[Q] running YouTube in the background - Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

hi everyone. my apologies for asking a question I'm sure has been asked many times before. I want to run my browser or YouTube app whilst doing other things. as an example, I would like to play a song from Firefox on YouTube whilst sketching on Sketchbook pro. all the info I've read around this problem doesn't really solve the problem. I tried downloading the maxathon browser which works as long as I am still in said browser. is there any way of using my tablet in a similar way to a PC or Mac or is this the price we have to pay? thanks in advance

[Q] Need a good Soccer Hightlights App

Hi guys, could someone please recommend a good working app for football/soccer highlights. I've tried using stock browser as well as other browsers to view highlights but would prefer apps instead. Found some like the Goal TV app but never seem to display the video on screen. I would very much appreciate it if someone could recommend a functional app. Thanks
Use browser to go to ESPN3.

Noob questions

So liking the nexus 7 so far got a couple of questions that I can't seem to find in the manual or online
Home screen - Music is still using the default album art placeholder - although in the music app itself shows the album art correctly.
I've been into settings and apps and cleared the music app data - but its not updated the home page
Any ideas?
Also the google IO keynote where it showcased two games - dead trigger and Horn? - ive found dead trigger but cannot find the other one...
Dont know if anyone else watched it but any ideas what its called? on vid its 12.30mins in.
(cant link youtube due to age of account)
Thanks in advance for any replies

Next Browser?

Has anybody been using this browser on Nexus 4? I started and I really like it; less hangups than chrome, better interface (I like the disappearing url bar) than dolphin imo.
However, I noticed that it seems to be giving a wakelock any time a page has been opened, but the window has not been cleared from the recent apps list (this is all according to BBS).
I was just wondering if other N4 users had experienced this or used this app, and what your opinion on it was. Also, is there a different browser for the N4 you guys would recommend?

I use Boat Browser, supports flash player and loading time is quick imo. Also has a very nice UI.
Go launcher team...

I`m a next browser user. Realy like it, fast and easy to use. And when i browse the web i get a popup message to use tapatalk if the web site support it. I know chrome also got this, but i find it not to work so well.
Yes, i have noticed that it got some wake locks. But not for long, its also possible to exit the app easy from setting menu

I had been using Next for a while now. But a couple days ago I replaced it with Firefox because Next had trouble downloading some files from Drive. If there was other aberrant behavior it wasn't noticable to me in use.
I use Chrome, but you can try Firefox or Opera. Every browser has its own advantages and disadvantages.

Istalling apps on a rooter nook simple touch

Hi
I used NookManager to root the device, but I dont know how to install more apps mainly apps like cool reader. aldiko etc., I can see Amazon app store but not Google Play Store - How do I go about this, do I need to first Google Play Store app first from some other source and start downloading other apps via that?
Also, I wanted to have the no refresh to be activated to reduce the screen refresh and flashing. How to do this please.
I also saw this video on YouTube:here. Please advice me as to how to achieve this,
I want pinch zoom to view comics and magazines with heavy layout and images while still maintaining the font resize feature typical to e-reader.
thanks

Anyone out there?

If you continue reading that thread I linked to there's instructions on how to get Google apps on the device. I personally use Dropbox for uploading apps to and then download them to the Nook.

Why there's so few app in Play store ?

Hi,
I don't understand why only few app are available in Play store ? Is it only a problem of non-touch device ?
For an app like Connectbot (as JuiceSSH), touch device is not required I think, so why is it not present in play store ?
Thanks.
Being a non touch device is part of it. Also some games and apps are also exclusive to certain android tvs.
Many apps including paid (provided your play account has the app license) apps can be sideloaded if you extract the apk from another Android device. Sideloaded touch apps usually need a mouse. I prefer using a Logitech k400r for sideloaded apps.
Also devs need to specifically mark the app is compatible with the forge in the play store. Another issue is the on device app browsing and search of the play store is pretty weak. You may have better luck searching and installing via a desktop browser

Thanks you for this details. I will try some apks (and search in browser, but it's in my browser I saw incompatibility for SSH apps).
I've a probably stupid question but... how can you use a k400r to emulate touch ? Using a touchpad is like always putting your finger on screen :/

The device registers a touch only when you click on the touchpad/mouse.
Yeah I would love for then to step up the apps. Firetv is Android but they have more apps available
