Yes I know, weak CPU and limited RAM. But has anyone attempted to install the Fallout 4 Pip Boy apk on a watch yet? I would LOVE to see a youtube video of it in action.
It might not run on the watch due to limited ram and cpu but its worth trying.. Also interested in hearing from someone who have done this.

Doesn't it use internet? Doing that might FC the app.
I believe it would access the wifi but not the Internet. When connecting to the PC edition, it looks for the PC directly on the network.
I have it running just fine in demo mode. Navigating the map is a pain, but it works. I'm using a Gear 2 with Android Wear mod, so no wifi. Trying to find a way around it...
Yep, link in my signature.
I wanted to make a youtube video, but its really pain in the ass when you don't have a proper camera with a tripod. As you need to hold your phone and your watch and then click stuff on the watch while phone is blocking your view.
It fully works though, I was able to connect it to my game over wifi.

If you install your apk into /system on your watch, it should be able to access internet over bluetooth. However system partition is usually very limited in available space.

6.Is there a native File browser app?
7. Can you make folders on the home screen?
8. Anyone else having problems installing apps from the Market? (Get stuck at installing stage)
and Finally.....

1) Everything but high profile 1080p
2) Gtalk is preinstalled
3) Apps that will not work with the x-large mdpi format will not show up
4) Yes, spare parts works and does
5) I've used bluetooth tether and wifi tether and they both work flawless
6) No, most android phones don't come with a file browser, there are no files to browse usually unless you are looking at the sdcard or in this case the internal memory.
7) Not yet, but there is so much space, go nuts
8) No
9) Nothing announced, but what do you think? We've had 2.2/2.3/3.0/2.4 announced in the last Year and a half...
7. Not natively but I use Simi folder from the market. Works great. I am sure there are others.

I'm sure there'll be a ton of this type of thread, but I glanced around and didn't see anything recent. Here's what I've found that I really like for Tablet use:
Productivity type apps:
QuickPic - it's really a phone photo viewer but it gives a lot better quality pictures than the built-in app.
CNBC Real Time- wow, this is what a tablet app should be! If you trade stocks or watch financial markets, this is a killer app!
USA Today for Tablet - another excellent tablet news app
Tablet Keyboard - $.99 but if you need arrow keys or want a split-screen keyboard for thumb use, it's great. Missing features like auto-cap or auto-complete, so be aware. I use this primarily with ConnectBot for controlling servers because of the arrow keys.
Thinking Space - works rather well as a mindmapping app
AndChat - IRC client. Works well despite being a phone app
Calibre Library - full disclosure: I wrote this. Optimized for Honeycomb, connect to your Calibre desktop app wirelessly, and if you're a real geek even over the Internet if you know how to set up your desktop app right.
ConnectBot - again a phone app, but works well on the tablet.
Other
Asteroid Belt Live Wallpaper - just cool
Games
Gun Bros - Plays well on the tablet.
Dungeon Defenders: FW Deluxe - Designed for Tegra 2
I also tried the CNN tablet app, but it constantly crashes and won't play the videos even though it's designed for Honeycomb.
Thanks for the list, theres some gems in there. CNN app works great on my Iconia btw, havent seen a crash and video is perfect.

I still can't get video, it always tells me video is not available offline, despite the fact my wiress is connected and it just downloaded the list of videos...
Let's see.. Those that have CNN working with videos, are you rooted or not? For me when I had my Xoom, it didnt work either (rooted), If not, i have no idea what the deal is.
CNN app works fine for me and I'm not rooted.
any suggestions for office documetns apps? trying quick office. Any other suggestions?
As stated my CNN app doesn't work - and yes I'm rooted. I usually run "Airplane" mode with wifi enabled (that whole try to stop sucking battery for 3G that I don't have tip,) but I also tried disabling airplane with wifi enabled to no avail.
I did replace my wpa_supplicant file to enable ad-hoc networks.

Might try to download the latest version... the release notes state:
NOTE: "Offline" message that some users are getting while viewing stories is resolved in this build. Thanks for your patience!
As far as file commanders go, I prefer Ghost Commander, its a lot like the Norton Commander of old, two columns.
watch espn
Watch espn is a great tablet app to watch espn as long as you have a certain cable provider watched baseball last night over 4g tether
I'm using Touchdown for Tablets for my work email and calendar, works great, looks great, actually lets me synch my notes and tasks in addition to emails, contacts & appointments.
Love the Kindle app
I haven't used any of the other office apps yet so I can't speak for how they work on Honeycomb

Nope - mine already has that version. Right now, clicking any story that has a video just makes the screen flicker a brief moment and go back to the list of stories. I'll stick with USA Today I guess.
Tried replacing the wpa supplicant file with the original, and it still pulls the offline error. I am rooted and honestly could not give a crap about this app. Just Saying.
Uninstall and disable adblocker reinstall reboot a voila it works. Adblocker is the problem hence the problems exists with rooted users. Again I dont give a crap about this app but hope it helps those who do.
Hi All,
Just hoping someone can answer this for me. I have tried searching XDA and everything.
I have International S7 Edge rooted.
When ever i am trying to watch the live cricket matches from Smartcric.com or Touchcric.com video does not load, i do see the play button and everything but when i click play traffic doesnt move at all and video never gets to load..... HOWEVER when i turn on the wifi it works perfectly fine and no issues at all. Its really frustrating when i am outdoor.
Is there any option i can turn off or something so that i can watch these live streams? Been looking for this answer for ages.
Please help? Thanks a ton in Advance.
Regards,
Ali
I just checked it out, it's working fine both on mobile data and WiFi for me. Is it possible that your phone's ISP deactivated that option or something?
Try with a VPN. There are tons of free VPNs to try in the Play Store. (I wouldn't trust them too much but it should be good for watching videos). If it's working with VPN your ISP is blocking it.
Another option would be tapping the play button on the video and then tap and hold it to download the video. (This works in Chrome, but I guess in other browsers too)
Or try the apps. On smartcric I've seen they have an apk download for their app on their website. Maybe that works better because of a built-in player or something.
Or watch using Kodi.

I was wondering if this was possible. I just need to run an app on VR mode. That is my main requirement, to use PS4 remote play by twisted89 on VR mode to enjoy PS4 games on VR. So if a specific app cannot be turned into vr mode why not the whole device screen? Is that also not possible? I already found an app called Trinus VR, but it requires a PC, so I want this to work only with the mobile itself. Any help would be greatly appreciated

that i think is impossible. since trinus was made for pc mirroring. sorry
I think what his trying to say is and correct me if I'm wrong but, he wants an app that turns any other app into a split-view vr style outcome even if pseudo, which in turn he then wants to run (after activating the previous app that turns stuff into vr mode) the remote play app to play his ps4 games in pseudo vr mode.
I think if an app like this was developed it would need root access to allow cross app vr displayed split-view, as i think it will make the whole display split-view which in turn will make all apps "vr". Not sure if there will be stutter problems on the default launcher but that's easily overcomeable using a vr launcher i assume or just coding it to be disabled on popular launchers.
I know for a fact that the Lenovo K5 does this with stock rom, so... it's possible. Maybe you can buy one?

Exactly what I meant and you just read my mind man, I am trying to play PS4 in VR via the remote play. The best option I came up with so far was Trinus VR, but I want to do this by my phone alone with the remote play app by twisted89.
And yeah, yeah, what all this guy said was what I meant, I need an app to turn on entire mobile screen into VR mode or just the one app I need, thank-you guys :laugh:
Reply please

Search for the SBS apk
It is not possible to turn the screen into SBS mode (side by side). Only thing that exists is native SBS that works on versions 4.4.2 and bellow or some versions of Cm13 with Android 6.0.1.
It will not work on any stock Rom.
I have looked everywhere. Tried everything.
There are apps that can play vr videos and allow sbs web browsing on non vr/cardboard compatible phones.
For videos: VRTV VR is pretty good.
For web browsing: NoMone VR
For anything else, Trinus via pc would be the only option.
Install an emulator on your pc. Install Android on it. Then the apk you want. Mirror your pc to your Android phone. Use VR
A difficult issue, though. As far as I found, those are the basic requirements for playing VR stuff:
2GB + Ram
1080p to 2K Screen resolution
1.4GHz+ CPU speed
Gyroscope (in some cases - not)
At least 4.7 inch display
16M+ colors
Those are basic requirements to play some basic apps. In order to have better FPS performance you will need some more advanced hardware.
Also, if you are interested in VR software development - check my article about best VR/AR SDK which you will need to create apps.
P.S. Found this answer on Quora
Any change?
I used to have a Lenovo ph, and never realized how fortunate I was to have instant vr at the click of a button. For the whole system.! Now I am stuck trying to use cardboard crap app which does a tenth of what I want..
Even just streaming on a browser I'm finding difficult.
I want full screen split no movement. Or anything like a standard split screen on device.
Anyone had any luck?
Hey peeps,
I got a simple question. On my ISP Netflix works great with everything stock but I cant get YouTube to work very good on any device. During the afternoons and into the early evening Youtube is something like 240p or less, and much of the time just zero loading at all. I am on a 40/5 connection (fastest available), with a decent Asus AC68U router. If I try to download files I have the 100% full bandwidth I pay for, so its definitely not the connection. It's more like a crappy ISP routing or intentional throttling.
Here is the issue though, if I connect a VPN such as PIA I can get instant full Youtube at full speeds (so long I connect to the California OR Phoenix VPN servers), but then Netflix is instantly dead. If I disable the VPN Netflix then works great but youtube is instantly at unusable picture quality, like 240p or less (if lucky). The ISP (CenturyLink) will not do anything about it as you just get the typical "Oh really, that is weird, we will send someone out to fix it" but the CL support techs that come out can not fix piss poor YouTube routing issues or intentional throttling, all they can do is fix line quality issues which already seem to be perfect for my DSL needs.
So, my question is, is it possible to launch the YouTube app and have the VPN automatically kick in, but when I leave the YouTube app it instantly goes back to NO VPN? That way Netflix and all my other streaming apps will work, and so will YouTube.
I guess I need an app that will launch both PIA and Youtube at the same time?
Thanks for any ideas... Oh and I have no other ISP available to me, so don't suggest changing ISP's, lol.

What about via Pia settings, per app settings and disable vpn for Netflix?
Hmm good question. I never tried using the Android app for pia because I normally would have used OpenVPN. I don't even see a Android TV app available for the SHIELD. Are you suggesting that the Android pia app will work on my shield TV? I clearly remember pia support telling me that they don't support Android TV so I never bothered trying it. Hmm
I guess I better find an apk and see if I can install it. I was expecting needing some kind of special hack or a special app to do what I want. Thanks for the heads up idea. Will try that right now.
EDIT: I just noticed this in the play store under features of the PIA app. Lol, now I hope the apk actually works.
✔ Per App Settings. Have an app that you want to let bypass the private VPN tunnel? Choose which apps to exclude from the VPN.

Well that actually worked. I was expecting a normal android app to not work that great, and although it is forcing itself into portrait mode it seems to fully function even with giant black bars on the sides. I couldn't get the thing to work by only enabling VPN for the YouTube app, not exactly sure why yet, but it is working if I enable it for all apps, and then disable it for only Netflix.
And sure enough YouTube is maxing out my connection near instantly and all videos start at their maximum res. Why that happens only on VPN I just do not understand. The ONLY thing that makes sense to me is a ON Purpose afternoon Throttle, which CenturyLink publicly claims they do not do. I will monitor this today and for the next few days to make sure this has solved my problem with YouTube streaming. With hundreds of subbed channels YouTube is easily one of my most important channels.
Thanks for the idea. I will report back later if this continued to work through the afternoon.
For black bars, i use "set orientation" app. It force landscape mode all apps.

Well so far this PIA app is working just fine. I was under the impression I would need to use the OpenVPN Connect app, which I am not sure has per app basis. But after some tweaking to the settings it seems to be working.
I was afraid this would mess with my location services and my Google Home mini usage considering that the Home mini asks the SHIELD TV to turn off/on the TV for me. Not sure things like weather were going to continue working proper if I didn't figure out how to use VPN on only one Google app. But it works...
Thanks again
