Is it possible to get the tablet version of youtube on the nexus 7 without rooting the device and playing about with the settings??
Thanks,
Mike.
It depends if your current YouTube app is located in the system folder then no you cannot

Is there a way that I will can to install Whatsapp for my Nexus 7?
I don't know of a way to make it work on the N7. Their website says tablets are not supported, but you can download it from whatsapp.com/android.

It's possible only on rooted devices. You need to use another device that's compatible with WhatsApp, or an emulator like YouView to install it the first time and link it to your number. Then, using titanium backup or similar, freeze the app w/ data, and restore it on your rooted nexus 7.
I personally have WhatsApp running on my N7 32GB on v. 4.1.2. Updates to the app need to be done manually by using the apk found on their website.

Use the search function. You get incredible results, like this one.
Do you have the 3g model? Bcoz I installed an old apk which worked fine until today. After that I downloaded the latest apk from whatsapp.com and now that's working too. The message verification succeeded on the old apk in the first try itself..my nexus 7 is rooted but I didn't use titanium backup.. Im using the number that's in my nexus 7.
I didn't think it would work but I thought I would try. I have a 3G N7 that is not rooted, just plain stock jellybean.
I went to the Whatsapp website to download the .apk, opened it with ES file explorer and installed
I prefer the Helium method discribed by virusarus in post #204 here See also here
I recently force installed the new 4.3 update on my Nexus 7 (2012) and i'm starting to see problems that did not occur in the 4.2 version that are occurring in the update. When i play games with it, in the middle of game play, the app crashes a lot and i have to relaunch in order to play, other problems are in my "emulators" my Tiger Arcade emulator stopped supporting some roms and even crashes when some are played, the majority of the roms are fully functional in the 4.2 android update, but now the 4.3 update crashes the emulator, i've only gotten Metal Slug 4 to work along with the neogeo bios file (MAME). Street Fighter 3rd Strike also doesn't work anymore. Any one else having the same problem with their Tiger Arcade?
Is there anything i can do to fix this issue or do i have to wait until the developers of Tiger Arcade fix this Android 4.3 issue?
If there is no way, is it possible i downgrade my Nexus 7 to 4.2 again?
I have no idea on how to fix your problems in games and emulator, but I do know that you can downgrade using the proper images from here https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images

Without any intentions of hijacking this thread, I have a small question.
People who have updated to 4.3, are you guys able to run VPN apps like Hotspot Shield, Hide Ninja etc to work properly? Or even connect at all. ?
I am not being Able to do so and another friend of mine who has unrooted completely stock nexus 7 @ 4.3 ... also reports the same thing.
-------
Another thing, I thought Google has changed the Boot Animation in 4.3.
But why am I still on old (X) animation ?

These are the factory images from Google, so these will return your tablet to how it was when you booted it after installing 4.2.2. You can choose not to wipe the data partition which contains all your data, but this may result into problems when booting. You may want to check out this thread for more info.
Hey guys,
Just got and rooted my nexus player yesterday. Will updating to 5.1 affect my root access? im on stock rom and kernel, just with root access currently
Also trying to get the sling tv app on the player. Anyone have any luck with that?
You can upgrade to 5.1. I can't remember if it lost root after update or not but either way you can just fastboot the root again. Not sure about upgrading to 5.1.1 though. Also if you go to 5.1 foldermount wont work right if you plan on using usb storage for games and ect. As for Sling TV you can sideload the current app from play store and it works just fine.
Hi, first of all, I bought my Nexus Player just to watch Netflix. Since I live in Brazil, at that time Netflix App for Android TV was not available here. Then I had to root my device to get Netflix working. Now Netflix won't work or install again because I rooted my device just to get Netflix! It would be funny if it wasn't so sad.
So, is there a way to make my Nexus Player "original" again, just like it was out of the box and be able to install / update Netflix again?
Thanks.

Since it looks like the methods were recently discovered I am having a hard time finding the answer.
All I want to do is root the tablet and put on any version of android or any rom because I want to be able to use google family and can not get it to work in any form with it as a stock amazon fire.
I am comfortable running through all the steps to get xposed and everything else on it but don't want to yet if no other version of android exist for them ATM.

I am running Google Play Store, YouTube, Whatsapp etc on my stock 2018 Fire HD 8. No root, only unlocked bootloader. Search this Forum. There is even a method to root it via Linux.
