Hi guys,
I was just wondering if anyone out there has already thought of this or if this is even possible.
First off, I have no clue where to send suggestions to google, and I doubt they respond anyway so the best hope for this would be a community effort.
The Situation: (no Jersey shore jokes please) Well we're all annoyed by the rampant abuse of the Market by certain companies releasing and updating their pointless fact based apps, and that makes the whole "Just in" option useless.
We only have "Top Paid" and "Top Free".
Basically, the Android Market experience is pretty bad in terms of searching for apps though categorisation.
Proposed Solution:
What the Android Market needs is the following.
1. A Sort by Rating, Alphabetically, Date Released, Developer option (probably more but that's all I can think of now).
2. More sub-categories within the main ones. E.G Multimedia->Video Player/Music Player
What do you guys think? Is it plausible?
There have been countless discussions on this on here, other forums, news groups, Google official groups and everywhere else for that matter and in all honestly pretty pointless to talk about since Google appears to be in on hurry at all to resolve this issue.
(nothing against you, just stating facts).
you can post suggestions to android here:
http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/list
Try appbrain.com they do a good job filtering the nuisance apps from the just in apps.
Just minutes after signing up for this forum I got 3 random people to follow me on Twitter. I never put my Twitter name in my info anywhere. Two of them seemed to be Android developers or somehow affiliated with Android and the 3rd had no info as to what they do.
I'm just wondering if this is some weird coincidence or is there a way to find someone's Twitter name on this forum even if it was never given?

What are their usernames? can you post them so we can see who it is........ hopes its not @akaskriller that guy is a sham
It seems that after I blocked them they stopped following me... so I can't get the names right now but that name doesn't look familiar.
Hey guys, I'm relatively new to the android programming scene and I'm trying out a simple app idea I have. My app idea is to be a way for people to make posts to facebook and that's it. I've got the code working but what really bugs me is how the logging in system works and how the posting system works. The way I have done it, the app does not handle the authentication flow nor the posts, but rather a pop-up comes up and asks them to sign in or make a post - similar to using the browser. This does not work with the design of the rest of the app along with slowing it down. I need help. I want my app to authorize the user, similar to how the official Facebook android app logs people in; there are no pop-ups and everything is handled by the app (same to be done with making posts). If you guys could help me out by blatantly telling me what to do, sending me any articles that explain how to do it, or any other help I would appreciate it. Thanks!
NOTE: I have glanced around the Facebook developer site and I'm completely confused by their documentation. I know there's something about fragments, but I'm not sure if I understand it completely.
Okay guys, I found this thread at Stack Overflow and found the answer. In case anyone else had a similar question. http://stackoverflow.com/questions/...x-send-to-the-users-wall-with-facebooks-andro
Let's get started!
What you're going to need!(IMPORTANT!)
1. SU
2. Busy Box
3. A Way To Side Load
4. Knowledge Of Permission Setting
& Root Permissions
5. Root Explorer
If you're familiar with setting permissions via. Root Explorer that's a plus!
I'm sorry, but as I don't get on the computer much. I can't provide permissions to set and I'll tell you the usual.
Everything here can be found with a simple Google search.
Are you a noob?
Well, I can tell you that this procedure is very easy and something easy to remember.
Google a search on; "What Permissions To Set On Root Explorer In System" or something among those lines, as we will need to install .apk's that way!
Assuming you understand what to do, let's figure out what player you'd like to use.
I, being one to have large libraries of music tend to use PlayerPro, I recommend Google Music/Google Play Music.
Let's pull more strings! Pull the app off the net or if you own the app, extract it onto a side load app you trust.
Once done, proceed to Root Explorer with knowing you have the app on the Ouya itself, once you see it use the Copy Paste method and place it in the System Apps(can be easily found from Main Directory), once you've established this, now is where permission settings come into play.
You should be able to remotely click the bottom "..." Using the D-Pad or the Touch Pad. This is where Copy And Paste should be.
If you've gotten through this and everything is set up proper, the next step is to reboot the console itself, do a full reboot to prevent any confusion and risk not seeing/having the player working.
If you've done this correctly, once you go to view your apps, you should see your app installed and ready to go.
NOTE: And yes, I mean note! Do not try this with the side load procedure and expect it to work, people have attempted this and either 1. See force closes, 2. The app is not loading, 3. The app is there but will not open and doesn't truly seem to be installed.
SIDE NOTE: This can be done with both ADB and my procedure.
If this was useful to you, I can only ask of a favor!

MODS This just clickbait SPAM BS.
The title is vague on purpose, and the thread is basically saying "Hey bro, if you want a music app on your Ouya, just sideload that ****! OH WOW!"
However, like dully79 said, the only main reason to use the official Google Music app is to use the Google Music service and stream your library from the cloud. However, this is impossible without Google Services, which is not present in the stock Ouya ROM and isn't in any 3rd party ROM out yet, either. So basically, you can't do what he says you can do by doing what he says to do.
This is clearly intended to get people to try and go to his stupid YouTube channel, which he links to at the end.
How about you get traffic and views by having good content on your channel, instead of polluting this forum with useless bull****?

Please be respectful of my threads.
No, I do not have my channel setup at the end to spam boards, it's just a simple thanks if you enjoyed my tutorial.
I don't intend to spam people, nor do I try and grab traffic.
I am simply trying to help others understand a method, if you disagree, I'd be more than happy to remove my channel link with a simple request, and also a request that you not bash my threads as I'm only here for assistance and spend my time happily making ROMs and doing other things.
I will not criticize you unless you doing do the same, it's disrespectful to me that you try and hurt my progress and tuts I post as users may not know how.
If I were simply begging for something I'd spend my time in General Forums where people generally go to do that sort of thing.
Lastly, if you've got nothing nice to say, don't say it and just avoid wasting your time coming through a place where people go to help, not get help with a channel.
I'm disappointed to know that someone would go as far as to make a whole post bashing on what I do to help the community, and I will have this brought to the mods and discussed with them in order to better our area without someone posting the same in all threads.
My last words are, thank you for those of you who actually know I try to help and who simply understand that if I were to spam you'd seed traffic from my post everywhere. I love you all, and appreciate you not going this far to bash me.

To leave my feedback on a clearer note. YES! Yes you can listen to music from a storage device as long as the device is read as a USB Mount! This has been confirmed by others in the official Ouya Forums!
Google Play Music is for cloud streaming. And for any other read device!

Oops, my bad man, all credit goes to you if I took your method.
People cry a out signatures, there's no need for one! I love my community and will stand up for it!
This thread was your fourth post on XDA, at least on that account.
It is not actually a Development post and contains basically nothing that anyone in the Dev section wouldn't already know ("Hey bro, if you want to put an app onto your system you can copy & paste it into /system/apps! This makes it a system app! Oh wow!")
Then you link to your YouTube channel and ask people to go to it.
All of these things together made you seem like a SPAMmer. If you're not, sorry about that, but your post is still in the wrong forum and doesn't actual contain useful or new information. The fact that a much better thread explaining how to do what you posted about exists (in the correct forum no less) is just icing on the cake.

That's fine, I just didn't want you to take me as a spammer, I didn't intend to.
I didn't know where to post this at that.
I've got multiple things done that people are still asking about and I was just trying to knock this one out of the way.

If this is in the wrong place I apologize. First which devices run live aods? Im very surprised note 8 doesn't have this functionality. Second general gripes about oreo ota. 1) removed app longpress options such as "app info" etc why? 2)buried easily accessible settings through longpressing quicksettings. 3)not oreo but annoying. No dedicated live wp menu. Please add your gripes itt.
I think there is nothing to "gripe", all the complaints that you are presenting can be easily fixed or implemented by means of some app, if you read carefully this entire section, you can find many useful insights about oreo and its changes, in my case, instead of complaining or whinning, I preffer to look for solutions or fixes, but that is my opinion

too bad more people dont feel the same way!:good::good:
<Mod Snip> (profanity) are you talking about not only did oreo remove functionality it literally borked many users phones. Why on earth would you celebrate "finding apps" to work around previous functionalities? <Mod Snip> (Flaming/Rude) Also if you are so keen on fixes than LIST THEM HERE. adress the issues or you're just griping about my gripe. Plus you did not answer the main question. <Mod Snip> (Flaming/Rude)

As you can see, I have edited your post a bit. No need to flame other members the way you have here. Post respectfully or ignore. Flaming and implied profanity will get you into trouble so try to avoid doing that in the future.
Thanks!

Fair enough mod. I've been around a while and have never flamed. But I'm really at my wits end. I had a perfectly functioning non rooted device that no longer works properly after 8.0 ota. I have default alert tones, all apps had specific akert tones, ringing with no indication of what they are. Apps will download but not install without a long period of time. Badges are borked. Apps will not open from notification shade. And Ive not found a fix. Ive read even factory reset will not remedy the situation. So if your handset works, great, but it seems like piling on when you get replies like the above. Ive removed Samsung account, removed updates from google apps. Cleared partition cache and nada..

I understand your frustration, trust me. I'm having the same issues coming from the S8+ to the S9+. I also miss some of the features that Oreo seemed to remove. However, please just try not to take that frustration out on other members. If you're not pleased with someone's response, as I said, you can ignore it or if it's really bad, report it and mods will handle it. I hope you find a resolution or you could possibly RMA if needed I suppose.
Good luck!
Thank you for your polite response. Im wondering if I should start a thread if there is an oreo specific forum? Btw does S9 have the live aods?

We have the infinity wallpapers, which kinda adds a live effect to the AOD but not really lol. I think your thread here is ok as is, there might be an Oreo related thread in the guides section for Note 8 but TBH I haven't checked. It's a well known fact that Senior Mods are too lazy to read. :silly:

I only stated that is useless to complain or whine
here in XDA, about all the things you do not like about Oreo or for that matter anything related, nobody here has control or solutions for what samsung implements, or takes away, and, for solutions, YOU are the one who must look for them, I never demand anything from others
So in any regard. If you want animated AOD. Heres what you do. Why if you go to Samsung store and try to dl an animated aod it tells you "your phone is not compatible with animated aod's" is beyond me but whatever.
1) go to AOD, under Lock screen settings
2)choose clock style
3)choose style where you previously or now can choose a static pic
4) choose gif will now be an option and about 20 default gifs will be present. Choose one of those or your own
5)profit

That may be true, but as I said if you go to Samsung store and try to dl an animated aod it will at least tell me "device not supported". But I got a few cool ones from giphy.
So Im copying this here in the hopes it may help somebody. At least re. Oreo's random and unceasing notifications.
I may have found the reason. The new power saving "feature" may be the culprit. It seems to sound an alert every time it sleeps an app not whitelisted. Probably one of the stupidest pieces of coding ever. I caught a notification in the bar of like an ekg line when it happened. But get this it immediately disappears. So if you dont catch it you have now idea why you're being alerted. Go in to maintenance and switch all off or whatever you think is appropriate and it should stop. However the random vibration alerts I can't figure out. Ill get them for apps I dont have them set for but sporadically like instagram. And then on next sms which I have it specifically set not to vibrate. Hope this helps.
