Order and Choos version 1.0.3 is now officially supported for Xoom and A500. However, I'm an Asus TF101 owner (sucks to be me) and cannot DL from market. Keen to hear from anyone how the new version stacks up with official honeycomb support.
It still says game is not compatible with your device. The update notes show support but I can't get it to download. Has anyone else been successful?
It also shows support on gameloft and is for sale $4.99. They also don't recognize my purchase order # from Android Market.

Did you pay for it on your device and try to download it? I have an unrooted wifi xoom that I was able to download and start playing with.
In case you still dont have it working....I just bought my xoom today and was getting the same error when trying to open the game. I called gameloft and they emailed me a download link. Went to my downloads in astro and installed it from there. Seems to be working now.. Its currently downloading the extra 677.4 MB but it has opened further so far than it ever has. If it ends up with the same error I'll let you know, if it works I'll be busy playing lol good luck.

Am thoroughly enjoying my N7, as I imagine, you are yours!
Here's a quandary I'm facing: I am an Amazon Prime member, and enjoy their video selection--both the free and for sale/rental. I mostly use Linux on my PC's. Amazon's streaming video uses Flash, which works fine in Linux, but not on the N7. I've thought about Netflix, but they're not (and probably never will be) Linux-compatible. However, Netflix is very Android/N7 compatible. All that put together, means I can't find a streaming service that works the way I do.
Anyone else in the same boat? What are you trying as a solution?
I was able to get flash working using Firefox and flash (both were side loaded) I found some helpful information searching on xda on how to get that working. Results have been outstanding for my friend who logs into a flash enabled site for realtor work. Haven't tested amazon videos yet but i will. Important: Chrome does not support Flash and the plan is that it never will.
Netflix works great. I sometimes really hate their isn't more selection. I keep it because my Dad uses it.
HBOgo doesn't work yet. I will be watching for a update because i have Directv and will install it as soon as it is available.
I already pulled some DVD's over (Star Wars, Finding Nemo) Handbreak and other software to get that on the nexus 7, looks and sounds fantastic. Everyone at work went crazy when they saw Emire Strikes back running.
I haven't tried or researched true streaming from my pc on my home network yet. I think that would be fantastic since I have a lot of content stored in avi's and other formats.
So far my tablet and my wife's are just amazing. She has the 8 Gig and I have the 16 Gig. We have both had ours since Tuesday.
I still am on the fence about the damn NexusQ. I would really like one but for 299.00 it just seems like I could buy another nexus 7 or something else instead. If that thing supported more than 2 speakers on its own I would have probably have tried to setup the extra speaker set I have in my office with one of those.
We need to get a really good software suggestion for nexus 7 thread going. Freenote, Moon+ reader, Cloud print, Sprinkle free have all been useful or fun to try. Sketchbook mobile works great. I am waiting on a screen protector before I try drawing with my dagi stylus.
I'm in the same boat...I was thinking about trying to load flash somehow...

In regards to Handbrake what format did you choose when converting the video. I'm guessing it was an avi?
Apple tv 2 is what i pick when I use handbreak, I noticed on the tablet while watching the movie that there are a few sounds streams, pick the 2nd one and you should be able to go higher on the volume.
The files are converted to m4v format and if you put them in the movies folder they show up and run right out of the google play list in the personal videos tab.

well instant video on amazon works in firefox with flash loaded. I'm watching the preview on amazon for 21 jump street.
The full DVD in vob files pulled to my desktop computer is what I start with when using handbrake. I am using a decrypt program to pull to my desktop. Using apple tv 2 option in file mode I am getting m4v format as a result. I need to try some avi files and see what I can come up with as a result.

Thanks for the Firefox/Flash suggestion...for some reason hadn't thought of that.
I just read about the new chromebook coming out and though since it is about the same price as a N7, i pre-ordered one.
http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-XE303...92074&t=asinref-20&sr=1-1&keywords=B009LL9VDG
can someone familiar with chromeos tell me if this is something meant to be use together with a N7 or something totally different?
I had the first chromebook that they gave away for free and gave it away before i get to play around with it
Looks pretty cool. Definitely interested in your review.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
The price is pretty similar because it's using an ARM chip (Samsung Exynos), and therefore much cheaper to produce than the x86 predecessors. However, you lose some of the fancy sensors, and, like the other Chromebooks before it, very few services on it operate without an internet connection.
A Chromebook is basically a laptop that runs just the Chrome web browser. It's great for Google Docs editing and super fast when you have a good internet connection, but pretty mediocre for games, music, movies, or reading. You could pair it with a Nexus 7 and get the best of both worlds essentially, but on the whole they don't really integrate with each other. It's basically the same level of integration you already get with having Chrome installed on a desktop; if it's not already stored on Google's servers via Drive, Music, Play store, etc., you won't get (easy) access to it from your browser.
Also, Netflix doesn't work yet on ARM-based Chromebooks, which could be a deal-breaker for some people. It will probably be rebuilt for ARM at some point, just not right now.
Best thing you can do is try to get Android on it. That way it's the keyboard-version of your N7.
Try and get a Linux distro on it.
You can try it out for yourself using your current PC on a memory stick http://lifehacker.com/5820358/how-to-turn-your-netbook-into-a-chromebook-with-chromium-os
This way you can see for yourself , I put it on my laptop the other night just to see what its all about, I'm sure the version you get with your chrome book will be a bit more polished, it does feel a bit like a beta but still fun to play about with

Got a Samsung chrome book in our house, persuaded my aging folks to go for it for emails docs net surfing booking holidsys and the such. Zero maintainance and easy to use. Not very XDA!
Tbh great devices, v long battery quick at browsing, v quick boot or resume. These new ones should be better and are cheaper too. Depends on your use/user. No good for games and apps really, for the online world excellent. YouTube etc. on the Samsung works great at 720p.
i barely use my laptop as can use the chromebook and nowadays hardly use that due to my N7...
I dont see how the two 'combine' particularly, ones a touchscreen tab one is a laptop-lite.

ANDROID MINI PCs!?!?
Do any of our AHD guys use any of these things? Like the mk802, or mk808b, or imito mx1? If you have one, what cool stuff can you do with it? I'm pretty set on buying an mk808b in the pretty immediate future. Any thoughts? Suggestions for better stuff? Any advice on the topic would be great as I have zero experience with hooking Android to TV monitors.
I had bought one a couple months ago, haven't gotten around to actually using it yet though.

Anyone else thing the average person will be a bit confused about the new Xbox being called the Xbox One? There already was one...I have a box with 5 disassembled just for spare parts. I think they should have gone with Xbox Media Center or Xbox NSA Edition.

I still have a copy of that Splinter Cell just in case i ever need it. Only OG Xbox game I still have...though I do have an Executer 3 Mod Chip
MS kinda screwed themselves with the 360 name...makes it hard to call it the Xbox 3, but I doubt they'd do that because they'll assume dumb people will see an Xbox 3 next to a PS4 and say "4 is better than 3, get that one"...sadly they're partially right. Now all the game stores with Xbox 1 signs are gonna have to get new old Xbox signs.
I like the Sony naming style...1, 2, 3, 4...simple and easy.
xbox 1 = og with the dinner plate controller, new xbox one = the dumbest name ever.
og halo player.. love xboxs but hate that they fed up big on that name..
I was about to post that the upcoming MGS:V was an Xbox One Exclusive... So glad is isn't after all... But to be honest... MGS doesn't belong on an Xbox... Just doesn't feel right...
Also, still wondering if MGS:V is directly after Peace Walker... That would explain Miller being alive, Big Boss/"Punished" Snake, and MSF references...

Hey y'all,
HAPPY HOLIDAYS!!
I'm excited to share my latest new app in Google Play: CLOUDCAST
Cloudcast lets you play online entertainment from one Android device to another, from anywhere on the planet! Unlike Chromecast, Cloudcast is NOT limited to your Wi-Fi network and you can stream content from ANY website in your device!
The idea was born out of frustration with Chromecast. Google released Chromecast in the summer of 2013 but did not allow independent developers like us to publish apps for it. Since I spent months writing code for their "preview" SDK, I did not want all my work to go to waste. That is when the idea of Cloudcast was born - why not use any Android device as a player instead of Chromecast and not be limited to the Wi-Fi network!
So here it is finally! Hope y'all find the app useful. Let me know what you think. It's a free app, requires latest Google Play & YouTube apps and runs on Android 2.2 or above.
Cheers!

Look around the interwebs. I've seen the MK808 go for as low as $30 recently.
I have had one for about a year now, paid a bit more for it, and am quite happy with it.
Does all the Android stuff well and now even XBMC (13 beta7) runs great on it, using Finless v1.7 ROM and kisses 720p kernel.

Does Google Play work in MK808? I heard others had issues signing in. I'm looking to get one.
The one I used in the Cloudcast demo is Evoke HDI, runs 4.01 but it's a lot slower than even 1.2 GHz phones.
http://evokehdi.com/
I picked it up in Fry's, but no one sells them anymore.
I don't understand this part: ''The free version contains ads and can only cloudcast for 10 minutes at a time.''
10 mins only? then what next, because 10 mins is nothing..
Also can I cast all my movies from a Window PC to my Android stick?..Thanks

Sure, when you use Cloudcast you will be installing in two devices - your phone (the browser/remote) and the Android stick (the media player). The free version is for you to test out Cloudcast in your Wi-Fi network or wireless carrier to make sure it's responsive. If you are casting videos < 10 mins then you won't have to upgrade. After 10 minutes the player will stop to give you an option to upgrade or close. You can still continue to use the browser and play locally or cast again. The browser has no time limits. When you upgrade the 10 time limit for the player is removed and the ads at the bottom of the browser are removed as well. Hope it makes sense.
If you are storing movies in a web server in your Windows PC and if you're able to access them from an Android browser (say http://network_pc/movies/...) then you can play and control the movies from your phone to the Android stick. The PC has to stay on and folders shared for the entire movie.
Instead of a web server you can try shared folders, Cloudcast will work if the URL is accessible by a browser (say file:///network_pc/movies...). My Evoke HDI Android box can see shared folders (without a webserver) and it's also possible with a rooted phone. Hope it helps.

The MK808 has had access to Google Play (and Amazon), whether on Stock or custom ROMs, without any issues. There are JellyBean versions out now, but I have mine still on ICS. Good forum for Android sticks (and not-so-mainstream Tablets) is Freaktab.com. Good place to compare the different Android Sticks and set-top-boxes.

Feels nicer than Cheapcast, but I'm realizing these types of apps can never do paid content, right? I can't do netflix. So these will always be a compliment to chromecast, not replacement.
Or, am I not understanding something? How do I play netlfix, hbo go, hulu plus, etc. I have paying accounts for these. Netflix and HBO Go requires you to play in an app. You can't play in the browser, so that means this won't work, correct?
No paid content yet!

Yes, you're absolutely correct. Cloudcast currently cannot play paid content because there is no user authentication at the player end. Netflix won't play in any mobile browser because of their restrictions. Like you said they want you to use their app!
That said, if the content providers offer a way to authenticate in a web browser (oAuth or login), then we can validate the user at both ends (browser and player). I will look further and see if there are providers that offer that option. Will keep you updated.
I'm sure there are apps out there that "cast" without a Chromecast. If there are enough of us to show content providers the value in offering browser based HTML5 delivery model, then they will soon realize that we all don't need to be locked up in Google's walled garden. This is just a spark and I'm hoping to start a fire!
Calling all indie devs who want to cast without a Chromecast!!
Thank you for this great question. I'll be sure to add this in the FAQs.
