Ok so I was checking out Google Play because Zite was just released and found that on the website it said that the app was compatible with my Amazon Kindle Fire! Mind you I'm at work on my iPhone, so I thought that's weird. I pressed install and it said that the app would be sent to my Amazon Kindle Fire shortly! Of course I can't verify that it worked. My KF is at home. Can anyone verify that the google store works with their KF. I have the google framework but no root and the latest just released version 6.3 installed so that may be why. How cool if we could buy apps on Google Play!
the google store is working with the kf - i think since december last year
correct me someone if i'm wrong
It's been working all along but it is currently experiencing some major issues.
The Play store seems to work better for me then the old store. But in the last 24 hours it seems like its having some issues.
So how do you install an app from the play website that you've purchased without being rooted?

I have google play installed , I'm not rooted, but I'm able to download free books and songs with no problems. The moment I try to install an app or update an app it forcecloses. I should be able to use google play to its fullest if I can download books and music.........wth..

Thanks in advance.

Need a build prop that is compatible to run order and chaos for the fire running CM9. Any help would be appreciated

Any time I had issue with getting an app to work. I'd buy it off my GSII or Amaze. Then back up the APK and push it to my Mytouch 4G Slide. You bought it, so there's nothing wroung with pushing it to another device. As long as its yours.
::HTC Doubleshot:: Virt. Inq v2.
I had to uninstall Hellfire CM7 and ReloadedROM CM9 because neither one allows me to install any of the "Kindle Fire Edition" games that i bought off amazon store.
In addition, most of the games don't show up in google play store either. My phone can't download them as it says not compatible either so I have no way to officially download the games that I bought.
I think we have to use MODACO ROM for now. It is the only usable ROM if you want to watch movies, use Play music and play the games for Kindle Fire without frustration. No CM7 or CM9 that I have tried can do any of this as well as MODACO.
If anyone can come up with a way for the games to work please let us know it would make those great ROMS worth using. I know the HWA will be solved soon with the new kernel, so maybe that would fix most trouble?
Idk I love the ics cm9 Roms just need to games to follow Me there.... that's what's holding me back

yup I am looking for one as well but no luck
I also can't seem to find anything on getting flash working.
Is it the same procedure as on the nexus 7?

Is this the standard, "Use Flash + web browser" way?
The actual Amazon Video app would be sweet. I've been digging through old threads going back to the original Fire trying to get this going on my N7 this weekend. Video quality aside, it would be nice to get everything going so you can download videos to device. For, hypothetically, loading "A Charlie Brown Christmas" or somesuch for the flight home next week.
Anyhow, so far I understand this may be a pipe dream. But if anyone has any more recent tips on Amazon Video + Nexus, please hit me up. So far the farthest I can get is registering my N7 as a device (shows up in Amazon even), seeing my account and videos, but then FC upon clicking on any vids.
One more try, then... *starts digging through newest KFHD dump*

New Amazon Instant Video App
Today Amazon Instant Video arrived to the Google Play Store. Unfortunately, it is only compatible with Google TV. Considering it can run on those, which are essentially android, why not try to find a way to get it to run on our phones and tablets. Considering the screen-shots they have on the Play link, it could be used on our devices. There has to be a way, maybe by editing the build.prop, to get Google Play to think that your phone or tablet is actually a Google TV. I tried a few things but could not manage to get it to work, but I'm sure someone with more experience could figure this one out.
Update: I recently saw that there is a Google Play version for Google TV on the Play Store so maybe that could help if we could get that running on a device.

We have a thread going over on the Kindle HD forum, and I've been trying to get this download by using a build.prop change. From what I can find online its only compatible with new LG TVs, the 47G2 and 55G2. And from a youtube review of one of these TVs the device name was "LG Google TV" so I tried a build.prop with manufacturer "lge" (since thats what they use on other devices IIRC) and device name "LG Google TV". Yet it still showed as incompatible.
If we could just get a copy of this apk, maybe it will work. Still don't know why Amazon can't release a native Android app. The apk from the OG Kindle Fire works on GB but FCs on ICS and JB. The apk from the 2nd gen Kindle Fire HD FCs on everything.
FWIW here is teh list of compatible devices.

"compatible" how? browser + flash, or the video app?
I'm trying this method with MarketHelper, along with RootCloak module when needed ... in order to use an amazon app, not a browser.

Are you entirely positive it's the Play Store and not a per app dpi setting that you may have changed in paprefs? Using PA and Play Store 4.1.6 the game is shown as compatible and available. As such, the issue is likely to be on your end and not anything caused by the Play Store.

Can anyone tell me if the Amazon Instant Video APK works on the Shield Console TV
http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/amazon-mobile-llc/instant-video/
Yes, works but it required me to sideload Chrome and have a mouse to click on the video to watch it. So not exactly ideal.
i love my bluetooth keyboard and mouse. i uninstalled the software keyboard
No need to sideload chrome you can install amazon instant video the same way you would install it on a phone you have to install amazon app store, amazon shopping store off of amazon website and Amazon instant video android app works great

Still no solution to this and it's 4 months later! I understand these are competing platforms, but if there's previously a working apk for honeycomb, I just don't get how no one has found a working combo for Lollipop (nvidia shield) yet! Or am I wrong??
