Android as a Launcher - Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II

Seems like Google found a way to fight carriers slow response to update Android. XDA User Xtremeyouth1 found this while surfing AndroidPolice. Thought I might share this with you all.

That article seems to attack google. The reason Google is doing that is because its trying to bypass the carriers and offer android on the play store like an app and receive updates when they want to. Overall make Nexus like devices, less fragmentation.

Soon You Can Get Full Access to Rdio For Free, Without Ads

Hope they make a WP7 App, too, but at least there's an Android App. That will be nice, Lol. Just as I was actually starting to give Spotify a bit of consideration!!!
There's already a WP7 Rdio app.

From Rdio? They don't have it listed on their website. I dint tend to use third party apps for stuff like that...
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
Yep. Just do a search in the Marketplace for Rdio.
And why post this in the wp7 forums if you don't think there is a WP app? There is, btw, published by rdio, btw.

Because if there isn't one, I want one once this launches?
That's pretty simple... Really...
I'd never heard of the service before I read that. That explains my ignorance of their app, and since I tend to use my Vibrant as a daily driver (hence the tag in my post) my HD7 was in another room and I wasn't about to get out of my bed just to check that.

Bank of America for Tablets

Would any one be so kind as to post a copy of the the " Bank of America for Tablets" apk? It won't allow me to download it from the market.
Something just feels scary asking for a Banking app on a public forum. Its extremely easy to tamper with it and give you a malicious version... I'd watch out with requests like this. :angel:

I understand the risks and appreciative your concern. I am not planning to log in. Just trying to test the UI with Nexus 7. I do check to see who it is coming from (reputation). Thank you though.
The app launches, but when I login it just hangs at a black screen
I've been looking for that app as well :-/

Can someone post current version. Also to address safety concerns if you have safe pass enabled for every log in no one can sign in without a code being sent by text to your phone... So kosher...
Are there 2 separate versions? I have the BOA app on my N7 it works great. Is there another version besides the one I got on play store?

Yeah there's the bofa app for phone and one for tablet. Tablet let's you use myportfolio and has some enhanced features. The app available in the market for the n7 is the phone app.

I found this link
https://www.bankofamerica.com/online-banking/android-tablet-banking-app.go
Where you're supposed to be able to email it to yourself but ive done it twice and it wont work. Why does the Play Store link say our devices aren't compatible when we're using tablets? Lol
Edit: T_T got the email, it literally just links direct to the play store again. What a waste of potential.
I'm also looking for the current APK. The older one linked here installs fine but unfortunately BoA has updated their app so as soon as you try and open it the app sends you to the market for an update and since the N7 isn't compatible, won't let you download.
Last updated Dec. 12 BofA apk

That's not the tablet app

This kinda sucks, just picked up the new model nexus 7. This is my first tablet, and I was kinda excited to see the difference between tablet apps and phone apps. Both American Express and Bank of America won't let me download their tablet versions. American Express won't even allow the regular mobile version either!

Possible to reset Grooveshark trial on Android?

As of yesterday the official Grooveshark app has been re-released to the Google Play store as seen here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.grooveshark.mobile.android
I was wondering if someone could make a hack to reset the Grooveshark Anywhere trial like this one for iOS: http://xsellize.com/topic/194195-o-grooveshark-enhancer-266-1/
Or is there a different way to do it without making a app like this? Thanks!

Well, the whole point of a trial is to give you a try before you buy with the ultimate goal of you buying it. To circumvent that would be the equivalent of pirating the app. Pretty sure this is against XDA policy.

Try tinyshark instead.
Edit: hmmm can't see it in the store anymore

For you xbox users "xbox smartglass"

From The Verge:
"We've been excited about Microsoft SmartGlass since we first got a look at it during E3, and now it's time for Android users to get in on the fun: the app has officially been released for Google's mobile platform. The app requires Android 4.0 or higher, and will allow users to interact with their Xbox 360 to control video playback, navigate the interface, and search content. The real magic happens with it comes to interactive content, however: as we saw back in June, game developers and content creators can use the SmartGlass platform to offer additional information, second-screen gameplay, and even let users browse the actors in the scene of a given movie to see what else the peformers have been in.
It's not yet clear how much content has been equipped with SmartGlass functionality just yet — and there's no sign of the iOS app for that matter, either. Still, this release is an important step towards Microsoft making its new vision for the living room come to fruition."

I love the smartglass app on this phone. It's taking some getting use to, really like using the Internet browser on the tv and typing with my phone as well as being able to scroll.

I read about this app the other day. Did a search for it and couldn't find it. Guess it's actually out now. Def interested in trying it since I've already found out it plays nice with my xbox for watching my movies and pics and listening to music from my S3. Almost effortlessly in fact. So this smartglass app should work pretty good since the chinese remote I bought don't work all that well, haha.
Love this app since comes really in handy if your not able to connect from your xbox

tablet apps in the play store that aren't available to install?

just got an n7. like it a lot but one thing is confusing to me... why do some(actually, a lot) of the tablet specific apps in the play store show as not available to install? example... bank of america has a tablet app but i'm forced to install the phone one instead.
am i missing something obvious?

Search these forums for phablet, Google's odd solution to the bigger than a phone but smaller than a tablet interface. In some ways you get the worse of both worlds instead of the best. The search will turn up all sorts of info on the way folks feel about it.

Isn't there a way to trick the market to give us full tablet apps?
Google for a app called lucky patcher. It can patch play store. Never used it myself. So backup your device.

You can just search here at XDA for a useful thread that provides various special versions of the Play Store. You can install one that will force everything to be for a certain dpi value or to ignore dpi or many other options. I have a special version on my Dell Streak that I got from here.
