Figure this may be useful as the stock music player installed on the Galaxy Nexus is all setup ready for the cloud based goodness of Google Music, but it's a service supposedly only available in the US at the moment.
To work around that, try the following (worked for me, YMMV):
Download the appropriate version of Tor Browser bundle for your platform from:
https://www.torproject.org/projects/torbrowser.html.en
Install, load up the Vidalia control panel and click "Settings"
Navigate to the advanced section, click "Edit current torrc"
Paste the following into the bottom of the torrc file:
ExcludeNodes {be},{pl},{ca},{za},{vn},{uz},{ua},{tw},{tr},{th},{sk},{sg},{se},{sd},{sa},{ru},{ro},{pt},{ph},{pa},{nz},{np},{no},{my},{mx},{md},{lv},{lu},{kr},{jp},{it},{ir},{il},{ie},{id},{hr},{hk},{gr},{gi},{gb},{fi},{es},{ee},{dk},{cz},{cy},{cr},{co},{cn},{cl},{ci},{ch},{by},{br},{bg},{au},{at},{ar},{aq},{ao},{ae},{nl},{de},{fr}
(This will force Tor to use a US exit node)
Save the settings, restart Tor.
In the Tor tunneled Firefox that's now running, visit:
http://music.google.com
If you get an error about it only being available in the US, go back to the Tor Vidalia control panel and click the "Use a new identity" button (to pick a new exit node) and refresh the page. Repeat until you get a Google music login box.
Try signing in with your existing Google account - this worked fine for me but there seem to be conflicting reports about whether it works in all cases for non-US accounts.
If not, you may have to setup a new GMail account solely for Google Music use. Be sure to create the account using the Tor tunneled Firefox so that Google think you're in the US when you sign up.
Once you've logged in to Google Music once and accepted the T&Cs (maybe grab the dire Busta Rhymes freebie track to check its all working) you can ditch Tor - Google Music will quite happily now let you access and upload music from the UK.
Load up the Music Player, link the newly Google Music enabled account to it, enjoy.
thanks
streaming on my device is quite nice, but i have to wait until the song is fully loaded to start it (in Music-app)... little bit annoying
A much easier way to do it is just use a proxy website (like those ones to get around school/work firewalls). The majority are based in the US.
I used the first link that came up on a Google search to sign up for Google Music back around the time it launched. Less hassle than downloading software etc.
The only real problem is that you can't access the store, which means you can't get any of the free music or buy anything.
You still get the syncing and upload abilities though, which is quite nice. I just need to sort out my music collection now before I upload it
I know that's probably a bit stupid but I can't install the app from the market. It downloads correctly but when it wants to install the app it says it isn't signed properly or so. Is this because it isn't developed for the desire? I would like to use it until my nexus arrives.

You need to uninstall any previous versions and also make sure you clear data under application settings

Found an interesting thread about it.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1350164
I keep getting an 'error at line 1' message when I click on OK. Even without entering any extra text I also get it
The 'error at line x' is something to do with Windows 7 (possibly x64) editing the torrc file. Had the same issue...
Easiest fix is to go to the Tor folder/data/tor/ then open 'torrc' with Notepad manually. Edit the file by hand, save and restart Tor and it'll accept the changes fine.
I used TunnelBear on my PC to trick Google into thinking I Was in the USA, then accessed Google Music over the internet and registered for the service.
Then on my phone, I downloaded the Music APK from this XDA page and installed it on my phone.
Works fine for me for playing music on my phone and music off my computer which has been uploaded to the cloud.
Play still won't give you access to the music section though as it's not licensed still for UK use.
lol. what's the problem: i'm using music beta since last november here in germany even though its not even released here.
Hmm, used Tor and got my account linked to Google Music. I'm now uploading an album just fine, but when I try to use the Music Manager to listen to the songs, it still says it's only available in the US.
If you're like me, you regularly forget your data cable at home, in hotels or at the 24-hour Pokemon Trading Card Repository. In such cases, 2011's New App of the Year, AirDroid, is a lifesaver. It's an incredibly comprehensive remote management app that lets you access your Android device via a desktop web browser, complete with file management, app installations, photo browser, and lots more. The creators are ready to step up their game with the second version of AirDroid, and have set up an invite-only beta.
The only feature confirmed by the AirDroid team is the ability to create an account and log into remote management from anywhere, which presumably includes mobile networks. This would mirror various PC remote access services, with the notable exception of actual screen control. Given the amount of polish that the original AirDroid already shows, I'm sure there will be plenty more crammed in as well.
Invites should be going out soon, so sign up if you want to get in. The beta will be three months long, give or take, after which everyone else should be able to join in the party. And if you haven't checked out the original yet, what are you waiting for

The great thing about AirDroid is that it works - it's easy to start up, and functions flawlessly (in my experience). The interface is also very polished - mimicking a desktop launcher complete with moveable icons, a task bar, and controls that allow you to do just about anything.
One of the most impressive features is the ability to access SMS messages, manage them, and send messages right from a web browser. Users can also manage contacts, uninstall/backup apps (AirDroid will download your apps as apk files), browse files, access the Android Market, and manage music and ringtones, in addition to the ability to look at phone information from CPU status to battery level and beyond.
Best of all, AirDroid is completely free from the Android Market. With all the powerful features it offers, this app is certainly worth checking out.
ITS FREE

i am using airdroid a lot at home, because it is working very good and very fast and the UI is very good, but the only problem in my opinion is that you need to connect to a shared wifi net....is there any program witch uses the WIFI direct function of the samsung galaxy s2 or that i can log in into a adhoc network?

Hey what's up guys. Not sure if this has already been discussed but I was wondering if there was a way to activate the pop up browser without actually clicking on link. As many of you know we are somewhat limited on the applications we can use in split screen mode. But I noticed if I already have pop up browser open I am able to navigate to almost any application on the phone. It would be great to quickly look something up while already in a game or in an app that does not support multi window.
Any ideas?

Yes, I downloaded this and I'm positive it is exactly what you are looking for. It DOES work on my t-mo GN2 without a problem

here is a news post about it as well. http://www.xda-developers.com/andro...er-without-clicking-links-on-the-galaxy-note/
it is in pure apk form(simple dl and install) and will create an app. You could launch it without clicking any links, just like you would launch the stock browser.
I am 99% that is the one i downloaded and it works perfect for me

Hi, All:
The other day I needed to study and take notes on a few Powerpoint slides, so I decided to take over the living television and make it my giant computer monitor. The only problem was, my HDMI cable didn't reach the couch, so I needed to find a way to remotely control my laptop. After a few minutes of browsing the Play Store, I found WiFi Mouse. One Android app install and one quick and easy computer app install later, all I had to do was tap the "auto connect" button and I was up and running. My Galaxy Nexus became a trackpad that was connected via my home WiFi network. There's even a scroll wheel in portrait mode, as well as the ability to use the Android keyboard for typing. I was also able to scroll using two finger gestures and move windows and icons using three fingers. All these features were included in the free version that I downloaded, which met my needs perfectly. For those that want extra features like hotkeys, dedicated minimize/maximize/close buttons, and an in-app keyboard, there is a paid version available for $2.99.

Team viewer is really handy, use it to help out the folks for trouble shooting their PCs, has saved me a lot of time/$ not having to drive there since they forgot how to print/upload/login.
LOL
Convenience
Easy to setup and use, the only downside is this app makes me lazy haha.
Easy to use and turns your phone in to your remote control. Love it
Real vnc is the best for me. You need a dynamic dns if you want to connect from Internet but it is very smooth and secure.
Really easy to use and to install, and a really good app overall.
WiFi Mouse maybe the best remote control app.

Works well and love sitting on the couch and being able to surf the web.
Phone My PC (http://softwareforme.com/?page_id=6) is by far the best imho. Rather then have to move the mouse around, you can just click on any area of the screen.
Aside from that, if you enable RDP on your computer you can use Microsoft's offical RDP app.
Chrome also just put out an official Android App for Chrome's remote desktop extension.
WiFi Mouse works perfect, auto connect and full screen keyboard are what i want.
Good app, it suitable for close control of the computer. Respond rapidly.
Thanks for sharing this awesome app, saving me a lot of money for a BT mouse.
¡¡IMPORTANT!! -I'm not the developer of this app, or affiliated with the devs. Just want to share my experience
Hi everyone,
One of my biggest problem with the fire tv stick was to find the apks of the android tv version of an app, which usually isn't the same apk that you have installed on your phone (and are impossible to find ). I found this app called YalpStore that basically lets you download apps from the play store as an android tv device and doesn't require Google play services.
How to use:
-Download the app from xda labs and sideload it on your fire tv
-Open the app, click on the menu button on your remote and select "search"
-if asked, select "log in without google account"(experimental)
-to navigate inside the app, you may need the "mouse toggle" app to emulate a mouse pointer (or a Bluetooth mouse)
Install the apps and enjoy
Link from xda labs:
https://labs.xda-developers.com/store/app/com.github.yeriomin.yalpstore
Hope it is useful
I just found this app too. Using my google account I was able to download apps that I have paid for and directly load the and install the app. There is a tutorial https://www.reddit.com/r/AndroidGaming/comments/7il7qx/tutorial_how_to_download_any_android_tv_game/ You can download the Yalp app https://labs.xda-developers.com/store/app/com.github.yeriomin.yalpstorehttp://
I don't believe you need to be rooted to use this Yalp.
Within Yalp are some options to blacklist andn whitelest apps but I have not experimented to see if that has any validity on my Firstick 1, x5.2.6.0, rooted.
nice

Hi, thanks for this so useful app,
But the search return always nothing,
Although the apps appears in the categories menu, but the search doesn't work at all...

Hope you will fix it soon :good:

Seems like developer just abandoned this project. And based on commit history He's missing himself since October 2018.
I'd recommend Yalp's fork - AuroraStore. Though didn't use it myself, it's at least have active commits...
