[APP] iMediaShare for $0.99 or £0.61

As per the title. I was using the free lite version but at this price it's a no-brainer for me.

That's strange, both the lite version and the paid version work fine on my 3G Nexus. I've even removed the app then reinstalled it from Play store and it downloads fine.

Do u need something to else to make it display on TV? I'm lost....

You need a smart TV that is online. It doesn't even work with a Roku. All the channels looks like duplicate content anyway except you have saved on your phone.
Would be cool if it would work with more stuff.

Maybe you changed your DPI? try switching it back to the original DPI if you did.

As an Apple TV owner, this sale is(was?) a no brainer. It works perfectly despite the disclaimer that its "beta." Photos, music and videos streamed and, moreover, they seemed to load up faster than when I air share with my iPhone. Maybe it's psychosomatic, but I really find this app invaluable.

[Q] Q about apk files

I was under the impression that apps that run on android are APK files - typically found in the data/apps directory of rooted Kindle Fire. I bought a bunch of Dr. Seuss book/apps I wanted to transfer to my granddaughter's Nexus 7 from my Kindle Fire. They're all installed on the Fire but I can't find the APK files. What am I missing?

Are you serious? Your granddaughter? I was under the impression that there are hardly anyone here over 35 years old, and here we have an awesome granny?
** (No offence. I was seriously surprised)

Most books aren't .apk. If they are amazon books they will be some weird file type in sdcard/Books/ you could then get the kindle app on the nexus 7 and just transfer the files from /Books to the /Books on the nexus 7

@Tobias
I think they're talking about those books you buy as apps and they may read the story to you and have animations. Plus, there's a sale on Dr. Suess book apps for his birthday anniversary, so it's likely they're talking about those.

Yup mnt/asec - not so simple as a single apk I can send. Oh well. To make matters worse, her dad already bought most of the same ones on the sale. I'm going to let him log on to my account and download them for her. Hopefully they will work. I've been disgusted to discover that Calengoo doesn't work unless I'm logged on to Amazon. I've gotten rid of most of the kindle fire version of apps and often forget that's what my tablet is. Good thing I'm an old lady or I'd be madly in love with twa-priv!

I have tested kindle fire-specific apps on TWA's ROM, and as long as you are logged into the Amazon appstore, they should mostly work. As far as Calengoo, i there's a Google Play version, right? If you download that, you don't have to have the Amazon appstore

Not sure why but I have to be logged on to Amazon. Google Play lists Calengoo as installed but there is still a link to Amazon somewhere. I get occasional error messages and am required to log in to my Amazon account. Irritating.
Presumably it is because it is a paid app thru Amazon. I've not purchased it separately from Google. But why does an app that is specifically designed for syncing with my Google calendar need me to be logged on to Amazon??!! Geez!!

I have an account for that site, and use it all the time. All you should need to do is put in a 4 letter code to download. Are you sure you didn't follow an ad? I did not mean to lead you to a false lead. Sorry if it doesn't work out for you.
-- edit-- make sure you click the "free download" link in green under the description.

Same here. Need to login. Does bugmenot.com work here?
- Edit - http://bugmenot.com/view/hiapphere.com might help you. :thumbup:

In reference to the original question, an app that can make back-up apks will usually display every application installed on the device and allow you to make back-ups of those apks. I use "File Expert" but many more are available. That eliminates the need to manually search for the files It's easy to send the back-ups to any folder of your choosing.

How exactly do I use this? I have a smart tv linked to my local wireless lan. Would it be possible to share media between the two? If so, how? All I get is .. Searching for players.

NO! this does not work with chromecast. it will work with DLNA-enabled TVs.
according to android authority:
"Starting in AllCast Beta 7, users can now cast their Google Drive and locally stored content over to any DLNA-capable device including many popular game systems (Xbox One, PS3, etc), Apple TV and most smart TVs. Due to the currently locked nature of Chromecast, the app does not support Google’s streaming device, however."

Unfortunately loads of people are reporting that Allcast beta 7 doesn't work with the PS3, but I found a work around if you have a Samsung galaxy phone:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dqu7BPqjo4s&feature=youtube_gdata_player
Only works well with 720p mp4 and avi content.

What's with all those updates recently?
I received 3 alone yesterday, one today also dated back for yesterday.
Changing version numbers, but no changelog or other version history in the PlayStore.
PS
merry xmas!

Is there a way - even using root - to increase subtitle font?

Youtube.com/tv app Request

You Tube fire TV app

Many thanks.

Thanks, but the app isn't there. theres only de apks for the normal youtube app and the you tube app for google tv......

Looking for the same thing I called customer service they told me they are working on a new app for geo error we are getting but I don't know how long that will be if some one can adb pull there YouTube app and share it here would truly appreciate it that way we can sideload it and see if that works
Sent from my Evo 3D CDMA using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

Nobody in here that can actually provide a copy of the Youtube apk for FireTV? I'm having the same problem here. When I try and buy any of the free apps on the Fire TV, I get the good old geo-restriction errors. Also cant get them using a web-browser. The APK's that are available from the Play Store and the one for the Google TV are not ideal.
Could somebody please try and see if they have the apk they could upload somewhere so we can adb it to our devices? Great many thanks to someone willing to help out here!

???
What about the YouTube HD MOD also found here on XDA as a direct apk download?
Then again I want one with unrestricted access that doesn't block certain videos because of Android.
Some of Pewdiepie's videos (BattleBlock Theater Part #3) don't appear on his channel through the app,but I can find them by directly searching for them in the app.

Hey, guys, try this, just pulled from my device for you.

This one was installed using Play store, it's a google tv version. I like it.

Have you tried YouTube for XBMC?
Not sure if the Youtube XBMC add-on will solve your problems but it's worth a shot for sure.

Extracting Playstation Vue app

I'm 90% sure the answer will be along the lines of either it's impossible, or you would have to edit the app to make it work on android.
But is there a way to extract the Playstation Vue app from the fire tv and run it on your phone?
Is it at least feasible?
TIA

Pretty easy. Back it up with es file explorer and send it to your device. It'll probably install but most likely you'll need amazon app store for it to work. From there I'm not sure. Give it a try

Thanks. I'll try that tomorrow and report the results!
EDIT:
Well, I downloaded it using apps2fire.
It installed on my phone, but when I open the app, it says it's not authorized on this device.
I figured as much.
Guess there's not really much one can do, is there?

That was expected. That's all I know. The app is made to work for fire devices so unless you can trick it into thinking it's running on those...and I don't know that there is. I remember awhile back trying to get a game that was free for fire tv (paid for android) to work and had no luck.

There is a post on xda somewhere which tells you how to put the app on a non Sony device, I done this before on my Motorola xoom & my Samsung S5, after you put the app on you have to change the data & obb files for the app in Android/ to make it work, do a Google search or a xda search & I'm sure your find it.
(Sorry I thought you ment the older the one with the games not the newer app which streams tv)
But maybe this is possible soon? But it looks like if your in the right part of the world at the moment you can get it & even download it from the amazon store
Hope this helps If so press that thanks button

Thanks guys.
It's not really a necessity, more of a curiosity.
Also, deanr1997, I don't think there's an app for Sony devices either.
Far as I know it's iOS and fire tv only, besides ps3 and ps4, of course.

Ah ok, gotcha.
Yeah, it's a real great service. I'm streaming ps4, ps3 and fire tv simultaneously with great picture quality.
I get better channels then I had with dish, and for $55 instead of the $150 I used to pay.
But dish did have a mobile app that I could watch TV on the go.
Not so with psvue.
In any case, it's well worth it.

Just too add a little info about how this limitation might be working. I have 3 firetv devices and one of them is a rooted Fire TV v1. The prerooted stock 5.05 image is not yet available for this device so it is my only device that isn't on the latest firmware. It appears that the VUE app is checking if you are on the correct version of the Fire OS as VUE does not work on my V1 box but works fine on the other two.

I would like to try this but not sure it's available in the UK yet?

can you see what your build.prop looks like on the FireTV? you may be able to just manually edit it to trick the app into thinking it is a different device. What this might do to the rest of the apps however, I am not sure.

Anyone have any luck on this? I was able to install the android tv app on my S5 but it wont find a network for some reason. Would be great to have the fire tv version on a mobile device.

can you help me download kodinolimits i cleared all data from my box when I try to download it it says error check log

I read through the thread, and maybe missed it somewhere, but what exactly are you trying to do with the PSVue app after you extract? Or I guess more iportantly, what is the intent of your post? Outside of the obvious as you stated initially. This thing was a pain in the ass to get going on my rooted firetvs and sticks.
