I have looked through the threads for an answer to this and can't seem to find one. Only one thread mentions someone using the Kindle app on the htc wildfire, but never mentions how he managed to get the app in the first place.
I use the app some on my iPod Touch, and like it for a few books I have purchased through Amazon, and would like to use the Kindle app on my phone.
However, it does not show up even in the patched Google Market App. Any ideas how I might get the app? Or if any have tried it and found it just doesn't work? I am presently using the new WildPuzzle v0.3 (Android 2.2.1). Thanks in advance.
I have Kindle for Android in the Marketplace. Just searched for kindle on WildPuzzle 2.2.1 v0.1 with the non patched market.

Thanks for the reply - problem solved.
Thanks. However, for some reason it is nowhere to be found in my Market app. Oh well, I found it hosted on Mediafire.com, and downloaded it from there. Works fine.

Hey, I appreciate the extra link location. That makes two places I can get it from. Never know when one will suddenly end up blocked here...

I just received a replacement phone for a defective device. I had better keyboard 8 on the other device. Google has suspended the developers. I have the application and key on my old device. I need some help with getting it on the new device. Both units are stock unrooted tmobile Lg G2x with 2.3.3 Gingerbread.
Can someone help me out?

Sorry, Can't help. But you have helped me to understand why I cant upgrade to an unlocked version of Better Keyboard.
Shame its the best I have found so far!
AndroZIP has a function to export installed APKs to SD or if you're familiar with ADB you can log in and get the files from /data/app/. That is, if you still have the phone... I'm a bit unclear on that from what you're saying in your original post.
Thanks Hans. I used "my backup" and saved app and key to SD card and then put SD into new device. It was very easy.

Thanks for that info. I took the Better Keyboard 8 info down from my Keyboards page because I thought it was discontinued. Had I known, I would have just relinked to Amazon and SlideMe. Now I need to find a recent apk for it to retake some screenshots again. It was my favorite keyboard for a long time.

so, your search records are 'owned' by b. gates (M$OFT) instead of the CIA (google)
I don't see what's so weird about it. different search engines turn up different results, even once you ignore the paid results...

funny. I was unaware of the difference.
wonder why my stick figure comics page comes up from bing sometimes?
low stats and I never submitted it anywhere but google and Yahoo.
If you can get over the fact that it comes from Microsoft, the Bing app for Android is actually a pretty good app.
Here's a review of it: http://www.androidcentral.com/bings-android-app-redesigned-brings-bit-metro-it
I use the maps piece of it as I find the traffic overlays are more accurate than Google maps traffic.
The issue from the other thread (which unfortunately escalated into a shouting match) is that the latest version of the Bing app has something going on whereby the market thinks it is not compatible with 2.3 roms (I've tried both IHO and asop) and you cannot download bing if you are running one of these roms. If, however, you download Bing using a 2.2 rom and then restore it to a 2.3 using Titanium or another backup program, the program runs fine.
I don't have many more details than this. If you want to help debug and solve this probem, please post! If you are not interested, please let us work on this without snide comments about "why would you want to use bing?"
And please, do not post in the IHO thread. All Bing discussion should remain here.
Only bing I care about are cherries and Crosby.

Yahoo uses Bing's search results. If you submitted to Yahoo, it's also on Bing.
While it doesn't show up in the google market it does in fact show up in the Amazon app store. This seems to be either an m$ issue or a market issue. Not sure why everybody is so passionate about this as there appear to be multiple ways to install it all legit like.
Unfortunately, the version in the amazon app store is very old (version 1.02.530.20110404 which is from April.) The latest version in regular Android market is 2.0.546.20010811, released August 15)

As pointed out amazons app store as amazing as it is. It is lacking in updated apps. Partly because the approval process is a pain in the ass and partly because some devs stop messing with amazon because of the trouble to get updated apps pushed.
Another thing amazon app store doesnt check your phone to see if you can install the app all the time. Only if the dev has specifically done so upon uploading. I can download apps that will not work on my optimus from amazon and android market has it hidden from me.
There's noway that someone could just post the apk?
So i'm running IHO id have to flash like bumblebee or something? download bing, backup and then reflash iho??
Or just get it from Amazon
Sent from my LG-VM670 using xda premium
Ok but the one on amazon is an old version.
To me, the issue is not so much having someone post a copy of the apk (which is really a band-aid fix.) Rather, I'l like to harness the collective brain of this community to determine a root cause and see if we can find a fix or patch.
For example, is the issue caused by the market seeing O/S 2.3 and thinking it's not compatible?
Or, is it caused by the carrier ID code? (So, for example, can we use Market Enabler https://market.android.com/details?id=ch.racic.android.marketenabler&hl=en to work around the problem?)
What's wrong with Bing? its not like anyone uses it >.>
so i tried market enabler and i still wasn't able to see the bing app on the market. But i think that market enabler does not work with the latest version of the market. is anyone here on a 2.2 device? try to download bing please!
Did I do something wrong upon installation or is anyone else having this problem?

Hmm, i just opened market, went to apps, and found youtube. Downloaded and installed just fine.
1. Perhaps you should install the gapps 20110828 again, and install with ROM Manager.
link is here: http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?title=Latest_Version/Google_Apps
2. when in doubt, you could always use the patch:

you need to flash a market fix. The market hides them because it thinks they don't work well on the screen size.
i lied, fix is actually linked on this forum as well

CM7 Alpha 2.1 is supposed to incorporate this patch, but I'm not sure if it works correctly for those people updating without wipes.

Try "Craigslist HD" app. Can't find it on touchpad and Its specifically for tablets. Also, is there a fix for not being able to see all the search results? Search gives 50 results sometimes but only shows the first 20 or so.
Both these problems occurred on alpha 1 and 2.1, and with the market fix flashed.

I tried to download NoLED for example and it forced closed. Is anyone else having this issue?
mine just closes when it asks me to add an account. I wonder if its because ive tried to install the market previosly....

I spoke too soon, it launches but force closes.
It is now force closing on me, on the plus side if I access android market from computer it now lists Nook Tablet as one of my devices.
I got it to run once, then it force closed when i tried to download something. Now it force closes on Start.
It also crashes for me when I try to install or update an app. I wonder if this has to do with the same storage issue Amazon Market had before I installed an SD card. Before installing an SD card, Amazon Market refused to install anything. It appears that Android Market might prefer to crash.
Op, can you change the title of the thread? I don't want to lead any one on.
Thanks for the effort tho, we shall keep trying.
Title changed =( Man I was so excited for a minute.
Looks like it quits on start because its still trying to download what ever app you last selected.
Does android generate an error report when apps force close? If so perhaos we could pull that and alter android market apk to work around issue. Just a thought.

Anyone have any luck with the Amazon Appstore?
I installed the most recent version and it just opens to a black screen with the Amazon Appstore log and search box at the top and the menu button at the bottom. Nothing responds.
Does anyone know where I can get a reliable previous version?
Edit--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I acted too soon. I had an old version from October 2012 that works.
Click here for the apk.
I have the same problem - and I had to use the same solution. Very strange problem and I wonder if there's more than two of us with it.
I've seen other posting the same in other forums. Hopefully Amazon finds a solution soon. I'd really like to get rid of the update message everytime I run the Appstore.

YES - Don't do it for now. Something is messed up with the newest version to where it won't let you log on or download any of your apps.
You can try the update. If you the app fails to start up you can just uninstall and re-install the old apk.I don't know if or when an update will come. Its hard to tell when you always have an update notification.
Appstore is not compatible with Sense 5. I have the same issue on my Droid DNA that's running Sense 5. The only workaround is using the old APK and hope for a fix from Amazon.
