[Q] android market apps will not download

Hi guys,
I have rooted my kindle fire with burritoroot and i got the market to work with openmarket. I am able to log in successfully and hit install on several apps. They sit at download starting. I have rebooted several times. Any ideas on a fix. I have also tried the web store and the same result.
Thanks

Update, I have also tried it at work and I am still getting the same problem with the download just sitting at starting download.

Go to applications, and select the market. Then clear Data.
Try it again.

I tried this and still the same result, I also went on my home router and forwarded port 5228 because I read on several sites that is the port that the android market uses.

I use many android devices in the same site without having to forward anything. I doubt that is your issue.

Ok, I was just trying to rule out anything on the my network end while trying to troubleshoot the device.

Would i be able to download apps from the android market on my computer and transfer them to my fire?

I am going to try putting the google talk app on the fire and seeing if i can sign in to see if that fixes the issue. I have read in many places that it fixes it for many android phones.

You may be using an older version of the market. The instrucions say to use vending.apk, but I actually ended up having to use com.amarket.apk. A lot of people were having this issue. Repeat the data/cache wipe after installing the new one.

Yes, or just pull them from your phone. Dropbox is very handy for sideloading apps. Just make sure you have installation of unknown sources enabled under Settings>More>Device

should i uninstall market opener and vending.apk before i install the the other market app?

Oh ok I was going to suggest turning off the firewall to download but nevermind. Its almost definitely the vending.apk vs com.amarket.apk issue. I had a similar problem. Also, for some reason File Expert would not keep the permissions changed when I changed them. I sideloaded Root Explorer and it worked like a charm. Good luck getting it working.

[Q] Is wireless push/sync possible?

I have a BNRV300 (nook simple touch) ... is there any way to 'push' epub files to it over wifi?
Thanks!

Yes but all methods require that you root your NST.
And if you choose to root your device, be sure to make a backup FIRST!
And make sure your backup file is ~1.82GB .. if less then you did it wrong!
I cannot emphasize this enough, every week we see one or more totally bricked Nooks because people either failed to make a backup, or did it wrong, and when you total it, well, it cannot be fixed unless you return it to B&N, simple as that!

OK, thanks; I figured I'd have to root it.
Does rooting remove the B&N reader software?
Would I then have to install a 3rd party ereader?
Does it basically become an AOSP android device?

Leaves all of it there. Though if you wanted to, you could install another reader app.

I tried using ADB over wifi to push epubs and while they copy fine and appear in the Library app, the reader app can't access them. I asume because the file ownership is wrong? Aldiko opens them fine.
Any way to fix this?

Check this thread once you have rooted your nook.

You can use Calibre to wirelessly sync your books to your nook.
Need to have Calibre on your computer and on your Nook.

I use dropbox with dropsync. You csn have it check for changes and sync or manuakly sync. It works great!
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium

Thanks for the suggestions, I tried Renate's adbsync tool but still have the same issue with the Nook's stock reader not being able to read the file. Wondering now if it's down to the particular root tool I used - loney's "UK 1.2.0 Glow ONLY TFU Software Upgrade"
I imagine Calibre would work fine but I'm happy with the stock reader for now and don't need to sync a lot of files - doing them manually with adb push isn't an issue.

What firmware version was on your nook before you rooted?
loney's rooting tool is for UK Nook's with fw 1.2
if you have a US Nook glow or non-glow with fw 1.2 then root with Tinynoot.
if you have a US Nook glow with fw 1.1.5 then root with Glownooter

It's a UK nook that came with fw 1.2. Have now realised that after a reboot the stock Reader can access the files, will carry on investigating.

[Q] Kindle apk request

I accidentally replaced the contacts apk's on my Kindle Fire with the apk's from my Android phone (thinking it would import my full contacts instead of just the name and phone number) and now my contacts don't work and googleservicesframework keeps force closing...I know, I should have made a backup first. Dumb. I'm still learning.
If anyone has the Kindle: accountandsyscsettings.apk and .odex,contactsprovider.apk and odex I would appreciate it very very much. Thanks.

Just download the update.zip from the Amazon site and pull the files from it.

OH MAN do I feel dumb. Thanks! That worked perfectly. I always do this kinds thing when I first root a device. I need to be more careful with system apps.

This is probably a little off topic Airmaxx23....
...but how do I get my kindle reader back. I am on CM7 and was wondering if there is a way to access books as I would on stock?

Yeah, download the zip update from amazon, unarchive it, and put the launcher on your kindle.

Just use the Kindle app from the Android Market.

I use the app from the market and honestly I think its better than the original one that came with the kindle.

Missing Features from CM10.2

So, I finally went through the process of rooting my KFHD7 yesterday and installing CM10.2. I have to say, this was the best thing I've done with my Kindle since I purchased it. One thing that I'm disappointed with is the loss of ability to borrow books through the kindle owner's lending library. I knew this was going to be the case going in, but I'm still determined to find a way to get my monthly quota of free books - after all, they're dependent not on my owning a Kindle, but on my owning a Kindle and paying $90/yr or whatever we're paying for Prime now. I'm paying for it, so I want it, right?
Anyway, what I'm wondering is whether I can just download my books through the Fire Emulator? I set it up and was able to register it under my amazon account, but there's no bookstore. Anyone know if I would have success were I to get the .apk from my original fire install and sideload it into the emulator?
I made a backup of my fire before rooting and flashing, but I don't know how to extract the apk from the .img file. Anyone know how to do this? Or maybe some other approach?

Kindle bookstore. I was able to mount my backup and extract all the .apk's from my original kindle os install. The bookstore just crashed though. I tried installing all of the .apks to see if I there might be a dependency somewhere, but nothing worked. All the apps from my backup just crash.

Can't be done. The work it would take to make three stock OS Alps work with Jelly Bean would be more effort than is worth. They really on certain libraries in the stock OS that aren't in Jelly Bean.

Sorry, I guessed I was a little rushed in my reading. I think you would have to make the apps part of the system partition (push it to /system/app/).

....install from zip
If the process is the same on aftv then use adbfire to push the SprtsDvl zip to your storage.
Then on xbmc? Assuming your running that on the aftv..since you didnt make any mention of just stated you wanted to install on aftv.
Anyway.
Xbmc go to settings/addons/install from zip/sd or storage/bottom of list will be your zip/install/enjoy.

i try that and put error script, no dependeance error too, if you have one plugins work with that method please share.

Ill assume its because its not playing well with sportsdevil

If you happen to have Sports Devil running on another device with XBMC on it (ipad, ect) you can download XBMC Backup on that device and perform a backup of your XBMC. I saved the file to my NAS. Then download XBMC Backup on your Fire TV and do a restore. I have done this on multiple boxes and sticks and it works great.

How i can backup on me pc to pass to xbmc amazon fire tv, if its possible, can put the stetps to do please.

I am using adbFire and found this same sequence on line. I cannot get it to work. I go into the program, push the zip to add ons or sd card (tried both) and it just does not appear on the kodi on the fire tv. I have looked in every folder and can't find it. I started with root/sd card since that's what I saw elsewhere. Any ideas?

You can just download it on your Fire TV then unzip it and move the folder to your addons folder. People are still updating the sportsdevil addon and there are a few places that you can find the updates. The latest version is 1/15/2015. Just google it to find the download.

I couldn't find a recent link either. I found a page with many sportsdevil video plugin zips but when I push it to aftv it doesn't show up for some odd reason. I tried pushing to different locations. I understand not posting those links but if a pm is ok I'd like to get it working, but it's not urgent because I mostly use it for baseball games in spring/summer.

Here is the repo for sports devil
