[TUT] Installing Cloud to device for google Chrome & Firefox HERE!

Google Chrome to Phone Extension enables you to send the link for the current open tab to your Android device. Simply
click on the phone icon and the link will be pushed to your device. You will be required to log in with the same account used by
your Android device.
Setup instructions
GOOGLE CHROME!!!
----------------------
Download the Google Chrome to Phone Extension for your Google Chrome browser HERE
Download the Google Chrome to Phone Extension application to your Android device from HERE (make sure Settings->Applications->Unknown Sources is checked). Note that this application requires Android 2.2 ("Froyo") or later.
Start the Google Chrome to Phone Extension application on the phone.

When you send a maps link to your phone, it just sends whatever is in your address bar, which is probably just maps.google.com if you're getting a blank map on your phone.
Click the "Link" button in the top right corner, copy the link in the box, paste into a new tab, THEN click send to phone, and voilà!

Paul coming in with the clutch play. thanks man

Is there anyway to push directions directly to the Maps App or does everything have to be opened in the phone browser?
Thanks!

should automatically do that when you check Launch browser/maps directly on the app on your device

It doesn't There for you have to use the alternate method

If you prefer Firefox, here is the link to that version instead
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/161940/

I'll just post this encase other people run into this problem. If you are copying and pasting the maps link make sure you are using maps.google.com I tried it with google.com/maps and the copy past link wouldn't work.
Hope this helps!

That's fabulous, thanks for the heads-up! Is this the extension and app from google itself? why is it then so rudimentary compared to the keynote demo?

Is it me, or are the notifications for this permanatly on full blast?

Potentially, I believe so, but you would need to write something up. Not sure what all commands are allowed from the cloud API

Hell yeah man, thanks a lot. I've been looking for this since I got the update.

If you use pauls method of copying the link to your browser It should already do that, as long as you checked that box in the app on the phone, that allows you to do so

[CONFIRMED] New Google Market working with MarketAccess in Canada

I just rooted my I9100 XXKG3 Bell phone with CF-Root and installed MarketAccess to allow downloading of US restricted apps. The cool part about this app is that it actually works with the new market version. Notice how my Bell Canada Galaxy S2 phone shows as being enabled into Market:
{

"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
So far I installed Google+, Books, Music and TV Remote (I plan to get Google TV soon), all working perfectly with my US Google Apps account. So it is possible to get/use US based applications in Canada.
For those interested to learn more how I did it, I use StrongVPN as service for a US IP address in New York and have a Cisco E4200 DD-WRT router connected to my Netgear ProSafe VPN Firewall SRXN3205 router. In this way, I get the best of worlds... a wireless Canadian and US IP address. I got this setup going originally because I wanted to see all the US based movies for Netflix on my TV, while in Canada. I used a free Google Apps account and set it to United States as base country. I can sync now my mail, contacts, music, videos, etc. with one single custom account (@yqed.com) on both my Samsung Galaxy S2 and Tab. For paid apps, I use my regular Canadian credit card, it works fine to purchase any apps. The key (I think) is the Google Apps account to be set in United States.
Here are some screenshots:

hmm... i'm using the latest Android Market and /or Google Market and i don't even need to do any of that
it works just fine in Windmobiles

Do any of US restricted apps install and actually work for you? You have a Canadian provider SIM card in your phone? One thing is sure, it does not work with Bell... as soon I disable the MarketAccess, all US apps are gone. All my restricted apps work properly, for example I'm able to sync music from my PC to all my devices with Google Music. The songs pop right away into app. I was also able to rent and watch a video from Google Videos, not that I plan to use this service but still...

More updates... I noticed that even if I disable the MarketAccess, I still have full access to restricted apps in my browser. I removed the app, did a cache cleanup with CWM and restarted the phone. The apps are not visible anymore into Market but I was able to install fine Google Videos from the browser. That is nice... Let see if Google remembers my fake carrier forever.

Has Google lifted market restrictions? I just tried searching for an app that before I was restricted to and I was surprised to see I can download it now!

Heh, really? What app was it? Before installing the MarketAccess today, I was getting the dreadful "This item cannot be installed in your device's country" message.

Ooops... not really, maybe just the app became available, still can't access Google Music... too bad

That is easy to fix, you only need a VPN provider. Then it will work.
The secret is to actually have the router running as VPN server, or else your app will detect the Non-US IP and fail miserably. DD-WRT does that very nice.

will try that but how about if I'm away from the router? Will MarketEnabler do the trick for Google Music?

You only need MarketAccess (MarketEnabler is confirmed not to work with the new Market version) to install the Music app and you need an US IP to configure it for the first time into your phone. This is critical, using a VPN directly into your phone won't work. If the app detects an non-US IP, it will not enable the streaming features over a Google account. Once the software link is created to your account, you can use/stream music from any IP in the world. It would be pretty useless to have the app if Google allows you to download your music ONLY when you are in States.
I tested the app to upload new songs from PC with my Canadian IP, as well streaming music on the Music app. It works as intended. This how the app streams a 320kpbs song:
This is how the app widget looks like:

I see... Thanks for the heads up, will get to setting up a US vpn first prior installation. The app looks really cool, something to look forward to.

VPN on Fire Stick with Alexa.

Hi;
I have a fire stick with alexa.
I would like to use Prime Video, but I can not because I am in Spain.
I have tried several VPN apps, but none works for me.
Can you help me?
Regards.

What VPN are you using? I use PIA and Prime works fine on the UK Southampton gateway but it's blocked on the London one so it might be worth trying a few different gateways.

I tested FreeVPN, TurboVPN, Hola VPN, SuperVPN and Ultrasurf. None worked.
PIA I have not tried it because it is paid.

Any free solution?

Never used this service. But the only free option I can think off is WindScribe VPN free 50 GB monthly thru SD's code. You will need an offer per device & you can only use an App to access it. No OpenVPN on the free accounts.

I've never used them so can't comment on this possible solution specifically. So let us know how it goes & if you find any roadblocks, etç

Just checked & the Android APP & OpenVPN are only for Pro/Paid accounts. They do promise to release a version for a free account on Android by the end of (2nd Quarter) June 2017.

Thanks! I'll wait for the app for the free licenses.
Another option I have thought is to configure in a router with openwrt one VPN account. Do you think that would work?

As long as Amazon has not blacklisted that VPN's IP addresses. It should. We mostly hear of Netflix aggressively targeting VPN's. Don't remember hearing much about Prime & VPN's.
I would try to get the 50gb free account(S) now in case the free upgrade code becomes inactive by June.

Thank you. I registered and used the code to get the 50gb account.
I think I'll wait for the app for free accounts.
Thanks for all.

np, remember to share your experience once you test out their service/app/solution here.

I have bought PIA and it doesn't work.
I have tried the UK Southampton gateway and the New York gateway.
When I want to play any prime video appears "Video Unavailable"
I have downloaded the Prime Video app on my mobile and in my chinese android box and it works without VPN, but I tried to do the same with my firestick and it doesn't allow the installation.
Can you help me?

Are you blocking updates thru your Router or OpenDNS ?

I think I know where the problem is.
I pay the premium account in Spain, and when I try to watch a movie, I get the error message because I do not pay the US premium account.
It is curious, because I use the application from the mobile, pressing the option to "play a movie in firestick" and works perfectly.
I tried to update the Prime video app for the one that is in the Play Store of Spain, but it does not let me update.
From what I've read, it cannot be root this device.

Can sombody please tell me why all the links for sports does not work for me or is there something i can do to fux this. Everything else works fine just anything to do woth sport the gear comes up then go away and nothing please help

Half-Life 2

Has anyone else attempted launching hl2 on their switch? I've once managed to see to valve intro with sound but it crashed shortly before reaching any menus. I've reinstalled it and now it no longer crashes and I can hear the valve intro sounds but I receive this error:

Before getting this error I have attempted to use gltools without any obvious success.

Have not tried HL2 specifically, but Portal has been running very well for me. Also—I have the same error message pop up when the main menu loads in Portal, *but* it has no effect on gameplay, the game, menu and levels still load just fine.
I'll download HL2 and give that a try to see if I can get it to work.
Edit: One issue I do have even with Portal running well otherwise is that there are black bars on the right side and bottom of the screen. I think it has something to do with the nav bars, but it still happens even if I hide the nav bar.

If you installed shieldfier and still says incompatible you can install a magisk module called "_something_ a road to vendor apps" can't recall the full name.

Hmm it's not showing for me on the store. If i find it through google it says the app isn't compatible with my device anymore. I installed the shieldifier.zip again and still the same problems

Yea having the same issue with metal gear rising. I guess someone will have to find a work around. I tried to use lucky patcher but could get anything to work. If someone could try it also that would be great.

so... no luck? what is shieldfier? what about the module?

shieldfier is a flashable zip so your switch will be identified as nvidia shield.
It is in the first post of (Unofficial) Android release
https://forum.xda-developers.com/ni...opment/rom-switchroot-lineageos-15-1-t3951389

So I bought HL2 Portal and Metal Gear Rising on my Switch via Google Play Store. If I use app screen resize to force resolution to 1920x1120 everything works perfect docked or in portable mode for HL2 and Portal. No matter what I try I cannot get my legal Metal Gear Rising to validate with Nvidia after it logs into the correct Google Play account. I read an app called Lucky Patcher can help but I don't know how to use it...

Question to people who have played HL2 and Portal on the Switch: is it possible to aim using motion controls (gyro aiming)?
And, by the way, did anybody manage to make Metal Gear Rising work?

I don't think the gyro works, because the game was developed to be used with the Nvidia Shield Controller, not Joy-Cons. Got to Ravenholm, but not having true analog on the Joy-Cons is a little frustrating.
I had the same verification problems with Metal Gear Solid 3 HD. Tried a bunch of stuff with Lucky Patcher, but no luck

[SOLVED] Amazon/Alexa Apps SSL certificate Error

Alexa nagged me about Chrome needing it's certificate updated, Amazon shopping just kept on saying an error had occurred.

I was resigned to the fact it just wouldn't work.
I turned off Adaway ad blocking and the Alexa app works

Absolutely sick and tired of Amazon.
The amount of money that guy makes from people buying from Amazon and he wants adverts to be forced or things don't work.
He reminds me of the bad guy from Ready Player One.
A complete douche kebab.
PS: yea the fix is to disable adaway, but I pray someone finds a way round that.
I absolutely loathe ads.

If anyone is curious, you don't have to turn the integrated web server off to use Amazon. Just add *amazon* to the Allowed list, hit apply and reboot.
