Epix App Works on Kindle Fire - Kindle Fire Themes and Apps

Just signed up for my free 14 day trial of epix, and tried to download the app with my kindle, but the market was pretending my device wasn't compatible. So I downloaded it to my phone and side loaded it to my kindle no problem, then just went to the website and activated it as an Android device and everything seems to be working fine.
www.epix.com
Pretty cool so far, hopefully they get enough interest from people without cable to offer this as a stand alone service.
Damn you Swype!

The website is actually http://www.epixhd.com.
The app shows up just fine on the market on CM7 (modified build.prop). You must be on stock?

what rom are you on?

I loaded this up then just went in and deleted data on the market app and this is running great!
Then I screwed up and got excited about the google movies and download the new google video's. Rented Battle LA and started to play. then BAM... "cant access this video with a rooted device"... What a bunch of horse ****!!!.. I really hope someone figures a way around this.
THe DRM coding is what keeps it from running. not even sure how you would go about tricking it into thinking you have DRM

Well, I'm a newb when it comes to most of that. I just hope one of the many great dev's can tear into the .apk and figure out a way to mask the app from see that the device has root access.
I have no desire to steal or pirate movies. Just wanna watch an occasional movie on my tweaked phone yeah know.
They should be happy we arnet pirating the movies. Who cares if we root if we are paying

Had the same issue. Just went in to app manager and cleared data on the market app and rebooted the phone for good measure. Once the phone booted up I acceptef the market t&c and went back to my apps. Still could update so I just left it alone. A few minutes later I noticed the app updates available icon in the notification area and clicked on it. Once I selected the app that need to be updated it gave me the opotion to update, instead of open, or uninstall.
Dunno if I like the ui...kinda hard to navigate and find stuff.
It sure is a major change, almost wp7ish.
Guess I will get used to it.

[APP] Hulu Plus

All credits goes to huntken and Alex9090 i'm just posting here. Works on my g2x. I'm running CM7.
Directions:
1. Delete Hulu Plus if you have it installed already.
2. Delete any backups you may have of it in Titanium Backup.
3. Get Titanium Backup if you don't already have it.
4. Download this file here: and unzip it, there will be 3 folders in it.
5. Place all 3 folders in the sdcard/TitaniumBackup folder
6. Launch Titanium Backup and restore the backup.
7. Enjoy?
PLEASE NOTE: You can't use "Ad Free" or anything that modifies hosts for this, or the videos won't load.
Thanks man, appreciate having this app. I assume we should avoid updating this app, correct?

Hulu Plus is not free. Its 7.99 amonth. Hulu non plus is free. All hulu plus mainly gives you is stuff new within aweek. It also gives you some stuff that is really old that hulu makes you go to the shows website to watch.

I'd say try again tomorrow, as it might be a server-side issue. Wikipedia shut down today in protest of SOPA/PIPA that might be the issue. I'd say try again tomorrow, and see if that doesn't resolve the issue.
Okay it's working now, it didn't until I changed languages.....odd. I did a video walk through. Pretty decent app, but nothing ground breaking.

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.

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.

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.

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.
