Anyone got the latest version of the silk apk?

I extracted this today: https://1drv.ms/u/s!AjlFvM-kUCwh_Wf6JFN001YhMAJF

Thanks, works like a champ!
BTW its version Silk-Browser_65.3.1.3325.144.30.apk
Thanks a bunch.

Hi,
Someone can extract and post latest version plz
Thanks in advance

I requested the same thing. No one here ever helped. Development for the fire TV is pretty dead. Someone at aftvnews finally filled the request on one of their threads. Everyone here is pretty lazy.

Yesterday I was uploading it but my modem died, here it is for ya
https://mega.nz/#!3egTwJ4B!O2SzNFoSlgQYoM9YlaFXv7NHWZHfcaqXgrXENRVuB7A
However, development is dead cause of the super strict Amazon policies to make the stick unrootable and unmodifiable, even the launcher can't be modified, and every update make things worst...

Thank you.
That is version 68.4.2.3440.85.30.
Is that the newest version since the rebranding?

Edit: nevermind. I can see from the Amazon website that this is indeed the latest version.

Tumblr incompatible on Play Store. Sideload? apk request.

The Tumblr app is listed as incompatible on the Play Store and won't install on my N7. It lists Jelly Bean fixes in its latest release. Tried remote install from a PC, but it's not compatible there either.
Does anyone have the latest Tumblr apk for people to try and sideload?
I'm not sure the Titanium backup method will work for me since my phone is running Gingerbread.
edit: I forgot to say that I don't have root yet either.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!

Any ROOT for Gigaset QV1030 ?

I am searching desperately but I can't find a root for it anywhere. Tried Framaroot, Towelroot so far.
Any ideas? :/
Framaroot says: "Your device seems not vulnerable to exploit included in Framaroot"
Towelroot says: "This phone isn't currently supported"
bump
Anyone? :/
This is really important. Any information about it would be very valuable
Hallo,
I have rooted it with Towelroot without Problem
QV1030 Root
Hi
I have rooted it with Towelroot without any problem.
But you have to use Towelroot v1. :laugh:

also, there is one rom on the same forum, but (afaik) it's just like the original debloated rom...
to anyone who follows this thread - there is an almost fully working android 5.0.2 for this tablet on android-hilfe forum...

the link to the german forum for qv1030 is
http://www.android-hilfe.de/gigaset-qv1030-forum/
- turning some browser translate plugin from german to english works quite well for basic understanding
and the link to the latest cm12
http://spartaner25.github.io/android_device_quanta_fg6q/
- scroll to the bottom for the download links and changelog
- the latest version is 17-04-2015 (which i'm using)
- there is also a link to cm12.1 in the forums, but it's way from stable and usable
you have to be rooted with cwm to flash cm12...
you can root this tablet with towelroot (but only with towelroot version 1)

I just got my tablet and it's pretty much unusable out of the box. Super laggy and you cant even watch 1080p videos via Youtube. Is that just me or something that everyone experienced? I'm looking to return it as it is now, but I'm still curious if there is anything I can do about it!

i had no problem watching full HD videos in MX player...
i think there is some media driver pack mentioned in the forum that can be installed to inproove the hd videos (it works for mx player, don't know about youtube - but i don't have problems watching anything on youtube though)
did you try to root it?
there is also a BBR rom in the german android-forums which is almost like stock rom but cleaned and optimized a bit...
the biggest problem for this tablet is lack of the official support (they made it, and then forget it) and custom kernel that would sort things right...
my kudos to the german people from android-forums that gave a bit of life to this tablet with cm12...

Hi, I have tried installing CM 12 from CWM Recovery but I keep getting an error. I don't understand German so I just download the ROM and put in root folder. Then try to install zip from Recovery. Am I missing something? Thank you

Installing Android TV Launcher/Play Store on 5

Theoretically, we should be able to install the Android TV Launcher, and install the associated Play Store now that we're on Lollipop (well, some of us). Anyone succeeded yet?

Have you gotten it yet? I posted in another thread I don't even have 54.1.2.2 yet.
I'd think leanback launcher would work but doesn't OS 5 have its own version of leanback? I know the kindle looks dramatically different, eliminating the scroll wheel and looking a lot more like traditional android.

Did you try it yet? I tried a couple of versions they didn't work. What's strange to me is it seems to install without any problems (no error message) but then it won't open and it doesn't appear in the apps section. I'm using fire stick.

Same here. I installed the Leanback Launcher and I know it's there because LLama sees it. Doesn't do anything though. I haven't tried installing all the other Google Play services though. Probably depends on those.

Yes. That might help. If I get a chance I'll try it &report back.
Update--play services alone didn't work. Play services DID install and it runs but we may need framework. Someone with experience getting that to work on non rooted devices might be able to add support. My aftvs are rooted and haven't tried much with stick.
Leanback Launcher on Fire TV 2
Has anyone tried to install the Leanback Launcher on the Fire TV 2? Now that the Fire TV is on OS 5.0 is there a way to mod the launcher to work with the Fire TV 2. Leanback Launcher could be a nice alternative on the Fire TV 2.
thanks
Have you bothered reading other threads in this very same troubleshooting section lol! It has been done already and is possible but it requires more than just installing the Play Store APK... you need xposed, certain xposed modules, twrp, open gapps and a customer launcher etc. at this point in time... Look for the question in this thread that is titled similar to your post.

Got the leanback launcher to come up after installing rbox's firetvmods and reboot. It appears to be a somewhat striped down version and doesn't load Recommendations. It isn't showing settings either. I'm gonna keep at it though because I feel like I might be getting close....lol
IT is hard to do it,now im try to do it
See this https://forum.xda-developers.com/fire-tv/general/project-aftv2atv-t3489239
Its working amazing, @peleg is working on even getting other things working. I have been running it for last week and no plans going back to Amazon launcher.

miuiv8 rom x720 and x727

Hello everyone.
by browsing the various forums Leeco, I fall on the Roma miui v8 for Leeco the PRO3 x720 latest version of 02.11. it should also run on the x727.
apparently it is stable and all works. by cons I do not know that language is supported.
I have not tried, if someone wants to go here is the link.
sorry for my English.

People seem to forget the rule for posting in the development thread.
'If you didn't create it yourself, it doesn't belong in the development thread'
This should be in the general section. So is the other thread that is in the dev section.
I would also warn everyone of flashing roms found in random places. They could brick your device. ROM could contain virus, spyware, etc.

That's already as functional as the N based roms on my X Pure before it smashed it. Hope development continues for it on the LP3. Miui is pretty cool. Not that it needs it on this phone but Miui always gave me the best battery life (particularly standby) vs anything else even vanilla android.

I saw that rom too and I wanted to download it, but I really don't know how. I signed up on that forum, but it seems that you need to install a Baidu client to download the file (which requires another signing up). The fact is that I can't sign up on Baidu.
Did you manage to download the rom? If yes, do you have a download link to share?

Start in the SuperR's Kitchen Forum first. There should be all the info you need there. There is a free version you should try first in the man Kitchen forum to give it a test run.
