Extract from JH3 Galaxy Tab Rom download from here. Tested work on Nexus one 2.2.1 w/ Cyanmod 6.1 ROM. only problem is that it force closes in landscape mode. I have been searching up and down for this for over half year since first heard of it earlier this year -- it is time to trade Nexus one to a bigger screen phone.
you would need to install all three apks, and only readinghub has launcher icon. from there, you can launch zinio or pressdisplay
for these who do not know yet zinio, it is the largest US e-magazine subscription provider. zinio for ios is one of the most downloaded non-game software. it has reading client for pc, mac, web flash. www.zinio.com
pressdisplay is similar to zinio only that it offers e-newspaper.
It didn't work on my Hero
is there hope for me?
thanks for the apks
tested it on my droid x, zinio couldn't display any picture
does it show pic on your N1?
and it also crashed on landscape mode.
haven't try the pressdisplaythough.
Same here
Same here. I installed on Galaxy tab and it wont work.!
Will it work on Nook Color?
working ok in my Nexus 1.
Has anyone tried using Zinio on NookColor
Has anyone tested this on Nook Color - I run the app and nothing happens.
Tested on Cruz Reader and get Force Close on ReadingHub every time. Is this 3g/4g dependent?

Same here on an Archos 70.
Works quite well on my HTC Desire.
Crashes (most times) if you switch from Portrait to Landscape during a session, but zooms, switches from full view to text mode and back and swipes through pages back and forth without problem.
Been using it for a couple of weeks now.

Updated my N1 to Girgerbread, and zinio stop worked, start to appears forced to close the apps.
Works reasonably well on my motor zoom. I've encountered intermittent force closes but not enough to be discouraging. It's great in portrait mode.
Are magazines working on your Xoom? I just get crashes when I try to open it up.
Stopped updating latest magazines and now won't reinstall properly on the HTC Desire
Hopefully a supported App is coming SOON!!!!!

working on my nook color with honeycomb
Its working on my Nook Color with 2.2. never worked for me on 2.1
works great on my galaxy s, many thanks!!
Works like a charm in my SGS.
I used the instructions on GearDiary.com (can't paste the link, I'm new )
Finally it's working fine. All what you need to do is turn off 3G/WiFi, then put your Transformer horizontally and try run Dead Space 4-5 times.
Here is my video:
@Edit:
Of course you must use qualcomm plugin in Chainfire3D.
whats the launcher etc your using looks a cool set up,also cool game
could you post launcher and add on ets your using like how the wall paper stays on when you enter apps
It's ADW EX, Extended Controls, Simple Text, Minimalistic Text, BobClockD3, StorageEther2
You can set up it in ADW.
I tried to install Dead space on my eee pad after reading this thread, game installed perfectly and runs smooth only issue is the graphics.. There is some thing wery wierd going on :S
Uploaded a vid;
Runing Prime 1.9
You must use qualcomm plugin in Chainfire3D
Thanks ! That fixed the "problem"
Now if somebody could figure out how to make it playable with a mouse and keyboard that would be great. Until then I think I'll stick to using it on my xperia play.
How did you get those folders for the short cuts on the launcher? Is that an ADW specific feature or can the stock launcher be configured for that?
No, in stock launcher you can't use your own icons for folders.
To make my own icons I'm using minimalistic text.
It seems, that this method is working only with dock. I tried to launch the game without it 14 times in a row - still in portrait. When I plugged the tablet in the dock - worked with first try in landscape.
I can run it in landscape without dock

Hmm, I installed Chainfire3D, and installed the qualcomm plugin, but I'm still getting the white, textureless world. Not sure which version you guys acquired, but the one I found comes with two different rars for data and two different apk's. I installed the normal apk, the other being a "fixed orientation", and have tried both data packs, which I extracted to both the /sdcard and /Removable/MicroSD. Halp!
Edit: Whoops. Had to activate the driver in Chainfire.
do i have to be rooted to use chainfire3D qualcomm plugin on my transformer?

Yes, Chainfire requires root.
Disregard.
if you set orientation control to landscape then potrait errors disappear
this has the effect of being able to install and try different apps for compatibility
I now have AirDroid (by setting landscape mode) working which really helps with installs and app exports etc
tested with Sony NSZ-GT1 honeycomb 3.1 offical update,note you may need to force close airdroid after first run
needed
orientation control(paid $1.49),AirDroid (free) both found in android market
this also allows other potrait only apps to work,note some still force close
other orientation apps may also work but untested
if you find a free one let me know
Thanks!!
bubble2: Huge help... now it works. Thanks so much!!

Anyone ever find any alternatives to Orientation control to set to landscape? I would like to install airdroid on my logitech revue.
*update* Answering my own question "Rotation Locker" is free and seems to work the same. It does have to be sideloaded (i downloaded it via dropbox) as market says it's incompatible but it works fine. I used it to install tapatalk, airdroid and mint.com.
I was seeing reports of google now crashing when launching with a swipe up from the home button. I am getting google now launching... in portrait... even while docked!
On my nexus, it launches in landscape when launched in landscape. Of course I am running a custom rom with a dpi hack... so not really the same.
C'mon google... so many apps get this right..

In my experience, the initial setup wizard for Google Now is portrait only. Once you say "Yes, I'm in" the app works in both modes.

So this morning I noticed that 8.0 is available for my device, single SIM XZ Premium. So I immediately upgraded.
After testing things out, I found out that there is no way to get notification dots and PiP to work.
As for the dots, the dot does appear on the App icon. However long pressing the icon doesn't bring up any notifications. I only get the standard delete and app info options. And for certain apps the quick launch functions, such as New Tab for Chrome etc. I can't get notification dots to work. I made sure I didn't disable it accidentally, as it took me a couple of hours to comprehend what the hell notification channels are, and what Notification dots are called in my language (hungarian).
But no, I have it enabled on a system level, and on an app by app level as well. For the apps I've tested. Messenger, Viber, some misc. apps I use. I've read that on Pixel phones, only the stock launcher supports the dots. Is it possible somehow the Xperia stock launcher didn't get support? Would be a major oversight, but I mean it is possible.
Also PiP doesn't work either. I checked, and it is enabled for all my apps that support it. Tried it with Netflix, Chrome playing full screen video, VLC player. For VLC you have to also enable an in app setting, but it still doesn't work with any of them. I can't try with YouTube since my country still doesn't have Red. Also I heard the Google Maps app is still rolling out pip in updates, so I didn't bother with that either.
Is this an issue for anyone else too, or am I missing something?
So far I'm enjoying Oreo, my phone became super fast, which shocked me, as I didn't expect this much of a speed difference. Animations look a lot smoother. And I'm really starting to dig this new notification channel thing. Really helps me customize all my different app notifications.
I have only been able to get pip working with google maps and chrome when playing a video, but I had to try it twice for chrome to actually do it, since then it has been working without issue though. For notifications I have the same thing where the quick options show up but not the notification, to view the notifications I still have to pull down the notification bar. I tried netflix and youtube but pip refused to work, it just kept going to the homescreen, I haven't tried vlc.
I will also say that I am enjoying Oreo and how much faster the phone is, it shocked me as well because it really is significantly snappier when jumping between apps or going back to the homescreen and opening something new. I have also actually started using the google assistant and some of the features it provides.
Just install internet beta from Samsung... And you have picture in picture...

Interesting. I've tried out Maps just now and it indeed does work. I don't know what's the problem with the other apps then...
Notification dots still don't work though. Also I haven't been able to use the instant apps either. The option never comes up. Wish shopping app supposedly has an instant app version, but no matter what, I can't use it in instant version, Only full install.
Also adaptive icons aren't that adaptive, as the stock Xperia launcher has no option to choose which icon variation I want to use (square, round, teardrop etc)
I also haven't been able to figure out how to use the Autofill framework, which would give me the same options for autofill within the OS as I get with Chrome on web forms.
These features seem to be just straight up missing, or I don't know where to find them.

How did you do that by the way? I'm trying, but I can't seem to do it. I almost got it once, but the PiP auto closed as soon as the transition animation finished. Tried it with Chrome and Chrome Beta.

This applies only to the browser scenario, and NoChromo is better. Also, biometric login not supported on non-samsung devices = useless.

I went to a gaming site that I knew had videos, once there I started playing a video in full screen and then double tapped the home button and it put the video in pip mode. Maybe it only works with certain websites or online video players? I will try a couple other sites and see if they all work or not.

Okay I managed to make it work with IGN videos in Chrome. So it does work after all... sort of. I think we can still agree this isn't working as intended, the fact we have to pry to make it work.

Do you not know what NoChromo is? I have no problem with speed,pip,ads, or scrolling.

Ya there seems to be something missing here, hopefully they will fix this within the next couple of weeks. I was really looking forward to using pip with video streaming apps.
Is there any way to use YouTube in PIP mode?
edit:
I can't move apps in menu wtf? When I press and hold app and move its go to home...

That's what we're saying, we can't get pip to work with youtube, netflix, or vlc. I really want to use pip mostly for youtube and netflix, so until I am able to do that I really don't care that much about this feature.
You can still move or delete apps in the menu, but you can now decide what press + hold on an app does when going to the settings of the app folder/launcher.
Update
I have downloaded Nova launcher and Lawnchair launchers, and neither seems to support the Oreo features, but instead it seems they have their own implementation of app shortcuts and badges.
So the problem has to be with the Xperia Home launcher.

Youtube currently blocked the workaround with the 'window' keycode. however there's OG Youtube - it's a modded youtube which has a recent youtube version as base. It has PiP, background playback and an option to download the video. Although the PiP is what i'm looking for. So far there are no downsides. You need to get XDA labs which has a pretty cool repo.
Try it here https://labs.xda-developers.com/store/app/com.google.android.ogyoutube

PIP works with VLC. Enable background playback in VLC settings . Only thing is it doesn't work like chrome where you just have to press the home button. In this case you have to select PIP mode(bottom left option in the attached screen shot) before you switch to any other app.
You need youtube red subscription for pip.
1. PiP works fine. Though you need a red subscription for Youtube in order for it to work with Youtube.
2. Instant apps work fine for me. There was this tetris game I was able to play without installing.
3. Autofill works fine too.
4. Long tapping the app icon doesn't seem to bring up notifications. Disappointing, since I was really looking forward to that feature.

There are plenty of features that are not here..... Another obvious example is the xperia dialer app. which is on the same 3.0.0 version as it was in August and looks nothing like it's advert.
It's more of a marketing thing. Look here! Look here! Shiny!Yet I believe most of those presented features will arrive at some point in time under Oreo and that's why they were presented - not as a done thing but more of a 'soon to arrive'. FYI notification dots are still not available on the beta release. Hopefully more updates will come.... sometime.... maybe spring next year? :laugh:
Didn't know PiP required YouTube red, useless, it's like YouTube is trying to destroy itself with everything they do recently.
It seems like we are in a full beta test, and would go on until oreo 8.1 would be released.... It's astonishing Google Pixel and Pixel 2 have a lot of problems and bugs with oreo update XD
