Really? I think the Sony gallery app rocks! But to each it's own.

If you still need it it's here. Move GalleryGoogle.apk to /system/app and change permissions to rw- r-- r-- then reboot.

US TV show apps

Im going crazy!
I am a big fan of US tv series and would love the Dexter app that Showtime give out for free. The problem is its region restricted and I cannot download the apk.
Same is true of the AMC and HBO general show apps!
So damn annoying! These are free apps but you have to be in the us to download them.
Would any kind American out there be able to host these files so I can download them?
I will be extremely grateful
Someone here could probably put them on multiupload.com......
If you could make a list of the apps you would like, I could try to get them for you
Fantastic
The free apps I would love are:-
http://www.appbrain.com/app/dexter/com.showtime.dexter
http://www.appbrain.com/app/hbo/com.hbo.android.activity
http://www.appbrain.com/app/amc-mobile/com.amctv.mobile
They are all region controlled so only available to the US for download.
So annoying!
If someone could put this on host with multiupload or whatever that would be perfect and really appreciated

Here you go buddy, hope they work:
Download
They probably would try to check for location even on starting.
A workaround is to use fake location apps. from the Market. Once you set the fake US location you can download and stream from any country.
Sorry to hijack but is there a way to watch shows like True Blood and Dexter without having a subscription to HBO or Showtime?
The best and legal way to do it is to stream it. There is an android app called amo Navi-x that will do that for you. On your computer you can use XBMC or Boxee with the respective Navi-x app.
Jgaf!
A million thanks to you sir!
Strangely the HBO app wont work on my Nook but it works on my phone. Apart from that all great.
Really appreciate your help there )
As for seeing the shows, personally I download them ^
They do show on Norwegian tv but always much later than in the US and I prefer watching them at a time that suits me also.
I have a media box that plays every media format and watch them in HD from that on my big screen.

I just looked at the Navi-X app and it's a little unclear. Does this allow you to download shows to the Nook or is it for streaming only?

I got the app and downloaded an episode of True Blood but it doesn't play well with Mobo. The audio isn't sync'd with the video and it only plays for about a minute and then cuts off. Bummer.
I use my Nook as a player for videos and have no issues with mp4 720p videos.

It gets illegal whe you share the file, meaning when you uploaded it or are sharing (i.e. torrents). Watching a streaming video is legal, the only one breaking the law is the person who uploaded and maybe the server owner where it is.

Google Play Movies

Hey guys,
I have a problem with the google play app. First, I have the Sabsa Prime Rom in the version 10.0 installed. So I have Android 4.0.4 and HTC Sense 4.1. Now I want to explain u my problem: I don't have Google Play movies. Neither can I see movies in the play store nor do I have the app.
I hope u can help me,
Draym.
I can't find it either; but I just use the VLC beta and it works fine.
And where do u buy/rent the movies?
I also had this Problem So is there any Solution please ?
Try going into Titanium Backup. There you should see Google Play Movies. Click on it and press unfreeze, maybe this will work

[Q] Walkman App? No Genre?

Hello there,
I have a particular question which bothers me a lot!
I like the Walkman Application by Sony but without the Genre category.. well that's a big minus point for me!
So, is there any possibility to add at the Walkman this category or any modified app around here?
Also tried the search via google and here at the forum but nothing came out.
Probably wrong search tags?
Regards.

Well thanks but I'm actually using another music player and it doesn't work with PureXAudio or couldn't find the settings at the custom equalizer.
On the Walkman app it works and changed my feeling for music.
So that's why I'm asking.

The walkman on the Z1 is awful, it crashes fairly frequently, skips songs randomly, doesn't show album artwork properly and keeps trying to sign into the Sony network.

Walkman works great for me, the best player I have ever had...
The only downside is the lack of lossless formats support...
(I also own a copy of PowerAmp)
I said no google play links on poweramp!
Wecond of all, I need more tuning of the player, I have good headphones, so I want something more

Walkman is the best music app I have used. Use the download music info to get all the album art. It has never forced closed on me on my z zl or z1. Try and clear app data. As for links buy the app from google play, you won't find links to pirated software on XDA support the devs.

I used it on my nexus 4 due to only having 16gb of space. With the z1 having a 64gb card I don't need to use play music.

Not sure why your having so many problems with the Walkman Player. Have you tried clearing the data? I used many of the music players and even purchased a few (like PowerAmp) but for a free included app, Walkman is great. I fix album art with a mp3 editor app. Are you looking for a pirated copy of PowerAMP? Its worth the price.

I used to use Google Music as my primary player but I am in love with the walkman player. I used to use GMusicFS to mount those songs in Walkman but eventually found it easier to just keep my favorite albums on my phone as even with that I had skips in my music. I do keep it installed though in case I want to listen to anything else. At about 18,000 songs so far, I love that service.

I have a few FLAC albums that play fine in my Walkman Player. Maybe a recent update?
