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

Yes I was able to activate by choosing Amazon Fire TV - though now I am encountering Video Error every so often which is annoying but meh better than nothing...

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??

Android TV Launcher APK

Now that Google has released the Android TV launcher onto the play store i'm curious to try and install this APK on my LG Google TV and see how it runs. Anyone know where I can find the APK?? Thanks.
http://www.androidpolice.com/2014/12/18/google-adds-android-tv-launcher-play-store/

Maybe soon on apkmirror.com!

yeah i would like to get this on my Minix Neo X7 TV box

Cant wait for this to get ported to other devices. Beelink R89 please!

Bump...
Can someone who is rooted download the APK and upload please??

https://www.dropbox.com/s/ajrsbq04s83te96/LeanbackLauncher.apk
This wasn't uploaded by me, but somebody posted the APK
Doesn't seem to work on my CM11 phone, haven't had the chance to try it on my Amlogic MXIII TV box yet.

It will not work with otner devices exept nexus box and i also think that it is too pity that it works only with some devices, i think they are mistaken with this decision.
I use Handy Smart TV Launcher (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.handysmart.android.launcher&hl=en)with its’ remote control app for my tv box and i ‘m sure that it will be the main rival for this new launcher from Google. Morover it works with a lot of mobile devices and tv-boxes and have intuitive remote control app.

What console exactly? Can you list your specs, We don't test any sonsoles yet as our apps optimized for tv-boxes. We cannot guarantee that apps will work appropriate on all devices.

Kinda surprised that nobody has been successful in hacking this to work on regular old android builds. Considering the Google play launcher from lollipop was ported to older versions of android before the play store version was updated I'd think it would be technically possible at least... Too bad I don't have the knowledge to do it myself.

That is the name of the console. Xtreamer Multi-console. You can check the info here http://www.xtreamer.net/MultiConsole/

Is it possible to make it work on Xiaomi Mi Box Pro?

hmm
I have it / installed running (laidbacklauncher) whatever that drop box apk was.. it installs.. and runs.. but if you click the voice seach, it crashes, and it looks like its constantly loading (recommendations) but it deffinately loaded.
(Note 2 I317m - model phone)
But i changed a setting in the system via build.prop editor changing the brand of my device to nexus where it before was T0lte (custom firmware for note 2)
i never attempted to install it prior so i dont know if it will load or not. going to see if the play store detects my phone as a nexus and allows the apk download.. (fingers crossed)

DSTV Now APK MOD

Good day
Is there anyone out there that can mod the DSTV Now apk found on the google play store for us? currently the DSTV Now apk requires a device that is not rooted and that is google certified.
An older version of the apk was working on my A95X Pro TV Box up until recently, but DSTV have obviously made changes to block that.
If there is anyone that can help, it will be much appreciated!
Thanks :good:

[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

This is great! Tested with v3.0.259 and it works

Hi All,
I found the solution. Just go ahead and use an old apk from say Jan 2019.
I used teh following site to get the old apk and it's working for me.

Tried, it doesn't work on modern phone (Android 11, MIUI 12) but it does work on an old phone (Android 6, MIUI 10). What could be the reason for this?

Question Netflix isn’t compatible with my device

Hey guys,
so i did a downgrade from C.05 to C.04 (EU) with BL and now after installing everything, Netflix is the only one needed to update in Play Store but is unable to. Tried to turn it off since it was a pre-installed app and it still was shown in PS. I even used DRM app to check my Widevine, whether that’s the problem but it’s L1 (so that should not be it imo). I’m not using Netflix these days, but it’s so that i don’t have to bother in the future if I’d want to watch. And I know I can probably find some file on the internet and install it, but it’s annoying to see it in PS. Anyone knows how to fix it?
Thanks.
EDIT: Realised i needed a Google Play Certificate, which i didn’t have and i just relocked the bootloader and everything’s fine now

Hi, try to flash a magisk module called universal safetynet fix (kdragon) and if it doesn't work, you need to hide something like google play services with the new zygisk magisk hide settings, but I don't remember what exactly. There are plenty of videos explaining how to get the play protect certification just search on google. Let me know if this helped

on my device also no streaming app is working (europe) rom disney plus says error 39 root and hide works i tried but now i am on stock locked.
