Movies App from google now released (wifi)

all you xoom wifi owners check your market there should be videos app waiting for you in updates.

i see it but shouldnt we have a section in the market to rent movies now? i dont see the market update yet

yeah nothing in market yet but you can see movies you rented in the app and the shop goes to online im sure they will reroute it soon.

Its not just wifi Xooms i have a Vzw 3G Xoom and i got the update a little bit ago.

I see it but it does not install for me on us wifi stock 3.1 with unlocked bootloader.

yup, can't install on mine

please post videos apk
Can someone please post the apk so us rooted users can try it out and get a look at it etc..

This has been said before, but just as a reminder. You won't be able to install it if your bootloader is unlocked. You have to be completely stock and locked.

Just because we are told it won't work doesn't mean we can't get it to work.
Anyone have the apk yet?
Sent from my Tablet

I never said that somebody wont be able to make it work. Just that you won't be able to install it from the market. And as far as making it work, one would need to remove the checks that it does for modified devices.

I've had this on my wifi xoom ever since using BRD's method to update to 3.1. Is this update a true update? How do I get rid of the update notice?

Finally!!!!!!!
after 190909090 attempts!!! started to download and its working!!
Probably was something wrong with the google server not allowing to download.
try it again. everyone should be good to go.

still no go for me

Not entirely true it can be installed if your rooted, however you will not be able to watch rented videos.
My rooted wifi got the update via market today and installed without any issue.

I finally got it to install by first opening up the gallery and then going back to the market and clicking on update. I am rooted and running Tiamat Kernel.

Still no go for me either. For those of you that got the update today did your market change as well?

Anybody mind posting the movies apk?

Possible Way to Install Google Wallet

Engadget recently posted about a Chrome extension called APK Downloader. It allows you to download the APK for any app on the market, including those that may be blocked by your carrier. My first thought was to try Google Wallet for my T-Mo Nexus S. I was able to get it installed and add the prepaid card. I haven't had a chance to try a purchase yet, though. Let me know if it works for you.
I can't post links yet but just search APK Downloader on Engadget for info on where to download it from
After I got APK Downloader installed in Chrome, I googled "Google Wallet site: play.google.com" and then used the extension to download the APK to my Dropbox so I could quickly access it from my phone.
If anyone has a chance to do this and make a purchase, let me know. I'll give it a shot tomorrow

Just used wallet successfully
I can confirm that the above method worked for me. I was able to install the app, add the prepaid card, and successfully buy something with it.
I have not tested this on a non-rooted phone, although I imagine it could work since you do not need to be rooted to install an APK outside of the Play Store.
One other note for rooted users, there is a persistent banner on the app that says "Unsupported Device. Learn more." This means exactly what it says. It is unsupported so the Google Wallet devs aren't obligated to help you if you are rooted and have problems with the app. This does not mean that the app will not work.

One more update: it looks like after installing the app in this way, it shows up in the "my apps" section of the Play Store, allowing you to update it (providing it's an update that doesn't break it for root users).

It's due to the regional and carrier settings. In the US, I believe its only available for the Sprint Nexus S 4G, and not available for anyone else. This method allows everyone else to update and install google wallet.

Hey,
Thanks for this link - I managed to get the app installed (i9020 bought unbranded, on T-Mobile UK, totally stock unrooted 4.0.4).
However, when I start the app up, I still get the "this app is not supported in your country / on your network" error.
I guess it's because I'm in the UK? Any way to get around this?
Thanks,
Suman

As a Canadian I have yet to find a way to do this short of driving 30mins to the border, hopping on a US network and trying then. Might need to switch sims as well.
Sent from my Nexus S using xda premium

Hmm, ok... so does the device permanently have to be on a "supported" network for the Wallet application to load up, or does it just need to get activated first?
I have an old AT&T GoPhone SIM somewhere (in my crypts!) which I could possibly use in the phone, but I don't know if roaming would work...
Will have to give it a go and see what happens!

Try market enabler and spoofing to T-Mobile US, you need root though
Works for me

Hey,
That's cool - do you use it pay for stuff randomly then? Are you using the Google card or a Citi card? Tell me everything!
My device is totally stock and unrooted and currently locked bootloader - do you have a step by step guide for how to get Market Enabler working?
Cheers,
Su

I am the only person outside of the US that Google Wallet shows up in my Play Store?!
I'm in the UK and my Nexus is a completely stock i9020T running 4.0.4. The app doesn't open properly because "my country is not supported" but I can still download from the stock Play Store app :S

anyway to root without wiping on 4.0.4 ics stock?

Does anyone know if it's possible to get wallet working outside the US once it's installed?

Google Catalogs on Nexus 7

Google can't release this for their own tablet? I tried downloading the apk, but it's cut off at times on the right.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app

I'm not too surprised... It is not compatible with any of my devices...

I can't even find an APK of the current version to sideload. I have one of version 1 but the latest looks to be 1.1.1.

Google Catalogs v1.2.0
Have you been able to hunt down the v1.2.0 apk from anywhere? I have the v1.0 loaded on my N7 but it's not allowing me to update it or anything.
Thanks!

you mean this? Works perfectly fine for me.

Yes, I mean that.
If it isn't too much trouble could you please supply the latest v1.1.1 apk available so the rest of us who can't grab it directly can side load it please?
Thanks!

Thank-you so much.
Finding some one to up that app has been like pulling teeth...
Very much appreciated =)

yea it's US only too I think, I can't always see it anymore if I search market app (can see it if i search the site and it says compatible). IDK why it's showing that for you guys, this is the first app I got as soon as i opened the box.
Also the description doesn't mention compatible with tablet only etc, why isn't it downloadable on my galaxy nexus?

I had this problem on the Nexus 7, I installed an app called OTA Rootkeeper which temporary disables root, so make sure you fully close Sky Go, open the Rootkeeper App and temporary disable root then back to Sky Go and it should work, well it did for me!

Where can i find the App Sky go?

youll have to fully unroot to use Sky Go. it sucks to be honest i tried it on my Nexus 7 and the quality is quite poor for about 30 seconds before it gets slightly better.

In italy, this SkyGo apk, works fine.
Maybe it will work in UK or other country.
If someone can try, so i can open an official thread

Google play movies app on oreo

I really like using these new Oreo ROMs but I can't seem to get Google play movies app to work. Then even if it works it only works for 1 or 2 times then it never works again. Just want to know if there's a work around so that I can still watch the movies I paid for without being stuck to nougat. Thanks in advance ?

Someone else may have experiences to share, I don't use play movies. If I had trouble like this, I'd be pulling a logcat and looking to see why it fails.
