Sonic 4 - Works GREAT on Kindle Fire under CM9! - Kindle Fire Themes and Apps

So, Sonic the Hedgehog 4 Episode I just came out and pretty much doesn't work on any of the official ICS builds. It works GREAT in the CM9 rom on the Kindle Fire though, which is pretty laughable considering it's supposed to be a sucky $199 device...
Well done to the developers working on the CM9 build. Too bad for those with $500 devices.

Happyface.

Could you check if a app called crunchyroll works under cm9? I would test it myself but i dont have reliable internet atm.

Sure, give me a few minutes.

You'll be happy to know that it works FLAWLESS. Video playback is really smooth.

im more interesed in the cm9 you mentioned, as i have not seen it released yet

Sorry to bump this so long after the fact but I've been having trouble running this game on a Kindle Fire since I started using non-stock ROMs. I've tried this both on the AOSP 4.2.2 and CM10.1 ROMs and both of them force close the app when it tries to load the first stage. Episode II works just fine but I can't get E1 to work on this (it does work on a GNex7 and I originally had it installed on an HTC Droid Incredible).

It came out for the KF a good while ago. Both episodes even. I haven't tried EP 2 on it since it's now with my dad, but it works on my crappy 3.5" screen and 800MHz processor phone. So I don't think there should be an issue on the Fire. Haha.

Netflix now works on CM #74

don't know if anyone else reported this but I just flashed cm nightly 74, tried out neflix and it worked!
I didn't edit anything just freshed wiped and installed the nightly
if your coming from 7.0.3 make sure you do a full wipe as nightly 74 is 2.3.4
best of luck, it looks beautiful on our beautiful screens
Streaming works??

works perfectly in my rooted mytouch 4g running CM nightly #74
I don't know if you will be able to find the app on the market but i loaded from titanium back up and since i been trying with every single nightly since the app was announced I was pleasantly shocked that it actually worked on this one
By golly he's right.

but i had previously (in another nightly) edited the build.prop to change my glacier's name into vision... which made the netflix app appeared... i downloaded installed it and backed it up using titanium back up...

When i was on eViL Dee's it looked over HSPA as it did over Wi-Fi, when tried Cyanogen(mods) it looked like an older SNES playing videos. I'm sure they're working on it and it'll come out smooth in the end but for now i'm going to rock eViL's.
works smooth on Royal Ginger 2.1; comes bundles with the ROM, no extra stuff needed.
I got it working on my Vibrant. Playing Netflix on it is super smooth and the screen just makes it awesome.
Netflix customer service said that the mytouch 4g would be officially supported soon.
i don't understand how the g2 can get support first over the mytouch 4g..

Hulu Plus APP Working on Synergy Rom

The Hulu Plus app was just released. It says that only 6 devices are officially supported and the Incredible isn't one of them. I download the apk via droid-life and installed it on my Incredible running Synergy 06/16/11 nightly and it works just fine. I'm able to watch my TV shows. Here is the link to the post where you can grab the apk http://www.droid-life.com/2011/06/22/hulu-plus-lands-on-android-market-for-select-devices/
Works fine on the Incredible w/ Stock as well, just installed it, watching Spaced now.
Installed and works on MIUI 1.6.17.
Works on stock DINC
Thanks for the link. Installed and working fine on my stock build DINC but not sure its worth the monthly fee.
Not worth the monthly fee for me. The hacked Flash + Hulu worked fine, at least on SR 4.0. I'm using Synergy now as well though; haven't gotten around to installing a hacked Flash 10.3 + Hulu, but I know it's possible.

You can watch the non plus shows through the app with a much nicer interface. And that doesn't require a subscription.

So anything you can normally watch without a subscription you can watch with the new hulu plus app?

Doesn't seem to be working for me anymore, either. I'm on MIUI 1.7.15.1 with the latest incredikernel. I don't mind waiting for them to "officially" add support, honestly. But given how long it took for the app to come out to begin with it may be a while.

GTA III on Kindle Fire

Has anyone managed to make GTA III work on the Kindle Fire?
I managed to install it but right after the intro videos it jumps to my homescreen....
I'm using Chainfire3D with NVidia plugin....
I'm having the exact same issue, so frustrating!
I have a similar issue with some N64 games I play through the rom.
I tried all sorts of methods, from Tegra APK, to Qualcomm APK (and direct to Kindle Fire, which should be PowerVR), and none of the three versions work stock.
Interestingly, they all had different size downloads.
I tried all sorts of combination with Tegra/Qualcomm/PowerVR (with respective APKs), as well as unrolling textures, disabling hi res textures, etc., and none seems to work.
The furthest I got was after the opening intro, and crashes back. It seems to be an openGL overflow, so... yea... nothing we can do.
did you try the SGS 1 apk ?
hmm...
...
no success on my side so far aswell :/

We actually are talking about the, already released, android market version of GTA 3 and not about an emulated version.
huskerdu25 just stated that he has the same issues regarding some N64 Roms, if that's what made you think we're talking about an emulator.

The range of devices that this seems to run on is rather odd.... It runs fine on my Thunderbolt, but then I saw people talking about phones released after the TB with better specs that it seemingly would not run on. Sure would be cool if we could get it running on the Fire.

i finally managed to get it going using this apk which is V1.1
started a new game and it was just stuck at the end of the loading bar
after 5min of impatience my kindle crashed and rebooted
MOD EDIT: NO WAREZ
I installed v1.1 and it works,no problems.
Sent from my Kindle Fire using Tapatalk
What was needed to make it work? Also, what sdcard data works? I was quite pissed to find these HD games don't work especially when i found out that Amazon does something attempt to cripple these games bought from the Android market and make special copies that they sell on their app store. I guess it's not that surprising....but i still don't want to rebuy several of these games just to play them on my tablet rather than my phone
I had earlier downloaded version 1.0 and let the app download its own data over wifi( roughly 450 MB)....but game used to return to home screen after initial video....
Now I had downloaded ver 1.1 ....and its working awesome....

Chrome for Android

Can anyone access Chrome Beta for Android (4.0) from the market? I'm running Kindle Zone, but it's not showing up. If anyone has downloaded it, can you post a link?
thanks much!

On both my htc desire and kindle fire, it doesn't work though, showing a blank white screen when pages load. I think it is due to lack of ha on both ics builds.
thank you so much! I'll give it a try!
it works for me!
edit, no it doesn't. I see program and all the settings and everything, but it doesn't display pages.

Same here. No Chrome on ICS.
Cant seem to get it work on cm7 either...
blank screen for me too. running kang 4.0.3 CM9 build that was downloaded yesterday.
The problem is HWA (as per my post in the ICS dev thread):
"EUREKA EUREKA, although many others have argued this viciously, full HWA is the problem for Chrome not working. My proof? The HTC Desire just received an ICS build with full HWA tonight, and suddenly Chrome is working. So now we know the problem, on to the solution!!"

Yeah as far as I know it isn't working due to hardware acceleration, because my friend has an Incredible rooted running a ported ICS (no hardware acceleration), and he has the same blank page issue as we do on the KF. Hopefully we'll get HA soon...

Keep switching back to more stable touchwiz roms from CM!

Is anyone else having this problem? As much as I love CM10.1 and etc., I keep finding myself going back to say CleanRom. Does anyone have perfect stability on a 10.1 rom? I lose data, then get that fixed. Then I lose GPS. Just a hassle!

I find that TW roms are more stable, and after going from beans b7 to cm10.1 I find cm boring and lacking in many software areas. However, it is still a great ROM just a matter of personal preference

I've been on aosp pretty much from day 1 and don't ever see myself going back. Sure some of the betas and alphas had issues, but I've been on aokp milestone 1 and have 0 issues!! Everything works, and I get over 4 hours of screen time per charge.
Not too mention the unbelievable amount of tweaks that an aosp ROM allows you!!
The only thing I miss is the TW camera, not that the aosp is bad.

If I can find a tw rom that allows me to hear blue tooth phone audio while using the headphone jack for auxiliary media playback, I'd be all over it. I can't understand for the life of me why Samsung is the only manufacturer who can't get this right. It's idiotic and a safety hazard when try to answer phone while driving!

There is a milestone for cm10. The 4.2 ROMs are still in beta mode. I have been running cm10 m1 for weeks and everything works perfectly. Like I said 4+ hours of screen time plus all the customizations make it too hard to go back to anything TW based.

Not trying to be a jerk but when people say everything works perfectly and I go into said ROMs thread only to find bugs it annoys me.

Not trying to be a jerk, but you said it yourself "possible issues" it doesn't mean that everyone will have issues. We all know that ROMs behave differently on different phones. What I stated was accurate. CM10 M1 works on my phone with no issues. GPS, call volume, music player tethering and Bluetooth all work with no issues.
sent from my blue police box flying through time!!!
Same with me. CM10.1 is great, but if I need to use my phone in an emergency, I want to know I have a phone to rely on. And tethering doesn't work (At least I think it doesn't work).

retired - original droid, droid x, droid inc, galaxy skyrocket, motorola xoom, galaxy tab 1, and forever rip, ipad and iphone 4s (apple bites!)

Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda premium
I may be lucky but I haven't experienced much of the problems people claim in CM10.1. I doubt I'll ever look back at TouchWiz-based roms.
Personally, I've never used CM on any of my devices, I've always used others. For instance, I ran stock unrooted Touchwiz on my S3 for a couple months, then I switched to Liquidsmooth, I had that as my daily driver for at least 6 weeks, but the FC's and data dropouts were too much to bear so I went looking for another ROM, I installed Mean Lean Jellybean Machine Build 4 and loved it, so once Build 5 came out I switched to that, and have been on it ever since! I think I'll be staying on this ROM for awhile.

TouchWiz is actually an awesome oem skin for Android. It gets unfairly attacked because people think AOSP/CM must be better.
My personal experience: after rooting never used cm10.1 went straight to finding a good rom. Used executioner 2.5 liked the feel, speed, and battery life. Felt very stable. Tried cleanrom but started experiencing some bugs, switched quickly. Currently im running superchargedwiz rom kyjelly and it seems very stable i closely compare it to executioner 2.5 although im not getting the same battery life as i was getting on executioner but supercharged is very smooth. If i can figure out ktweakers kernal that came with supercharged, i know its possible to tweak it just right to get the right battery settings. My suggestion if your looking for a good rom to play with try one of these 2.
