Here's the story: S2 running on ICS: since music hub is not supported in my region (namibia), i installed market unlocker. when i choose any market, except local, music hub works fine. search, buy, download, etc.
now i installed JB and music hub is still not supported in my region, but even with market unlocker it doesn't work. i've downloaded marketaccess, but its in zip form and don't know how to install, even when unziped.
game hub and readers hub work fine. video hub also not working.
any ideas, anyone?
can one change the csc code to fool the phone into thinking its in a different region?
Thanks.
Thats a pretty specific question.. I am far away from being a dev but an answer is better than no answer at all ^^ By google i found market unlocker pro which is supposed to be working!
Thanks, but not even the pro version works.

I love the MIUI but I have been skeptical about trying it because I'm too attached to Samsung's specially designed apps such as the Allshare (DLNA), Email (split view), Samsung keyboard, Memo, Kies Air, photo editor and Video Maker and Voice Talk (home button double click).
From what I read, these are built on a different framework than the MIUI (CM7) which will not work. Very sad face.
So the real question is, is there a way to port any of the mentioned apps over to MIUI?
A alternative for Allshare that I would recommend is Skifta. I even use it on my phone which is a stock based rom since it is better in the area of the phone as the player since Allshare is hard coded to use the stock video player and will not let you select a different installed player which means lower format support and you can't stream mkv's to the phone from a server even though the phone could play the same file if it is on the sdcard.
For phone to other device it has the same capabilities.

Thanks shadowofdarkness, unfortunately it doesn't seem to work properly. When I click on Music it just sits there for a while, and non of the movies play. I'm thinking maybe I need another player?
I noticed it's beta, so it might be in the process of being fixed.

What is your setup, is the phone the server or player? On my phone I prefer MX video player in SW mode for best compatibility.
I have the following devices and have not had any real problems
Phone server/client
XBMC server/client
MythTV server only
The clients especially TVs can have low format support since a lot of manufacturers only put in the most heavily used formats and can even have problems with variations of certain codec profiles.
All my media is stored on a windows 7 pc that has media stream server enabled. So whatever I have in My Music, My Video and My Pictures is easily viewed in Allstream. Skifta looks great btw, just hope they fix the issues soon.

Id say that if you like those special services that samsung provides don't install MIUI. Currently it is on v4 for the GS3, nevertheless the beta is on its way and is being tested as we speak. The GUI is really nice, but you DO loose some special services.

o,thanks! your answer also helped me to solve this big problem, especailly when i just trying the MIUI V5 in my galaxy S3
Looks like WD released an official remote app for Gen 3 WD live devices (media hub and streaming media player). My problem is that when i go to the market it says that my device isn't supported. I'm running CM7.1. Can anyone post the a link to download said app? I already have another app that does just about everything this remote does but i would like the extra shortcuts to the other services (youtube, pandora, netflix...). Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Check out http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1426994 . Though I'm still looking for v1.0.1.
thank you for the response. I'm running CM9 right now so i'm going to have to wait till i dual boot cm7 to give this a try.
Hi, I picked one of these up the other day, really impressed (£100 in Hmv).
First, just incase people don't know this machine, out of the box (on Froyo) has a brilliant iplayer function, where if you use the Dolphin HD browser (desktop mode) on the iplayer website you can download shows directly (through wifi) to the machine so can watch on the go.
Not many portable devices allow this, but it's something I always look for (old Nokia phones, and the Galaxy tab (original) had it, I don't think that it's that we'll known a function, may help some folk.
Q... Okay now here's my question... Any uk users know whether I would lose this function if I updated to Gingerbread ?... I know the 2.3.6 is kind of official in Europe, but maybe if I use Odin to install it I may lose the iplayer function ? Maybe it might reject the license acquisition if I use a Eurpean update ?
I have never been into roms, rooting etc, but would like to try if I don't lose the iplayer.
Thanks
Probably not, I don't think there's any difference in the video player. Backup the stock video player using Titanium (once you have rooted) and then install whatever you want.
Hi,
just got myself first, proper Android device.
My Lumia has been passed on to my spouse and I am trying to get familiar with the system and device.
As you can imagine, after using iPad and recently Lumia I do feel a bit lost and overwhelemd by the amount of options, menus and submenus
As right now I am trying to dig through tons of posts, pages here and on other sites. Not an easy task to get to the essential information.
Perhaps you can help me be hinting some shortcuts or giving straight through answers?
My S3 is not branded and unlocked but not rooted, runnind Android 4.1.1
1. How do I get Flash working in Chrome?
2. How do I get Market Enabler app on it?
All my tries and downloads has not been succesful so far

Also, on my iPad I was using an awesome video player - Buzz Player.
It plays mkv (iPad can't do it smootlhy but that is different story), divix, avi... anything really.
What is mor eimportnat it was able to stream those videos from my NAS drive - old WD My Book World via smb (samba).
I tried Buzz for Android but it is truly terrible . Nothing like app on iOS + very expensive to buy.
Would you have anyy suggestion - what I should try? (BTW: option for Windows Store - "try" before "buy" is really helpfull - would love to see it on Google Play!).
And what is the best (free) barcode scanner as there is no Bing in S3.. ?

I really have no idea for streaming my s3 plays mkv movies from stock..but you could try "vlc direct pro free" i think you will be ok!
As for the barcode try quickmark for more options or barcode scanner for simple use

As far as I'm aware chrome doesn't support flash anyway, try dolphin browser hd. Market enabler does require root access. As for the video player try MX Player from the play store it plays pretty much everything, possibly the best video player for android.
Hope I could help

Hy im a newby here and also in android, comming from iOs too....
my phone is rooted and i managed to install the so wanted flash player from Adobe v11(not sure the version, its been a long time)
it works great in my Galaxy S3 ... i open internet sites and videos using Opera (or Chrome which i like a lot but havent tested it yet)
look for your version of system/phone in Adobe site and you will find the right flash player, just download the file and follow the instrutcions on the site.
Hi Guys,
Apparently, the Nexus TV player in the UK has a Now TV App. I was wondering if anyone will be able to provide me with the apk for the app. I tried sideloading the one from the Google Play store, but it loads sideways and I cannot navigate it using the remote. I am hoping this won't be the case with the Now TV app on the UK Nexus Player.
Any one at all? Pretty Please
It is apparently pre-installed on the UK version of the nexus player if that helps?
i'm in the UK and there is no NowTV app for the nexus player in the play store.
there is also no pre-installed app either.
I am in the UK as well and can confirm there is no preinstalled app, if there was one I think this would make me subscribe to the service.
ive only just picked an NP, updated to android 8 'O' and sideloaded a few apps after installing forced landscape app to fix the portrait display of now tv, all4 & itv hub.
i have the latest now tv app running fine apart from errors when i try playing a show. logs in fine & displays full menu & navigates well with mouse. i'm gonna try a fire tv fixed app to see if that works.
unfortunately i had All 4 working completely until this evening when i got an update notice with forces me to the store with no means of updating. itv hub has never worked & iplayer works without issue. a real mixed bag.
thank god it's got chromecast function otherwise i'd be furious with this very limited device. rooting seems inevitable.
