This is a mobile device forum. Google TV is not a mobile device. I own one as well, and would love to see development on it, but it won't happen here. I'm not trying to be a jerk about it, but that's the same reason there aren't any laptops in the forum. We have to stop somewhere. The site can include everything. Besides, it doesn't matter what OS the device in question is running, the fact is that it isn't a mobile device.
Check out gtvhacker.com for development on it. Google just released the 2.0 dev kit. Market access and Honeycomb are on the way.

Marketplace

I don't get it.
If I use the Android XDA app, the Marketplace is visible in General. Using a real browser however, it's not. A quick search for a link into the Marketplace rears a permissions error. And all of this without being registered. So what gives? Something I'm missing here?

Oh, so it's now visible. After glancing through the rules/disclaimer it appears it'll become accessible after 8 posts for a noobjuice member. Clever.

You need more posts and/or a longer membership (I can't recall the details).
Guess the Tapatalk app needs fixing .

It's not the app...we've changed the permission on the Marketplace to not allow access to a user until he/she has made 8 posts. That 8 post level is also the same point at which you can post links. It's just an anti-spam measure. We found people were registering at XDA just to spam the site or the Marketplace. This helps.
Sorry for the inconvenience.
This is good to know. Long time lurker and finally signed up so I could post in the marketplace but alas!
Can someone link to the rules for gaining access to the Marketplace? I have 8 posts but still cannot see it. Tried logging out and back in but still nothing
For a while there I thought I needed to check my eye sight. Makes sense now.
Hard to achieve 8 post if you have nothing to say or to discuss or if everything is so well explained that you do not need answers
Maybe you could add a waiting time also. Lets say after 4 weeks you get to see the market, I highly doubt anyone would wait 4 weeks just to spam something.
It doesn't make sense that you can view the Marketplace before you sign up (and then have it dissapear after you are a member).
oh!! so thats why i couldnt c the marketplace
I am new here. it seem that this is an useful forum.
welcome to forums
Once you become an active/regula user all XDA features will be unlocked and you will be able to post in marketplace, this rule is to protect us from spammers/scammers
Ah I was wondering why I wasn't able to see that deal I saw anymore... guess I'm off to ask more questions.
I have been on the site reading for 6 months now trying not to poste but now i need to use the market so here is my 8th poste thanks.

Where is the best place to learn Linux Kernel Development, or more specifically, Android Kernel Development (if there's any major differences in the two).
I have a slight Computer Science background from being self-taught in basic C programs, an understanding for Object Oriented Programming, and also learning Java throughout school.
I've heard that http://kernelnewbies.org/ is good as well as the standard www.kernel.com website to grab the latest kernel and start tinkering.

overclocking issues

Well im not sure of your question, but you can set profiles in SetCPU so that when your screen goes off it can slow the clock down
[Q] Is the G2 capable of Screen Sharing/DLNA
I love my G2, but one feature that I wish the it incorporated is the DLNA screen sharing feature that the MyTouch 4g is touting. Does anyone know if this is something that's possible on the G2?
wrong forum!
i have to ask only because im clueless, wtf is DLNA screen sharing?
thanx, veritas

My understanding of it is this, it's the ability to stream content directly from your phone to a DLNA compliant device, kind of like a networked media storage device would do. It can be a substitute for TV out in some cases. I have some movies (home movies, photos, etc) that I just recorded on my G2 and want to watch them on my TV. Well, my PS3 is DLNA compliant and I would stream these movies through my PS3. If anyone else has anything to add or wants to correct anything that I may have misstated please do.
How can I enable the long-hold action for the Menu button that pops up the on-screen keyboard?
While I am foaming at the mouth to know how to make my g2 dlna, i have a far moar simple question.
Just need some help starting an app.. such as setcpu from visionary.sh.
I know i can set it from app to start on boot, but have run into it not having su permission at that point. yes I am a script or cmd line no0b but any help would be appreciated.

Your answer to my question was sooo unhelpful. Read that thread my question is posted there, and it has gone unanswered. I have also read most of the threads in general, app, and have done a search with no real clear answer.
So now you can either help me or give me some moar useless links.

Take a look at this thread. Should help you get through it easily.
to tell you the truth i was afraid to root my cliq because i didnt want to brick the phone, so no i havent temp rooted yet. i have the new ota. with the temp root if i shut my my off or it dies will it revert back to stoc because of the backup installed
edit. i downloaded visionary about 5 minutes ago so i did the 1 click root.
First off, its not a backup. Secondly, if you reboot you'll clear the cache and will have to re-root. Its temp, so you won't brick your phone.

Google has released Maps v6.0! Get it while it's hot!
EDIT: I'm a n00b an couldn't install it due to non-standard DPI... if you can't update, set your DPI back to 240 (default) and then clear data for Market.

Not if you have a nonstandard DPI you can't download from the Market. I posted and then immediately discovered my mistake (see my post revision history). Also, I thought people might like to know that a new version of Maps was out.

Thanks man, I was redoing my own personal rom and thought.....I wonder if any of the system apps have updated. I will put this in my rom. I appreciate people trying to help.
Agreed, unless someone asks a blatantly dumb question to a dev theres no need for the remarks. The point of these forums are to spread knowledge of the android platform and not get all high school on people.

Mind your language here peeps..... Play nice!
If an app has permission changes you must manual update. Some people wouldn't check to update maps, like me, unless a post like this, so for someone it was actually helpful. This is why i'm kind of leary on coming back to xda, they might ban me for nothing again, or speakin up for myself so let me start off on the right track. leave the guy alone though, it was a good look, at least for me. THX YO
and im not noob i flash phones i did 2 more today, i just dont check MAPS one of the preinstalled apps to be updated... i only update like every 4 days or so and then the manuals like every 3 weeks

True. I'm thinking of moving to RootWiki. For the most part most mods are retards who don't read to see who provoked the issue to begin with. They grab the ban hammer and start going crazy while laughing maniacally.
Thanks for the update. Question, can't you delete it with titanium and download it from the market?

Ok - so here's the deal. After reading through this thread, it's become obvious that a number of things are going on.
1. Forum Rules state search before posting. It is accurate to state that you should be searching the internet as well as XDA to do your due diligence before posting a question.
2. Rule #13 is always going to be a tough one
15. Keep posts/threads on-topic
Whilst a minor amount of off-topic posting may be overlooked, the general rule is your posts / threads must be relevant to the Forum / thread in which you are posting.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
3. There is a fine line between abusive/trolling posts and those that are seeking to be helpful, especially when you can have people who do not have English as their primary language.
So here's the deal. Don't feel like you need to take it upon yourself to be snippy and tell other users what they should do. Sometimes the best response is no response. Also, if you feel there is a post/thread which violates the Forum Rules, then report it and let us Moderators deal with it.
I am closing this thread as it's served it usefulness.

The previous thread was closed by the moderator. I contacted him but he didn't answer. Though this isn't my work, i uploaded it to google docs. I hope it is reachable to everyone. If it isn't please suggest an other way. Download the attachments zip if you can see it. I repeat this has nothing to do with btunes, it has coverflow and it works pretty well though it can be more stable. Hope someone can improve it...

Did you seek permission from the developer of this mystery APK before your attempts to post it? If not, that's also a rules violation.

[Q] NEED HELP. Where is the modified verison of DriveLink I am hearing about????

Hey guy's I recently got the XAV-701HD mirrorlink unit for my truck. The driveLink app is beyond horrible. I read a post from a guy on the reviews section. Here it is
It's a shame that a developer outside of Samsung had to modify this app to make it what it should have been. If anyone reads this review, please know that their is a modified version of drive link. I currently have it on my phone and it works great on my Sony XAV-701HD head unit. I am able to use Pandora and all apps including Netflix. I can load all shortcuts to my home screen and they stay, the annoying warning message is removed, and the app works flawlessly and it is still in development with users reading at xda developers. Make sure your head unit is up to date on the firmware, if you want apps to work while driving, the unit must have the video bypass simply by grounding your parking brake wire. Once you uninstall Samsung's crappy version and install the new version, you will see a whole new world on your unit. I recommend installing button saviour to your phone and using Nova Launcher. Check out all of the videos on YouTube. I am now a happy camper but not with Samsung.
He raves about how awesome this app is but doesnt tell anywhere the damn name or where it is. Does anyone know this and can direct me to where it is? I need it asap. THANKS
I think I found a thread dedicated to it here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1951960&page=17
But I cant post in it. I just need to know where and how to download the modified version, and Do I need to have my phone cracked or unlocked or what have you? Id rather not do that. someone let me know.

And I don't know much else about the specifics, let me help you rack up some quick 10 posts here and then you can go ask in that thread

It's too limit the amount of spam by some new users. They tend to post in the dev section when they shouldn't, making question threads or things that should go in general
So that's where that rule comes from :thumbup:
