Hello,
I would like to buy a subscription to t3 magazine, but the free reader app is marked 'incompatible':
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.woodwing.t3
Can someone upload the apk somewhere so I can try it?
It should be okay to ask for apks of free apps right?
- Frank
I think you should post that question on this forum's tablet section since it appears to be only compatible with:
Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1
Motorola Xoom 1
Motorola Xoom 2
Asus EeePad Transformer Prime 10.1
Asus EeePad Slider
Acer Inspire 10.1
Or you can also try to flash any Paranoid Android rom and set Google Play to tablet mode, it might (I say might) allow you to install it.

I don't think that will work.
As far as I know, google play goes by device, and doesn't care what rom you are running on it. (outside of perhaps version number).
I don't see why it wouldn't run on the galaxy note - whether stuff is too small to read, and buttons easy enough to push is another story.
I could see pages not being 'zoomable' since it's assumed you are on a 10 inch tablet.

Well that's why I said it might work. Though I still think I've had access to different apps on the market while running Paranoid Android rom..
Hello all,
I was thinking of putting Kindle Fire HD's in my store for people to use. I already use iPads and have them Jailbroken to lock anyone down from changing/installing/deleting anything.
I use these enclosures, for the iPads, on the tables. And they make an enclosure for the original Kindle Fire, but I would be using the Kindle Fire HD. The iPad's are too expensive.
Now what can I do to keep users from accessing the settings and installing/deleting anything? Also no in-app purchases. Are there any mods or apps that can do this? I know the iOS can.
You can add a user and limit what they can get to.

You could use this app:

Not sure of it works on the stock os or not since I'm running a standard kf2 on CyanogenMod.
Honestly not even sure of this is exactly what you are looking for.
Also- you can turn off in app purchases on cyanogenmod (aosp).. Again, not sure if it works on stock.
Not sure how savvy you are w android devices so unable to tell you if YOU can do it.
Edit: in a business environment you MIGHT be better off w the nexus 7

Ok. Just followed your link for the cases. I think the app you would want is this:

Hey XDA community,
I'm fairly new here and I recently got a Nexus 7 2013.
I'm going to school right now for application development and one thing I like to do is have a text editor
(Webmaster's HTML editor) and my textbook (kindle app) both open side by side. I only know how to do this
on my gs3 and I sort of got a Nexus 7 so I could do stuff like this with a bigger screen. What I'm wondering is if
there's anyway I can get the side by side apps with my Nexus 7 2013 (wifi model) or is this a Samsung/Touchwiz specific feature?
I'm currently rooted, running a stock rom with ElementalX kernel. Thanks in advance, Bear
I have also tried searching the forums as well as Google but no luck.

It's a TW feature, not available on stock aosp if I am not wrong.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
Not available on stock AOSP right now. BUT Rockchip (chip maker of those Android sticks) DOES have this on stock Android. I'm not sure why anyone doesn't port it over to other devices or what the hold up is. If it was easy, I'm sure we'd have it by now.
The LG G2 also has this functionality... so it isn't just limited to TW.
So keep your fingers crossed. Maybe once the Nexus 5 comes out, they can backport the SbyS App support to AOSP.
I too am very interested in this.....I want multi window or something of that nature on both my N7 models but its sucks I can only use it with my S3 and S4 not fair and honestly android should have gotten this by now but hey....good things come to those who wait right.
Like the others have said, this isn't possible on the N7 right now, however until it happens, there are many "floating" apps available on the play store for text editors and web browsers if you're desperate.
I just got the 8.9 and I am wondering if I should bother to install CM or just keep it stock and install the play store? What advantages / disadvantages would I have for both? Also if I am rooted can I still use Amazon services if I stay on stock? I really wanna watch prime movies / rent from the kindle library. I know I will lose this if I go on CM

If you root, you will lose no functions of the stock KFHD. Rooting just gives you access to the roots of the system allowing you to add/remove what you please. Adding Google Play (Gapps) just adds those APK's to the system so you can use them. Again, this effects nothing as far as the stock KFHD goes.
Installing any custom ROM will remove the ability to watch prime movies, loose the lending library and any audio books that are not backed up to an audible account.
This was no big to me because I can watch the prime movies on the ROKU, I don't borrow books and had my audible books backed up. A custom ROM is so much better and faster. Sky's the limit for customizing. That choice is yours.
Because I use some of the stock functionality, I went with rooting.
Then installed Go Launcher and set it up as my default launcher.
Installed LMT Launcher to replace the default softkeys.
Changed a config file to remove the softkey bar
Installed Thumbkeyboard from the Google Play (purchased for a previous device), a much better keyboard than stock.
All this took quite of bit of searching around for different tweaks, but I have an experience thats closer to Android, while retaining access to
the Kindle Carousel as an app, so I can access Prime and the lending library.
My point is, if you can define how you're going to use your Kindle, you have a lot of options.

i thought Kinology was only for the 7 inch tablet? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2373292&highlight=kinology
Opps, good catch. This was an 8.9 question. Yes, KFHD7 only.

Noob Alert!
I've just bought a Kindle Fire HD 8.9" 4G on eBay.
Is there a noob's guide to installing non-Amazon ROMs? I just want it to be a standard Android tablet. I've looked through dozens of posts, but I seem to be going round in ever-decreasing circles and will soon disappear up my own USB port

Do you know how many updates I got from you posting all over the forum this same question? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2391776
It's still a work in progress.

Apologies, still trying to find my way around. If that is the only ROM for the HD 8.9" LTE then I guess I'll have to wait until there is progress.
Yes, that's what there is for the 8.9 lte. I'm sure there will be more updates.

Pure android Kindle
May I suggest you check out a company called N2Aos. They have developed a
version of CyanogenMod 10.1 especially for the Kindle. They will even perform the upgrade for you remotely. The cost is 20 dollars US. I had this done about a month ago and I now have a fully functioning, pure android tablet. I, sir, am a very happy camper.
And no, this is not a paid endorsement!
dond624
He is looking for the 8.9lte which they can't have because Hashcode is still developing it. For free people can do it themselves. Damn paying someone else.

I've been considering them for some time, it looks like an easy way to get started. My KHD arrived yesterday, and has a scratch on the base. I complained, and the seller has agreed to a £20 refund, so I've now got some spare cash ...

I decided to give it a go, rather than keep asking questions here. Very pleased, but no GPS of course.

I believe N2AOS works on LTE models as well. I don‘t know what Hashcode has to do with it. As a senior member, you must remember that many of us may not be as experienced or as talented as you are. Or, as in my case, although I‘ve been involved with computers for over 50 years, my brain no longer functions as well as it once did. For example, I've been working on this message for almost 30 minutes. Old age kills. Have a nice day.

Hascode matters because his code is the original and only kernel for the Kindle Fire HD series tablet because there was only one exploit for the Kindle Fire HD models. All other ROM's use his kernel as a starting point and fork from it. Hashcode is still trying to get the 8.9lte ROM done right and has not got to the point to where everything works proper. If he has not, it's probable N2AOS can not be there yet either. That is why my statement about the 8.9lte.
I have an old gen 1 otter that when I learned how to upgrade the OS there was a buildrop file that "tells" Google / Amazon what tablet it is. THAT file says Nexus 7 (afaik it is the 2012 model).
Can someone make a flashable file like that for the 8.9 jems ??
Am I missing a very basic thing, or does no one want / care about this??
As my jem can no longer play an Amazon game called castle clash due to this 8.9 I.D., I'd like to avoid / delay this from happening again in the future.
?? Can I just copy the one I have for my otter and modify it, or is it way different?
The COMMON tablet I found that is "close" to the jem is the Nexus 10.
I don't mind making it myself, I just need info. I just thought it would be a good idea for all jem hackers to have.......
Oh, I learned this stuff HERE at x-da. The otter is running CyanogenMod ASOP 4.2.2 and I still use it to this day.
