So far it looks like a crappy slideshow.

Watching it using Chrome on a PC. Lots of interesting stuff going on.

New Market. http://market.android.com.
UPDATE: We can sign in now. When going to download an app it offers a list of what device to install it to. My only Android device is my G Tablet and the market lists it as NVIDIA VEGAn-Tab-V1.0.0.B5.1.

Technically an web-based app market should offer us an "full" app market, no? i'm sure every app is visible, i guess the question now is after we log in will the app market recognize our device and attempt to block certain apps from us, or would an app that doesn't show up on the Gtab just give us an app not found when we click on it from the Gtab browser?

Can currently browse the apps, but no download here. Can't sign in to account on G Tablet yet.

Correct when trying to sign into market.android.com you get a invalid request both on the PC and Gtab and Phone.

They mentioned that when you select an app, it will list the available devices you can push it to, based off your registered devices features and OS.
I take this to mean that if you can't see it in the Market on your device.....your device want be listed as a choice to install for those apps on the web.
Oh..and this is typically for you to do from your home/work/public library computer.....browse the apps, select what you want and it installs to your phone. You still use the "Market" app on the devices (phones/tablets).

I wonder if this will be unusable for people with devices that aren't intended to have access to the Market like our beloved G Tabs. Will Google let you OTA install to a device that they think shouldn't be there?

Invalid Request
I get nothing but "Invalid Request" when trying to sign in.

If all the apps aren't showing up, just use the market hack. Go to the task manager, force stop and clear the browser cache and reboot.

[WIP] Google Play Movies (Without root check)

Just thought I'd start a thread on this and see if there's any interest. If there is, I'd like to get some people together to edit and post an *.apk . As things stand, VOODOO OTA Rootkeeper lets me temp-unroot to use Google Play Movies, but I miss the old Google Movies I had with the root check disabled.

I'm interested in this, super annoyed I can't take advantage of the 25 cent movie promo

Definitely interested. I'm using Voodoo OTA Rootkeeper but Play Movies crashes the second I try to watch or download a movie. Anyone else having this issue? I'm running a Verizon XOOM LTE rooted as well as a Galaxy Nexus LTE running CM9. The whole point of these apps is to allow media consumption on my wireless devices, so having to watch the movies on my laptop seems to defeat the purpose.

Thought Voodoo OTA don't work with Samsung devices?

Well, I was able to temp-unroot with VOODOO OTA Rootkeeper, and Google Play Movies launched without a hitch and didn't display the root warning. I haven't tried to rent/view a movie yet, but all seems to be in working order. However, as I said in my previous post, I really just want the root check disabled. Before updating, I had a version of Google Movies with root check disabled and I loved it! I just want the updated Google Play Movies with the same modification. I really hope someone with some know-how gets a chance to look at this thread. I'd like to see a modded *.apk before the end of the week. There are a lot of great rental deals on the Play Store that I would love to take advantage of on my Galaxy Note's gorgeous 5.3" HD Super AMOLED display.
I'll see what I can do about getting this thread temporarily moved to "Development."

Saying "I'd like to see an apk by the end of the week" isn't the proper way to ask. This isn't a problemonly Notes suffer, this is an Android problem, have you searched xda already?

When I said I'd like to see an *.apk by the end of the week, it wasn't intended to be taken as a push for someone to mod an *.apk for us. I really did just mean that I'd like to see an *.apk by the end of the week. There are a lot of really great deals on the Android Mar.... ahem... Play Store right now and it would be a shame if a bunch of people weren't able to take advantage of those deals and enjoy those movies simply because their devices were rooted. I would really like to see this problem solved. And yes, at the time of the OP, I had searched extensively for an updated *.apk with root check disabled... to no avail.
To address your other concern, I was able to temp-unroot and restore root without any ill effects. If there are any issues with busybox, I haven't noticed any of them yet. If there is something specific for which you'd like me to test, I'd be happy to give it a shot. Just let me know.

If you're able to backup and restore apps in titanium backup OK then you should be good. Or try giving/denying permissions with SuperUser to a new root app. If that's working good you're good
Unfortunately Google knows it loses business by restricting rentals but...think of it. Rooted phones have yhe aability to capture and copy movies. It will never happen by Google's hand

Ya'. That blows. I really wish I knew as much about Android as I do iOS. I would just mod the *.apk myself. I miss the good ole' days of modding *.ipa files. Now those are easy to mod. They're just *.zip archives with a different extension.

[Q] How do I tell Touchwiz to always ask what to do with YouTube Links?

Sometimes I like to view them on my device with the YouTube app, sometimes I like to send them to Kodi. When it asks what to do with the link, whatever I select magically becomes the default option until I reset the preferences. Any ideas?

I feel your pain. my old phone would ask me which app I wanted to use for a particular function and if I wanted to set it as a default app. if I didn't set it, it would ask every time, but with the S7 it asks once and automatically sets whatever you chose as default. not cool.

I'm using an app in the Play store called Better Open With. Works perfect so far.

[APP][5.0+][ROOT] Play Music Exporter

Hey everybody,
some of you might have known this app, but that hasn't been updated in a while. I therefore decided to fork the "new" beta a few months back, and I got that working again and extended it a bit.
What is it?
Basically, it's an app that takes the cached and downloaded songs of Google Play Music, adds ID3 tags to them from the database of GPM, searches for covers online, and saves all that together in an MP3 wherever you want.
Bug reports and Feature Requests:
If you have any questions, feel free to ask here, or in the matrix discussion room. If you find any bugs, or have feature requests, please check the issue tracker on github, if you can't find it, report it there, post in this thread, or write a message in the discussion room linked above.
Download:
You can download the app either on F-Droid, or XDA-Labs. Please note though, that the release to F-Droid is a bit faster, since it is automatic, and I only add a release on XDA-Labs, after it has been successfully published to F-Droid.

Hey jcgruenhage! Many thanks for the app, that helps you to get all your cached music from Google Play Music All Access. And also, many thanks for the tipp, that it is possible to get the unprotected mp3 directly on PC from GMPAA with help of Remix OS Player.
You are great!

Thanks for this app. I am wondering, does this require root?

Yes, as it says in the description

Thank you so much for your rework of the initial app !
This is now working again (Galaxy S6 under LL) and actually perfect !

I love the concept of this app, however I'm having issues. No matter where I set the export location (internal or external) or where Google has the music saved (again, internal or external), the app gets through a few hundred songs then seems to freeze on one randomly. The app doesn't crash or give me an error, it just seems to stop working. This is regardless of whether the device is awake, asleep, running other apps, running nothing, etc. It seems to move progressively slower in exporting each song until it just decides to stop.

Well, I guess if I post this here, I should be able to check every now and then, just changed the description above, post issues wherever you want, I'll collect them on github ^^
On to your issue however: There have been a few people reporting this on the original app, and so far, I have not found the cause. However, using the automatic export, I have seen a few hundred songs getting exported without any delay, so maybe unifying the export calls of these two operations might help.

Doesn't work with MagiskSU.

Not asking for root magisksu

Working perfectly on my rooted Nexus 9!

Can you please add download support for this app?

Thank you.

I sometimes buy albums from Google to use on me iPod (iTunes is ehh) and having to manually add meta-data to each song is tedious. This app solves that perfectly.
Thank you very much for this, works well on phh's superuser

Music Mate is different in a two key points:
Closed Source and "needs" a lot of permissions, in addition to costing money.
Interacts with the Google Servers instead of the local storage.
The first one is a big problem for privacy reasons, you're giving yet another company data about you, that they can use for whatever they want. The second is even worse, since that means that Google can find out about you ripping music/violating their terms of service, without even looking on your phone. This is true for any app using unofficial Play Music APIs.
If you are going to use something like that, I'd recommend GMusicProxyGui. That is free, open source, and probably even uses the same backend (gmusicproxy) for downloading the songs.

Ah true true. I didn't even think about that. I used to use a program for Windows (Song Spout) that did basically the same thing and cost $10 a year (originally). It probably used the same method as Music Mate.
I've been using Music Mate because I've been running my phone unrooted for a while due to that damned Safety Net. Thankfully, my tablet is in the "couldn't care less about Safety Net" group so this will work on it.
Thanks for updating this app. :good:

Ad block for YouTube app?

What are you guys using to block ads in the YouTube app? I used to use an xposed module. Not sure if that will still work or if there's another method these days. Any suggestions?
Thanks!

Just install the app called YouTube Vanced from their website. It will just skip right over the ads like they're not even there. You'll need to install that plus MicroG in order to be able to login.. IF you use and have Google Chrome browser running you need to force stop it and disable it until you're done signing in otherwise the sign in will just sit there and not work.. You can enable it again after it's installed and you're logged in to.. Choose one of the NON ROOT versions and install both YouTube Vanced and MicroG found here. https://www.mediafire.com/folder/773e97cz2ezx1/AddFree_Youtube_BackgroundPlay_Enabled

They released a manager (check their website) so you can check for updates and install the app and requirements easily.

When you use either samsung internet or beta ver., in their bucket under app settings they call ad-ons, there is an ad-block app selection called ad-block for YouTube(you'll see it in the drop-down menu), and that's probably the same one the other gentleman already responded to you with?
It's by-far, the best one I've ever test drove, as I'm not a great fan of those!:laugh:

lol I remember when you tube did not have any adds, then it was short ads every few videos, then it was ads at the beginning and end of video now there are more ads than videos. I would love to strip all the ads out of you tube, but don't want any malware installed on my phone.... lol

My advice would be plain and simple.
Use Samsung Internet Browser.
I know it's not perfect, but for me not bad at all.
I'm sure it's a good alternative.?
I really got so fed up with YouTube ads that i looked for a good straight forward alternative...
(I also did not want to use YouTube Vance etc..)
Saw remarks about Samsung internet browser,
started using it,
Very surprised, it was fast smooth etc.
With Samsung offering , free to install, add ons, to the browser....
AdBlockers and also a free to install, YouTube AdBlocker,
See screenshot.
i must admit i have not seen one advert, when browsing YouTube.
Note
I'm logged into YouTube with my Google account.
So my advice is to use Samsung Internet Browser
to browse YouTube until you get a better option.?
Good luck.

This and notifications making me stick with Android ..

Cercube is available on iOS too . IN jb you can install tweak in even latest version of youtube app.

The beauty of vanced if you turn your screen times off
YouTube will continue to play
Perfect for me as I do a lot of driving...
Just tried it with Samsung browser screen times out youtube stops playing
Something for you to maybe think about?

I use YouTube Premium to block all ads while still supporting my favorite creators.

Vote for Vanced. The latest version has an option to remove (+) button even. It allows to hide all these distracting tiles, gifs, stories etc, leaving the pure video clips only.

I'm a long time Adguard user, no adds in apps, browser, nowhere
