Hi, I have sideloaded the Dolphin HD browser onto my Kindle Fire, and it works great, but when I try to add an Addon, I get the message that the addon isn't available on the Amazon App store. Is there a way to sideload addons, or some other work around? My Kindle Fire is not rooted.
Thanks!

Basically the only way to get them would be to extract the apk file from a phone and just sideload it.
or find it online, but i really wouldnt suggest it unless you trust the uploaders

I have already sideloaded the apk files for the addons, but I don't know where to put them on the kindle so that Dolphin HD picks them up. Perhaps I have to manually edit a config file to tell Dolphin HD where they are? I have been looking on the net for an answer, but haven't found one.
Figured it out. Didn't realize that to install the addon, I just have to run it. Here is where I found the info needed, by the way.....

hey everyone, i have two kindle fire's. I recently rooted one and the other is still stock. i was wondering if anyone knew if it were possible to download a "kindle fire edition" game from the stock kindle and sideload/back it up on the rooted device. Might be a noob question, since i have no idea if you can even back up a amazon appstore app since i believe it doesn't actually deliver an apk when you install. any help/info would be appreciated. thanks.
I'm also open to any other methods of loading kindle fire edition apps on a rooted device if anyone knows of any...
I am assuming that you have tried to download the app directly from the Amazon store onto your rooted KF and for some reason it didn't work. So try using ES File Explorer. Put it on the unrooted KF. Back up the game using ES. That will create an apk file, then transfer the apk file to the rooted KF and install.
Sent from my Amazon Kindle Fire using xda premium
Interesting
I wasn't even aware i could use es to backup and create apk's... i'll try that a little later. thanks for the info.
nope
no luck. tried a couple different apps and neither worked... could have something to do with the drm on gameloft's games though. might try again with something else. if i have a recovery image of stock kindle and a recovery of cm7 can i switch to stock via twrp install, backup then recover to cm7? would that maybe work?
You can sideload games just fine on a KF. The problem is the DRM won't allow you to launch the games unless the second KF is also linked to your amazon account.
You can link your Android device to your Amazon account through Kindle reader...it might work to get around the DRM.
good to know... thanks for the info. just had a case of wishful thinking i guess. its not that hard to switch between recovery img's though. thanks
I just ordered an Amazon Fire TV with the intention to install XMBC along with add ons. What is the quickest and easiest way to get XBMC on to my AFTV? Do you recommend to root it or not? Is there a link that will show you how to do all this and install add ons?
You can sideload XMBC without root. If you can root and wish too, everything you will every need up until today is here: http://www.aftvnews.com/
I just got my Fire TV and I would like to get instructions on what softwares and tools are the ones needed to root the device and get XBMC on the device. Im new to rooting and Forgive me if you have seen this question many times.
You don't need root to install Kodi/XBMC.

Does it limit XBMC functionality if you do not root?
My assumption is that XBMC works just like any other app on Fire TV

It doesn't.
Wondering if anyone is able to use SpectrumTV with their Fire Stick? I haven't been able to find any current apks that will work. Thanks for any advice.
