I installed the application. When I try to run, it says no Sim found, I have my sim installed and can make calls, I have HTC Aria CM6.1.x experimental. Why should that browser need a sim card.
Thanks
Has anyone tried this with positive results?
Its ok. Can't turn off hepatic feedback!! Major downer. Its slightly slower than opera.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
It loads the pages WAY too big for the htc dream screen... iv tried every option in the settings to fix this but they did nothing.... non of the options work... at least its not another peice of **** stock browser recompile like dolphin.. ect
Looks Nice and Sounds nice, I'm using a HTC incredible, and every time I try to run it it say's no SIM found, also the haptic feedback is annoying. sounds promising though, thanks for the Beta.
Works fine on my hd mini, with one problem though, if i leave the device alone for a while so that it locks itself while uzard running on horizontal view...everything freezes and requires a soft reset. Device getting locked with vertical view works perfectly fine ... any ideas guys?
no SIM found using htc evo
No unfortunately it works on x10 Experia. but after you start is always on the homepage .... : (
Pretty good so far. Works with a Bing Maps GPS tracker where no other browsers would. Needs to be able to register as a browser when clicking links outside the app (i.e. link in Gmail)
I'm looking for some software that will allow me to download videos, music, photos and other documents from my home PC to my android phone over the internet.
So far I have found only remote desktop clients and some streaming services but I really want something that will allo me to download the files rather than just stream them.
Any suggestions welcome!
I need it too!
EDIT: can't post links, search for "Airvidplay" in market.
Extract media videos embedded in web pages and display them on any player you want! With Airvidplay you can extract video clips embedded in websites (Even if your browser does not support FLASH!) having the freedom for playing it anytime, on the device you want without the need of using a web browser. Once Airvidplay has processed a web page with an embedded video and you extract the video link you can:
-Watch the video in the native Android player or your favorite Android player (*).
-Download the video directly to your mobile device for later viewing without relying on an internet connection (**).
-Send a direct link to the video from your Android device to the TV in your living room or any 'renderer' DLNA in order to play it automatically with the highest quality possible (***).
-Share a direct link to the extracted video by email with a friend or yourself for playing it on any PC application.
Airvidplay is very simple to use: explore the web (or the specific video site app) from where you want to extract the video, share the link address with the "Share" function and then select "Airvidplay" in the list of available applications. If you run Airvidplay manually, the application tries to find a valid video link copied to the clipboard. Before playing, if desired, you can select the preferred video quality within the available (Low, Standard, High or HD). Sit back and enjoy the video!
Currently Airvidplay 1.0 supports the following video sites:
-Youtube.com
-Dailymotion.com
-Vimeo.com
-Marca.com
-Rtve.es
- ... And more supported sites in future releases!
Limitations:
-Airvidplay is unable to extract embedded videos on websites not belonging to the original video own domain. You must visit the original web video for proper operation.
This is a free version and it includes advertising banners. Airvidplay has been programmed in MIT App Inventor environment with minor modifications of Dalvik opcodes in the final stage.
NOTES:
(*) The native Android media player does not support playback of most low quality videos (FLV). To be played on an Android device a FLV player as "Mx Player" is required.
(**) Most web browsers automatically try to play videos instead of downloading them. "Opera Mobile" has been tested as capable of downloading videos.
(***) To send videos from Airvidplay to your TV or DLNA 'renderer' you need a DLNA control point as "BubbleUPnP" installed on your Android device.
Looks promising

Looks very interesting!
I'm using a JellyBean rom on an older device that doesn't allow to play flash videos in browser so I wast just thinking about an app doing what you are doing, like yesterday!
But unfortunately I get an error when launching the app:
java.lang.UnsupportedOperationException
Source file: Form.java
Line Number: 445
My system is in french so it is probably a language incompatibility.
Let me know if you need more info on this.

Interesting idea, but a NOGO for me as it only supports several sites. Somehow similar to Twonky Beam, it supports also Flash, but less sites.

If there's a valid link in clipboard, Airvidplay retrieves it automatically, so no need for paste function.
Could you please add support for comedycentral.com, thecomedynetwork.ca, nbc.com, and citytv.com
Nice App! Keep going!
Sources for plugins
Well, I've played with this app a bit and it looks very promising - good job! The only problem is - one needs to wait for the developer to add support for their favorite site and/or wait for site support to be fixed when the site changes the layout/structure. It's a cat and mouse game, but it has a chance of working if there are multiple persons working on support for various content.
I've worked for a few years on a similar project that used a site scraper to get the video links and push them to a media player (the WDTV Live). The project is called UMSP and is part of the WDLXTV firmware for that media player. There are a ton of (>50) plugins written for UMSP that handle some sort of scraping (mostly by using regular expressions or acting as a proxy) in order to get the URL for the video file and pass it to the player process.
I guess the logic behind some of those plugins can be added to Airvidplay and extend its functionality in the future. The plugins are written in PHP so they can't be directly used, though...
Supported plugins (note, not all of them still work - check out the details thread for each one if you want to port the scraping code over): http://umsp.wdlxtv.com/manifest.xml
You can get the plugin code via svn (svn co --username guest --password guest https://svn.wdlxtv.com/svn/umsp umsp-plugins) or have a look through the web portal: http://svn.wdlxtv.com/listing.php?repname=UMSP
The info.php file in each plugin will contain a description of the plugin + a link to its support forum thread.
A guide to understanding how such plugins work (and how to develop one): http://wiki.wdlxtv.com/UMSP_plugin_development
UMSP plugin forum: http://forum.wdlxtv.com/viewforum.php?f=53
Now, I understand that this will involve a lot of work on the developer's part, but at least he can read some code to understand how to extract a video URL (and in some cases how to decrypt it!) to make a specific site work. Because of the amount of work involved I guess the future of this project will be brighter if the program would have a "plugin mode" - some mechanism for users to add their own parsers/scrapers so that one can add support for any site they desire (as long as they know some regular expressions). I'm not sure what the best way to build this plugin architecture would be - could be something simple as reading the regular expressions from text files in a specific directory at start time and associating a base URL to a regular expression, or could be something more complex.
Since site structure often changes, the plugins would be more efficient and easier to be maintained (while still being downloaded with the app).
If you are interested in expanding this application and if you need my help with porting some code from these plugins, let me know and I'll try to help.
Other projects of interest might be the cclive/quvi project (http://quvi.sourceforge.net/) and the XBMC scrapers.
In what folder do the videos get saved to?
is there a chance of supporting twitch.tv VODS and livestreams? i would love it for both
I haven't seen any developments in almost 1 year. No open sources either. I would say it's a lost cause
It's not working any more. Also, it disappeared from the market.

This guide is to answer the question, "can you stream videos from your android device to your modded Wii?"
Sort answer is yes, with two apps on your android and two apps on your Wii, you can stream nearly any video format to your Nintendo Wii or copy past any files between the two. This gives us that have the required hardware the ability to sync save data files between emulators, install new software, entertain the room, and much more. Best of all the apps are free and this guide comes with pictures to step you through the entire process.

Wii Android hacks
Required hardware for these projects
One TV or display for the Wii
One modded Wii; most Wii's can be modded with an exploit called "letter bomb hack for Wii" just Google it, watch a few videos, read a few guides and do it.
One Android device; this can be a tablet or phone
One wireless access point; this can be a Wi-Fi router or another rooted phone or the rooted android device that you wish to connect to your Wii, more on that later though.
Downloads for Wii
Homebrew Browser
http://www.codemii.com/download/
Note: if you use the above link the downloads for Wii in the following sections can be completed with Homebrew Browser instead of copying and pasting with a PC
Streaming videos wirelessly to Wii from Android
Downloads for Wii
WiiMC
http://www.wiimc.org/downloads/
Just download the most recent version and unpack onto you Wii's SD card's apps directory. Or if using Homebrew Browser then just search for this app under the media tab.
Downloads for Android
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=nalic.app.wifishare
Directions for Android to Wii streaming
Yes it's completely possible (and without wires) to stream videos off your rooted Android to your modded Wii. I'll see about writing up a full guide if you all seem interested ... for now though I'll assume you'll want to know how I did it quickly
1. Download and install WiiMC to your Wii if you've not already done so. Either use the Wii app, Homebrew browser, to install it or use the following link to download and extract to the apps folder on the Wii's SD card with a PC.
www.wiimc.org
2. Download and install Wi-Fi Share to your rooted Android device
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=nalic.app.wifishare
3. Set up Wi-Fi FTP to point to the folders you want to share
- Tap the gear symble in the corner of the screen
https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B46yVbeWkbYKRExJZldTTU05aWs/edit?usp=docslist_api
- set user name and password
- set the file path on your device that points to your SD card or directly to the folder that houses videos
https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B46yVbeWkbYKMDVYbDZid1ZKM1U/edit?usp=docslist_api
4. Connect your Android device to a wireless access point, for this I used an old rooted phone that has the Hotspot function but no data connection to the outside world, but you can use a wireless router instead.
5. Open Wi-Fi FTP again and start the service.
6. Now to pick up the Wiimote and set up a FTP connection with WiiMC
https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B46yVbeWkbYKRGpGMlNQTGU4UjQ/edit?usp=docslist_api
- Finger up to the gear symbol in the upper right corner, click it,
https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B46yVbeWkbYKNHpQd1dUVHBlSmc/edit?usp=docslist_api
and finger down to Network
https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B46yVbeWkbYKOUNxVDZBUUdfWDg/edit?usp=docslist_api
- Add a new FTP (it's the option that isn't smb) and input the info from the FTPServer app; IP-address, port, username, and password.
Note: don't worry about setting a folder path in the WiiMC screen we're in right now because FTPServer will take care of this if set properly.
https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B46yVbeWkbYKWG5yeDlWN0pvMGM/edit?usp=docslist_api
https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B46yVbeWkbYKYnNldTFSWnd4YXM/edit?usp=docslist_api
- Back out of the setup screen on WiiMC and finger over to the Film icon (on the far left of the screen) and you should see your new connection, click it and enjoy browsing and playing almost all your videos on your Wii.
https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B46yVbeWkbYKUGZWYlpfVnFFR1k/edit?usp=docslist_api
Additional notes
Root may not be required for the app to work but it doesn't hurt as it allows many to activate Wi-Fi tethering on older devices
This is a great way to up-cycle an old android phone into a media server for your Wii and possibly other devises
Latensy is very low and so long as the video isn't to high resolution the Wii should play any format you phone or tablet can throw at it
Transferring files wirelessly between Wii and Android (either direction)
Downloads for Wii
WiiXplorer
https://code.google.com/p/wiixplorer/downloads/list
Just download the most recent version and unpack onto you Wii's SD card's apps directory. Or if using Homebrew Browser then just search for this app under the media tab.
Downloads for Android
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=lysesoft.andftp
Directions for Android to Wii file transfer
1. With a PC download WiiXplorer unzip and copy to the apps folder on the Wii's SD card or use Homebrew Browser to do do it from the Wii without a PC.
2. Using the Homebrew Channel from the Wii's main screen; navigate to the new app, WiiXplorer, and load it.
3. Using the IR of the Wiimote; set up a FTP Server
move the curser over to the start button on the lower left corner of the screen
https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B46yVbeWkbYKbnBCNlZIZGlBWVU/edit?usp=docslist_api

https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B46yVbeWkbYKRDlESWpOWEMtNFE/edit?usp=docslist_api
5. using AndFTP on your Android device you may now navigate the SD card in your Wii or the SD card on your Android device and transfer files between.
Navigate to the folder on your Wii's SD card that you wish to send files from.
https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B46yVbeWkbYKNWh2LXRKSzNJVHc/edit?usp=docslist_api
Then tap on Device file browser to navigate to the files on your Android device that you wish to send to your Wii

Select the files by long pressing and then tap the Upload button to send to the Wii
https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B46yVbeWkbYKQVhpT1otMkVOdTg/edit?usp=docslist_api
6. Some additional notes
The sync option in the AmdFTP app should allow for syncing save game files between emulators on the Wii and Android device.
Using this setup you can now install new software to your Wii without breaking out a PC
Root may not be required for the app to work but it doesn't hurt as it allows many to activate Wi-Fi tethering on older devices

The Wii is a finicky thing when it comes to streaming over the network, try modifying the network settings in WiiMC to have a bit more buffer time or try lower resolution videos. I've found mp4 and flv file formats work best; I'll be off work in a few more hours and will be back then for more details
Edit 04062014- Some settings to check in WiiMC:
~ under; settings - videos ; cache fill = 30%
~ under; settings - Online Media; cache fill = 20%
Ruff average of file size being streamed = 42MB (20-30 minuets)

The apps that are transfered via sdcard from android to wii...are they any apps? For example philo, ion, cartoon network, cracked, etc? Or do they have to be those only associated with the nintendo apps? Im not that tech savvy but my husband is. And we have a wii thats just sitting a box taking up space after netflix was said to be no longer available through wii a few years back.
Hello everyone,
my application is (and will remain) free, without ads, and open source.
It lets you control the sound volume of an Android device remotely from any other device that has a web browser, Android or not.
Therefore this also includes non-Android devices (such as PC, Mac, iPhone and so on) which thus act as a remote controller.
Both devices must be connected to the same local network (Wifi).
First, I did build that app for myself, because I often use an Android tablet, connected to an audio sound system (HiFi, an old one that does not have a remote controller), to play music, and I wanted to be able to adjust sound remotely from an iPhone, in a simple way. As I did not find a free existing solution, I did it myself. I have chosen a web solution : we can now control volume remotely from any device that has a web browser.
Finally, convinced that this could be useful to someone else, I have made it public :
On Google Play Store : play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.tanaka42.webremotevolumecontrol
On GitHub : github.com/tanaka42/androidapp-webremotevolumecontrol
You will find more information and screenshots in above links.
Best regards
tanaka42
My app now has more than 150 users located all around the world, I am very happy
