[Q] Google Videos App - Wifi Version - Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have the wifi version of the Galaxy Tab 10.1. I found an apk for the Google Videos app, as it is not yet available in the market for this tablet. This apk installs and runs "normally" on my HTC G2. The app will install on the Galaxy 10.1 but force quits whenever I try to run it. I read in another topic here that the LTE version of this tablet comes with the Google Videos app, so I am assuming it works there. Has anyone gotten the Google Videos app to work on the Wifi version of this tablet?

My guess is the model number is not setup in the Android Market. As you will notice we have the "Books" app and can see and search on books in the Android Market. Your Movies app is probably force closing because when it tries to load the initial screen, the Android market cant match the device model the tablet app sends. It sends this to retrieve content compatible with the app and device.

CM7 Apps that Won't Install List

This is a running list of apps won't install from the Android Market on the CM7 Alpha build for whatever reason. They should work on phones or tablets, but Android Market says the TouchPad/CM7 Alpha isn't compatible:

Dolphin Browser
Opera Mobile (doesn't respond to menu button)
Order & Chaos (for pay game, assuming it works)
Facebook

Some one mentioned Dolphin
Opera Mobile, my favorite Android browser, says incompatible. . .
Getting Order & Chaos to work would be nice.
Facebook doesn't show up in the Market. Tried to install it from a .apk, kept getting force closes.
Facebook Messenger shows up in Market, says "not compatible"
Google Maps doesn't show up in Market.

There's a fix released on the cmtouchpad google code page, but basically it's because the app has a flag that detects dpi and/or devices. so if it doesn't match up, it doesn't show up.
You can install Facebook and other apps with the APK file. For example, I ran titanium backup and copied the folder to my computer. I then decompressed the gz file containing the apk, copied it to my touchpad and used appinstaller to install it.
Adfree installs but cant edit the hosts file cause it cant mount rw the system partition, same for the Es file manager. Seems like the mount command isnt working

Order & Chaos works. I installed it from the Market and when it opened, it said my device wasn't compatible. So, I changed my build.prop to read Driod X and Motorola wherever HP or Touchpad was (backed it up first). Then I rebooted.
Once I opened it after reboot, it downloaded all 600MB of data and I logged in. It runs pretty good, but there is a little stutter here-and-there.

Install Fake GPS from Market and set a location. Then use Facebook and it should work. It did for me. Found this fix on another thread here somewhere.
Now does anybody have any suggestions as to why the XDA app won't work properly for me? I can view threads, but once I log in and try to view a thread, it force closes.
Ah... ty.. I went back and instead of switching it in settings I opened something to type and selected choose input method and it worked ty

dolphin browser works. get it from amazon.
Facebook 1.7.2 (installed from .apk) gave me the force closes, apparently it relies on a functional GPS. However, Facebook 1.6.4 worked for me right away; no need to spoof a GPS.

[Q] Redux TV APK?

I would like to test the Redux TV apk in my android device. Can someone post a download link or PM me? Thank you!
[A] Redux TV APK!!
mamibg, if you'd still like the Redux TV apk, shoot me an email at "brent [at] redux.com"
Here you go
Here's the Redux TV apk from my Google TV. Just installed it on my ICS Transformer Prime, and it works beautifully. Clicking "open" after installing it took me to my browser (or redux.com on in the app -- not sure), but exiting (force quit) and restarting the app worked perfectly just as though it were running on my Google TV. Massive win. Redux needs to release this in the Play Store.
For the record, I tried installing this on my LG Thrill (GB phone), but it just crashed. I'm guessing it requires honeycomb or higher (ICS for example). I'll try it on my Samsung Galaxy Nexus ... as soon as I get it in the mail. :crying:
Thanks!
Redux is working great on my Android 2.3 Media TV box. Thanks y'all.
anybody have the latest version of this apk?
Where is the update?
I had this "free" app working fine on my LG Esteem then suddenly I am being prompted to "update" the app. The version is still 1.0 but each time I try to access this "free" and "not compatible" app I am being given no options to decline the update and simply use the app as is. Moreover, once i get into the Play store I am unable to update it because the "app isn't compatible with your device". Can the developers please just release this obviously imposed restriction on my device..and can someone PLEASE post the latest updated apk. Thanks:laugh:
Redux TV APK Update
Update attached
Hope to see further updates on the REDUX TV webpage. Google Play Store has branded my Android device incompatible with Redux, but I say nooooooo. It does work with my M3 box!!!!

excellent and thanks, i've got this running on Nexus Q flawlessly.
A little buggy at first, but I was able to get it working on my HP Touchpad running CM9. It didn't want to show the keyboard so I couldn't log in at first, but then it came up randomly and allowed me to log in. Now that I'm logged in it won't be an issue.
latest update?
Can anyone post the latest update? I wished I could purchase this app for my Note 3 but...I have to rely on the cool peeps here.. Thanks in advance.

Downloading APKs

I'm frustrated with Google Market because a decent handful of apps that I want to download show incompatible with my device. But I can't seem to find anywhere to download the apks now either to side load them. I used to use an apk downloader extension with Chrome but that no longer works and I can't get sites like Appbrain, Getjar etc to download the file either. I'm looking for apps like ticketmaster, cvs, target etc which are all free apps.
Any way around the Market issue or a good site without warez to get these apps?

I have been playing with a Kindle Fire and have(had) the same issue. I have used 1Mobile Market for most of the apps I previously got from the Play Store (Market). To install the Mobile market app, use the browser and go to their site (1mobile.com/). From their you can download their app with needed installer. After that, a huge variety of apps are available.

Voodoo programs are usually reliant on Voodoo compatible customized kernels, not stock non altered kernels.
For download apk's from PlayStore I use Real APK Leecher.
And how Real APK Leecher OP proposed i created new gmail account only for this necessity. Device ID i just got at my SGS II. All works like charm. Later i can install it to my phone or rooted Nook HD+ with Android Commander (very handy and great tool).
Amazon app store works ironically just fine.

Try this link.
Although it says Kindle Fire HD, ignore that. Ignore step 3. Also ignore anything that says about copying to /system/app.
Just install the apps in the order he has listed then install the "Vending.apk" (That is the Google Play Store). Please also note that you will most likely not be able to install apps from it. :/

Seems to me like there should be some kind of app you can run on your rooted android device to pull the apk. Then install the full version on the Kindle via sideloading.

You'll get better results in the interim from installing:

or
b) Aptoide
or

Tinkering with Google Play Store components before we have root may be an exercise in futility.

The SnapPea app that I just tested is a way to control your android device from a browser on your computer, similar to AirDroid. It does not allow access to Google Play for the Kindle. What it does do is help you to install an .apk file through the browser, but then we can do that already by allowing sideload anyway. So maybe you were thinking about something else?

I basically got pretty much every app to work except for Hangouts and Play Store. This includes everything from Voice to Gmail to Map to Google Earth to Google Plus to whatever. The key for me was to start with base configs that Android Cowboy posted, but then add bunch of dependencies from android 4.2.2 and update with latest version of backed up apps. For example, I have had to install Google Play Services 3.2.66 first and then was able to update to 4.0.31 after reboot. That version was required for Youtube to work properly (i.e. allow account sign-in). Things still crash sometimes, but it's not a huge deal.
Main thing is Youtube, Music, Gmail and Calendar are all working more or less ok. Chrome signed into my google account, but its not pulling down settings (bookmarks, open tabs from other computers, etc...). Google Plus crashes sometimes but works. Hangouts is clearly missing a dependency of some sort. I installed most things I could thing of from default Android 4.2.2 CM10.1 apps package and from backing up my phone (galaxy s4), but it's still no go. It would be nice to get that going as well. Oh well, Skype can cover most things there.

Wanted to confirm that I also have Google Voice working on the HDX 7 (since I rarely see people mentioning it as a Google App). Interestingly, I also got Talkatone working on the HDX with my Google Voice number, even though the app's FAQ plainly says that Google Voice will NOT work with it. As a result, as long as I have wifi, I can now easily use my Google Voice number to make and receive calls.

To get apps to show up on the stock multi tasking bar you have to open them from the stock home launcher.

Correct. The multitasking feature on the HDX is basically just the Carousel, with exactly the same shortcuts in exactly the same order. The only difference is it's hidden on the edge of the screen until you pull it up. So, just as apps launched from alternative launchers won't show up on the Carousel, they also won't show up on the HDX multitasking bar.

Amazon Prime Video

Is it possible to watch Amazon Prime Video on this tablet?
I've installed the Amazon app (phone version, not "for Tablets") and Prime Instant Video on my brand new Nexus 9 using the Amazon App Store. With my previous tablet, this would allow me to watch Prime Video using the Amazon app.
But with the Nexus 9, the "Video" option is missing from the pull out menu.
I'm interested in any possible workaround!
No, it doesn't work. If you sideload the Amazon Instant Video apk and run it you just get an error message saying its not supported. Thanks, Amazon....

Amazon Prime streaming on Android is offered for phones only - not tablets. On my previous Galaxy Tab Pro 10.1 (don't buy that device) I was able to side load the phone app and get video streaming to work that way. But Amazon seems to have the Nexus 9 blacklisted for being a "tablet".
Since it worked on my N7 FHD running L preview once I upgraded the app to 5.1, I was hoping it would work on N9.

I haven't tried this yet, but it's likely the only option for the foreseeable future. Let's hope Amazon change their ridiculous Kindle tablet strategy sooner rather than later!
Curious, if you change the build.prop for one app does it not mess
up the other apps?
I'm extremely interested in getting AIV working too. I actually complained to amazon and they cited the no tablet policy, I griped that it worked on my Nexus 7 and I see no reason at all why they would block tablets. They basically said sorry and credited me $5 which was nice but now it looks like I have to hack something.
I've not tried this on a Nexus 9, but have you tried Firefox and Flash using the old Flash apk that's lying around? I can view Amazon Instant on my Nexus 7 this way. It even supports full screen viewing.
Update: as it turns out my Nexus 9 was stuck on an older firmware and the OTA failed for some reason, even if I tried sideloading them. I got the latest image from Google and wiped my N9 and put that on and now amazon prime will play videos and doesn't show the unsupported device message.
I am seeing a lot of buffering but that's a whole different issue.
Regarding Flash, crashes Firefox for me every time.
scottjal-
after you loaded the factory image from google, did you have to do anything special or just install the amazon for tablets app from the play store. Going to work on this on my nexus 9 tonight, but in order to get it working on my nexus 7 with lollipop I had to install the amazon appstore app, then install the amazon shopping app (for phone) from within the amazon appstore.

Are you also stuck on the original shipping version of 5.0? I was stuck on the one that isn't available for download, and my updater said everything was up to date.
Near as I am aware the only way to get the prime instant video app is from the amazon app store so you need that to get it. Then the instant video app will likely tell you to go get the amazon store app as well even though you might already have that from the play store. Apparently the AIV needs the special amazon store app from their app store.
Update 2: it appears the buffering issue isn't amazon's fault, there are plenty of video playback issues with Android 5 it seems.
I'm forced to admit this is the worst Android experience I've ever had and it certainly isn't limited to this one little issue.

I had the same problem with the store app, seemed to be related to multiple downloads IMO. Check your downloads folder and see if you have their store app downloaded multiple times with a (2) or such at the end of the file, if so delete all copies of the store app downloaded. Clear data on the store app and uninstall that, then download one copy of the store app from amazon, it shouldn't have ()in the file name. Try again with that one.
Edit: it might also be too many attached devices in amazon. There is a place to clear those out on amazon if it's loaded up with a bunch of different devices.
I got it working.
