Try temporarily disabling root? Just tossing what may be a useless idea, a more effective one, still not guaranteed mind you, would be to change your device on build.prop

Sorry I misread, you need a modified apk, I thought you were talking about the app

I haven't seen one in quite some time, its hex edited to remove what ever it is that tells the flash player you are using android, you might find it on modaco but it could be out of date
I got a modified flash APK from Captian. The phone won't let me attach it from the zda app, I attach it later tonight.

Did was it an install or did you have to move it to data/apps? If you moved it yourself, check permissions they should be rwx rxx rxx and restart the phone

If you install it the normal way there is no need copy it to your file directory or change permissions
Maybe its out of date or they changed something on their end

Did you try clearing data on flashplayer then uninstall flashplayer. And try installing the apk normally.
I originally had issues installing this on stock Rom, not sure why, I finally got it working by flashing stock with goodies, then just installing the apk normally.
I am using dolphin set to desktop mode

Hulu is free hulu plus is a pay service, the modified flashplayer apk, mirrors a pc flash version, so u can trick the hulu site unthinking ur sitting at a pc and it will allow u to stream free content, basically the last 2 episodes of any show
As some will have noticed the latest version of Gmail 4.2.1 & 4.1.2 doesn't exactly play nice with the Kindle Fire HD, if you have notifications on & you get a e-mail the whole top bar will disappear for a short while, so to prevent that from happening you have to turn off notifications on Gmail which isn't very productive.
Anyway I tried the version before those and found 4.0.5 works perfectly fine, notifications & all, sure you don't have some of the fancy new features of the latest build but it does work very well as a e-mail app, currently using it now no issues.

You'll need GoogleLoginService & GoogleServicesFramework for it to function properly, can be a bit buggy without root especially when trying to get syncing to work but I've used Gmail OK before rooting.
I'm guessing that I would need to root the Kindle to install those. (I'm really new with this, so sorry if this is a stupid question.)

No, Gmail & the other two GoogleLoginService & GoogleServicesFramework can be installed without root & work to a certain degree, it's only the syncing that can be problematic as for it to work flawlessly it needs the AccountAndSyncSettings.apk to be in system/app folder which does require root but if you just wanna check your e-mail occasionally you can install the 3 apks in bold listed above.
You can get a working Gmail APK from here - http://www.androiddrawer.com/1412/download-gmail-4-0-5-app-apk/
Get the other two APKs from here (Link at the bottom of 1st post) & install those first - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2069329

As I was doing this though, I got messages popping up that were saying (insert app name here) has stopped. Gmail started to launch, but then it quit with a Gamit has stopped. Any ideas?

It's a while since I had them installed whilst unrooted but they did work, I had other Google apps as well such as YouTube & Drive, Gmail isn't the most stable unrooted, like I said it has trouble with sync, anyway try installing the just the 2 Services APKs, reboot then install Gmail & see what happens then if you want.
The same thing happened like before I installed the 2 Google framework packages. Doesn't even launch.

If you uninstall/delete the 2 service APKs, none of the Google apps will function.
To remove Google accounts, clear the data for Gmail & the 2 service APKs in Kindle settings.
Kindle Settings > Applications > Installed Applications:
Google Account Manager (Think this is the only one that needs clearing but you can try the other 2, no harm)
Google Service Framework
Gmail
It can only work with root, because it installs into the kindlefire/apps folder and you must move it manually into system/app folder. That can only do with root.

It can still work to a certain extent without root, to get the full capability & stability, then yes it needs root.

I just tried to clear the data from both. It says that it cleared, but when I go into gmail or and other Google app, the account is still listed as available to sign in to and gmail is still showing the account I signed in to and receiving mail. I uninstalled and reinstalled gmail but it still showed up without having to be configured.

Is Gmail better than the stock email app?
In some ways it is definitely a lot better, but it's also good if you want more of a regular Android experience. (Or you just have a Gmail account you want to access easily.)

Sorry for the late response. I'm on 7.2.3. But for some reason it works fine. I'm thinking I have an older framework? That might be why?

I would like to see how real racing 3 performs on the galaxy player, but haven't had any luck.
So, it shows up incompatible in the play store for me, but I managed to find the apk elsewhere. When I open it, however, it just exits back to the homescreen immediately.
Anyone else experiencing this, or got past it? I'll try messing with my build.prop, to see if I can get it working.

It plays quite well on the Galaxy Player 5.0, but the graphics are not what you would see on something like the Note II, (Due to both of our devices being single cored) but in general the game should run well on your Player 4.2. Its a great game and is a great time killer.

If you are rooted, I found a way around it. Install lucky patcher (google search it) then once in the app, you should find the play store app. Click on it and it should open a menu. click on patches and find the patch that says no restriction. Then once patched, all apps should come up on the play store.

Hi, I'm not the OP but thanks for trying to help. Unfortunately it's not The Weather Channel he/she was asking for but The Weather Network which is based in Canada. Unfortunately they've opted to restrict the tablet version to 8'' and up devices excluding the N7 (despite more than a few complaints on the Play Store).
If by chance you'd be willing to upload TWN, I'd definitely appreciate it. I know the iOS version is available in the US iTunes store so I'm guessing you'd have access?

I am sad to say that the app force closes on Nexus 7. I don't understand why they can't make this compateable on a 7 inch screen. The Weather Network treats the N7 like a phone.... I think I would look pretty stupid holding that thing to my ear.
I went back to an iPad Mini (Retina). As much as I love Android on phones, it's still not the same/better experience on tablets.

I was able to get it to work using "exposed framework" and "app setting" to set the display as higher resolution. It tricks the tablet version into thinking your tablet is a tablet (lol) but the problem is it still didn't look right. There was many glitches. I think the weather network was designed for 10 tablets :'(

wow thanks for the tip, i will try "xposed app setting" as i already have this installed but never thought of using it for TWN. My guess is that i will encounter the same problems as you did so ill probably end up giving up on TWN as well. I installed the new app of Weather Channel and Accuweather this morning. I am still testing both, they both look like very good weather apps. I have used 1weather before but uninstalled it cant remember why. Its a shame that TWN doesnt support all tablets.... i hope android become more strict with uploaded apps to the playstore, seems like the tablet world isnt supported by android devs all that much, at least not like apple, its so hard to find good tablet apps on playstore =(

Could you give me some help? I have a Galaxy Tab3 8.0, which is very similar to the note 8. But I could not get the TWN to launch in tablet mode, using xposed app setting. I followed your instructions - put 162 dpi and checked xlarge res everything else is untouched. It just made everything smaller but still in phone mode.
Perhaps TWN updated their app so the hack doesn't work anymore.
Did you modify anything else, like the tablet's overall DPI setting in build.prop?
Did you download the app from Play store, or side loaded it from another source?

It is possible to make the HDX more "Android-like" without rooting it. Because root seems distant I've spent some time working on and have shared on my blog how to pull it off:

If you want the real YouTube app and you have another android device like a phone or something just use esfile explorer add a drop box account and copy the YouTube apk out of your data/app folder, then install esfile explorer on your kindle add drop box go to were you saved the apk and install it, like cevyn says you can actually get pretty far without root
