Is there working xbmc with nexus 7 kitkat? - Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A

Hi to all. I have problem with xbmc and my nexus 7 2013. After update of kitkat it seems that the only working versions are the latest night builds of gotham xbmc. But almost all addons are incompatible or videos not working. Is there any pached froyo or gotham version working with addons?

I am going to try to find a working version tonight. I can tell you about Gotham that when it says things are broken in repository, its not really true. The addons just have not been updated to reflect gotham, but when it asks you if you want to disable the addon, just say no, most will still work. Use the xbmchub wizard to make things easier.

if addon is not compatible i can't even install it! Broken is different case.With last updates in nightly builds almost all addons are incompatible, not broken. When you make your tests too please inform me.
xbmchub gives the same or worst results...

I have a Gotham xbmc version that works on my nexus 5. Nightly yes, but it stool works OK. It is named xbmc-2013114-nexus5-master-armeabi-v7a
Hope this helps

That nightly is the 11/14 or 11/15 nightly. My tablet died and I got busy with an emergency right now so I don't know what nightly I have on my nexus 7 but was able to use video add ons before with no issue. The program NaviX was force closing on me when I picked a play list. I get the messages that addons are incompatible, do you want to disable them, I choose no and they still work fine.

they changed something i xbmc development and almost all addons are off and i can't install them. Also xbmc subtitles addon is not in the repos!

I also can't find a decent one that doesn't begin telling me everything is broke or not working/compatible. They say they will have a working version for all android platfoms soon. I doubt it.

it seems that xbmc support is too poor! how to test their alpha images if we have not working addons? let's wait...

Any updates on this? I just got the nightly working, but every (most) plugin is incompatible and won't let me install them.

I'm using the latest nightly (xbmc-20131211-210cf9f-master-armeabi-v7a.apk) from the 11 December from http://ftp.heanet.ie/mirrors/xbmc/nightlies/android/arm/
Most of the add-ons do not work but I haven't had any issues with sound on video playback like most of the other versions.

One I've found was DEC 6 nightly build. Doesn't force close every two minutes maybe once or twice a day. When you get the not working errors just cancel them. Everything works fine from my end. Not moving from this build. Most stable I found.

Same issue here.
Official answer is to use Nightlies, but XBMC automatically marks ALL addons on nightlies as incompatible whether or not it is actually true. Makes nightlies pretty goddamned worthless, and they won't vary from their "monthly" release schedule even for a major compatibility fix.
So basically if you use XBMC... don't ever upgrade your OS version.

One way to get various addons to work is to use the xbmchub wizard from xbmchub.com. When XBMC tells you addons are marked as broken, do you want to disable, just say no to each one. Annoying, but so far other than Navi X I can use my addons without issue.

[Q] New Web Market - OTA Installs

Was wondering if anyone else has tried the new web version of Market today (http://market.android.com), specifically anyone using the CM7 Nightly Builds. It would be great to pick apps in the web version to have installed on your phone OTA, but I'm wondering if the otakiller in CM7 makes this impossible to use. I tried to install one app but nothing seemed to happen. Anyone else try?
I tried it on cm6.1.1 and the latest nightly. Neither worked for me.

Same here. Works like magic
Are the people having success, accessing the web store from their browsers, and the people not having success accessing the web store from their laptops/desktops?
I would think that could make a difference.
EDIT: Now that im at my desktop, i decided to test. I was able to browse/use the market on the desktop web browser, and install OTA directly to my G2 seamlessly. Currently running CM 6.1.1

I think the purpose of having the Android Market on the web is to allow people the ability to view applications and install them OTA, and I don't believe it's supposed used on one's phone. It's very similar to AppBrain.
I love it... super convenient for me.
It's still not working for me - tried it from my laptop, it says that it's installed on the web but nothing happens on the phone. Tried Google's troubleshooting, that didn't work either. Wondering if a full wipe will help fix it but really don't want to go through that again...
It's not working for me either running CM7.
Works well for me using the CM 7 latest nightly (24).

[Q] Android Netflix App for A7?

Does anyone know if the new Android Netfix app will ever work on the A7? I installed it on my EVO and it is sweet! But the screen is TINY!

I don't count on it ever working,but I put playon on mine and it works pretty much perfectly.You can install it on your computer then you are basically steaming but you have Netflix, Hulu CBS,tbs comedycentral,syfy and the list goes on.You can try it out for a couple of weeks for free and then if you want to keep it they are pretty cheap and have several ways to subscribe,from monthly,yearly and even a one time payment for a lifetime subsciption.Anyway I got tired of waiting and got it on sell and haven't looked back.It is more than you can imagine and you can use it on PS3.Xbox,Wii,and several blueray players.Pretty much anything that is DLNP capable .
Anyway didn't mean to ramble but hope this helps.
There is a netflix app available without the checks and already signed. Most have said they can get it running in a gingerbread rom. I haven't been able to get it working on the A7's rom however.

I know that they won't allow it to run on devices that are rooted, but I think if you search the forums you'll find a modded apk that should run.

I had installed the cracked version on my Evo4G and Evo3D, and it installed on the A7 but would never work.
I always ignored the "there is a newer version available" message until I read your post. Works like a charm now... Resolution seems like it sucks a little, but that may have just been the movie I tested with.

I updated to this version and it works well. I've noticed that the resolution starts out bad but rapidly improves. I am really happy with this tablet now. It pretty much does most things I want it to do. Only thing left for me to conquer is moving apps 2 external SD.
Thanks to everyone that has helped develop the mode!
Just wanted to make sure everyone is aware that you can adjust the quality of your stream through netflix. Just head to your account page on netflix.com and towards the bottom is a link to adjust the quality.
I've be seaching for the Elocitymod 1.42a, but haven't been able to find it. Can anyone tell me where I can get it or send a link? Thanks

On my completly factory A7+ I got netflix working only through an account on amazon
Still can't find way for un modified A7+ to get HBO GO
more to point. I cant get netflix audio (or any audio) through hdmi on my ~5 yr old Insignia HD TV, is it possible adjusting stream quality will solve the no audio? I tried it on a new 55" Toshiba and audio/video work perfect (and wow, a 3' tall angry bird is cool)
This has been answerd in old threads as, "some tv's audio works, some don't"
Any new fixes?
Anyway to put screen to sleep while still streaming through hdmi?

CM9 PreAlpha Streaming Video Issues

Not sure if this has already been addressed, but none of my apps work... Netflix, YouTube, hacked Hulu+. I'm guessing this has to do with HWA? Any help would be appreciated.
1st post sent from my ADR6300 using xda premium
the most recent CM9 has HWA built in... i would tend to think that most of those streaming services use Digital Rights Management (DRM) which is probably not working in CM9.

I'm having this same issue. Anyone know a fix?
if you're talking about drk.hd's CM9 kang for inc then if you used the camcorder fix that was posted, i've heard that it breaks youtube, netflix, etc. If you flash the ROM without the camcorder fix then you should be set. At least that's how I understand it. I'm still waiting for CM9 to have more custimization features before I make it my daily driver so I have been holding off on using this ROM very much but I have kept up with that thread and people seemed to have problems when they used the camcorder fix. I guess it is a trade off right now that you will have to decide on if you want to use it as your daily.
I'm currently on the new Nightly CM9 and Incredikernel HWA Beta 2 and, unfortunately, same issue with the hacked Hulu plus .. Sound with scrambled green bars only. However, YouTube works though, and canceled my Netflix.
Anyone out there up to removing the device check on the latest and greatest version of Hulu+?

I've been running drk.hd's latest nightly for a few days now and am loving it. Best ICS I've tried to date. Also using Incredi Beta 2. I didn't do the camcorder fix before install and can confirm what you posted. Haven't attempted netflix but youtube is working great. If they can work a camcorder fix this will be my new daily probably for the rest of my INC's life.

Okay, so I combed over the thread again and found that even with the drivers that were released recently netflix is broken for everyone using this ROM so I'm going to retract my original statement and tell you this: you are not alone. Many people have been asking/complaining about neflix not working in this ROM and unfortunately nobody has been able to deliver as of yet. My ignorance on the topic sprouts from the fact that I don't have a netflix account therefore I don't use netflix and haven't been staying up to date on this particular issue. I am sorry for the confusion but this should set you straight. The ROM does not yet support netflix or hulu playback to my knowledge. Perhaps in the next build?
For me, some of the playback is hit or miss. I might have to reload it a few times to get it to work but eventually things like YouTube will work and I never flashed the camcorder fix. I was also wondering if this is connected to the TwitchTV app not working as well?
So I am a complete noob, however, isn't the version of Netflix dependent on what device you have? I'm pretty sure Hulu is too. Which means since the Incredible doesn't technically support ICS/HWA (?) the apps don't either? YouTube works but it's version is solely based on the Gapps you install (which are made for ICS) and it works. SO maybe port Netflix and Hulu from another device that officially has ICS?

This is just an early alpha, a test to see if the frameworks will run correctly.
The nav-keys are there in-case HW keys are not functional so feedback can still be given and they can be disabled by removing:
qemu.hw.mainkeys=0
in build.prop, this text entry turns the on-screen softkeys on and removing it will disable them
Edit: the next version-up will be far more 'complete' this was just built today on a CM10.1 base that was just built today :x
No more updates?

I was able to setup Google in Browser with my GMail account, but......
And when I try to start playstore after installing the apk,, it starts then goes back to the icon. I think because it needs the Google account info first.
I do have all the other recommendations in FAQ working, including root, etc.

Go to this page. Create an account to allow download of the Google apps installer. Make sure you enable all of the settings including ok to adding Google framework. After doing all of this you will see a slew of Google downloads including the playstore app. My mistake was locating an apk file and installing standalone. That will not work. I uninstalled that APK and used the link I show. Then it works

I am an old time MIUI user back in my Nexus One days when I left IPhone for my first Android. Coolest MIUI stuff is the ultimate amount of themes out there. It does take a lot of extra effort in customizing the way you like a setup, but I find MIUI so refreshing compared to the typical stuff available. I actually find this really responsive including consistent 32Mps download speeds speedtest.net in my home here in Las Vegas. To bad more developers here aren't into working with MIUI. Even though it's still using 4.2.x, everything I need works, including Samsung WatchOn that was posted here on another ROM as a standalone recovery installation with a Kit Kat 4.4.x ROM.
Have you tried the full latest MIUI download for the I9505. Been trying to download that for the last three days. REALLY slow site
Miss the days when there were those English packs that pretty much weeded a lot of the Chinese stuff out, but I can live with that too :good:

OK, a new update is coming tomorrow.
Now that I understand this phone a bit more I can do a more stable version with the next revision.
I'm going to also include the software camera that comes with Xiaomi phones as well, I'll need feedback on it so I'm going to put it in another flashable zip independent of the download link for MIUI.
Also 4.2.2 is cool and all that but I've been prepping a 4.4 base for MIUI v6 as well and working on a solution for OTA update as well.

I am totally sold on going back to MIUI. I forgot how much custom stuff was possible. So include me. More than happy to test stuff too before posting if you want help. Spent three days trying to download from the MIUI world site the slighter later, but bloated version which I assume would have been compatible. I9505. But failed at installing in recovery. I have one app that refuses to work correctly with 4.3 or 4.4 updates, but works perfectly under 4.2, but I can live with updates to newer. I basically have to delete cache files everytime before starting the app. Annoying, but do-able.
PS...what local folder are themes that are downloaded stored in. I couldn't get a .mtz file to install when I manually went on the MIUI world site. Using the THEME app on the phone works. Just have to get past the Chinese texts to figure out how to individually apply separate items such as lock screens etc.
EDIT: The prior MIUI theme installers allowed to pick and choose what aspects of a theme you wanted to install. Could not see how to do this currently, unless I'm missing something.
Keep up the good work...thanks!!!

Apple Music is not working anymore with actual Malaysk ROM

Hi,
after updating to the actual Malaysk ROM from June, Apple Music is not working anymore.
I tired all versions from 0.9.0 up to the actual 0.9.10
Apple Music try to start and the quit.
Any idea?

Given this is an android forum there probably aren't too many apple users.
If it's important to you roll back to a previous working rom.

download 1.2.1 Apple Music .apk from any website and install it.
