Barry and H1000, bigdodgetrain got it to work from his Amazon kindle Fire after he jumped the holes to get it to work with the premium 24.99 app. Legacy works everything but the Start up and Shut Down button doesn’t.
I didn't see anything in that video that indicated he was running the Premium or Standard app. As Barry and I have both stated, you can install the DCS app by manually copying the APK installer to device, I nor he dispute this as we have both done this.
The problem occurs when you try to connect to Google Play servers to purchase an upgrade. This limits the Kindle to running FREE versions of the app only. If you can get the DCS App to be FULLY (I can't emphasize this word enough) functional on the Kindle, then you have peaked my interest. I would want to see extremely specific procedures on how to bypass the road blocks of a getting the Google Play apps and service working properly on the Kindle to allow the app upgrades to be purchased or synced with your current google play account. The procedures listed previously didn't work on either of my Kindle devices.
I see the Kindle as a device that can run the DCS Explorer fully or the WIU in the FREE only version of the app.
You cant get this screen with the basic. That Loco is a Lionel Legacy ES44AC
Again, I need to see extremely specific procedures on how this was performed, the procedures listed previously did not work on my kindles. I willing to give it another shot but I am tired of wasting my time on this. If I am having this much trouble with it, why would anyone else want this headache?
Also, can anyone guarantee that Amazon or Google will not release updates (automatic or otherwise) that will break this functionality? As Amazon pushes it own App store they sure don't want people picking up cheap Kindles only to use Google's Play store and not purchase anything from Amazon.
Did you bother to check what version of the OS you have?
The older Fires have an Android 2 build - that won't work ever.
More recent models are built off a 4 series Android - and might work.
