Hi
I can't find RockPlayer on the android market does anyone know what happened to it ?
Me neither
PM me if you need a copy
it looks like they took it down a little while back?

You can get it from here.
You can also look for arcMedia in the Market, which also plays DivX files - it's not as good quality as RockPlayer IMHO, but it is good enough.

Dave

it's on the official site, there's no need to have it elsewhere: http://rockplayer.freecoder.org/

That's very old - pre-Market release. It does seem that it has been pulled from the Market now though.
Regards,

Thanks for the feedback guys but does anyone know why it was pulled from the market ?
google pulled every version apart from the ARMv6 version, i assume the dev pulled that version out of protest or somthing
AFAIK google classed the app as Warez as they did not have a licence to run the codecs it was running (or something like that). This is why its no longer in the market, and it may not make a return.
All versions have now been pulled from the market.
See this is what pisses me off about android, alot of people moan about supporting developers, well i supported RockPlayer by purchasing the full version for £10 now there no longer in the market, so i got a free app, paid extra money to support a developer i thought was actually worth investing in and now they've gone from the market, if it was there choice or googles ive had no information or comunication from RockPlayer on how or if there will be any updates from this point on or have i just given them £10 for nothing. I paid for the full Arm 7 version even though i have found a cracked version that gives the full version with the validate option removed and all the paid features added, but still thought they were worth supporting.
I hope im wrong & rockplayer will someday return, but stuff like this makes me think i should just use illegally obtained apps instead of throwing money down the drain.

We are returned as a unified package, thus users need not worry about CPU model things, please search RockPlayer now in Market. And it is always available on our website anplayer.com .
Would you please share me any original words or info from Google side? Indeed they didn't gave email notification or any explanation, even we complained through Market support page. We guess it is because our app cannot run on all CPU, there are so many video players using FFmpeg, but seems we are only one distinct CPU for performance.
Hello XDA Moderators!
First of all I want to apologize if this topic has been already discussed or is it forbidden (I didn't found such restrictions in the rules)
Anyway, since I got my HTC Desire S this forum is the primary source of information for me, and most probably for all the other visitors around.
And especially when it comes to custom rom files there are sometimes troubles with dead links, crappy file sharing sites with stupid limitations, etc.
So I think it will be much more convenient for everyone (devs and users) to use the torrent system via magnet link (combined with QR scan maybe) for all the files that are posted around here. The download speed will be much better and all that have downloaded the file once will contribute by seeding it to the others. And of course via the appropriate client the files can be downloaded directly to the SD Card (this is possible now through the phone web browser, but a lot of steps are required - waiting, human security check forms, etc.). And last but not least one of the greatest advantages is that on single torrent there can be multiple files, that one can pick to download or not (for example all radio images for a specific model, etc.)
Looking forward to your comments.
no interest?
Obviously not...
Well... I do direct download links for ROMs, on several gigabit servers. So it's of no interest here...
P2P systems also require client software, meaning people downloading via their phone might have issues...
But I personally see no need for a different download system, and nobody has ever complained about waiting times or ads for direct uploads
Thank you for this reply
Agreed with above commenters but I can't disagree with OP either.
It's true that torrents may present an issue due to the requirement of a client but a torrent has one huge advantage - integrity.
Torrent clients automatically check the files for integrity. Also, torrents can provided reliable downloads for larger files.
However, I hardly think torrents are relevant here. Torrents are useful only for large files. Most of the files shared on XDA are 500MB at the most. Most ROMs are 100MB and apks are around 1-15MB.
Although RapidShare is annoying, there are other pretty reliable file sharing services like MediaFire. MediaFire is by far my most favorite site for mass file sharing and Dropbox is pretty reliable too although Dropbox has a 10GB/day traffic limit per account.
Check out these sites listed at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1210372 for remote uploading to dropbox where you download the file directly to dropbox and then download it from dropbox. Pretty useful if the download speeds are too low.
Curious..
Browser add-ons bring torrent to your normal browser download. Opera has had one for quite some time out of the box. But you can even get a real torrent client for Android now.
And to be frank, as long as the OP provides checksums, the value of integrety should remain. I get eered out downloading from some of these file share sites, plus with all the spammy ads and what not!
Maybe somebody should make an XDA related torrent cache?
Can someone with the Wired Magazine app installed in his Kindle, extract the apk and post it?
Or someone can download it form the Amazon Android Market? I tried it, but it says that only can be run at Kindle.
I want to tried it on another tablet.

I would love to be able to use Wired on my thunderbolt.

I just tried to install this on my thunderbolt. It told me I didn't own the app and sent me to the amazon app store. Then it said I couldn't "buy" the app (its free) in this device.
Can someone get us around this?

Ahh never mind. You pay for a subscription after you download it.
its a free app. i don't see how allowing me to use it on another android device would be pirating. I have a subscription to the WIRED print magazine. I'm not asking for illegal access to the magazine content. I just want to be able to use their app on my phone.

First, go to the Amazon app store online. Search for the Wired magazine app there and buy it there. It will warn you that none of your available devices support the app. Go ahead and buy it anyway (since it is free). You can now launch the app. You'll need a Wired Magazine account and Adobe air for it to work.
I tried. I enter my subscription number, and ask me to sign in. Unfortunatelly, there is no sign in screen, button.
I believe you have to register by clicking on the banner saying "Already a subscriber" after that you should then be able to log on using the email address you register with by clicking the tiny Sign In link above the banner on the top left corner.
I have been using this app on the iPad for months and I can access all the issues I own in paper and have the ability to buy past issues beyond my paper subscription. On the fire app I can only access issue 19.11 and after 19.12 arrived in the mail I could download it on the ipad but not on the fire. Anyone else with this experience?
I already did that (registered), but I never get the Sign In link. I have the iPad subscription too. And same as you, I can get (on the ipad), the December one.

Similar experience, but with GQ magazine.
Can someone get the apk for GQ and Cosmo for us?

Wired Support
Just a FYI, contacted Wired support and they are only making content for November issues forward.
I subscribe to Wired Magazine. The posted .apk works great on my Evo View. After signing up and logging in, I had to log out and log back in order to get the issues to show as "purchased."
Since this seems to be the charity thread.... any chance someone could post the Entertainment Weekly app? It's another that still requires a separate subscription but the app is only available to kindle fire in the amazon store. Already tried the route of getting it through the web app store but it was no dice.

You sign in at the top left of the wired app main page. It's up at the very top.
Also this thread has nothing to do with Android Development, please use some consideration when creating threads. There is a section under Amazon Kindle Fire called Themes and Apps, this thread should have went there instead of cluttering up the Android Development. Granted it's not a major foul but please just use some common sense people.
Muchas gracias! I wasn't able to download this directly from my Samsung Galaxy Tab 7" for some reason. I downloaded it to my hackintosh and copied it to the SD card, and installed it from there, once the mandatory Adobe Air installed first. It complains every time I open it or start a download of an issue, but I just hit "quit" each time. Log in worked, and I can now download and read Wired on my Tab! Yahoo...! The January and February 2012 issues are 126 and 178 MB each, but the December and November '11 issues are 371 MB and 261 MB respectively! And I'm sure that's their compressed size. Those must be the only Android-compatible issues because that's all that shows up in the library. On my GF's iPad I see everything available since my subscription started.
Correction: the warning dialog only comes up when I start the app and try to log in. Once I've cancelled the dialog viewing the issues is perfect.

On my Motorola Xoom running Virtuous Inquisition v3 (ICS) I can register, and I see the little red arrow pointing up, with the phrase "Already have access? Sign in above" but there is nothing above the arrow. The word "Wired" appears in the center of the bar at the top, and there's a gear-shaped menu icon in the upper-right, but the only item on the menu is "Restore all purchases" which does nothing but bring up the incorrect "No internet connection" message.
So close, yet so far away. You'd think Conde Nast could afford to hire decent Android Devs.
I was wondering if anyone knows if there is a hacked .apk of the amazon Instant video app. I am not sure of any reason why it shouldn't work on any android device but so far as I can see its only on the Kindle Fire. Is there a reason why Amazon Instant Video isn't available for android?
1. This is a question, those go in the Q and A section
2. We do not do hacks here, hacks implies nefarious things. Unless you are talking about a "hack" that allows users to use an otherwise free app, but on a not yet supported device?
You can use opera browser and search Google for rhe instructions.

Well its a free app, but only seems to be supported on Kindle devices.
I have looked on the internet seems like everything I have found was old and didn't pertain to Android 4.2 and up.
Sorry, about the thread going to wrong area.
Would anyone be kind enough to download and extract the Flappy birds family apk and upload here. Its only available on fire tv, which I don't have.

i second this
Wait?,There is a Flappy Bird for Fire TV?!?
Is gameplay in landscape?
The app itself has to be in landscape orientation on Fire TV,otherwise it could be simulating portrait by not using the entire screen-width,which would be as torturous as the original Flappy Bird when played on a tablet that could use landscape.
Although,portrait mode sometimes works on Fire TV for some reason.
Tip:XDA Forums supports attachments,and also supports the apk format directly.
Your limit is 20.00MB for an apk.
If it is larger than 20.00MB,try compressing it into a zip.
Zip files are also limited to a whopping 20.00MB of space.
If you have access to a Windows PC like Win7,you can take advantage of
its "Send To> Compressed (zipped) folder" a most powerful compression tool.

Yes there is. Its was specifically built for fire tv by the original creator. Not even fire tabs or phone can download it.
Got the apk file.
View attachment com.dotgears.flapfire-1.apk
Edit:Alright,can someone mod this so I don't need gamecircle or the Amazon Appstore
so I can actually testrun it?
My Fire TV's current condition with Flappy is improperly trying to open an action list instead of doing the normally assigned action. (whatever that is)
It keeps spamming me with the gamecircle after I touch the "no thanks" option.
I only caught a glimpse of the in-game portion where you select a bird.
Fire Phone good to Go!
The apk works perfectly on the Amazon Fire Phone! Wonder why they would exclude it from their own newly launched device? As for other android devices? Yea I get it, they paid Nguyen (developer) a sick amount of loot for exclusivity! Probably 6 figures?

Same thing happened with me. I had Amazon App store installed. Once the app finished installing and opened, I was immediately greeted with a screen that I do not own the app.
I tried messing around with some of the files contained in the APK, but no luck yet. Experienced modders, where you at?!?

the app it self will install and "work" on mostly any device just it wont let you play the game till it verifies some bs with the Amazon App store and also check your default mobile internet browser it might have opened some amazon pages
Report the annoying gamecircle/amazon issue to the developer as a legitimate Fire TV owner.
In a normal circumstance,you would only have the Amazon controller and the remote,meaning you can't
complete the spammed gamecircle bs.
Or maybe I botched something in post-root,and I even have the bueller IME enabled now,but not set as the
default because of the original issue. (null keyboard is my default IME)

Download lucky patcher apk on Google not play store. It's mainly for cracking apps but I don't condone warez. BUT it does allow for removing parts of an app. I removed some stuff and got the Amazon game circle removed but then force closed. Maybe you guys can try with it.
Also since its for fire tv, how do we know it will have touch support?

I believe it has to do with the "com.amazon.identity.auth.device.authorization" lines in the manifest.xml, but I'm having trouble parsing my signed APK. Will work on it later tonight. Let me know if anyone makes any progress.
I did not say anything before,but I can confirm pressing basically any button on my Logitech K400r Keyboard made the bird flap.
(at least when not frozen in place from the EFFIN gamecircle crap)
I really want this fixed since I feel that it is much easier than the torturous portrait-oriented version,and would be tons more fun.
I've seen a video of somebody already setting major records like 300+ points.
I am making my own clone of Flappy Birds family with basic split screen multiplayer (using modded sprites to avoid copyright of course). Should be done in a day or 2 but I may make it $.99 since it took a bit to make.
I give up. I tried several modifications to the XML manifest and various different compiling/signing tools but the furthest I've gotten is the opening screen on my Nexus 7.
On my Galaxy S5, the FBF APKs (even the original) will no longer even install. Android is mad at me.
It appears that this website has someone working on it: thedroid.net/flappy-birds-family-android-apk/
Not sure if I'm allowed to post that. I apologize if that's against the rules.
