Hi guys.

I was wondering if anyone has had much success sideloading Skydemon on a Kindle Fire HD or HDX. I know the devices dont have GPS, but for flight planning, it would be really nice if it worked.

My wife has just got a Kindle Fire HD, and I downloaded the APK from Google Play using APK Downloader app on the play store on my Samsung Galaxy S3. The APK installs after allowing non Amazon app store applications to be installed. However, when you run it, it looks like its about to load, but just goes back to the Kindle interface.

I cant see any logs. I suppose I'll need to investigate further with the Android SDK and developer options enabled. Sure would be nice if I could get at least the flight planning stuff working on it.

Many thanks,
Paul.

Sorry, this really isn't something we can help you debug. I have no idea about Kindles and how they work, but I know they resist third-party software. And I don't know enough about the Android Font system to know why this is happening. The answer to your penultimate post is yes.
