Read the thread about antiviruses. It's false positive.
It's a pain for them if you don't buy it from App Store.
If you skip it, you'll see nothing happens. Most of these detections are because of the unprofessional APP Signers.

TubeMate is not a virus. Not a Trojan. And not a backdoor.
Some anti-virus applications detect them as threats for either of two reasons:
1. No signature verified in database. And that is something not always true.
2. Detecting system /rw access such as download area of sdcard. Permission is not set properly as expected by anti-virus logic.
Either way TubeMate is a safe application.
tested on my phone
I confirm this is not a virus or trojan :good:
Is this safe?
This OG youtube downaloder by Osama is best app for downloading youtube videos in different videos formats or in mp3 and it has built in download button. works for boht rooted and non rooted device
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2213945
Updated to version 2.0.2 !!
Why does this app need permissions for calls?
I can't have my phone out at work so I use bluetooth a lot and listen to mp3. I have preload turned on in youtube and the videos show a green down arrow (supposed to mean downloaded) but Tubemate isn't finding the videos so I can convert them to mp3. Am I missing something?
Thanks!
Tubemate is excellent but I prefer this tbh

I noticed there are many full albums of music available on youtube. that's funny for me because I uploaded just one song, 3 minutes long, and I get a negative 'copyright' notice. huh!
Thanks, good app.At least is better than "Official" youtube app by google....There are about nine/ten months that it doens't work correctly...meanwile on the browser it works fine....The official app very often shows me the error message "There was an error with the network" or something like that...However now i'm fine with your app

Hey man, you have to add (if possible obsviously) the option to keep the screen on when viewing a video...IT's important for me 'cause i use only your app for Youtube instead than official app cause as i said before i had many problems with it, so please add that opton
PS:sorry for my english
Playlists from YouTube?
I hadn't used this in a while, but I love it. How can I find my playlists that I made in YouTube?
Thank you in advance!
UPDATE: Figured it out. Now that YouTube has profiles... you need to use the correct profile. Confusing. I thought I was signed in under my Google ID and forgot about the new profile thing.

Flac will allow you to play flac files. It´s a lossless compression format for audio. Google is your friend.

Hello all
So as someone you might know HBO GO doesn't works on ICS (or atleast its not working officially).
Now before you proceed HBO GO is available to those who have subscription on their tv providers.
There is a workaround for this issue. The app works great, though the quality of the movies/series there is not HQ. I am comparing the quality to my Netflix app where I get pretty high quality movies. The Iron Man photos are from the NetFlix app.
Look below for the app, if you cannot get it from the market.
The workaround:
1. Install the HBO GO on your device.
2. open the app and you will see this message pops up HBO GO is not supported on this device
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
3. Do not hit close. next from the multitask icon on the bottom of the screen, click it to transfer to another opened app. remember do not hit the close button.
4. Now that you are in the other app, hit the Home button wait 1-2 sec and then from the multitasking or the app icon, open HBO GO again. wait something like 5 seconds and the app should be open. you then login and viola you can watch HBO GO on the Prime.
I did it on the prime, but i guess you can do it on any ICS device out there.
Do notice that every time you will exit HBO GO you will need to repeat these steps.
I still didn't hook the prime to by tv to see the overall quality of the app performance while connected to a TV (will do it today later on).
To prove that it actually works here are some screen i took with the app on
Enjoy, let me know if it worked for you

Another workaround is to simply play it through the browser. Go to hbogo.com and click on "Request Desktop Site," it'll reload and let you play videos just like it was your computer, hi-def and everything.
I use the browser method also and it works great wish the app worked though

Great workaround! Thanks!!! I've been using the web browser but this (once you're in) is much easier to navigate than the site. The quality isn't quite as nice but very watchable. Tried Real Time with Bill Maher (which is an HD show) and the quality was just fine.
Unfortunately while I can get in and browse around when I try and play a movie it just returns back to the home screen of the app. Fortunately xfinity finally released a streaming app for Android that I think gives you most of the same content

Hey all..
Thanks to this thread I was able to mod the app so this method shouldn't be needed.
See this thread for details.
Had I not saw this thread I wouldn't have ever thought of trying the mod so thank you.
Another work around would be installing the xfinity player app at playstore. Since its now compatible you can access your HBO and all other services you are signed up on.

First, grab the apk from here:

Apk: http://www.mirrorcreator.com/files/1ACRSW7E/
XDA general thread, has updated build (see post 2)- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1772433
I know it is a nexus q blog post, but it works... To test, I switched my flyer from onexxl (ICS port) to honeycomb (Senseless). Onexxl was a bit too laggy for xbmc.... Side note: Damn xbmc is a memory hog.

A couple bugs. Xbmc does not yet use the native device sound profile, so be sure to volume up before opening the app.
I don't know if this is an app issue or rom issue, but switching away from xbmc and back (like to increase system volume) will crash it.
Audio... 5.1 does not work. Either you will need to transcode your videos to a mobile profile or some other method. 2.0 is iffy. It could just be how my vids are transcoded, idk. Mileage may vary.
The default skin works as a touch interface, though I would recommend installing one that is a bit more touch friendly. It comes with a second skin is one that is touch friendly. Fyi, you can install skins in app just like with xbmc on other platforms.
Other than that, it works just as xbmc should... With no need for a server program. It picked up both the smb and upnp shares on my media server.
Haven't tested plugins yet, but will soon.
Addons/plugins install fine

this is a real nice find. started playing with it yesterday. Once you get the hang of how to add all the plug ins it has allot of potential. Using the 1 channel plug in for example I was able to get to new tv shows with little effort. Audio on streams is choppy though, I have not attempted to connect to tv through MHL as of yet. If you are a sports fan the first row sports plug in is nice. It is a real resource hog when running, but to be honest you are not multitasking when using it. There is a thread for this in the android general section where the op has posted a more recent compiled version. Hope this continues to move forward, for those who like to stream this is a great app.

Definitely. The fact that it doesn't require external server software *cough*Plex*cough* is what seals it. My media is on a FreeNAS/NAS4free server, which Plex server doesn't support.
Installing add-ons is easy enough.
If installing via an external repo (ex. BlueCop), download via the tablets browser. Open XBMC, Settings > Addons > Install From Zip. Choose external storage, locate the repo zip, it installs.
From there, choose Get Add-Ons, find the category and click away....
I'll add the link to the General thread to the OP in a moment, thanks for the heads up

there is another way to get add-ons. .

by the way do you have any issue with Choppy sound when streaming video? I read somewhere that the sound has to be all the way up but have not tried it yet
Yes putting the in app volume to max fixes the sound. This app is going to be epic, until it is closed down

Yeah, I've had a problem with any movie on my server... Not just xbmc but any network streaming app (ex. UPnPlay)
All my vids are 5.1 or 7.1 (except for the odd tv show that came native 2.0)
No movie sound works proper for me... I have to wait for the weather to cool off some so I can fire up my gaming rig and re-transcode some test videos. Having it top 90* ambient in my home office with no computer on makes for one unhappy computer when it is. Office is a windowless room, so....

It could use a bit of cleaning up as it was originally designed for the ipad resolution. I have the graphic design skills of a rock, but can at least rework the skin to be a bit more friendly on our resolution. Maybe add a bit of Holo to it?

someone else played with xbmc with JellyBean on it?
suddenly it seems fonts are missing in some places, and it still takes 3 or 4 startups to have it running.
anyone else?
---------- Post added at 10:11 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:37 PM ----------
here are some more current editions , tested.
problem with left side menu, is fixed at least
look here
ok,
it works quite well on JellyBean, when first it has scanned all language files and crashed 2-3 times due to memory issues getting those files unpacked and ready. but then it works quite well from here.
very good replacement for flashbased players which we probably wont see on jellybean for much longer.
edit:
here is another one, and seems better and more stable. although this will never get h/w acceleration since its for xios DS player it works great.
try it from here build is from july 30.
Depends on what you mean by jellybean.... It works okay on my n7. Haven't found any missing functions/fonts. Haven't quite tested it on the jb flyer rom yet.
I don't use it much on my tablets anyway since I have an htpc.

correct, the new builds are great and in my _flyer_ case, its important since im unable to get h/w decoding like many other cm10 builds. so xbmc is a great alternative with support for many media functions.
lets just agree that native ota updates should be fine
This is a nice thread with good links. I'll follow this as I have an older XBMC on my Maxx that works fine. I've tested it on GB and Honeycomb devices and it wont start. I'm about to get a TF201 and plan to flash JB so this thread could prove very helpful.
SpotifyAVRCP:
Spotify doesn't send track information via bluetooth, in the past there have been patched versions of Spotify floating around to add media metadata over bluetooth. This is an xposed module that does the same thing, it hooks into an internal track change function and broadcasts a standard android media intent.
The Spotify APK is run through proguard so method names are likely to change - which means this may not work with all versions and future updates could break it - in which case I will try and fix asap and upload a new version.
Requirements:
1) Have Xposed Framework Installed
Instructions to install SpotifyAVRCP:
1) Download & Install SpotifyAVRCP from bintray or in the Xposed Installer Downloads section
2) Enable SpotifyAVRCP in Xposed Installer
3) Restart device
4) Play Music
Changelog
Latest: 1.0.0 Beta - 30/11/13 (Download)
Initial Release
Support for Spotify Version 0.7.3.636
Notes
It seems that this mod might only be useful for bluetooth info on android 4.2.x and below. 4.3 introduces AVRCP support and should handle things properly. However this mod might still be useful if you have other legacy applications which rely on the old broadcasts to get track information - this seems to be the case for both Pebble and Gear smartwatches.
If you're reporting problems, please include the Device, OS Version and end device you're trying to get to work.

When I said it was working a treat, I only tested it on my Galaxy Gear (which displays Media Information) in the media control centre.
I tried it in my Toyota Altara S (2012) and the media head displays
(No Data) for each field.

Is there a media player which does work in your Toyota? If so, I can grab it and check which intents its sending. At the moment I'm sending the default android "com.android.music.metachanged" intent which, as far as I understand it, is what the os reads to generate the avrcp data.

Yes, the default android music player. I'm running the stock Samsung TouchWiz ROM for Note 3 n9005:
Music 6.0.1
I've also attached the APK made from a TitaniumBackup View attachment com.sec.android.app.music-58e673dbcbf733750a580d16571af5d4.apk
I'll try re coupling the devices again in the meantime

Out of curiosity does it support album art in the car? Or just to the gear?

Yes, when using the default music app:
I am able to see the album art and all tag information on both the Car and on the Galaxy Gear. (Edit: Give me 2 seconds to run out and double check)
I am only able to see tag information in the Car. The Gear however displays album art and tag information.
Annoyingly, the car will always autostart the Default Music app over Spotify.... it brings annoyance to no end...
There is one unrelated caveat, which is probably more related to the car's shortcomings is the lack of Unicode-8 for foreign characters. The Gear does not have this issue.

You're on an odexed rom, can you grab the Music.odex from the app directory on your phone as well?
Actually nevermind - I can't deodex it without grabbing the whole rom, what build are you running, ill download a deodexed copy of your rom and grab the apk.
As requested:

EDIT: I'm running a completely stock Samsung Note 3 Rom. I've only rooted it, but have never flashed any recovery/rom.

Not working for me either using Nexus 4 with 4.4. As soon as my device connects is says "Nexus 4" and after that it's just empty. If I launch Google Play music it is sending metadata perfectly and if I switch to Spotify after that Spotify is also sending it perfectly. I had this exact behaciour before installing your module or Metafy or the modified Spotify app.
I also tried disabling Google Play music but that doesnt seem to have any effect except for that I cannot use mentioned workaround anymore. If theres anything I can do to help please let me knoe.

So launching google play music means that spotify metadata comes through properly? Can you try and force stop google play music once the spotify metadata is working and see if it continues to work?

Sure. To clarify: Launch spotify -> play song -> no metadata -> launch gplay music -> start playing a song (will pause spotify) -> metadata of that song is dislayed -> switch back to spotify, unpause -> gplay music pauses -> metadata displayed is now the spotify song and will update accordingly when the song changes
Problem is that you need to do this trick again anytime you lose bluetooth connection.
-------------------------------
Tested it, still works after force closing play music and even deactivating it. It seems to me as if Google Play music initializes something that is necessary for metadata transfer.

Ok, thats super strange but at least it gives us something to work with. To clarify, what the xposed mod currently does is inject the metachanged intent so that a 'standard' intent shares the info systemwide - which seems to trigger things like smartwatches getting their metadata. I didn't realise the previous patches didn't quite achieve what it was described as.
I've just dredged through the spotify apk and as far as I can tell it initialises everything as it should. Admittedly the android docs on how this stuff is meant to work is rather vague.
Could you test a couple more scenarios for me?
What happens if you just open google play music but don't start playing - does Spotify still send the correct metadata then?
What about other media players, I think PowerAmp supports AVRCP these days, could you test it and see how the behaviour compares to Spotify / Google Play Music?

Just having Google Play Music open or starting it doesnt do anything. I need to start playing a song with it for any metdata transfer to work.
On PowerAmp I have exactly the same behaviour. Doesnt send anything until I play sth in Play music. I even switched some of the settings in the bluetooth section but couldnt get it to work on its own.
Surely the developers of popular music apps who have AVRCP functionality must know about this problem, in he other thread quite a few other people reported the same problematic I have.

One would assume so, I'll see what I can dig out of the google play music apk but so far its not obvious what might be causing the problem.

I've been trying to get this fixed for a while now. I even made a Tasker profile that would automate the play music trick but that didnt work all too well either.
If you saw the metafy app in the other thread, that doesnt work either for me, the problem seems to be sending metadata via bluetooth, completely unrelated to spotify. If you have anything you want to have tested that could help solving this please dont hesitate to ask me.
Don't work on 4.3 in my S4 neither (stock with root only)

Works with note 3 and pebble!
Works GREAT with VZW Galaxy Note 3 (stock 4.3 MJ7) and Pebble's stock music controller! Thanks so much!!! Put up a beer link soon!
Dear All,
I am padfone s ww user with latest lollipop. When i use mxplayer to play video, most of the time it will use software decode. If hw is availabe, the beginning of the video will have a broken image for few seconds. In addition, when i use ds file to access my nas and ply video on the harddisc, it won't allow me to fast forward. Does anyone know how to enable hw+ on padfone s? It always said hw+ is not support. Anyway to get it works? Thx
Your Lollipop is the unmodified ROM from ASUS? Did you do SKU conversion (i.e. switch between TW and WW)? Your app is MX Player or MX Player Pro? The description in the Play store says that the Pro version is ad-free so I am guessing the functionality otherwise is the same. Mine also has ASUS' latest LP ROM loaded and I use MX Player Pro and this allows me to select HW+ decoder:

To get it to work I just install the app and launch and then open decoder settings and select HW+.
I used to own a New Padfone Infinity (A86) and with that phone neither HW nor HW+ decoders would work. It allowed me to select these but the playback was very choppy.

Thank you. I am on 12.2.2.43 official rom and hard reset has been made after rom upgrade. The phone is come with ww version and i never change it. Just using the free MXplayer. I selected the option as in your screen cap. I can play the movie as normal. Just when i see a moive, I see that it is using software decoding. In that case,movie play fine. Just wonder it will consume more battery. In some case, it allow me to use hw, as I mention, it has 2 second broken screen at the beginning and don't allow me to do fast forward even I move the time bar to the middle of the moive. It never allow me to choose hw+. I am on 1.8.4 beta. But tried 1.7.x and 1.8.6 beta but result is the same.
By the way, i am using the app ds file to access the file in my synology NAS. Don't know if it is a cause this problem.
When I'm watching a movie it shows HW+ switched on. I also have a DiskStation but I use DS Video for watching movies off it. In the screenshots attached here I am playing a movie directly from a microSD card inside the phone and another movie via DS Video.

Thx which version of mx player are u on? Which rom version u on? I do try open movie through DS Video but the result is the same. May be it time to surrender:crying:
I have MX Player Pro version 1.7.40 installed and the phone is running KK from ASUS ROM version 11.10.7.11.
This is the version that the phone came preloaded with and also the version I've found to be most stable with least bugs. I have tried LP and MM and haven't found them to be giving good enough new features to balance up for the greater number of problems that comes along.

I think my problem is caused by LP then . I did not aware that whether this issue exist before i upgrade. Thank you for your help these days.
Your problem may be something else. Today I played around with LP and MM, just to try these out for a few hours. HW+ decoder works in both in MX Player Pro.
But these ROMs are so bad - bitter and angry tears - a sigh of relief when I'm back on KK again.
I wish JB was available for the PFS. This was the best ROM on my previous Padfone, the NPFI.
