[Q] Samsung Link.apk working on Cyanogen Mod 10.1 - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Ok so I am using Cyanogenmod 10.1 nightly builds and have recently bought a Smart TV and want to share my data i.e (Video, Pictures, Music etc)
I am trying to install the Samsung Link software (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.sec.pcw) and its failing to do so. I managed to download the .apk from an alternate source and tried installing it.. That failed too.. Is there no way to get this app working on my phone with Cyanogenmod?
Alternatively anyone who has a smart tv with inbuilt WIFI and Bluetooth is there any other way to connect to the tv? What are the features I will lose if I use these alternate methods of connecting? like WIFI Direct, Bluetooth or Cloud storage!

you could not install samsung stock apps on CM roms as they require framework. that's almost impossible.
-------------------------------------
please let me know if i'm wrong and CLICK thanks if i help

What does that mean? TV out? Do you mean things like screen mirroring, file sharing etc?
Thanks for your quick responses both of you..

Overall must say CyanogenMod is awesome but i simply do not understand why the HDMI connect is not supported and why it never will be. Everyone has SmartTV and everyone eventually will use that feature sooner or later. It's so frustrating. I even installed CyangenMod on my brothers phone recently and he is cursing me because certain apps do not show up in Googles app store. He is a doctor and he needs some of those apps.
For example i have latest nightly installed on my HTC One M7 and i even cannot connect via Wireless Display on my Samsung Smart TV UN55F8000.
I love cyanogen and its update policy is the best but Day by day things i cannot do which become more and more common cannot be done because CyanogenMod won't recognize apps or simply does not work with certain devices. Sooner or later it will become big issue in the future if the list which can't be done will become bigger and the things which can be done will be just like checking the facebook status.
It's just sad.

[Q] Hulu Plus

I get the "not supported on your platform" notification when I try to run the application. I can't view it in Dolphin with a desktop user agent, either.
Do I need a different version of flash? I tried editing the build.prop to look like my Viewsonic GTab (which uses Nexus S/samsung, incidentally), but that didn't help anything.

The version for the tab does not even let me download it, I have tried the remote but it looks wrong and I want the video streaming function as this is one of the main reasons for buying it.
The Smart View-app isn't ready for the tabs yet.
Samsung issued a statement, when they first launched SmartView for the SGSII, that 8.9 and 10.1 tablets will be able to download the app in the late summer.. So just be patience (like me! )
I tried a downloadable .apk version on my 10.1 in combination with the d8000...
The remote function works, but when trying to switch to watch tv it crashes.
Then i found a ported version, which should work on more android devices.
That compatibility i can't check, but still the same crash on the 10.1...
i thought Samsung said they would put it on the 10.1 and 9.8 by default...
One of the main reasons, for bying it...

Have you even bothered to read my post right before yours?
Samsung never said it would be on the tab from the get-go.. They promised to release it "after the summer".. And seeing how vague that statement is (doesn't even tell if they mean summer in Miami, Stockholm, Capetown or Sidney), it's pretty safe to say that they're still in keeping with their promise..

Hi,
I want to try the Smart View-Tab version on my Galaxy Note because the non-Tab version has low resolution.
Can any Tab owner share the new version of the Smart View-Tab app here ?
the apk please...
Also we have a discussion about this on the Note section:

can you check if it's not corrupted while uploading ?
package corrupt
Downloaded and installed here without any problems...
I've got a Samsung 5700 .. doesn't work though (even though I can activate network remote in my TV menu...) Anyone any ideas? What does my TV mean by Network Remote then?!
any news ?
can anyone else upload the Tab app from their Tab 10 ?
Did you try in the market? Both Samsung remote apps (tablet/non tablet version) show there?
"Samsung" as the query?
They don't list the "Tab" version to the Galaxy Note.
Don't know if this is what you are looking for, I use it to control my 7000 series Samsung LED on my Tab 10.1. For some reason I don't get the dual view as an option but I have read others are having the same issue. Works fine for me, full screen, as the other one is really small when it loads.

Soniq 32" Smart TV android 2.2.1

Hi All,
I picked up a Soniq 32" Lcd last weekend and it runs android. I have been trying unsuccessfully to root this device. There is no usb debugging option so I am unable to use Z4 or alike.
I also have been trying to get the official maketplace installed by it keeps crashing.... anyone had any experience with these??
Thanks
BEn
Maybe try apps like this one:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...EsImNvbS5icmlhbmYyMS5udGhpZGRlbnNldHRpbmdzIl0.
To enable the hidden usb debuggin?
APK
Any Idea how to get the APK file?
Developer has it on his blog:
http://brianf21.blogspot.ca/
advancedservers, haven't worked out how to get the market on the soniq yet, but I found a way to install apps, just drop them onto a flash drive and then install them through the file manager in all apps. hope this helps.
Has anyone successfully rooted this android TV?
I have a Soniq E55V13A with Android 4.2.1
I know a few people have had trouble getting the TV Launcher on to it which skips the annoying cinavision front page and goes straight to TV.
The proper Soniq TV Launcher that you want is not in the Google play store as far as I can tell even though it is freely available in the Soniq cinavision market.
Here is the apk backed up from mine if you're having trouble getting it.
You can put it on a usb drive and install it from there.

Bumping an old thread
Hi All,
I have the Soniq S55V14B-AU Running the original Android Firmware (Not sure how to find this). By now I am sure there would be a way to root this device and rid it of the cancer that is Cinavision. Can anyone help me? I don't have much cash to buy an up to date smart TV and considering this is running Android I am sure there would be a way by now to remove the trash and actually get Netflix on it.
Hope someone can help.
I gave up trying to update. I don't think Soniq ever released a decent update and even their website for updates is broken.
I vaguely remember being able install some apks via usb, maybe even root, but I doubt you will ever find an open source version of android built for your model.
Your best bet would be to get a Chromecast/Fire Stick/Roku etc. and use all the streaming features from there through HDMI. In fact you should definitely not connect the TV to the internet. It's so full of security holes that I've seen a report from at least one user who had ransomware take over his Soniq TV.

[Q] New to Android - few questions

Hi,
so far I have been using iOS devices and they pretty much do what I need, even without jailbrake.
Unfortunately iPhone has a small screen and the new one I don't really like (plus it is quite expensive).
I am looking at WP but it also has few down sides (for me) despite of system itself looking great!
So,, here we come to SGSIII and few questions.
On my iPad I use VPN and got myself apps from UK and US store without problem. Now I can enjoy the likes of BBC iPlayer and Netflix.
If I'll get SGSIII will I be able to do the same?
I was told SGS III has locked bootloader and I will need access to this if I want to root this phone in order to download apps (like Netflix) from Internet , not from Google Play which in Poland will not have them available.
If SGSIII (which wen down in price a bit) will not do what I need - what else (with approx 4,5" screen) should I look at?

Does it mean that I will have no problem making VPN and Netflix work on this device?
And installing Netflix app (which in polish Play is not available).
You shouldn't have any problems running netflix if you root your device all your doing is getting superuser permission. If u flash a custom Rom you may have some problems then like I flashed paranoid android v2.13 and can't use the tvcatchup anymore still looking for a fixed!
Don't hold me to it I'm just going by my experience lol root didn't change anything service wise only the rom did.
No... custom roms is not my thing - i did not even needed to jailbrake my ipad so far. As long as I can get vpn up and apps like iPlayer and netflix all the rest is enough for me - all I need is browser, mail client, access to skydrive and MS services - and I am happy.
So I can get European SGSIII and should have no problem in getting the entertainment soft working on it?
TVCatchup blocks all VPNs
Just found something called Market Enabler - will that work for me to get those app from different markets...?
Yes market enabler allows you to find and download apps that are not available in your country.

Xiaomi Laser projector

Hi, I have recently purchased a Xiaomi laser projector. I like it a lot. It has the same menu as Chinese version of xiaomi mi box. The problem is that the projectors menu is in Chinese as well. I have made a little review on the menu here https://youtu.be/yPDoM2FYekE but I really want android 7, or at least 6 but a European version. Does anyone here knows someone who participates in building these roms so I can ask them??
you can install an English setup app
I am interested in buying this projector too, I saw an YouTube video saying there was a software that you can install to alter the setup setting so that there are in English. If you have not already seen them, I may try to play around with the android version however it may just be easier to attach it to another box such as the android shield TV and use it that way instead of killing yourself with Chinese apps and trying to upgrade Android.
It's pretty easy to change to English and install any app you want. I installed YouTube but you can't sign into an account due to no Google services pre installed. It's super responsive and great picture quality. It would be awesome if someone has a chance to make a rom for it or work out a way to get the play store and a launcher to run on it
I have exactly the same problem.
Although you can install an app to change the language to English, 95% of the ROM is still in Chinese.
This device is not even listed in XDA-developers long list of devices. I am not sure how many developers will spend 1500+$ to buy, develop and test roms on this projector.
It would be great to have an international ROM based on Android TV similar to the Mi Android Box.
Meanwhile, I connect my chromecast to the projector and it works just fine. Of course, this means that I am not using any of the "Smart" functionalities of the device.
hey if someone found an answer I would really love to know too. Got some english which is fine, but the miui tv version 1.3.63 on android 6.0.1 is a pain to have. Bloat ware apps everywhere that just reappear on uninstall.
Also no playstore is an issue. The netflix I have is not really fitted to screen size and also remote does not reach certain parts. so its cut off.
I dare not meddle with it at the moment, becasue I think the software can maybe root and do something about it? But what about the hdmi and av inputs. I am just worried if i meddle with it, I lose these inputs.
HELP if someone found an answer I would really love to know too. The miui tv version 1.3.63 on android 6.0.1 is dead the playstore not work in this version. HELP

You could try aptoide tv which is a play store alternative , you may need to side load it.
Unfortunately I do not have this device to try and create a ROM and I have never created one.
I get the impression its not that hard, I would just make a backup of the exiting Android should things go bad and then try Lineage OS which you can download for free. If I am not being clear I am talking about using a custom ROM with the latest Android Lineage OS.. I did this on an old Kindle tablet and had no issue. Well maybe I am not being completely truthful my first attempt at flashing I almost bricked the device, it took at lot of nerve and patience to make it work. Here a link below with more details on Flashing as I am not talking about an old man in a long rain coat.

Hello everyone!
The 12 september xiaomi will release a version of the mi laser projector for eu with oreo 8.0 and android tv, i have the projector in chinese version, are there any chance to bring the update on my device? At least it would be a simple flash of a oreo rom, or not?
Hi!
I also have Chinese version and would love to install the firmware for EU.
Normally the update should work via the USB with downloaded FW. So if Xiaomi publish the update we can give it a try. The question is whether the FW will check the region or any other thing before installation?
In the meantime, is there any manual how to make a backup or rooting via the Android Development on PC?
Hi,
I have the Chinese version with just a little bit English settings I would love to have the eu rom
what would be needed that someone can help us to get the EU-Rom on the China- Version?

There may be some hope for your request as on Oct 06, 2018 a user @servo386 was able to use abd and TWRP (loaded but not installed) to make a Nandroid copy of his v01 ROM (Chinese version). A few users have encouraged him to post on XDA. He is currently refining the process and trying to install Magisk for full root.
You need to be aware that the Android Oreo full English ROM, for this projector, has some draw backs. One of the biggest is that Xiaomi Oreo likely did a rush software job as they have dropped some very important projector specific settings/functionality. Primary to a lot of users is that 3D is no longer an option and that color correction controls are lacking between the two ROMS. On the other hand you do get working Google Playstore integration.
Also despite the recent success of @servo386 no TWRP nandroid backup of the Oreo version currently exists nor has the method used by @servo386 been tried by a Oreo Mi PJ owner. It's still encouraging news though.
All right, you can see the european version test here : http://www.passionhomecinema.fr/blo...iaomi-dlp-version-francaise-lavis-de-gregory/

Just in case it might be useful, here's an app I made to access engineering menu.
I have this projector and I wasn't able to install Google Services on it. I tried very many versions. Currently Im using it with Chromecast connected to its HDMI port. But I would love to see some custom ROM for it.
Android 8 Dolby/DTS
My international Projector has Android 8. I have problems with DTS and Dolby on the AVR. Here only stereo arrives. Whether Netflix, Plex, Media Server ... Sometimes restarts help. With another Android TV box directly on the AVR it works flawlessly. That is very disappointing.

Here is a more active forum with many owners of this projector both the V1 and V2 (international) models. You are likely to have better luck with that forum's thread. This one is more oriented to modding the projector's OS than Home Theater related experiences such as your describing. At the very least the owners can tell you if they have similar experiences or not.
