Need to be rooted.
Ok the new MS word, PowerPoint, and Excel are only for beta testers using a tablet. I'm going to show you how to run in on phones as well.
1. Sign up to be a beta tester here http://www.instant.ly/s/w7taW/nav?sessionId=Qyqg66BR53BOHZ7oL8Dn0wwd#p/186a0 Edit MS removed beta tester site don't know why but here is a new link to get office by Google plus
http://blogs.office.com/2014/11/26/get-office-android-preview-apps/
2. Wait for MS to send you an email to beta test.
3. Download market helper. Google the apk. This allows you to change your device so the play store will think your phone is let's say a tablet.
4. Try to download the office apps via the email MS sent you. It should work BUT....
5. When you open let's say Word or any of them it will be huge and won't fit your resolution not sure about quad hd but 1080p is to small. So download app settings from xposed. This allows you to change the dpi of any app you have on your phone. Change all the MS apps to your desired dpi. My opinion for 1080p is change it to 380 dpi.
And that is it. ENJOY!!
ALSO MS SAYS YOU CAN'T RUN IT WITH lollipop but I never tested so just fyi.

I went back to try using SlideScreen again but now I cannot view any facebook updates. It tries to display them (I assume a summary / single item) but then crashes. The full normal Facebook app is working fine.
Wouldn't mind going back to SlideScreen but this puts me off.
There's a bunch of stuff with this launcher that just doesn't work. Even if it works how it's supposed to, it's just not very intuitive. The concept is good, but the execution is horrible.
That's strange...it worked a year and a half ago. Maybe it needs an update?
Sent from my SGH-T959V using xda app-developers app
Of course it doesn't work...
First: It's a DEAD APP. Shut down by the developers. So no, there won't be any updates.
Second, stuff is not working because other apps (such as Facebook) and your OS (Slidescreen was built for 2.2 Froyo) don't work the same and don't have the correct access points for SS to talk to.
Third: Google also changed and closed off access to key parts of some apps (Gmail, calendar, etc), which complicates or closes off information. This is what ultimately shut down the project...the app couldn't get info from the stock apps to do its thing.
Was an amazing concept before it's time, and would make the Android phone a serious WIN for many people I know and work with (which it IS NOT now). Until Google and Android re-open access and permissions, or a development team can handle trying to rebuild it with other apps in mind (Maildroid, K-9, Kaiten for example), then I'm afraid it's a dream.

Yes, and I for one am glad the previous poster added the clarification details, regardless of how old the thread is, since I was looking for SlideScreen TODAY (having been a couple years since the last time I used it).
Not sure where people get the idea that just because a thread hasn't seen activity in a while means something useful/helpful can't be added to it.
And that is your opinion

Don't have my tablet in front of me but I just remember there being a login link in the top left once you open the app. I just signed in there and was able to download issues after that.

Hello everyone,
I'm a Google fan and i love to use every Google services, but i'm French, and in France they they take a while to come.
I found a tip and i want to share it with you, it's a way to allow the entire Play Store services on your device.
For this you will need 3 things :
- Be ROOT
- Droid VPN : you can find it on the Play strore or https://www.box.com/s/d5c013a16bc5e1940213
- Market Enabler : https://www.box.com/s/e1cf29986ce037f77d4e
Now Create a Droid VPN account (free) and login (If it does not go into the settings and choose "TCP" as the protocol)
Start Market Enabler then go to "Setting List" and choose an operator like T-MOBILE U.S.
Check the Google Play Store is not already open, and open it!
Once opened you should see the Play Store U.S. and as soon as it is launched you can cut Droid VPN clicking "disconnect" and enjoy the Play Store U.S.!
Warning: You must repeat steps 4 installation whenever you want to use the Play Store U.S. (once used its going very fast).
Edit : - Links for direct downloads of .apk from my Box account added tell me if its works please.
- For Google Play Music PC activation take a look here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=30733273#post30733273

Cool.
This should be handy if there's a US-exclusive App that I'd like to buy/download.
Wish we didn't have to do these things and it was as polished as Apple's iTunes AppStore.

u can use market enable alone but it will just give u the apps of US it will not unlock the services that are not available in your country.
Like you can see in the screenshots in uploaded in France the Music, Magazines and soap services are not available so in I use market enabler alone I can't acces theses services.
Your IP adress (changed by VPN) at the start of Play store says the services you can use then it check your brand (changed by market enabler) to know what content to display.
Hope I help you
I am using market enabler only with no root and it is working find
While I was on gingerbread I had to use vpn connection but after upgrading to ICS and using NoteCore kernel I don't need vpn anymore and just market enabler works perfectly, I can buy applications and so on
Edit: I didn't read the last post before writing my reply, I don't use the services at all that is why I didn't know about the need for vpn

This may sound dumb but with this market ennabler; will it only get the phone recognized as say U.S. by the store,or could you end up with roaming charges if the network sees it as a USA handset? Dumb????

No, you should not use roaming because you use your network to use the VPN. Does anyone have sympathy tell me how to embed images directly to the tutorial, not attachments?

I tried many things, I force stopped market at one time. I am using wifi which is on a US DNS if that could be a reason. I have tried another tip which was to turn off sync and also to turn off all location settings. Nothing has worked. I have given it up as a lost cause.

In Italy is the same, no goggle music for us... Unless you don't use a workaround like the one described in the op (I registered using Tor, but it's much the same).
Once you open the music account you can access it also from you pc or phone without using the vpn every time.

I can see how it can come across as spam as I have 0 post history but it isn't - it actually works. Give it ago, nothing to lose.
This is the best tool of its kind and it really works. Thanks OP for this wonderful thing. Even there is a binary for windows on the website.
This looks rather interesting.
However, as you point out in your own website "you shouldn’t trust random binaries on the Internet and thus the C# source code is available if you wish to build it your self", it would be great to know how this works.
The C# app is just a wrapper for your web app. It doesn't show how it's done, so it doesn't allay any fears other than running the windows app. You still don't know anything about the apk that's downloaded.
Great idea though.
Exactly.
However I've downloaded a few small files and they match with the ones I already had.
I won't share how it's done but the APK is directly downloaded from the Play Store as if you were browsing it your self. Feel free to do MD5/SHA1 checksum comparisons of the apk from the play store and of the apk downloaded via this tool.

If it could then the thread would have been deleted and the OP would be receiving a stern message about distributing warez on a developers' forum. So, no - it doesn't download paid apps for free, as it says in the 1st post.
