Think it's the new virtual directory structure brought on by the multi user capability? I need my stickmount back. I'm going on vacation and want to load up some movies.

you should try usb otg helperit's far better than stickmount anyway (support ext4).
I think I'm in no rush to update to 4.2 for now.
Can't get ustream to work. Fc's when the vid finishes buffering.
Although, I didn't try it on 4.1.2!

Or Nexus Media Importer, it has good reviews and doesn't require root.
boat browser crashes on exit
Boat browser working fine over here.
BsPlayer not working on samba shares. It will report "file not found" I think it has something to do with the new way of mounting the internal memory.
DICE player not working now (just crashes). Google play says my device is not compatible with the current version.
Usb Helper is also broken it seems, my 32 GB flash drive only shows up as 12.8 gb.
Did you try to uninstall apps or just delete cache memory of these?
Just had multiple FC with Zdbox and this was resolved by uninstalling then reinstalling it.
I'm trying these on a fresh 4.2 install.
I've got few of the apps not working from the list mentioned.
MX Player
Stickmount
Android Play Store Links (from apps)
NovaLauncher dead zone
PhotoSphere (MoDaCo launcher)
That seems to be it for me personally.

TV SHOWS STREAM (v3.2 or +) DOES FULLY SUPPORT MOTOROLA XOOM
THANKS TO ALL FOR YOUR HELP, SPECIALLY TO "Xezuka" XDA MEMBER
------------------------------------
Hi,
We have been working on "tv shows stream" android aplication and we whoul'd really like to know if it is working properly under Motorola Xoom using android 3.0 stock .
This device is not being sold yet at Europe...and we can not wait to know if the aplication will work fine
You can find the full thread of our aplication here :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=903351
The lite version is free and you can find it on market by searching "TV Shows Stream"
Thanks in advanced for the testing, we will really apreciate.
what does you app do? is it just a streaming site client?
I thought it relied on flash support? If so, it no work ie until flash for honeycomb is available.

Not exactly.
I dont want to advertise the aplication here and thast why i didnt say a description, but basically the aplication searchs over internet for tv-shows links capables to be played directly on your device, with full screen support using megavideo, frogmovz, karambavidz and other hosting services. The search results are shown in a intuitive and easy to use interface.
You can find a detailed description in the xda thread of the aplication:

You are right, my mistake, i thught it was already availeable. So I will have to wait a bit more, thanks for the information.
Maybe I should close the thread and re-open it after flash has been released.
The app is now starting up, looks, and runs great. I've been waiting for this! Android 2.2~ version on my Droid X is amazing. Just waiting for Flash...

Just tried it out on both my Xoom and Captivate.
I am pretty sure things are working on the Captivate as they should, so used that as a guide. Hehe Test videos played through each host, low Res, but no issues.
OK.. on the Xoom the UI seems fine and works. Problems come up when playing the videos. When playing a Megavideo link the MV interface comes up with no player controls, nothing else happens. When trying Frogmovz or Karambavids.. I get a black screen with no video controls. Touching the center of the screen has triggered play/pause, but I just seem to get audio and no video is shown.
I tried out playing Megavideos through their website and that worked fine for me.

Hi,
The same problems have been reported by using unoficial flash version on htc evo. The solution was uninstall flash and reinstall from market.
Are you using the leaked version of flash 10.2 right?
It should be availeable on 18th on android market for all devices and it should fix the sound with no video issue.
Thanks for the infor, it wil really help us.
I have same issue with Xoom also. Works great and love the app on my fascinate.

Hello,
I have a paid for version of TV Shows Stream, it works on my Nexus One thanks very much for that. I admit that I probably never use it, but I like it and it works most of the time.
I have a Xoom, with v3.0.1 and the leaked Flask 10.2 APK. At this time, flash content via the stock browser seems to work fine but TV Shows Stream does not seem to work properly. All browsers come up with a blank window more or less, I tried a few megavideo and karambozworths.
Yes, it works great on the Nexus One but on the Xoom with the leaked 10.3 flash you can hear the sound but no video. Hope you get it working because it would be great to watch it on a larger screen!
I probably wouldn't be too concerned for now as the leaked version is having issues in other browsers as well. I'm not sure if that'd be because they don't see the leaked version or what... but as with the others, the app works fantastically on my Droid X but has no Video or Audio for the Xoom running the leaked Flash 10.2
Ill update again when its officially released March 18th and reinstalled.
TV Shows Stream full is my fav app and I use it daily on my Droid X with no issues. Cannot wait for xoom compatibility which as previously mentioned should be resolved when the official flash file is available on market March 18 if I read correctly. I will def uninstall the leaked file and load the official 10.2 release and report back on its usuability on my xoom. Great app btw dev. -

I have the Flash leak for my Xoom and I concur the app opens and you can see the list of shows but just cannot play the video (or see the video controls), just a blank screen.
However, I emailed myself a link for a show (from within your app) and then opened the link in the email with my broswer. The video played fine with no problems. Thus I assume when the official Flash 10.2 is released this week we will be able to load the video from right within the app - as I do on my Droid X.
BTW -great app - best money spent on an app. Keep up the awsome work
tv shows
I use the TV shows application all the time on my xoom. Right now u just have to email yourself the link for the video you want to play. I copy and paste the link in dolphin hd browser. Just make sure dolphin hd is in desktop mode. I doing this I can stream video fine, thanks for the great app also I have the leaked version of flash installed.

Hi
Is a usefull workaround but we have the intention to offer a better solutions.
We are almost sure that with the official release of flash player will work as it works most of devices, but we are already working in alternative solutions.
We have already a working solution in some video servers, karambavidz and Loombo (loombo will be added in next update) will have an option for watching the videos using any of the player you have installed on the phone, even native android player. FastForward and RW completelly working and very smooth playback, as not flash player will be used on those videos. More info soon, we are hard working right now on it.
Hi
Can someone uninstall the leaked version of flash and install the official 10.2 from market to chec if the problems still persist? Thanks in advanced.
Yes Haze, I've got the paid version and the behavior is the same. On the Xoom, the leaked version was 10.2.155.67 and todays version is 10.2.166.12 so I suspect very minor changes.

In the next update, Karambavidz video links will be able to be watched in the native android player or any other player , without the need of flash player.
You can also email yourself the link and open it with the dolphin HD broser as a temporary workaround, it has been reported to work fine.
We are working on it , thanks for the testing time.

confirmed working on my nexus 4, 4.4 stock kitkat.
all you need to do is download the modified flash player installer from XDA, and use your favourite browser (i'm using dolphin and dolphin jetpack).
credit goes to user surviveland on XDA.
http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/ to test and see the version.
dolphin's faq was also updated with this info today https://dolphinbrowser.desk.com/customer/portal/articles/1365883
Working here with stock 4.4 and Dolphin, not working on Firefox.
Does it need jet pack to be installed?

Just use MX Player to play your flash files. Dolphin is just for embedded flash. Don't follow....
Thanks for posting this works perfectly. Only thing is I can't get hulu to work in desktop mode, but it didn't work right with 4.3 either for me.

That is an issue with your MX player install then. It worked just fine for me. Have you tried just firing up MX player and opening the file? If you dont see the file then go to settings, list, video folders. Also consider just a swf player app.

I'm on 4.4.2 and yes. "works" in that it is a little buggy but that's not due to really to this hack, Flash on Android has been dodgy for a long time, sites crash etc, but its not 4.4.2 fault but that the version of flash is many versions behind, the most recent available on Android is 11.1.115.87 whilst the most recent 11.9.900.170.
Hulu isn't working as it checks the platform and decides to reject. I use BBC for HD and its very dodgy reliability, works best on my N10 and won't work on my N7 2012.

Now that its been a week. I'm pretty sure a lot of you have added all your apps. So give some suggestions so other users can experience the fun you have.
I'll start with.

Disney movies (for the daughter)
Pbs kids app -

Dropbox
Es file manager
A bunch of android wear apps
PlayStation app
Need for speed (game looks awesome don't this thing)
And that's about it. Once I root
Twrp

(Still debating if I want to use greenify. 3gb ram makes me think I don't unless someone can give me a good reason to).
And that's all until exposed works.

Gotta use Greenify to hibernate apps! You'd be surprised how much battery you'll save by keeping rouge apps (especially Google apps) from constantly causing wakelocks. Even without Xposed you can still hibernate most of the bigger offenders as long as you're rooted.

I figured out what @cars1189 posted minutes ago in his CM12 thread, that it will really slow down the device when you flash the GApps with the rom since the Exhibit 4G's system stuff are kinda old and stuff and needed to be tweaked, therefore for maximum performance on a daily basis, it has to be used without it.
By the way, Here's the link to the ROM.
With that in mind, here are my suggestions for apps that replace the Google Apps.
Camera:
Stock Camera or any other Camera app.
Camcorder:
Stock Camera or I'll look for a Camcorder app in an app store
Google Play App Store:
I am using Aptoide. 1mobile and mobogenie works. Just make sure Unknown Sources is checked in Dev options.
Youtube:
TubeMate (from Android Freeware) and FreeDi. FreeDi can be played through background.
You can watch YT Videos on UC Browser Too.
Maps:
None. GPS messed up. I will find solution.
Music:
Stock music app or 3rd party music app like PowerAMP or MX Player
Fit:
I've been using Runtastic.
Sheets, Docs, and Slides:
WPS Office.
Chrome:
Stock Browser (though that browser sucked)
I also suggested UC, UC Mini, CM Browser and Firefox.
Launcher:
Either Trebuchet Launcher3 or KK Launcher.
Google+:
Man, I don't know.... I will look for a 3rd party app that doesn't use Google Services, but an external service.
Gmail:
You can check Gmail using UC Browser.
Drive:
You can add a Google Drive account and view your files using ES File Explorer
Share some suggestions for apps that DO NOT NEED GOOGLE SERVICES OR GAPPS!

Basic statment to the point:
I in no way am recommending anyone not use gapps. In fact the only thing i said directly relating to gapps was: "I have never used any Cyanogenmod rom without gapps installed". And despite the rom in general NOT just gapps being slower than past roms i still use it as my daily.
I definitely in no way said that gapps will make the phone too slow.
Directly in responce:
Thats the only statment directly at gapps. The rest of it is general information because everyone always says something about performance. The rest of my statement only says that i had one random reboot with kkernel since you asked about it and then goes into detail about why going forward nobody should expect the same or better performance than say 4.4 + K^Kernel, again since you asked about speed. Now if you feel that the performance decrease warrants not using gapps because it makes it too slow then thats your opinion. I in no way meant to discourage users from using gapps. Im sorry if my post was confusing.
Other information related to this post:
While i think gapps are pretty usefull. I will admit that apps like waze not only replaces maps fairly decently but also makes enhancements. The idea of making a mundane task like driving to work potentially a fun/social event by being able to interact with others i think is cool. Do i recommend people replacing apps you mention no, but do i think presenting them to others to consider is a good idea sure some of them do bring cool ideas like that with waze. I AM IN NO WAY RECOMMENDING. However i dont think this post should be deleted either. Just dont put words in my mouth please. Again this also isnt a angry post or anything, maybe my post was just confusing this is just to let everyone know what i meant to say and how i feel, and if you could correct your post accordingly i would appreciate it.
More detail about what i meant:
Also what i meant by old system stuff is that theres most likely a bit of a performance hit because of the old binaries/libraries that could get worse with newer android versions. Sometimes we have to update our "wrappers" to these libs to work with newer android versions. If you look in logs you can see where it says something like " *lib name* uses *blank* which is *insert ineffeciant or waste of memory here* please fix ". And thats not gonna go away anytime soon. One of the few libs it said this about i did just replace, 3 of the others it mentions im working on now. Is there more? maybe idk im working on it. However they are prorpietary files replacing them isnt that easy. And this doesnt mean that gapps is slow because of our libs. In fact gapps likely uses its own libs for things it does and so do other apps maybe. However if a app does user for example anyother lib im gonna replace libjpeg(since its already opensource) if a app doesnt use their own libjpeg maybe its slower because its using our old one. Maybe if apps do use the system lib i could replace libjpeg with libjpeg-turbo since its "2-4x as fast as libjpeg" on arm neon. However the libjpeg code(original) has been unchanged since 2008 so will it be faster idk maybe compiled with a newer compiler might help.
Side note: you guys do know that the file he linked is the md5sum right and not the rom? I only mention it because more people have downloaded it than the rom, could be just re-downloads but just saying lol.
