannot deactivate).

Overall works well... Thanks!

Edit: I renamed the existing AccountAndSync.apk and added the one from the package. Still cannot find a way of adding credentials that are recognized by the VOD app. Currently it says that unit is not configured properly for playing videos when a video purchase is attempted.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] beepFTW:
Works perfectly! Thank you! Now is there any way you can port the stock rom keyboard? That would be great!

This is awesome thank you, is there a way to port over the Kindle Reader? The one in the Android market doesn't have the option for bigger letters like on the Fire, thanks for your time
[Kindle Fire Android Development] DeerSteak:
Yes it does. Tap the screen then hit the menu button. Mine has font size, face, and line spacing controls. At least on this Fire running cm7.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] periferral:
I did notice however, that the KF version of the Kindle app renders books differently from the stock app. Also some books will not load at all on the Kindle App from the google market on the KF. I ported the KF Kindle app onto cm7 but I'm stuck because I cannot login into my Amazon account from cm7 (cannot register device)

For one, I could not install Accounts and Sync (anyone know how to get this installed?). Another reason I was thinking this might be failing is because Amazon expects to get a 16 digit serial number from the device during registration. My guess is the cm7 build prop does not provide this and so the registration fails. Thoughts?

are the download links working ?

Could someone pl repost the file ?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] chairshot215:
Has anyone else using CM7 on their Kindle getting FC issues? Worked fine for like forever but now back on CM7 and it's a no go. Actually started after restoring a TWRP backup so figured maybe was corrupted so wiped system and reinstalled but still no go. Have installed this port about a dozen times so I'm pretty sure I'm not just installing incorrectly. Anyhow figured I would ask before spending more time troubleshooting. Fairly sure I'm going to need a data wipe, just really don't want to.

Can someone please repost the Silk Installer Download as the link has gone dead. Thanks :)
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Misune:
If someone still has the .exe then pm me but I don't have the exe at the moment.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] starable:
I'm not sure what FC issues means. What I have problems is that the reboot will continue for about two times and won't turn on. If I turn it on it will just be on the orange triangle scene and died later within seconds. Thus it does pass the boot up. Is that the FC issues?

However once when I install and do not reboot Silk works fine. It only draws problem when I reboot. I'm sure the problem lies in Silk because restore back to before Silk is install reboot is all good.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] starable:
For those looking to download the files. Look back to the first post. Check the tutorial part. There are two links. One of them should work. It did for me.

Speed of Silk

Does Silk seem to be faster than other browser on kindles that are running both? When I was using back in the stock days it didnt seem to be any faster than what I am at now, but maybe it has been to long and my memory has faded.:eek:

Has anyone been able to even get the ATVAndroidClient to install ?

I've tried it on 3 android phones and i get parse errors on all of them.

I also tried unrooting to no avail.

I tried everything i could possibly think off (unless im missing some pertinent info), even a batch install failed. I even tried going back to stock unrooted and that didn't even work. ATVAndroidClient.apk you are now my mortal enemy.

EDIT: Maybe i need to mod the "build.prop"? I'm squeemish on doing this because i have so many other apps installed already that might look to it for what it is currently :-/
[Kindle Fire Android Development] :
Worked perfect for me running cm7. Did you fix permissions before installing.

[Kindle Fire Android Development] XIPRELAY2010:
Not sure if this was directed at me. But yes i did. |-

Are you able to run the video app without issues? When i try and install it all i ever get is.

"There is a problem parsing the package"

Also tried several other versions of the app. As well as several different methods of moving the app to the device and vice versa. It must be something to do with my systems config or the layout of my microSD cards partitions or something like that. Other than that the only thing i could think of that could be an issue is a buildprop check
[Kindle Fire Android Development] :
I was able to install the 3 apks after changing permissions, but haven't tried the video app, just the Amazon web browser. I just did this, this AM and haven't had time to test much out yet.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] XIPRELAY2010:
Thanks for your help. I guess i can try and restart the entire process over again.

@all

Does anyone have a mirror link to the setup installer listed in the very beginning of the OP post ?

Yea I guess Amazon video isn't working for me either. It will not display video's. The browser works though.

works on HTC EVO 4G (original) SPRINT.

Can't really say it's "FAST", feels a smidge slower than the stock browser.

But, I need to play with it more. Otherwise, install was exact to the instructions above, no other modifications were needed.

Honestly, at present I don't like how much space the top and bottom bars take up. Hoping there is a hidden way to remove them (for the smaller devices).

[Kindle Fire Android Development] timbck2:
The Amazon Browser force closes on startup on my HTC Incredible running CM 7.1.0. I didn't modify build.prop at all, because I didn't want to screw anything up. I'll make a new Nandroid backup, try the build.prop modifications, and post the results here.

UPDATE: After making both build.prop modifications, the Amazon Browser still FC's on me. Oh well. I'll watch for updates here.

Also, the video player appears to work OK (though the display is a little funky because my screen isn't big enough I guess), at least it doesn't force close, but I'm not going to rent something just to try it out!

UPDATE 1/5/2011: After installing the new .apk, the browser now works on my HTC Incredible. I think it's ugly on this size screen (I'll try it this evening on my G Tablet, though that probably won't work since it's running Honeycomb), but it does work.

How do you log in to the video portion, I can't seem to find it?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] seeking:
browser works on the galaxy note; however, the resolution where you type the web address is squished in comparison to the huge tabs and black bar.

amazon video loads, but there's no way for me to log into my account to play anything.

I tried installing accountsandsync but its a no go.

i removed the original accountsandsync from the system/app folder, i changed the read/write permissions, and everything else I could think of. The only thing left that I can think of is using ADB but i'll have to do that when i get home.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] timbck2:
It's a separate app, called "Amazon Video".

You don't need to install Account and Sync. Open settings and add an account from Account and Sync, should see Amazon.
