All,
I'm hoping to get News360 running on the KF running the ICS ROM (which is fantastic btw). But Market says my device isn't compatible with News360 for Tablets. Of course, it's a free app, but I cannot find of an APK of it anywhere. Has anyone been able to get News360 for Tablets from Android Market? OR can tell me how to procure the APK? Or if anyone has figured out how to convince Android Market I'm really running a proper Ice Cream Sandwich tablet and they shouldn't see it as a Kindle Fire and block it?
I HATE fragmentation!

I downloaded it to my Kindle and then uploaded the apk for you, you can download it HERE.
Thank you! This is the Tablet version, right? It didn't have a problem with the fact that it was the Kindle Fire? Or did you get it from Amazon's app store, or what?
Thanks!

It works fine but I mistakenly downloaded the phone version, I'm installing the tablet version and will update my first post. The tablet version is giving me an error about parsing the package.
Edit: I found a few places to download it from but I get the same parsing error with each one.
yeah

Hi all!
I´m using Prime 1.9 ROM.
The problem is, that my market version is still at 1.0.28 which is an old one. someone know how to get the updated version?
Greetings
Cyber
I think that's the current market for HC tablet.
I don´t think so because i can download facebook an there is no version available for tablets.

You're talking about side loading. You did not download Facebook directly from market did you?
You can certainly side load the newest market version but it's NOT optimized for tablet.
The latest up to date version for tablet is what you have.
but if you want just download and install the market from here

Your original question was "How do i get a market Update?" which you will not because you are up to date.
okay i understand.
but i´m still wondering because i got on the original rom no chance to download facebook so i think there must be maybe a filter or something for tablets when loading the market site.
When I first got my TF, FB was pre-installed. Some times after that they removed it from market for HC tablet. So now when it get update, I just pull it from my phone and install it on the TF.
The most up-to-date market app caused a lot of my apps to force-close. If you sideload it, remember this, in case you start getting apps unable to run.
Just recieved a new Nextbook Next8P model. So far it runs smooth. However, I need to get Android Market installed. It came pre-loaded with SlideME, not worth it. I've loaded the Amazon market app. However, it doesn't have the app that my wife needs (Wordstorm), which is available on the adroid market. I've loaded the newest version. But, it FCs after setup. This tab running Android 2.3.1. Is there a version of the app ? Do I need to be rooted?
Thanks,

Hi, I just rooted my kindle fire to be able to access the android market, and in the market app it does not even bring up blood and glory when searched? But if I go to the market via the web I can see it but it then says it is not compatible with my rooted kindle?? So I cannot download It.???? So are there just some apps that will not work??? Or is there a way around this?
Thanks!

Apps a deigned to work only with the right hardware. You could try to fake it so the market thinks its a different device but it still may not work
Because its the Kindle Fire the Amazon App Store is default. And so when company's like Gameloft release a game they'll assume that your Kindle Fire doesn't have access to the Android Market and most of the time they'll only release the app for the Android Market meaning that the Market app will filter the app out. One of the ways to get around this is to go onto your computer and download the apk file and then transfer it to your Kindle. Once you've installed it on your Kindle it should run. You can download an apk file via your Kindles browser as long as it is an apk file. I'm not to sure about paid app's however.
Thank for the info!
So how do I go about downloading the APK file (blood and glory) to a computer, as the market again will not let you download it (need android device)??? and once I have the file do I just drop it in to the main kindle drive (no special folder or any thing).. because when trying to find all my other APK app files that are installed on my kindle I can't find where they are store at on my kindle??
I am pretty new to all this still...
Thanks again, you guys are great!
Is anyone else having issues downloading tablet specific apps on to the kindle fire from the web market? It says that the kindle is not compatible.
For example: https://market.android.com/details?id=com.cnn.mobile.android.tablet
That app says it is incompatible with the kindle running ics.
Am I alone, or missing something?
Oddly enough the app in the link you posted isn't compatible with my Kindle running CM7, but this one from Time Magazine (for tablets) is: Time Magazine Tablet App
What is the determining factor here?
I guess my Android version checks out for that specific tablet app, but yours should check out too since you're running ICS...
Yea, the Time magazine is compatible as well. Are honeycomb apps still just honeycomb only, and not ics compatible yet?
Hello all,
I bought a prepaid credit card just so that I could get overskreen from the play store. I tried searching for it in the play store and it did not come up, so i googled it and it showed up, however, much to my demise, i was unable to purchase the app. I got an error "the item you have attempted to purchase could not be found". In the app description the developer stated that jelly bean support is a work in pogress, has anyone else had issues with downloading overskreen, it appears that some xda members were able to install it. I have never gotten this error before, is this a common error or have i disabled one too many apps lol. If anyone has found a way to get overskreen could you point me to where you found it, this app is pretty essential for multitassking and would allow all users of this tablet to be much more productive. I would love to be able to open a pdf and write notes in google drive via overskreen, now that would be bad ass.
Hope my fellows are having a dope holiday season
The browser?
"ASUS Transformer Pad TF700T
This item is not compatible with your device."
So it won't show up in the play store on the tablet, and buying it can only be done for a device it supports.

Other members have downloaded it, there is a thread on floating apps and apparently it was installable (not sure if they got it thru the play store), I am thinking it might not be available for anyone on jelly bean, tf700 owners who have the app posted about it before the jelly bean update, I have emailed the developer to see what they have to say, thx for checking it out tho.

It also lists as incompatible for my SGS3, so I suspect they just deleted all JB devices from the list. I've yet to update that to JB, so it's not because it sees the OS version.
Those that are still able to install it do so by sideloading. (download to another device and copy the .apk to the incompatible device).
The author of Overskreen is having issues w/Jelly Bean devices, which is why it's not available on the Play Store for Jelly Bean devices.
However, there is a free alternative called "Floating Browser Flux" in the Play Store that is compatible with Jelly Bean. In my opinion, it's not quite as good as Overskreen, but it does work pretty well...

Cool I was thinking of doing that but I do not have any other android devices, looks like i am going to have to commandeer my sisters phone lol
I have tried floating browser flux and it worked alright, however, typing was really annoying and it wouldnt play youtube videos if I was using another app at the same time.
the overskreen browser works great on my infinity you just have to sideload it just google it and download the apk
I was gonna get the same app I tried it with my ics tab and it worked great, I'll try to side load it here too and see if it works just the same.

Has anyone gotten this app to work on a JB update or JB ROM?
