Is there anyway to Download Samsungs Media Hub?? - Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Im getting a nexus 7 for christmas, and im wondering if there is anyway to get samsungs media hub app on it. I have the Galaxy s3 and since they gave us The Avengers movie through media hub, it would be nice to be able to watch it on the Nexus 7 when i get it.

More than likely not. I'm sure it relies on touchwiz framework so even if side loaded it wouldn't work possibly. But you're free to try. If your gs3 is rooted pull the media hub app from /system/app and put it on the nexus 7 and install it. If it doesn't install push it to /system/app and set permissions on it and reboot. All of which will require root. Of course.

Allshare

Allshare will come with the official TW update along with all the useless samsung apps/widgets...
I would wait for the OTA to come out and wait for someone to pull the apk
Till then we're all S.O.L
I got an Allshare apk and downloaded it on my rooted Tab (limited edition). moved it in the Apps directory and even changed the permissions but no luck, so probably have to wait, or does someone got any suggestions
I've tested a pre release 8.9 with a newer firmware, It had the AllShare client. the 10.1 eurospec device did not, and does not after the release. AllShare will be added to the device as a firmware update later on.
Just use Skifta from the market (it s free) untill Allshare gets added via firmware update. I have Allshare on my Galaxy S but I prefer Skifta so unless Qualcomm makes Skifta a payed app i'll keep using it anyway.
We want allshare samsung!

[Q] Nexus Q apk?

for w/e reason it's not letting me find the app in Google Play. perhaps my ROM (AOPK)
does anyone know a way to get the apk? I just got my Nexus q
update:
I installed Jelly Bean and was able to download it
If the apk isn't locked to your device (with the encryption they announced at I/O) - can you post it? I'd love to have a peek inside!
Questions go in the Q&A section - not the Dev section
The google play description of the nexus q app claims that will work on anything with gingerbread and above, the app right now appears to only work and be listed for jelly bean devices

I installed a JellyBean Rom on my Verizon Galaxy Nexus for it to work.
here is the apk from a Titanium Backup it probably wont work lol but you never know

Thanks for posting the apk. I was unable to get it from the Play store as it's unavailable in Canada at the moment (seems silly, but whatever). I installed the app from your link and it works great! I'm listening to music on my Q as I type this.
glad to hear it actually works. I had my friend try it out on his G2x with no luck so I wasn't sure

What is yours android version?
Crud, I just bought a Q on E-Bay thinking I would get it quicker (it was also about $100 cheaper) than waiting for Google to ship me one but the APK won't install on my Bionic running the leaked ICS build. The Q application in the Play Store also says it's not compatible with either of my devices (the other being a Xoom running ICS) even though the description says it's compatible with Gingerbread and above. I assume that when the Q actually starts shipping they will fix this issue with the market application but my brilliant plan to get a Q sooner will be for naught!
I know its ridiculous but part of me is tempted to go buy a Nexus 7 or Galaxy Nexus off of Ebay so I'll have something to control this with when it gets here!

I would just wait or else buy a Galaxy Nexus. My kids have Galaxy Nexus phones so I just rooted theirs and installed JB to work with my Nexus Q. The original shipments of the Nexus Q were supposed to ship 2-3 weeks from Google I/O so the app should be available anytime.
I think it is dumb for Google to not have it available now. If I was a developer who got it free I would want to be able to try it out with my friends. After all it is supposed to be a social media device. It restricts the social aspect if it is only available on JB devices.

I wonder if they have it restricted to JB to try to prevent developers from selling theirs, if so I don't think it's working very well based on the number of them on eBay - LOL.
I'm going to be really bummed later this week when I get my Q and have nothing to control it with though.
I wonder if the problem is just the API level it's looking for or if there is something actually missing in ICS that prevents it from running properly with the current build.
Pretty sure it is somehow country specific in Play.
I was unable to install the apk to my JB Nexus 7 which I got at I/O. Being at home in Sweden. I was also unable to install it on my ICS Gnexus with a Telenor sim-card. I was however able to install it on my JB Gnexus (the one I got at I/O) which had my T-mobile sim-card.
I purchased two of these devices on ebay.
But I can't use them because I don't have JB device!
The above APK did not work on a rooted AT&T Galaxy Note with ICS.
I called and talked to google, and they said the non-JB package would be released when the product ships.
Just received the one I bought off of eBay and it sure is pretty - too bad I can't use it yet!
Any developer that can get the apk working on ICS before the official release from Google would get an automatic and significant donation from me (as well as my eternal gratitude)!
Despite my incredible lack of experience (absolutely 0) I did manage to get the apk to install on a couple ICS devices after modifying the manifest, rebuilding, resigning and re validating it (I will add my thanks to all the people's tools I used to do this later, I promise!!). I have it running on my unlocked and rooted LTE Xoom with the released ICS build and my Bionic running locked and unrooted leaked ICS. Both are a bit flakey however and both are telling me I need to update the Play Music application even though I've manually upgraded both to the 4.3.605 build. I did manage to get them to go through the network setup page and say it connected, showed services as Movies and YouTube but then both show it unavailable. I've reset the Q a couple of times and went back through the setup but so far I still can't manage it from either device. Right now my brain is cooked so I'll have to try it again tomorrow afternoon! Thanks for everyone here for their amazing contributions, I really hope the Q becomes a legend in Android history (in a very good way).
Ok, this is the APK on my rooted Verizon GNex, I'm using a ROM with JB to control my Q.
Hope it helps...
Well, I'm still stuck in the same place as yesterday but I decided to upload my modified APK in case anyone wants to try it on their ICS device.
WARNING!! I don't know what I'm doing and only managed to get this far thanks to awesome tools from others - use this file at your own risk!!!!!!!!!
If anyone can look at this thing and figure out why it won't let me connect to the Q after initial connection that would be awesome but I'm guessing that's not very likely either.
Thanks to: Kornyone his awesome work so far and telling me that changing the manifest got it working on his ICS device, Raziel123x for the Apk Multi-tool I used to sign this after modifying it and to iBotPeaches and Brut.all for the apktools. I apologize if I'm making you look bad with my unsuccessful efforts to use your excellent work.
Well, I've made a little bit of progress as I can now connect to the Q and change some rudimentary settings like HDMI, Optical, Brightness, etc. but it still tells me I need to upgrade the Play Music application, takes me to the Play Store and that of course tells me I have the latest build. Neither the Play Music or YouTube applications have the little button at the top to make it play on the Q. I also don't see anywhere to enable USB debugging as some others have been able to do, I was going to unlock it but can't access it via ADB without debugging turned on. Am I just missing that option somewhere else in the menu? It's not covered in the help topics at all.
I'm slightly pleased with myself for even getting it to install and connect but now I'm stuck again. :crying:
Any suggestions (other than buying a JB device or just waiting for the official app from el goog)?

[Q] Please answer my questions?

Hello everyone!
I have been a proud owner of a Samsung Galaxy S i9000 for almost 2 years (haha, proud owner...), and Asus Transformer Prime for 5 months (actually a pretty awesome device). I have just recently decided to sell both of these (getting a very amazing price for both) and deciding to go all Nexus, since I have been told that Nexus devices are the first to get updates and are generally the best investment.
Now, I am planning to buy the Galaxy Nexus and the Nexus 7 tablet. I have the following questions for both devices. Please reply with respect to each device:
- Can I transfer files from my PC to these devices, just like I have been able to do so with my previous devices?
- Do these devices have the same Android file management? I.e on my previous devices it was neccessary for me to make several different folders in my documents folder corresponding to my courses, and then transfer files such as PDFs, docs, pics etc. to them. Can I do the same with these devices? And also open them with some sort of file manager?
- Do these devices support TV-out? One of my biggest need for previous devices was Netflix streaming, and sometimes downloading torrents (hey don't look at me, Netflix's collection sucks ) and then playing them back to my TV. Can I do this with these devices?
And also need just a general opinion; I really only had the following combined primary uses of my devices: Web Browsing, Calls, Texts, PDFs notes, Games, and Netflix/movie playback onto my TV. Do you think with these two Nexus babies, would I be able to do all of these tasks?
Nexus devices are fantastic. after the nexus one i never looked back.
1) the galaxy nexus and the nexus 7 are MTP devices so yes.
2) yes they do. just use a file manager like es file explorer. of course you will need to be rooted to have full functionality though.
3) shouldn't be a problem with a rooted galaxy nexus but so far it's a no go for the nexus 7...we'll see...
you won't regret having both devices.

Thank you for your prompt reply. Just one thing; Why do I need to root the Galaxy Nexus in order to use TV-out? And is MTP confirmed on Nexus 7?
So, if all goes well and I get my hands on these, I will use Galaxy Nexus for Calls, SMS, Camera, casual web browsing, music, and Netflix/TV-out and Nexus 7 for PDF notes, heavy web browsing, Skype, Documents, and emails. That sounds fair enough for these devices?
rooting the device will not give you tv-out =( only use of USB drives

[Q] Samsung Apps on Nexus 10?

I know the answer is most likely no but I figured asking won't hurt. I have a few apps from the Samsung app store and wondered if I can get them somehow to my Nexus 10. (they are paid apps not available on the Google store). I got a Tb copy of the. Apk straight from my phone but it checks the license on my Tab and fails (of course).
So can I activate Samsung apps on the Nexus 10?

Many of the Samsung apps need the framework from touchwiz to function too.

Nexus 7(v.1 2012) - Make it usable?

Hi,
I want my son(4 years old) to use the Nexus 7 tablet, and I think i need to root it and do some modeification. I need a ROM that has only the most necassary apps. The tablet will only be used with some apps, and watching movie files and some audio files.
Is there a recommended setup for this? I guess I'm not the first guy to do this? I run v 5.0.2 now, and I think it runs ok.
EDIT: I only need Play app from the google apps
Sometimes I think they are going out of their way to mess up the old Nexus 7. I've had mine a long time, rooted it and have been using official CyanogenMod releases all with the same number of apps and the N7 keeps getting slower and slower. The only thing I can think of is that all the built in apps just get more bloated with each update and I don't see any benefit, actually I see the opposite.
You might try the 5.1.1 update. That helped my N7
