I have a question

I am looking for a cheap Android Pad like this one but with 3g and at a cheaper price and that has active ROM support. Is there such thing yet? I hope I posted in the appropriate thread I couldn't really see any that related to this subject.

This isnt the best section since you seem knowledgeable and on-topic

Probably the general q+a section
But about the tablet how much are you willing to spend?
AOKP 4 LYF

I would like to spend in the neighborhood of $150.00 us for an Android Pad similar to the one in the link.

Avoid that at all costs.
Do not buy a tablet that lacks official Google support. No market/play store, no maps, YouTube, Google talk, gmail or any other Google app. It will not have most of the apps you will want available, and on these devices root is often very difficult to obtain, making getting a functional market/play store onto it will be incredibly time consuming.
Due to their shortfalls, these tablets almost never have an active dev community.
There are 4 exceptions to this: the kindle fire, and the nook color/tablet/touch.

Thank You for your response, I believe you to be right I guess I will have to wait till I can save more money. What would be you and Scoffy"s recommendations ?

well you stated in your first post that you wanted 3g in it. the cheapest "real" tablet with 3g i know of are the Archos G9 series. I don't know your location, but from what I've heard they don/t work with US SIMs, you'll have to look into that if you're in the US.

I'll publish anyone's app gratis.

Pretty simply, after seeing the requirements and the limitations for normal html5 development on the Chromecast, and paying my $5 admission fee.... it's ridiculous.
So if anyone wants to jumpstart their development of an app for Android or Chrome and they already have a Receiver app hosted on an https site (apparently even Google Docs will do), I'll publish your app myself.
Here's a list of things I'd need to know for publishing a Receiver and Sender app. Message me there, or here, if you're interested. I try to keep my Hangouts invites visible.
Things to note:
In Chrome, both a Sender URL and a Receiver URL are required. The sender can be site specific (e.g. if your application is hosted at mysubdomain.site.com/folder/page.html, the sender URL will get shortened to mysubdomain.site.com.)
For the above reason, you can't send Web requests from locally hosted sites. Google needs direct access to them, so they forbid it.
The Receiver URL must be a single page, however. This is what gets displayed on the screen. Because of the restrictions of the Chromecast, even Google considers it safe to assume your content should be hosted in a single 1280x720 rectangle.
All Receiver URLs must go to an https site. There's a way to use Google Drive/Docs to house a Receiver via https. You'll probably have to search around the Chrome store for a reliable Google Drive html editor if you need to go this route, so I would recommend Drive only as a last resort.

OT but to add up. You think that's ridiculous. Play Store admission fee is $20. And for iOS devices only access to SDK is $100.
I am looking to make CC app of my own. Will keep you in mind.

It cost me $25 usd when I signed up last week, is there seriously another fee to pay on top of that to publish cc apps?

I think it's ridiculous that all apps, regardless of target audience, must pass through Google's censors, yes. Previously the only way to have an app available was to publicly list it on their website. No developer account, no app testing... Period. Unlike the Google Play Store, this account is mandatory to do anything.

Yep.
Not just to publish but to start developing, debugging, or testing.

Google Corporation has recently sent me a threat over email, added a strike to my Google+ account for daring to post this message online.
So I guess I'll amend my words. I'll "partner" with anyone who wants to publish or develop or test a Chromecast app. In said partnership I'll assume no ownership of your stuff. You make it, I'll do everything in my power to make sure you can run it on any Chromecast you want.
If Google hates me, I must be doing some good.

Final update:
Google recently realized their loophole here and closed it, adding a clause to their developer agreement that states that helping anyone with unfortunate circumstances can get you removed from their whitelist.
I guess my developing days are over, and remember: buy a Kindle Fire Stick instead!

Yet another reason I regret buying a CC

Check Google Play for your free copy of Gravity

As reported by Android Police
http://www.androidpolice.com/2014/10/28/nexus-5-owners-check-your-google-play-movies-tv-app-you-might-have-a-free-copy-of-gravity-waiting-for-you/
I can vouch for this - Downloading now...
(apologies if this is already posted - did a search and couldn't see it).

It doesn't require Nexus 5. It is random. In my case it was probably Nexus 7 or Samsung Galaxy S4. So you have to be lucky to get this movie
And in my case account was created in Poland.

I just looked for it on the play store, but it wanted to charge me. Had to download the play movie and TV app, then it was free. Thanks for sharing!

Thanks, watching it on my Roku now

this is a gift from google as there factory image site is getting hit hard with so many folks banging there F5 key "gravity load balencer"

Thanks! Haha just finished watching it woot woot!

given out to nexus 5 owners, maybe because this guy did this thing?

Woot I got mine! I had to uninstall Play movies updates then I launched the app, and Huzza! My free copy of Gravity.
Edit: So to check and see if it was a N5 exclusive, I told my bro to check. He followed my above procedure too.
He has a first gen Moto G
He didn't get gravity, but he did get a free Shaun the Sheep, XD.
So there is hope for you non N5ers, you can have Shaun the sheep.

My N5 and N7 got it (different accounts).

Weird, because i've gotten that movie for free 2 weeks ago from the Google Play Movies app. :-/

this is really nice gift, it's my favorite 2013 movie and now i can watch it whenever i want Thank you for telling us. BTW is there some way to watch it on smart TV without chromecast ?

Can confirm working in the US. I'm on Lollipop preview.
Without the Google TV and Movies app the price will be 9.99$, when you first launch the app however it'll be there for free on the home page.

Worked for me, thanks!

Worked great, thanks!

Irrelevant to the Nexus 5.

Google Opinion Rewards App in India

This Is A Question For a Google App, not any Development or Firmware problem

Hey, I live in India and have the Google Opinion Rewards which is NOT AVAILABLE for the country. So, I use the apps Psiphon and Fake Location to tunnel my device and make so that It is like i am in US.
I downloaded the app from the Google Play Store, and launched it. It worked, gave me the initial survey, but I haven't gotten a single survey.
I have restarted my Samsung Galaxy Tab2 7" GT-P3100 several times because of battery etc. Does that effect?
As soon as it boots, I turn on my location apps and check my Google Opinion Rewards app. It has no difference, and keeps saying that a survey will come for which I'm approved. It never comes.
Just tell me if there is any flaw in what I did.

Need a Play Store account for publishing of App.

Hi Guys,
I saw a lot of threads on the forum by which users could publish their apps for free on Play Store. But unfortunately, the members that were doing this are not active since a lot of time.
I am new to Android Development, and developed an Evolve Calculator for Pokemon GO, and wanted to publish it to Google Play Store, but unfortunately I don't have a credit card, and can't buy a Play Store Developer account.
So I wanted to ask, does Google give away free Developer Accounts to students, etc. Or would someone be kind enough to help me in getting a Play Store Account, or share one with me?
I am currently hosting a signed APK of my app on Google Drive, but i am not sure whether I should share it here or not.
Thanks in Advance

Can't really help you with the publishing (sorry!) but I'll say... don't worry too much about the APK.
The second you put anything on the Play Store, whether free or paid, it becomes available on a couple dozen mirrors and piracy websites. Where are you from? I'm sure there are prepaid credits cards that you can use without a bank account in your country, and getting your own developer account (with the ability to update your apps whenever you want) is REALLY recommended.

I bought the developer account, and hosted my app. Will make a Post on XDA as well, when I reach 10 posts. As far as pirated copies are concerned, I found none on the internet, I don't know whether thats insulting or what

Well then congratulations on your first published app
They usually start popping out when you emerge in any category, like Top New X or very deep in the Trending rankings. It's all done by bots anyway, rarely the APK ends up on websites that bring some traffic (which can be useful if you integrate ads, and some of them might want to download the "real" updated version).

Well, I had high hopes for the app, and hopefully it will do good. As far as Ads are concerned, I will integrate them next year, I am not eligible for AdSense or Merchant Account yet

Well considering that your app is about Pokemon Go, your users like games which means that you can integrate pretty much any interstitial ad network and not just AdMob

I will see whether I will integrate them or not. Most probably not, I myself don't like ads, and I think others also hate them. As far as making money is concerned, I am not interested that much into it. I just the app to perform well

You could try free stores like: Opera, Amazon, Aptoide.

Just search for mobile marketing forums. There must be people who want!
