[Q] Earth and Legend on Kindle Fire?

Will it run on the Kindle Fire? Do I have to root in order to play it (because I know some games require Chainfire to run)? I'm not rooted (and don't want to root) so I'm hoping it's possible to purchase/play this game without resorting to root/chainfire for it to run.

You need to ask in the game's official forums or contact their support and ask them if it requires root. Or, you can also take a risk and buy it and give it a try.

It works on mine. I was rooted when I got it, but its working unrooted now.

Thanks for the info! But sadly it seems I must root to get it, since Amazon doesn't offer it on their market. Curse them

ICS unlock + root or JB unlock +root

Like the title says, which do you think would be the best way to to go, stick with ICS and unlock and root, or install the OTA for Jelly Bean and then unlock and root? Pros and cons? I just got my tablet and I'm trying to figure out the best course of action.Thanks for any insight!

It depends on your ultimate goal. If you are definitely wanting jb and willing to unlock, then I would update first, then unlock, then root. It's a safer path in my opinion. Note - once you update to jb you can't go back to ICS because jb updates partitions and the bootloader itself.

To be honest I'm not sure, from what I've been reading on this forum a lot of people are unhappy with the JB update, and I know there are JB based roms like Black Bean that I can run on the ICS firmware. On the other hand there are others who say the JB update has improved the I/O. I guess the main thing holding me back from updating to ICS is the lack of flash, my kids also use the tablet for watching youtube or embedded videos on kids sites - is that possible with the stock browser on JB?
Also, I know you can update to JB and keep root, but will the unlocker tool from Asus work again after unlocking ICS as well? Thanks again for any advice!

My jb is fine. Others don't like. I'd just read and judge for yourself. Unlock will work for jb. If you've unlocked on ICS, you don't have to unlock again.

Ok thanks. Can you still watch youtube (website or app)? It's my only real concern since my kids need to be able to. Also, if I unlock ICS can I still flash the JB update manually?

I use the YouTube app with no issue.
As for jb flash, the guide in the general section explains the procedure but I didn't use that piece because I upgraded while locked. I unlocked after.

I am not yet unlocked, if I do upgrade I will unlock after that too. So you can play embedded videos with the stock browser also? A lot of the children's websites my kids use all have Flash content....

Can anyone on JB confirm for me that the stock browser plays embedded videos? As I said it's the only thing stopping me from upgrading as my kids need to be able to view their favoirite websites like this one:

But you CAN install flash on Jelly Bean-upgraded TF300T!
It's just not available on the Play store, but can be 'side-loaded' and installed like any other third party application. ICS version of flash works well on JB.
I can confirm the stock browser on Jelly Bean runs youtube website videos with the flash app. I have the tablet rooted, but not unlocked.
From what I read, the Chrome browser does not play flash, but stock one does.
The link you provided works too! Just have to remember to Request desktop site from the menu in stock browser.
Flash apk 'Guide' / download link here.
Also, if you do not intend changing ROMs, you could just save your root with OTA rootkeeper+SuperSU, update via OTA and resume root courtesy the OTA rootkeeper app. I did that as I didn't want to unlock just yet.

Firstly: Don't bump your own threads - especially not within 24 hours
Secondly, if you had bothered to search then you would have found a few threads with custom ROM dev in the Miscellaneous Android Development so you might find answers/help there
Thirdly, don't expect much as there aren't many people out there with that phone, so dev work and support is highly limited.

firstly i'm sorry i am new user old was used to update play store my phone but i'm my phone apply format and don't update play store It would not normally be

Try install apk

As far as I know, the newest versions of Google Play only run on ICS & JB.. Android 2.3.5 doesn't support them.
I'm not totally sure, but I think that might be the problem.

Certainly GB supports the Play Store fully. The OP might be best off downloading the latest gApps for GB and flashing that onto his device

Actually it since GB. So 2.3.5 is supported.

Okidoki, I had heard something like that somewhere, but seems like I was wrong.
So GB supports alls Google Play Updates, but Froyo doesn't?

I'm was used to update this play store but phone apply format and don't update..

[Q] Google Play Movies possible DRM issue?

Hi folks.
Unlocked TF300T. Tried CleanROM 3.3 and Surdu's Blue Android roms, and Google Play movies app errors out with "could't fetch licence - error 0" or "This rental is expired" on the first movie I ever bought on Play (Life of Pi... $14.99, ouch) . Of course, this happened 10 minutes after I bought it.
Great first experience, eh?
Movie streams to my Razr Maxx and Note 2 just fine. I would be clueless as to DRM stuff, so is that it, a ROM issue, a root issue? Tried unrooting with Voodoo but no go, same errors.
I'd really appreciate some good advice if you can help me.
Thanks!

As far as I know Google won't let you play movies on rooted devices.

Odp: [Q] Google Play Movies possible DRM issue?
Rooting is no problem but unlocking yes - as far I know it removes the DRM Keys, no way to get it back.

Solved. I am unlocked and rooted and still on CleanROM Inheritance 3.3. Sbdags told me to rename a folder and it solved the entire issue. I'm so pleased with his responsiveness.
So: unlocking, rooting, and custom ROM were no problem.

CROMI 3.4 is out for testing and hopefully I have supplied a permanent fix

What exactly do you do to fix this? What folder do I change?

Rename the system/vendor/lib folder to lib.org

I have similar problem with T2 tv2go. Won't work on rooted tab. But Hidemyroot can fix it. Does it work with Google movies too?

While renaming the files allows google movies to play, my HD movies will only play back in SD quality. It's disappointing to watch these on the tablet and looks like complete sh!t using HDMI out.

[Q] Xoom 2 Media Editon (MZ608) - I'm lost

Hello,
I'm new here and yes, I'm a noob.
I recently got myself a Xoom 2 Media Editon (MZ608) as my first tablet. I'm not the kind of person who always needs the latest hard- and software and basicly I'm ok with the installed Android 4.0.4. Unfortunately one of the apps I'd like to use refuses to install on an "old" Android version. And another app, which was already pre-installed, refuses to update for the same reason.
As I said I'm a noob and I never modded a tablet. I searched the web for two hours but now I'm lost. There is so much information and even the guides I found seem to start in the middle. The main problem however is that I found many links and files for Android 3.2.2 and 4.0.4 but nothing helpful for anything more up-to-date.
I really just need anything newer than 4.0.4. It doesn't matter if it's 4.1.x or 4.2.x. Where do I have to go and what do I need to do? Thanks in advance for any help!

I don't believe there is anything more up to date for the media edition Xoom, also no custom recovery is possible so zero custom ROMs.

Thanks for your answer. That's sad news.
Is there at least any way to get an older version of an app from Google Play or to force installation of the new version? And can I get rid of the second app I mentioned? It fails to update and I don't want it anyway.

Actually there is a recovery available for the Xoom 2.
