Google Currents App (?)

[wvdude]

I would love to try out the new Google Currents App on the fire. I found a copy of the apk and it failed to install.

Anybody have an idea of how we might go about trying it out?

I suspect rooting and installing Google Services would be a good start.

I haven't tried to install it on my Fire yet but it is fantastic on my Xoom . The UI is outstanding!

Ok, did it.

Here's how:

After rooting (of course):

1) Download and extract the Maps Framework
2) Download the Google Currents apk file
3) Place "com.google.android.maps.jar" into /system/framework/ directory and change permissions to match the other files.
4) Place "com.google.android.maps.xml" to /system/etc/permissions/ directory and also modify permissions to match the other files.
5) Reboot
6) Install the .apk

DONE!

If you don't want to root your Kindle Fire then Use Pulse awesome news reader app with lot's of magazines.
