Has anyone had any luck getting the Pulse app to work on the rooted NST? I used to be able to search + download it from the Market, but now its not visible at all!
I sideloaded it, and it will update just fine in the Market, but in the Market when I click "open" it will say "the specifed link cannot be found".
In older versions of the app, I could at least see the main screen, tap on articles to read them... just couldn't scroll through the list. Now it will load with the Pulse loading screen, and nothing more. Silence on the end of the Pulse folks.
Anyone have either an APK of the original version from it was first released, or know how to tinker with compatible device settings in APK files?

Hi,
I'm a newbie to Android. Got my Nexus 4 few weeks ago and am very pleased with it so far (except for the BT Audio problem).
I have many applications marked with "auto update" enabled.
Quite frequently, I get the "Updated Successfully" notification, when apps are updated.
... but how do I find out what's changed?
When an app is not updated automatically, I can see it in the play store, and the release notes are usually informative enough to show what's new. But when the app is automatically updated, there's no easy way to see those notes.
Any idea as to what can be done?
Or am I doomed to search for 'facebook' on the play store, whenever it's updated, just to search for the release notes there?
You can still go to the play store and view whats new in the current version of any particular app, even if it has already been updated on your device.
Thanks for the response.
Sure, but there's no way to get there easily.
If you click the "updated successfully" notification, the app loads.
If you long-click it, you get the "play store" app info, not the app that was updated.
The only way is to actively search for the app in the play store, that's a tedious process, especially if you have multiple apps updated.
If you don't mark apps to be auto updated, you can load the play store, see a list of the apps that need updating, and each click will show you what's new... it's actually easier.
Or am I missing something?
Push the menu button in the play store, and then my apps. All of your apps magically appear for you to click and see the release notes.

Got it!
Thanks!
So I read that there are more than a few apps that can be install and work on the Nexus Player but don't show up in it's store, specifically Crunchyroll is the app i'm talking about, now it did in fact install it and it works, but it doesn't show up on the app list on the main page, to open it I have to dig down in the menu to installed apps in the settings menu and run it from there, is there any way to get it to show up properly on the main page?

Chainfire made an app just for this purpose:
PlayStore: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=eu.chainfire.tv.sideloadlauncher&hl=en
XDA News: http://www.xda-developers.com/android/chainfire-sideload-applications-android-tv/
Thread Home: http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/app-sideload-launcher-android-tv-t2914962
After posting I realized that I didn't fully answer your question. Any app can be made to show up, it just needs to be coded into each app individually. I'm still trying to find it, but it is a "Leanback Announce" line that needs to be added, but using the SideLoad Launcher is much easier!
Awesome, thanks!

Your observation about the PlayStore has been made by digixmax recently. I don't have a solution for that one. I still get a lot of (sometimes useless) apps on a search. You can use a computer to access the Store and have the app sent to your device.
I can confirm that both the Amazon App Store and the Kindle app are broken. You can still read local content with the Kindle app.
You can also get apps from direct-download sources and side load them.

It's remotely possible someone may tinker with the apps but unlikely. You might as well remove the Amazon App Store. If you have local .mobile content the Kindle app could still be useful.
Edit: Could you try something with Search Market? I did a search on "Kindle" and got 250 hits today. Use the menu "button" to access Settings and see if your app filter is too restrictive. I have mine set for all apps, but that does tend to give a lot of junk after the initial near hits. Maybe that's why people are getting so few hits?

Did you mean Search Market's Settings?
I am not able to get to Settings using the menu button.

Yes. When you start Search Market you get a keyboard and a blank search field. The menu button does nothing there. Directly to the left of the search field is a "button" that takes you to a more typical Market screen where, among other things you can look at "My Apps" for your NST. It's on this screen that the menu button wiil bring up Settings.
I don't know that I ever changed the restrictions on what kinds of apps to display but it occurred to me recently that this might be the issue you and others have been seeing. It's worth a shot, anyway.

When I do this, what I get (at the screen bottom) are "Search", "Downloads", and "Help", but no "Settings".
I am using the SearchMarket version you attached to your post here, so perhaps this behavior disparity has to do with my NST running on 1.2.1 as opposed to 1.1.2?

I have always run FW 1.21.
This whole thing just gets curiouser. I went back for a closer look and that "button" I mentioned actually calls the Market app (AFAICS) and it's there that I get a "settings" option along with the others you mention. There is a filter in the settings for what kinds of apps to display but I don't know to what extent the apps interact (if at all), and in any case, changing the filter setting seemed to have no effect. I still got many, many results from a search using Search Market.
So I went back to the original GApps post to see if the package had been updated since I did my install. Certainly the file name is the same and the size seems to be the same. There is some talk there about changing the way you sign into the Market, etc., but it's not clear to me when that changed and I rooted my NST with NookManager so long ago (or so it seems to me) that I just can't remember. I do still have the original zip of the Gapps Attack file, FWIW.
My "Market" app is 4.03 MB on the NST but there's no obvious version number anywhere I can see. However replacing that one seems risky since the whole sign-in thing with Google is so tricky.
I'm stumped. As clunky as the Search Market app is, it has been useful to me because it only displays apps that have the potential to run under Android 2.1. I went through many, many apps when I was looking for a sound recording app that would work well and create mp3 files. Using Search Market shortened what was already a tedious process.
So,
Yesterday I got this banner ad towards the bottom of the screen. It has an "opt out" tab at the bottom right. You click on this and it loads a web page that prompts you to install an app, use it then delete the app. Obviously didn't download the app.
Anyone else having this? Here's a pic.
This will be coming from an app you have installed. Check the apps you recently installed, it will be one of them.
Yeah, problem is I've been quite busy installing lately!
I've installed adguard and I think it may have worked. Ad popped up, but not filled in, then disappeared.
Score!
Try installing AirPush Detector. This can uually detect which apps are pushing out ads.
Well, airpush stops halfway through. Sent a report log to the developer. Maybe they can figure out.
Try Addons Detector. This also helps to find apps that are pushing ads.
Just press scan. After the scan, select 'Addons' and choose "Push Notifications" from the drop down (though I believe it is selected by dault)
Thank you. I've never had this problem, so I've never looked into these types of apps.
solved on my wife's samsung galaxy A5 2016
i clicked on one of the ads and a web page for the advertiser opened in a built-in in-app browser. i then pressed the application switcher button and it showed that the page had opened in an app called file manager.
i uninstalled file manager and then wiped application cache (turn phone off; then turn on by holding in power button + home button + volume up, when phone vibrates release power key but keep volume up and home key depressed).
note that adds ons detector nor airpush detector yielded positive results.
note that my wife is fairly (she says 99% sure) she did not install the file manager app - it most likely updated (theory). we both suspect the app came pre-installed on the phone. i was using the file manager app to browse her files and it seemed fairly legit as an app - it worked as one expects a file manager app to work.
note her phone is not rooted.
solved

I had the same problem...... tried everything but didn't get any results. I uninstalled "Bluetooth app sender" and everything was back to normal. No more floating ads.
I'm using h2os, latest update on my oneplus x e1001. I googled and it seems like there should be some app named "Downloads" or so, i just dont have it, neither do i have any options in chrome regarding downloads at all. Hope you can help me out.
It's there, but hidden from the app drawer. Whenever you download something from the net, the "downloading xxx" appears in the pull down status bar notifications. One click on it and the download app will open....
Dead Cookies leave no trails...
I just tried to download something, but clicking on the notification will just open it. As for pressing it would pop up some notification related thing.
Get a file manager, you'll find your files under downloads in the internal storage.
I have the default one but i moved some files and cant remember where. Thought there is such thing as a download manager just like in chrome on pc. Im a little dissapointed
