Ok so I bought ForumRunner from the Google Play store and now I want to put it on my Kindle Fire but I don't think I should have to pay for it again from the Amazon App Store. Does anyone know how I can find the apk on my Evo LTE without being rooted?

 

As far as I know there is no restriction on using an app that you've paid for on more than one device. Am I correct in that assumption?

I take it you are not interested in rooting the KF and putting ICS on it?

 

I believe that if you use an app backup tool (like app backup and restore), it will save an apk of every program you designate that is not protected on your SD card.

 

As far as the legality... I don't know.

Rooting my Kindle doesn't offer me any benefits based on my usage of it. I would rather not deal with any possible stability issues that may come from rooting and putting ICS on it.

 

I really don't have an absolute need to have Forum Runner on the Fire but I just figured it would be a nice alternative. Sometimes I don't feel like going to the laptop and seeing things on a bigger screen is helpful on occasion.

Perfectly understandable. I haven't kept up on the status of the kernal, but they were having issues with battery drain when it was "off" and charging issues. I will investigate further when I have time, if nobody else chimes in with a better solution.

 

Can you install an apk from outside the amazon store on an unmodified kindle?

I thought you could sideload an app if you download the apk to the kindle but I have never actually tried it.

Rooting and putting a stock operating system with a regular launcher doesn't cause any issues. The build prop is also changed to another tablet to make all the apps in the google store show up.

 

Even if you do sideload it the google store is not on your tablet so you could have licensing issues.

 

So much easier to slap a rooted stock os on there and call it day and it becomes a real tablet instead of the locked down amazon garbage.

I understand why others would root it and that's cool. I have no need or desire to use my Kindle as a "real tablet" at this time. It serves me very well exactly like it is.

 

You can sideload apps on the Kindle Fire. I sideloaded Dropbox and some other apps.

 

You can use ES File Manager or Astro to extract the apk.

 

I tried searching my Evo for the apk for ForumRunner using Astro but I couldn't find it. Maybe I wasn't looking in the right spot. The app is installed on the SD card so I figured the folder with the apk would be there but I can't find it.

My feelings exactly. I thought about rooting but the Fire does what want to do with it now so why bother.

 

I know you have already used App Backup and Restore but

 

Using ES File Manager

"Manager" >> "App Manager" >> Long press on app >> "backup" >> Extracted .apk files will be placed in "backups"

 

Using ASTRO

"Application Backup" >> choose apps to backup and click on "backup" >> Extracted .apk files will be placed in "backups"

 

You can change the directory for both in the settings.

      FCC Auctions

      By dkyeager · Posted

      https://www.fiercewireless.com/wireless/t-mobile-gets-little-closer-accessing-its-25-ghz-spectrum-auction-108 Senator Kennedy's bill to grant the FCC temporary auction authority to finish processing the Auction 108 licenses it has sold to their proper licensees. This would greatly benefit T-Mobile.  This delayed process took what would have been a strategic advantage for T-Mobile (1 one year plus head start)  and turned into catch-up, since AT&T and Verizon haven been busy installing their c-band n77 in rural areas.

      I configured -44/-3 scenarios on an Edge 2022 to be an invalid connection, so yes, it would show no service.. I didn't realize it was a frequent issue though. How certain are you about the other values? Perhaps they are just unchanged from the previous array of signal information that was reported? If that is the case, I can try to have the app discard -44/-3 datapoints and leave the screen unchanged. I worry about the slippery slope of having it display as -140, because that leads users to believe there is a -140 signal present, when in reality we don't know what the actual reading is.   Haha me and you both wish this!!!

      Following up, I've gone into the office in person today and took my Edge with me. It looks like it now shows "No service" instead of the -44/-3 value.  I saw a lot of "no service" because it apparently does it a lot.  I'll check again on the train ride home later. Assuming I'm correct, is it possible to have some kind of middle ground on this?  I think it was showing other legitimate values, like the TA, even when it was showing -44/-3.  I'd prefer it show the data it has but at -140 dBm in those cases.  I recognize this could be a pain to implement, and if it is, then no worries, mostly curious. EDIT:  But now I'm sitting here thinking "what if the PCI is bad and I don't know it?"  But that can just as easily be the case on other phones that aren't caught.  I do regularly see bad PCI entries on my other devices, so maybe this isn't the best option.  Bleh, I wish this stuff just worked properly! - Trip
