Duke Nukem 3D Side Loads Fine Onto Fire

I went to grab the new Duke Nukem from the market with my Kindle, but it told me it wasn't compatible with my device, so I downloaded it with my phone and side loaded it to my kindle with no problem. Runs just as good on the KF, as on my phone, but that's not really saying much. Controls are wonky at best, but still kind of fun.
Enjoy.
Sent from my rough sketch of a Vibrant on a brick.

When i run it, it says I didn't buy it and a screen wide pop up keeps popping up repeating that, makes it unplayable.

Did you buy it?
Don't think we should be linking to downloads of paid apps.

Its free today, but I don't have a compatible device apparently... Uhg....

Link removed. I guess if you have a compatible device you can do it the same way I did, then. Good luck.

If you have a friend or family member with a "compatible" device, you could log into it with your gmail and get it that way. They would need root though to grab the .apk for transfer.

Yea it works. Buy it on your phone, then use root explorer to find the duke apk file(its a private one for some reason and can't be backed up like other apks i have).
Once i found the apk, I copied it and paste it in my download folder, then uploaded it to box app. Then download it onto my fire using box and it works fine.

Wondering what qualifies as a compatible device, perhaps a bit of build.prop modification could let me download to my KF as it's the only android device I have?

Time Magazine and other Apps?

So I have ICS (ReloadedRom) installed on my Kindle Fire but I also have a subscription to GQ and Time magazine. I was wondering if anyone have the Time magazine apk for share? I really don't want to change back to Kindle fire just for a magazine when ICS is awesome. Thanks.
Furthermore I found the GQ magazine apk but it keeps crashing on me. Anyone have an updated version?

you should be able to download the apps from the Play Store.

Hey guys wondering if anyone can post the time magazine apk. I have a time magazine subscription but am not located in the US so can not download it. It's a free app and was hoping someone might be able to post the apk for me? Thanks.

Thanks untamed. Haven't checked on my messages in a while since I don't have a kindle anymore. I got a nexus =). Do you happen to know why gq keeps crashing? Is there a new update, if so can you post it up? Thanks for all your help boss.

Worked (need to install amazon appstore and 'purchase' - its free-the app via web appstore).
Unfortunately twc and bright house arent supported (the work fine on the non kindle version)

I'm on hellfire's ICS. I downloaded the app above and when I opened it up it says that I don't own the app. When I press see details it takes me to the Amazon app store with hbo go tantalizing close. Yet it won't let me "purchase " it because it says it is not compatible with my device.

go to the amazon WEBSITE and purchase the app, not the amazon app store application...you should still have the stock kindle on you amazon account which would allow purchase

That did it. I tried doing it from the Site's mobile format and it didn't work. But I went to the full Site and was able to get it. Unfortunately I am also on TWC.. :-(

I am using gede's rom as well. I had the hbo 1.4 from the market before this and worked as well.
But I did go through the website as suggested and purchased the app from amazon. However the app does not show up under the amazon app on the KF.
I first made a tb backup of my 1.4 first and then uninstalled the app all together.
I then side loaded the apk in the thread after I purchased the app from amazon. Installed the apk from my dropbox account.
At first I tried to open the app right after the install and was getting force closes at random times. So I knew it worked and so I decided to just reboot and see. And viola! The app opens without an issue. I am watching Kung Fu Panda 2 right now in HD

I wonder why TWC isn't listed in the providers with the new HBO Go app. This kind of irritates me since I use TWC and can not use the new it.

http://www.multichannel.com/article/485577-HBO_Go_Gets_Fired_Up_For_Amazon_Kindle.php
what's crazy is HBO is actually owned by the Time Warner parent company...and they stated only 1% of their viewership even use Go.
the regular one on the play store has TWC, and so does the ipad one (which the KF one closely resembles), so it's just stupidity

Thanks. I got it to install and run but still force closes after reboot. Any idea why?
edit: wiped data in Titanium Backup and ran app a few more times and it finally works lol

It's there now
Although you've already solved the problem, I just wanted to inform you that it is on the Amazon Appstore now.

I'm running the Hellfire ROM and downloaded HBO GO from the Play Market and it works great!

Wired Magazine for Android Tablets

I recently pulled the Wired Magazine .apk from a cousin's Kindle Fire, and have found that it works well on the Nexus 7, and presumably other tablets. The current version is ̶2̶.̶7̶.̶0̶.̶1̶1̶.̶6̶0̶2̶0̶1̶ 2.9, and the only downside is that it seems like the magazine itself does not fill the entire screen while in viewing mode.
Some prerequisites:
-both Adobe Air and the Amazon Appstore must be installed (you must be logged in, too) for the app to function
-if you have an ad blocker installed, you must add any any websites that include adobe to your whitelist. Mine included "broker.adobe.com" and "stats.adobe.com". This might not be necessarily, but it is a good precaution. If you ignore this and the app crashes, uninstall it and add them.
Just install the app normally after checking the first two things. Also, you must have already purchased the magazines (at least in my testing). If you have a print subscription, I would advise creating your account on a computer, not in the app.

Thanks for this, any chance of pulling the latest version? I believe it's 2.9 or so.

Thanks! Works great on my N73G.

Just wanted to say thanks. I also have the problem of the app not filling the screen on the Nexus 7. Funny that it (presumably) works on the Kindle Fire HD, which is the same resolution.

The Kindle Fire HD is the same screen resolution, but the regular Kindle Fire is not. It's 1024x600 vs 1280x800, a short coming of ~200 pixels in each direction. This could explain the black edges. Maybe it defaults to the 1024x600 resolution unless it sees some indication of being on a Fire HD (ie: build.prop or other file). If so, I imagine there could be a fix for this to mimic the HD and get the full resolution.
OR, Wired could just release the damn app for all Android platforms. :silly:

I think you're right, but I unfortunately don't have access to a Fire HD. I think they use different versions on each different model, so that might be why. That is a complete guess, through.

I don't know if it helps but Wired is now available via Google Magazines in the UK at least.

Is it linked to a print subscription? We can get a glorified .PDF here (I'm the US) and we have to pay extra for it.

Yeah, F* that. Wired will give a free interactive digital issue to iPad and Kindle owners, but charge existing subscribers extra for some crappy PDF version that I could download for free from a number of places.
If Wired doesn't change it's tune, I'm planning on cancelling once my current subscription is over - just on principle.

Anyone else have an issue signing into their accounts? I've followed all of the install instructions and the wired app starts up normally. I just can't sign in to download any content.

On N7, Wired app says "App not owned" and redirects to amazonappstore and there I get the "App is not Compatibile" message.
No chance to click on the grey button (in the wired app) in top right corner "Current Magazine Subscribers.."

I used to get this error on my Nook Color but was able to successfully ignore it. Make sure you have the Amazon App store installed, logged in and updated. I think you also need Adobe Air. If you haven't already, "purchase" the Wired app in the Amazon app store via the web. It won't let you download the app and will say your device isn't compatible, but maybe it will get rid of the ownership message. I'm guessing here, so no promises this will fix anything.

Still not working on my n7. I've gotten it to work on my cm7 nook color, but I've tried everything on my n7. I've even re-installed the amazon app store and adobe air. I've also tried the previous version of the wired magazine apk. I get everything to install and open normally, I just can't log in to download my subscriptions. Anyone have any other suggestions?
The messed up thing about this is that it was a wired article that I was reading on my nook color that made me want to upgrade to the n7.

Make sure you disable any ad blocking software or changes made to your hosts file to block ads. This prevents you from logging in to the app.

Thanks, but I'm not running any ad blocking software (unless there's a native app on the n7 that's doing this and I'm not aware of it).

If you have Adobe Air installed, then I don't know what you can do. Try uninstalling Air and the Wired, and then re-install them. If that doesn't work, I don't know what to tell you. Wired doesn't offer ANY support so you're just out of luck.

Hoping someone can help. Running paranoid android on a note 2. Installed Adobe air and Amazon AppStore (logged in). I am able to open app, sign in, download, and install an issue...but when I go to view the issue it crashes/force closes.
Any advice?

Google play finally allows you to sign up for free subscriptions using your existing print subscription. As of today, there is no longer a need to do the Wired app dance with Amazon.

Amazon Instant Video app from Google TV

I have extracted the Amazon Instant Video app from my Google TV device. It opens on the Note 8, you can select videos, but on trying to actually stream the video you selected, it crashes. If there are any talented people on this forum who want to try playing with the .apk file to see if they can fix it, or if there's someone willing to host this file, let me know and I will email it to you.

You would also need to get the Flash enabled version of GTV Chrome working, since that is really what the app relies on.
EDIT: At least that is the case on the Sony NSZ-GT1. If it is different for your device, I'll have a look, but from what research I have done, it is not an easy task & it will involve a few modifications that will not sit well with other apps or the Play Store.
Post it up though, I just got my dev environment setup on my new machine & the missus will be out of town this weekend.

Unfortunately you're right. The Google TV Chrome app will not install on the Note.
There doesn't seem to be a way to post files through the XDA app, but I can email them to whoever wants them.

Well, I have to report that I have had little luck getting this to work on any non-GTV device. I even built an AOSP build with using a GTC boardconfig. No luck.
I am very pissed with Amazon though, so I went & bought a LTE KF HD 8.9 & I am going to play with getting it working on other tablets. Man I hate the Kindle stock experience. Thank goodness for root. I'll let you know if I find a simple way to get it running, but it will take some time as business is wicked crazy right now.

Any luck?

Yes & no. I have firstly been playing with the Nexus 10 & the KF HD 8.9. I was able to finally get AVOD to work on the Nexus 10, BUT, *BUT*, I essentially had toport the entire KF rom to the Nexus 10. It is buggy & there are some graphical & resolution issues, but it worked.
The only other instance I have found was also similar. A guy got it working on a Galaxy Tab, essentially doing the same thing, porting the whole KF rom.
You could of course use a different launcher, but it is still ICS, 4.0.3, & aside from losing a lot of the N10 cool features, it really is far from stable. I don't have a lot of time for this stuff at the moment, work is crazy busy these days. At any rate, I am going to see if I can try to go about it the other way & try to port some of the KF framework & core apps to JB when I get some time. Right now though, it is a no go.
