Search the forums there is a patched copy of the videos APK that works in rooted devices and with the new market for renting movies to watch.

Youtube and other videos. broke

Videos in the BROWSER only play audio. Works in youtube app no problem. But can't view videos on video sites. Don't wanna have to rely on an app for every website. I dunno if its just me. Please let me know I'm not alone. I'm rooted using adw and rootkeeper

Answer me this after rooting did you update flash player from android market? If you did uninstall it with adw and you will be fine. It happen to me.

Are you rooted? (Or willing to root your device?)
Apps like Google maps have a dependency on frameworks not included with the stock OS

I am rooted

Are there any other simpler or more easy to follow methods?

Check the alternative install. (scroll down a bit)

Hosts file

I am looking for a way to block porn on my son's evo. It is rooted and I just wanted to put a hosts file in place so he won't know until he tries.

Install Ad Away, have it apply the hosts file, and then simply uninstall the app

Maybe probably. Try it out, or look up a hosts file for android that does.

Adfree does block porn if you select that option. It is available from playstore.

Not anymore, Google pulled all ad blocking apps a while ago.
App can be found online though.

Well that just goes to show how much I use the play store. I keep most of my apps locally since I change roms more often than a child being potty trained changes underwear.

AdAway can be safely installed from the F-droid.org repository. AdFree can be downloaded from the developers website with a quick Google search.
If you can't find either, PM me and I'll give you a link to the AdFree APK in my Box account.
Once you have the hosts file in place, you should be able to manually add porn sites that you want to block, if there isn't already an option to block them from the app.

Is Sonic CD available from the Amazon or Google Play store. That way, it will install properly and you will be able to get the latest version. I haven't had problems with apk files installed this way.

Its in the play store. Is there something I have to do besides having the apk like connect to the play store.

If the title relies on Play Store-related DRM at all, then yes, you will need to have the Play Store working and connected for the title to work.

So to side load paid apps the ouya must be rooted. Is that right.
