I have extracted the Amazon Instant Video app from my Google TV device. It opens on the Note 8, you can select videos, but on trying to actually stream the video you selected, it crashes. If there are any talented people on this forum who want to try playing with the .apk file to see if they can fix it, or if there's someone willing to host this file, let me know and I will email it to you.

You would also need to get the Flash enabled version of GTV Chrome working, since that is really what the app relies on.
EDIT: At least that is the case on the Sony NSZ-GT1. If it is different for your device, I'll have a look, but from what research I have done, it is not an easy task & it will involve a few modifications that will not sit well with other apps or the Play Store.
Post it up though, I just got my dev environment setup on my new machine & the missus will be out of town this weekend.
Unfortunately you're right. The Google TV Chrome app will not install on the Note.
There doesn't seem to be a way to post files through the XDA app, but I can email them to whoever wants them.

Well, I have to report that I have had little luck getting this to work on any non-GTV device. I even built an AOSP build with using a GTC boardconfig. No luck.
I am very pissed with Amazon though, so I went & bought a LTE KF HD 8.9 & I am going to play with getting it working on other tablets. Man I hate the Kindle stock experience. Thank goodness for root. I'll let you know if I find a simple way to get it running, but it will take some time as business is wicked crazy right now.
Any luck?

Yes & no. I have firstly been playing with the Nexus 10 & the KF HD 8.9. I was able to finally get AVOD to work on the Nexus 10, BUT, *BUT*, I essentially had toport the entire KF rom to the Nexus 10. It is buggy & there are some graphical & resolution issues, but it worked.
The only other instance I have found was also similar. A guy got it working on a Galaxy Tab, essentially doing the same thing, porting the whole KF rom.
You could of course use a different launcher, but it is still ICS, 4.0.3, & aside from losing a lot of the N10 cool features, it really is far from stable. I don't have a lot of time for this stuff at the moment, work is crazy busy these days. At any rate, I am going to see if I can try to go about it the other way & try to port some of the KF framework & core apps to JB when I get some time. Right now though, it is a no go.

Hi guys i just wanted to share this awesome app. its called tv shows hd. for some reason they removed it from the market, but i just recently found it. the link is http://www.mobileboxs.info/android-apps/tv-shows-hd-v2-9-android/ just click on the megashare mirror and close all popups. click on where it says free download and close popups. then just wait for the countdown and download the apk. install it by either putting it on your sd card or going directly on your phone and downloading it and installing it like any other apk. Enjoy!!!!
UPDATE: I just found the newest version of this app which fixes the full screen problem...http://www.ipmart-forum.com/showthread.php?647650-TV-Shows-HD-v3.0-(free) you have to register to get the app, but hey 10 seconds is a small price to pay for such an awesome app. And the show quality is AWESOME
UPDATE 2: I just figured out how to use dropbox . Here is a link to the apk... http://dl.dropbox.com/u/25647849/TV Shows 3.0.apk
This is awesome. Not ALL shows work but A LOT do. Re-living my childhood watching Are you Afraid of the Dark.
"How I Met Your Mother" at the palm of my hands!!! Awesome!! Thanks for sharing!!!!!
My pleasure guys just trying to spread the android love. If an episode doesn't work just close the app and restart it usually works for me
Any way to make it full screen?
I use "TV Shows Stream". The free version only allows a few shows, but if you just dish out a couple bucks for the paid app, it's well worth it. Tons of shows that update frequently.

i use this too and its awesome!! anybody know of a live tv app? the last one was taken over by the FBI and other legal stuff anybody find a new one?
To make it fullscreen, just long press near the top somewhere until you see the full screen icon on the top left corner
Tv shows stream is like 8 dollars now...too expensive if u ask me. Tv shows Hd is free and the quality is amazing
Whenever I do full screen like 10 seconds later it goes back to un-full screen. Anyone else experiencing this?

Cant get this damn app to work. It searches for servers and then gives me an ad and then black screen. Tried force stoppping, and retarting. Even rebooted my phone. Any advice? Do I need to be on Wifi or is 3G fine? On a rooted Droid X running 2.3.3.

*note, this is backwards compatable with honeycomb and cell phone, it is NOT a stretched out version like the previous market updates and it also still gives u Staff picks for tablets.
*note 2* this will not over write your original market so u will have 2 to choose from"its a good thing imo"
*note 3* we can now leave reviews for the apps
*note 4* new option to use a pin number to download paid apps*
*note 5* it will say it will over write market but it doesnt u just end up with 2
UPDATE. I didn't realize, ton of apps force close now. Deleting the new market and rebooting fixed it. Sux
I'm not saying this doesn't work on the TF, but this it NOT for HoneyComb as stated in the big red alert box in the article. This is for Phones. Have you actually used it? Can you upload some screenshots on your TF?
Am I missing something, or is this the market update that rolled out on phones weeks ago and actually has nothing to do with our tablet android market?
i should have mentions 2 things, this does not write over your market, so in turn u will have 2 markets to choose from* thats a plus * also dont listing to what they say in that link its def also for honeycomb and not a streched out version of the market
I would upload a pic but it is not letting me, it wants me to replace my current market...
Sent from my Transformer TF101 using XDA Premium App
This actually caused issues in a variety of apps when it was released. News Republic was the one I had trouble with. Basically, it would FC on startup. Rolled back to stock market and it was fine again.
This is not 100% compatible with Honeycomb
EDIT: btw, I was not the only one to report issues

Just installed this, It works great and looks very nice.
It does indeed install a second market, so you still have the old one if you want to use it.
the interface seems more tablet optimised, you can swipe the screen to the side to reveal more lists etc for example.
thx for the share! love the design of the new market app! I can easily post some screens if people want me to
hopefully not a dumb question, but after download when installing it says this is a system app and will replace the previous system app. Will this replace the other mkt or overwrite it
I know others said there would be 2 mkts but did others get that pop-up.
I just wanted to make sure before I went thru with it...

yea we all get the pop up but just hit ok it wont over write it
Yep, i got that message as well, but as said, it does not replace it, you get 2 market icons in your app drawer, one for each version, and they both run fine still.
It's interesting that it has the action bar in it, which makes me think they're working on getting it to tablets as well.
I loved the look of it, and browsed it for a good 10 minutes. Then i tried to play sprinkle and it kept force closing....I tried riptide and it force closed....i tried Big Bang Racing and it force closed...
I removed it and somehow everything works again....this market does have problems so to save everyone else the time, dont download it because you will love the look of it and be forced to uninstall it due to FC issues sadly

You can't change anything since it's within the app itself. I have that issue on ICS too. It's just an error on Microsoft's part, our device is more than capable to run the app if Kinectimals runs like butter. Just hang in there buddy, it'll get sorted out soon.
Can I change my build.prop to make it work
Sent from my Kindle Fire using xda premium

No changing your build.prop does not fix it to the best of my knowledge. I believe it is a screen size/resolution problem, I believe they will address it when they update the app. If I hear differently I will let you know.

I recently pulled the Wired Magazine .apk from a cousin's Kindle Fire, and have found that it works well on the Nexus 7, and presumably other tablets. The current version is ̶2̶.̶7̶.̶0̶.̶1̶1̶.̶6̶0̶2̶0̶1̶ 2.9, and the only downside is that it seems like the magazine itself does not fill the entire screen while in viewing mode.
Some prerequisites:
-both Adobe Air and the Amazon Appstore must be installed (you must be logged in, too) for the app to function
-if you have an ad blocker installed, you must add any any websites that include adobe to your whitelist. Mine included "broker.adobe.com" and "stats.adobe.com". This might not be necessarily, but it is a good precaution. If you ignore this and the app crashes, uninstall it and add them.
Just install the app normally after checking the first two things. Also, you must have already purchased the magazines (at least in my testing). If you have a print subscription, I would advise creating your account on a computer, not in the app.

The Kindle Fire HD is the same screen resolution, but the regular Kindle Fire is not. It's 1024x600 vs 1280x800, a short coming of ~200 pixels in each direction. This could explain the black edges. Maybe it defaults to the 1024x600 resolution unless it sees some indication of being on a Fire HD (ie: build.prop or other file). If so, I imagine there could be a fix for this to mimic the HD and get the full resolution.
OR, Wired could just release the damn app for all Android platforms. :silly:

I think you're right, but I unfortunately don't have access to a Fire HD. I think they use different versions on each different model, so that might be why. That is a complete guess, through.

Yeah, F* that. Wired will give a free interactive digital issue to iPad and Kindle owners, but charge existing subscribers extra for some crappy PDF version that I could download for free from a number of places.
If Wired doesn't change it's tune, I'm planning on cancelling once my current subscription is over - just on principle.

I used to get this error on my Nook Color but was able to successfully ignore it. Make sure you have the Amazon App store installed, logged in and updated. I think you also need Adobe Air. If you haven't already, "purchase" the Wired app in the Amazon app store via the web. It won't let you download the app and will say your device isn't compatible, but maybe it will get rid of the ownership message. I'm guessing here, so no promises this will fix anything.
Still not working on my n7. I've gotten it to work on my cm7 nook color, but I've tried everything on my n7. I've even re-installed the amazon app store and adobe air. I've also tried the previous version of the wired magazine apk. I get everything to install and open normally, I just can't log in to download my subscriptions. Anyone have any other suggestions?
The messed up thing about this is that it was a wired article that I was reading on my nook color that made me want to upgrade to the n7.

Make sure you disable any ad blocking software or changes made to your hosts file to block ads. This prevents you from logging in to the app.
Thanks, but I'm not running any ad blocking software (unless there's a native app on the n7 that's doing this and I'm not aware of it).

If you have Adobe Air installed, then I don't know what you can do. Try uninstalling Air and the Wired, and then re-install them. If that doesn't work, I don't know what to tell you. Wired doesn't offer ANY support so you're just out of luck.

Some browsers are flash-compatible, but just test the sites you want to use on an Android device you already have - see if it works. If so, you're good.
Otherwise, you might consider building a mini computer for the task. Also a good idea because Flash is no longer officially supported and may stop working at any time since it's not going to be updated any more.
