You can just download the APK from the XBMC website and install it on the tab. It works fine on the G Pad, however unless your hooking it up to a TV via a dock or MHL adapter, your best sticking with a basic media player for playing files on the tab itself.
I can't post links yet but Google 'XBMX Android' and it's the first link!
yes you can workni great so far!

With a decent internet connection, XBMC works very well on the stock rom or with the Malladus custom rom.It doesn't work with any of the Kit Kat-based custom roms currently available. Which is why I can't use the latter.
The best results I've obtained have been with the XAF build of XBMC. This is the version that automatically uses MX Player to play back video. It's free from many of the issues that can affect playback using XBMC's native player.
1. You install MX Player (free version) from the Play Store and run it once. Go to settings/decoder and check H/W + (for smooth hardware acceleration).
2. You install the XAF build of XBMC, which used to be found here, thanks to a developer. I think the link still works.

3. Search any recent on-line guide to how to set up XBMC add-ons, especially from XBMChub and Xunity. What is available will amaze you.

Great, glad you're getting on ok with 12.3.
I should clarify: none of the XBMC Frodo builds, including 12.3, is hardware accelerated. For the smooth playback of all true HD video, you need that. That's why I use the XAF build, because it relies on MX player and its superb hardware acceleration. That combo can handle just about any type of streamed video.

I'm pretty sure I wasn't imagining things but I successfully went on megavideo and watched an episode of the scrubs (=P) but now when I try it says this type of flash is not supported :S and on Youtube it used to load videos fullscreen when I pressed play but now it says Go Upgrade...
Is this due to a new firmware update? I heard a new one was released but I never went through any installing process.
I'd like my megavideo and Youtube back! =O Any ideas?
Thanks in advance.
I've noticed video on the BBC website isn't working now either which it was working fine before.....
same thing here, youtube videos says, go upgrade....
The desire runs flash lite version 4. YouTube, iPlayer and most other flash apps run on the full version of flash, 10.1. Some things in 10.1 won't be backward compatible with Flash lite 4, so won't display correctly, or even run atall. When Android gets flash support officially it will run 10.1 but for now,you will have to do with the app variants.
ah but why could I view them before?

I think they might have updated their application, and perhaps increased the minimal version number needed. That would explain why you get that message now.
I've been getting this too, been trying to load videos from various sources, as flash seemed to work in Farmville on facebook (I almost died when I saw it loaded up), and now nothing, the only ones that work for me are youtube videos, which I believe are handled through the HTC Streaming app. All other flash files on sites just give me the yellow '!' triangle, not a pretty sight at all.

Does anyone know if it's possible to get the SmartShare app that comes with LG phones to work with the S3? Just got an LG smart TV and want to use this feature. I did find an APK, but it just force closes after installation with the message 'manufacturer not match'

No it never will and never was! Works with LG's verry well, don't get the OP's point why he wants the SmartShare app if AllShare can do the same...
DLNA is a standard so should work with ALL DLNA capable products!
Only screen mirror and that kind of (non_DLNA) functions will work per brand...
I actually find BubbleUPnP better than AllShare too as you can assign a different video player app - take a look at that if you're not a fan of AllShare.

No Allshare app is only for Samsung devices for now. Samsung wants to include other brands too eventually but for now all Samsung devices can be connected thru it. My LG smart tv is not recognized on it and just like allshare, LG has their own Smartshare. OP can still use DLNA directly on S3 to connect his TV but allshare would only work with Samsung devices
I have actually patched the manufacturer check but it crashes on my Nexus 7... I will share apk here so you can test it on your device.
NOTE: I do not think this is going to work on any device exept LG becouse of some kernel modules that are developed by LG and included only in their phones.
Does not works :crying:

Just installed the pre beta of XBMC on the N7! For a pre beta, this app is really polished. Some buggy touchscreen things on the main skin but the touch skin works awesome. I set up my smb share and it recognized and downloaded all the info for my movies and TV shows. Can't wait to see how this app turns out when its out of beta!
Might I ask where you got the apk from?
I don't suppose its the same as this one is it?
Just about to try that on my N7...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1772433</p><p>
Tested on N7
Tried it out, and it did work with SMB shares right away. Always have loved XMBC on many of my home network devices (wife does too). The resolution needs some work and it would not landscape correctly but all other loved XBMC options were there and it looks really promising! Nice work to the Devs!
Thanks for the heads up, this is exactly what I needed!
Love it!

You shouldn't need xbmc on another machine to get it to work on your android tablet, within xbmc video(or music and pictures), click on on add videos and the choose source and navigate(through SMB shares) to get to the share you want to add.

xbmc is not a host/transcoder software. it plays media, it doesn't stream it to other devices. as another poster mentioned, you are accessing media directly from the smb shares.
OK thanks for your reply. I am relatively new to xbmc. I came from tversity due to the massively better library functionality of xbmc.

I tried the XBMC on the N7 and agree it works well! Going forward, I doubt I'll use this because if I want to watch movies, I just play them via my JB'd Apple TV2 running XBMC. I do however love using the XBMC Official Remote app on the N7. Makes browsing libraries so much easier.
Everything works for me. I, using the channel one repository but I'm only getting the video yo play in SD.. how do I gry HD playback?

Yes you can share videos from your laptop - You can use SMB shares on Windows by setting up a workgroup. Have a look at the XBMC forums as they have a lot of wiki pages with a lot of info.
Hello folks,
since I'm a new user on these forums I can't post my question directly to the Viper4Android-thread, so I have to do it here.
I recently purchased a Nexus-7-tablet (2013-version) and can't get Viper4Android to actually work.
I can start it, the driver-installation was fine, but the Equalizer is just not doing anything.
Is there anything I missed? Maybe there isn't any compatibility for my device?
The hell I know
Could anyone please help me out?

When you are playing music what does it show under status?
Have you tried changing to compatibility mode or safe mode? Is your SupserSU up to date?
Also, in the main thread, most people can't get it to work on Spotify, and there are still a few issues getting it to work on 4.3

Hi guys,
I recently bought Nexus 7 2013 and i have installed VIperdandroid. It works awesome when i listen to songs from Play music but when i watch any movie there is no sound effects that i get while listening to music. I have used BS player and now MX player but still couldn't find an improvement Any help would be appreciated. Thanks
For me V4A only works with Poweramp and Soumi music player. HTC Sensation with most applications running on 4.1.2 JB. I do not know if it's a matter of KitKat or lack of ability to edit build.prop.
I noticed there are quite a few apps that Viper4Android don't work with too. It's great when it does work though.

Sounds like you might be using a cracked version? This is likely the issue. Probably nothing to do with Zenfone 2. Not saying this is absolutely the case, just best guess.

Because the Play Store knows what kind of device you have, in this case an x86 architecture device and not ARM, and downloads to you the appropriate version of the app. The cracked apk you found is very much certain that it is for ARM devices as these are the most common.

ARM byte code works on x86 too, otherwise many apps wouldn't work. I thought that was the case, but the day I forgot to change the target architecture on my Unity Editor I found that out.
However, native code might have to be compiled to these target architectures... but I'm not sure. I've yet to learn that kind of stuff about Android.
EDIT: I just found out: Android has this thing called Houdini, which translates ARM instructions to x86 and makes almost everything work completely fine. However, there could be some extremely rare cases were that might not work... it could be the case here.
Just... avoid cracked stuff. It hurts the developer, in the best of cases. It could harm you, in the worst. How do you think crackers devote time to cracking apps? I personally know that it is what happens on desktop land, and I'm pretty sure I've heard a couple of cases on Android.

AFAIK no. The Houdini Binary Translator is almost at kernel level, as you can see in the attached picture. There are specific x86 libraries, though, which are used by x86 compiled applications.

Problem solved.
I choosed to install apk as a system app with Lucky Patcher (Rebuild & Install -> choosing apk path -> Install as a System App). After that I rebooted phone and then installed apk normally without Lucky Patcher.
Do not know why I was unable to install it before. My phone is rooted with Xposed framework. I cleared system and Dalvik cache but installation of MX Player still failed. Problem was only with MX player installation.
Hope this informations will be useful for someone.
