Hi,
there is said to be a tablet version for 7" tablets.
Could someone of you install Flipboard and mail me the apk?
Thanks a lot!
(You can save the apk file with FileExpert for example)
I'm not aware of any tablet versions of Flipboard. Do you have any references?
I wrote them and they said they have a 7" version.
If you mean that the devs told you that directly, then they should also be able to tell you where to get it, and I'd imagine that they would make it available on the Play Store. I'm going to assume that you asked them something along the lines of "Is there a version of Flipboard for 7" tablets?" and they said yes, but what they really meant was that Flipboard works on 7" tablets and there's only one version.
I do not want to discuss this further.
If anyone has it, I would really appreciate if she/he could send it to me.
End of story
No discussion needed, just ask the dev again.... then u know for sure because I also think they misunderstood u....

I just looked on the Play store and it says it's Flipboard is compatible with my Nexus 7. Is the Play store version not the one you want?
I guess it may not be downloadable/available in certain countries.
Have you tried the apk from this thread?

Does it offer a landscape layout? Then yes this is what I want!

Yeah I just tested it and it's portrait only at the moment. On the bright side--cool app! Never tried it before.
It looks like 7" is where they draw the line between phone and tablet currently and tablets arent supported yet. As a new user I cant post links here yet but if you go to the official flipboard support page and enter searchterm "tablet" you can see where i got this from and add your voice to the requests.
There is a workaround using some rotation control app but feel free to add to the thread asking for a tablet version.

Today I was playing with the XOOM at the Verizon store and I did not find Launcher Pro at the Market store, do you know why ?, is Google filtering the apps that are not Android 3.0 compatible from the Market ?, thanks
android market is filtered by device type. so you won't see apps that are not compatible with your device. someone correct me if i'm wrong, but this is how it is.
Launcher Pro sucks on the Xoom, IMO. I side loaded it from my Droid, then deleted it, waste of time.

This is true. Believe it does the same thing for devices held back on 2.1 or 1.6 etc. and apps that only work on 2.2+

Search is your friend, a link to the developer web site or beta .apk was posted somewhere in here.
Sideloading the cell phone version is a fail, but I understand the in development tablet version is pretty slick.
Or failing that a google of the developer web site will lead you to what you want.
How can I check if an app will work with my rom? I have downloaded The Sims 3 and it closes after EA logo. And there are several versions of the same app. SOme of them are with different resolution, but some are different not by resolution. How to check and make them working?

Sign into the market (I refuse to call it the 'Play store') on your phone and then go to the market via the tabs on Google, and when you check out an app it should say 'this app is compatible with all of your devices' or something like that.

Thats a good way to check but I've found a lot of apps that "the market" says wont work actually work just fine. Infact I installed (where's my droid) and the market said it wouldn't be compatible so i had to install it via my SD card. I've never had a problem with it though and it works great.
I'll still call it the market as well. lol. Where the heck they get the name "Play Store" from anyway.

Yeah, you have to clear the market app's cache. The "market" looks at your DPI and then says "yep this app will 'work' with your device" or "nope sorry" and since we have a non native android device, one must use the Hacked DPI market or use a stock DPI setting. You should read me or me for a better understanding of the issue. Just search the thread if you want more reading material whilst your on the throne oh and i think they called it the "play store" because you can now play online with friends. Like you can with xbox live and PSN. Before you could just share scores. now with certain games we can play head to head. Its pretty cool but didnt need a whole changing of the market name -.-
OK, but what if app should work, but it closes after logo? I am talking about non-googleplay apps, downloaded from internet (I don't like doing this, but I prefer download and check first). Are they bad-cracked or just bad version?
And what are the differences between this https://play.google.com/store/apps/...wxLDEsImNvbS5lYW1vYmlsZS5zaW1zM19yb3dfcXdmIl0. which is compatible and this https://play.google.com/store/apps/...SwyLDEsImNvbS5lYW1vYmlsZS5zaW1zM19uYV9xd2YiXQ.. which is not? How to check what is the version of that compatible one?

Both links are from the "Play Store" p) but I think they are the same, however I don't understand why the first one is higher in price yet smaller in size. On the other hand, the second one is exactly the opposite, higher in size but cheaper in price. The second one is a higher version. (Shouldn't they have the same version ? )
Also, are you on ICS? If yes, I can presume that is the issue.
Being on ICS, without HWA, makes most apps not work (properly).
Nope, I have Dorimanx, no ODEX.

Well they are both the same app. However, one is older than the other. My guess is the Developer lost/forgot password? Or they didnt feel like updating the current app and rewrote it from ground up and released a new one. As far as downloading the app from the internet, thats a huge gamble as to if it will work or not. Saying the downloaded one wont work could be anything from faulty code to someone cracking it wrongly (BTW HACKED SOFTWARE 'WAREZ' IS NOT PERMITTED ON XDA) so just be carefull as to how deep into discussion we get. But i would not trust downloaded apps. I would trust the market app.

Btw i have the same ROM. And using my phone, a search for the Sim 3 game in the "Play Store" results with the 6.99 priced app version 1.0.47 and it says it IS compatible. I can not even find the other app.
Yeah, but You see - I don't have credit card, my father has, but I don't want to ask him ("Don't waste money" )... And I prefer checking app before buying it. If I could pay by sms/debit card, then I would buy some of them

Haha i understand completely youre not alone. My father is the same way. However, XDA does not allow discussion of warez torrents and illegal things as such. I dont want xda to be shut down because of them, i would most likely cry if they did! :'(
You are on your own with downloading illegal apps :/ its pretty much hit or miss with them as well. Like for my bro's iTouch jailbroken, some apps from installus will do exactly as you said, close after the logo. That usually means the app itself is broken. Thats all im gonna say about illegal apks
Best way is to use free alternatives OK, thanks. I've just wanted to know if it is app's (both market and web one) fault or just it's downloaded version. I'll buy some
In this video, I go over the camera, video playback, audio books, and a few other fun items.
Before you ask....
Yes, I loaded apk files on here that you would not normally be able to get from Amazon's Appstore. Most worked with no problems.
Nice review... the best that I have seen so far (inc the Verge etc)
Hey just wanted to say thanks for the review. I was on the fence about this and you sold me with the side loading ability. I loved the original Fire, and was looking forward to this. But after reading a few posts about it being locked, and now knowing if it will be rooted I was no longer sure about it. So side loading makes a huge difference.

Have you tried side loading the Play Store APK?[/QUOTE
The Play Store requires files to be manually placed into the /system/app folder and the permissions to be changed. That requires root. All of the other apps were either grabbed from my Nexus 7, or found elsewhere. I downloaded ES File Explorer from the Amazon Appstore, and used it to install the apks.

Thanks for the great review !
The two apps I'm most interested in getting to work on a Kindle Fire HD are Google Maps and Google Now. I know there's no gps but I assume there is some kind of wifi based location ability ? Or just tell Google Maps where I am.
I figure maps shouldn't be too hard, what do you think ? I guess Google Now might require rooting though, is that the case ?
The device itself is pretty sick. But it's still stuck in Amazon's crappy software. It's like putting rims and ground effects on a Pinto; either way, it's still a Pinto.
Thanks for the review - I would like to see how the ComiXology app works but the fact that sideloading works takes a great load off my mind.
I'm definitely going to save up for the 8.9".

None of the Google Apps are going to work until we get root.

A lot of developers haven't updated their apps to work with 4.2 yet. Might be the issue in your case.

Same. It seems like a JB 4.2 issue. Other people in the app comments have noticed it too.

Because stock price without regards to volume means absolutely everything. You must be a Starbucks customer, as you certainly have the intellect of one.
Why do people pay so much for a cup of garbage. I can get a can of coffee for the same price as you pay for two cups.

I just installed Cyanogen Mod 10, which is only 4.1.2, and I can't reinstall the app either.
I don't think it's just a 4.2 issue, as people keep posting. Any other ideas?
Like the brand or not, some of us like the app. Help would be appreciated.

And, as I just stated before you, I am not ON 4.2 yet, and I am having the same issue.
***UPDATE***
Okay, so, I am still on CM 10 (STILL Android 4.1.2)
I side-loaded the Starbucks APK 2.2.3 (the newest, as of this posting) and it seems to work fine.
HOWEVER, the Play Store shows that it is installed, but still gives me a warning that the app is not compatible with my phone. Doesn't show the normal buttons for Uninstalling or Opening, so I'm assuming it won't Update as normal, either.
Side note: all other apps have seemed to work perfectly on my copy of this build, including Groupon and a side-load of Google Wallet. Not sure what the deal is.

Just to add on to this: using the re loadable card allows for free refills on coffee and iced coffee as long as you're there. Great for when you're doing homework; just buy a small and get unlimited.
So when the hell is Starbucks going to update their app?!?
Thank you for posting the .APK buddy.. it works just fine on 4.1 but it crashes on 4.2 i really hope starbucks updates its app soon, as i use it a lot

I'm not sure if this is the section to ask under but here goes nothing.
The ouya store version of the crunchyroll app supports HD streaming but the Google play store version of the app does not. I was wondering if it was possible to back up the ouya version and install it on another android device. For example the asus transformer which uses the same tegra 3 chip as the ouya. Or just any phone or tablet since ouya just runs a skinned version of android.

According to Crunchyroll staff, it is the same app on OUYA and Android, and it just runs in tablet mode on the OUYA. It seems like I remember reading that HD in phone mode is not supported yet. It could be that it doesn't correctly detect HD support on all tablets, either.
Damn, well it was worth a shot. I'm so damn tired of waiting for HD support.
