Hbo Go - Kindle Fire Themes and Apps

Hey guys, from what I understand, the hbo go app used to say this device is not compatible but I recently tried sideloading again using the barebones cm7 Rom which is preconfigured to have a modified build.prop so it can use more apps. So basically it starts up now and I can use it but the problem is that it force closes the moment I click sign in. Is there any solution?

It's worked for me on every version of CM7 that I've tried.

I am running CM 9, so of course it is different, but the issue may have to do with the Kindle itself. I spent some time yesterday on tracking down the APK, even going back to earlier versions and it will not run for me at all.

try this it works on my kindle
turn off your wifi
install hbogo
when it ask to connect to internet then turn on wifi
then you can add your user account info and HBOgo works
the only drawback ive experienced is that you have to turn off wifi and repeat this every time you use HBOgo
but it does work for me

Yes, every little bit of info may be useful to someone.

I am not sure if others have had issues with HBO Go since the May 4th update. I started getting the force close and was unable to sign in again. Well I am happy to report after finding an older version of the apk file on this very site - I am up and running again. It is the HBO Go 7 apk file.
Does anybody have an older version of the Max Go apk?
I hope this helps some of you.

Anyone have any luck getting this to run with any of the CM9 ROMs? I just get the not compatible message and nothing else. The trick of turning off wifi doesn't make any difference here.

It was updated recently (last week) and now works with cm9, I was using it today.

Really? Still not working for me. Using the 1.4 version and still getting the "HBO GO is not supported on this device" message. I am on the Reloaded CM9 ROM. Which one are you using? Do you still have to use the workaround from the stock ROM (turn off Wifi, start app, turn it back on)? That also does not seem to work for me.

I used it today as well. I am on hellfire ICS 1.2.

I am using the stock rom but it still does not work

Same problem on my rooted stock ROM. It used to work well until the latest Amazon update.

I am now seeing news stories that say Kindle Fire will get HBO GO app support on June 10 with the start of the new True Blood season. Check it out. Wonder if that means it will work on CM9 ROMs?

This is what worked for me.

[Q] Order and Chaos (gameloft) ?

Gameloft just released Order and Chaos online for Android and I was wondering if anyone has tried it for Transformer yet?
I just searched for it on the Google and Amazon markets and didn't see it.

it starts then it says:
"your device is not compatible, please request a refund"
edit: just found a tegra 2 version. going to try it out.
Nope, not working. Someone said it works on the Acer Iconia A500.
Dude, you have to report if you got it working ! that looks like awesomeness =)
Maybe someone could try editing their build.prop to make it work? I purchased it on the market and it works on my Captivate. I saw a thread on the gameloft forums where it is working on Gtablets. I installed it on my Transformer but get the error message that it isn't compatible even though I downloaded the tegra 2 resource files and put them where they need to go. If a simple build.prop change could fix this that would be fantastic. I'm not rooted and left the cable at work so I can't root to try it. However if anyone rooted gets it working I will definitely be rooting. I was hoping that after purchasing it on my phone it would show up on my Transformer under uninstalled purchased apps but no go

no go. Tried the build prop from lg optimus and acer iconia tab. stil says device not compatible. I dont get why gameloft wouldnt make an effort to have this tablet ready on launch.I guess its honeycomb. Im so disappointed. I doubt they wil ever add tablet support. They are pretty lame with updates
oh how I want a fix for this. Until then I'll use my thunderbolt but this would be so much better on a 10.1 inch screen
There is an "AllDevices" version now available which install, updates and runs to a point.
I managed to create a new character and accept the first quest before getting a FC.
Haven't tried further so far but going to give it another go.
The screen doesn't seem to quite fit, a small portion appears to be lost at the top.
Managed to complete a few more quests before the next FC.
FPS looks sparodic and like I said the screen isn't quite right, some text missing from top of pop up windows etc, buttons take a couple of presses to register sometimes but all in all looks a good game and quite playable without the FCs.
nice, did a search for "all devices version" loaded my char up and I've had no isuues so far
What rom/kernal/version of honeycomb are you using? I installed it and it force closes after about a minute in in game

I can't manage to get this to run without force closing after a few minutes. Ice it doesn't force close for you?

Not working (well) for me either on gt10.1. Rooted just so I could edit the build.prop, but none of them seem any better. Top ΒΌ of the screen is cut off and force closes after a few minutes. I got the the backend files from - mobile phone talk dot com.

[Q] NBA Game Time 2011-2012/NBA.TV

Hi,
I have a request. Does some know how to make NBA Game Time 2012-2012 or NBA.TV app work on kindle fire. I tried through android market but it says that my device is not compatible.
Do you have any advice to solve this problem ?
(If by any chance you have the apk to install this I would really appreciate sending my liknk through PM)
Best regards,
I will ask differenlty ;-)
May someone from US who has access to Android Market, download NBA Game Time 2011-2012 and make backup of it and then post a link to a apk file so we can test if it works on Kindle Fire?
Thank in advance!
I need the app also. I have a dell streak 7 from t-mobile that I reloaded with the streak 7 honeycomb rom. Now the app wont install because it allows streak7 t-mobile but not the wifi that the honeycomb rom is based off of. Its too smart for its own good.
I pulled the APK from my Inc2, and it's odd since it's buried in another spot, not in /data/app.
I tried to install it on my kindle (unrooted) but it would get stuck at the splash screen. Anyways, here's the apk.

i dont think that will work- pkg.apk is for sprint broadband nba.
The file which was included above do work on Kindle Fire. I didn't try mobile league pass because I'm not in US.
I also istalled NBA.TV app which supposed to be not only for US users and it also works on Fire but it's not dedicated for tablet so for instance I can't login to international league pass because of screen issue.
Hope it helps
I was able to install it on my Transformer, using the above link, as it wasn't in the market for me, or any other tablet user. Everything works ok, except on videos I only have audio, no video. Hopefully they update it to support all tablets, including the Fire.

That's kind of weird though since I have a Verizon device. It was the only apk that showed up when i searched nbagametimelite
I was just thinking though that maybe it's getting stuck because it's trying to do a location check?
It wasn't for Sprint broaband only but regular one. The Sprint NBA Game Time blocks me just at the beginning, this works just fine
I chatted with customer support and they say that they are working on application for android tablets but they can't tell me when we can expect it though
Could you please upload NBA.TV application too?

The pkg.apk posted works perfectly on my HP Touchpad. When I went to the Market, it stated the app was only available on my Nexus One due to carrier restriction.
The apk.pkg works fine on my Kindle Fire with the amazon OS. was watching the free LP trial earlier

I have a galaxy tab 10.1 and I got the app from your link however I can't get any video. I just get audio can someone tell me if they have the same problem and how they fixed it.
I got the same issue!!

seems kinda hit or miss. sometimes ill get a force close trying to access a video, then ill reload the app and be able to view it fine. works perfect on my phone though.
now, if we just had a workaround for the local blackouts, id buy this.

MLB At Bat 12?

In the description of the app, it says its compatible with the kindle fire. I bought it through the Android market, not the amazon app store, because I have it on my phone too.
Anyways! I had tried searching for the app on the ICS Rom, but it wasn't available. I was disappointed, because i was really enjoying the Rom. But I restored a CM7 backup, and downloaded the app. (CM7 Barebones) and when I ran the app, it wasn't the tablet version of the app.
Does anyone know what I need to do to either:
1. Get the app on ICS. (I'm going to try TB and restoring it, but I'm not sure if it'll be the tablet version)
2. Force enable the tablet version of the app, instead of the phone version?
Thanks

Similar problem here, I have CM7 running on a Kindle Fire and I am getting the phone version. If anyone knows how to force it to run the tablet version that would be great.

running AtBat 12 on my AOKP milestone 5 kindle. No icon for watching live games (Am paid MLB.TV customer; works on my thunderbolt) I can watch highlights just fine.
1. Any paid subscribers to MLB.tV that can corroborate that watching live games is working on their rooted KF?
2. Might my suspicion that I just reloaded the cellphone version to my tablet is the problem. (Reading above it seems like there is a tablet specific version)
I am also on a CM9 rom and can watch the highlights but there is no live games icon. I'm guessing it is a build.prop issue and the app is not recognizing the Fire as a supported device for live games. Just a guess.

HBO GO app with time warner

Hey, I just came over from ATT to Verizon but I kept with the sgs3 however I'm trying to use my HBO go app to watch HBO and it won't let me choose time warner as a provided... it keeps giving me an error but I was just watching HBO go on my ATT sgs3 like 30 mins ago. I have uninstalled reinstalled rebooted...anyone have any ideas? Please, thank you.

I've never used HBO GO, but just installed and was able to choose Time Warner Cable as my provider. Switched to my actual provider and signed in without a hitch.
Sorry, I can't seem to replicate that issue here - but, it does actually seem to allow Time Warner logins on Verizon phones.
I did all this while connected to WiFi, if that makes a difference.

The app is not working too well with Verizon, it's kind of working today, but not the next day, very frustrating. We just have to wait until they fixed the stupid app.
Well thank you both very much for the response I guess I'll just keep trying.

Is this problem only happening on the Verizon network, then? Have you tried watching/registering over WiFi as a test?
I just checked and HBO GO has Settings -> Preferences with an option on how to connect for Video Playback, for example. The default for me said "Wi-Fi Only" and it went back to that setting even after I told it to also use the phone network last night. Hm . . .
EDIT: Just set the Video Playback value to also use the phone network (which they list as "3G", even though my connection is 4G) and it played back "X-Men: First Class" without a problem.

Okay, this is interesting. I would never think that carriers would have an impact on an app working on the same devices, but it seems to be the case. When I first got my device, stock unrooted, hbo go would not work, opening the app up it would say not compatible with device, but yet I was allowed to download from the play store!? You tell me?
Now running custom roms with all vzw crap frozen, it works just fine. And YES, Time Warner Cable is an option.
So it breaks my f***ing heart to yet again give a big old FU to Verizon and their borderline Apple antics. Wtf vzw, we pay you well to bend us over any time you can. And I said I'd never grow up to be a Whore, thanks Verizon....

That's really weird, as I was testing after seeing this thread and HBO GO installed from the Play store fine, configured with my (non-Time Warner provider) fine and streamed fine. I'm pure stock, having rooted and unrooted a few times for specific needs.
Maybe HBO GO has since been unblocked by Verizon since the OTA, assuming it was blocked before?
- ooofest
Strange thing is I got it working. All I did was make my friends vzw phone a not spot and then connected to it. The all then allowed me to login and now that I'm already logged in I can use the network to actually watch the shows now... did the same thing to get watchespn working...very strange.

[Q] Wifi direct, Cyanogenmod, and Samsung

I've installed the latest stable Cyanogenmod (10.1.2) and was a bit disappointed that wifi direct doesn't work anymore. From reading around, it looks like Samsung has done some funny things with wifi direct that requires proprietary drivers. So, fine, silly Samsung. But is anyone working on a patch for this?
I'm using Fast File Transfer in the meantime, and I feel like I should send the developer flowers or something, but it would still be nice to get wifi dire t going again.

Tried it. It had the same symptoms as every other true wifi direct app, including the built-in service: my SGS3 (stock) and tablet see each other but can't connect, and any file transfers fail before they start. Had no trouble when running stock ICS on the tab.
