Is it possible to have new and downgraded app at same time? - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I've issue with game, it has servers and one of those servers is upgraded to Beta only so I cant use other servers while on beta upgrade.
i'ts a bit complicated story but shortly i want to have both normal and beta app versions on same mobile.
cloning apps clone the installed version only as far as i know, so i wonder if there's maybe something like partition/creating secondary user on mobile to allow me to download another version?

New Youtube app (v2.0.26)

Coolsmartphone said:
A new version of YouTube has found it's way onto the Android Market and it's a sign that Google are beginning to split out the base OS from the additional apps. Videos will now show up in both portrait and widescreen, although it seems only the Android 2.2 crowd are able to install it at present (I know, I know).
You can browse through categories, you can search, you can upload, you can check your channel and you can switch to high-quality mode even when you're hooked into the mobile network.

Since I couldn't find it in the market I've started searching XDA.
Here's a downloadlink
ONLY ANDROID 2.2
Works fine on CM6.1 nightly build 26
UI is really nice now

I dont think this just came out. Ive had Teamviewer on my Vibrant for a while now.
Edit- I just looked and the one on their site is v.6.0.127, the one I have is v6.0.100, and doesnt have a time limit, and its been working all this time, so Im assuming it wont stop when this one does either.

Beta Testers Needed: Windows Phone XBMC Remote Client

I have been developing a remote control client for Windows Phone for a while now. I am now opening up beta program so that it can be tested heavily. It'd be great to have feedback from the XDA community. Here are a few details and some FAQs about beta testing. If you're absolutely sure that you want to be a tester, jump directly to the bottom of this post.
What should I expect from this beta?
Well, you should expect what you generally expect from beta software. Cutting edge, burning hot software with new features and a few bugs here and there. Specifically, you might run into some memory management issues, but they shouldn't stop you from trying it out.
What do I need to be a beta tester?
Patience and tolerance: You should understand that the app might behave unexpectedly sometimes.
A Windows Phone 8 device: That's where you test the app.
XBMC: You need to have XBMC running somewhere on your network. That's what you're trying to control using this app.
A Microsoft account: You will need to have a Microsoft Id associated with your phone to be a beta tester.
How do I become a beta tester?
Just give me your Microsoft Id here. I won't sell it to anyone. I won't spam either.
How do I report issues?
You may create an issue on Github here.
You may post it on this thread.
You may contact me over the twitter at @akshay4000.
At times Google+ can be a good choice.
Can I contribute to the code?
I'm glad you asked. Here is the Github repo: https://github.com/akshay2000/XBMCRemoteWP. Fork it, fix something, make some commits and make a pull request. I'll be glad to take contributions. Just make sure that the code is pretty.
Again, here is the link if you want to be a beta tester: http://bit.ly/1iW5c3z
Thank you all for the support.
Well, your app crashes and brings me back to the main screen, after adding the IP of my xbmc.

Just pushed an update. Check back in a few hours. That should fix it. Oddly enough, same app worked fine when deployed from my local machine, but crashed when downloaded from marketplace.
So, if this new version crashes, we know that store is messing with it.
Updated your app but it still crashes.

Sorry about that! At this point, you're probably losing the patience, but I've pushed another update. And I'm certain that this will solve it. Please, give it a try. Version should be 1.0.0.2 - the latest one.
Edit: Just checked. The latest version goes without any crash. Can you verify that?
Without a crash but I am not able to connect the app with my xbmc (raspberry pi). With other app I have no problem to connect.

If you have password set up on XBMC, the app might not connect. Update is being pushed out which will fix this. Update the app in a few hours. Sorry for the trouble. Till then you can test the app by disabling the passwords.

Anyone got the Disney+ App running on a device outside of the Netherlands?

Disney+ is on a free trial in the Netherlands right now, so just for fun and curiosity really, I grabbed the APK for the Disney+ app here...
https://apk.support/app/com.disney.disneyplus#per_area
and installed it on my Note 9, and fired up my VPN, connected to the Netherlands and attempted to launch the app.
I guess it must be doing some kind of region check on my phone at launch as it just stops. Visiting the Disney+ app page on the google play store via VPN informs me that the app is incompatible with all my devices even though I have two Nvidia Shields and my Samsung Note 9 as well as a few other android devices - it's definitely running on Shields in the Netherlands as they have been shown on various web sites.
Anyone know of any jiggery pokery we can try to get this thing running on our None-Netherland devices - because we can :silly::silly::silly:
Thanks.

The app you linked isn't complete. It's legit (I checked the SHA-1 hash against an installed, working version of the apk and the one from Google Play are the same).
If you use a VPN provider with an IP based out of the Netherlands & Aurora, you should be able to properly install the app on a rooted device.
SAI (which Aurora uses) allows you to install split/bundled apk or extract complete bundles to archive for later.
You can't login though. The app will give you an error if you try to proceed with signing up or try to enter an existing login. I don't know much more beyond that.

Yeah seems like Disney has their uber A-Game engaged for VPN blocking too - probably why they launched the beta in a smaller market, test the load balancing and the gate-keeping all at once.
get it to work with anything?
Did you check any other server? if its not working then you should go for another option like PureVPN or Cyberghost. They both are working fine.

How to install Disney + using the SAI app.
Hello everyone,
I searched for this but ddidn't find it. So forgive me if I missed it. Here is a link to get Disney + to work on a rooted android device.
https://youtu.be/SOdkuy9dZGs[/url]
There is a link in his description to all the files to download plus the SAI app. It was very easy and I've already watched two episodes of Star Wars Rebels so the app definately works. the Disney + app is split into three pieces then reassembled by SAI.
Good luck!!
?
This worked for me on my rooted Huawei Honor Note 8 !
I had Disney Plus on all my other devices but I could not get it on my rooted Huawei honor note 8 and now it works perfectly!
Thank you ?

Using Old Versions of Android OS?

Hi
What are the problems/ issues of using an old version if the phone is only used for calls/ texting/ email (not GMail)? After rooting a device and removing Bloatware and Google what's the potential issues in using the device? I only use my phone for calling and texting and keeping notes, some photos, few emails. No banking/ shopping apps, no social media. I like having a very basic phone, so most of the upgrades in the UI would probably not be important to me. I plan to upgrade at some point but I need to have a phone with a 4" or smaller display and it's got to be around $50 used.
I have a couple of older Samsungs that are small, which I prefer. One is running 4.4.2, is rooted and is in the process of removing most Google apps ( I have installed the Brave browser but limited data use) and the other is even older running Gingerbread that I plan to re-purpose for a signal generator but might consider using as backup.
New to Android and still learning, so any advice is appreciated.
Thanks
PS. I was planning on moving to Lineage but I managed to buy a Samsung with an unlockable bootloader so just rooted it and started removing stuff I don't need. Seems to be OK for the most part.

Hello,
there might be some downsides, one of them being that your device doesn't have the latest security patches implemented. Another one is that some apps might not work anymore as their minimum API version is higher than your current OS.
Beside this, there are no real downsides of running an older Android version. If you got your device setup according to your needs, then there is no real issue at all in case you don't store any sensitive information (bank account username/password for example, but this applies to all mobile devices in my opinion) on your device.
