Hello, I'm thinking of buying a tablet off FocalPrice for $73 and there are two different models I'm thinking of;
B700 7" Android 4.1.1 or GD IPPO M7 7" Android 4.2.2
Now my questions are;
1) If I try the Google store to download apps and the tablet is not compatable, can you please post the link I need to Root it?
2) Do I need to Root it to allow me to download and install apps on my own?
Thank you

No (unless the app needs root, of course).

I'm confused So if I want to get an app/game on my tablet that I download, how do I do it?
Ok, well instead of rooting, do you guys have a list of some good Third Party App stors that I can download from and then Sideload them to my tablet?

1) If the tablet is not compatible with an App, you can download the.apk file from any other source and run it to the point that your device is capable of doing so. For instance, Play Store displayed Whatsapp as incompatible on a Samsung Galaxy Star. I downloaded the .apk from the Whatsapp website and installed it and its working fine.
2) No, you dont need to root to install apps of your own, you just need to enable installing .apk's other than those from play store from the Android Settings. However, there are some apps that will require Root to function, but these apps are usually advanced functions.

You only need to download the apk file, copy to your device (internal or external memory, it doesn't mater) and install it using any file explorer (surely your device will come with a file explorer preinstalled). That's it.
The best deivce you have listed from them is the 2nd one due to the fact that it is running the latest version of android. You don't need root to install most apps and games but you might sometimes come across apps that need root to do specific tasks.
Thanks guys.
I did order the GD IPPO M7 7" Android 4.2.2, got it yesterday and is Google Play compatible
Now maybe I should open a new thread but had a question about 3DVplayer.
My tablet says it supports screen scale adjustment between 4:3 & 16:9 and 2D & 3D but when I play a 3D movie I just get the two screens side by side. Is there a trick in getting 3D to work properly?
Thanks
I have the same exact tablet. All was working fine until today, when the word "DEMO" appeared in bright red in the bottom left hand corner of the screen. Went into recovery mode and did a factory reset, but it is still there. Anyone know how to get rid of it?

Had it less than a month. Actually ordered two, only one has the problem with DEMO in the corner. Don't think it has Bluetooth. Contacted the seller about my issue, so hopefully will get it addressed.

I don't know about yours but I also bought a Chinese tablet. The specs stated that Bluetooth N/A and there were no Bluetooth settings in the settings but I downloaded a Bluetooth File Transfer software from Play and was shocked to find out that my tab actually had Bluetooth! I could transfer files but haven't checked a headset. I can turn it on from any Bluetooth switch widget
My wife gave me a Fitbit for Christmas (Apparently, she wants me to get off my butt more and move around!)
The Fitbit is a small wearable device that measures your activity level, etc. The Fitbit app uses Bluetooth 4.0 to sync with the device. The sync function is working with my Samsung Galaxy S3 phone, which is setup with a custom ROM. The app does not sync on the G Pad using stock firmware.
According to the specs I see, the G Pad is supposed to have support for BT 4.0. I don't have any other devices that use it.
Does anybody here have a Fitbit device? I'm curious to know if anybody has tried to sync one on a G Pad with different firmware. Or on a GPE device. It might be that it would work on a 4.3 or 4.4 ROM.
I have a GPE and the app syncs fine with my Flex. I did, however, participate in the Fitbit beta program when they were testing for devices other than the Galaxy series (namely Nexus and Motorola devices with BT 4.0). My Fitbit app is version 1.8.4 if that helps. Here's the link to the beta program: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1ZVjMd9JsDyo45g7uUV60clx7D780ouDka-wgNwvqxmA/viewform
Yes, I was playing with my new fitbit all day yesterday and unless you have one of their devices that is currently known to be compatible you have to be signed up for the Beta program. I am currently running android 4.4 with the cyanogenmod.
I signed up for the Beta by joining the google group here: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/fitbit-android-sync-beta
Which allows you to go to: https://play.google.com/apps/testing/com.fitbit.FitbitMobile
Where you click become a tester. You then need to uninstall the fitbit app, clear the cache for the google play store (I used Clean Master to do this), and reinstall the fitbit app. You will now have the beta version of the app and when you login it will automatically find and start syncing to your fitbit. Note that by default the background syncing is turned off. If you want to be able to do this you have to enable it under devices.
Indeed LG gpad Hardware supports bt4. You need 4.3+ Android for bt4. I tried it with cm and it works.
If you want stock experience, then you have to wait for the Kitkat release.
Forgot to add : I tried it with a polar h7 bt4 heart rate monitor. Works great.
Not necessarily true regarding needing 4.3. They do support the LG G2 which is still on 4.2 stock. Im using it with mine and it syncs fine to the G2. I've never tried syncing to my G Pad tho

Good to know. I might check the fitbit after all.
Unfortunately the polar h7 doesn't want to pair with my Stock LG g2. It is after 4.3 that Android provides platform support to bt4. The solution that LG and Samsung used in the lower api levels apparently doesn't pay nice with all hardware.

Correct. The Fitbit app syncs on my Galaxy S3, which is using a custom rom running Android 4.1.2. That version doesn't support Bluetooth 4.0., so I think they must have it working with Bluetooth 3 on some devices.

I have an LG Lucid 2 running 4.1.2 on a custom rom and while the tech specs say it has bluetooth 4.0 I can't get it to sync. It doesn't even look like the beta version is installing at all but I don't know how to tell for sure.

Looks to me like the app checks to see what device it's installed on and the sync features are only enabled for certain devices. On the G Pad, I can check my my dashboard, etc., but I can't sync or interact with the tracker. On the S3, the app lets me sync and do other things.
I've no way of trying this myself but to you guys who say that you should have support for BT4.0, you could try and trick the device that will not sync. Go into the build.prop and take the ro buildnumber and name and so on and change them to the same of a device that you are certain it works with. If the the Fitbit is checking up against a buildnumber or model number, chances are it's from the build.prop. And could be funny if you could actually trick it just by making your phone into something else. ^^ (That is if BT4 is supported as said.)

That's a really good idea. I have double and triple checked the specs for my phone and it does say Bluetooth 4.0. I think I'll try this since it worked for me tricking QPair into thinking my gpad was a v510. Thanks!

Hmm, trying to edit build.prop on my phone does not seem to be working. Neither ES File Explorer, nor 920 Text Editor, are able to edit/rename/save anything to build.prop or in /system. It says is a read only file system.

Ah, rule number one of flashing KitKat: When done go to play store and get supersu, run it and let it update the binary. Choose normal, not CWM\TWPR. Let it finish the install, takes10 secs or so. Restart and tadaa root. It has to be done on all devices for now. Go into supersu after reboot and find Settings and then untick "Respect CM superuser bleh bleh."
Good luck.

My phone is running a custom 4.1.2 Rom called Lucidian. Would this still apply to that? I have superuser already working on it. And on my gpad running 4.4.2 cm11 I didn't have to do that to get root.

And you have tried build.prop and it worked on your G Pad with CM 11? Funny, I had to do it on two different devices and just assumed I would have to on the G Pad as well. Now 4.1 i don't recall had any root issues, beats me why you can't edit the system on that one. Anyways, sounds like an incomplete root, like what happened in ICS 4.0 on the first Galaxy Note. Gave root but didn't do it for the full system..
I first got this app for my FireTV and loved it. Developer now created an android tv version compatible with nexus player.
It allows you to use your stock remote as a mouse. Root is required on the nexus player.
No brainer for $0.99 as it eliminates the need for a separate bluetooth mouse or trackpad.
IMPORTANT FYI: The mouse function works WITHIN apps but not on the home screen!
Link and author's description:
Mouse Toggle [ROOT]
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.fluxii.android.mousetoggleforandroidtv#hw-item-401
Add a mouse mode to the stock remote control or gamepad for Android TV.
NOTE: ROOT access is REQUIRED for this app to function.
Features:
Works just like a regular mouse that can click, long click, wheel up, wheel down, and drag.
Simple to toggle between regular remote and mouse modes.
Requirements:
1.) Android TV device(see below for supported devices).
2.) Stock / original remote control or game controller.
This actually work surprisingly well and includes an leanback icon, although I kind of wish we could hide things like this from the lean back launcher itself...

I agree with you on the leanback launcher icon. I know there needs to be a way to launch the app, but I hate scrolling through the list of apps when I know I won't be starting it up all the time.
Just tried the app. No go on Android TV 6.0. It kept on saying starting but sat there. Ended up asking for a refund. May try it again later when bugs are worked out.
Sounds cool but I will stick to my Logitech K400 Plus. I'm in and out of chrome on my nexus player anyways. However, this would have been helpful for me with HBO Go when it had to be sideloaded. Now it is available on the app store though so remote works great.

Which method did you use to root your Nexus Player? I have restored the device via the factory images(https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images?hl=en#fugu) and have used both methods(post #1 & #2) in the following link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/supersu/wip-android-6-0-marshmellow-t3219344
I flashed the factory images before each attempt to root and tried each method a couple of times. The app worked great during all 4 tests so hopefully we can discover what is different with your setup.
Thank you
Bought this for my fire tv and it was probably the most useful app ive ever bought for the price. On NP Im really just playing around trying to find a good use for the device. Right now im using android M rom (no leanback UI) and stock remote is useless. DOES this app work with the custom roms?

Still waiting... I finally broke down and forked over the cash for droidmote. Its a good app but doesnt replace a physical remote imho. You want to be able to just feel for the buttons when your watching tv. A phone or tablet isnt the same. Good rom. Itd be great if the remote worked.

Shouldn't be any conflict. The double tap of the play / pause button does have to be pretty quick(~400ms).
I would recommend opening the app and then toggling the enable switch off and then on to see if that helps. Did the SuperSU app prompt you for permission initially?

I did. And just took your advice and toggled on/off. Also rebooted just to see. But its working for you on 6.0? Thats strange. I just get normal remote functionality. Tried it in netflix where its needed but no cursor appears. I do have wifi keyboard attached. Would that cause issues? Doubt it since i quit droidmote and turn off keyboard. Ill keep trouble shooting but never had any issues with your app on aftv (also with wifi keyboard so yea thats not a factor)

Other devices won't cause any conflicts so you are ok there. Just to confirm a couple of items: The Nexus Player is rooted? Was the app granted root access and is it listed in the SuperSU app?
If you want to email me that may be easier.

I just heard from another user that had the same issue. Apparently the Nexus Player remote was somehow displayed as 'Spike' instead of 'Nexus Remote' in the Bluetooth paired device settings. They were able to resolve the issue by un-pairing the remote and pairing it again which correctly identified the remote as 'Nexus Remote'.
Any chance your remote is also named 'Spike'?

No root, if you are running on stock OS you need to sideload the tablet version because (at least in my case) the phone app won't show the remote button. Performance is very much ok
The FireTV version of the Slingbox player works the best IMHO because it supports full functionality of the Shield remotes and does not require use of the virtual remote the way that the Phone and Tablet apps do. My guess is because it was designed for a non-touch screen interface. It can be tricky to acquire but I side-loaded that apk and it works great at home and in the car. Just a suggestion!

Ya same question...i tried to run the firetv apk pulled straight from the unit...would not start.
OMG i take it back...i guess something changed in the Nvidia shield code or on the back end of the app because i installed the version of slingplayer for firetv i have and it worked! loaded up just fine.
Have to do more testing but very nice stuff!
Anyone got a link to the Slingbox apk please?
Here are 3 versions, I have one that is untouched, one that has the amazon dependency removed, and one that has the amazon dependency removed and leanback code added. I still can't figure out what isn't loading properly at launch to handle the login process. I think amazon might have a deeper integration blocking the app from fully loading.

none of the attached apks work, anyone else got the Fire TV version working? (who doesn't currently own a fire TV)
I'm also looking for a working version of SlingPlayer for the shield tv. I don't have an amazon fire I tried all the attached apk's and none worked. I'm able to install them all and the versions in first link crash after logging in and trying to watch. The other version by Jerlash says I'm not the owner of the app so can't use it. The tablet version works decently but only with mouse and keyboard and when viewing the remote it only shows the top half of it.
Yeah there hasn't been a solid solution as of yet. The native Fire TV apk crashes after logging in, my hacked versions have this same issue.
Any news on this?
Any news?
this is kinda ridiculous and likely being held back to promote the abysmal Sling TV offering
Just so everyone is aware i got the to install and run on my shield tv but it would not show any video...just crash. it is silly that an android app built from the amazon fire tv that would clearly work on this box is blocked by some hooks in the apk... hope they release an app soon or i may just pickup a cheap fire stick just for sling
Now they removed the ability to cast from my phone to Android TV, I f*cking hate sling!
Has anyone managed to get Android Auto working? I've tried all sorts of USB cables, including the one that came with the phone. I also have an Android Auto Wireless dongle and that doesn't work either.
I am hoping I don't have any issue when my arrives. Did you get it to work at all for any amount of time?
I use Android Auto all the time, that would be a deal breaker for me!
i was not able to use android auto…
For Android Auto, any solution ? I use Eyeride 2 with my moto and i need it work !!!
Android Auto doesn't seem to be working. I even turned on the USB File Sharing/Android Auto option in the developer menu. When I connect to my car, It says "Communication error 22 - Android Auto didnt come pre-installed with this operating system". Looks like we'll need to wait for the global rom.
