Methinks the Mirrorcast is not the Grail of which we seek. It would seem that summoning the beast Netflix or Hulu and projecting it into the Circle would require 2 wyfy spells while the Nexus amulet contains only 1. Perhaps a helper spell such as the Blue Tooth or Orange Eye or Yellow Finger would be required. Or the merging of 2 amulets with sticky tape and an Ourouborus would suffice. I must consult the Leenux Grimoire.

Enough of that.
So multiuser will eat storage with multiple instances of the same app.
And Miracast will turn the Nex7s into a console that kids will fight over and destroy.
Do I need to install this update to get the next one?
-
Yes, when the next update comes around, you must be current on the update path.

Ok, here I go.

That's not how I read it.
I thought only 1 instance, but multi data folders so that each user had separate user files.
-
Good to hear.
Success on install or suckseggs as time will tell. Only hurt a little bit.
Thx lucid dreamer for info. & cbers 2 thumbs up.
-
Just added a new account and you have to install apps again, but they're instant, no downloads.
-
Well the 4.2 broke my amazon appstore. No longer memory resident, have to be online and login to amazon to use all payed for apps from there. Uninstalled appstore, reinstalled, rebooted. Waiting for appstore update now. Suckseggs.

LMFAO

Got reply from amazon support, they suggested uninstall, reboot, reinstall. Tried that 4 times already.
Found a thread at xda, it's a known problem to amazon and they're working on it. So they stall and give me the runaround? Not cool. Still suckseggs.
Each log in to appstore creates a new device instance, for a maximum of 25. Have to go delete all these nexus 7s periodically. Pita. Rantover.

On the + side, wifi connects are 3sec instead of 15 and web pages load much faster. Success.

A bit harsh, maybe. 'Support' could be automated A.I. canned response. A bit cheaper than outsourcing to India. I should build a robot to do my job before I'm beaten to it and join the ranks of the once-employed.

2nd email brought actually helpful response. Keywords nexus 7, jb 4.2, cruel and unusual punishment.

Successsss.
-
Nice. Good news.
-
So this is an updated Amazon App store, will it work for UK Amazon Market or just US??

Dunno, try it? Or email amazon support with keywords above and post link if different.
Verify please.
The keywords are to flag the right response if the system is automated. The last keywords are to confuse the system and flag a human if available.
Kind of like NSA's Echelon. Jihad, inshallah.

What is the difference between the Wholesale Jungle app store and the Search Giants app store?
-
FreeAppOfTheDay. Faotd.
Many cheaper android tablets are not google certified cuz they donwanna pay google money.
So a lot of people dont have access to google store until they manually add gapps and modify their build.prop to alias a certified tablet.
Dang, im trying to dumb down my scribblin but it aint workin for me.
Peas out.
-
Cancel;restate: google play is not an option for many tablets. Amazon, 1mobil, applib and other stores fill these user's needs. Migrating to the nexus 7, they have to retain these other store apps in memory to access all the programs they have paid for. To switch to the google server versions would require uninstalling and repurchasing from google play. PITA.
-
Thanks Matt. I checked out your apk and I like the free app thing and the whole different vibe of what I am used to with GP.

I'm not dumb. Just old with a three year olds brain . I follow your posts, I enjoy them. I just break them down sort of like a poem.

Not saying your dumb, but that in trying to be exact I become too complicated, and make people use dictionaries. I was raised east texas cracker, where using words of more than 2 syllables got me whomped on. Until I got big enough to whomp back. Trying to be pancultural.
So I'm the dumb one, actually.
-
I think the number one reason for most people rooting their tablets was to get google play. All the latest apps go there first. There are far more of them to hunt through. I.e. you won't find busybox or superuser on amazon.
The tsr (terminate and stay resident) portion of the appstore is around 30- 70mB , so on old tabs with 512 or 256 mB ram having multiple store apps in memory bogs everything down.
-
I was kidding about the dumb thing obviously.

Nah, you're just pretending. It's a gift to communicate effectively in a few words that are easily comprehended.
On topic: I'm waiting for 4.2.1 to fix the blue tooth stack broken in 4.2
The other fixes can wait, even though in my mind's eye I can see rows of injection molding machines with their hoppers filled with pea sized pellets of pretty plastic and the die molds bolted in place to warm up in an hour's notice and start dropping pogo dock assemblies. Lot of people not working somewhere while the firmware is fixed so that the nex7 will pogo charge at 2 amps instead of 1/2 amp trickle.
And breaking miracast will hopefully not be 7 yrs bad luck.
And google has finally admitted to the domain name resolution bug and are working on it.
And allowing shared data folders between users.
But the blue tooth needs to be an immediate hotfix, the rest can wait a couple of weeks.
And so I remain, rootless. And waiting.

Bluetooth n WiFi is a big $&%king mess.

Yeah, I had my wii remote set up to play a bunch of old dos abandonware games and now it's botched.
I may need to change the portmanteau (2 words mashed together) title.

Been having random reboots lately. It just happened when Titanium was going to do a scheduled backup while I was writing a post. The screen froze and then crashed to the boot loader screen.
-
I saw a reboot on my wife's. Did some research and its a known issue with 4.2. Other devices are having similar issues. Google acknowledged it, so we should see a fix soon.

I've not suffered any reboots since updating to 4.2, probably jinxed myself now though...lol
-
I am also having reboots. I got the 1.2MB update and been happening since then. Anyone have ideas?
-
If you have HD Widgets installed, get rid of it. Seems to be solving most reboot problems per xda posts.
-
Wow really? Yes I do have HD widgets.
