[Q] CNN Tablet App or USA Today Tablet App - G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Do we have to wait until Honeycomb to get this on the gTablet, or is anyone seeing it in the market or has an APK?

It's on the web market but I can't see it on my G Tab or phone and it can't be installed to either device.
"UPDATED:
February 24, 2011
CURRENT VERSION:
1.2
REQUIRES ANDROID:
3.0 and up
CATEGORY:
News & Magazines"
Not sure if having the APK would work either. From what I remember, you can't install Android 2.0+ apps on say, Android 1.6.

I cant see it either
I cannot see it. Does anyone have a apk for it?

CNN APK
I tossed it up on the Nook Color forums
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=13048857&postcount=9

Thanks!
Works good on the exiled developers new ROM, although the white text on black background hurts my eyes after awhile.

I Imagine this was a little tongue-in-cheek, but it's a sad day on XDA when you can refer to "the exiled developer" and I know who you're talking about. Leaves a very bad taste in my mouth...

Sweet, Works with CM7S.
Thanks!
Edit:
May I asked who is the "Exiled" one?

I thought the Honeycomb version used panels? This looks like the standard version but I might not know what I am talking about.

I think you are right.. I think this is the phone version. I have been using their site though and it seems to run pretty well anyway so I don't know if we really need the app anyway.

Request: Motoblur!

I don't know how possible it would be to do,
but I played with some motoblur widgets on my buddy's Cliq, and now I'm jealous (i'm a social networking junkie).
Understanding that MOTOBLUR is still Android 1.5/1.6, is there any way to set up a partial MOTOBLUR integration into a ROM, or a MOTOBLUR skin that includes the widgets (and some program to log in/sign up to Motoblur?).
I found and pushed some .apk files I found around, but without any real idea what I'm doing, it was pretty close to 100% failure (with the exception of actually getting a couple of icons to show up in my app drawer - that's about it).
Is there any other interest in this? And will this be easier once the Cliq and Devour get 2.1?

I really want to see MotoBlur too! Hope you can make a motoblur rom!
if u want the skin theres a ton of ways u can go about it.
from what i kno theres about 4 home replacement apps that offer it.
one that i personally tried is for GDE..its ok,nothing to write home about. Not the skin, just the look..its a bit too kiddy for me.
as far as widgets go, check the hero forums, its been discussed.
sorry man

I tried to port 2.2 sense but I'm missing a few drivers and I have a motoblur rom sitting on a hosting site if anyone wants to take a crack at it. The radio on it doesn't work (no cell, wifi, bluetooth) so you can't get past the first screen, but touchscreen, buttons etc. all work. I ported it from a gsm rom.
Sorry about the mishap

PlayStation phone running gingerbread

I defanitly know this is the right place to put this but I didn't know where else to put this where it would actually see the day of light lol. But here it is the new PlayStation phone running on gingerbread =D full story here http://www.androidcentral.com/sonys-playstation-phone-gets-caught-blurrycam-gingerbread
Sent from my FroShedYo.V6 using XDA App
Be advised, this is just a opinion. I know that everyone has one but at least mine has examples. I'm not saying that it is or it is not the phone in the video
Hmm almost looks too good to be true. If I remember correctly SE had armed guards at the E3 when they reveled the PS3 to the world too see and try out. In fact SE just had the guts of the unit out but I'm getting off point. After the Iphone 4 being "found on the floor at a bar" incident I think SE would not let their product be "leaked" anywhere and nowhere soon. for all we know it could be the XPeria X10.
Also after some searching for cases that would look like the model in the video (although blurry you can see rounded edges on top and some silver buttons on the bottom) I came across this phone The Sony Ericson Vivas the link about it (with picture) can be found here: http://www.gsmarena.com/sony_ericsson_vivaz-3022.php
Due to the quality of the video, we can not exactly tell what OS the person is using. Possibly rooted to use a android OS. I'm not a dev and do not know how to program but look haw far people have gone. Anything is possible
One more thought, after the recent jailbreaking methods of the PS3 Sony has spent a lot of time with firmware updates and world wide court dates to halt the sale and distribution of usb devices that jailbreak the PS3 so SE may actually take longer to release to make it "un-jailbreakable" If a android OS is gonna be released on the phone then, well, theres an app for that. Great now I'm gonna get sued by Uncle Steve for copyright on the app comment.
I absolutely agree with you. You can't really trust what you read but I thought it was pretty kick ass that it somebody would even be able to put gingerbread on a Sony phone. There was also some sort of leak that suposably a new version of the galaxy was found at a flea market in Greece. Sounds like BS to me but if it is true I defanitly want to move there they're getting all the good **** first lmao

I figure this was a question, but I clicked on the thread anyway, hoping it was a statement of successful installation!
Hah sorry to get your hopes up! I would imagine it would install without a problem though, we are running HC after all. The issue I see is booting it up and it looking for a service or hardware we don't have.
Perhaps if someone is kind enough they could venture on over to the Xoom forums and ask around for an apk?

Remember we are only running a premature "preview" HC. Any APKs from the XOOM may require one or more API only present in the final SDK build. Also, any app that requires "Renderscript" will fail too. For example, the YouTube and Google Books apps require Renderscript. Perhaps the CNN app does also.
The CNN app for Android Phones came out. Does anybody had the apk since the Nookcolor won't show it in market. Thanks.
I'm pretty sure there are both a honeycomb and a "standard" version.
Got it from my G1. Installed fine on the nook. Pretty basic, but doesn't look as hot as the honeycomb version.
I grabbed the .APK from my Epic. It wouldn't install on my Nook. Perhaps it is time to share the G1 Version?
Looked up the rules and I think it's okay.
Here ya go. I'm running CM7 stable and OC'd 4/18c, and it works.

EXACTLY. The OP is talking about a "tablet app" that "came out today" for his NC running HC....well, that "today" was in February...the "tablet app" for HC has been out for a month. Every other post about so-and-so CNN app, under this month old post, can and will be confusing to some.....

[Q] Netflix App

hi all I was just curious if anyone knows if the new Netflix app is working on the Thunderbolt or not. I assume it would but the thunderbolt is not listed on the netflix web site as a supported phone for this app, even though 3 other HTC phones are listed and are older tech than the Thunderbolt. I tried to install it but they want me to start an account with them first and I'm not opening a Netflix account unless I know for sure this will work on My thunderbolt. I'd appreciate any information anyone has on this,.. thanks!!
there are hacked netflix APKs out there that work on the thunderbolt
I thought it was only working for cm7?

2. how do I install a ROM, never done so before
3. can someone link me the cyanogen mod 7 forum where I can download the files for it
4. Can someone link me where to get the APK that works with Cyanogen mod7 for Netflix?
oh and 5th... thanks!

The Netflix app will not work with any ROMs based off the official Thunderbolt RUUs as of now.
I was so mad when my boyfriend's Incredible would stream Netflix, and my newer Thunderbolt WON'T. He doesn't even use his phone. He fixed it so he can use wireless tethering..and uses his ipod touch! That's what made me so pissed off about it. I actually want to be able to watch Netflix on mine! Maybe one day soon =(
yeah This fairly well annoys me as well.. I purposefully bought the highest end phone I could find with the latest technology and it can't run the netflix app while the older models can,.. sounds kinda backasswards to me... really bugs me
Would love to have this working. Til then I guess I'll just have to use it on my DX

If you are rooted you can trick the app into thinking you are using one of the phones that are listed. I think i read about the trick on android central if i find the link i will post it.

Don't think so, so far its only working if your running CM7 I believe.
Has anyone on here used CM7? I loaded it one day and nothing really worked on it. I couldn't get on the internet or anything... sounds like to a waste to run CM7 just to use netflix
Netflix does work on cm7 and will be supported on the thunderbolt soon. The reason why it wasn't initially is because the phone is new and Netflix didn't have time to test it on our devices. Just give it some time and you all will be rewarded.

My understanding is that they are waiting til after the Revolution comes out to activate it for LTE phones. Its one of the selling points of the Revolution so it will probably be exclusive to that for a month or so. Just speculating though.

Market updated to new version overnight?

I've flashed a bunch of different roms lately, but I'm pretty sure I had left the market alone after putting on p3's rom.

The new market is actually fairly new and is buggy, prior to the new grid design there was the carousel design that had the green background, the new one needs lots of work from what I can see. It seems as if it was meant for instead tablets IMO.

Yeah, I could see it looking better on a tablet. It seems too much too pack into a small screen, but I still like the layout better than the last version.
The first time I started up the Market on the X2, it was different and looked a lot different, with silver buttons, and had straight lines and no curves. It looked sick! And even with the replacement phones I got, the first time I started up Market, it looked the like that! But every single time after, it went to the carousel design. I wish I could get that to come up every time. Although when I tried to download something, it wouldn't download it and I'd have to close it and reopen it
