If anyone has the tomb raider map app could you please send it to me. It's not available on Amazon market and can't find it anywhere on Google. My kindle isn't rooted so I can't get it from the play store. Thanks

You are asking for a paid app. The rules prohibit the distribution of paid apps on xda.
Sorry.

You could pm it to me. I would have no problem paying the lousy 2 bucks but Amazon doesn't have the app and they have the kindle's on lockdown so I can't get it from the play store. Not like I'm trying to steal just have no other choice. Not my fault

Ok seriously guys I found a place that said it would let me download the app after a short survey.the survey was was like 45 minutes and then they didn't give me the app. Someone help me out here. Please. I have gta3 and final fantasy 3 if you help me out I'll give them to you

Why don't you just root your kindle so you can get it legitly from Google play store?

Well rooting it very very rarely hard brick's it, its rare that something like that would occur, soft bricking has happened on occasion, but if u soft brick it it is always fixable. All you would do is reflash the os. I find it funny in a sense you don't trust Google, I was like that at first when android first came out because I heard the reports of them going through peoples accounts emails, then when I realized that android was Linux based I said eh sure I guess I should trust it more. And I thought u already owned the app or were planning on paying for it if you could, if your not going to attempt paying for it then I can't help, I don't feel like getting banned for supporting piracy.

well see that's just it. I would love to pay for it but Amazon just doesn't have it. Paying 2 bucks for it would save me all this trouble. Also I'm not real tech savvy when it comes to android so I'm really not comfortable rooting. I do trust Linux based android I just don't trust Google as a company I hear they are sloppy with your credentials. And it's just not worth the possible identity theft for the one app I want that Amazon doesn't carry. Also I have tried to buy from play store through blue stacks but Google won't take a prepaid visa which is all I'm willing to use with Google. So I have defiantly attempted to pay for the app. Also I have been trying to find someone I know who uses play store so I could just give them 2 dollars to download it for me but everyone I know has iPhone so that's no help. If someone is willing to work something out I would be open to it

Please learn some manners, your incessant begging won't get you anything; here and in life. Adding "you suck" to your signature will NOT earn you anything.
Now, about your problem.
If you are on these forums, you should know how to search them. There ways to root the kindle fire hd. The steps are laid out all for you to follow. Any chance of you bricking your device is YOU. Any bricks are due to USER ERROR. Rooting isn't hard kid, read a bit; you'll figure it out.
You had a problem. I gave you a solution.
I didn't mean to get off as rude or harsh, but your attitude is really unnecessary.
Quit complaining please

agree this is not the place for search for warez, much less for bad attitude towards the community.
Another legit solution to his problem is if he has and android smartphone, its to buy the app in the phone, then extract the apk and transfer it to the kindle via usb.

Hey everyone,
I'm working as a CampusRep for ASUS Computers at Cornell University and was hoping you could all help me out.
ASUS Holiday Contest
You can enter to win TWO Transformer Primes
Here is the link http://www.facebook.com/AsusCornell?sk=app_250581868336547. The winner will win TWO Transformer Primes and TWO Keyboard Docks. All you have to do is like the Facebook page and fill out the contest entry form.
As an added bonus (for me) If you get my page to 1000 likes before the other competing pages, I get a Transformer Prime too!
I'll need your help and reshares so that we can win.
PLUS if I get those 1000 likes I'll also give away my Original Asus Transformer w/ Keyboard Dock and Sleeve!
THAT'S THREE TRANSFORMERS!

There are not hundreds of Campus Reps. Maybe 30 or so and maybe some others don't post here on XDA. I thought it would be a good way to get some more followers and give everyone eligible to enter to win a few prizes.
Wish it was for Google+ instead of Facebook. I can't bring myself to sign into that horrible site, even to enter a contest. Good luck though.
Registered to win. Thanks for the opportunity!
PS.
You probably should have used Google+ for this giveaway, considering its an Android device it would have made some sense.

Trust me, if it was up to me I would have made it on Google+. Thing is, ASUS made our Facebook pages and made the contest online via Facebook.
Thanks for the help though and the suggestion.
Seeing a great increase in the number of "likes" almost to the point where I'm thinking of adding another prize. I have a BNIB Kindle Fire that I'm thinking of throwing in for an XDA member if my page gets to 1000 likes first.
I need everyone's help though.
1.) How will I know if the person that "liked" the page is Ann XDA member?
2.) How will the winner be chosen?
Feedback its important.

No there is an entry form to enter to win the Two Transformer Primes and if my page gets 1000 likes first then I'll give away my original Transformer, Dock, and Sleeve to one winner and then a BNIB Kindle Fire to only an XDA member. XDA members can win both Transformer and Kindle Fire
Here is what i wrote on the other thread in the TF Prime section.
GarJones27 said:
Well I was thinking that there would be two different winners. One winner (Original Transformer) out of all the "likes" on my page and then the other winner (Kindle Fire) would be out of the "likes" from XDA members. Additionally, XDA members will still be eligible gor the Original Transformer.
As for the second question it could be a random generator for the Transformer prize and maybe the same for the Kindle Fire. Or maybe choose from those people who post on this thread (and the one in the General section of the original Transformer) as another member mentioned.
So keep the "likes" coming and please share and repost so others can see. Remember, the extra prizes from me (i.e. Original Transformer and Kindle Fire will only be given away if my page reached 1000 likes first. The two Transformer Primes are randomly chosen regardless of likes though, just fill the entry form.
Thanks again for helping me out.

Not too far into it yet but so far its one of the best I've played on android device. The controls are good and graphics are nice too. When I bought it it was $3--TOTALLY worth it.

Yeah I get the same thing but still its an awesome game.
Has anyone been able to pair with a Wiimote? I don't see any options for it but the description says some Bluetooth wireless pads supported.
I emailed Google and rockstar about it being removed from market with this phone. **** them I flipped out, bad, really bad. I'm sick of just being one of the lucky ones that bought the game early. I purposely checked my phone every hr in the middle of the night when it got released. Only because when Gta 3 came out I had the eVo 3d than and if I didn't get Gta 3 within the first 12 hrs of it coming out I wouldn't have been able to get it at all unless I did a Lil search and downloaded a pirated copy. Now I have no problem downloading what I want when I want. Don't care about Warez, don't ****in care at all. I don't do it on xda nor will I ever. But I have no problem downloading something that I can't purchase cause I'm simply denied. Snes ROms, and playstation and all that, I don't consider that stealing at all cause the roms are not available for download for use in emulators. If they were I would buy them to support the devs, like I am more than happy to support rockstar. But if Google or Sony or rockstar or any other digital/electronic company try to **** me like this, I'll just **** you right back.
Well anyways sorry for the rant but the point is I let both companies know this is ridiculous. The game runs flawlessly on this phone with the graphics maxed out, no reason to deny us. I wont send U my apk, so don't ask, but just Google it. **** them, they are practically asking you to steal it but not making it available for no reason. I paid for my ****, so when their is an update for Max Payne and I can't update for this same reason, I'll be doing be doing same thing and googling it.

I downloaded max payne and i hate the game the graphics are horrible i suggest if you like that style of game download gamelot 9mm ,it's almost the same concept but with better controls and graphics plus the story ain't that bad either.

Lol, I know all about these phones and I live on xda basically. And yeah ya do have to be tech savvy to do all this. It's actually a lot of work to keep up with how fast things move on xdaand with these phones. I have no problem changing the build prop, but expecting normal people to is ridiculous. Trust me my cousin isn't stupid, but he also isn't a dork. Normal people barely know their way around a file explorer. The majority of the public still don't even understand how to get music on their phone. I know I know, I too think it is retardedly easy to copy n paste music but look at all the stupid questions noobs ask on xda. Pretty much every stupid question I see on here I restrain myself from typing please learn how to ****in search n read.
And don't come at me like I'm one of these tarts, I'm just sticking up for some of the less tech savvy. I wasn't flipping out on anyone here. I let the appropriate parties aware that it is a joke to keep blocking devices after people have paid their own money for said app and that it runs perfectly fine.
And this game runs great, especially with a ps3 controller.

Galaxy S WiFi/Player 5.0
OK guys and gurls here it goes
Basically I have enjoyed my time with this community and have learnt a hell of a lot to do with ROM development and have therefore used this knowledge to create my own ROM for the Galaxy s WiFi 5.0, ICS-Crumble which I am humble has been downloaded alot of times and has received great support so a HUGE thanks there. It has also allowed me to port ROMs like Hydr0g3n and others.
There comes a time when we move on lol and unfortunately that time has come. Basically I don't really want to go into great detail on why ive sold the device but im heading to University in Sep and I have to pay £400 deposit now and then £9000 a year myself so i really need the money lol
So yea thats me saying im stopping development on my ROMs but im not leaving XDA completely (im still active on the Galaxy s2) . So thanks guys and hopefully i have contributed to this great device.
Peace out

I've been reading through the specs for the Nexus 7 and the SGP 5.0 has slightly better specs in some areas.
The Nexus 7 only has b/g/n wifi but SGP has a/g/b/n so better wifi connectivity (faster, less interference on SGP)
SGP has a rear camera although it doesn't work on any ICS roms
The SGP has physical buttons (I don't like on-screen buttons so much)
The SGP has a micro-SD card slot
The SGP comes with an unlocked bootloader (Nexus bootloaders are easy to unlock with a fastboot command but it wipes data and can prevent ota updates)
However, the Nexus 7 is still an amazing device and I'm sorry for the slightly off topic post
No dude, don't stop yourself from getting a nexus 7 because of us! Face it; galaxy player hardware is 3 generations old, and with amazing devices like the nexus 7 coming out, the life of it is over. I don't think many people will choose a single core gingerbread device over a quad core jb device, so the galaxy player is finished, mostly. It was an epic device, and if Samsung had marketed it right, could have been a huge hit. To late, so time to move on. Even if I do get a nexus 7, I will probably keep up on my galaxy player, for sentimental purposes, lol!

Big lost for our community
I must buy another device :/
I'm seriously thinking about moving from the Tablet S to the Nexus 7. The biggest factor influencing me is the ability to keep my software more up-to-date, both through being in the Nexus family and through a more active development community. Android is developing its software so quickly right now (we just got ICS, and JB is already on several devices), and devices will be falling off the map pretty quickly. Having a Nexus device seems like the best way to protect against this.
I'm a little worried about losing the 2" of screen real estate. While the size and weight of the Tablet S make it a little awkward for reading on a plane, it does make for an outstanding movie player. I do think the IR remote is a very good idea, but the reality is that I almost never use it. Even when I have my tablet in my hand, out of habit, I pick up the remote to change channels or adjust the volume. Losing the SD card concerns me a little too, but the cloud services have come a long way, and I'm not sure it's necessary. What else might I lose if I make the switch?
I think I'm going to pick up a Nexus 7, compare the two for a few days, and make a decision at that point. But I'd love to hear from the community about this as well. Anyone else thinking about making this move? When thoughts have you had about the decision? What factors are influencing your choice to stay or go?
EDIT: stupid auto-correct still doesn't like "tablet"
Yep, I'm planning on making this move. The lack of root and an unlocked bootloader has made the Tablet S really unattractive next to a $200 pure Google tablet that will surely have a large dev community behind it. I don't mind the smaller screen, personally. The only thing I think I'd really miss is the native PS3 controller support, which makes playing emulated games on it an ease.

I've spent a lot of time analyzing the works of great developers in order to find a way to gain root on the Tablet S, trying several exploits, mixing tricks used for other devices in hope of discovering something working and have certainly learned a lot of things by doing that but every game becomes boring if you always lose...
Well, it will be no game at all if the Nexus 7 is built like the Galaxy Nexus phone where "fastboot OEM unlock" is enough to unlock the bootloader but it will make myself spend time using my tablet rather than unsuccessfuly try to root it!
PS
Yes, some people -like me- feel sick holding an unrooted android device in their hands. There is no explanation for this, it 's certainly stupid but that's the way it goes. Must be genetic
I called the Staples down the street from my office today to see if they had any N7s. Rep said they had four that just came off a truck. I went and grabbed one.
I'm just starting to play around with it. My initial reactions are: 1) the build quality feels amazing, and 2) it freaking flies.
Honestly, if I don't find a legitimate deal-breaker, this thing probably has a permanent home.
Another huge perk that I've not seen mentioned yet--while being so basic--is the ability to charge with micro USB. That damn Sony charger really limits how mobile the Tablet S truly is.

Two questions, if you please :
- does the Nexus 7 offer SD card support?
- have you try booting into fastboot mode and try the "fastboot OEM unlock" command (there should be a confirmation box allowing to leave without doing it)?

No SD card support, which is a slight concern. I have a 64 gb card in my Tablet S. Naturally, I chose the 16 over the 8 gb N7. With Google Play, though, I really shouldn't need to much space.
There is a toolkit for unlocking the bootloader, if that's what you're asking. I'll give it a try when I get home tonight. I don't see any options for unlocking directly from fastboot.

Thx !
I've finally bought a Galaxy Tab 2 7" which supports micro-SD
It's not as up to date than the Nexus 7 but it will make me wait until I sell my Sony S.

Sony tablet S is a good device and every little disease you could meet while using it should certainly be solved...
But if you take a look in the threads around here, you will see that the thing is unrootable since Honeycomb 3.2.1 kernel build #10 !

Not getting this really. Buy my wife a new kindle fire HD for Christmas. Description in app store states Disney Junior is available for HD7,8.9 and kindle fire 2. My wife searches for it on her device and every watch Disney app comes up except Disney Jr! What gives? Glad to see kindles aren't fragmented! (Sarcasm)

Could someone grab the watch disney junior apk from their Fire HD? I'd love to try it on my FireTV, but don't have a kindle device to grab it from. Thanks!
