Redbox Streaming on Rooted Samsung Galaxy S2 - General Questions and Answers

I just got the free trial of redbox streaming, and the app wont play on my phone cause its rooted. Im using Jedi Mind Trick X3. Is there a way around this? They stated on their site that it wont work on rooted android devices....and it dont. I know it's probably too early for this but figured it wouldn't hurt to ask.

If you are asking for a site where you can download full paid versions of apps for free, don't ask here. Be honest and support android devs.

Rooted Devices Blacklisted from Google Movies.

Google has recently responded to a unhappy customer that was unable to view his rented movie "March of The Penguins" and has responded with a response that will effect almost everyone here.

As he said though just rename su to mu. Though I can kind of understand where Google is coming from seeing as I have had about four cease and assist letters for movie piracy.

Hmmm So we need a SU/MU toggle. ;D
Nice, maybe its time to make something.
What good does renaming it do.if Google Movies doesn't even show in the new version of Market? Is there a different version than the one I linked to?

Wow! Am I ever glad my Inspire is purely stock and unrooted! I had been thinking about rooting it. Not now, though. I feel fortunate to be one of very few people who have not rooted their Android phone.

I see what you're saying, but if this were truly the case shouldn't Google be doing anything they can to provide media content in a legal manner to all of their customers? Yes, I've rooted my phone, and I would have gladly used the Google Movie service, but since they won't let me, I guess I know how I'll continue to get my movies... If anything this move pushes users back to piracy.
Lmao really? So because I have Google movies (which cost) your happy U didn't root? I have 87 movies between three sd cards but I have zero idea where I got them . Stock? Never again

Sarcasm? Am I right
The movies tab shows up on my GF's rooted Infuse (Infused 1.5).
Movies showed up for me as well... forget which device... but all of mine are rooted.

Maybe it's build related ?
Movies don't show up on rooted inspire using coredroid. But shows up on stock flyer. Doesn't bother me one bit though. Torrentz is king.

Definitely! especially since they refuse to actually update the inspire to the newest versions anyway, screw 'em.

Order & Chaos for Infuse

Has anyone successfully installed Order & Chaos on the Infuse? Seeing as the Infuse is such a close cousin to the Galaxy S phones and most of those phones officially support O&C, it seems like it should work fine on the Infuse but I haven't seen any threads about it.

it appears to be one of those high quality game loft games. they code games for the hardware and they may check the build.prop for compatability, so even a compatible device might not play the game if they havent added the device to there supported list. if it is in the market it may work if it is gameloft website only you may need to register the phone number and claim what carrier you have, they haven't really been supporting att devices for some reason, i didnt have much success downloading there games by anyones instruction but others claim it works. good luck, let us know your results!
i hate that they have all the checks because anyone with root and chianfire 3d can run games for other chipsets just fine. why not detect the gpu and cpu and have one universal install that has coding for several different api's? would it make the game that much bigger?

lol @ WoW
dude you werent kidding! look at the screenshots..
*shakes head*
Yeah, it basically is WoW for your phone. I've been playing it for a couple of months on an old iPhone 3GS, an HTC Inspire and on my ASUS Transformer. If an MMORPG is your cup of tea, I can't recommend Order and Chaos enough.
Anywho, Order & Chaos is not officially supported on the Transformer but I was able to get it to work by rooting it, downloading the game cache manually, and using Titanium Backup to install an "all devices" version of the game. I haven't rooted the Infuse yet and I was hoping there would be a way to install Order & Chaos without rooting but it sounds like rooting might be the only way.

If you're up to try it, follow the instructions here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1159975
Download the cache file referenced there and unzip it to /gameloft/games . Then PM me your email address and I'll send you the download link to the Titanium Backup backup of the game (I would post it here but I think it's considered warez). Then you unpack the TiBu backup to /TitaniumBackup , open TiBu, and restore the game from there.
Edit: I should mention that I don't know of this will actually work on the Infuse but this is how it worked on the Transformer.

with branding and market keys you won't see every app. use http://market.android.com to see all the apps. apps will push to the phone, or you can get the site from the phone if you change the useragent in the browser.
It is incompatible with the Infuse. I was looking at it yesterday and the market through the browser said it was a no go. I was disappointed, honestly.

It's not officially supported, but it works just fine. I don't understand why Gameloft does this with some of their games - they make their games available only for specific devices - but Order & Chaos definitely works with the Infuse. Use the .apk that zeus408 provided (I think it was the 9th post in this thread).
Downloaded and plays fine on my infuse but wont download on my buddies motorolla droid. I used the same apk as I did on my phone.

Weird, just downloaded this on my work pc, then e-mailed it to my gmail. In the e-mail, next to the attachment, when viewing on my phone, there is an "Install" button right there in the e-mail, which acted just like .apk installer. Is that a feature of APK installer, or what? Either way, that's pretty damn cool...

[Q] applanet not showing anything

Ive tried many different version of applanete but none have been working so far, it just doesnt show anuthing
Please help
Easy fix...
Open the Android Market. Find the app you're looking for, and install it. If it's a paid app, purchase it.
Don't steal from developers that put a lot of time into making quality apps that make your phone better. If you can't afford the app, then use the free version or do without. Or learn how to make your own, put hours, days, months worth of work into it, and give it away for free.

MirrorOP app

Guys and Gals of XDA, I think I've found the Holy Grail for the Xperia Play:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.awindinc.sphone2tv&hl=en
A little app called MirrorOP Sender. Fully functional Android display mirror to PC and it runs fairly well.
Just played the first level of Super Mario Bros with only 1 death...Streamed from my Play to my PC connected to my TV through HDMI
All you need is the MirrorOP Receiver for the PC and you're good to go:
http://www.mirrorop.com/product_Windows_Receiver.html
The sender app is only a trial but it's worth a test. I'm not sure if the framerate is connected to how good your internet connection is. My internet isn't that good and it displays fine (portrait and landscape) but from some American speedtests I've seen maybe some of the Americans in here might have better results
Going to give ago. If works, extremely good find :thumbup:
Sent from my LT26i using XDA
Not bad, not bad at all! Excellent find!
Just found out you can also do it the opposite way as well if you get the MirrorOP receiver for your Play and Sender for PC
Runs brilliantly and means I can still access my desktop from the comfort of the toilet
Root only.

Tried it out will be perfect if it didn't lag..... Atleast for games and videos ..... But displaying pictures are ok enough......

Not worth paying for yet as just to slow for games. Can test out first as the apps are free for demo time. But this does have lots of potential in the long run. Still early days yet but if see how good splashtop is, this app good just be as good and fast with some more work done to it.
