Hi all,
My KF has been rooted and it has Go Launcher on it. However I can't open pdf file even it recognizes the file (the adobe acrobat icon next to the file name). Whenever I try to open the file, there's always a pop-up screen asking me to register to Amazon (I already created an account before but no matter how arduous I try, I'm not able to log in). Please advise

Have you tried Adobe PDF Reader or Aldiko?

thanks for the suggestion, but I would like to use KF's native pdf reader instead of using another app.

Well, If you do not want to take someones advice why ask for help?
only way you are going to use the kindles native reader is f you install all of the amazon system apps and have the core libraries functioning.... which can be done with careful mod work on cm7 but isnt worthwhile imho.

Thanks for your explanation, I guess I don't have other choices beside installing another pdf reader app then.

I've seen that people have had success getting Hulu to work on their webtop/lapdock, but does anyone know of a way to get it to work on the phone itself?
I know with the Droid X and some other phones, you can trick hulu by editing your flash library to show that it's a Windows device instead of Android. Is this possible on the Atrix?
I'm using playon to watch hulu videos. basically just streams from desktop but works well. Sadly, netflix is not supported.
I don't think that's free though, is it?
I'm sure the flash player can be made to work on the Atrix, just as it has for other devices. If I have some spare cycles I'll try and get a modded library posted.
EDIT: It works fine. Attached is the modded library that should be unzipped and copied to /data/data/com.adobe.flashplayer/lib. Using a browser that supports user agent settings (e.g. Dolphin HD), set it to Desktop, enable Plugins (Always seems to work better than On Demand) and then browse to Hulu. Profit.
Worked for me.
Just wanted to say thanks.

How did you do it? I used astro file manager and I can't find the data/data/com/adobe/flashplayer/lib
I've been considering the Atrix. I still have a captivate lying around, does anyone know if this will work with the captivate? Or the Inspire?

It might work if the versions are the same (10.1.120.10).

yokozuna82 is right..
I have my atrix rooted and I used rootexplorer to backup the original file - then I replaced with the one agentdr8 posted.

Works now! I had wrong permissions on the file..
for me, it bypasses the "platform not supported" error and starts to play, but I only get audio and no video

I didn't pay anything for it. Downloaded the free app from the market, then downloaded the desktop/pc install for it.
Just checked, guess it was free for 14 days. Hmmm. Might not work for me then after next week.
So, in that case, er, carry on, nothing to see here.

Odd. What browser are you using? What is your user agent setting? What is your plugin setting? Are you using the stock Flash Player, not the one from the Market?
Dolphin HD, Desktop, Always on
come to think of it, I think I did download the one from the market. Do I need to revert to the stock one? If so, how do I go about doing that?
Remove the market version and if you have root access to your phone, try copying the flashplayer.apk from /preinstall to /system/app and reboot.
hm, I don't see any apks there. In /preinstall/app, there's a com.adobe.flashplayer file, but it's not an .apk. I tried renaming it as an apk and putting it in the system/app directory, but that didn't work
nevermind, i installed the tegra2 version of the flash player someone leaked on the boards, and that seemed to fix the issue.
thanks!

The version for the Tegra 2 is not compatible with the Captivate (10.1.106.16) its hardware specific from what I have read. You could prob mod the lib for the above specific version through.
Is it supposed to show up? Because they're not.
Quite annoying I have to open up Adobe PDF Reader, and search under there instead of just clicking from the Documents section. I mean PDF is supported, according to the Kindle Fire user guide.
I don't know if PDF files are supposed to be under documents. Why don't you move them there your self using ES File Explorer or Astro File Manager?
Sent from my Kindle Fire using xda premium
I did. It's in the documents folder, and not showing. Was wondering if I was doing something wrong.
Might be a formatting issue on the PDF?
I put a few on the wifes totally stock and mine rooted with ADW EX and both have the pdfs under documents.

I don't think the Documents folder is where you should put your files because I went in that folder and I didn't see my Kindle Fire User Guide. All I saw were 2 files named Thank You Letter. And I have not touched the Documents folder since I got my Kindle.

The only way I have been able to get PDFs to show up in the "docs" area is to email them to my [email protected]. They eventually show up.

Yeah, currently if you port them via USB they should be in gallery.
I thought I saw something about it being related to the Metadata of the file, but can't find the link atm.
Well now that I've found it this is about ebooks going to docs rather than books. Guess it's possible that this is an issue here too. But emailing them seems easiest.

How do you access your Kindle email?
Sent from my Kindle Fire using xda premium
You should just be able to hit sync and it should download your pending docs. You may have to fully power down and restart for it to work. I don't think there is a way to "access" that email as it just sends it directly to your Kindle.
For my work we use kinnser.com to track our patients info. We do receive efax and can attatch pdf into this online website. We can open these pdf from any computer. Calling kinnser support, they stated both Android and iOS cannot open the pdf from kinnser.com. I have tried on my rooted Evo running Mik 3.0, totally stock non-rooted Evo, Lenovo K1 tablet, and ASUS TF-101 to confirm this. When I click on the pdf attatchment, I would get the normal downloading started message. I would then click to view the progress of the download and it would stay at 0%. Would you know if there is something that is preventing me from opening the pdf from anything other than a PC? Thanks.
Not being able to download it is a different problem from not being able to open it. If you can't download it, perhaps they have a secure server or something. Are you trying to open from an email app or from a web browser?
Web browser
I currently have cm7 and as soon as I click a link in browser it automatically downloads the PDF. And is read with adobe reader app.
I cannot recreate this issue.

Since they told you the option want available on Android, I would assume that's specifically the website and that it wouldn't work. However you can try to set the user agent to desktop. I have been able to download files with Opera Mobile that wouldn't download with other browsers, perhaps you could try using the desktop ua with Opera and see if it works.
If not then I'd think you're sol without the website adding the ability.
Pure brilliant, that's it. I installed Opera and boom, I was able to open up the pdf in Kinnser. I guess the stock browser doesn't like to do it. Thanks everyone as always.

Glad you got it working. Opera Mobile has always been good about downloading files from sites that other browsers couldn't handle for whatever reason.

The other big reason I keep Opera installed as a backup browser is because of its support for "browse local device" on websites, a feature most android browsers shockingly lack.

My documents are not opening on the "Amazon Launcher" anymore.
Once i touch the file on the grid, it "flashes" (indicating the "click/touch") but nothing happens.
Also, my Documents on the "sdcard" folder are not showing up on the "Device" tab, is there any specific folder i have to put them ?
I installed two apps "Quick Office" and "Office Suite", i dont know if it makes any difference but, who knows.
What can be happening?
Info : Rooted 6.3 Kindle Fire - No Custom Rom
Thanks in advance.
Bumping Thread.
Sorry for doing this, but, i need to make the documents tab work
The location of the document folder is user configurable through setting option as part of office application. You may create a new folder to store your docs or you can use icloude services.

This is pretty cool. You can mirror your Note on your PC and control it using your PC's keyboard and mouse. It's a great way of editing and reviewing S Notes on your PC while they are still in native form on the Note. It connects either over USB (with debugging turned on) or over Wi-Fi.
Here's the desktop app...
http://www.mobizen.com/en/?page_id=236
Here's the Play store app for the Note...
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...51bGwsMSwxLDMsImNvbS5yc3VwcG9ydC5tdmFnZW50Il0.
I can confirm this works well with the Note 10.1, thanks for the heads-up. :good:
Edit: You have to download the APK from their website as the market version reports it is incompatible with the Note. The downloaded version has the correct skin for the note.
Great app but it`s not showing the proper skin for me (downloaded and installed the apk from their site version 1.0.1.26).
Anyone wanna post the apk file, play store says it's incompatible with ALL my toys and can't find the apk file on the mobizen site.....
Doesn't help I just finished work and have to start again in 7 1/2 hours....

The desktop app reads the device's model number when it connects. I have a N8000 and it worked fine. It also worked for my N7100. I don't know about the N8010/13 or non-international versions of Samsung's devices. The company that built the app is in Germany and probably doesn't know the N8013 even exists (as well as Samsung phones with carrier specific model numbers).
Well it`s woking fine with my note2 (n7100) too and showing with the proper skin. I have the n8000 but for some reason it`s not showing the proper skin. Anyway as long as it`s working ..... Thx for the great recommendation!

This is a great tool, thank you very much for sharing! I have it installed and it is working very well.
This is exactly what I was looking for, something that allows me to easily connect to my Note and utilize S notes (or whatever) with my computer keyboard.
I have plenty of work documentation that I can now easily copy and paste into S notes, and this saves me a lot of time retyping everything. :good:

Reading the user reviews in Google Play, a lot state that they took away WIFI. Can someone confirm that? I'd really love this if it could be used over WIFI.
Maybe downloading the apk from the link provided early instead of downloading it from Google Play will still have WIFI available??
Can you tell me how you copy paste into the tab using this tool.. I want to copy text from PC and paste into tab using mobizen screen.

After you install it on the device and start it, it asks you if you want to download the wireless module (APK) to use it over Wi-Fi. Still works for me. Once it's set up, all you need to do is start the desktop app and it automatically finds and starts the app on the device if its connected to Wi-Fi.
