[Q} Amazon Instant Video App? - Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I know that one of the main reasons for the current Amazon Instant Video apk not running on most devices is that it has to be a Jelly Bean device, if I am not mistaken. Since the Kindle Fire HD is based on Android 4.0.3, can we expect to see a working ICS, possibly JB apk?

[Q] What Rom Should I Get?

I Love ICS On The Kindle Fire But I Bought My Kindle For Video Watching What Is My Best Option Besides Stock?
I think most of the roms out are capable of video playback if I'm not mistaken.
I'm loving the AOKP rom. Yet to try the other roms. Don't seem to catch my attention as much.
Hellfire CM9 ICS is the best in my opinion. Hardware acceleration works great so no problem with videos.

I haven't been able to get the Xfinity TV player working on Vicious JB. Does it work on any JB ROM?

In the play store, it lists that there is a problem with jellybean and the next update will fix it. It doesn't say when the update is coming.
It did not work on Xoom Team EOS JB rom as well. I had to come back to ICS.
I have audio but black screen. I believe because this app is flash based and JB does not support it.
I know some users complained about HBGO android app ins't working as well.

[Q] App from the Kindle Fire to work on Jelly Bean?

I want to use the New Yorker magazine app that is exclusively on the kindle fire, and I want to use it on my Galaxy Nexus. I put the apk on my phone and installed it, but when I open it, it forces closes. Is there any way to get this app (from the kindle fire) to work on Jelly Bean?
I had the same problem with the Wired Magazine app. Subscribed.
Considering how much stuff Amazon has changed on the Kindle Fire, I wouldn't be surprised if the apk has been made specifically for it and won't work on any other device.
Amazon apps generally do not work on stock Android. Amazon forked Android for it's own purposes and does not belong to the Open Handset Alliance which stipulates how apps should be coded to ensure uniformity across Android devices.
Wired version 2.7 and higher run on JB. You need to make sure you have amazon app store installed. Also, buy the free wired magazine app from amazon (it will be listed as incompatible but buy it anyway).

Can you or somebody upload or pm me with the apk? I have the print subscription but cannot download the apk from Amazon store as my country is blocked, yet Wired say I am entitled to the tablet version... So far I have only found 2.2

Miracast on Kindle Fire 1 (Rooted)

Hey,
I was wondering if technically will the Kindle Fire (1st Gen) ever be able to support Miracast.
For those that don't know, Miracast was added to Android 4.2 for the Nexus 7/10, and is a response to AirPlay.
I know it will take a while for Android 4.2 to be ported to the Kindle Fire (1st Gen), but I am curious if anyone knows if any Hardware constraint, mainly the GPU, will stop our wonderful Fires from having this feature.
If not, this might finally push me over the edge to buy a Nexus 7.
Thanks!
Wait for Android 4.2 to get realsed and then see.
Sorry for bump this old theme and my poor english... but... i recently flashed the ROM CM11.0/SGT7 in the hope that there appear miracast and i can use my KF with PTV3000. To my great regret the tablet cant see miracast adapter :crying:
Reading some forums i noticed that the problem could be in the CM11... maybe somebody know any ROMs where mirasat is working or some fix for CM11?
Chromecast
I have have Chromecast but some apps is not compatible on KF 1 stock ROM.
Chromecast is better the Miracast.
install web video caster on it..parse error ..using android phone to cast web video html on chrome browser.
I will installs CM11 on rooted KF ! later

MoDaCo custom ROM for Kindle Fire HD 8.9?

I am purchasing a demo Kindle Fire HD and would like to root it and install a custom ROM, specifically one like i have on my original Kindle Fire, the MoDaCo custom ROM. The reason? I like having access to all my Amazon purchases along with my Play Store purchases? Main reason I need both is I purchased Order & Chaos Online from the Play Store and the Amazon store and only the one from the Amazon Store works on the original Kindle Fire, the one from the Play Store installs but crashes to desktop, no matter what ROM I installed. That is why I must have both so I can install the Kindle Fire version from the Amazon store.
Is there a MoDaCo for Kindle Fire HD 8.9 or something similar?

Short answer NO. Long answer, the primary development for the HD 8.9 appears to have fallen on the very capable shoulders of Hashcode. At the present time his work is in early Beta, No sound, No camera, other issues besides requiring you jump through a few hoops to install. I would recommend that you root your Kindle, and live with that for the short term.

You have two choices, stock OR CM 10.1 without sound, hdmi and 4g.
So stock is full featured?

LOLOLOL... OH God... oh man... If that was a joke, it was funny one.
Just updating this thread as Hascode's build is getting its way near perfection by the day.
Camera, audio, MIC and Bluetooth are working now.
It is not complete yet for sure but is definitively a daily driver and way better than Amazon stock.
