Twitter, HBO go don't work from what I have read..
What about MX player, whatsapp?

signal check will make your phone reboot

WhatsApp and MX Player are fine

Can confirm that Twitter doesn't work, crashes right after starting it.

Facebook doesn't show comments...Actually it does but you can't read anything

dropbox crashes instantly after sign in.
apps with semi-transparent comment pop-ups (i've notices google+ and facebook (and youtube once when clicking a weird link) don't render them properly (probably due to the new way that material works.

BaconReader isn't working, crashes right away.

Photoshop Touch for Phone gets stuck after start

Firefox crashes instantly

Wordbase does not work.

I'm having FCs on Twitter and Dropbox

Baconreader confirmed not working, I'm a reddit addict this is bad news

I think 20-25 is a bit steep. While I am sure I am not in the majority, I only have 15 installed apps that i've d/l.
maybe you should change it to top 5, because it's an easy number to reach.

Music beta

Has anyone got the music beta working on their hd2? I can access it just fine from my computer and my xoom but not from my phone. Is there something I'm missing?
Sent from my HD2 using XDA Premium App
music sync from phone
hi Same here
i've just received acceptation for music beta invitation, and I've been able to upload music from my laptop to my google music account.
I can now listen to music through my google account via web browser (laptop and phone)
The only probleme is that I can't manage to get access to this cloud from the music app (the new one) on my HD2.
note : There's no option in my google account manager for google music (like picasa, mail or contacts)
note 2 : would that trouble come from the fact that I'm in france ?
I haven't tried to access through the browser, will give that a shot now. I'm guessing that we will have app access after the beta. I hope anyways
Sent from my HD2 using XDA Premium App
I uninstalled the music app from my hd2 then installed app from music beta website(directed me to google web app site). Music app on phone then worked. Hit menu settings to access music on computer. Hope this helps.
I have it on my HD2 it took like 36 hrs after being invited for the app on my phone to actually connect with the cloud servers, now works great!!
Heed Beergenius
Try what beergenius suggested. I installed the Music Beta app to my phone prior to getting the invitation. Once I received the invitation and uploaded all my music I was still unable to access it from phone. I looked under my account sync and there was no music option. Uninstalled Music app and reinstalled. All my music instantly appeared and when looking under account sync, music checkbox was now available.

Chrome app "Videostream for Google Chromecast™" (rebranded "Chromecast Video")

Chrome app "Videostream for Google Chromecast™" (rebranded "Chromecast Video")
Chromecast Video v1.0.1 is gone from the Chrome Web Store. It has been replaced by Videostream for Google Chromecast™ 1.0.4:
https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/chromecast-video/cnciopoikihiagdjbjpnocolokfelagl
or
https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/videostream-for-google-ch/ebfagpccbccalgocgjlfkahogjfhliab
I guess the only difference is apps name.

After some Google drama, we're back up and running. Turns out they hated that our icon was so cleverly similar to their Chrome icon. We're back now, better than ever after being pulled for 3 days.

Too bad, I though the old name was kind of catchy.
No other changes? I guess we can wait for the next update then.

The old name violated Google's Terms of Service I would imagine as well.
It very much violated many Google's branding guidelines haha.
Edit:
The latest update basically just updated the icons, etc... and added some share buttons.
Is there any way to control Videostream from a remote device? I've dabbled with RemoteCast but it didn't seem to pick up on the Videostream content.
Great app! Keep up the good work!
Anyway to add time stamps along with forward/rewind 30 seconds etc

I'm trying to launch the app from my chrome browser and it keeps giving me an error saying that we can't connect to your chromecast. I checked the list and I have Chrome browser installed on my laptop, google cast extension as well and both are using the same wifi. I just don't know why it is happening to me. I even disabled my kaspersky internet security, but no luck at all....Is anyone having the same issue with me ?

Another vote for adding times on the timeline.
App Needs Launch Button
Great aoo Works flawlessly but have to go to Web Store to launch. No launch button in chrome toolbar,
I really like the app Videostream for Chromecast. However, there is not a button on the toolbar that allows me to launch it from chrome directly. I have to go to the Play Store and launch from there. Anyone else have this problem? I have not been able to find any references about this problem on any forums.
It's an app not and extension. I find the open apps button on the bookmark bar, and it's there.
More info HERE or you can add a button HERE
I see we have an end time on the timeline now!
Oh-- it should be in your Start menu / Spotlight.

Post your apps!!

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.

Pbs kids app -

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
Su
Tibu
(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.
So let's hear it.

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.

Nope, you can download it from the play store. Only reason I use it is b/c it syncs to my health insurance companies app.
Guys this is really pointless. You guys know that the preview is pretty much an alpha build and most of it will still be changed right? I mean really we are over 7 months away from release so not real point. This was for developers and not meant as a daily driver.
Snapchat, Phonograph, and Groupme all work perfectly fine. Android Pay does not work at all.
I have a ton of apps installed and they all work with exception of the XDA Labs app and some games. I can't get any apps downloaded from the Amazon AppStore to run.
Facebook works for me but I got the native libraries error when I first logged in after installing the N OTA.
