Develop Bugs

Thinking of porting Defualt Kindle Fire Launcher

Would anyone want this.? Seeing I could just have to figure out which .so files it uses and installing all other amazon apks

I think it would be worth a shot just to have it out there for an option to use .

The Kindle launcher is part of why I went with CM7. I just couldn't stand the "book shelf" interface. If you like it, awesome. I know lots of folks love the KF interface. I just am not one of them.

Do it! This is one of the reason's I only experiment with the kernel and not install CM on my Fire! Unlike the previous poster, I am comfortable with having a different interface from what I usually see on my phone and other tablet.

I just want to be able to use the lending library on other devices and roms such as CM7 and ICS.

Please do!

I really don't like the launcher but would love to use the prime lending library as well.

I have gotten this to work on CM7. It is buggy. Will be done with this within a week. I hope anyway

Heres my nonvote. I do not want the kindle launcher and i will not install or even go near a download link.
Id rather try to steal a front grill off the 1957 chevy down the road and then superglue it onto the front of ny kindle than get a launcher that lets me display my library like some bookworm addict.
Have fun dont bruise your page turning thumb.

I don't think anyone is saying they really like it. It's just a lot of the services depend on it. I really want all the prime services in a different ROM.

I don't know if its just me, but I actually kinda like the stock launcher. Its not BAD, its just different. Are there some things I wish I could change? Sure. But there are things I wish I could change with my Sense UI also. I like the idea of being able to install the stock launcher on different ROM's.
Sent from my myTouch_4G_Slide using XDA App

for what I use it for, I am actually a fan of the stock UI. I think there are a lot I would change as well, but for now, if you get it ported over, things can be added ad removed to the interface as we see fit.

I reallllllly like the stock keyboard. that is the **** I have been looking for. I guess I found out when I flashed Biffys Blaze ROM

I agree, just do it and you'll see how many hits it gets.. I'll bet even the chevy grill guy will secretly try it ..

[Q] Samsung Remote apk (TV remote)

Does anyone have the apk for the latest, v2.2.5, Samsung Remote app? I know it's not officially supported by the gnex but I've just got my first LCD TV (UE40D6530 even though you didn't ask) after having an SD CRT for donkeys and I heard it may work.
By the looks of it it's out there on various random sites but I really don't trust them.

SamyGo Remote works with samsung tv's (UE55 even though you didn't ask ).

Cheers, saw SamyGo but wasn't sure if it was for the newer ones and wanted to compare it to the real deal. Guess I'll just have to use that, my TV doesn't support twin view or dual view or whatever it's called anyway.

Bump as I've got SamyGo which does work but doesn't allow for easy text input, say for searching iPlayer or using the built in web browser.
I've emailed Samsung to request an update to the app so it supports ICS but no idea how long that could take.

Does anyone have a copy they can post? The official Samsung app is the only one that allows you to turn your TV on with Bluetooth and I have heard that the apk works with the galaxy nexus.

Also interested. I have a le40652 possibley meant to have a B in there not sure. I don't think the official Samsung one supports my TV its one year too old, I never got on very well with this whole sammygo swapping TV firmwares I couldnt get it to work.

I tried the app (not connected to the TV), and it seems it's locked to a lower resolution so it won't go fullscreen. I still hope it works with my TV, since even with smaller graphics it is still better then sammygo
/edit: The app works, I've not tried it with Bluetooth only wifi.

can anybody please post a mirror? link to dropbox doesn't work anymore.
thanks

Its 2.2.5

Anyway to change the dpi (make it full screen)

Samsung smartview supports higher resolutions. Try getting that apk

[Q] Amazon Instant Video App

I have a first gen Kindle Fire. Definitely would love to be running a custom rom (running AOKP 4.2.2 on my phone and love it). But the one and only thing keeping me from experimenting is the lack of Amazon Instant Video app. I know this has been discussed at length, but wanted to know if any progress has been made. I am aware I can view videos from the browser, but I prefer the options run videos from the app and download them for it for viewing later if I'm not on wifi. It's one of my favorite features of the Kindle and if I run a custom rom then that is gone. Hopefully some progress has been made, but from a quick search I can't find anything.

Could a separate app be developed that does that? Of course that's coming from me. I can barely install an app much less develop one. But I'd buy more movies and shows if I was able to use it on more devices I own other than just my Kindle.

Well im sure it would be possible to, but im just going to sit and wait until the Kindle line fails, and then amazon releases the app on android.

Can somebody point me in the direction of a thorough how-to for dual booting? Im definitely over this stock launcher.

[Q] Why can't I watch my movies in HD on Google Play Movies with an AOSP ROM?

On every AOSP ROM I've tried, I can't seem to find a way to play my movies from Google in HD or download them in HD. They only play in sd quality. And download a file that's only 200MB prior to the HD file that's supposed to download which is 2gigs+ does anyone else have this problem or found a fix for it? I really like what AOSP has turned out to be but I keep coming back to TW cuz of my movies.

Are you using an AOSP built for the new bootloader (4.4.2)? The new device tree has issues with hd
Sent from my SM-N900T using Tapatalk

Yes I am and even before that I couldn't watch HD movies. It's been like that since the old boot loader
Sent from my SM-G900T using Tapatalk

I had issues with watching HD Google play movies on AOSP with the old bootloader too but YouTube and downloaded videos were fine. Now I only experience the problem with HD on AOSP when on the new builds. I'm still on the 4.3 bootloader so I have the option to choose thankfully. I haven't tried Google play for videos lately though. I just use moviedroid for my video watching needs.
Sent from my SM-N900T using Tapatalk

Hmmm. How did you get it to work on the 4.3 boot loader?
Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk

I haven't had Hd video issues on 4.3 AOSP since way early builds so I can't answer that. It was more a change done to the ROM by the developer.

This is still an issue for me btw.

I'm in the same boat. Luckily, I can at least cast them to my Chromecast, but it does suck not being able to watch them on my device if I'm away from my TV.
I have this issue on both my 2012 Nexus 7 (running CM11) and my Droid RAZR HD (XT926) running CM11, Gummy, etc.
It only works when I'm on stock KK for both devices.
Not sure if it's an issue with AOSP in general (seems to be) or an issue with GAPPs. I don't think it's GAPPs as I've removed and reinstalled Google Play Movies from the Google Play store.
I also notice that I cannot send apps to my phone from the Google Play web page if I attempt to install from the web page.

I'm wondering of its because you're rooted. I remember when Google play movies could not play on rooted devices. I had to use voodoo to unroot & root again to get it to play.

Ummm I don't think so because my note 3 is running a rooted stock ROM but I think it's a kernel issue because I put a custom kernel on my stock ROM and it made google play movies to stop playing completely

I just don't know what is making custom kernels not google play movie friendly

I agree. Under stock, I'm rooted and movies will play. Under non-stock roms, they won't work except via Chromecast.

Yea or anything with a custom kernel. This is the only phone that I have a problem with Google play movies playing. That's why I'm stuck in Stock rooted rom. The only rom that didn't cause trouble for me was wicked

Not sure. But I remember all attempts at watching Amazon Prime Video on android for me were useless (I know the app is out now), tried flash (latest version for ICS and above), and it didn't work. Googled "Amazon Prime Video Android" and somewhere I found it. And ot worked. The link I had downloaded from (someone's Google Drive), says it vioated terms of service.

I've never heard of a hacked version. I'll look into. As far as flash video playback goes the stock android and samsung browser don't or don't fully support flash anymore.

I don't recall whether it was Netflix, Amazon, or both, but at least one of them runs on Microsoft's Silverlight. Not flash.
