[Q] XBMC failed installation on Moto X - Moto X Q&A

I am trying to reinstall XBMC on my Sprint Moto X but installation fails. I was having issues with audio with the latest from xbmc. org so I uninstalled. When I go and try to reinstall it fails. I have removed Screenfilter app and other recent apps I have downloaded. Anyone having same issue?

XMBC installed fine for me without problems. Though when I'm watching a movie it shutters in between every few seconds.

I had a similar issue with Google Sound Search installing from the play store on my Atrix HD. What I did was installed it on my sister's RAZR, pulled the apk from the data>app directory and placed it in the data>app directory on my Atrix HD. I then set permissions to rw-r--r-- and rebooted. It was then installed when my phone came back up. If you have the apk you can try sticking it in data>app and setting the proper permissions, then rebooting. You will need root for this.

XBMC installed fine on mine however I do have playback issues on higher quality rips. This is over wifi though - I think my router needs some QoS setup on it.

Anyone ever find a fix to this? I can install other xbmc's no problem like "beyond xbmc" but will fail after first run. I think it may be blocked by moto.

Better Youtube?

I downloaded the Gingerbread .apk from this forum but Rootexplorer says the install is blocked. So...
1) Is the gingerbread .apk going to give me full screen high quality youtube video? Or will I just get crappy cellphone video?
2) How do I install the .apk...if it is what I was actually looking for, of course.
I have the youtube app that came with autonooter but like I said above, even the HQ setting is bad.
from what I understand, DSP isn't working in gingerbread or honeycomb on the nook as of yet so no HQ video will play until they figure it out.

Wait what?? you downloaded the Gingerbread APK? file... I'm pretty sure that what you have there is the Gingerbread Keyboard Ripped to work on 2.1 and 2.2.......
and right now what you have is the best performing Youtube there is. If you are having issues with quality then its the youtube videos you are watching.....
Also it already does Full Screen... just rotate your device....
To answer your 2nd question, you will need to enable "Non-Market" Apps install. and then either Push the file to your device with ADB, or just put it on a SD card and open it with root explorer or another file explore program.
You can get to the applications settings by going to Nooktools app that came with autonooter, and going to all settings then to applications then you should see the option to enable "non Market installs"

Some confusion there. I pulled the gingerbread youtube apk from a thread around here on youtube that wouldn't run at all, hoping it would work. I downloaded it from my Nook so that must be why its blocked. Either way its not going to help. I'll just wait for an update.
And yes, I have turned it sideways....come on. I meant full screen HD.

Dig around for the file named "signed_YouTube.apk". This will play HQ vids properly on nook color eclair. You can run it from sdcard/system/app. If you get an installation error, open nook color tools and toggle Allow non market apps on and off then try again
Will do. Thanks.
Edit: That was the file i downloaded. I moved it to the sd card root and it installed. Not sure its any different but at least i know im current on the apk. Thanks again.

Another tip, in YouTube settings set it to start High Quality on mobile. This will default to HQ video when available. Look for videos in HD and tilt to landscape view. The video will take a few moments to buffer and start but then you can skip through it freely.

[Q] New Music App

Has anyone tried installing the new music app? Its telling me my device isn't compatible. Stock the hero isn't (requires 2.2+) but I'm running cm7 (2.3), and I'm in the US. What else could it be?
worked fine for me. just installed it using the link you posted
running cm7 as well
I'm having trouble installing it as well.
I figured it out. It requires OpenGL 2.0+. You can do the build.prop trick to set your opengl version to 131072 and it will install after a reboot.
Oh, the build.prop trick. That's a love/hate relationship right there. Doesn't seem to work for me despite some users having success over at the CM forum.
Using CM7.03
Edit: After 3 hours of this post, it randomly showed up as downloadable on my Market. I guess the build.prop edit worked. Thanks for the tip, maxpower.
Installed it on CM7. There is no settings option I can see to allow streaming.
works...
It installed and works fine on my Hero (CM7.0.3). Not sure that I'm a fan yet, but it works. It would probably be better if i had a beta invite for Google Music.
Yea, the Amazon mp3 app can store music I buy in the cloud. I tried it out, and what I found was I never listened to that music and I've since just downloaded it to my phone and/or computer. This will have an appeal but I own tens of thousands of songs. I'm not gonna upload them or buy them again just so they're in the cloud.
~maybe I set it too high...

[Q] Hulu on Flashback, Need Help, Is it possible?

I think I'm close, but I am not a hacker, I'm simply a direction follower. So, I've got no idea what to do next.
Here's what i've done -
I have flashback 8.1 installed. I have done most of the upgrades offered in 9.0, and am having NO issues with SOD so I haven't upgraded. As near as I can tell, the only thing I don't have is the new kernel.
I used the hacked flash player from this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1077914
It's version 103.185.25. (I first tried the hacked flash that was included with the flashback 8.1 distribution,but got the "not supported" message from Hulu.)
Using the 10.3.185.25 modded flash, and any of these three browsers - Dolphin HD, Stock Browser, or Skyfire 4.0, I have sound, but no video. I have all three browsers set to "desktop".
I have that at 288, 360, or 480 playback. It doesn't seem to matter. Opera mobile doesn't seem to work at all.
I didn't have any success replacing that library file in my last install of Flashback 8.1, though I haven't tried since I re-flashed last week.
So, am I close, or will this not work? Should I be trying anything else? All comments appreciated. Thanks much.
11.0.1.152 is the latest version
Hulu checks for two things that I know of to watch it on the gTab. It checks if the Flash you're running is a Windows version of Flash and also if it is the latest version (although this check sometimes doesn't happen every time).
What I would recommend to you is to uninstall the version of Flash you have on your gTab first. Then (if you can) install the latest version of Flash from the Market. Then do what I have recommended in the thread below.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1290504
Note: It seems to me that if you want Hulu to play without issues on the gTab go to Hulu.com and log in and then click on Account (next to your login name), select Privacy & Settings, and at the lower right corner of that page set your Playback Quality to 288p. The picture won't be crystal clear but all of the shows will play and play well on the gTab at that setting.

Double cast icons on stock chromecast after installing newest play services update

I installed the latest play services update so I could get Allcast working on chromecast. After installing it I got double cast icons when trying to use google music as shown in the attached pictures and they dont work reliably anymore. Anybody else experiencing the same issues and have a fix? I also installed a roku recently and not sure if that may also have something to do with the chromecast not behaving properly.

I assume you've rebooted since installing the Play Services update?
Roku shouldn't affect Chromecast.
Try rebooting your router in case it's some UPnP caching thing.
Odd since my device has the opposite affect....
I only have one CCast listing for each (I have two in use), But I have two entries for each XBMC on my Network.
I just figured it may be due to DLNA and UPnP both being supported by XBMC ad Allcast seeing each as a different target.

Thanks for the tips. Rebooted my router and it didnt change. I tried to cast using my windows laptop and each chromecast was only displayed 1 time and worked just fine so my issue is android specific. I am using a stock nexus 5. I also tried clearing cache and data on the chromecast android app and that did not work.

I saw that an AllCast update went out today so maybe it was a known bug that got fixed in the update...
Check the play Store to see if there is an Update available.

Force stop AllCast.
Flush apps Data and Cache.
Eventually if your phone is rooted, flush dalvik cache.
Reboot phone, it should work after reboot.
It's possible that you use illegitimate copy of a program, in such a case users with illegitimate copies usually uninstall and install app again.

Deleted allcast and the roku symbol on google music is gone which is good because when i tried to click roku on the cast pulldown menu in the google music app it would not do anything. But after restarting the phone the double chromecast icons are still there. I cant revert to the old version of the google play services which I feel may be the culprit for google music to be acting strange.
Same here get the double cast icons and neither one works

Do you get double cast icons only for google music or are other apps also affected?

[Q] music muting when using google music player

Hi people, I have a question which I am sure may stump you, looked thru some other threads but unable to find anything except the thread on google music id tags. Anyway the problem: Google music does not play any more since I flashed Liquid Smooth Rom v3.2 LS-KK-v3.2-2014-10-29. and GAPPS The music starts for a split second then mutes, then comes on again around 30 secs later.When viewing the volume icons in settings the music,video, games & other media is locked to mute with no way to raise it. Also when I try to unlock the phone, it mutes again when playing. The internet did not offer much help and what it did offer I have tried with turning off voice activation for google now. It plays thru Apollo now but did not this afternoon. Went into v4a settings and enabled what I think should be able to get it working even uninstalling the driver and rebooting also downloading the zip file (android forums told me about) and tried to install but super SU told me that "there was another version running with a different signature". I am running nova launcher but went back to liquid launcher to see if any different, still same problem. Drop a line if you may know how to fix it. I am thinking it is something simple but buggered if I know what it may be. I will start to move my music from google cloud back onto my SD card then move it to Apollo player.
Cheers for any help given.
Dan Albress.
