[Q] Amazon Prime Instant Video on Nexus 7

Anyone who hasn't rooted their Nexus 7 get Amazon Instant Video working on this? I root and try different rom's on my phone (SGS2) like crazy because I don't care about losing access to videos, etc. But I really want the Nexus 7 as a content delivery device and while I really would like the the tablet UI prime instant video would be a good enough reason not to root. Anyone have any luck?

There's already a thread about this.

i love posts like that, if you know there is one wy not post a link?
sorry op, i havent tried, and i havent seen the thread.

I haven't had much luck with Amazon prime video. I can get it to play in a window with dolphin hd and side installing flash. However, the browser crashes on full screen. The Amazon video app doesn't work at all for ics/jb regardless of root.

Questions go in the Q&A section

please search in the future, or just look around as there are at least 3-5 topics regarding amazon/flash.
The Amazon Video On Demand app will not work on ICS or JB.
you can install flash manually with the apk and then install an alternative browser (flash does not work in chrome) reports are that it will crash in fullscreen but aside from that it will work.
oh and seriously. USE SEARCH. 10+ topics about this now.

Works on mine, just had to side load the latest version of flash, then watch in Firefox browser, full screen works fine too.

Call recording?

Any way to activate it? Xposed causes bootloop.

I see the author of the thread in the "Themes and Apps" section about this asked that his thread be deleted. Possibly because (according to the signature) the OP of that thread has a I9500 and not a I9505? Either way, the OP of that thread should explain themselves so people don't mess their phones up.
Anyway, there is an App that I have used with my S2 Skyrocket that works great for recording calls. It has a different interface than the other method, but works well. I have not used this App on my S4 yet, but a couple of the reviews seem to point to the fact that it works well with the S4.
If you want to check it out, here is a link:

I plan on using it. Good luck.
**EDIT**
I see some reviews say it works with the S4 and some claim it does not...(as usual)...so you might want to Email the APK creator about support if you are interested in the App.

Let me know if you install it and it works. Like I said, it has mixed reviews for the S4, some say it works, some say it does not. I have a feeling people aren't setting it up correctly. I will try it when I can get around to installing it, but it might be a few days. Thanks.

Hi,
I tried on my SGH-I337M and it does not work even as root. I tried several other software and it does not work. Is there a way to activate something to record calls?
Thank you!

I Emailed the "Call Reorder" app developer and he said that the "call recorder" app didn't work on the S4 yet. He said it was because of the QUALCOMM chipset and that he was working on it. He said it is working on the Octa version though. Maybe that explains the mixed reviews on the Play website. I have to wonder about it because it initially was not supported on the Skyrocket, yet it has worked for my flawlessly on that phone for me. I wonder if it just has to be set up in a certain way? If anybody gets it working on the AT&T S4, let us know.

I've been using Call Recorder on all my Samsung phones (SGS2, SGS3, Note 2) - I really know it inside-out - excellent app btw. For the moment our phones (SGH-I337(M)) are NOT officially supported and although you it may work on other settings, the sound is terrible (almost unusable). I tried all possible combinations without much success. On the other hand the developer is very quick at updating the app and addressing bugs so there is hope

I flashed my phone with a WanamLite ROM and it's working now

Nottach's Mint Jelly ROM with his Xposed module has it as well.

Stock 4.3 problems fix!!

I originally posted this on the 4.3 discussions thread but its getting lost in the noise.
Try installing (if you already have it, upgrade it) the Chrome Browser for Android from the Google Play site and see if your problem goes away.
I already had Chrome Browser on my S3 and had all the lag and restart issues. The latest version of Chrome Browser (18th Nov) fixed all these issues. I'm not suggesting that this is a 4.3 fix. Its definitely a work around though. Its like I've got a new phone.
Problems that this fixed for me and a few other users are:
Lag after pressing home key or power button from sleep
Random restarts
App crashes
Wi-Fi drop outs

Yes

Polished

I've been using and making custom roms for several years starting back in the Windows Mobile days on the xv6700 and can honestly say this is the first device that I haven't wanted to put a custom rom on. The stock touchwiz UI and included/available samsung software is really polished and the battery life is incredible. I obviously rooted it and fixed a bunch of minor annoyances with xposed framework, but aside from that I don't think I'm going to make/flash a rom unless sprint gets really behind on future android builds.
Anyone else feel the same way?

No. I'd like to try cm or a smoother rom. I get lag on stock.

I agree with the OP on the smoothness... and also with you that a rom or two eventually would be nice.. but how are you getting lag?
Stock Rooted with Xposed and a minor build.prop edit and i have no lag what so ever. Sometimes the phone actually moves faster than what my thumbs were expecting. Just curious.

I should be more specific. The lag tgat I experience is in either Google hangouts, Google now search and sometimes when switching apps from the app switcher. The lag in hangouts and Google search is when I type I gets lots of lag. I've tried different keyboards and they all lag. I've had this same issue on the Note 3 and it only went away when I switched to cm11 for the note 3.

Ah. Gotcha. I always remove Hangouts and i dont bother with the Google Voice/Search. Maybe someone else can shed some light on the issue.

I'm a fan of touchwiz. Like others I get the occasional lag but it isn't nearly as earth shattering as Samsung haters make it out to be.
Xposed has also become my weapon of choice for fixing minor annoyances.
Also I don't use google search but did get a little bit of lag in Hangouts. My problem was the LG G3 keyboard I installed. Since removing it, I haven't noticed the lag as much.

Lolliipop keyboard works fine woth no lag. Never use Hangouts. This 2-3 second lag on the recent apps that some ppl report , i have not experienced. Once i edited build prop after xposed ive encountered no lag anywhere. None. And the battery life is superb.

I think the wanam option under 'security hacks' to 'disable secure storage' fixes the lag too (I believe it basically has the same effect as the build prop edit).
So just install xposed, then the wanam module and go turn on the setting.

Pretty sure you have to download it.

You can download it in the Galaxy Apps

I can't download it from Galaxy Apps because I got a message that it is not available there. Here is a Link for the Galaxy App.
But you can download it from APKmirror.

If you going to Samsung store, then go to the settings you will see my apps click it. Then you will see all click that then look for the surround app

It is my first Samsung device, so I have no surround app there. And the APK from APKmirror is not the last version. :crying:

That linked worked thanks! I used the one from the apps store and it was the latest version. Wonder why you can't download it from the camera app itself like all the others??:silly:

Also if you search in the Galaxy app store for "surround shot" nothing comes up, but if you use the link to the app store page posted above it works. It's like Samsung doesn't want you to find it and use it....weird

Thanks for the link, this is a neat feature I enjoyed using.
Sent from my SM-T710 using Tapatalk

Thank you guys! Interestingly the gallery app doesn't detect photospheres taken with Google Camera as surround shots like it did on Galaxy S6.

I followed the link and get "Product does not exist in this store". Even though the page and install button show.
They must have removed it.
Clearly pushing for the Samsung Gear 360 camera, which I won't buy if I can't try out that sort of thing at lower quality on my phone (S8+ by the way).
Shame.
I will look for an alternative. Don't really want to root my phone just yet though as I have only had it a couple of weeks.

Word - same with my S9. It's insane that Samsung doesn't know how functional this feature is. I'd trade a million AR Selfies for one good photosphere

I fully agree! Why does Samsung get away with calling the AR selfies as a new feature of the S9? Clearly this is merely a software gimmick that has little to do with the new hardware.
If no alternative option becomes available for shooting 360 pics on the S9, I'd like to point out that you can also take that type of pictures using the google streetview app.
just know that you're not alone in this battle
