Amazon instant video custom rom?

Ok so I know that as of right now it won't play due to the Hd codec not working yet on the custom roms. what I'm wondering though is how do we even install the app on powerpoints or hashcodes roms, is this possible yet. The app force closes when I try to run it.

you can still access the website through the default browser. when the hd codec gets working the videos will play. as an aside this is also how you could run amazon instant video on a phone running android

Smart Dock and Netflix.

Did anyone figure out how to play Netflix on tv in full screen. On my tv looks shrunk to 4x3 instead 16x9. Is there any solution?

There is an app that will force landscape or portrait mode, I think that may be what you're looking for. It'll force the device to rotate, even though the dock holds it upright, thus using the full width of the HDTV.

Thanks for reply. My problem is that Netflix plays fine on note, but when connected to smart dock only Netflix main menu comes up in full screen. When playing video picture is shrunk horizontally. Other players and youtube play perfectly in full screen. It must be error in app itself.

I don't know if this will help but here is the link to the app, I believe, muqali is talking about. It's a paid app but has a free trail. Check it out. It might help..great app for TW ROMS btw.

Thanks everyone. I read some user opinions about Netflix app in Play Store and looks like I'm not the only one with that problem. It appears that problem is within Netflix app. Forcing rotation doesn't change anything. I need to wait for netflix to fix that.

[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?

Kindle refuses to open

After I installed Google play and updated Google service, now when I try to open the kindle app it just goes to the home screen (adw)
Is this a known issue?

I have Kindle working just fine on my OTA updated US unlocked Fire phone with Google Play Store reinstalled.

Thanks for confirming.
Mine is not rooted... or I forgot... don't use this phone much.
Anyone knows how can I reinstall it? There's no kindle app on Amazon store. Man Amazon really dropped the ball on whatever android experience they were going for... I might just try to install the one from play store
Ah wait, if yours rooted that means you're on a much older version of fire os. Mine was bought late so I have the last version

Hi, gcbxda. My Fire Phone is not rooted. I moved to 4.6.1 a few days ago. Just a shot in the dark - try clearing cache, etc. Go to settings, applications and parental controls, manage applications, set the filter to all, select Bookstore.

My Unlocked 4.6.1 phone has 2 Amazon kindle icons now. App info says Book store ver. 2.2.2000429100 which opens fine and works, and the 2nd is Amazon Kindle ver. 1.5_1357580710 which does nothing like you described. Weird part is the first one has no name under it.

Mine is the same as your first one. It says Books under the icon. I think this one came with the phone, but it may have been automatically updated in Google Play Store.

aha. yeah. i have two icons as well. in pretty sure i never installed from Google store. it must be how the annoying fire home screen works. somehow it needs those two apps and hide from the user... which other launchers do not do.
