bbc iplayer and tvcatchup apps (uk) - Nexus 4 Themes and Apps

Any idea why its telling me these aren't compatible with my device? Is it just a case of waiting till they update them to work with 4.2?
Thanks and sorry if not in correct forum!

The dev probably hasn't listed the N4 as a compatible device yet.
Edit...I've sent you a pm.

I'm wondering the same. Can you please post your response in the open forum to benefit all, instead of sending PM's?

You need to side load the apk. I don't want to be distributing apks in an open forum for obvious reasons.

So I am assuming that I can use a titanium backup to restore these Apps to my nexus 4 then?

+1 - I restored a backup (from my S3) of BBC Iplayer and BBC Media Player and they work fine on my Nexus 4. Only issue is video is not 100% full screen as the soft keys do not go away when playing video. I expect this will be fixed when the app actually supports the Nexus 4. It also seemed to have issues resizing properly when I turned phone from portrait to landscape, so I had to go back to iplayer start, put phone in landscape and then start video.

When are all the apps going to be compatible with Jelly Bean?

Its starting to aggravate me that my old phone can do more than this tablet. Is jb really that new? No one prepared for it's release? Come on! Love my tablet but wtf is the hold up with the apps not being ready to use like td bank and Amazon mobile to name a few.

Make sure u on stock DPI !!! Then clear data on market and Google right below it,reboot then it'll work I'm telling u 99%apps are compatible with jellybean man I've installed tons and tons of apps even hardcore games 2gb large

I must agree to a certain extent. NatWest banking app fails on jellybean, it just won't show my balance. For the most part however, apps work fine.

Unlikely has anything to do with JB. Most likely the permissions listed below are incompatible with the Nexus 7.
Amazon Mobile requires these permissions:
Your location
coarse (network-based) location, fine (GPS) location
Network communication
full Internet access, view network state
Hardware controls
take pictures, control vibrator

TD Bank (US) requires these permissions:
Services that cost you money
directly call phone numbers
Your location
coarse (network-based) location, fine (GPS) location

Amazon mobile in the play store says its not compatible with the nexus 7. but If you sideload it it works fine. using it right now on my device.
Didnt try the td bank app but try sideloading that one as well. It might work.

Sent From Nexus 7 XDA Premium HD App
Yes I keep encountering apps that don't appear in the market. They may very well work, but won't appear for nexus 7/jelly bean.
Some examples?
linephone
GT racing Hyundai edition
And there are lots of others that I can't think of now. Since owning this nexus (since launch date) I've probably encountered 30-40 apps that aren't available on the market. And I know there are lots others. Didn't really bother me at first, but I thought with how much this has sold that developers would issue (what would be minor most of the time) updates so these would be available.
And I've never bothered looking into it, but I know obviously you can keep an apk when downloading it from the market and others have posted them on various websites for others in situations like this, however my understanding is with jb it encrypts them so this is no longer possible with jb.
Because sometimes I get determined and go hunting for an apk and it turns out to be two versions behind or whatever. Is there a way to download apks even on jb? Is there an app that can do this? I'm not saying this regarding pirating, just another means of trying to get apps that are free that would more than likely work on this device.

...

Where you ever able to find the apk? I myself am also looking for it

I also was unable to download the app from the store, BUT I have the apk of the tablet version which I installed manually and it works fine. I can upload it once I get home if you would like.

they're not the same. The Amex for Android app is for tablets. The one attached here is the American Express US app.

[APP][OFFICIAL]MediaFire

Hi guys! Just wanna share the official MediaFire app from https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mediafire.android :good:
Just released today... Apparently, not compatible with our device...
Please hit Thanks below if I helped in someway...
EDIT (01/16/2013): Mediafire updated the app to ver 1.0.1. now compatible with Nexus 7! Have fun with your free 50GB (with an upload limit of 200MB/file) :silly: oh well, at least video streaming seems to work with the app...

I had installed it on my samsung vibrant yesterday, and just transferred the apk over to my tablet, worked without issues.
I am new to android so bear with me. I started to download this app but it wants permission to access all my data and also to be able to erase all my data on sd card. What does this mean and is it dangerous? Thanks

Give me a link and I'll take a screen. I don't know which pages have prominent ads as I've been blocking them for years.
On a side note I do have to edit the hosts file occasionally to allow certain sites, as taptu and feedly won't redirect correctly for some of my feeds if they are blocked.
Edit I'll add a few sites. Obviously the ads are blocked in apps too which is the main benefit I find.
Thanks so much for this app !

Virgin TV Anywhere

Could anyone still running 4.3 on Nexus 7 or 10 or has another compatible tablet who has installed this app
https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...dia.tvanywhere
please extract the apk and share it on here.
I have managed to sideload it and it works on 4.4 but I can only seem to get hold of phone version online which is stuck in portrait mode. The page says the version varies with device so there must be a tablet version which should install on a compatible device.
Thanks in advance.

You can't use this app if your device is "Modified"(Rooted).
Tried it on my S3 on 4.3
It allowed me to access my Tivo stuff but wont let you watch live TV.

There's an Xposed module that lets you hide root from individual apps.

IT WORKS on KIT KAT, thanks for the attachment and hard work. You've done a superb job.
On my HTC one, as I've installed a custom Rom I had to edit the build prop to make it the correct htc Europe model etc...
I built it with lucky patcher.
I used lucky patcher to install as well as it helped to remove the old version firstly and start a fresh.
I had to block root access as the app requested permission too.

Lucky Patcher won't let me remove the old version. I get 'restoration failed'. Strange thing is using the Android UI settings I cannot find TV Anywhere. Doesn't seem to be installed. Any ideas please? :silly:
Clear cache... of it's still being stubborn.. I believe the app stores itself in mnt/asec mnt RW and delete tva folder.

I'm just looking for some feedback on what the Virgin TV Anywhere app is like on an OUYA. It is easy to navigate using the OUYA controller? Are the programmes all displayed fullscreen? Are On Demand and Netflix and Youtube channels also available?
I ask because at the mo I only have the HD+ Virgin box. To use this app on an Android device you need a Tivo. This means having to pay an extra £5 a month, but more significantly, take out a new contract to get a Virgin Tivo box. So I want to be sure the app is any good before I splash the cash and signup.
Cheers
The app allows u to stream a select few channels live... You can't watch on demand or content in my shows. But you can remotely manage your recordings... IMHO... Not worth upgrading as you can use rcx for remote and other free TV streaming apps... I'll make a list of channels Virgin streams...
