Cheers Paul. Great work!

You are THE man I hoped that you buy a GS 2! My dreams come true (roms, ect...)
Thanks

I've downloaded and installed the apk. I then press open and press to install Google Talk. After this, it stays on the installing google video talk screen...
Am I doing something wrong?

Did it ask for root?

Cheers, Paul!

Awesome! Thanks Paul!

You need to enable USB debugging in Settings > Applications > Development

i have a parsing error too
where should i save the .apk?

Worked for me. Have not tried it with anyone yet but it shows that I'm video ready. You don't need wifi for this to work right? It will work with video over 3g too right..?
UPDATE: Just tried it and works perfectly on SGS2 but I guess you do need WIFI for it to work. My friend tried to chat with me while I was on HSPA and he can see that I was video ready but it just rang once on his end and just a google talk bubble on my end saying he tried to video me but I was not on wifi to receive. Is this normal? Does anyone have it working on 3g (HSPA) too? Also, I noticed on paul's page he said it can be un-installed. If you un-install it, will you be back to the original googoe chat that was baked into the SGS2..?

great work !!!!

Google Chrome on Android

No one posted this yet?
It's available on the Android Marché for ICS devices
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.android.chrome
APK also available here:
http://min.us/mv2d7nyM6#5o

I assume this doesnt work on any HTC Desire yet right?

I can't get it to work. It does download the page I want to browse, but it doesn't render it. The screen only gets the color of the background of the webpage.
Anyone else got this problem?
I'm using Sandvold's ICS for Desire.

Seems it requires HWA

im downloading it through the mirror. Just tab the grey file symbol and it starts downloading.. to be continued

Ok, didn't work. Just got a popup message on danish: "Der er et problem med at parse pakken."
Quick translation: "There is a problem parsing the package." Just gonna live with the browser that comes with ICS.

woops - thanks - fixed it in OP

Doesn't work here either (dk_zero-cools's CM9 ROM). Loads pages, but doesn't render the contents. Obviously due to lack of HWA

Yeah it is for ICS so untill someone makes a version that will work with other systems it's not worth trying IMO.

No more chrome to phone eventually... I guess.

All the links here seems to link to a corrupt file
here is a working one

Didnt see this post but posted the same in the Themes and app section. It doesnt work for me either. I would love it too, but like everyone is saying its probably due to HWA support.

doesn't work "package file is invalid".
BUT more worrying is that Google just released a new version of the Google+ app and that is giving me the same error "package file is invaid" (no probs with other apps, just those coming from Google)

incompatible with my SGS2 on tmobile too
but your download link apk is installed and working fine! Stupid NBC
Thanks!

Thanks for the dropbox link worked like a charm on my SGS3, tested a video working great as stated can't test live until olympics start but don't see why live wouldn't work.

But the reviews aren't good. Seems as tho it doesn't 'just' work.

Thanks all! it works great

Guess that means people are reviewing without trying it or maybe they have an incompatible phone I can confirm the AT&T Galaxy S3 works.

On the app's page it states that "additional support for phones and tablets will be added". So I wouldn't be surprised if we see a fully compatable and optimized app before the Olympics.
EDIT: reinstalled from review horizon and now for some weird reason video works, oh well, as long as I can watch the Olympics

Hi
Can anyone post the main NBC Olympic apply
Strange but even fir gs2 it says incompatible

Can someone please post the version they updated to today? (7/25) The last one tries to force an update which is still 'not compatible'.

Yes, someone please post. Maybe it would be good for someone to post directions on how someone who has the app can ID and upload the apk for us. I would, but never done it. I think look in /data/app directory

Play store just compatible the app with Nexus 7
uninstall the old one if you sideloaded, then re-download in Play store if you are on Nexus 7
and I dont know how to take the apk out,,,,,sorry

UPDATE: On my S2 (SGH-i777) running CM9 nightly (July 23) build (though I don't think it matters) I was able to get the Google Play Store to install the updated .apk:
Note: I had the previous version of Live Extra installed from the old .apk
1. Go into Google Play store and search for NBC Live Extra. It should take you to the app page that displays "Open" or "Uninstall".
2. Select "Uninstall". Message displays saying it wasn't installed from the Google Play Store, and asks if you want to uninstall anyway. Confirm that you want to uninstall.
3. After uninstall, the app page will show, displaying the blue Install button. Select Install, and it should d/l and install the updated (today) version. It's about 12.75 MB I think.
I'll try to post the updated apk later, if this site will let me post files that large.
One thing I didn't consider until now is that...maybe the app actually is compatible with the S2 i777 now, and I never knew until i uninstalled the old apk, in which case I really didn't figure out anything groundbreaking. I don't think that's the case though b/c Google Play wasn't offering to update my old Live Extra app when it was installed.

Screen Recorder from Note 2 apk

Seeing as there was a system dump for the note 2 last night, does anyone have a list yet of of compatible new note apps that will work on galaxy s3? I saw a couple apps in the system dump file list, but didnt know what some of them were and didnt know the effect they would have on the phone. Honestly im only interested in one app (and so should everybody as well! LOL). It's the screen recorder app.(lets you record audio and video on screen while in menus and such) I tried installing the apk for it a fews mintues ago and I got an error parsing the package message. Any tips on how to get this apk installed? Am I missing a step? Thanks

Can you get me a link to the thread of the dump?

I dunno, I'd be interested in the Note 2 screen recorder as well. Tried the screencast demo and the finished products flickered a lot. I'm on 4.0.4 too, so it's none of the jb flickering issues. Tried viewing them on Mobo player as screencast suggests, same results.

NEW! Google Play Store 3.9.16

just released today, get it here! link below...
What's New
The most notable and immediately apparent new feature is the long overdue ability to remove apps you've previously downloaded from the All Apps list. If you like to try a lot of apps, that list is likely very cluttered. With the new Google Play, you can trim it to your heart's content.
Update #1: You can multi-select by long-pressing any app in the list and then tapping more apps, then delete them all in one go (added 2 new screenshots demonstrating it).
Update #2: The new Play Store now keeps track of your location in lists, including My Apps and All Apps, so when you click into an app and back, it drops you into the same spot. I had variable luck with this, and it didn't seem to work in All Apps at first, but I just reproduced it on both the EVO LTE and the Nexus 7. Brilliant.
Update #3: The notification icon that shows up when you have app updates has changed, and notifications are now expandable. I've added more screenshots showing the differences.

It took me a minute to go through my whole list of downloaded apps (I tried out just about everything lol) but finally...now down to a manageable list. Still not exiting back to last place (got to go through the list from the top) but it is ok. Now if we could sort the way we want (download date, alphabetical, paid, free, etc.), I think I'll be set.

however I am running MIUI and when i go to install the apk it says that there is already an existing package by the same name with a confliciting signature already installed.. i tried to go to into the system and del / rename the market apk but could not find it in the /system/apps.
does anyone know how i can install this on my phone or am i sol for now?
thanks!

Mine allowed me to directly update it. But Titanium Backup is going to be the easiest way to remove the old version.

I adb pushed the apk to /system/app:

but now my search won't work. I'll press the search button but nothing. Also, the suggested results doesn't pop up, either.

It may be installed in /data/app on your phone. Or it is visually named something else. When I went searching for vending.apk all I saw was phonesky.apk. I identified it by the PlayStore icon next to it. I'm not sure, but I think devs can name it anything they want with no ill effects on functionality.
