Okay, well one of the biggest concerns I have with a custom ROM is that I'd lose access to Amazon Instant Video. I've read that it's impossible to get the APKs from a stock Kindle firmware and put them on a custom ROM, unless the ROM is Gingerbread based, like CM7. Unfortunately I want JB 4.1.
So what I'm asking is, does anybody know a way that it might be possible? I can understand if not.
So if it's not possible, what about Flash? If you can spoof a desktop client and then go to Amazon in your browser that works. But Flash doesn't install on Android 4.1.
I've heard Flash will install on 4.1 anyways if you sideload the APK. But I've only seen this in other devices forums. Has anyone tested and verified it works on a Kindle Fire?
Thanks!

They will not work, the apps were built for gingerbread and seeing that the stock kindle fire image is gingerbread the apps have not been updated to be compatible with 4.0 or 4.1. I miss my prime instant video app, but I do have it on my TV so i use it that way.

As stated in google play while downloading latest flash player update.
***NOTE: FLASH PLAYER IS NO LONGER BEING UPDATED FOR NEW DEVICE CONFIGURATIONS. FLASH PLAYER WILL NOT BE SUPPORTED ON ANY ANDROID VERSION BEYOND ANDROID 4.0.x***

That was Adobe, they want to move over to HTML5 for mobile. In fact flash player (for Android) is being killed altogether August 15 so it makes sense for them not to make it work on JB.
I thought they just going to remove it from the Play Store after August 15th, meaning you could still keep it backed up in Titanium Backup and just restore and use it. Will this not be the case?

Yes, you could do this, but you'd probably have to be in 4.0.4 at the latest.
I can confirm that flash still works on version 4.1.1 on the Galaxy Nexus. I assume it will be the same for the Nexus S.
Google said that flash support isnt needed on jb! The browser will fill in that part!

Hello,
if you restore Adobe flash from Titanium Backup seems to work on 4.1
adobe dropped support for mobile flash player before the galaxy nexus even launched,but they promised an update to support ICS and they did that and they said they will keep making security updates until finally removing the app from the playstore on august 15,they never said that the current flash player will not work on jelly bean,so installing the apk or restoring it from backup may and may not work.and with a linux porting kit available (as far as i know) maybe some dev will port it or maybe google will integrate it in chrome for android like firefox did for their mobile version.
i have test the port of Jb on nexus s and the flash player not working ... i try to find it from google play and isnt here ... then i install apk and no work on website .... i open site with flash and crash ... also no broswer open site with flash ...
No online tv ... no online game on website ... no miniclip ... site not view good because flash plugin needed...
Best way to get rid of the dependency on dying technology is to force everyone to stop using it
Flash ain't going anywhere period. Just a Steve jobs talking point for not allowing it on iOS.
Flash is a dying technology - still push QuickTime.
Flash not on mobile anymore but you won't see it off the net anytime soon.
But i want to see site that need flash player what i can do ?
I think this might be the case: In android 4.1, Chrome is the default browser. no unnamed android browser for Nexus 7, just chrome. And chrome doesn't support flash. that is why adobe says they won't support flash beyond 4.0.x.
BUT on the GN and nexus s, we still have the unnamed webkit browser on jb roms/ports, which were the same ones from 4.0. and it can handle flash just like it did in 4.0 since all the 4.0 api were compatible with 4.1.

Getting so close to daily drivers with the jb roms so exciting. A bit off topic, but anyone having issues with bluetooth media running? I have latest jbrom (i think) running on my ns4g and that is one issue I have run into. I can take phone calls running through my car kit but media does not work. It says it's working but it's not. I have tried anything common sense would ask of a human being. Something is definitely wrong. pm me with any responses please I dont want to clutter up this thread. Thanks in advance!!
Flash is old tech. Adobe is just forcing us to switch to newer teach like HTML5 is what I heard...

I'm running JB 4.1 on a Nexus S 4G and I don't even see Flash Player in the GPlay Store.
SmartGlass won't install from the Google Play store -- supposedly my tablet is not compatbile.
I am running CleanRom 2.3, Has anyone tried this with the stock OS? I was curious if it was possible CleanRom it is complaining about.
If it is, forget Microsoft. CleanRom is the best OS I've had on this device so far.

Hi all Just joinned up and also just got myself a Asus infinity TF700T
So far I have charged it done firmware update and rooted it.
I would like to know what is the best / stable rom out at moment. Also overclocking options.
Thanks
A good stock option is CleanROM 2.3,
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1919851
however if you're looking for an AOSP rom I'd go with the CM10 Nightlies
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1957660
There are overclocking options for both courtesy of Clemsyn's overclocked kernel
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1950039
Personally I'm on CM10 and I'm waiting for a modified Clemsyn kernel since I'm also using the Data2SD mod.
Yeh was thinking about CM10. I had CM on my acer a500 and have it on my cellphone and find it nice and easy to use.

EDIT. Just downloaded Root Checker and its now saying this device does not have proper root access. before i did firmware update it was rooted. Superuser is still installed.

Are you unlocked? You need to unlock, then you could fastboot flash either TWRP or CWM recovery. I like TWRP and I'm on CleanROMv2.3 and Clemsyn's OC kernel v22. Performance is fantastic and everything works. The CM ROMs all have something not working 100% yet, from what I can see, but it's really whatever you're more comfortable with. CleanROM is pre-rooted so all you would have to do is get your custom recovery. Please DO NOT USE Rom Manager to install CWM recovery (I would avoid it altogether). Several experienced users have hard bricked (no coming back) their devices that way.
Yeh got it sorted and not unlocked.
Removed SD card and put just the ICS firmware off asus page on it. Tablet is on and jelly bean running I put SD card in and couple of seconds later a popup comes up to do a update / downgrade. So I run it and restarts and now running ICS again. Seen the firmware update popup so did not click it. Then install Root OTA Keeper then update to JB. Now have rooted JB with superuser and checked with root checker.
As long as you are locked you are already on the best rom available to you.
yeh not to worried about updating to custom ROM. just going to install a launcher and cleaning out some of the stock apps.
What launcher would you recommend?
GO Launcher HD for Pad or GO Launcher EX or other?

I think the best is Go Launcher HD for Pad, other may favorate Nova, Apex etc... and Go Launcer EX is a full blown mature launcher for Phone only. I believe soon Go Launcher HD will have the same features as Go Launcher EX.(this one is the best with thousand of plugin and themes).
i would stay @ stock launcher it s the most reliable one or trebuchet launcher
Hi okantomi
Have gone and done what you posted.
TWRP and CleanROMv2.3 and about to do Clemsyn's OC kernel
Hi, cause I didn't want to wait for an official JB update, I recently installed "SuperXE" AOSP Rom, JB 4.2.1. It's very nice, but i really need an app that can handle office document formats, especially those of MSO. As my phone originally came with "Polaris Office", I'd like to continue using this app -- is this possible?
Just putting the apk from stock HTC ICS in /system/app doesn't do anything. It's possible to install it normally, but then it crashes when I try to launch it. Didn't have the time to check logcat for that so far, but maybe someone can tell me if this ist just impossible to do OR what I'm missing, thanks!

probably it is compatible for sense based roms if i am not wrong
Didn't expect it to require Sense, because it's a "standard" app also available for other phones. But never mind that, just read somewhere else that it isn't compatible with JB at all.
The originally included game "Teeter" won't work on JB AOSP either, but as I don't find this version in the store, I guess missing Sense could be the problem in THIS case, right? It won't even install normally (e.g. clicking on the APK in file explorer). It's a game, so, not important at all -- but it was nice
I am looking for a custom ICS rom for xt926. All the ones in the android dev section seem to have been upgraded to JB. Right now im using the stock version that came with my phone originally but i wuld like something thats been completely debloated. Any ideas?
I want to keep the hdmi overscan options that ICS has if youre wondering why i want this.
no? Ok well, is there a way to replace the MotoApps with their stock android counterparts? I wanted to do this with the clock (MotoDeskClock.apk in system/apps) but everytime i tried the clock would fc. I think it might have something to do with it being odexed but im really not sure.
Could just root it and remove all the bloat.
