Google Music Beta APK

Hi, can anyone upload one of the apks for the music beta. The market has blocked access to the download as I'm out of the US and dont want to have to log into google in a proxy! I got an invite earlier today, thanks!

The google music service is for USA only. So I doubt that it will stream to outside usa.

Actually, if Music is anything like Voice, it only checks location upon registration, not during use, so it should work fine. I'd appreciate an APK upload as well.

can someone who has had his invite please post the .exe for the desktop musc manager please? or tell me how i get invited outside of US?

Use a proxy website to access the invite page, it's then just a matter of waiting, mine took around a week!

Nope, did it on my laptop, I've only got a transformer and a UK Wildfire linked to the account, I registered on the night of the announcement though, they are probably giving them out in chunks.

Can anyone upload the .apk file of latest Google Music Beta? When I install through markets it is missing the Settings option. I have already tried re-installing after clearing data, restarted handset, etc. but no luck. I want to check if it will show up if I install .apk directly if anyone can upload it.

I had this issue on my phone, for a fix see post 269 at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1072655&highlight=google+music&page=27
The thread also has the APK. Or download the market access app to spoof you are in the US (needs root)

Will the settings option only show if I've been invited?
I've tried that method with no joy

2.2
i'm liveing in the States and i have this installed on both my phone and tab. i have found for some rather odd reason the settings option doesn't appear on 2.2 or any froyo based roms. i had to do some major testing on this to verify.

I registered for an invite in the UK the same day it got announced and just got the invite yesterday so they're still handing them out.

Google movie apk on Euro Xoom 3G unrooted
I can install it but when I launch it, it always goes into force close, any solutions.

Hi,
I'm from the Netherlands and i own a Asus Transformer (running 3.2 custom rom by Revolver).
I recently got my self a Music Beta account by using a tutorial to get an account when living outside the USA. (proxy method)
I also waited around one week and got it. I have uploaded more than 8000 songs and got it working on the 3.2 rom.
I must say that the 3.2 Revolver rom got the right version of the Google Music player. The stock 3.1 rom did not.
But after a quick google search if found the latest version of the apk. Then it also worked on the stock 3.1 rom.
Ones you get all your music on the account and got the player synchronising with the account, man it's the best!!
I use Music beta on my desktop with my browser and on the tablet it is even better working. And it looks amazing.
So get your account and enjoy the streaming of your own music.
Greetings, Pigs

Sideload Apps

Will this support Netflix?

From what I've read, even thou Amazon is directly competing with Netflix they are interested in having it on the fire. I'm kinda surprised by that. Really thou, Mine is already pre-ordered, hopefully it arrives on the 14th. First thing I will do is try to sideload Netflix, so I wil let you know for certain when I receive it.

According to the engadget review, you can sideload apps. The caveat is that they seem to not work too well.
I can't post the link because apparently I've not posted enough. It's right on their front page though.

Email yourself the dropbox apk, then you can install apk's from your dropbox (or keep emailing yourself apk's to install). Some don't work fully, Market won't at all (darn). You'll have to also check off install 3rd party apps from the device settings.

If you grab netflix from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1076150
You can install that and it's working fine for me, streaming Prince of Persia now. It was stuttering a bit but then stopped after I paused it for a few seconds to catch up with buffering (I think).

Google Apps?
Does someone have the link(s) where we can grab Google apps (Gmaps, Gmail,Gtalk, etc...)?

I think we might have to get these ourselves. The biggest issue that I found was that I couldn't get google maps location services to work, maps loaded but wouldn't find me when I selected to.
Update: Gmail does not work right now (has to do with the account being set). FC
Maps works but no location.

Looks as though sideloading netflix is the only option until the official Netflix app hits the amazon store at some point. Right now it isn't in there -- hulu+ is and works pretty well.

It's there now. I just installed it.

Somebody please sideload ADW or ADW Ex and post the results.

I can confirm Netlifx is in the Amazon AppStore. You have to look for it from the device.

Also, XDA works via sideloading as you can see for those of you that don't want to re-buy the app.

I side loaded adwlauncher ex. Works fine except bottom home tray stays active. The amazon fire tray.

Go launcher, facebook app, twitter are all working for me. Of all things, I can't get the USAA app to install.

After installing the google services framework apk from the gapps zip from cyanogens site, i was able to get google books and gmail working - gmail wont auto-check mail atm, but it works. Also, adw ex works for the most part - you have to drag application shortcuts to the homescreen by holding down on them from the drawer, as the popup to add an application seems to be broken.
Also sideloaded dropbox and netflix without issues, as well as beautiful widgets and the animation package for it - latest facebook apk was force-closing on me.

Has anyone gotten google reader? Where can I get gmail? Which gapps should I use? The tiny one?

GQ Magazine app please?

Could someone post the GQ app, it's only available for the Fire at this time, but I'd like to try it on my tablet.

GQ magazine APK please
I have the kindle fire but decided to put ICS on it. I notice that the market and as well as amazon app store doesnt show the GQ app. I couldn't find a post of the GQ apk on the forum so I was wondering if someone knows a way to get the app via market of amazon app store or can someone post a link to the apk.

Back up apps
You can't seem to download the APK file.
I suggest you back the app up on your kindle fire using titanium backup (or similar app) and then restore it on other tablet.
I'm too noob to post links - google it.
Hope this helps!

Unable to connect to the Internet
Thanks for sharing this apk. One question tho- I'm using the gedeRom ICS mod and when I open the GQ magazine app you've provided, even though I'm connected to wi-fi I get the error "Cannot update library - Unable to connect to the Internet" and the log-in fields are not available. Did anyone else experience this problem as well?
Thanks!

Thank you for posting the GQ file.
Running Cyanogenmod 9 on an HP Touchpad, I was able to download the magazines I'm subscribed to, but when I try to view the files using the GQ app, it crashes and gives the standard "Unfortunately, GQ has stopped" line. I have the newest version of Adobe Air installed.
Any ideas?
Thanks.

I can't get it to let me sign in. I was able to activate and create and an account based on my subscription but it can't actually connect after that. Bummer.

Getting the tablet versions of apps.

This has been my main issue since getting the 7.0 Plus. I'll DL an app from the marketplace that has tablet enhancements and what I'll end up getting on the device is the phone version of the app. Examples are Xfinity, Gigbeat, IMDB, and Google Docs among others. I'm assuming it's the screen resolution on these. But, I dunno. Is there any way to force the tablet version of the app?

Google Docs as far as I know doesn't really have a "Tablet Version" not all apps do. If you search the web market and see 2 different versions, try to install it from there. If not you can contact the developer and ask them to make a tablet specific version. I can state this about Google Docs for sure because I had a Transformer earlier and it used the same version.

Is there a way to spoof and/or change its DPI settings so than an app thinks it's running on a 1200x800 tablet?

No, in theory you might be able to modify the build.prop but in the end the easiest way is to just contact the developer. I did that with Splashtop, and 3 days later they had released an update with the support for the Tab Plus' resolution.

My splashtop works great. I wish EA would get on board with this. I love playing Madden and NFSHP

Splashtop works great locally, not over the internet. Pocketcloud is much more bandwith efficient over RDP.

Is this something that ICS will fix?

[APP] Official BBC Olympics App - Updated to 1.1.0

Moderated.

Dude... exactly what I need. You are awesome.

Thanks was just reading about its release else where.
Made for sharing as they say...

Awesomesauce. The really strange thing is that while the Play Store won't even let you install the app if you're in the US, the app itself appears to be geographically aware -- I see a front page section called "Team USA". I can't imagine that's hard coded.

works on stock jelly bean
Thanks for this. I tried Market Enabler and had the message it wasn't compatible with my device (GNex Jelly Bean). This apk installed fine and I can open the app and watch videos. No live streams yet, so see what happens then.

Yea, it obviously knows where I am, but who cares, the NBC official app is horrible...

Yeah, it was kinda strange for me too. On the market (via Chrome) it said that my device isn't compatible, when I scanned a QR code it said that I can't download it outside the UK, but Market Enabler did the trick.
It's such a good app!

Thx for the link. It's kind of a cool feature, but unfortunately not so handy if you are an expatriate.. I live in Sweden but I'm Italian.. so "unfortunately" I'll get all the news about the Swedish team and not about the fabulous Italian athletes

Thanks a ton mate. You're the best.

Hi,
Thanks a million for this app. Are you able to play videos? I get the following message "video playback is not supported on this device"
My GN is running android 4.1.1 (jelly bean)

BBC usually limit their streaming video to UK IP addresses, so I don't think streaming will work on non-UK IPs. Just a guess though...

Anyone got the app to play movies on jelly bean ? I have manually installed teh flash apk but get the little plugin icon when i try to play movies

Thanks for the .apks guys! I was bummed when I tried to install from the playstore and being in the US it wouldn't let me. Of course, XDA and you people come to the rescue. Works great on my OG Evo.
