Downloaded Plants vs. Zombies via the Amazon Appstore (free today, but not the HD version) to my TF, and went through the install. Got an error that there's insufficient space for the install, but the game actually installed and runs fine.
Just FYI, really. I'm thinking there's still some confusion for apps around how Honeycomb exposes so much space. PvZ is a 75MB download, so maybe that has something to do with it.
Decided to try this one out this morning. I did not have any error's pop up during the install. I must say this is apparently a port and not optimized for tablets yet. Game play is smooth enough however the graphics are not crisp and looks like the image has just been scaled to fit the screen.
Right... I just found the error interesting. I'll probably uninstall the game itself and wait for the HD version.

Im having the same problem but I cant get the game to install on my X10 running android 2.1. It says insufficient space, free up some space. But I have plenty of space. Not sure what to do about it.........
Anybody else having this problem??
just try google around and download the HD version for lenovo Lepad, that works 100x better than amazon version with much higher resolution and sharper graphics.
not sure how long the exclusive deal with lenovo will last and by no means piracy should be encouraged..but for now..this is the only choice..
I have the same problem in my X10 running android 2.1... 200mb free!
I too am having difficulty installing the file. Even deleted programs from the phone, phone not SD, to free up almost 200 megs of space, still no luck.
Running rooted 2.1 on epic 4G
Now I don't feel so alone, has this error ever appeared before for anyone on any other software install?
Funny thing is, PvZ installed no problem on my Epic, and it had only about 120MB left when I started the install. Weird...

Worked Perfect for me. Installed fine and no Error
So apparently it's a phone software thing, not the file off Amazon, tried downloading that file in apk format from a "source", still a no go on install, still get the "out of space, Plants vs Zombies could not be viewed. Free up space on your phone and try again" error.
Update, put the file I downloaded from the "source" on a friend's unrooted Epic 4g running 2.2 and it installed fine, ran fine.
I was reading this article on gottabemobile.com About XDA porting the Netflix HD app to the Galaxy Nexus..and I thought, umm why don't I try that on my Note....Installed the APK from their link...OMG BEAUTIFUL. I started up the New Star Trek Movie, awesome, the old Star Trek, awesome again...the interface is a bit small as its made for tablets I guess, but just pull your stylus out and there is no problem here!
On one small note. I used Chrome to Phone to send myself the APK link. After I got the APK link I also got bombarded with spam links via Chrome to Phone on my notification bar. I had to uninstall Chrome to Phone after 12 notifications about "Hot Girls" I'm guessing this is almost like uncontrolled. pop ups on the server that was serving the APK file. Hopefully I can re-install it with-out the spam, as I use Chrome to Phone a lot!
Edit:
Just connected it to my LCD...it does not look like 1080p when compared to running a youtube 1080p video
Well darn...
I actually can't stand the interface. Without the stylus it's very hard to navigate. Very hard. I wish I could switch it back but still keep the high res video.
The normal netflix app on the Note was also very small as I remember from the handful of times I used it before I installed this APK. Though the actually interface does seam just a tad different.
OP are you sure about that?
I was under the impression that Netflix HD only will stream 720p content to OMAP equipped phones at the moment.
I tried the APK on my Note and movies look exactly the same as the regular Netflix App, still looking standard definition to me.
I have no way to confirm that it is actually playing HD. They look great to me. Though I must admit, I only used it a handful of times previously. The APK works and it's functional. I'll try and use the HDMI Out Cable and see if there is any improvident....

don't discount this app just yet. It definitely plays video better than the app i installed it over. I watch a lot of space docs on netflix, and they have looked terrible because of the black "blockiness" problem with the note. This version of netflix looks amazing on the note compared to the one i had downloaded from the market. this fixes one of my only disappointments with my phone!
and it also gives me hope that the video issues can be fixed by software alone!

Can you tell me which APK you are using? I am sure we are using the same one and the picture is not any different to me than the stock. This is definitely not 720P. am I the only one who feels this way? Also I keep seeing people refer to HD content on Netflix. How can we tell which it is? Thanks.

Loving this tablet so far, just don't know what else I should be doing with it. I feel like it's my myTouch 4G all over again, no idea what to. First thing I did was install Minecraft, but I want to know, what do you do with your Galaxy Tab? (Watching porn is not an acceptable answer)
I mostly use it for Netflix, YouTube, browsing, and gaming.

i got mine like, 2/3 hours ago ) i'm trying to test all the bits on this before flashing another rom on it (specially, because I haven't flashed a tablet ever) and i'm still trying to get KIES to work with this (though, i would only sync music, and i use doubletwist for that :d)
already rooted, gonna flash a ROM but I dont know what ROM to flash, all I really want is Cyanogenmod 9.
I only use it for Twitter | Facebook | Angrybirds nuffsaid'
If you use it for anything else , then idk .
oh and root it & add CWM & add a custom-rom .
Root it and add the ad-hoc wifi hack so you can tether to your droid.
As to what to do with it - ebooks. Isn't that what tablets were invented for? LOL
I got mine two-three days ago and first thing I did was root it, installed Overcome's ROM and then just messed with it a bit.
I usually tether my Galaxy S 4G, take my Tab everywhere I go & usually just browse the internet... Facebook, look on Engadget, games, and maybe some pr0n.
I'm starting to use it more than I use my phone, I lurve it. It's my life now!
Surfing and ebookreading. Watching tv shows and movies. Listening to music. Almost the same as on the sgs 1.

Apart from being connected to my inboxes and google reader, I found it great for "mobile" web-surfing with a bigger screen, e-books and pdf reading with repligo, note taking with writepad stylus and freenote.
I use it for my work.....marketing - photo and pdf presentations, keep marketing materials on them for my use, surf the net, read books via the Kindle reader app.
Mine has pretty much replaced my laptop, which is now consigned to mostly being a media server. The only thing I use mine for that hasn't been mentioned is Skype video calling and as a radio, I listen to shows on BBC iPlayer and TuneIn Radio.
I have mine running GalaxyTask 10.0 and I couldn't be happier. Absolutely amazing for a Honeycomb ROM.
Better than my HP Touchpad and all Gingerbread ROMs with the (equality) of Skyraider for the Thunderbolt phone.
Bedside book reader with Nook app (sideloading .epub), web browser, mail client, ski report viewer, Google Talk station, etc.

Running Galaxy Task as well and its a hell of a lot better than the stock ROM, if games could run smoothly then I would be perfectly happy with this tablet.
I do almost anything that I use my desktop/laptop for on my tab. GoToMyPC app connects me to my desktop at work for quick access to files or dropbox access to all my machines. I was like you when I first got mine...soon the question will be what do I NOT use the tab for!
Sent from my GT-P7510 using Tapatalk
I do almost everything except play MW3 and SWTOR on my tab. To the point I probably will go back to a blackberry because I don't use my phone for much, other than to settle arguments here and there with google.
I pretty much use mine for watching movies and web browsing. Netflix and VPlayer are my two movie apps
So i know lot's of people want to know how to get netflix and hulu working on cm9 roms for the fire and i think i have a work around for those willing to spend a few bucks. I've been using a program called Playon to stream news and comedy central to my xbox and droid for years and it works great...so i got to thinking..i wonder if it works on my kindle fire running the 2-24 cm9 rom? I installed the playon app from the market..then i installed mx video player from the market (don't know if it's really needed but i think it runs better than the stock video player) and after a couple of minutes i was watching netflix on my cm9! With some router tweaks i can now watch my shows anywhere there is wifi too! The picture is of course not high def but it plays pretty good considering there is no hw accel being used. Don't know if this helps anyone but just thought i'd put it out there cuz i'm finally able to watch netflix and hulu on my cm9!!!!

Im Bout to cry of over joyness thanks man
No problem man! Glad i could help someone
I installed PlayOn server and the app on my Kindle, but the Kindle wont find my computer? They're both on the same wifi network. Help?
Are you using windows? If so open up the program and restart it. Then reboot your kindle and if it still doesn't work reboot your router. It took my a couple of times to get it to connect on wifi.
I can't seem to get any gameloft games besides 9mm to play. tried about half of them and they crash on boot or won't finish
downloading from gameloft servers due to some error(checked my wifi no problems).
Is there some sort of compatibility list for KF and ICS for games or apps??
If not making one would be cool so people could avoid wastin time downloading **** that doesn't work(like me)
GT Free+ HD works fine.
UNO (Kindle Fire version from Amazon App Store) works fine when restored from Titanium Backup. UNO from the Play store runs, but doesn't work well (touchscreen issues)
I haven't been able to get Asphalt 6 to work (KF version from Amazon store restored from Titanium Backup, nor the Google Play store version)
Shrek Kart (Kindle Fire version from Amazon) doesn't work either from Titanium Backup.
That's all I've tried so far.
KF running gedeROM v1.45
I got Nova 2 HD to work but theres issues with the touchscreen locking inputs in
(aim left and it continues to wave or shoot and doesn't stop)just pausing the game
and unpausing resets it so its not that bad.
Counter strike and Minecraft work too.
The games I have tried haven't been from either store.. torrented them.
Guess I'll start tryin different sources and different Versions and post'em if i get lucky
EDIT::::: I think It might have something with the tablet thinking its a galaxy nexus and the
versions of the apk aren't really compatible with it. Do all versions of ICS show KF as a Galaxy nexus
or do they differ from which ICS was ripped from????
Has anyone had any luck with game console emulators, such as NESoid, SNESoid, N64oid, etc? I tried them last on Hashcode's vanilla release, but they failed to load ALL game roms. I haven't had the chance to try them yet on gedeRom, but I expect the same results since all ICS roms for the Kindle Fire are still in early development.

No, just this ROM masquerades the Kindle as a Galaxy Nexus. Others, like Hashcode's, show it as a Kindle Fire.

Dungeon Hunter 2 crashes after the opening cinematic, even the GTP1000 version which works for CM7. Such a shame. DH3 is boring as hell.
I've just tried NESoid and SNESoid. Both apps work, but when the scaling is set to "Stretched" and used in the landscape orientation everything is extremely blurry. Even the on-screen gamepad controls are blurred. It looks fine in the portrait orientation though. I'm not sure what's causing this...
EDIT: I was going to take a screenshot of the blurry screen to post here, but the screenshot is not blurry at all. So strange...

You have PvZ working in ICS? I've only gotten it to work in GB, what version are you using? For me, it works for about 30 seconds then freezes, which is common for ICS from what I could gather in the PvZ forums.
I am using gederom 1.55, with stock build.prop (ie galaxy nexus).
Works great for me, love that game!
No chainfire.
To the other guy, PvZ is fine on ICS, i dont play it often, but it worked for 1 game on same rom as above. Dunno, ive never had problems, just make sure you use powervr APK. If the market has problems, there is something wrong with the ROM i presume.
Hope ive helped!
