2) Reboot ur device
3) Install the apk
4) Change permissions(may not be required)
5) Enjoy
NOTE: VOICE INPUT IS NOT WORKING CAUSE IT CANT CONNECT TO THE NETWORK FOR SOME REASON.

Just curious, will this method also work with the alpha jellybean release??
-snip- didn't see
thank you.
what works?
thanks friend.
So its Google Now except the voice input? Sounds interesting.
Just like the old Google search
Its essentially just the old ics google search with just JB theme on it... missing some files that prevents it to connect to Network .. so neither voice command can be used, nor Google now works as it should be automatically providing updates ...
So in all generality, its just simple google search now... anyways good work around parsing error.. maybe we will get voice working soon too..
+1
I think it is also possible to make written questions instead of spoken in the original Google Now, so it is not unusable.

Doesn't Google Now without voice kind off render the point of it useless ?
Anyways Good work.
Will follow the progress of this everyday
Guys, this is taken from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1747224
You'll see it's still a work in progress. Not sure why someone decided to post it here, as it's pretty much useless without voice.
Yeah gotta say that it's great to share and all, but the title is terribly misleading.
Yeah, he should state in the name of the thread that it is in developement.

This was already written up on the Portal, since it's generic, there is no need for one here, also.
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.

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
Network communication
full Internet access, view network state

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.

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.
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...
interesting to bad its not compatible

Thanks was looking for this app from a long time, to my dismay found its not compatible with Nexus7. Thanks for posting the apk.
Weird, the app works perfectly fine with my Nexus 7 (the one from play store)

the app is still unavailable on my n7
sounds weird
edit: on website it's available but when i try to search for it through my device i can't even see it
50GB is only for a limited time though. Can't see in the small print how long it lasts for.

That is weird...it's supposed to work now...oh well, i just updated the files in the OP so you can download and install the latest version if you haven't yet...
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

Hey all, I have a Rogers NFC Sim for my S3 running the latest CM 10.1 nightly. I was looking to use the CIBC Mobile Payment App available in the Play Store here. Of course it won't appear in the Store on my device because the device identifies itself differently than a stock Rogers S3, so I grabbed the APK from here, however the app simply won't install when I open it from my file explorer.
How can I forcibly install this app? My hardware is compatible with this app so this should just be a question of using some magic to trick the APK into installing.

There's no way it HAS to be unless there is some specific dependency on TouchWiz. Whether or not it's easy or recommended is difference.

I'm trying yet again to get mobile payment working on my phone as well.
I'm simply astonished that nobody has ever found an actual way to hide rooting on a phone. I'm not a developer, but really, how hard could it possibly be? if we have root we should be able to do ANYTHING to trick an app that doesn't have root in to not knowing root is there. why hasn't anyone come up with a sandbox for these stupid apps yet???
(and don't show me links to any of the dozens of "root hiding" apps, I've never found a single app that checks for root that is fooled by any of these.)
anyone figured out a workaround yet?
Stopped being an issue ages ago for me (this thread is 3 years old). The CIBC app now works happily on many more devices, including rooted ones.

Maybe try in a thread for that device. This is the SIII thread.
I hoping to try out an app called 'Early Learning Academy' on my Nexus 10 tablet. It is by abcmouse.com a children's learning app. They used at my son's daycare on ipads, but development or android is still in development.
I have been speaking with the customer support of abcmouse and they told me that the app is not available for the Nexus 10 yet, but is available for the Nexus 7.
So my hope/request is if someone with a Nexus 7 could download and then post apk where I could then try and side load it on a Nexus 10 and see what happens.
Most likely the images will be odd looking but should work. They only need to add a few folders with the right sized icons and dimensions for it to work.

Thanks,
I found an app called apk downloader in the market. It let's you download an app without installing it, so was able to get it that way. Going to sideload it now and see what it does.
