I was looking to purchase this:
https://market.android.com/details?...sMSwxLDEsImNvbS5xby5hbmRyb2lkLnRhYmxldC5hbSJd
But then I read it's a tablet version, is there anyway to get it to run on our phoness? it would be a nice alternative for webtop on fullscreen, although it would be awful for the smallscreen but a good alternative to google docs when there's no internet on the webtop.
No guarantees, but you might be able to get it to work if you install a CM9 rom and apply the tablet UI hack.
HD (for tablets) works on my Atrix. Had paid for it for the week I had a transformer prime. Used that apk on my Atrix and it works. It's a bit crowded, but doesn't look bad in landscape. I'm on Joker's CM9 (no mods), so that's all I can testify for. Good luck.
Anyone had any luck with it on a motoblur gingerbread rom?
I currently use my phone for webtop so I haven't moved to CM9

Attached is the installable package for XBMC that scales the remote and works perfect. Based off the current build. All credit goes to WickedStix all I did was ask for it
Doesn't seem to work with Nook Froyo
Install:
You'll need to uninstall the Official XMBC Remote before installing this as it's signed with a different key.
heard something about this the other day. What exactly can this app do? I read the info in the market but it did not seem to really touch on its full functionality
This is sweet, I've been using it for my htpc setup flawlessly since i rooted my NC. People are always really impressed by it.
Basically (as the name would imply) it's a remote control for XBMC, you can also browse you libraries and launch episodes/music/movies directly from the device.
Thank you, thank you, thank you! This has been annoying me endlessly. XBMC remote is so perfect except for the remote portion, so it's great to see it fully scaled.
Excellent, thank you!!!!!!1! =)
This was bugging me as well.
Awesome!!!
That's fantastic. Thanks.
For Nookie 0.59
I installed this apk, uninstalled, then reinstalled off the market (also running compatibility mode from spare parts) and I get full scale.
Thank you so much! I ended up installing XBMC on my work computer just so I could play around with it. I officially have not done anything productive this afternoon.
Has anyone gotten Newsr to work on the NC. It seems to be one Android app most like Zite for the Ipad that I miss (as I can't get the IPad away from my 4-year-old). Or is there an Android app like Zite (not a big fan of pulse).
Thanks.
"Newsr is optimized for the Honeycomb experience on Xoom and is only available on Android tablets running Honeycomb".
Ya, I saw that, but was just hoping that as with netflix that someone was working some magic.
Thanks.
Doesn't work like that. If it's meant for Honeycomb, and that is all it says, there are reasons...like it actually uses elements only found in 3.0+.
I am happy with my Nook Tablet with HD Netflix HD Hulu Plus, BUT I got my eye on the Prime. Will the Prime be able to have these 2 apps working without jumping through hoops??

Netflix will run fine as it will support 3.2 and 4.0.1+ for sure. Hulu Plus? Most likely.
That's totally up to Netflix and Hulu. I think that with we might be able to use them out of hte box with HC, but the big question is if they would work on ICS. Given their track record of making slooow changes, I'd wager we might have to wait for ICS versions to work.
..hey from where did you got this application for the tablet ??
because i have installed this newer android ICS update and i am not able to install those applications however !
Hey everyone,
I just got an atrix and I'm curious about the whole web top thing. Just a few quick questions, if someone has the time.
1. does web top only work with stock based Roms? I'm running th3bill's aokp milestone 6. If no, will the official ice release open 4.x roms?
2. Do the modified webtop packages, ie ubuntutop, improve the experience in terms of speed and versatility?
3. Lap dock or media dock?
4. Do any of you actually find yourselves using t regularly?
I currently have my Mac mini hooked up to my TV for movie watching, music listening, and web browsing. I'm looking to substitute it with probably the media dock.
Thanks everyone!
Thanks guys

Hi there and welcome aboard!
To answer your questions:
1) Yep. Webtop only works with stock based roms, aka Blur roms. Yes, when official ICS comes out, it will have 4.0 weptop support.
2) Indeed, they improve the experience. I was using Ubuntop and it was pretty nice.
3) I have a lapdock. I think is better than the media dock. If you want to use the media stuff, you just need to connect the phone via HDMI to the TV, and use the media interface to use your stuff.
4) Actually, right now im not using it much, mostly because i hate being in GB, and im using JB roms for now. Never the less, i still use it morriring my phone screen to the lapdock. It works pretty nice too.
Hmm...my guess is that your Mac Mini is going to work better than your phone phone. You can install an app to control your Mac mini from your phone tough. Mobile Mouse Pro is the name of it.

I am currently using a wireless (usb) and mouse (bt) wih the mac mini. I was hoping I could get a usb wireless kb and mouse for the media dock and just plug in my phone and keep doing what I'm doing now.
Anyway, thanks a bunch for the info. I found out the media dock is like $25 on Amazon and the lapdock is selling for like $60 on some website! I should just get both haha

Hello, I hope this is the right place for these questions. I've been surprised when I first saw this tablet. The only thing that isn't convincing me is the Amazon OS. Today it looks like a root exploit has been found ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2542456 ) Now my questions are:
Is it possible to install the Google play store?
With Silk can I normally download files from browser and read them? (like pdfs or winrar archives)
Can I transfer files from the computer with the usb cable and read them from the kindle, like films or apks? (maybe a stupid question because it is android based OS, but it's the first time I'm buying an amazon tablet so better ask before..) Thanks guys
I'm having the exact same thoughts as well. About to make a tablet buying decision between the Sony Z and this. The Amazon software is the only reason I would not go with it instead

Let's see what people, who already bought it, thinks about it
WIth root, installing the Play store is possible and will work fine if you have all the right framework files installed. This has been confirmed in the general and android development sections.
Silk will allow you to download files just fine.
You can access the Kindle just like any other Android device when plugged in via USB. That is to say, it's drag and drop file management. I have sideloaded MX Player for video playback. It's my favorite player and I've successfully watched MKV, avi, mpg, m4v files with audio encoded in DTS and Dolby 5.1. DTS decoding requires a custom codec that's available on XDA.
PDF's work just fine. I'm using EZPDF and Moon Reader+, but you can take your pick. I don't think they can be view from inside the browser if that's what you're asking. I have Chrome sideloaded and use it as my primary browser.
The Kindle has a setting to allow third party apps to be installed just like any other Android device so APK's can be installed easily.
All in all, the HDX is almost perfect. If root access will fix the customization issues (wallpapers and widgets) along with Play Store access this will be the best device on the market.
It has the best combination of screen size, screen resolution, thickness, weight, battery life, and power. Snapdragon 800 is as good as it gets for now and really make this device fly. The resolution and color production is as good as it gets confirmed by Displaymate testing and from personal experience.
If Amazon had allowed Play Store access out of the box, it would the unquestioned best tablet on the market. Thanks to XDA, we will have it shortly.
EDIT: I have the HDX 8.9

I will buy it tomorrow you convinced me I will keep you updated as soon as it arrives! You got the 16 gb version?
No. I got the 64gb version with no ads. I need all the memory I can get.

Do you know if it supports OTG? I would enjoy connecting a flash drive with a microusb-usb adapter..
Well, I just took the plunge and bought a 32gb HDX 8.9
I have zero desire to use any of Amazon's services, but the hardware on this is so perfect for what I am looking for.
I do hope that the discovered root method will lead to recovery, and custom roms, but I am not expecting that to happen either.
After looking at what can be done with apps and everything, I can probably get by on stock. If not, there is always the 30 day return window!

Personally I don't have a desire for custom roms on this device. It is stable with great battery life. Root gets me enough of the features and customization I want. Plus I get to keep the Amazon services which would most likely break with custom roms. But I'll be excited to see if Cyanogen or Paranoid Android supports this device.

As far as I know, In Canada we are limited by what Amazon can offer to us. We certainly don't get the full experience.
What specific features does root allow?
