Kindle Fire in UK exchange capable app - SOLVED

Hi
I have a friend with a Kindle Fire in the UK and is stuck with installing paid for apps. I know you can install .apk files by downloading them directly to the kindle but how do you go about installing paid for apps. We need to access exchange email so looking online touchdown from nitrodesk does this but how can you get the .apk file?
Can somebody recommend either a way to install touchdown including licence or recommend another app that does exchange email that can be downloaded to the kindle fire. I dont want to root the device if possible.
Thanks
Sully

touchdown for smartphones is a free app on the android market
i could download it for you and upload the akp if you like and don't want to root

If he can buy apps why not just buy Touchdown?
What you are asking for is against the rules.
I thought the native email app supported exchange.

That is a 30 day trial

sorry - i wasn't aware that it is just a trial
but a short search on the android market gives a lot of exchange capable apps
also free ones - don't know which are trial and which are not

I just looked the Android native email app supports exchange and active sync but Amazon stripped it out on the Fire, All the more reason to root and install another ROM

I don't think I am asking for anythign against the rules, applogies if it came across that way and no the native app on the kindle fire does not support exchange active sync.
Touchdown is $19.99 on the Kindle, you can download the app which is 30days trial and then you have to purchase another app to activate the product http://www.nitrodesk.com/fire.aspx
The issue is how can you firstly download the apks whilst in the U.K and secondly how can you purchase the activation if you not got US creditcard.
I don't have the Kindle with me yet so I can't try anything out so this is a preemptive question hoping other UK kindlefire users have sorted this already.

Just read that Touchdown provide a link to the apk for the app and activation via email so now providing I don't need a US Creditcard to buy the activation I should be O.K.
Thanks

nitrodesk has also it's own downloads with the apk's
http://www.nitrodesk.com/download.aspx
go there with the browser of kf - download - install
and you'r done

Where r u from? It seems that these will only work in US.

Use titanium backup to defrost them...

Titanium backup requires root. BUT I FOUND A WORKAROUND MYSELF:
1) Update the desired app through the web-based Play Store.
2) Then uninstall it from within the Play Store on the device.
3) TADAAAAA you'll see the app in the apps menu.
4) Update it again from the device.
Hit "Thanks" if I helped.

Another workaround:
Just remove your Google account and re-add it BUT KEEP IN MIND that you have to be connected to a US-based VPN all the time.

What about using MarketAccess or MarketEnabler whilst Wi-Fi is turned on and phone signal and GPS turned off?

When my Play content disappeared my 'fix' was to remove my Google account and re-add it. You'll notice the Accounts option under settings within the Play app itself. So I just switched to a different account (the Play app only seems to let you use one at a time, unlike eg gmail where you can add all of your Android associated accounts) and then back to the original one.
Worked for me anyways, hope it helps :good:

Email Stopping

The Native Email App...not gmail....is Stopping.
Anyone else experiencing this?

Have you removed/froze the "My magazine" app(s)?
For some reason the stock email app is dependent on it.

My email actually didnt stop, per se, it would recieve, but not send any attachments and then finally after the a fore mentioned it worked. btw stock here

Extra US promo code if anyone wants it

For some reason, no one on reddit seemed to want it. PM me your email address, and I'll send you the code. First one gets it.

And it's gone!

Mail app like HTC Sense mail

I've seen some talk around this forum about porting Sense apps into the OP2. That would be great. But in the meantime, being a former HTC guy myself and a lover of the Sense UI, I used the HTC Mail app for my work email which is exchange and also for my personal email which a pop account from my ISP. The HTC Mail app allows for multi folder syncing when setting up the account. But it's not the kind of syncing that just lets you pick any folder you want from your Exchange account. It actually syncs the many different folders and displays all the messages in the main display as well as the POP account. So far I haven't been able to find a third party mail app that will sync with Exchange like this. I have been able to install the HTC mail app but it does not allow for the creation of the Exchange account with that app, only through GMail.
If anyone can make any since of this, I'd appreciate some input/help.
Thanks!

I recently discovered the mail app CloudMagic, it's perfect, at least for me. It allows you to:
- Get instant notifications (I.E. no sync intervals).
- Have separate mailbox for other accounts (I'm using iCloud and Gmail) as well as an "All inboxes" option.
- Manage the folders you wish to sync from each account.
I know it has support for all types of accounts (including Exchange).
Hopefully I'm on the right track.

You don't need a whole new Rom for a couple HTC Apps and the Sense Launcher. In fact you don't even need Root.
Install the HTC Apk's from here: http://www.fulmics.com/htc-sense/
But dont forget first of all you need to install these Apps: HtcServicePack , LocationPicker and HtcLocationServicesSetting

Thanks. I have flashed some of these. There is just a couple of nuances that don't get transferred. Like the exchange account from the mail app doesn't work and I have to use IMAP email instead.
