However, Google Play doesn’t offer Amazon apps and the HD+ doesn’t allow easy apps sideloading so I’m now trying to see if I can sideload the app using the PC and ADB. It is somewhat frustrating to see that it is a much easier chore for my friend who has the Galaxy Nexsus phone. He simply goes to his phone setting to bypass Google Play and install Amazon apps and download my fav app from there.
The answer is that Google, not Apple or Amazon, owns YouTube. They won't permit YouTube downloaders in their store, so if you want that kind of app (probably TubeMate) you'll have to make a ClockworkMod card and enable Unknown Sources.
