I downloaded Sonic CD and it loaded fine without errors, but it does not play fullscreen. So it's pretty much unusable at this time. Would a build.prop edit fix this? Any other suggestions?

Works fine for me on CM7. It seems to work for some and not for others. Try adjusting your lcd density?
I found a solution and posted it in the thread mentioned in the last post. ^

Thank you; great idea. Now, just can't seem to get the SD card files to load from within the app. :-( Seems to be a common reason why this app is getting some pretty bad reviews.

Anyone having the problem with Netflix A/V being out of sync? Any suggestions on fixes?
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium
I installed Netflix from the Amazon Appstore and briefly watched about 15 minutes of a movie. Worked well for me so far. Did the a/v out of sync take a long time to be noticeable, or was it immediately?
I've been having problems with netflix as well. I set a static ip and set the dns to gooogles servers and it seems to be working a little better. The sound can be just slightly off at times, but before it was skipping a great bit.

Noticed as soon as I saw a mouth. And as far as static IP, i don't know how much this will help me.

I had this problem, and looking over reviews in the Amazon Appstore, so did many others.
I found an APK for v1.4 online and that seems to not have this issue.

Have you tried playing the video on another device like your PC? Sometimes it's the content that's the problem and not the device.
been hearing about this for a few days now. I really would like to get my hands on a Kindle Fire (more so after the root has been announced) so my question now is that this "a/v out of sync" issue, is it just for the version of netflix on the amazon app store (i know that one's different from the phone version, its apparently "optimized for tablets") or does it apply to a netflix apk sideloaded (from perhaps a HTC Sensation?)
Hulu+ is PERFECT
Hulu+ is perfect, if you're into TV. No glitching, sync problems, or anything.
I ended up removing the app, rebooting, installing again and now netflix seems much better than before.

I haven't noticed this yet on the Fire but with the PS3 app it happens quite often.
I noticed this as well, but it seemed to clear up afetr a reboot. I've heard that other devices have started seeing issues only after the netflix update that came out last week. So not sure where the problem lies...
I've been trying out the modded version of netflix found over a PPCGeeks. I've so found found the "Isystems-Netflix1.4.1-XH264-Tablet-Wizard-RR.apk" file to run the best on the Fire. The stream quality is improved, rotation is enabled, and audio is in sync.
Ok folks, so I rooted and got CM7 up and running on my KF.
I am coming from my evo that has cm on it, and know what works well. I was wondering if we could get some input here as to what apps people really love for their kindle.
What apps suit the Kindle more so than other devices etc?
Basically....if you have a kindle fire...what apps or games can you not live without?
Kindle app is a must have
Wunderlist task manager, Evernote(note taking app), ComicRack eComic reader, EZ PDF Reader, Sketchbook Mobile
Screen Dim is a must to reduce the screen brightness while reading.
File Expert is the perfect file explorer.
Wifi explorer pro is top notch for file transfers
DROPBOX hands down incredible

SPB Shell 3D...runs you a cool $15 but it's well worth it if you have multiple devices.

I actually prefer Box to Dropbox nowadays. The major reason is that I got a free upgrade to 50gigs.

I tried SPB Shell a while ago and had a lot of FC issues. That and it just seemed way over-priced to me.
any way to make adw ex look better? i have it and like it but the ensity hack is no where near as good as go launcher. but i dont want to use go launcher because i cant customize it the way i want
Netflix and Remote VNC Pro. I use them every day.
Don't forget KeePass for managing your passwords and credentials.
Store the KeePass database in your Dropbox folder to sync it across multiple devices.
Castle Wars is also a very fun game!
Craigslist has an app which is very useful and saves your searches and constantly updates them...very cool to keep up with steals ya na what i mean
also, i dont recommend the facebook app...it's always been very trashy from my user experience both on the phone and kf
teamviewer is also a very very useful app to access your home based computer or work based computer and email files through the net which you forgot to put in your cloud maybe
All great apps on my phone, but even better with the Kindle Fire's excellent audio and video:
Netflix, YouTube, MX Video Player, Google Maps, Google Earth, YouVersion, IP Cam Viewer, RealVNC Viewer, Unified Remote, ADW Launcher.
I have searched and Googled this with no success, so forgive me if its been covered....
Nook Color rooted running Phiremod 7.2. YouTube app launches and connects to search, but any video chosen gives response" unable to play..tap here to RETRY"
Is this common? Any known fix?

I had this problem too with my NC running Cyanogenmod. Any ways, it turns out that the current Youtube app doesn't work with HD videos. If you unclicked HD, it would probably work. If you want HD videos, look for the 2.1.6 apk. I forgot where I downloaded it. It was on XDA, though. Check Google for "YouTube 2.1.6"

Hey all,
I have the wired kindle app and it used to work great on my nook running cm9 but now force closes on the n7. Anyone know why and how I could fix it?
Thanks.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
apps designed for the kindle fire will not work with the Nexus 7. there is no way around this.
you can install the amazon app store and install apps from their, but kindle fire apps will not work.
Can I ask why?
Would it work on a custom Rom? For instance once cm10 is released, couldn't it work then?
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
incredibly unlikely.
The kindle fire uses an insanely customized version of android like the Nook Color and apps that are made specifically for those devices won't work on any other version of android.
In some cases they can work on other devices, such as the amazon video on demand app which can work on a nook color running CM7, but it won't work on any device not running android 2.3 and on a 1024x600 resolution.

That's weird because it was working fine on my nook color running cm9.
Maybe if the new kindle comes out at a higher resolution and the woods are optimized for that...then maybe that'll work.
Thanks for your help.

as i said, the Amazon VOD app worked on the nook color because it was the exact same version of android and the same resolution.
Any other variant and it won't work. Now yes the new kindle fire will have a larger resolution. but there it could be the same situation. same android version + same resolution otherwise it won't work.
Don't know if I'm posting this in the correct forum, but I wanted to post about how well n64oid runs on kf. Not sure if you would have to be rooted, I am , but if you want to take a trip back to the n64 days, I have had great luck with it. I downloaded it from mediafire, and side loaded it, and have been getting Roms from getyourrom.com. you can download the roms straight from the kindle without haveing to use the computrr at all. super Mario 64 runs great, and is actually very playable with the touch screen controls. Hope this post will help anyone who has been looking for one.
I would reccommend:
Super Mario 64
Starfox.64
Banjo kazooie
all the classics are on getyourrom.com

I can't get any downloads to work. Do I need to register with that site in order to get ROMs?
Ok, when I try to download a ROM it will act like its downloading then it will say download complete but the ROM file is basically an empty file.
I have tried two different browsers.
Your thoughts?
I download the Roms straight from the Link Removed after you click the Rom you want, a timer will appear then when its done, click download and it will. After pull up, n64oid and click your Rom. Hope this helps.

FSM Edit - I have removed the link for the website allowing you to download emulator Roms, this contributs towards warez.
I use firefox on the kf, and no you do not have to register. I'm not a member. I have noticed you have a daily download limit as a non member but its a pretty large amount.

I get very good performance of N64oid on the Kindle, rooted of course. Using the emulator on the stock OS resulted in intermittent lag but still good. On the rooted Kindle setting the CPU governor to performance and setting max frequency to 1008MHz delivers "almost" picture perfect emulation, no audio or animation stutters. I only did that set up for test purposes as I don't like running the performance gov for very long.....especially at 1GHz.....really don't like it at 1.2!
.....when you hit the walls of sanity, you have no-where to go.....
I need the link please post it for me then remove it again please I wanna lay !y chi
shops vs!as on this Amazon fire tablet I don't recommend this tablet to anyone it restricts you from tons of other apps
