Now that Google officially released Music 606, I wanted to install Q support on my wife's phone.
It's a T-Mobile G2x running Android 2.3.4.
When using RootExplorer (it's not rooted, but thats file file manager I have) to install the APK, it says:
"Parse error. There is a problem parsing the package".

Any ideas?

That apk probably calls for JellyBean in the manifest just like the Nexus Q one did. Someone would need to change it and see if it will install properly then, if I have some time later I may give it a try.

Hi, bobukcat - great to see that you have the Nexus Q app working on your ICS device - could you share how you did this?

Did you grab the APK from a JB device and somehow change the AndroidManifest.xml to < 16 and then repackage, sign, & zipalign to an apk via Eclipse, command-line or some other tools?

I have a Xoom (stingray) with ICS 4.0.4 as well as the Google Play app v 4.3.606.

On Edit
As it always happens, once I post/ask a question, I got around to figuring it out myself - I modified the minSdkVersion and targetSdkVersion to 15 (from 16) and installed on my Xoom/ICS - works great

Steps
0. I had the android sdk on my laptop and the android platform tools in my path (I'm on Win x64)
1. I grabbed the apk from a 4.1 device (adb pull path_to_nexusq.apk
2. using apktool, I expanded the apk
3. using a text editor (I like sublime text2), I changed the relevant values in the AndroidManifest.xml
4. repackaged using apk
5. signed with the android debug key (the repackaged apk needs to be signed to be installed)
6. installed by adb install

I misread your post when I replied and thought you were having problems installing the Music app version 606. When I modified the manifest in the nexusq.apk I only changed it back to SDK version 15 (ICS) so it won't install on anything older than ICS (4.0). If I have time tomorrow I can try to change it to 13 (I think that's GB but I will double check) and rebuild, zipalign and sign it again and see if it works on my OG Droid that's collecting dust on the corner of my desk. Seeing as how the Q is supposed to start shipping in the next week though I really expect Goog to drop a new version with support for the older versions onto the Play Store.

It's all gone! Google update it and I tested running on a 2.3.5 device with no problem!

Thanks bud. This worked perfectly on my Nexus 7. I have yet to try on my Galaxy Nexus.

Most appreciated.

Can anyone upload the .apk for the current official version of the Nexus Q app?

I got a Nexus Q today to play around with. Strangely it was in original sealed packaging, but was already set to french and configured by somebody else. Hard reset made it work.

Since I'm in Austria I cannot download the app from play store. Can somebody upload the .apk?

Thanks!

Here's the Nexus Q Apk from my Razr MAXX HD running 4.2.1.

Thanks!
