XBMC (full, NOT remote) apk

A bit buggy but it works really well. I had issues with opening and closing it but navigating and playing media worked great especially off my UPnP servers
http://dl.miniand.com/miniand/xbmc-android/xbmcapp-armeabi-v7a-debug-20120714.apk

this apk worked for me, while the others did not seem to be able to start correctly on my phone (droid bionic)

Very slow on smb. Video choppy. Ui has some prolems.

Had the same problem. Uninstalled and reinstalled a couple of times, and then i got the sound working, but the max volume is really low.

Smooth, steady at 59 fps.
Sound on video is terrible on local video files
Sound on YouTube is fine.

great app but i can't stream and i dont know how to... it keeps asking for username and password in network sharing (in windows i turned that off)

I feel dumb..I cant figure out how to login or anything..Any login instructions anywhere?

What are you trying to log into? You don't need to log into anything as long as it isn't a video service or something, or if you're trying to use DLNA.

Ney, this is the full version of XBox Media Center (XBMC) that you run on your phone. You can play movies and tv shows directly on your phone by streaming movies/shows from other services directly from the app with some plugins, or you can play the local files on your phone.
But the main use for this app is to connect your device to a TV with MHL and use it like you do on your computer.
If you haven't used XBMC on your computer before, i recommend you download it and try it out before you use this version. It's much harder to learn it on a 5.3" screen

Nexus 5 Phone Search

I have noticed that the Phone Search options under the Google Now settings are severely limited on the Nexus 5. On my Nexus 4 and Nexus 7 I can set IMDB and Wikipedia among others to be searchable from the search box. All the options are gone now. You can't even launch maps or music. What's going on?

I'm seeing this problem on my Nexus 5 too. Really surprised to see Google release a device/software upgrade with such a core functionality missing.

I'm having a hard time believing that more people aren't talking about this issue.
Sent from my Nexus 5 using xda app-developers app

Having the same issue, could barely find any threads talking about this problem. Have you guys managed to find a fix? I have the exact same settings under phone search as you, just contacts, app names, and Play books and movies.

I have been looking all over and haven't found any info.
Sent from my Nexus 5 using xda app-developers app

I'm surprised by this as well! Maybe we just have to wait for the various apps to update for 4.4 to get recognized in the list?
On a related note, and I'm sure of the answer already, but, are you guys able to use the "OK, Google... Play [insert music]" command? It obviously doesn't here and I'm a bit disappointed... It didn't work on my old phone for a reason I wasn't able to figure out (perhaps a Nexus S issue or me being in Canada) and I was hoping it would work now...
Oh well...

There's a new API for this sort of functionality in Kit Kat. That's probably why. Google will be allowing developers to integrate their apps more seamlessly with Google Now. Rumor is an update to Google Search will be coming this week that will have the first bits of this functionality (limited only to certain developers who were given early access), but will expand soon after.
Basically, before, the integration was little more than speech-to-text for those apps, a very scrappy integration. This will be far more integrated into Google Now, with apps allowed to show cards and such.
Edit: Note that playing music is still possible however. Make sure you have the music apps you want installed first. Then, ask google to play something. A card will pop up, and it'll initially say "Google Play Store", but there's an option in the lower left corner to change that to any music app available. Basically it works the same as before, but instead of a pop-up window asking you, it's now an option below the card.

Thanks, that's good to know it's simply an API issue and we just need to wait for developers to update their app.
As for using the command "Play" or "Listen to" and "What's this song?" in Google Now, it appears it is still being blocked for us Canadians for now. I assume this restriction will be lifted once Google Play Music service is introduced in Canada. I know "Play" and "Listen to" used to work in the earlier builds but became blocked with one of the Google Now updates during the summer.

Just update to Google search 3.1.8, but the problem is stille, can't search music, book, or any other third party apps.

Anyone having trouble playing videos?

For me the built-in YouTube player in apps (reddit sync, etc.) doesn't play anything. Also tried MX player and it plays for couple of seconds before crashing.

Both of these are known problems and have been since release. Apparently you can tweak settings to get MX Player to work pretty well but you can't play videos in the Google Play Store, Reddit Sync, Tapatalk or any other app that embeds YouTube videos.

Has there been any response from nvidia?
Sent from my SHIELD Tablet using Tapatalk

They acknowledged on the Nvidia forums a couple of weeks ago that they have the problem as well but haven't said if or when it will be fixed.

Important to fix. Have many problems playing Videos in several Apps.

FYI mx player has been updated for k1 HW+ support.

Google store video error
Hi all, this is my first post .
I had the same issues , there I 2 things to check /do that fixed it for me.
1. Check you host file in the /etc/ folder , make sure that there is a "#" at the beginning of the 2nd line , I had about 10items in my host file , I deleted all apart from the first 2 lines ( if you don't know what you doing , do not delete anything just add the #)
2. Uninstall the YouTube app upgrade .
Both have worked for me .
Also try stoping auto sync and backup .
Sign out and back into google .

Chromecast screen casting

I don't seem to have the ability to cast my screen to the chromecast.... Went to the app on my new edge and no longer have the option... Anyone with a chromecast and an edge have it?? Kinda sucks.. Had it on my note 3..

Sorry, I didn't realize that you wanted to broadcast the screen. I send movies and stuff to the screen from the chrome browser or apps that show movies.

It's not currently supported. search for mirrorenabler.

Thanks I will check that out.

I'm having the same issue on my AT&T Note Edge. It is not on the list of supported Chromecast screen mirroring phones but it seems as though it should work regardless. Unfortunately MirrorEnabler requires root and I dont think the AT&T Note Edge has been rooted yet.

I tried this today. Not working. It just causes Cc to show black screen.

Chromecast is working great on my Sprint Edge, no problems at all.

I have CC and it works fine on my rooted edge for TMO

AT&T Note Edge. Been using it since day 1 . Never had an issue with it. I downloaded the Chromecast app and was working.

I wanted to check and see if everyone is talking about the same thing. Screen casting is not standard issue on the Chromecast yet, so can those of you who say you have it please confirm that you are able to cast ANYTHING you see on your phone to your TV? I don't have this function with my chromecast, and I never have on any of my devices

As I type this, it is being casted to my tv...I'm on tmo note edge, nk3 rooted.
Until you att folk get some sort of safestrap or another towelroot, not much can be done. Unless Google chooses to support it, but it's unlikely considering the limited amount there are.

TinyWeb - Web Browser

Hey all!
So today I found this app which should let browse the web. The TinyWeb - which is the name - is nicely written and intuitive application with english menu and set of bookmarks from the beginning. Also it is a standalone app.

Seems awesome? Yes. BUT there is this little problem - it cannot access network for me. I tried using Gear S2 classic with connection to the phone (LTE) and without phone (Gear's WiFi). But it doesn't work.
Does it work for You?
I AM NOT THE AUTHOR OF THE APP NOR ADVERTISING IT

You have to disable bluetooth connection with wifi connection on. Works fine once you do that.

It works for me, but only with a direct Wifi connection (not trough the phone).

Same here. Seems like this may be related to that of below. Maybe Gear Manager for generic Android (not samsung) is missing the bluetooth / host-wifi bridge as there is no setting for it on my Xperia.
stackoverflow.com/questions/33849806/tizen-standalone-wearable-app-with-internet-access

I get an error when trying to install.
W0:WO:-1005

Where do I find this? I don't see it in the play store.

@Firehead thanks for the tip! It does work now, cool
@mills23 it is in the Samsung's shop for Gear S2. Maybe not available for Your region or something.

I am using gear s2
And in it also tinyweb is not working on both Bluetooth and WiFi

Seems to only work with wifi on however I don't need to disable bluetooth but would be better if it did work via bluetooth hopefully in a future update. Also was a pain to log into Facebook, most of the time the keyboard popped up but then disappeared after like a second and the times it did stay up I'd type my email (which isn't a quick thing to do on the S2 keyboard) to find it didn't actually enter anything in the text box. Though finally did get myself logged in but then when I went to go on it later it didn't keep me logged in so still a few issues.
Also would like if when zoomed in I could pan right the way to the corners of the webpage.

It works on s2 gear 3g in 3g mode. I'm impressed with this app considering the limitations of the tiny circular screen.
Props to the dev!

I installed it on my gear and then someone try to login to my emails account and etc.. Maybe by brute force. I changed my password everywhere for sure. So be carefulle after instalation of this app.

Could someone made a video showing TinyWeb in action for other users please .

It works now with the BT version, connection, so no need to switch to wifi only.
Was able to read the news and go on facebook. No brute force so far.
TinyWeb is no longer in the app store, is it unsafe to use then?

Is there any place/way to get a copy of tinyweb?

If someone explain me how to, i can extract the app.
Bye
