HBO GO on Nexus Player (APK) & Testing.

Hi Guys,
Recently HBO GO was released for Fire TV (Source:http://phx.corporate-ir.net/phoenix.zhtml?c=176060&p=RssLanding&cat=news&id=1999513), this version should have support for various remotes and thus if anyone could pull the APK I would very grateful along with many other HBO Watchers. You probably have to be rooted to obtain the APK so keep this in mind.
EDIT: APK has been pulled - download here- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=57527277&postcount=3
Thanks Guys,
Keep up the Good Stuff
CURRENT STATUS: APP Installs - Navigation works - Video fails to Load or Loads Endlessly

I managed to get a few videos started but yer now it seems they all cut off straight away - Do you reckon its to do with device activation?
- Also it is so laggy and slow is this the same on Fire TV? (Like in the UI - maybe missing some of the required libs to run properly)
EDIT: It always plays the intro "It's HBO GO" with Rating, however never successfully retrieves content I guess there is some sort of device handshake if not maybe the app checks the build of the device to see if it matchs or maybe some framework is missing; In any case now we have the app, we can experiment to find a solution.

How did you add it to your library? It won't let me

I managed to get it to work using the HBO Go 2.8.02 APK extracted from my Nexus 7. I disabled USB Debugging on my rooted NP running LP 5.1 and videos play just fine. Only during fast forwarding and rewinding do I get a little buffering, that's expected.

I'm using 2.7.06 and it works great. Just download and old version and 6iu should be good.

Can you please upload the apk??

Unable to upgrade YouTube / Google TV on JVC Smart TV

Hi All, really new to this, not even sure if this is the right place to ask the question...
I have an issue with a JVC smart TV, android 4.4 and the YouTube app that's on there. Apparently YouTube won't be supporting TV apps and I have to upgrade this app via GoogleTV as per this link... [Edit: not allowed to post links?]
But there is an issue. When I upgrade via the app store, I get an issue saying something like "Packet Data Unpack Error, please uninstall the previous version and install this app again". However, since youtube was on the device when I bought it, I can't uninstall this app. Apparently I don't have the right permissions.
Any suggestions?

Can you do a factory reset for you android TV if so do it but back up your data first

Yes, I can. But the factory reset will only get back to the unsupported version of YouTube, so I'm back where I started.

I have 1st generation Sony Google TV and I have the same issue. Youtube doesnt work anymore, and using Chrome is like hitting your head with an hammer, it crashes 15 times in 15 minutes. I was hoping XDA has some sharp minds who could help us out.
Thank you

[APP] Alarmpad : how to get it ?

Hi,
Are you guys able to access this application on google play store ?
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mindmeapp.alarmpadpro
Whether I try with proxies or my own IP (Belgium), I always end up with a message from Google saying that the app is not available in my country.
I know that the developer stopped this project last year, but I am surprised not to be able to get it anywhere.
I also tried to download the apk for version 1.9 from various websites (free or pro version), and Windows Defender always reject the file stating that it's infected by a Trojan, so I start to wonder if this is a false positive or if Google detected the same and prevents the app from being accessible on the store or so ?
It's the first time that I am facing this situation, and I am very surprised and frustrated not to be able to buy this app which looks fantastic.
Let me know if you are facing the same problem or if you have a working APK backup
Thanks !

For those who are in the same situation and who may be looking for AlarmPad FREE, here is the APK of version 1.9.3 (I believe it's the last).
I am still looking for a way to buy the PRO version, and for now the only solution seems to be in the USA :/

I'm in the USA, and can't find this app in play store.

Thank you for the information Henry, then I have no clue where this app is available nowadays (it looks like it was widely available in the past).
Note that it appears that my previous apk downloads which were detected by Windows Defender as trojan were false positive since the same file does not trigger the warning anymore.
Too bad I can't simply by the pro version

Thanks for the links Stefano
Unfortunately even when installing the pro version from your post with the mindme pro key, it does not detect it as "PRO" (features are restricted as in FREE version).
I have the same behavior with this PRO apk which is the latest version I found.
I tried to contact the developer to know why his app is not available from the PlayStore anymore, but I did not received any answer so far :/

Well it seems you have to find a new app ... :/

I'm in the UK (used to live in the USA) and I couldn't visit the alarmpro page, but I could visit here and download the app to register it.

Old thread but I have the pro version. Don't know how the powers-that-be would feel about me sharing the apk. The developer has stopped providing support for this app and the backup service (which is why I bought it) doesn't work anymore.

Hello ParrotSquawk,
Thank you very much for the offer Actually I posted the pro apk here some time ago thinking it would not be a problem since there was no way to buy it anymore and development stopped as well, but the moderators didn't appreciate that...
For info even with the pro apk you cannot access the pro features, it somehow checks on google play if you bought it and locks it to free version.
I gave up on alarmpad for that reason. I wanted to use it because of its tasker integration, but ended up using ClockTask plugin. Not exactly the same thing but also very well integrated with tasker.
Cheers !

I don't know how much help this is, I was worried that I would need to find an alternative when i upgraded my 3½ year old S7 Edge to my Note 10 +.
Thankfully, despite being no longer available, it transferred over through SmartSwitch and is working fine except for the sign in/backup feature.
That said, does anyone else know of any other app that works like AlarmPad? It is a must for me as I'm on shift work and EVERY duty is different.

Old thread..but...
My biggest issue with this app currently is that the data can't be backed up anymore. If I reset my phone I have to create all the alarms and hashtags again. (My phone does not have root available).
If someone could recode it to backup and restore using an SD card ... That would be great.

[MOD] Amazon Prime Apk [Black Screen Fix]

After learning through a lot of smali guides on XDA , I finally managed to make my own Amazon Prime Mod
For many of us that don't have ChromeCast or any other external device to Cast to the Television or any other casting device , here comes a solution for the annoying Black Screen (Black Screen where only audio plays no video)
The black screen is a protection for the DRM content being played by Amazon and I managed to remove it
Features:-
Enabled Screen Mirroring (No need of chromecast or any screencast device)
You can find the apks here
amazon_prime_3.0.268.28447.apk
amazon_prime_3.0.269.96447.apk
Folder Link
Prime_Patched
I will keep updating the app with the PlayStore apk updates
Here you can find a sample screenshot
Sample.img
Please note that the Amazon Shopping App won't run together with this app.Uninstall that before using this mod
(I am still trying to figure out the reason though)

Reserved just in case

error install in xiaomi 9t pro miui 11.0.6 stable.
PD: Uninstall shop amazon xD, now install ok and work great!!, thank you

I get "App not installed" message regardless which apk I install. (Moto g power, rooted with magisk)

Black screen issue

Hi, Thanks for the mod apks. I've not tried them yet. Funny thing is, prime works in Marshmallow without mod or virtual exposed, but not in higher android upgrades. But other apps like netflix don't work at all.
I just wanted to know if you could help us in telling what to mod in the apk, so I can try it in Other apps.

That Black Screen is restrictions for DRM content
Mostly all of that started after Marshmallow, therefore no issue to Android versions below that (ofcourse xD)
What I modded in this app was a flag which told a certain method if the content was DRM or not
For example if you take Prime certain sections can be cast to the screen and certain sections cannot
That flag determines it
So before you reverse engineer , you must know how to engineer
The key to engineering such a feature is Google
https://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/Display#FLAG_SECURE
Now to reverse this
I first found out all occurences of FLAG SECURE throughout the app ( Don't ask me how, if you don't know you need to read all the other smail guides all around. it's the basics) and then a little knowledge of smali helped me disable it
HONESTLY, It's time to get a New TV with Android

Thanks

thanks a lot.. you saved the day for me,..

Since this thread is receiving a good response and huge thanks to a guy called Joshua (who just PMed) me with the fix to work both Prime and Amazon shopping together, I'll post the latest apk for Prime with the black screen stuff removed
And also if possible I'll try to do it with Netflix too
Cheers to you guys!

Will you still post the latest apk?
I can't install your files from last april (can't uninstall the other Amazon apps, only deactivating since they are preinstalled as bloatware - but that won't help on my XZ2 device)
So at the moment I use an older device for streaming where your apk works. However, installation of the other Amazon apps like Amazon Photos fails...
So your updated apk will be greatly appreciated

I actually have a solution that worked for me that you can do yourself!
I cloned the official latest VS of prime using app cloner arm, and selected options : redirect external storage, allow screenshots, and disable screen mirroring. Despite what you would think, with those options enabled I am actually able to screen mirror through my phones video out (I haven't tried wireless mirroring but as nothing else was working for my video out I presume it will work as well)
Good luck and let me know if it works for you!
So after not using It for an hour or so, when opening the cloned app again I got a sync error.

Restart on reinstall 2 golden rules

Thanks for the App Cloner suggestion
I tried and also got the sync error after a while: could_not_create_sync_account.
Maybe there are some suitable options within AppCloner preventing this error?
However, clearing cache/data makes the app starting again.
So this is the best solution we have right now, unless someone provides new modded apk's...

Anyone have a solution for: could_not_create_sync_account????. whenever I clear data downloaded videos disappear

That is exactly the problem we are currently discussing here.
So no, no solution yet!
At least until someday updated apk files are being distributed, as teasered in post #10...

Hey guys! I had the same issue with the prime video black screen and I was looking for a solution. Apparently I found the fix, just look and install the version 3.0.258.30941 or any version before december 2019( I tested it and it's working fine). Obviously never update the app

Hi All,
I found the solution. Just go ahead and use an old apk from say Jan 2019.

I managed to get it working by changing the region with the Service Remote to USA. However when trying to link the Google Nest Mini to the TV I got an error saying that LG is not available in my current location. So, even if the Google Assistant is working, I have region restrictions that will not allow me to use the TV + Google Nest as I would’ve wanted.
