Never going to happen, sky's inbuilt protection is ridiculously good now. We cannot even edit the app anymore as it does a server side check for a particular signature.

So were gonna have to wait another year for Sky to make it work with JB, they're so slow its ridiculous.

Look at the Xbox 360 Sky Go player still hasnt had an update to change it with a metro style. I am not holding my breath.

I dont think sky are slow its just sky prefer iphone over android.

No the problem is sky don't trust android users so they spend too long on trying to build protection into the apps.

SkyGo on Note
I have the original Note running ICS which I run SkyGo on using a side loaded APK.
I guess the issue is the O/S rather than device as GT-N7000 isn't a supported device either.

I work for Sky and I'm currently beta testing the app and it does work on both the note 2 and on jb. See my post on the themes and apps section. The current version of Sky Go in Google Play does work on the original running ICS

lets not get peoples hopes up regarding root though. Sky will always block this for no legtimate reason (although they quote that it is because their content providers are worried about copyright infringement, which is nonsense as jailbroken iphones still use the same app).

So when will it be ready.
I paid a lot of money for the note 2... And pay a lot of money to sky from the subscription.

I'll try to address all concerns here. I don't think Sky will ever allow the app to work on rooted devices. Not sure why though, beat in mind I work in sales, I'm only testing the app. As to when it's available, I'm not sure. It's in phase 2 of beta testing right now. Also bear in mind, Sky Go is a free app. You pay for what you get on the tv, the app is an added bonus. I will ask though about the rooting issue and as soon as I get an answer I'll post on here
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda premium

I dont see the issue with rooting tbh....seen as though sky go is all server based (you cant hack it to get a free account etc) I dont see why they blocked rooted devices from opening the app in the first place :duh:

Nexus 7 or Galaxy tab 2 7.0

Hello XDA,
im having a hard time deciding whether to get the nexus 7 or the Galaxy tab2 7.0. what are your thoughts. How do you like your Nexus 7? Thanks in advance.

Dude the galaxy tab is pretty slow imo, nexus 7 is a better choice

Thanks bro. I played with the tab last night and thought it was pretty fast. Obvious speed difference but nothing major' however I bought the nexus 7 16gb so far so good. I'm loving the speed and smoothness. Only one issue. I accepted the update to 4.1.2 and was wondering if anyone knows a workaround for adobe flash player? As always Thanks again xda!

imo the nexus 7 is way superior in terms of hardware and software, not to mention developer support and google support, being a nexus device
Only thing the Samsung has over the N7 is a rear camera but it has, to me, been done as a precaution as to not look like an idiot.

If you're still running the standard 'out of the box' ROM I presume you're running Chrome? Chrome doesn't support flash.
Try a different browser that supports it. (Sorry I can't post links yet but the old Dolphin HD 8.5.1 does I believe)
Flash also works fine with any alternative ROM (Like Paranoid Android) you care to put on the device - using the ROM's supplied browser

The latest dolphin does not support flash.
Either download an older one
Or use the AOSP browser, I find that best for flash support for some reason.

All is good. Rooted via toolkit, then installed aosp stock browser and flash. Thanks all!

Help with getting flash to work....apk file

I searched the forum about getting Flash to work on the Nexus 10 and the thread said to go to the Nexus 7 forums and do it with the steps over there....which I think I did.
I downloaded three.apk fikes and put them on my tablet.....an Adobe Flash .apk file that ends in 152, a "Hulafied" .apk file, and a Adobe Air .apk file. I tapped the files individually and it appeared they installed properly....or at least they went through the motions of a proper install.
But when I go to some sites, I am still getting that lego looking icon which I assume are flash animations/movies.
Am I downloading the wrong files?

You just need the flash app and a browser that supports the flash plugin. You also need to enable plugin loading for that browser. Boat supports it as does the AOSP browser. Chrome does not.

I have the Boat Browser and when I look in my apps, I have the little Flash player icon. I'm still getting the little lego icon though on some sites.

You have to enable it in boat. Go to the settings in boat and then page content settings and enable flash. Exit and exit boat. Start it again and test your web page.

Yes, unfortunately I did that I went to this flash test site and still just little legos.

Do you have a link to the .apk file you use? Maybe I need to uninstall and try a different .apk file?

Chrome has problems with re-rendering pages, with multitasking - even with the 2GB of RAM. Whereas on stock browser (old), the pages are always open :/

Try naked browser it's really fast someone on xda made it to

solution perhaps
I had slow chrome browsing experience on ATT and then added "internet" to my APN settings (default,supl,mms,hipri,internet)
And all is well. My APN settings are for ATT 4g PTA

I feel that chrome us fast, and it then again ANYTHING feels light speed when you're used to using Sprints crappy 3G...
The only problem I see in from is that it has no flash support, is there any way to get flash enabled on this phone? I already got the latest flash player APK...
Thank you!

[OT] Why don't phone internet browsers work on XDA anymore??

I noticed about 4 months ago, Chrome on my S3 didn't like XDA.... So I used Firefox with no issues.
Then I had a LG Optimus G Pro (for about 1 week) with same results, so I used Firefox.
On my HTC One, neither Chrome or Firefox works on XDA, only the stock browser worked.
Now on my S4, I've tried all three and none of them work?
The page will load....... I can log in, but every time I scroll, the page reloads, which basically makes it unusable now...... Anybody else run into this problem?

Perhaps they are trying to get everyone to Tapatalk. It's a very good app.
