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.

Has STILL no one been able to get this apk?? That just seems so incredible.
One the reasons I bought the Kindle was because of I believe it's called miracast where you can project your tablet onto your tv. What ever happened to it? Or is there something else I can do?

I forgot Android app Twonky works also, but I had problems Beaming Mythtv HD file to my SD tv. It worked otherwise.
AllCast is also an alternative if you have a roku or apple TV. I have tested it on both and movies play flawlessly. It also supports viewing pictures and streaming music.

You guys know of anything that'll work with xbox?
PlayOn works with Xbox for streaming . http://www.playon.tv/supported-devices
The miracast adapters above are needed to do full second screen mirroring. Hopefully Roku will update their device soon to allow it as well.

Yeah, personally, I'd stay away from the "HDX Certified" Netgear Push2TV device. It is utter rubish. All kinds of resolution issues (you can fix with an app, but still, shouldn't have too) & the audio is marginal at best. I have an Onkyo TX5010-NR, which is one of the baddest receivers around (& I've tested/owned lots). Chromecast will support 5.1 Dolby & PCM, so will numerous other options, including SlimPort (I have an HDMI 1.4b certified SlimPort/MyDP dongle) which also works flawlessly in regards to audio, even up to 8 channels. The NetGear HDX Certified device though only outputs 2.0 PCM. It's watchable, but nowhere near as enjoyable as other devices.
So I'm intrigued with the miracast dongles but I don't want to spend a fortune on it. I was wondering if anyone has had any luck with them. Also hoping to not spend more than $40 on it. I'm running the Nexus 5 Experience which is CM11 and it seems to support it.
Any thoughts are greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
Chromecast dongle. $35. Allcast from Koush and a Chromecast dongle. I can show pictures and movies from my phone.

From what I understand is that Chromecast won't let me mirror my phone to the TV which is what I'm looking for. Correct me if I'm wrong.

Allcast allows you to do just that. Also, I think there's an app called mirror also by Koush that allows you to stream that onto an apple tv

Could you please explain how to mirror your android phone to the TV like a miracast dongle would. I purchased a chromecast and so far I am unsuccessful in mirroring whatever is on my phone to the TV. I looked up the Koush beta and it only works for the NEXUS 5...
You can't mirror at this point. But you can play videos and music from your device and stream them to your TV. Koush working on mirroring for all devices.
You can also use Allcast to stream to any dnla device like Roku, XBox PS4.

Does anyone have the apk download for Amazon prime. Thanks In advance!!!

I'm assuming you meant Amazon Prime Video? As of now there is no Android app for it aside from GTV app (which only works on select TVs). There's one for Kindle tablets and Fire Phone, but no other Android devices have access to it. In fact, you can rip APK off the Kindle Fire or Fire Phone and sideload it on any Android phone, but they won't work and force close on any device other than Kindle. As of now, your only option to watch Amazon Prime Video on Android is to use browser that supports Flash, such as Dolphin Browser.
Amazon recently did mention that they may come up with an app for other Android devices soon, but that hasn't happened yet, and I doubt it will any time soon, so I'd say browser is your best bet.
Okay, apparently it seems the app recently got released. Here's the link to it.

Amazon Instant Video should already be available on Roku. What model of Roku do you have? Depending on the model, your other option is to use screen mirroring, so long as you have supporting media streaming device.

It could be because its international variant. They're very picky about that kind of things. You could try an app called Market Helper. It's an app that helps your device disguise as some other device so you can download "incompatible" apps from Play Store. It requires root access, but if you're interested, try the link below.

If that doesn't work, well, I guess you could simply download the APK, and side load it. I did that on my Nexus 7, and it does work perfectly(it shows as incompatible on Play Store). Once you have the Amazon app, you can download Instant Video app from Amazon appstore right from Amazon app. They don't seem to check for compatibility on Instant Video app, so you should have no problem with that. It's kinda interesting as even though they say the tablets are "not supported" the app seems to adapt to tablet screen, changing UI element to fit the bigger screen. Anyways, below is the link to the APK I ripped off my phone. Enjoy

Thanks! Trying the Market Helper (and ROM Toolbox) first...
Also if you have botbrew, can't you technically install Flash w/ Firefox and watch? Never tried it since it seems overkill, but would it work in theory?
Good morning
I bought Shield TV today.
I linked this with TV and tried to see an educational app.
But my educational app will refuse HDMI connection to prevent capture.
To view the shield TV, I need to connect HDMI, but the application rejects it.
Is there a way to use the app?
Is there any trick that seems HDMI is not connected?
I have a custom ROM installed and I have the routing.

What app is it that you're trying to use? It's funny because HDMI is generally hard to capture to a video input.

Hmm hopefully one of the other members gets in here. I don't run a custom ROM. So does the app have a message that appears when you launch it?

Shield TV both basic and custom ROM do not work.
The error message is as follows.
"Please remove HDMI cable and try again."
Just another thought, try run it on your phone and cast to shield tv and record the HDMI output.
P.s. I can run it on my HTC 10 and cast to shield tv, and then use shield tv to capture the screen output
There is a xposed module called "skycast", which exactly is, what you are looking for. Search for it...
I havent rooted my shield and have no idea, if xposed is working on android tv. And there is still no xposed framework for Android 7.x.
