Zinio Update with Tegra 2 Hardware Acceleration

Saw this via Engadget.
Here's the Market link.

i guess the update already happened because I haven't seen a new one in the last couple of days.

Nice find. Thanks. HW acceleration really cleaned this one up.

got the update. the thing is, there is no way we can update the HC 3.1 built-in Zinio Reader app. Now I got 2 Zinio apps.

Hopefully with the next OTA they'll clean up the duplicate installs.

Just a note - this isn't built into Honeycomb, it's installed by Asus. Nits picked!
There are different magazines available depending on which app you use. I found Diesel Power in one, but not the other.

APK
Hi,
Where can I find apk (installer) for the new Zinio reader (v 1.10.3641). I can't download it using Market as it say it is not available for my country
I also tried using trick suggested for circumventing 'country' error, but no luck. Can somebody pls post a link for the apk?
Thanks.

If you're rooted just "freeze" the default app either using titanium or [email protected] app.

Same here. I've been using the Zinio client in both Iphone and PC, with no problem whatsoever. This is probably a Market issue.

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?

[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.

You can type "OK maps" in to the search bar to cache the currently viewed tiles though, so they didn't completely remove the offline maps functionality.

there you go
Dear Mapping community,
The offline maps feature is not included in today’s release of the new Google Maps app (version 7.0) for Android.
We know a lot of you love offline maps, and we've included a special feature hidden in the app that allows you to pre-load an area of the map you need offline simply by going to that area in the app and typing “OK Maps” in the search box (or speaking “OK Maps” into your Android device). That area will then be pre-loaded to your device cache and accessible when you don’t have a connection. Just return to that area of the map, and it will be available to you.

anyway to check your cached maps? a list of some sort?

Nope same error

That "Ok Maps" feature works for me on my Xperia Z, but it is running on 4.2.2

Everything works perfectly on my S3 and Note 8.0 both TW 4.1.2

What's up with Google lately taking away features rather than maintaining them or introducing new ones. First Google Talk (Hangout) and now this.
I'm impartial to the new UI design, I guess I need to give it some time to get used to it. However, taking away some of the key features hurts. For example, there is no way now to view an alternate route while already following an existing one...you need to cancel the navigation and go back to the previous screen. WHY? That was #1 best feature in original Google Maps. URGH.

Why not
why not version for android 4.0 ???

Uber app will not work on our devices at the moment as the companion app only populates with a Samsung device (my guess based on the lack of issues downloading it on my Note 5/S7E/Note 7 when paired with my Gear S2 Classic 3G). The widget looks mighty nice and handy on my S3, but with the V20 no companion app yet :/
Not sure if sideloading is possible for it to work. Read a thread where someone stated they did sideload and still no go. Personally, I couldn't even find it to try sideloading and test it so that's where I'm for now as well

Now I understand...
I noticed "uber" as a spelling mistake
So my last post is misplaced

Can someone with a Samsung device post the apk for the companion app
