My niece has a kindle fire that has a boxing game on it that I wanna pull and put on my sons android tablet. I've downloaded it from the market on my sons tablet but its not the same version. Either they took the one she has on hers down from the market, or hers is an older version and for some reason my son loves that version over the current. So I need to pull this specific one. I've got adb on my comp and kindle fire is recognized, but I'm not sure how to pull and where to pull from. Thanks.
nvm guys, make a backup of the apk and it sent it to the sd card , so then I was able to copy the backup of the game to my desktop and install it on my sons tablet. hes so happy..thank god the crying for her tablet is DONE!
Get dropbox Its not fast but for small files like apk, Its perfect.

I'm curious if anyone has tried to load any of the Adobe tablet apps onto the Kindle Fire, and if so, did they work?
I picked up a Kindle Fire yesterday, but haven't opened it yet, mainly because I don't want to find out the hard way that it won't be able to use awesome tablet apps that are currently only available in Google's Android Market.
I've heard that you can sideload apps on the Kindle Fire, but I'm not sure if that would work in this situation since it is a paid app that requires the Android Market. I don't have any other tablets, and when I went to buy the Photoshop Touch app on the Android Market website, it told me it wasn't compatible with any of my devices (only have Android phones so far).
I am guessing it would work, but the resolution is going to cause some of the Gui elements to be cut off, just like the HTC Flyer.

I tried to install it. It responded with a parsing error. Probably because the Fire is 2.3 and the Photo Shop Touch is only compatable with HoneyComb/ICS
Thanks for the answer. Good to know; I'll just have to wait for a port of ICS to the KF before purchasing Photoshop Touch.
and also, why not just root it? it is really a rather good tablet for it's price once it is rooted.
then you CAN get the android market on it (without having to sideload etc)
The android market website does say that Photoshop Touch is incompatible with the Fire. It says that Photoshop Express is compatible (that one is in Amazon's appstore, but the Amazon appstore says it's not compatible!) but all those other 9.99 Adobe tablet apps say they're incompatible.
has anyone tried sideloading these? if so how did you download/pay for them?
I got it to run using a custom ICS rom. I don't know about side loading tho
It works pretty well on ICS, all gui elements fit thx to fit button in ICS. But you probably will have to sideload it since kf not officially supported
Fit button?

Well, I was curious as to see if this app worked on the KF. I don't know/care what you do, but to get anything done with a Kindle Fire, you MUST root it. If you have one of the old versions (where/when did you buy it) then it comes with a heavily modded android 2.3, which does no good for anything, so I suggest that you root it with the KFU, install TWRP, and load up Ice Cream Sandwich, or Jellybean on it. I have twa_priv's latest CM10 jellybean custom ROM with the leaked 4.2 Gapps installed, and it does wonders! If you think that you would prefer a more vanilla ROM, I would go with Hashcode's; it is really good too.
Anyway, back to your dilemma/question: can you run Adobe Photoshop mobile products? the answer is yes; however, (at least for me, as my KF is not cloaked as a Galaxy Nexus) the Play store says it is incompatible. So I decided to do a google search of the latest apk, and downloaded it. Once I moved it over to my KF, it took about a minute to install (quite long, so don't worry that it isn't doing anything). I opened it up, and it works just fine. No crashes or anything; and it is a very good app, I think, after just playing with it for about 10 minutes.
So your answer is yes: first root and ROM your KF, then google search the latest apk and install it.

Has anybody managed to get this working on the Kindle Fire?
It is an app so that people with a SKY Subscription (UK Satellite service) can watch television programmes online.
The description says it is only compatible with:
HTC Desire
HTC Desire S
HTC Desire HD
HTC Incredible
HTC Sensation
Samsung Galaxy S
Samsung Galaxy S II
I would imagine something in the build.prop would need to be altered since its only compatible with those devices. I have not seen a working version around, but the news is still pretty fresh.
Sky Go on Kindle Fire
I downloaded the lastest version of SkyGo from another mirror respect play store but the app didn't recognize that the kindle is connected to the wifi-spot and ask me to connect it..
Someone soved this problem?
sky go will only work if you change the build prop to say Galaxy Nexus instead of "Amazon Kindle Fire" and change amazon to say google in the build description. Also it will not work on rooted kindles, so after making the change to the build prop you will need to unroot, it doesnt work if you have a custom rom either lol. alot of ifs and buts. so to sumarise.... you need stock rom rooted, change build prop as per above, and unroot after build prop has been modified.
Hello all,
I was thinking of putting Kindle Fire HD's in my store for people to use. I already use iPads and have them Jailbroken to lock anyone down from changing/installing/deleting anything.
I use these enclosures, for the iPads, on the tables. And they make an enclosure for the original Kindle Fire, but I would be using the Kindle Fire HD. The iPad's are too expensive.
Now what can I do to keep users from accessing the settings and installing/deleting anything? Also no in-app purchases. Are there any mods or apps that can do this? I know the iOS can.
You can add a user and limit what they can get to.

You could use this app:

Not sure of it works on the stock os or not since I'm running a standard kf2 on CyanogenMod.
Honestly not even sure of this is exactly what you are looking for.
Also- you can turn off in app purchases on cyanogenmod (aosp).. Again, not sure if it works on stock.
Not sure how savvy you are w android devices so unable to tell you if YOU can do it.
Edit: in a business environment you MIGHT be better off w the nexus 7

Ok. Just followed your link for the cases. I think the app you would want is this:

The Optimum app from Cablevision allows subscribers of their TV service to watch on their laptops, tablets, and smartphones, as long as they're in the house with the device connected over local Wi-Fi. There are versions for iPhone, iPad, Windows laptops and Android devices, although not all Android devices are supported.
One of the devices that is supported is the Kindle Fire. I installed the app on my KF (second generation) and was enjoying it. Today I installed the latest stable version of Cyanogenmod (10.1.2-otter2) and re-installed my apps including Optimum. How disappointed I was to find that the app will not run on my Kindle Fire with the new ROM. After all it's the same hardware! I would hate to lose this app because otherwise, it looks like a solid ROM and I have the utmost respect for Hashcode. I would hate to go back to the Amazon interface.
Anybody know of any tricks or tips to get the app and the ROM to play well together? (Temporary unroot did not work.)
Thanks.

I realized that I should have installed the Kindle Fire flavor of the app (the one from the Amazon store) instead of the one from the Google Play store. So I booted as stock, copied the apk file to the sdcard directory, then booted CM10 and installed from the sdcard. That didn't work either.
From the very brief search I did on xda it appears that you will need to make changes to your build.prop file to get it to work.
You will need to do the research yourself since I'm not sure the EXACT lines that need to be changed. But search xda for "optimum cablevision"
And you will see others who have had similar issues with their devices.
Be sure to make a backup before you start tinkering... Since that's what it will involve- tinkering.

SOLVED: Optimum app on Cyanogenmod
Tinker I did, after reading about build.prop in a number of places. I used adb to dump build.prop to my computer (so it would be easy for me to read), restored to stock, and dumped build.prop again. I needed to change only one value, ro.product.model, to the value that it was in the stock Kindle, which was KFOT.
My first attempts resulted in being stuck at the spinning Cyanogenmod splash screen. My mistake was editing build.prop in the computer and pushing it to the Kindle using adb. What worked was editing the file on the Kindle, a bit clumsier for me. I used Ghost Commander to do the editing.
So far, no problems with any apps and the new value of ro.product.model.

Kudos for sharing. I haven't the need for the info but you just helped someone else, I'm sure.

indeed you did. Had been struggling to get my Evo 4g working with optimum but this seems to have done the trick. Thanks so much for following up.
Hey guys. I have the kindle fire but it's not the HD. I know it's not a 1st gen cause it has the black metal strip accross the back of it with the speakers in it on either side. And it has 1gb of ram, not 512. I want to flash a Android Rom to it but all the vids I find on Youtube are all showing A different version from the kindle i have (presumably the 1st gen). Can someone help me out and point me in the direction I need for the files I need for my specific Kindle?
P:S The model number on it is X43Z60 if that helps any.

I managed to get CM11, Android 4.4.4, on this Kindle but it reboots constantly. About 6 times a day when I'm using apps.
