YouTube For TV works rather well on Fire TV.

Safesearch is stuck on stupid moderate.

How the hell do I change the safesearch setting on Fire TV so I can disable it?

No,I don't want it disabled for pourunz,just violent games and videos that happen to contain swearing.

Yeah, I can confirm that after installing Google Services and the Play Store, YouTube for TV does let you log in.

Also, regular YouTube app works as well but you need a mouse to select a video.

After installing Rotate Screen Orientation I was able to use the privateinternetaccess app, but it does not work, I hit Connect and nothing happens.

Using adb logcat I can see that the app logs: Your image does not support the VPNService API, sorry :(

So far I could not use any VPN app, even with root, because lacking of VPNService API.

Also the new version of DramaFever requires this.
[Fire TV General] meadtj:
Yeah i realized later, I ctrl'd + f and didn't find it, i musta typoed or something. Drama Fever is there too but the new version requires it. I think for the screen orientation though it is very important. Maybe you should put it as a bold point above all of the apps because its needed often.

Slingplayer for tablets 3.4.1

I was able to get Slingplayer for tablets 3.4.1 working with sound and video. Had to install the Play store (per the rooting thread); but I couldn't download the app because of it being "incompatible". I tried to use Market Helper to trick it into letting me download but no luck there. Used Bluestacks to download a copy of the apk and sideloaded the apk. Requires a keyboard and mouse to browse.

VLC

- VLC for Android - Working perfectly. Remote buttons work and I tested a 1080p video (with dts 4.1 audio) file and it played perfectly.

I tried the VLC for Android™ is in beta stage. The current version is 0.9.5 from this (http://www.videolan.org/vlc/download-android.html) site. Is this the same as the one officially noted as working? I am not able to navigate to any settings when VLC starts up. I see the settings on the screen initially with inability to do anything and they disappear from the screen. The menu button does not work as well. Can someone please direct me to the correct APK?

Two apps.

Kernel Tuner works,but can't overclock the GPU,yet.

I changed the bit depth from 24bit to 32bit,but I don't know how to tell the difference or if it even worked.

The second app is Smart Memory Booster from DroidMate.

It works!

I don't know how the widget is actually working since other widgets don't do jack-sh**.

I set my ignore list and hit boost on aggressive and my RAM went from 500MB to 1.0GB!

If you have a device and have root access to it and a windows share point, you can copy the apk file easily by using ES Explorer. 1st select lan in the ES app and press add to map a windows share point. Then go to /data/app on your rooted android device and use a long press to select the file then select copy and then return to the share point location and paste it. after it is set up testing apps from supported devices is another route to getting apk files.

1channel App doesnt even open, when i open it the screen remains black and then goes back to the launcher.

DjLobo App works fine with a mouse, the controls on the remote doesn't work.

I Tried Ice Stream, to stream videos (Movies and Tv Shows) from Icefilms . Info, the app opens ok, and I can surf on the contents and every thing goes ok, but when I try to play a video, it just says error... I think I need to install a media player (mplayer or another one) that they say is needed to open the stream... I'll check that later and I'll post my results...

EDIT:

Tried Ice Stream one more time after installing MoboPlayer and it was the same error. After a little research now i know that the problem comes because the app is not longer working on any device, the developer stopped updating this app. If you want to stream movies from Ice Films I suggest to install XBMC and then install the IceFilms add-on, also you can install the 1Channel add on.

Hope it helps.

Showtime - can't take credit for this (already mentioned somewhere) but for DirectTV subscribers download the apk from Google play and you can login. Need mouse but shows up on home menu

Lifetime - works with mouse and cable subscription

USA - works with mouse and cable subscription

NBCSN - works with mouse and cable subscription

SKYGO - does not work - get to login screen but 'device not comparable'

4OD - does not work, got some sort of error

There's a version exclusively for Fire TV?

I guess that is because Amazon's Fire TV is centered around interests of gaming,despite the terrible lack of storage space.

[Moto E General] phanitej:
Maybe a noob question but want to know how different is the mfastboot.exe from the normal fastboot commands?

Edit: I checked with the files in the directory linked for mfastboot and found the files are from android sdk. correct me if im wrong. Thanks in advance
[Moto E General] shimp208:
What mfastboot is basically a set of extended commands for normal fastboot, what Motorola has done is taken the fastboot protocol that is integrated into the bootloader code and added additional features and operations to fit with how there devices partition schemes are laid out and how they have designed the devices. In summary think of it as fastboot from the Android Open Source Project (Which is what is found in the Android SDK) with extra features for Motorola devices. The files in the directory you saw do come from the Android SDK however mfastboot and fastboot included in the Android SDK are not the same, mfasboot and the files from the Android SDK were bundled together for the convenience of downloading them. Let me know if you still have question's I'll be happy to answer them.
[Moto E General] phanitej:
Thanks for the explanation :)

The reason why i wanted to know is, i use lubuntu and don have any windows PC i cud use. Was able to root and flash the device using fastboot, so in case i wish to lock it back, dint want to go through the hassle of searching for a windows PC

4. Reboot, enjoy!

[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] screamer2703:
I am using the Waze app when driving and I always notice that the battery level starts to decrease over time even though the phone is connected to a 2.1A car charger.

Therefore, I decided to connect an amp meter to the charger and measure the current draw:

2.1A car charger - USB input - current draw: 0.8A to 1A with the screen on and Waze running with GPS on

1.5A Sony mains charger - USB input - current draw same as above

This means that the phone does not draw enough current to keep the battery charged. OS problem ?

I tested even the dock charger and I got a very different result:

1.8A dock charger - Dock charger side pads - current draw 1.4A with the screen on.

Why the sudden increase in current when using the dock charger ? Is there a fast charge mode for the Xperia Z ?

Please allow me to rephrase the question....is root for nc4 for us who took the ota update without ever being rooted ever going to be available given the fact that most users already have a rooted device before being on nc4? Is *anyone* even working on it at all? or should we just give up all hope and not even bother given the fact that it is only a handful of us w/o root on nc4 that for whatever reason we took the plunge knowing the consequences of possibly not having root for a while if ever at all?

That appears to be a bounty for the S5 root... Is there an official bounty for the Note 3 NC4 root?

Are are the two very closely related? (as in, if there was a root method for the S5, then could we expect a root method for the Note 3 to quickly follow? If so, then maybe a bounty for the Note 3 wouldn't be necessary)

The phone with the RUU containing the baseband of 1.15 gets download speed of 2-4mbps

They both have the exact same Rom...(android revolution)

But for some reason the new phone will not recognize the old RUU in fast boot...

Why does the new radio suck so bad?

Anyone else suffer from slower data from the radio update? :banghead:

I removed the extra "zip" that Windows adds to the RUU for name. So file name is "PH85IMG"

The 1.14 radio I'd still the champ.

I am getting over 7mbps... Still very respectable....

The only variable difference was the baseband 1.14 instead of 1.15...

Since then whenever i make phone calls or people call me i cannot hear them and they cannot hear me. If i reboot the phone it works right away OK! but after that throughout the day it is problem again.

Now i have rooted my phone and put a custom rom on... Guess what? same problem.
