[Q] Roku streaming from Android Smartphone - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

Roku has recently updated and app for Android to include local streaming of video files. I, however cannot utilize it because my Galaxy Nexus is not supported. I do not know why it's not supported.
As of this date of writing, per the Google Play website the app supports:
Samsung Galaxy SIII
Samsung Galaxy S4
Nexus 4
HTC One, and
Nexus 7 (2012 model)
I would like to know if there is a way for a rooted Galaxy Nexus to benefit from the app update. I was thinking about build.prop, but I don't want to have to change it back when I'm done using the app.
Thoughts?

Friendly bump.

you would need someone to pull it down in apk form and give it to you, which it might not work.
OR
ask whoever wrote the app to update for the GN

But the likelihood that the app is written specifically for each device would be low, versus the app poling the device to see what it is, and then given the additional features, right?

Shows compatible for my toroplus (in google play). Still showing for you as incompatible? I wouldn't mind sending you the .apk if you want to try it? Are you using a custom dpi for your ROM? I noticed that if I picked anything but 240 or the standard 320 for my gnex, many apps in google play would show up as incompatible.

Video maker on the note 2 n7005???

Hi all,
I am getting my note 2 4G n7005 in 8 days.
I have googled this, but no one can give a definitive answer.
I have a galaxy s2, and I really like the video maker app on it.
Can anyone confirm if the note 2 has this app, if not, is it available from the Samsung app store for the note 2 (I know it's in the Samsung app store, but can anyone confirm if it can be installed on the n2).
If the answer is no to the above, is it possible to extract the apk from a s3 and put it in system apps on the note 2? Or will it just force close?.
I just really need someone to confirm this.
Thanks
Cheers
Corey

Short answer: it doesn't come with a video editor app installed (although you can trim videos).
This thread has an apk to a video editor (which might be the one on the s3).
I installed it and it should have everything you need. I did notice that it did ask for loads of permissions (some of which I would think aren't needed), but maybe this was just the way the apk was ripped.
Anyway, I installed it, checked it out (looks good) and then uninstalled it (I don't really need it and I was a little bit worried about the permissions).

There is a video editor app in the Samsung apps store which I have installed and it works fine.
However, it doesn't support mp4 files which the slo-mo camera produces

From the icon, that looks to be the same video editor as the one I linked to.
EDIT: Also, strangely, I am nearly sure that app wasn't there 2 days ago when I checked on the samsung apps on my phone! The version date is marked 16th November, so I wonder if they only recently added support for galaxy note 2.

Maybe - I had a similar thing with Plants vs Zombies. One day it wasn't in the Play store and the next it was. Must have forgotten to press a switch

How to get more apps?

So i just got a new Samsung galaxy nexus (first smartphone) and I checked out the app store (Play Store) and i noticed there are barely any apps for games. Does anyone know how to get or find more apps? I saw on some videos with people with a ton of games for their nexus.
Do i need to upgrade to 4.2 or something?

Samsung ebooks on Nexus 7

Has anyone found a way to read/access ebooks purchased from Samsung on a Nexus 7? I have a couple of books purchased on my Galaxy 10.1 2014 edition that I would like to read on my N7. I can install Samsung Hub but it crashes won't open. I installed Readers hub, which opens briefly before it restarts the N7... I tried editing the build.prop to make it look like a galaxy s4, but no difference...
Does anyone know how to do this?

Are you happy that the embeded DRM isn't the problem? - if it is then I guess that drm removal is not an allowed topic here.
Have a look on the play store at Aldiko https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.aldiko.android that software has AFAIK the longest list of supported formats. If you then look at https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.kitapyum.mobile.android.ebook that is the Turkish (looks like it could be bilingual) Samsung ebook reader. The look and feel of the software looks very similar to Aldiko

Thanks but these books have drm and I don't know how to remove them. I can buy and convert Kindle and Google books which are accessible on pretty much any device, but I can't seem to do anything with my Samsung ebook purchases on my Note 10.1 (2014). I can't even access them on another Samsung tablet from the same family that's still current! (Note 8).
Does anyone have any ideas?

Can I find the app in Samsung store and does it work in Galaxy Watch Active?

Hi,
Sorry I am new to Samsung watch, Samsung store, and Tizen OS.
I did some research, Samsung Galaxy Watch Active could fit me because I like its stable OS and smooth operation. Before purchasing it, I'd like to make sure if I can find below app in Samsung store and install it into Galaxy Watch Active because one-button inconspicuous voice recording is one important feature I need.

(Sorry I have to put parenthesis in above link because this forum does not allow newbies to post http links)
Can anyone help me check that?
I tried to look for it at Samsung store online but to no avail. I did not know how to find app from there. It seems I have to buy Samsung watch as a gateway to see the app available.
Thanks a lot!:highfive:
I don't remember if it let you search for watch apps without having a watch. With that being said, its a paid app and if its in the galaxy store it should fine for a galaxy gear watch regardless of version

Secret Recorder and Secret Recorder Pro both appear in the Samsung Store app with a Galaxy Watch.
I believe that both the Galaxy Watch and Galaxy Watch Active run Tizen 4, so the app should be available for the Active as well.

Any chance to use Gear watch 4 with Samsung Tablet?

Is there any way to use Samsung Galaxy watch 4 with s Samsung s7FE Tablet?
is there a mod Galaxy wearable app available?
Or does anyone has another tips?
Considering that Galaxy Wearable app is primarily designed for smartphones and may not be officially supported on tablets, you can try other apps such as "Wear OS by Google" or "Strava," may offer compatibility with Samsung Galaxy watches. These apps may provide limited functionality compared to the official Galaxy Wearable app but can still allow you to connect and manage certain aspects of your watch. I have not tried these apps, I found this information on the Internet. I hope it will help you.
