I've been trying to get a hold of the apk for the Fire TV version of Adult swim app but heard that it still doesn't work for shield. Does anyone have this working?

I recently purchased a Nexus 7, which I understand to have the same resolution as a Kindle Fire HD 8.9". I used to be able to run the Wired APK from the Amazon app store, but the old version of the APK that I have force closes on my Nexus 7. Would someone be willing to download the Wired app from the Amazon App Store on to their Fire HD (I don't believe the specific size model matters), and upload or email me the APK so I can sideload it?
I can't download the app directly since I have a different device, and the app is only listed as compatible with Kindle Fire and Nook HD models.
Thanks in advance!
up! i need it too, thank you
Nobody?? On a rooted Kindle Fire, this would have to take, what... all of five minutes? Maybe ten?
We aren't the first to ask for this, there are a lot of people out there who would really appreciate having the APK to at least give a shot!
Just wondering if it would be possible to get the PS Vue apk working on the NP using the method mentioned in this thread here -http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-player/themes-apps/hbo-showtime-anytime-watchespn-firetv-t3226400
If someone wants to give it a shot that would be great. Let me know. I have the PS Vue apk pulled but just need someone to get it working.

APK - http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=3609528
Anybody get this working?
Is there a newer version of the APK?
"Purchasing" the app on Amazon, installing the Amazon Appstore or Amazon Underground + modifying device model to AFTB and manufacturer to Amazon seems to pass most of the checks but then launching the application goes to a screen with the Playstation Vue logo and a message saying to please update to the latest version of the app (it also says the version installed is 2.0.0).
Unfortunately the Amazon Appstore doesn't recognize the combined installation+purchase to offer an update or push of the latest. This seems to require somehow convincing the Amazon website you actually have a Fire device registered as one of devices for the App store.
My solution to this was to just get a Fire TV lol. It's much better and faster than the Nexus Player too.

Anyone happen to get this to work? I'd like to run the Fire Vue app on my shield. Or even just have the current apk?
I want to purchase the shield TV but only if this app works properly. I have a another Android TV (Mi Box) and I cannot get live streams from the app, only on demand. Thank you.
Yes it works via sideload app I have been using it for months. Just make sure you use the actual controller and not the remote as you will need the right stick to maneuver it.
OK cool, so you can live stream TV just like on a tablet?
Wanted to confirm if this is the x1 app or the older go app? Thinking to get a shield to use for extra comcast tv box.
for me running full marshmallow, go app works, newer TV app gives an error stating it's only compatible with mobile devices. Anybody know a workaround for that?
I just got the Shield TV Pro and the Xfinity TV go app does work just like it does on my Shield tab. I cannot get the newer Xfinity TV app to work though. I hope there is a fix for it as the newer app is better and I have a feeling they are going to discontinue the older app soon since the Xfinity website has ready been changed to look like the new app.
Does the new XFinity TV app work now that the XFinity TV Go app has been shut down?
any one have any info on getting the xfnity app to work...on nvidia shield... i sideloaded the app it just crashes ....thanks

It works on Marhsmallow but crashes on Nougat. At least I did have a working version on Marshmallow before I upgraded my shield. Not sure if the crash has to do with Comcast or simply with Android N
That stinks

I am on the fence about selling my fire TV 2 and buying an NVIDIA Shield TV. Does anyone know if DirecTV for tablets works on the shield? Or does it need to be rooted first?
Only way to get directv now on shield tv is by casting.

How well does casting work for you? How is the video quality? Any stutter?

Sorry, I am talking about "DirecTV for Tablets" specifically. Directv Now is a different service with a different app.

Yes it works fine, you just have to sideload the apk as you can't find it through the play store on stock. But it works, you can navigate the channel list with the d-pad and the right stick works as a mouse.

Works fine, i'd say on par with the amazon app or very close. Zero stutter.
Yes, the DirecTv app for tablets works perfect sideloaded on the shield Tv. I just ditched Comcast and signed up for DirecTv. Best decision I made in a while.
I just recently purchased an Amazon Fire HD 10 Kids Pro (2021 release) for my son who is almost 8. I sideloaded Google Play on it so I could download the games I pay for each month or have made a one time payment for. Everything seems to be working fine except for the fact that my son has downloaded some games from Google play that have in app ads to watch to help further game play and they will not load. When you try to click the button to watch the ad nothing happens. I've tried searching for a resolution to this but I'm not finding a whole lot. I've tried to download the games that have the in app ads from the Amazon store but sadly most are not available through Amazon. This wouldn't be such a big issue except for the fact that my son has Autism level 3 and doesn't understand why the ads aren't working. Explaining it to him doesn't help because he doesn't have the ability to understand it. It's just resulting in him getting super frustrated and thinking I'm doing something to prevent his game from working. I've seen posts from people asking about this issue but no one seems to have an answer on how to fix it or if it's even fixable. Is there a way to get these in app ads to work on side loaded games? The only reason I even bought this tablet was because it gives my son more freedom to do stuff while keeping him out of the things he shouldn't be in. We had a heck of a time keeping him out of stuff on other tablets as he's able to get out of all kid launchers we've tried and other security measures. Someone please tell me there's a way to fix this!
Did you ever find an answer to this problem? I'm hoping we can get some ads on ours as well.

Sorry for the late reply. No, I still haven't found a resolution to this. The in app ads work on many of the games that are downloaded but some they just won't load on. My son loves the game Sand Balls and both versions of that game we're having this problem on among some others. I have tried searching every where for a resolution to this but have only found very few mentions of it with no fix. One person said that there was no fix for it at the time they were commenting but it was an old post so I was hoping someone figured it out by now but I guess not. Have you had any luck since you replied?

I had been looking for an answer for this myself as well as a way to make the Fire a bit more "regular" Android-y vs. Amazon's Android. This past weekend I put Fire Toolbox on my (Windows) computer - https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/windows-tool-fire-toolbox-v30-2.3889604/ . Through this I disabled the Amazon Appstore which helped some of my games be able to utilize the extra in-app functionality (as well as open app store page links with Google Play Store instead of opening the Amazon App Store). With that said, I checked a couple old games I used to play and one still said no ads available (though if I clicked again, I still got the reward for it) and another game that still wouldn't let me click them.
I don't know if disabling Amazon App Store would screw things up for you/your son and how you get your apps, but if not, it might be worth a try? Or, if it doesn't work, maybe there's something else that can be disabled via Fire Toolbox that can help? I haven't had much chance to dive into it yet to see if I could get those other in-app ads to work or not yet, but thought I'd pass along what I've found so far in case you're still trying to find a solution.
