Sbeam and nfc

So I'm rooted with vanilla root box, and my friend has the s3 as well, stock unrooted however. I can beam him pics and apps, but can't get anything from him, just says beam failed.
Furthermore, what's the difference between sbeam and NFC?

Nobody knows anything on the subject? How odd...

So this is one of those topics nobody anywhere in XDA knows about? None of you use sbeam or NFC?

AOSP uses Android Beam. Stock uses SBeam ("groundbreaking" Samsung technology). Looks like SBeam isn't fully compatible with Android Beam.
NFC is Near Field Communcation. You can Google that one.

I know what it stands for, but what you're saying is NFC is the technology sending the data, but abeam is just the name of the protocol they use to utilize it?

multi window or taking app?

Wanna run YouTube in the background so I can leave the app without breaking my experience/audio

Look up viral on the play store, it's an alternative YouTube application that does exactly this.

|Q| bypass play store restriction?

Is there a way to bypass "this app isn't compatible with your device" on the play store? I tried am exposed module, clearing caches for play store and play services and market helper to no avail. I'm in cm11.

That version isn't the real thing, requires time wasting ads to just to download app.

There are a couple modded play stores floating around. It all depends on what exactly is preventing you from downloading the app. Developers have the option to limit based off device, carrier, dpi, and country.

Tablet apps?

Dumb question but is there any way to run an app like next issue? It's available for iPhone but on android it seems to only work on tablets. Tried side loading to no avail.

There is an app called 'Issuu' that is compatible with most phones. That's the only app I can think of that would come closest to what you're looking for

Maybe use an exposed modal to spoof play store into thinking u have a tablet... or doing it manually in the build prop..

Security hack?

This was just posted by one of our local news stations. It mentions SwiftKey keyboard (which I currently use) and all Samsung Galaxy phones. Thought it might be something to look at.
