I'm not sure about the .apk above, but following these directions worked for me. Posting from the silk browser on my touchpad now. Its pretty good, nothing all that special in my opinion, but here you go....

Yup the browser is working fine for me. Followed the instructions in the kindle fire port post.

I can hope to see this on the next version of Xron? Please
Yeah the browser is working here for me too. Can't say I like it though, but it works.
Any reasons as to why it wouldn't install on my Touchpad? It says application not installed. But it was fine with the first version. However it was giving FC as to eveyone else. Maybe it's signed incorrectly?
One of two reasons : Either its signed incorrectly or not signed at all or there is a previous version existing.
Worked here also after following the steps in the first post of that topic.
TBH though, I'm not impressed at all. Boat Browser still beats it for me on the TouchPad.
@ puneet_champ
But I don't get what can be wrong as others managed to install it on their Touchpads. As you found the solution for the FC maybe you can have a look as to why the application refuses to install? thanx!
Edit: Nevermind. Managed to install it. Cleared everything and did all over again but this time didn't change the permissions and it worked. Thanx for nice work just one thing that I noticed. Even if you choose to use desktop mode in the settings it still gives mobile websites e.g. there's no way to have Vimeo in Desktop mode
Make sure to follow the directions fully. Set permissions correctly and REBOOT

I for the life of me have not been able to get Zinio to work for me either. Press reader works fine. But I really want the magazine app since moving from stock. Would also like to know how you guys got it working.
EDIT: I think it depends on what versions you're using. I finally got it to work. Instead of installing "ReadingHub", I installed "ReadersHub" with the zinio from the link you posted. And it's working finally. Check it out. Tell me if it works for you or not.

It says "Warning: Network connection is unstable, do you want to retry or use the application in off-line mode?"
The network connection is fine.
- Retry just results in the above message again.

Better than last time, as the News app works now but the others are not lit up and clicking on them gives a "Service will be available soon".
I made sure to install all 3 apps, and even installed Zinio twice after seeing this error.
Any ideas?

The Magazines app is highlighted, I can launch it, I can log in, and then it FCs. Without even pressing Force Close, the app re-launches, logs in, and FCs, continuously over and over.

I was having that same issue. Only other suggestion I have is to install both versions of readers hub and zinio. They shouldn't overwrite each other. Then try launching zinio from Readers Hub. Not Reading Hub. See if that works.

I have both versions of Reading Hub installed (two entries in my app tray) and two version of Zinio.
Unfortunately, the first still force closes immediately on tap of Zinio and the other force closes after launching Zinio and then attempting to log in.
Paul,
I just installed the new version from G2x. In the G2x thread they have also extracted a settings APK which also needs to be installed. It is contained in the second page of their thread.
I installed both APKs and it finally worked perfectly. I am using the latest nightly of CM7, and having a magazine reader makes it a perfect tablet

Thanks a bunch for that. I really had no need for ReadersHub. I use the Nook app for my books. Happy to just have the Zinio app working! Finally I can get magazines without the stock reader... Now only if we can get a "Read To Me Books" app, then I can do away with stock completely!!!
Thanks again kind sir,

Sorry if this is already reported, but Netflix has upgraded the client and it is no longer available in the market. Is there a workatound?
Sent from my NookColor using Tapatalk
Netflix apparently removed the app because of the issues some people are having with it. Since its a free app, you can probably easily find the older .apk file by googling.
I just found it using the Galaxy tab and the htc buildprops.
The galaxy had video but chipmunks.
The htc worked, but I had no video until moving the app toSD.
I am running MN.
Good luck.

Here's the thread with the latest updated Netflix apk.

Just installed, chipmunk because of the accelerated video. So I'd suggest try editing your build.prop as suggested above to see if it helps.

I had netflix working on Phiremod 6.2 with the "hack".
I got the same message that you're reporting when I tried to upgrade to Phiremod 6.3, but I didn't do a clean install.
I did a complete wipe of the nook and started a fresh install of Phiremod 6.3. I then downloaded Netflix from the market and it worked again.
Idiot me. Once you mentioned datawipe it hit me and I went to manage applications, wiped data and voila, netflix works
Thank you for the nudge in the right direction.
I did have to do the build edit to rid myself of the chipmunks, but I just finished watching a movie before bed

Anyone have luck installing the latest out of Mountain View? Seems like the NT would be a great platform for it. When I try to load the apk it stops mid-installation with "App not installed."
Sent from my BNTV250 using Tapatalk
Works fine for me. I installed it on a CM7 HP Touchpad, and backed up the apk to install on the NT.
btw, my NT is rooted.
Edit: here's the apk if anyone wants to try it.

Strange, I'm rooted too, tried again with your apk and got the same result.
Kindle Fire people are having issue installing too, something about missing some google framework files. maybe their procedure could help:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1382925
Not working for me either.
Unrooted, been sideloading other google apps with minimal issue. Downloading from megaupload, the dowload bar pops up and i get the message "Waiting for data connection," but nothing. Megaupload has given me trouble before.
---------- Post added at 01:14 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:12 AM ----------
So it finally went through, but now it gives me a parse error.
Good find -- I followed the whole procedure and it worked.
My first impression, though, is that the app doesn't format text well on the NT compared to my phone. Medium text size is too big and the margins are huge; and small text size splits the text into two columns, which looks ridiculous and is difficult to read (only 3-5 words across a column). Hope google fixes that in the next release.

Works great on my nook tablet had to use an apk from my evo (because incompatible with your device b.s.). I use es explorer to tranfer apks to my lan network then download them on my nook. Works perfect syncs my google reader feeds automaticaly looks really nice.

Anyone know if it can be ported to CM9 Kang? I have tried several times to install the apk manually and even the flashable zip available on Task's page, but everytime I try to open it, it says "unfortunately, eBook has stopped." I also installed the same apk on my Galaxy Nexus with Stock ICS and it worked fine, except for when I tried to import books it gave me the same message and quit. I hope somebody can help me out with this, its the best ebook app I've ever used, and no other reader is satisfactory. Lol. I've included the ebook.zip below in case someone can tweak it and help me out. It's the flashable zip, the apk can be found by unzipping the file. Let me know if anybody has any ideas. Thanks guys

Some content like the Modern Family on their homepage does freeze after the adds using ICS+ browser.

That same video played in Maxthon for tabs plays but it is choppy. It doesn't freeze. "The Middle" was choppy in Max too. Didn't try in ICS+. I don't have time to test today.
Other content does play smooth. Not sure what the difference is between that Modern Family and others that play smooth. I dont use Hulu plus.
I'm not looking for support. I saw that others have posted comments on the youtube site about freezing. I just thought I would point it out in case others post about this problem.

Screen keeps blanking out- Hulu on Touchpad CM9
Hello Reverend,
First of all, I must say your videos are very detailed and easy for a non-techie like myself to understand! Thanks.
Last night, following your instructions, I successfully updated my touchpad to finally view Hulu (reference: [VIDEO] Hulu Fix for CM9 Android on the HP Touchpad)..herein lies the problem...
When I enlarge the screen, the video portion goes blank after about three seconds, but the audio remains on. Is there something I need to adjust? Please help. It's great to watch Hulu, but a small screen is not the best way. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
mark
Works...
Can confirm screen goes black for a second or so leaving the audio running so A/V becomes barely noticably off sync..
Good find though..
thanks OP.. uh Rev..

Thank you, Rev. It worked for me using root explorer and no PC.
HBO GO
I wish it did work with HBO GO but I get the same Message upon starting the AP non supported version of android. Hope someone can solve this. Netflix, Hulu, Crackle all work great. Just not HBO GO...

Well I get that too and I have AdFree installed. You just have to wait until the timer counts down. There is a little timer at the top of the video. It should say

Then
Ad 2 of 2 00:30
Wait until they are done and it should play. You wont see any ad.
I do notice that it sometimes gets stuck on 00:01. Just try again.
