Thanks man. Look pretty slick!

nice idea, but as far as I understand it duplicates functionality of magnet. More interesting would be "back button" because even in cardboard demo application, when you are looking at exhibit, there is no way to go back and choose other application.

Yeah that's a feature not implemented with cardboard yet.
It really depends on app developers to allow you to back out of there apps.
With VR it makes it even trickier to manage menus.

New update just posted to google play,
Bug fixes and scenery improvements.

Nifty little helper, a back functionality like "rocking your head back hard" or something less painful would be great

I could implement this but am afraid it would interfere with other apps.
Thanks for the suggestion, I am definitely thinking of a way to back out of the current app.

Can confirm that the promo code works now. Thanks for the $1.50 free app!

No luck for me yet though, looks like the first 100 is already over.

That's odd, as of my previous post, the code count was at 59.

OK, here they are all 100 available promo codes

Fresh 2.0 - Protected App .apk Files (NO WAREZ)

The purpose of this thread is for people to share their protected .apks of apps that cannot be found FOR FREE in the Fresh 2.0 Android Market. Some free apps like Google Goggles are copy protected, so they will not appear. Please keep your posts simple--post a request, share an app, or provide feedback on posted apps. I will try to keep the first post updated with all of the .apks!

@TheBiles
Great idea, but maybe opening a 4shared account and giving a link in the first post is a better way to handle it. It would be great if you could maintain it, and have those fulfilling the requests mail you a copy of the apk(s) for inclusion.
Use this thread as a request thread. That way, if anyone want's to cause a fuss, xda has no involvement, and you can be the final judge on what you think is "free" enough to place in your repository. As it stands now, If I were to upload a paid application in the thread, it appears as if you and xda condone it.
P.S. - I'd pull SprintTV and Nav. Posting them in a Sprint Hero specific ROM is one thing, but this way you're making them available to anyone on any carrier with any phone.

Thanks for the advice. I will just upload all of the files to my own web host tomorrow morning and get this going as a request thread, but for the night at least I need some rest. Keep the requests coming, and attach any "protected" apps that you have, and I will download them myself and re-upload them.

Thanks, tried and works fine in Spain. Just to say, you cannot move the pda to your eyes angle because doing that the camera points out of the road so the path is not drawn accurately. A good improvement would be the possibility to move that drawing to a particular angle. Otherwise you have to place the holder just in front of you.
Pressing in settings/about shows version 0 trial, I don't know if there is the initial release or is the last one.
I hope I hope this will work on the Touch Pro 2 once they get gps fulling working properly!!

we apologize for the hick up but this is what the testing phase is all about - thank you for all your valuable feedback already.
We hope to get more feedback from you once you have done your driving around
if you are a beta tester and you'll get the message "authentification failed", try it again later
currently there are only few slots for beta testers.

This is not the first Augmented Reality Navigation. There is a really nice free one that is better on the android market and has been there for a long time called AugSatNav. AugSatNav is a very well developed and more responsive than this one. Check before you claim its the first.

I got it, messed around with it at work (sitting outside) and it looked amazing. Then went to use it at the end of the day on my drive home (just to test it out) and it never successfully routed me by the time I got home so I've yet to have a "real world experience" with it, but I assume the servers were just getting hammered or something (connects to server to route, re-route, etc).
Gonna keep messing with it tho because it seems pretty impressive for a beta.
Edit: and before people ask, I don't think sharing the apk is a good idea. It definitely does an online authentication check every time you run it.

hahah.
Well all of a sudden during the authentication step mine is telling me there is an update available and says update or no thanks. If i click update it takes me to the market with a search for the publisher which doesn't return wikitude drive (nor is it available anymore if i search for it) and if i click don't update, it says auth failed and doesn't let me do anything.
Maybe a glitch? Maybe they revoked the beta?
Edit: Just found this on their website.
May 21, 2010 in News
Fellow testers,
Thank you for participating in our Wikitude Beta Test phase and also thank you for the great feedback!
** Currently Wikitude Drive does not work because the routing server is disabled **
Noooooo!
I guess I'll just run the Camera app with the Navigation in the Background for now.
is it full? I cannot see it on the market, only the browser....

I don't think it's a good idea. Unless someone is willing to hack it to get around the activation step, it is definitely doing an online check against their servers every time you use the app. Color me paranoid, but I suspect they are keeping a close eye on the activation server
There have been cases of closed beta's being pulled before for people sharing APK files, and I have a feeling it would not take long to shut this down if people start doing that.

Both of these were first 2 things I noticed/thought of when playing around with this app. Another thing, tho probably a lot more complex, would be options to tweak the route/routing algorithm. IE, avoid toll roads, stay on highway, avoid highways. If feasible, this would be a great enhancement!
Congrats on creating such a unique and useful app!
quick question regarding this app, is it using gps signal or does it require 3g/2g data?
jblazea50 said:

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
It requires GPS Signal to get your current position.
The internet connection e.g 3G/2G/HSDPA/WLAN... is used to calculate the route.
If you leave the route during navigation, the route will be recalculated. this also uses the internet connection.
A 100km long stretch takes about 50kb traffic.
I'm also a little concerned about the amount of data used.
As shown in the video, it is also able to use a 3D-map (used during night ect), is this map downloaded dynamically, or do you purchase a certain map (like western Europe)?
If possible I would like to buy a map once and for all, in order to save on data.

First off, if you were to keep up with that app you would know that guy abandoned it. Also he did not develop it at all. He used appyet just like I did, hence why I said "put together" I never said I developed that app ever. The icon is defiantly different, I am still looking for a new one but got this one for now due to the first one not displaying correctly for the notifications. I like Flowly a lot, but seeing that it would no longer be updated I decided to make one like it and keep it updated when appyet updated the code, and keep it current with all the new feeds. Also this is temporary while I work on my own that I actually developed, once that is done it will replace this one.
If flowly is abandoned and grilledbacon picked up where it was left off, I'm all for it. Good stuff, grilledbacon.
Thanks been looking for a replacement for blinkfeed now I can run nova prime again.
Thanks guys! Working on getting it on the Play Store should be soon now!
Thanks for carrying on the work of the flowly developer. Will there be ability to star articles? The ability to customize sources? Great work so far. Thanks again!

Question for anyone that is using that app, if you have used the Rootz Wiki Forum you notice it takes you to the webpage because they do not have the TapaTalk plugin. Do you like that it uses the in-app browser or would you rather it open your default browser and use that instead?? Would love to hear you thoughts!
Thanks!

I would prefer that it open in my default browser dude. So that I can carry on reading articles in your app after the links have been opened in the browser. This way I can read on my browser later.
I really like the idea, good job. However, I'll wait till you put it on the Play Store to receive the updates immediately without having to visit this thread again and download the new APK. Another thing, can you please add Ardroid.com to the app (and yes, that's an "R", not an "N")? It is an Arabic news site.
Thank You, and keep up the good work!
I just looked in the Play Store and there's already a TechTalk... That might be a bit of a problem...
I'd actually like to be able to use both an in-app browser AND my default browser. BUT if I had to only have it one way, I definitely want to use my default browser. Also in regard to Flowly, which I still use religiously, thanks for picking up the ball after it's abandonment.

I have noticed that, too. But I think he can maybe change the name?
Just used the app for an hour. Ignore my earlier comments about needing an external browser. The current implementation is perfect.
However, I would still like the ability to delete some sources. Great work so far! Thanks Dev!
Awesome app, very nice to have all the news in one place, but the app icon is really plain. Maybe some material flare would be nice. I mean no offense by that. You did a great job getting it all into one app.

I'd assume so. But since I found this app because of a post in the XDA Portal I'd probably suggest changing the name before it becomes too widely known. Better to rename with 50 users than with 5000 users...
Nice to have all the news in one place...

So all you did was rename an awesome app like flowly and pawned it off as your own. Really lame dude. You weren't even original enough to change the icon you just rounded the corners

You could at least give credit to the original developer of the app in the OP.

[MOD] Spotify tablet mode

Good evening!
If you're reading this, then you for sure know what Spotify is. We all love listening to music and, ugh, that's the synonym of Spotify!
Unfortunately, this work could be used for two fully opposite reasons, one of which is against the XDA rules, so I had no other choice but to close this thread (and remove links). I hope you understand me and sorry for the inconvenience.
Feel free to read the history below. It was a fun ride!
Time ago, the app landed on our lovely Android platform for both tablets and phones and honestly who wasn't excited?
Soon after, forced shuffle mode and limited number of skips were also introduced and I agree that there must be a reason to purchase Premium after all. Luckily, this restriction was not enabled on tablets, but a problem that appears is that far from all tablets are detected as ones - mainly the "smaller" ones. This [bug/miss-code] activates the restriction on your tablet, and as a fix was needed from either side, here was my solution.
This mod was created for all those "small tablets" that are incorrectly recognized so that you can use Spotify the way it was meant to be used.

Regarding Facebook log in issue:
The signature/private hash (or not) of this app was not matching the original one Spotify had registered on Facebook. Absolutely understandable since this was a modified version.
As suggested by Romain12345 (thank you!), can you log in with your Facebook credentials instead of clicking on the "Log in with Facebook" button.

MEGA is never down, it only needs the app for android if you want to download from phone. That's the reason I personally won't mirror.
About installing, you need to have "Unknown sources" enabled in your Security settings. Then just open the APK and install it as normal. If you still can't figure it out check YouTube for thousands of tutorials.
Server is down

I've downloaded the apk for mega, and also tried to access the website. But it refuses to open the website or allow me to login to the app. Hence the servers are actually down. Op if possible can u post it on a different cloud?. Thank you for this amazingly brilliant apk!

Op u can as well check again, it's no longer a news that mega is down for now. You see people testifying. You can check up urself
@ViRb3 It doesn't work on gingerbread android again...
I think it's a problem of apk version because on Google play it was written that the version varies with device.
So please If you give me your email, I'll send the last apk version of spotify compatible with gingerbread to you.

OP I could possibly kiss you all day and it wouldn't be enough. Worked like a charm.
Also the server seemed to be down only in parts around the world. So anyone being unable to connect simply use a VPN. Works perfectly with a VPN.
Though it is currently up again.
Op finally I got it downloaded. Thanks so much but I have a question. Is it possible for me to download for offline for free with this mod?

Absolutely not. I am not "hacking" Spotify and making it Premium-free and that will never be my aim. I am just making it possible to run in tablet mode on smaller tables.
Works like a charm, thank you
Logged-in with facebook, why does the op state it's not working
