Android L Preview - Showbox - Nexus 5 Themes and Apps

Showbox doesn't seem to work on the Android "L" Developer Preview. Any ways round this or fixes?

Probably due to ART. You might just have to wait for the app dev to update.

I just tested it on ART with someone else's Nexus 5 and it worked fine.

You probably shouldn't post anything about showbox since it's not accepted in xda

Apps not compatible???

So I'm seeing a bunch of apps that are not compatible with the the nexus 7... (TMZ, Newsday, Amazing Alex, Six Guns, HBO Go, etc.) I am rooted and have tried changing the dpi to 160 and full tablet model but the that doesn't do that Chavez these apps compatibility.
I saw this once in the past with the One X. Someone found a way to change the way the device identifies itself to the play store. Is this the same type of issue?
Anyone have a way around this? My last tablet was a Transformer prime and I would like to be able to run these apps on my N7 as well.

It's usually because the developer hasn't changed the market info to enable support for jelly bean.
if you have these apps on your phone or other tablet you can backup the apk and try to install it on the N7 and see what happens. Also good to report back to the developer through an email letting them know that the app does not show up, or it does not work.
TMZ works just fine but the HBO Go & Max Go apks still don't work even after a DPI change to 170 so the only other possible way is to edit the build.prop to trick both the market & app to think that it's a different device but I'm not that sure it will work because I think only one of the Go apps have been updated for tablets but I might be wrong on that I also tried to edit the apk directly to work on ICS months ago before they added support and I couldn't fix that so I'm not even going fool with it thus time if you need the apks PM me

It's the same thing that happened with honeycomb. lots of apps did not work at launch. gonna take a while for everything to be updated.
HBO Go JUST added tablet support like a month ago.
Right but the apps i mentioned all worked fine on my Transformer prime. So its not the app its something about the N7.

HBO Go explicitly supports only a handful of tablets and the Nexus 7 isn't one of them yet.
EDIT: Also this: "- Now supporting Android tablets running up to version 4.04 (Ice Cream Sandwich)"
Is there a way around this? I haven't rooted yet, but I will eventually. It's pretty annoying that a lot of apps that I have already searched for aren't there...
I need my HBO Go!

If an app is not supported it's for one of three reasons
1) the app developer has put a 'ceiling' on the app so it can only be downloaded by devices up to a certain version of android. Most likely 4.0.4 and they have not updated the play store information to allow for 4.1/4.1.1
2) the app developer only allows it for certain devices (HBO GO) and has to manually add support for the Nexus 7 either through more development in the app or simply enabling support for it in the Play Store.
3) The app does not work in jelly bean and there for the developer is not allowing anyone to download it and has done one of the above until they can enable support for it.
This happened with honeycomb (3.0) and ice cream sandwich. (4.0) and there is nothing to freak out about. Just email the dev and tell them that you can't download it on the nexus 7 with jelly bean.
Has anyone tried the Comcast Xfinity app? I cannot get it to work. It loads, you are able to choose video, but when it starts trying to play it says your video will play shortly with a spinning circle next to it and never goes any farther.
Same exact thing on HBO GO on Fios.

I would not be 100% sure its an app issue. I have an app in appstore. No versions limitations and I can even see nexus 7 in list of supported devices. But still get incompatible message if I try install it. Totally puzzled

instagram was un compatible. but engadget say they release an update to support the n7 and it can use the front facing camera take photos.

Does anyone knows what needs to be changed in app to make it compatible?

You can try to change the build.prop in you system folder to match another device. I did this on my older tablet and on my galaxy note to get more games to show.
U need root access to read and write system folder.
ro.product.model=A500
ro.product.brand=acer
ro.product.name=a500_ww_gen1
ro.product.device=picasso
ro.product.board=picasso
Edit these lines. Then reboot make sure u make a backup this may or may not work. Anytime I didn't work I just rebooted again and it went back. If Acer doesn't work you can try an Asus transformer build.prop. There is always gonna be an issue with comparability though. Your better off finding and side loading an apk for now to test rather then buy to find out it don't work.

Let's not make a noise
please check my question again . I read
I'm developer. My app is running on other JB devices ( galaxy nexus no issues what so ever)
I can manually install app on nexus 7 and it works perfect
I just not aware of any limitation could be that would block device. I tried already removing request for vibration permission but still play store doesn't allow app for nexus 7
it's something strange
I already opened ticket @Google for this

Dude. You are wrong. These are not the only reason apps don't show. Tell me why an app would appear and install and run just fine from the amazon app store but not show up at all in the play store?
Try the new Rovio game Amazing Alex. Doesn't show up in play store but comes up in the Amazon app store, installs fine and plays perfectly.
I have side loaded the newsday, ameritrade, tmz for tablets etc... And they all run perfectly.

[Q] Nexus 7 Screen Recorder?

I have a Nexus 7, and I want to do video tutorials to show other people how to do certain things on the Nexus 7. I don't want to root, and I've tried doing the ADB/[email protected] thing on a Windows XP computer, then plugging my Nexus in. On the devices list, nothing shows up. Is there a better tutorial out there, or a better way to record screen? I'd really appreciate help. Thanks!
ATM screencast in the android market doesn't support the nexus line yet. If you have a digital camera you can use that. Your smart phone will work too.

Just found a solution
This isn't perfect, but it's the best thing I've found so far:
I can't post a link because I'm new here as a member, but search the Play store for MirrorOP Sender.
It's called MirrorOP Sender, and it pushes a video feed of the screen. Get MirrorOP Receiver for Windows or another android device and you can get the video feed there, and control the device from it. You could do a "proxy screen caster", perhaps, but not a direct one.
There are some apps int the market but none of them works on Tegra2 or Tegra3...
You can still give a try...

Split screen

Anyone know of an App or ROM that gives the ability to have a split screen like the Note?
One app open in half the screen and another app in the other half?

Only Samsung ROMs are capable of doing that. Maybe we will get a port, but that requires a lot of Samsung framework. So as of now, no.

It has a version of multiwindow? I thought that was only for like the video player.
Either way, there are plenty of floating apps on the play store that are pretty awesome. Lilypad HD is a floating chat client, Overscrkeen is a floating web browser, and there's a few others as well.

there's cornerstone which existed before samsung came and you can be sure thats what samsung probably based theirs on. googles dianne hackborn personally vetoed when cyanogenmod tried to bring in cornerstone, even hinting at legal consequences. afaik it was troublesome and buggy aswell, even samsungs solution was for a couple of apps only, right?

Yes, it was originally only for a couple of apps. But there are some hacked up versions available on XDA that allow it to work perfectly with all apps.

Just install the APK, it's the same as the one you'll automatically get anyway
It's not a problem, just be patient if you don't want to install the APK. I haven't got it yet either.

OMG sooooooo many server issues. And app bugs for that matter. Whats funny is this game was in Beta for awhile. My friend actually had bata access. I think it should of spent waaaaay more time in beta.
Do any of you have the bug where if you receive any notification with sound the sound in the game goes away.
And gyms not working correctly.
Being already bored of Ingress I find it incredibly boring since it's the same game.
Haven't opened the app since I got into the beta.

That explains why the sound kept dropping out!
Anyone working on a patch or work around to get it running on the beta? How would one even go about that? Edit the app or the build prop file?
Went into town yesterday to walk around and catch some Pokemon, also try to take a gym (It's located at a Fire Hydrant painted like Mario!) I wasn't the only one in town playing. There must have been at least 25 people I walked past playing Pokemon. When I got to the Mario Hydrant there were two teams trying for it. Blue (Mine) and Yellow. I was able to capture the gym pretty quickly, which pissed off the yellow team because they had been at it for twenty minutes before I got there.

What app/spoofer are you using? I tried with FakeGPS Free and Pokemon Go puts me on the map in the spoofed location but throws the error "Failed to detect location" and it won't put any pokemon or pokestops on the map.
Anyone manage to get it running on Android N? Can we do a build.prop change it something?
