Sideload S Beam? - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

This may be a dumb question but is there any way to sideload S Beam on my cm10 gs3? I miss that functionality but love this rom. Everyone is always wanting to see me show off s beam with other stock gs3's and it's embarrassing when I can't. Android beam and wifi direct doesn't work either on cm10 for me

Not gonna happen. It uses closed sourced files and drivers that AOSP doesn't include so neither does cm10

The GS3 has CM10.1 nightlies now doesn't it? If I'm not mistaken, Google added the ability to send photos and videos via Android Beam in 4.2. So Android Beam should now have pretty much the same features as S-beam.

Its been there since ICS.

Android beam is there but doesn't work for me. I've tried it with my brothers stock gs3 and also my nexus7. If a stock gs3 tries to beam me something it opens my play store then gives an error

Android Beam has been there since
ICS, but was limited to sending contacts, map data, play store data etc. In 4.1 JellyBean they added support for sending photos and videos too. So yeah, support should have been there since CM10 not CM10.1.

I'm running a nightly from 11-29. Is there any builds that u are aware of that beam is fully functional? Or even wifi direct?
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app

I don't think WiFi Direct support is there in CM for any device other than the Nexus devices. I don't know the technicalities behind it. The 11-29 nightly doesn't transfer photos and videos via Android Beam? In any case, Android Beam uses only NFC while S-Beam uses both NFC and WiFi Direct, so the lack of WiFi Direct shouldn't be any problem for Android Beam.

Maybe try finding a ROM that has AOSP feel but it still has GS3 stock framework and aps in it.

Ok thanks for the responses. I upgraded to the latest nightly on 12-25, didn't try beam but for some reason my Google now wasn't working and looked completely different so that was a deal breaker for me therefore I went back to 11-29

On the stock GS3, turn off S-Beam and it'll work, I just tried with my sister's stock GS3 and my 10.1 M2 GS3

Does Google chrome work on our phone?

I was in the play market and it said google chrome beta was not available for my device. I don't think that is true however if google chrome was on my phone would I be able to play the game Bastion?

Correct, no Flash support, and Adobe even said don't count on it happening. It's a shame, Android Chrome is great, just incomplete. Looks like it'll still be stock or Maxthon for me.
I'm using Chrome beta on Shostock2 RC6. I definitely prefer it over the regular browser. If you tap on a cluster of very small links (like the page forward/back buttons here on the forum), it brings up a zoomed popup and allows you to click the correct one.
I have chrome beta and it works fine I am on 4.0.3 ICS shostock2
Sent from my SGH-I777 using xda premium
I'm not digging chrome too much yet, personally. I found it little laggy and don't like the way it zooms when double tapped. It should improve with a couple more updates.
Chrome is a little overrated. I still prefer Dolphin over chrome.

Dolphin is good. I've been primarily using Opera Mobile for the last few months.
only if you're running Android 4.0.3+ ....
I had an old Galnet miui (first rom I tried, improper flash got me a yellow triangle following a novice tut) it had android 4+.
Typically the version depends on the rom? Any advantages over stock 236? I only wondered because I wanted to try Bastion on my phone.

I really like the way Chrome on my phone could see the tabs I had open on my laptop. Too bad I had bluetooth issues on all the ICS ROM's I tried and am back to GB for now.

Yeah, having no issues with it either, and I'm running the same thing.
I am really enjoying Chrome on my AOKP 4/9/12 build. It installed straight from the Play Store without issues, and has performed flawlessly.

AllShare for Jelly Bean - Anyone Have It?

Loved this app. Think it had it's own built in video player since it was able to play files from the DLNA server that no other player could do including Dice and Rock.
I've since flashed to CM10 JB preview and am not able to get older versions of DLNA.apk and divx.apk to load. Anyone have a version that will work with JB?
Hoping there is compatibility from the newly released ICS update from Samsung that someone can post.

The two apps in question are dependent on touchwiz and will not work on CM. I've read someone getting all share working on CM but that was one out of dozens of post saying it doesnt work.

AllShare is just Samsung's implementation of UPNP - So if you want the functionality that allshare provides, download an app called UPNPlay from the market. A much better implementation of the UPNP protocol IMO.

There are several alternatives on play store.
IMHO the best are homedia and bubbleupnp. They sync well with my Samsung TV too

How do we fix flash support on JB

Asus claims that you can side load flash player, but it is not working in any browser. Works fine like this on my tf300 with JB. Anyone know what gives?

Yes, sideload go in to firefox settings and enable plugins so it doesnt require prompt.

I hate flash - particularly on Windows PC's where we seem to get the flash player update of the week. Yet, I can't quite seem to do without it. Inevitably I'll hit some site where I need it and just saying that I refuse to visit sites that use it won't work for me. I wish it did.
However, with Apple never supporting it on iOS and now support for it on Android going away slowly, I sure hope it dies soon. For now though, I need it.

You can find some methods of reaquiring flash with a pinch zoom comparable version of Dolphin Browser here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1846225
Thanks for the suggestions, but I am aware of dolphin and the other suggestions and they are not what I am looking for. How can we fix the JB Rom for the Prime to be like the Tf300 JB Rom so flash works in the stock browser? Not a debate on flash vs html5, just need it to work for one website for a family member who needs it for their internal work site for American Airlines. Again it is working with JB for tf300, just not on Prime with the same flash package and browser.

Not sure why Flash wouldn't be working for you in the stock JB browser. As long as I have Flash 11 installed, my stock browser is rendering flash content fine. Are you certain you have the latest version of Flash installed and that the stock browser is set to always for plugins? Noticed you were looking for a FLASH check box, but you actually need to look for the PLUG-INS setting which is located in "settings" "advanced". Also some flash content doesnt work in the "on demand" mode (for instance flow player)
You can find archived Flash versions here since you can't download from play store anymore.

You can install these as long a you have "allow unknown sources" checked in the security settings on the Prime.

[Q] Microsoft Xbox SmartGlass!

Is there any way I can install MS smartglass on my Atrix with Gb? Any of the new Jb or ics roms will do the trick but wich one have the full set of drivers and work without problems?
I'm on epinter's CM10 and Smartglass does not work properly. It takes a long time to load, then it freezes up when it asks me to put in my username and password.
I'd like to use smart glass on gb too :/
everytime I try to install it, I get a parsing error
Sent from my MB860 using xda app-developers app
According to the Google Play page, SmartGlass requires Android 4.0+
There may be libraries not in gingerbread that it relies on. Startup is slow on CM10, and the intro videos crash, but other than that it runs fine.

SmartGlass references the method ActivityManager.getLargeMemoryClass that was introduced in API Level 11 (Honeycomb), so some significant recoding would need done to be done to remove this class and/or API Level dependency.

Looking for a very slim ROM

I am looking for a ROM that cuts out a lot of unnecessary things...it may not even exist. My Vibrant no longer has cell service. But I do use it for music, games and surfing the web sometimes. So, cutting the phone app and everything related to wireless comm (except WiFi of course) to help free up memory for the other things would be nice. Much like Rock box (I think is the name) does for iOS devices like iPhone. Or, any suggestions. I am currently using the CyanogenMod nightlies for 10.1. Thanks for the attention!

Unfortunately, this ROM also cut the android apps out...I am having difficulty finding them again. Cyanogenmod's for 2.2 of course aren't working. This would be a good ROM if I still had access to the Play store when connected to WiFi. Can't even find anythign ont he forum inless my search terms aren't tweaked well enough.
