I noticed that Angry Birds (beta) is not available in my Android Market... heard Froyo is required to see it. I'm running CM 6.0.2.1, but don't see it. Anyone else having the same issue? Well, not really an issue, but just curious. Thanks.

it only requires 2.0 but there are several capable phone models that can't see it in the market. I know aria and captivate definately can't.
you can get the apk from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=770800
Thank you, very helpful. Kinda odd that it is phone specific. I wonder what else Aria owners are missing out on...
whenever i install it i see a splash screen and then go back to my home screen..... what about u guys?

If I remember correctly, the latest beta tries to install to the sdcard but needs to be installed in phone to run correctly...
i moved onto the phone... same dealCM6
someone claim that they can run it on the stock rom? *scratches head*
all i get is freezing, with both stock ROM, and htc's latest update ROM.
First Beta Freezes when trying to load a game, and Beta2 wont even run.
e search the market i get like 25 results for angry birds on my aria... clock widgets, themes,live wallpaper etc... is there a specific one you are talking about

Okay I just loaded HBO go onto my G tablet with the VeGan rom 5.1.1. While the app runs when I try to sign on the app fails with a force close. Anyone using VeGan or any other ROM including stock having similar issues? If this app is as good as it is on my iPad (no flames, no snide remarks) then this will be a great app for the tablet community.
Code:

great for people in the US.
Doesnt work for the rest of the world
Works great on my Evo but not my Gtab with 5.1.1. I'm getting the same thing as you.
I haven't tried it on my G2 yet, but I'm also getting the FC when trying to sign in on my GTab.
Fc on Vegan ginger, works great from website.

From the Website on your desktop or on the Website from your gTablet? If so, what browser? Opera reports unsupported. Haven't tried any of the others.
Doesn't work with my cable company either.
If I remember correctly, you need Android 2.3 or higher, not 2.2
Got it to work with Dolphin HD after I disabled the AdFree app I had running and checking "enable plug-ins" to always on. Full screen seems to be necessary as well to see the bottom of the page.
Just checked the normal android browser - works too with "Default Zoom" set to "far" to be able to see the whole page.

It works great on stock HTC Incredible (2.2) and Droid2. I don't think you need 2.3
Anybody find a solution for this yet?

I have it working on BC 1.20. You need to download "!IMEIMe(b10)(5).zip" from this link "http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1103766". Put your ROM of choice into the same folder as the "!IMEIMe(b10)(3).exe" (from the unzipped file). Run it and answer yes when asked if you want to modify a ROM (some wording to that affect). Supply a "pass word/code", I used my G-tab serial number (you might want to read the topic for a LOT! of discussion on unique IMEI generation. It injects an IMEI into the ROM, based on the number you supply and renames the ROM adding "IMEI" to its name. You end up with two ROMs original and renamed ROM. Take the Renamed ROM and change its name to the standard "update.zip" and re-flash!. Both HBO GO and the Xfinity apps now work on my G-Tab.
Thanks for this rmac. I am playing around with this. So far with CM7 build 86 i got HBO to work, but it would not show any video. Might have been an HD video, which might not work on GB. I tried Caulkin and Vegan 5.1, but was getting FCs on both with HBO. Will play around more when i get home and will probably try BC 1.2.
Update: I have installed BC 1.2 and have hbogo working, however the picture is not great. It does full screen, but is not very clear. Anyone else have a better experience?

Yes hbogo has poor pic quality for me also. It would be a good app if pic quality was better, maybe a future update will address this issue?
According to the help built in the app, it supports HD. Definately a bug if that's the case- seems like it's defaulting to the lowest quality available.
hbo cinimax go
Hob go and cinemax go both work on tablets with skyfire web browser
HBO GO app has been updated in the Android market -- it now works fine on the GTab (at least it does on mine, running Froyo Clemsyn+Calkulin version).
The new chat with google without having to wait for 2.3.4. But on the Gtab both screens are turned sideways This is running on Vegan Ginger, someone else test on a different rom and let me know if you have any luck.
face tbe tablet down it will turn normal
Nice find, thanks!
Running VegaN-Tab 5.1.1, works great! Thanks for finding this!!
Maybe just me, but it may have kept the g tab from falling asleep.
I installed and when i log in it goes to a white screen and says contacts at the top of the screen. Im not quite sure what to do from there or if this is an error. Anyone have any input. Im running vegan ginger rc1. Thanks.

You have to have a contact that is available to do video chat in order to see the contact.
Still can't get it to work properly with Vegan Ginger.
I was able to get it to work, although i get the sideways screen issue -- still a better substitute than having nothing...much better quality that the yahoo messenger video chat

Working on Calk's ROM
I just got this up and running on my GTab running Calk's 1.1 ROM. The picture quality is very pixellated which I assume is because it hasn't been tablet optimized. I'm really just happy that I can actually use the camera for something, GTalk no less!
Wow, Nice find! installed on my gtab running vegan 5.1, made video calls to both my PC and Evo, worked great!
Justim
Running Vegan Ginger RC1 here. The video is rotated 90 degrees on both my end and the computer feed. If it works on Vegan 5.1, I think that's reason enough to switch back to it. This is the missing killer tablet app as far as I'm concerned.
apk?
I am running stock and do not have access to the market. Can someone post the apk please to see if it works on my stock gtab?

Downgraded to vegan 5.1 and she's running perfectly now. Great find guys!
For some reason, I have about a 5 second audio delay on mine. Running VegaN-Tab 5.1.1, another guy in our office also has a gtab running the same Rom. When we tried VTok on our internal wireless network we got the delay. Haven't tried it on any other system yet.
Anyone else seeing this behavior or have a suggestion for fixing it?
Anyone have this running well on a Gingerbread release?

I wouldn't try to get much of anything to work on a stock G-tab. You need to just go ahead and bite the bullet and install VegaN 5.1 at least. If you stick with the stock ROM you will ALWAYS have problems getting apps that everybody else gets with no problem. If you follow the instructions here at XDA you will get full market access too so there is no downside.
Vtok looks and sounds interesting, but the fact that none of my contacts show up (even though I know they have video set up) tells me that maybe everybody must have Vtok for it to work, like skype, tango, etc. ?

That isn't, or shouldn't be the case. I gave it a spin last night and was able to connect to someone on normal PC Laptop. The person you want to chat with has to be able to use video at that moment or they won't show up in this app. Not intended to be rude, just to give it a little highlight so other's don't miss it and ask the same things later.
I had the same VEGAn Gingerbread issue with the camera rotation, but i've seen that on pretty much every device i've used any video chat on that was geared to be landscape by default.
Video quality was very low, but i'll blame that one a bad internet connection till I have somewhere a little better to test with. Hopefully this is updated to work a little better in the future since it's the most widely usable option outside of Skype(which is still holding onto that video chat function from most of us) or Yahoo(plugin needed for Android), but Yahoo seems to only work for a minute or two before it pretty much destroys the stability of my tablet till I reboot... lol

This is a complete lie!!!
You can install Android Market on a stock firmware, and have access to all of the apps that a custom firmware has access to. Don't give advice if you don't know what you are talking about!
Through a lot of searching, trial and error, I finally got Netflix working on my Droid original version. I installed the netflix apk with device checking disabled (you can find it on this forum) and then made just 2 changes to my build.prop file. I set ro.product.model=Droid
and
ro.product.manufacturer=Motorola.
Success!!! So, wondering if I could do the same on my Gtab with Vegan-Tab. Installed the apk, changed the build.prop file and gave it a go.
Almost Success!!! The streaming actually works. I have tried all the other methods and never got the movie to stream. With this one it does.....problem is that it is running way to fast. The audio sounds like it must be 10 times faster than normal.
Another step.....sooner or later I'll find the secret.
If you used the version of the Neflix apk with the device check disabled you shouldn't have had to modify your build prop at all.
I installed it on my Droid X and it ran beautifully without any mods at all.
The device check only gets you as far as allowing the Netflix app to actually load completely. There is further wizardry involved to actually get streaming to occur. I can attest to the fact that I have tried at least 8 modifications of the build.prop file, with the only one allowing streaming to occur being the one that matches my Droid. Honest to goodness and cross my heart.
With disregard for the Netflix apk entirely, does Netflix allow streaming of their media directly from their website? Another words can you simply login to your web based account & access the media there?
I've never used Netflix & have no plans to join, but I figured if I could get the web version of Crackle to work when the Crackle.apk didn't then the same might hold true for Netflix. Of course it doesn't resolve the current problem but at the very least allows one to enjoy streaming until the issue is fixed.

Took the information posted earlier and, what do you know netflix on the droid x combinded with real hdmi lets make it a movie night.

Im seeing the sped up video and sound as well here. Using the pre-packaged netflix apk on CM7 nightly 85.
maybe it's just me but when I went into the market today it said that there were updates available for netflix. I downloaded them and now when I run netflix it takes me to the "login" page instead of saying this device is not compatible.

They released an official update in the Market that doesn't do the device check. I don't know if that means it's wide open now for all android devices or not though for folks that have a Netflix account.

My netflix running on CM7 about 2 days ago was working and now its not apparently because there is a new Netflix Update on the market.
Is there a reason why I can't search the Official Netflix App on the market using my GTAB? My build.prop is already modified to Nexus S. Maybe someone can post the Netflix APK since it is probably detecting my device as not supported.
Same here, using the new app, starts loading, flashes briefly, then back to the queue. Just installed flash 10.3 ,still no go.

Looks like the barrage of negative reviews about incompatibility caused Rockstar to list a lot of devices as incompatible. Since I can now see all the old Flashback ROMs I used to run on the list of devices, I can tell you they're all now listed as incompatible. My Epic is as well, so.... well, looks like Rockstar should have tested it a bit more.
Hi All:
I'm running CM7.02 Repack BL1.2, and and +1 that GTA III 10 yr Ann. version works with no problem on the gTab.
I did have some issues to be able to load it due to having over 15 differnt ROMS previously installed (yeah I know).
Issue #1 Screen Density, I had it at 120, changed it to 160 (thx tedlogan42). If you are have texture issues with some other games, try dloaing BuildProp editor, search or google it, its free and xda has great posts on how to use it. Basically you want to:
In the /system/build.prop file, I changed this line:
ro.sf.lcd_density=120
to this:
ro.sf.lcd_density=160
(save and reboot to apply change)
Issue #2, cant find GTA III in the market, or a game that used to install now says its not compatible to your device, well after you changed your screen density:
-goto Settings>>Applications>>>Manage Applications>>>All Tab
-scroll to Market
-Force Stop
-Clear Cache
-Clear Data
-Reboot the Gtab
Once Gtab is rebooted and stable, launch Market, you should see the "Accept EULA" window. Click accept, search for your game GTA III or whatever game that used to run.
Hope this helps someone....

Decided to try this out on Flashback 10.3 (HC) to see what happens. Setting LCD density to 160 does not play nice. I undid the changes and things are working fine. There may be a way to adjust other variables to make this work better, but that is beyond the scope of my knowledge.

Decided to try this without the change to screen density to see what happened. No love. I imagine the screen density in build prop must be altered before trying this. I may try changing the screen density, clearing market data, accepting EULA, trying to find GTA III, and then restoring my screen density. No time now, but perhaps on Xmas when I'll have nothing to do.

While your suggestions didn't help me due to ROM differences, I bet they'll help someone with a similar setup to yours. Additionally, you introduced me to Root Explorer and Build.prop modifications. Something awesome that I didn't know about. Thanks for the knowledge and taking the time to reply!
CyanogenMod 7.1.0.1 works but no sound
The game shows up in Market with CM7.1 and it installs fine but there is no sound. Also, the controls on the game is hard for me to get used to. There's too much happening with too many "buttons" on the screen clustered together to make them useful. I wish it would have game controller support.
Can't wait for a Ice Cream Sandwich ROM since I've read that it's supposed to have built in game controller support.
