Hi,
I'm not sure if possible, is there a way to sideload the Amazon video app on the Xoom? Or is it possible? I have Amazon Prime and would like to watch the free movies/tv shows with the same app the Fire uses.
Thanks,
Good idea, since the Fire was just rooted there's probably a system dump over on the Fire forums.
EDIT: And here you go http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1348782
As a workaround, the browser works very well to view Amazon Prime videos as long you have Flash installed. On my stock 4G 3.2.2 system, the video was prone to the occasional stutter. But after rooting and overclocking, The video is flawlessly smooth in full screen HD.

^ this. Also appears that people who are rooting their devices are breaking the app, same with us and the ability to rent movies in the market apparently. Amazon won't let devices that are rooted stream from Amazon Prime.
But I guess we just wait and see. I have Amazon Prime also and would love to just have an App directly for Amazon to utilize it.

Tried on my root'ed Xoom, just get a Force Close every time I try to do anything. I did try on my root'ed Galaxy S2, and I just get the error message about it not being able to play on a device "configured" like that (aka root'ed).
I am curious if anyone with a non-rooted Xoom has had any success.

Just constant FC on my Xoom when I try and select anything as well. Was able to load it on the G2 but says same thing about the configuration.
The Kindle Fire OS is based off of gingerbread so maybe that's the reason for the constant FC on Honeycomb? I don't know.

I unfortunately do not have Verizon service on my Xoom as I travel too much for it to really be useful, since most countries don't really use CDMA so I'm sorry I can't answer that question. Funny since I've restarted the damn thing force closes when I select something to watch.
Also on a side not I'be read that KindleFire users are losing streaming capabilities when they root.

I had the opposite experience when I tried it on my LTE-upgraded, non-rooted Xoom. I can browse the app, but selecting anything results in a force close.
same here on a rooted x00m4g just need a way to login and not force close when i try to access something. Hopefully someone can hack this apk like they did for the netflix app.
Unrooted stock Xoom WiFi. Installs and operates, but FCs whenever I try to watch or buy anything. Needs some tweaking to make it work on the Xoom, evidently.
I have a non-rooted xoom Wi-Fi and it FC's every time.
Has anyone been able to get Amazon Video to play on the Xoom w/out FC?

I believe it is but they added more features, check out the video here.
http://lifehacker.com/5883058/chrome-now-available-on-android-devices-running-ice-cream-sandwich
It is similar as stock android browser but i has a score of 343+10 on html5test.com also it is faster and better looking, more desktop like it has some nice feautures of auto zooming but i got some problems with pinch to zoom
Tested on Desire HD.
does it work on the evo with an ics rom in it or does the rom not matter?

Same thing here. Saw it first thing this morning. Downloaded from market. After typing in a search, never loads web content. UI is there, just no web content. (Currently running evervolv 4.0.3 ICS ROM).
Tried wiping cache and data. Didn't think to try fixing apk uid mismatches. Already uninstalled, though.

Works great on my Nexus S running ICS but cant get it in my Galaxy Tab 10.1 running 3.1, wont even try to install.
Lovely browser though, its streets ahead of the normal one.
The app requires the LEVEL 14 API.. So not sure when the great devs here can get it to work with GINGERBREAD.
I have it running on my epic 4g with cm9 but its a no go on the evo. The UI looks great, I like the functionality of the tabs. Look forward to playing with it on my transformer
Darn, and here I was thinking I could break free of miren... Anyone know if intent works properly on this one? (i.e. you open a Youtube link and it gives you the option to load it in the Youtube app)
Didn't work well for me
I tried it out on my Evo running Drew's P7 build. Uninstalled it after about 5 minutes. It takes up 50 MB of internal storage, wouldn't move to SD, the keyboard was really laggy when typing URLs, the page wouldn't display, and when I went into app management, it was using a whopping 81 MB of RAM.
Maybe I'll revisit this later, but for now it isn't right for my device.
HULU just announced that they now support both the TF101 and the prime. So you can now download the the App directly from Google Play. The Interface is much improved over the converted Xoom version we were lucky to have
Was excited until I installed it and got the message:
Required DRM not supported [93]
Your device does not seem to have support for the required DRM engine.
Please check that you have all the latest updates applied to your device and try again.
I am on AOKP 1.5 (haven't upgraded to 1.6 or 1.7 as it is so stable now).
Edited to fix typo
Trouble with new HULU App
Going back to the modified Xoom apk?
Never worked right for me (previously on Krakd 1.5.2), wouldn't show the list, just a big white area where the shows should be.
I am wondering if it is detecting root and not allowing it. Might have to see if any other tablets are having the same issue (the ones that were added today) and if anyone has resolved it.
Possible that AOKP isn't including that portion due to its very nature.
Read on another thread that it works on rooted stock. Hopefully one of our awesome developers can hack the app like the last one, or find the necessary libs from the stock ROM.
On EOS nightly-14, DRM not supported.. although the set up looks very nice, and just browsing around seems very smooth!

I think the DRM issue has to deal with the adblock that is put in place by the ROM makers. I just switched from Revolver to AOKP and Hulu now no longer works. With Revolver's Spare Parts you can disable adblock. When it was enabled Hulu didn't work, when it was disabled...it did...Now that I am on AOKP adblock comes standard and there is no way to disable it in the settings. While I know enough to follow directions with scripting I don't know how to go about disabling adblock via script on my own, or if it is even possible. I pour over these forums all the time, but never had an opportunity to post anything since all of my would be posts would take place in the developer section. And since there is a 10 post minimum to post there I just continue reading until I find my answer. This situation is to new to have found a workaround for, and I thought I would come out of my shell and post about it. Any help or research into this subject would be fantastically appreciated and I look forward to posting on here time and time again!

I don't think the Ad Block is the primary issue. Revolver is based on the Asus firmware, right? The roms having problems are AOSP based. I'm running Team EOS at the moment (no ad blocking) and I still can't view in the Plus app. I think it has to do with missing libraries that the "supported" tablets have. Hopefully all it takes is someone more knowledgeable than I to pull them out (this is how we can get Polaris to work on AOSP roms).
Now if you go ahead and block ads, this will prevent viewing as well. Just as it does with the cracked version of Hulu Plus (old app).

Heya. Disabling most ad blocks are quite easy. Just open up a terminal using a Terminal Emulator and run the following commands:
su
rm /etc/hosts
echo "127.0.0.1 localhost" >> /etc/hosts
exit
exit
You have to reboot your tablet after doing this (to flush the DNS cache), but ads will be enabled then. If you want to re-enable adblock, I suggest grabbing AdAway from the Google Play Store, which will make enabling/disabling ads easier in the future.

Yeah I think you are correct, I thought about that after I posted it. That makes more sense than just adblocking.
Does anyone know where this required DRM stuff sits? Is it married into Adobe Flash, and we're missing a certain Flash version?
I wanted to get the Nexus 7, my last Android device being my phone the Xperia Arc S. The ability to watch flash on android just did it for me to be honest, because I stream a lot of websites.
However now that Jelly Bean is out, it doesn't support flash anymore. I've heard the arguments "It doesn't matter, HTML5 is rolling out"- Yes, it's ROLLING out, many websites still use Flash and I would like to be able to use that. Is there no way at all to be able to install flash on a fresh Nexus 7 device at the moment?
Yes, just find the apk and sideload it.
Haven't tested it with 4.2,but there are still a couple browsers in Google Play that still support flash (as the stock Chrome browser does not).
Do understand that EVENTUALLY Android will update to a version that breaks compatibility with the Flash app. And when that happens nobody will be there to fix it, Google and Adobe have moved on.

I've read from loads of places that "theoretically" it should work, however I'm not too sure as I tried it out in a store and I couldn't get it to work. I loaded up Dolphin browser after installing the APK file and it didn't work
For some it may seem like a minor issue, however no flash is a deal breaker for me. It's one of the main reasons I left iOS and hopped aboard the Android train, as it allowed a no-restriction user experience

New versions of dolphin do not support flash. You need to find one of the older versions to make it work.

I still got
cm-11-20141112-SNAPSHOT-M12-jem
and
cm-12.1-20161016-NIGHTLY-jem
I'm done with this device, but seems that a lot of people having trouble finding a good Android rom for it. I've tested bunch of other roms such as Candy 5 and Lineage 14 but none of them runs smoothly as CM11.
CM12 is a bit laggy compared to CM11 but both are pretty usable. If you don't mind older 4.4 then use CM11. If you don't mind a bit lag use CM12.
My dad, however (the device is my dad's) manage to get it into bootloop multiple times with CM11, I don't know how; probably because bunch of "booster" craps he installed there, while on my test with daily regular use for about two weeks or so, seems to be VERY stable.
The device itself however, is waaay too old and outdated for more hardware intesive like 3D games and such. I cannot even get the dynamic background on Retroarch, so I don't bother trying it at all. For other casual stuffs, just some very rare occasional hangs while watching youtube, but that's all as far as I can remember. Chrome works well too. 1080p movies can play well with MXPlayer pro.
But in the end rather than get naggings by my dad about the bootloops, I decided to restore it to stock and let him get the apps from amazon appstore. Just so you know that not everybody get the same smooth experience as I do. As my experience goes, CM11 is the best rom for this device. But not to my dad.
Both roms (CM11 and 12) are intended for 8.9" kindle fire JEM (NOT tate)
With that in mind, I have no more use for the roms. So rather than being left to dust and forgotten, any idea where I can upload these roms so it stays online forever? They're about 200 megs each, so about 500 megs.
If there's no good free space/file transfer service, I'm uploading these to Degoo, since I don't use it at all despite its generous space, and probably will forgot about it in the future and it'll stay there forever.
