Play in BG doesn't work for me either, I played a video, pressed home and the audio stopped too. youtube does resume a video where I left off though now which is neat. Or is audio in BG only for music playback as youtube now has that music feature?
Monument Valley, an hour well spent
Does anyone remember echochrome on the PSP? Similar concept.
New levels are out today for the Amazon version, called Forgotten Shores. You'll need to update the entire app first though.
Decided to buy it, and glad I did. The 8 extra levels did require some extra thinking and some were even mind boggling.
Maps 9.1 adds some new informative features: http://www.androidpolice.com/2014/1...gle-maps-9-1-offers-helpful-tips-destination/
I've got it through the Amazon app store, yet I can't install the update. It downloads and prompts to install, but I can't press install. It just does nothing. If I then press cancel it goes back to the app store and hangs
Edit. Its worse than that, I can't install anything that has permissions that need approving!

After doing a little research, it appears that background playback is a feature only to those that are subscribed to Music Key, Google's streaming music subscription service, which is currently in beta. Music Key and All Access (which I have) go hand in hand, all Access subscribers will have Music Key access.
I also have the ability to save videos for offline playback

Do you use a screen dimmer or anything else that interacts with it? If so, disable itI've got it through the Amazon app store, yet I can't install the update.

+1, costs but it's well worth the money.
This is the best theme to go with it: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ikorolkov.poweramp.skins.ics
This is also the best Wear app that gives you total control over it with your watch if you have one: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.nefastudio.android.nfpoweramp_wear
Yep, Lux. Disabled it and installed fine.
But then nommed my battery in half a day as the default brightness on the N5 is stupid high
I loved rocket player, until I switched over to Spotify for all my music.
Those with the new MX Player update will want to update their custom codec for audio if you want to continue playing back DTS/AC3 streams in videos:

How did you change the tab colour at the top? Is that a Prime feature?
