How do I get the new Mezzmo app on my Kindle?

[smitbret]

According to the APK Downloader Chrome extension Guide on the page to which you linked, the extension requires a Google Services Framework Android Device ID. Presumably (based on the red warning, “Do not type in random email or device ID, it won't work”) these have to be a real GSF ID and corresponding e-mail registered with Google Play. If one does not have any Android device other than a Kindle, how might one get such an ID/e-mail pair?

Also, the FAQ on that page claims that paid apps can’t be downloaded. I gather the free version is just a trial, so that would be of no use.

How did you access the paid version for your BlackBerry? (There’s no Google Play for BlackBerry, is there?)

If you have a Blackberry device that is OS Version 10.2.1 or higher it will run most Android apps, including Mezzmo. SNAP! is a sideloadable app that is just a front end App Store for GooglePlay to run on Blackberry devices.

If it's a paid app, you just log into GooglePlay and purchase the app on your PC, then when you jump into SNAP! it will download and install like any other app.

I forgot about the Google ID, thing. The best way I have found to get around that is with a PC program called Bluestacks. It's an emulator that let's you run Android .apk files on your PC. If you install and register it, you will get a valid Google ID. Then you can just download the .apk file using Chrome and .apk downloader.

I know, it's getting kind of complicated.... curse you Amazon. I can verify that I was able to push play a couple of movies to my WDTV Live Hub using the Kindle Fire as well as playback locally. I can't find anything wrong with the way it runs on the Kindle Fire.

....except.... when I push the movie to the WDTV Live from the Kindle Fire, I can't use the regular remote control to control playback. It has to be done with the Kindle Fire. It's as if the regular remote has been disabled. Is this normal?

This is normal / expected behaviour for WD TV Live media players.

I already had the Mezzmo app demo on my Nexus 4. I finally got the .apk on my Kindle and installed the demo. The program "APK download" on my Nexus 4 would not take my Google PW. Strange.
The other method using "app backup" on my Nexus didn't work at first either. It wants to see a storage card and I don't have one. Instead it saves to some other location on the phone which I could not find. If you go to the
"archives" tab, you will see it (Mezzmo and the apk). Long press and use the option to email it to yourself. I emailed it to my computer, then to the Kindle via USB. What a pain!
It seems very good so far. Fast!

Well done on finally getting Mezzmo Android on your Kindle! Hope you enjoy using it

I just did the Bluestacks/apk downloader thing on my PC. I set up a new account via Bluestacks (I already have an account for my phone). Paid for and downloaded another copy of Mezzmo app. Got apk downloader for the PC (horrible crap-ware minefield!) and it installed as a Chrome extension. I used apk on my phone, but I'm not understanding how to use it on the pc. I think it said that it would deploy when it got to a page that it could be used on. But on the Bluestack "page" nothing really seems to happen. It's not really a page anyway, it's more like they've got their own little browser. I'm clearly out of my league here. Can anyone help?

You won't actually use Bluestacks for anything other than getting a Google ID that allows you to download the .apk so that it can be sideloaded to your Kindle Fire. I suppose you could run it through Bluestacks and use the app on your PC. Bluestacks is just an android emulator.

I gotta say, I have done my share of non-traditional installs, and this is by far the most arcane yet.
I just now wound up on a page directing me to dial a phone # for some code, I guess. This is while trying to figure out the apk downloader extension in chrome.

Considering this:

please ensure that you have logged in on the android device using the same Google account that was used to purchase the app, Mezzmo android uses this account when the app runs to verify the license details.

and all the gymnastics described in this thread, has anyone actually gotten the paid version of Mezzmo (not just the 15-day trial) to run on a Kindle? (There is no “Google account” with which one logs in on a Kindle.)

I have installed it.

Hi, riya could you please share more detail on how did you install it on kindle fire because I am also trying to install it and I am having issue in installing the Mezzmo App. Thank in advanced
