Confirmed Working Apps

[androidblind]

So far: (installed by sideloading backed up apks from my phone via Dropbox)

Evernote: Yes (and it looks amazing)
Elixir: Sideways, crashes (kind of)
Rage Faces: Yes (but the comics need to be dragged with the "mouse" - arrow keys don't do it)

edit: a few more:

Facebook: Yes
Total Commander: Yes
Redditmag: Yes (although the OK button doesn't open the image, and the image itself is small).
Doggcatcher: Yes (apparently in tablet mode)
SPB Shell: No way (I had to try)
APRS Viewer: Yes (The map wasn't full screen though)
Aix Weather widget: Yes (Perfectly, and looks great on the TV)

I did notice in a few of these apps that I couldn't see the text I was typing in some pop-up boxes.

I also was able to load Plex, everything worked except for the streaming of a video.

There are reports elsewhere that Plex will work properly if you are connected over WiFi, but that video will not stream if the GTV is connected via Ethernet. How is your GTV set up?

Negative. You have to be connected via Wifi for Plex to even see the Plex server. Under ethernet, it doesn't sense a network connection.

Once you connect to the server, files won't play. Not sure exactly what's going on. The Plex logs look like transcoding starts, and then it just abandon's the process.

Yeah I listed that over in the known issues thread. Black on black text is a bug it appears across this build. Has to do with the framework-res.apk and it not having the right pngs or settings in the xml. I'm sure it will be fixed in a later build.

Ad free Android = YES ..installs and works but reverts to sideways on your tv.

Also the Sugarsync apk works...for those of us who use it as an alternative to dropbox....It give you 5gb of free storage as opposed to 2gb

These work as well:

Better Terminal Pro - http://i.imgur.com/FhRIah.jpg

How did you get BTP to work? Mine kept force closing before the terminal was launched.

Have to download the paid version from the market. I figured it was a good buy, I tried a bunch of other versions prior to paying for it, none of which worked.

It only FC's after closing the app when you are done, not a big deal.

Oh okay, I just happened to stumble on it when just searching terminal emulator.apk because terminal emulator was free and I accidentally downloaded that one and it's apparently a good terminal. Was disappointed to see it wasn't working for me. Good to know it actually works from the legit marketplace.

N64oid Works..but force closes when trying to open up a ROM..Maybe we can work on this. Haven't tried any other emulators yet but I'm gonna try.

I noticed this with Snesoid as well. Would it be useful to grab the error from logcat you think?

By the way this is the error:

Thanks!!!
That was the case

hey!!
In my case google music is all the time saying: Music Library is empty
How did you manage to solve this

Check your notifications - it's probably asking for permission to access your account...

[tcblues]

it is boring to try apps out doing all the process... you know downloading in the phone->usb->pc->dropbox->gtv and ... just to see that it is not working many times... is there any way to download an apk directly from browser??
