[Q] Roku streaming from Android Smartphone

Roku has recently updated and app for Android to include local streaming of video files. I, however cannot utilize it because my Galaxy Nexus is not supported. I do not know why it's not supported.
As of this date of writing, per the Google Play website the app supports:
Samsung Galaxy SIII
Samsung Galaxy S4
Nexus 4
HTC One, and
Nexus 7 (2012 model)
I would like to know if there is a way for a rooted Galaxy Nexus to benefit from the app update. I was thinking about build.prop, but I don't want to have to change it back when I'm done using the app.
Thoughts?

Friendly bump.

you would need someone to pull it down in apk form and give it to you, which it might not work.
OR
ask whoever wrote the app to update for the GN

But the likelihood that the app is written specifically for each device would be low, versus the app poling the device to see what it is, and then given the additional features, right?

Shows compatible for my toroplus (in google play). Still showing for you as incompatible? I wouldn't mind sending you the .apk if you want to try it? Are you using a custom dpi for your ROM? I noticed that if I picked anything but 240 or the standard 320 for my gnex, many apps in google play would show up as incompatible.

How to buy Apps and Watch faces on Non-Samsung devices?

Hi Guys.
There is any way to buy apps and watch faces on Non-Samsung devices?
Like with Xposed modules, or faking a samsung device to install the Galaxy Store?

You can access the Galaxy Store on the Wear app.

Can I find the app in Samsung store and does it work in Galaxy Watch Active?

Hi,
Sorry I am new to Samsung watch, Samsung store, and Tizen OS.
I did some research, Samsung Galaxy Watch Active could fit me because I like its stable OS and smooth operation. Before purchasing it, I'd like to make sure if I can find below app in Samsung store and install it into Galaxy Watch Active because one-button inconspicuous voice recording is one important feature I need.

(Sorry I have to put parenthesis in above link because this forum does not allow newbies to post http links)
Can anyone help me check that?
I tried to look for it at Samsung store online but to no avail. I did not know how to find app from there. It seems I have to buy Samsung watch as a gateway to see the app available.
Thanks a lot!:highfive:

I don't remember if it let you search for watch apps without having a watch. With that being said, its a paid app and if its in the galaxy store it should fine for a galaxy gear watch regardless of version
Sent from my SM-N950U using XDA-Developers Legacy app

Secret Recorder and Secret Recorder Pro both appear in the Samsung Store app with a Galaxy Watch.
I believe that both the Galaxy Watch and Galaxy Watch Active run Tizen 4, so the app should be available for the Active as well.

Install app which is not in the store

Hi,
I got a Sony TV with Android TV.
In the app store there is no HBO app since I am in Germany, but I do have an account (from Spain).
Is it possible to install it?
With the phone I was able to do it when being in Spain, but I won't take the TV there in the next holidays
thanks
regards,

Install VPN software like expressvpn and set your location to the US. Then you can install the HBO app.

Will the app then receive updates (without using the VPN)?

Send the apk to the TV from your phone over a file transfer app and install it. The problem with "sideloading" is the app cannot be seen by the normal Home so you have to use a sideloading app from the play store. No it won't get updates this way.

Hi there,
Finally, I got a VPN
I set the country to Spain or US, then I go to the play store but I can't find the HBO app.
Strange,
what am I doing wrong?

You will have to sideload it, i.e. download the apk and install it manually.

Any chance to use Gear watch 4 with Samsung Tablet?

Is there any way to use Samsung Galaxy watch 4 with s Samsung s7FE Tablet?
is there a mod Galaxy wearable app available?
Or does anyone has another tips?

Considering that Galaxy Wearable app is primarily designed for smartphones and may not be officially supported on tablets, you can try other apps such as "Wear OS by Google" or "Strava," may offer compatibility with Samsung Galaxy watches. These apps may provide limited functionality compared to the official Galaxy Wearable app but can still allow you to connect and manage certain aspects of your watch. I have not tried these apps, I found this information on the Internet. I hope it will help you.
