Experimental hardware video decoding builds for Nexus 7
This development is great. Now I can watch 1080p movies via net on my Nexus 7!
Now I use version from 2013.02.19
xbmc-20130219-32e99c7-android-hwaccel-armeabi-v7a.apk
from
http://mirrors.xbmc.org/test-builds/android/
It's more stable for me than the alpha2 from 2013.04.03.
Hope we will get soon Hardware acceleration on standard version xbmc.

Even the navi x plugin works... This is awesome.

I use my N7 to control my htpc/xbmc. No interest in running xbmc on my N7. To me that's just overkill. With a file manager that supports SMB I can watch anything on my NAS within a few seconds. It would have made more sense for these guys to keep the xbmc app the same and simply allow you to play it on your android. I got a mini android PC and tried xbmc on it but an actual PC does a better job period.

I stream several movies not only my PC but my nexus7 as well. They even stream from navi x . to you it may not be worth it or make sense but when you want to watch a movie somewhere or you have a child that wants to watch something while you dip something it is very handy. So makes great sense to me.

Maybe the wrong thread but giving xbmc remote the ability to use the default media player on an android device would be welcome feature. To have the web add on in xbmc also support playback would be great. The default web addon is pretty plain as it is.
Maybe the current dev might see this as a nice and easy feature.

You must not worry about watched status ( or have kids using the TV). Every tv/device in my house has xbmc or openelec on it (including 2 still working Xbox 1s!)

[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.

The best thing you can do is dual-boot.

I find is crazy that a workaround hasn't been figured out, but dual booting isn't something I had thought about so that might work thanks!

Well many people have tried all sorts of workarounds, but Its something in the actual Amazon Videos app that keeps it from working,

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] Need help with CM 10.1 orientation!

Hello!
I would like to thank Hashcode for CM10.1
and thanks to advice from stunts513 I finally got CM10.1 running on my kindle fire HD 8.9 after a brick scare.
Theres this one issue I cant seem to fix,
Any of the gameloft games I play not keep slipping orientation on me . They are in the landscape mode but it just keeps flipping upside down after every pause/resume or every mission etc. The games worked fine on the kindle before rooting and CM and work fine on my apple devices too.
I havent tried other games yet, I pretty much only play a few gameloft ones and this issue is with every single gameloft game I have.
I tried orientation locker but only works in portrait. Does anyone have an advice how to fix this ?
Thanks Alot in Advance! :good:

Try an App called 'Set Orientation' works great for me. It's available in the play store. Says it's for phones, but works great on CM on the KFHD.

Already tried that, doesnt stop game from flipping it.
And its not just gameloft, most of the role playing games are doin it.

Hmm. What did you set it to? Also, if you reboot, you'll have to restart the app, it doesn't automatically start up on a reboot.

I locked it in the orientation i wanted to, works fine outside the game but during the game the screen just flips upside down, even when the tablet is just kept stable on the table, happening with almost all games.
Also If i upgrade to cm 11.0 is there a way to backup my apps or do i need to download them over again?

Instant Video

Can any of you more tech savvy devs pull the instant video app from fire phone so we can try and get it working on other android devices?
The one for Google TV just crashes.
Thanks in advance!

@LockeCPM4 - Here you go. I only pulled the APK file, not sure if it needs any other supporting files but hope this helps.

Thanks so much. Unfortunately it wouldn't install on my Note 3 or LG G3.
In the meantime Amazon finally has instant video for android but I much prefer the interface in the fire phone and iPad to what they officially have for Android.

Extracting Playstation Vue app

I'm 90% sure the answer will be along the lines of either it's impossible, or you would have to edit the app to make it work on android.
But is there a way to extract the Playstation Vue app from the fire tv and run it on your phone?
Is it at least feasible?
TIA

Pretty easy. Back it up with es file explorer and send it to your device. It'll probably install but most likely you'll need amazon app store for it to work. From there I'm not sure. Give it a try

Thanks. I'll try that tomorrow and report the results!
EDIT:
Well, I downloaded it using apps2fire.
It installed on my phone, but when I open the app, it says it's not authorized on this device.
I figured as much.
Guess there's not really much one can do, is there?

That was expected. That's all I know. The app is made to work for fire devices so unless you can trick it into thinking it's running on those...and I don't know that there is. I remember awhile back trying to get a game that was free for fire tv (paid for android) to work and had no luck.

There is a post on xda somewhere which tells you how to put the app on a non Sony device, I done this before on my Motorola xoom & my Samsung S5, after you put the app on you have to change the data & obb files for the app in Android/ to make it work, do a Google search or a xda search & I'm sure your find it.
(Sorry I thought you ment the older the one with the games not the newer app which streams tv)
But maybe this is possible soon? But it looks like if your in the right part of the world at the moment you can get it & even download it from the amazon store
Hope this helps If so press that thanks button

Thanks guys.
It's not really a necessity, more of a curiosity.
Also, deanr1997, I don't think there's an app for Sony devices either.
Far as I know it's iOS and fire tv only, besides ps3 and ps4, of course.

Ah ok, gotcha.
Yeah, it's a real great service. I'm streaming ps4, ps3 and fire tv simultaneously with great picture quality.
I get better channels then I had with dish, and for $55 instead of the $150 I used to pay.
But dish did have a mobile app that I could watch TV on the go.
Not so with psvue.
In any case, it's well worth it.

Just too add a little info about how this limitation might be working. I have 3 firetv devices and one of them is a rooted Fire TV v1. The prerooted stock 5.05 image is not yet available for this device so it is my only device that isn't on the latest firmware. It appears that the VUE app is checking if you are on the correct version of the Fire OS as VUE does not work on my V1 box but works fine on the other two.

I would like to try this but not sure it's available in the UK yet?

can you see what your build.prop looks like on the FireTV? you may be able to just manually edit it to trick the app into thinking it is a different device. What this might do to the rest of the apps however, I am not sure.

Anyone have any luck on this? I was able to install the android tv app on my S5 but it wont find a network for some reason. Would be great to have the fire tv version on a mobile device.

can you help me download kodinolimits i cleared all data from my box when I try to download it it says error check log

I read through the thread, and maybe missed it somewhere, but what exactly are you trying to do with the PSVue app after you extract? Or I guess more iportantly, what is the intent of your post? Outside of the obvious as you stated initially. This thing was a pain in the ass to get going on my rooted firetvs and sticks.
