good for you! but it's apparently not ready for everyone yet, with multiple application interworking problems ID'd and listed so far ... but whatever the problem is for my setup and set of apps, it has not been ID'd yet ...
Browser crashes when I visit any page.
Opera mini never opens.
Kindle app is listed as Amazon.co.jp and I can't login. WTF?!?!
Market won't search or update to play store.
I can't scroll in the market to different app categories. Only the first page.
Is crap like this normal?
I updated to 1.1 and ran the Nooter project. I thought I did it right, but nothing seems to be working. What am I doing wrong, or is this just it? If so, I might sell the damn thing.
Opera Mini is a known issue. Try Opera Mobile. Which browser is crashing, Opera?
Market will not search or update to Play Store. This is a known issue. The NST runs Android 2.1, so is not compatible with the Play Store. However, you can use SearchMarket to work around this, and the old Market still works for updating and installing once you locate a package with SearchMarket. Again, this is a known issue.
Not sure about the Kindle app. I just see it as "Amazon Kindle" in ADW.
I'd suggest reading the installation threads all the way through so you're sure of what the current status of things are. You may well have had a bad root, but most of the things you've mentioned are known problems. The rooting procedure is a hack, after all, and can't make the underlying old Android OS work any better than it did.
FWIW: I've had good luck with TouchNooter 2.1.31, with everything working as described in that thread (not necessarily everything working).
thanks for the help. How am I supposed to install opera mobile if I can't search for it and I can't get to it in categories?
Scrounge up the apk from somewhere.
That's what I did but I forget where I got it.
I don't use Android Market or Play.

I used the built in browser and went to the Opera web site and installed from there...
Installed the Kindle app via Google Play form a computer. It downloaded and installed when turning wireless on, on the Nook.

Did you try SearchMarket after 24 hours? Did you try installing from a web browser on your computer to install to your NST ("phone")? Did you try installing from the Amazon App Store? From your posts, it's not clear whether you did or not. You also haven't provided us with much info to try to help you with. Did you encounter any errors while rooting? Does anything else work?

OK, let's go through the issues here. I think I've got a summary here from the responses.
1. Don't know why ----------------------------Browser crashes when I visit any page.
2. Known issue (why in nooter?) --------Opera mini never opens.
3. Don't know why ----------------------------Kindle app is listed as Amazon.co.jp and I can't login. WTF?!?!
4. known issue (how to update manual?)----Market won't search or update to play store.
5. known issue --------------------------------I can't scroll in the market to different app categories. Only the first page.
The first one is the built in browser, I don't know why it won't work. It appears it does for others.
I didn't experience any errors in rooting that I know of, but here is my process.
1. ran nooter 2.xxxx
2. had issues, found out I was at NST version 1.01 and ran the wrong nooter.
3. did a hard reset through the button holding method to wipe all data.
4. updated to 1.1
5. ran same nooter again.
after that, the process appeared to work, but I'm having these issues. I might needed to do more and screwed it up. Hopefully this is clear. If it's not, let me know and I'll try to explain better.

The native browser is not fully functional, from everything I've read. TRY OPERA MOBILE.
There's another running thread in which I list the specific steps I've used on my NST, if you're interested.
I am really trying to get Xfinity TV Go to work on my NP. I have tried the one from the play store as well as the Leanback Launcher one that is out there. All of them crash and say "Unfortunatley, TV Go has stopped" when I try and play a video or watch a live stream. I tried an older version of the app last night and it loaded video, just no sound. Does anyone have any success with this? I know others have said theirs work.

Thanks! Just let me know. I am very frustrated with it since ESPN works flawlessly for me.
I have the same problem as you, the app sideloads and opens just fine, but when I go to play any video it crashes back to its home screen.
Any luck getting xFintity GO to work on the Nexus Player?
I did notice an update is available but i haven't tried it yet

I managed to get a version to work. I had to extract the apk (unzip), remove the lib/x86 folder, re-zip, and sign.
Since when you sign, it will be with a different key, you will have to uninstall the current installed version first.
Either use adb uninstall com.xfinity.playnow
or, if you have root and want to keep the data, adb root; adb shell pm uninstall -k com.xfinity.playnow
Then install this:

I am going to try this when I get home. So can I not just uninstall the current xfinity tv go the normal way and install yours?

I tested out the app last night and it works! You are a genius! I did notice that the 3 dot menu does not work, so you can't watch live channels or search for anything that is not on the main menu. Android broke that functionality in 5.1. I then downgraded to 5.0 and it worked perfectly. I did not root my NP and when I woke up it had updated to 5.1.1. I may have to downgrade again and root so it does not change.
My question for you. Do you know a way to use the 3 dot menu in 5.1.1 in general? BC it wrecked tons of apps we sideloaded. Also, since you are good at altering an app, would it be easy to alter the xfinity app to allow the 3 dot menu?
Can you edit the androidmanifest and make the app open to "networks" instead of featured? Or any other section in the context menu?
OMG it works!!! Ive been waiting for this day for months!
The MENU doesnt fully work yet like previous posts saying but there's hope
does it work well with the remote or do u have to use a mouse

I didn't try remote. But controller (gamepad) doesn't work at all.
The mouse is required to navigate through the app on Nexus Player - login and navigation.
And yes - no way to open menu or so ever. Basically you will be stuck on first 'Feature' page only.
In my case it was 'Must see', 'Thu Night TV' and 'Wed Night TV'.
Tried to play one of the available episodes - works perfectly fine.
Any thoughts on why this wouldn't work on Android X86? They are both Intel.
Got Live TV Working!
So I modified the apk and told it to launch to the live TV page instead of featured videos. APK Attached.
i have the regular Xfinity TV Go app working. With live tv and recorded shows. I get the full app menu. I'm running android 5.02 still on my ADT-1

The modified APKs in this thread do work on the Nexus Player which is an x86 device. Are you trying to use it on something else like a tablet?

The ADT-1 uses a Tegra 4 SoC so it's an ARM device. If you update the operating system to Android 5.1 or higher, then some of your apps will lose the hamburger or 3 dot menu access.
Gabby It was actually really easy. Decompiled the apk, Edited the "\smali\com\xfinity\playerlib\view\launch\PlayerLaunchStrategy.smali" file. Replaced the two calls to the /featured/FeaturedActivity with /browseprograms/LiveStreamsActivity. Then recompiled and signed. (I did have to use the apk that you posted as a basepoint).
I know I could stream Grim Fandango Remastered from my pc but I do not have a Nvidia card only the intergrated Intel HD graphics. Fangdango is available for android but it is not compatible with any of my devices if it were I would d/l it and then sideload it. What can I do?
Do you have any devices that it is compatable with? If so, you can install it there, and move the APK.
..
Every device I have is rooted but the only one that is registered that is compatible is the Nexus 9 but I returned it because it was running very hot and bought the Samsung Galaxy Tab S 10.5 SM-T800 which my daily device now. It is rooted and running a custom 5.0.2 rom. I tried every device option available with Market Helper but Grim Fandango still did not show in the play store. I tried using my chrome browser and going to the play store and Grim Fandango would show but it still only showed it being compatible with the Nexus 9. Strange when I clicked on the play store compatibility list the device I was spoofing was not there. I double checked the device manager page and it showed that the device had ben changed to the spoofed one. Am I doing something wrong?

That's what you want. With market helper, it doesn't change the play store on the device. You have to install it on the web interface to the spoofed device. The play store on your device will update all installed apps though luckly, supported or not.
But, the spoofed device is not showing up in my compatibility list. The list is still only showing the original list. I am using the play store through Chrome browser. I'm starting to feel like a noob again! ?
..
So, I definitely have to use a pc. I thought since there was a in app link to the Android device mgr there was no need to use the pc.

I didn't have to use a pc. I used chrome browser installed on the shield. Just refreshed a few times in that and the spoofed device showed up.

Yes, it works on the shield. You have to install via web browser, but the device does the rest.

Back on topic, did you manage to get this working?
To be honest, I have been sidetracked most of this week with an addition I am adding to my home. I will try this coming week and post results.
No I could not get it to work, it kept crashing. There is a version of it ln the Nvidia Store but it is only for the Shield tablet. How hard would it be to port it to the NSATV. I guess Nvidia would have to ask Doublefine for permission or else Doublefine would have to do it themselves? How does one bring this to Nvidias attention?
any updates whit grim fandango on android tv?
Its on sale this weekend
Hi All,
With Google Assistant officially official on Android TV, how to get it on Nexus Player, which technically should be getting it first. Any way, is there a work around to enable it in Nexus Player with Oreo?
Thanks

Yesterday, I noticed that the OTA update had added GA, but every time I press the microphone button the device shows the "Meet your Google Assistant" welcome page.
Factor Reset, un-installed and reinstalled the Google App, all without success. :/
Thoughts?

I noticed the latest update with November Security Patch is supposed to have Google Assistant now. I recently bought an nVidia Shield TV device which also has Google Assistant (well was the first device to get it anyway) and it works flawlessly on that device (which currently runs 7.1.2).
I'll have to hookup my NP tonight and update it to see how it works. Mine is running Oreo but I disconnected it when I picked up the Shield TV last weekend. My NP is fully stock, and I did read that GA was a little quirky with the Nexus remote and it was suggested to use your mobile device for a better experience with it. Anyway, point is, I'll hook mine up tonight, update it and check it out. Let you know how it goes [emoji6]
