[APP] Official BBC Olympics App - Updated to 1.1.0 - Android Apps and Games

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

installed fine over cm10. too bad the app itself wont work.

I can play some videos live which go to full screen but the video stops and replays again , does anyone have a fix

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.

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.

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

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.

Google movie apk on Euro Xoom 3G unrooted

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?
Sent from my VS910 4G using XDA App
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.

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?

I downloaded the Netflix app right from the app store on the kindle. Works great!

If anyone is having trouble getting the game to show up, remember you have to use the app Market Enabler and set the carrier ID to 44010(docomo).
Does anyone have any idea if this is ever hitting NA?
If you have a Samsung device and are up for some sideloading it's available on the Samsung Apps Store.
Considering that WayForward is an English based company and this game has already been released on multiple platforms in the US, I can see this version hitting the Play Store in the US at some point.
Though in my case, I already have the DSi version of the game (note that there is no DS version, only DSi since it is a downloadable game).
Sorry guys is this game still available? I downloaded ggee market and used market enabler but ggee market doesnt want to show any game
nvm I found it

I hate when someone posts a question in a forum but if finally finds the answer then doesn't bother to post the solution
If you found the answer, you should post it here for everyone to see!
I also can't find the game in Ggee or in the Samsung Apps market. Any ideas? Unfortunately this game still isn't available in the Play Store a year and a half later
Thanks.
Hey could someone share the apk of the free version? I can not find this game anywhere for android.

HBO GO on Nexus Player (APK) & Testing.

Hi Guys,
Recently HBO GO was released for Fire TV (Source:http://phx.corporate-ir.net/phoenix.zhtml?c=176060&p=RssLanding&cat=news&id=1999513), this version should have support for various remotes and thus if anyone could pull the APK I would very grateful along with many other HBO Watchers. You probably have to be rooted to obtain the APK so keep this in mind.
EDIT: APK has been pulled - download here- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=57527277&postcount=3
Thanks Guys,
Keep up the Good Stuff

I managed to get a few videos started but yer now it seems they all cut off straight away - Do you reckon its to do with device activation?
- Also it is so laggy and slow is this the same on Fire TV? (Like in the UI - maybe missing some of the required libs to run properly)
EDIT: It always plays the intro "It's HBO GO" with Rating, however never successfully retrieves content I guess there is some sort of device handshake if not maybe the app checks the build of the device to see if it matchs or maybe some framework is missing; In any case now we have the app, we can experiment to find a solution.
How did you add it to your library? It won't let me
I managed to get it to work using the HBO Go 2.8.02 APK extracted from my Nexus 7. I disabled USB Debugging on my rooted NP running LP 5.1 and videos play just fine. Only during fast forwarding and rewinding do I get a little buffering, that's expected.
I'm using 2.7.06 and it works great. Just download and old version and 6iu should be good.
Can you please upload the apk??
