Hello xdadevelopers,
I've been having a heck of a time accessing the market to get U.S. apps that I'm otherwise entitled to owning. Being outside the country doesn't allow me to download these.
I then came across:
http://www.abtevrythng.com/2010/10/how-to-download-android-apps-which-are.html
As you can read from the instructions, it states that you must hand over your Google username and password.
Humm.... Isn't that exactly what one should not do????
I have not used AppBrain myself, but it is a huge and very popular portal.
I doubt it will misuse your google credentials and i probably would have heard of something like that happening.
But i can understand your worries and it is good to ask before just entering ones passwords and account into random sites.
Lets wait for another answer, maybe from someone using appbrain, as i don't plan on signing up there .
try VPN,pls.
I don't use appbrain myself, but I know people who do. Very good app, from what I've heard.

I would also love this... I think the ball is in googles court on this one and I'm very sad about it.. Does hangouts offer the option for client support? If not then we will have to wait for an official release from Google which will probably never happen

Whenever I download Android Wear, I no longer get notifications for Hangouts at all. Using a Galaxy S6 Edge+
I will take a look at it. Google does not open api for it, so there won't be standalone app. Is it enough if you can send messages to your friends? And no, I'm not talking about replying to a notification. You can send new message when you want to

With 3G it doesn't really feel like you're tethered. What is a tease though is you know your watch is capable of acquiring all the messages for both hangouts and Whatsapp bc if you hit "View more" it downloads the entire conversation. If only you could cache that and re-open it at a later time...even that would be a huge improvement. If only I had more time to tinker :crying:

Agreed, it seems like they engineered a solution but didn't think it necessary to provide it as a feature.
Perhaps our resident S2 developer tipztv could use this to hack a solution for standalone hangouts and whatsapp too!
The latest wrinkle in this ongoing problem is ads with soundtracks! They just start going off when I'm on my phone, and if I'm in public they can be really annoying to those around me! I've read the only thread on the subject posted last year where someone suggested an ap call configAPK be found and removed. I did that but I'm stilling ads. Someone suggested hit the Recent key on the navigator in order to find the source of the ad, like what app put it out, but I didn't understand the instruction. Some members even blamed Samsung for doing the, but how would their doing this not simply drive everyone to consider an Apple phone?

Thanks so much. This will keep me busy for a while!
It's odd that this is going on. Apps are hijacking our phones and getting away with it! Actually, I'm surprised advertisers are doing this. Do they really think people will read their ads, or just get get pissed and boycott!? Half the time I don't even know who the advertiser is because my kneejerk response is instants "delete"!

Just in reference to the recent apps method you mentioned it's just another way to get into app settings through settings - apps.

I'm still working on the process in the link.
Today I hit the Recent button after a video ad and found BeiTaPlug. I planed to Google it but saw your response and had to check it. Later I saw Smart Scan there, which I know i suspicious, by virtue of having a Scan prefix. I can find the latter but not the former. It appears to be a plug in but where would I find plugins?
I'm sure I'm not alone in thinking chat bubbles kind of... Suck. They're buggy, they disappear at random, they don't work properly, etc.
So I'm hoping, through rooting or something like that, there's a way to disable bubbles entirely to make Facebook Messenger think the device doesn't support them. I know for a fact that on a Note 20 Ultra running 11, you can completely disable bubbles and Messenger goes back to using chatheads - but disabling them on my Pixel 3a (Android 11) just prevents any sort of popup notification.
Is there a command, rom, Magisk, or something to do this? And I'd rather not install an old version of Messenger again since Facebook disabled the ability to share pictures and videos for old versions.
FB is malware... and that's being too kind.
I tossed FB well over a decade ago.
It's far worse today... the bubbles are the least of its issues.
You may be able to turn off the bubbles in notification setting or globally...

Nope, sadly all that does is disable bubbles AND chatheads

Try all the options?
Personally I'd ditch FB as fast as possible as it's a proven weaponized data miner extreme.

I wanna know the same. Bubbles are very buggy atm. Chat heads were perfect.

That's not in the spirit of this forum... so you "found" a toggle. Yay.
I disabled bubble notifications (hint) on Pie long ago.

No, I compiled an apk that disables the Bubble Notification API within the app, and in turn re-enables the default messenger chat heads. It's not hard to disable the bubbles, but that's not the point. Almost no one in this thread wants to disable bubble notifications because it does not bring back chat head functionality.

Yeah I realized it was about FB after I posted.
I haven't posted FB in over a decade...
in fact I stopped using it within the first month.
Fb's history speaks for itself.

Lol okay but you had already warned the guy twice about Facebook's security issues, why'd you have to say it AGAIN and word it the way you did? He obviously acknowledges now that he's basically giving away his personal information for someone else to sell, so just leave it at that.

Do you have any documentation of your fix working?

Also, I'm new here, but I think asking for donations up front is against the rules of the forum. I'd be happy to donate if the fix works though. I think I have $10-15 worth of crypto in my wallet if that works.

Thanks for your work

Honestly bro, I wouldn't update to 11 just yet. Even if the apk I provided was perfect (it's not though), I still prefer Android 10 over 11. Aside from that, there is one standing issue with the apk I compiled. Since Android 11 fixed some "issues" with the Apps Drawing Over Other Apps, there are now display issues with Messenger's chat heads, but only while in landscape mode. It works flawlessly in portrait mode, but when you enter landscape mode for some reason the heads fly off the screen to the bottom right and when you open a chat it opens it below the viewport, therefore just displaying an opaque overlay and nothing else. Very annoying for gamers who use Messenger a lot like I do, but for most it isn't a huge deal.

First of all, thanks for the detailed explanation
So the landscape mode problem you just mentioned is exactly the one I hate the most about Messenger on Android 11
I thought your apk can fix that, but turns out it couldn't
Still very appreciate your work ^^

Yeah, sorry about that man. Unfortunately, I'm not smart enough to properly decompile Messenger to change values and stuff like that. Under normal circumstances I would have done it already, but Facebook uses their own method of decompilation protection, with their own custom value types and things like that. People have tried on multiple occasions to decompile it but it's just too complicated. Not sure what they're trying to protect, to be honest. But if someone else would be willing to help me out with decompiling, I'd be glad to fix the display issues!
