Works for me. Only able to open one page. Multiple tabs won't work for some reason, but native app is nice. Likes fullscreen too.

How did you install it. At 1st I got cannot install so I used root explorer to put it in system apps. That let me install, but all I get is fc when I try to use it

I used Root exp. Try rebooting your phone and see if that works. What way did you try installing the first time before root exp?
Thanks for your help but I can't seem to get it to work. I usually install directly from the download file in astro. I then tried using root explorer.
Thanks for the help though

Is this the version of the program that brings up news stories in the program itself or does this version just display the headlines and opens the stories in the browser?

Yep, I read that the standard version looks for an IMEI number that a tablet like this would not have, while the premium version does not check for that.

I followed the guide pretty everything but it didn't work out for me. The program updates all information in build.proc but not for the IMEI number. The pop up windows shows my SN, no MAC address and IMEI 00-SN, but after the adb it reboots and I found the IMEI still remains blank, XDA app still FC. Tried many times no luck. Please help.

Problem solved by updating the JAVA, realized the issue after reading the original OP carefully. Thanks the guide, it's wonderful.
I had the same problem with the XDA app Force Closing on my Rooted Kindle Fire, still on the stock ROM. Sounds like the easy fix is just to purchase the premium which I intended to do but had wanted to check out the free app first. If you guys say premium is working good then I'm going to get it.

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.

Enable tethering on LG G3 D850

Got this from the G2 thread so I take no credit. Just tried it out and it works 100% thought I'd share.
What you'll need:
Root
Root explorer (or something similar)
SQLite editor
1. Activate the hot spot initially in the user interface settings, once it rejects to turn on the hotspot.
2. In root explorer goto data>data>com.android.provider.settings>system>databases>settings.db>systen
3. Press search button then type tether
4. Tap on tether_entitlement_check_state goto the value and edit to 0. Save then reboot phone.
All done. Below is the original G2 thread so make sure to give thanks over there.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=41540913&postcount=2
If you'd like to see all these steps with screen shots. Here's a site that provides nearly identical steps with nice pictures to guide you through

It also depends if sprint uses the hot spot provision apk (or whatever they might call it). If they do you can use xposed and x tether to get around it by freezing the provision apk with titanium back up and installing xposed frame work that the x tether module. Below is how they did it for the Galaxy S5.

It all depends on how they tether. If they use an app to verify tether then no but if it's a simple number value ran against their systems like how AT&T is then yes. If you have tibu I'd do a search in there for the word tether and see if they use an app to verify you

No I don't believe that's it. I think thats part of your interface to turn hot spot on and off. Its an apk that you're looking for. They're usually have the name hotspot or tether in them.
