Can anyone here try to install trial version of pocketdos from here http://www.pocketdos.com
I'd like to know if that works at all on s740 so then I can keep trying to search for reason why it fails to start up on my phone.
I'm only asking here because we have here high concentration of s740 users around and because original developer seems to be not answering to me on his official forum.
So symptoms are: It can be installed just fine, but when I start app nothing happens. In task manager it shows up on "processes" list, but it does not appear in applications list

First I will say that I found this forum from a thread on Esato and since I have an Xperia X10 Mini Pro with Android 2.1, and saw that this was a professional place, I signed up. Hope some can help a girl out.
I am a newbie when it comes to "all that tech stuff" with cellphones, but I learn fast. I've just recently started to use internet on my phone, and well, some problems occured when trying to download some apps from the android market.
For some odd reason I can't seem to access the android market at all with my gmail/google-account. I think I do it right, I have WiFi on and I put in my gmail-account/google-account, but everytime I get a "can't access market", or "turn WiFi on". But WiFi is on!
What can the problem be?
I've used the "Android Injector" instead and downloaded apk-files from an android software applications site onto my phone memory via the USB-cable. (I can't use the "Android Injector" anymore, as malwarebytes deleted it because apparently it was some malware attached to it).
My phone memory is close to being full (I have 66 mb left), so how can I download future (or already existing) apps to the SDcard?
I've heard that you could install a custom ROM, but I have no idea how to do that. I don't know how to root the phone either. ?
And then, I downloaded an app called "Viber" from an android software applicaions site. I didn't find it useful and uninstalled it, but when I read some newspapers online (World Newspapers app), it came back as a shortcut on my phone. What is this?
Relax!!
Take your time and visit different threads.
We all were noob once and me still is! We have to devote some time reading various forums and section before our doubt gets clear!

I do have to say I now have access to gmail and android market, thanks to some link I found on G-Apps Masters. I went in via youtube. Yay!
I write three threads into one so that moderators can not say that I want to earn easy 10 threads.
First:
It really interests me, what is gained with rooting?
I do not need an explanation of how it's done, but what really do for a phone.
I am new at this, before I had a Nokia N900, so this is my first encounter with Android.
Second:
Is there an application for Samsung Galaxy S3 like the iPhone Cydia for iOS, where we can download applications?
Third:
For those who have encountered the problem like me. I turned off the S-voice and I lost the icon of the application.
I have unsuccessfully sought a solution.
Finally, I have solved the problem in a way that first I had to go to TASK MANAGER after which I choose ALL APPLICATIONS and that at the bottom of the list there are deactivated applications.
Had to change from DEACTIVATED to ACTIVATE and that returned the application icon and the application.
Fourth:
I installed Firefox 14 over Google Play, but it doesn't load any webpage. Properly installed, it start up, but does not open any webpage. Opera, Chrome work properly. Has anyone an idea why not?
Thank you
OK, I know there are loads of threads about specific apps with the dreaded "your device isn't compatible" message, but this is a much more general question - hence posting here.
But first, some history. I had a battle to get the Samsung Gear app installed - the main app gave this message for ALL my devices. I sideloaded it from apk mirror and all was fine.
but I then had to install the Gear Fit Plugin, whilst sideloading OK , failed to run as it detected my KNOX had been tripped - changing build_prop to say phone was an HTC resolved this.
That got me thinking. What EXACTLY is failing - there used to be a way to find out what it was (see here) but that no longer seems to work.
Is there another way?
But I started thinking more, what EXACTLY does Google store about your phone? What flags can developers set when publishing apps to limit the use? Everything is hackable, but I would need to know where to start
many thanks

Hi all,
So here's the situation: I have a Pixel 1 with stock (read: overbloated verizon) android. Whatever, I'm lazy and I haven't gotten around to rooting it. I installed a firewall recently for giggles. I'm going through the system apps and merrily blocking verizon junkware when I come across this thing (bear with me for the complete description, as XDA's spam filters are blocking my image links)
It's a system process called 'nobody' with a version number of 10. The Netguard app also gives a number above the name (i don't know what it's supposed to mean) that for most apps seems sort of random, but for this app is 9999.
I try to find this thing in my system app manager, and it's nowhere to be found.
So I keep on keeping on, thinking 'weird, but whatever', and then I come across another app called 'root' with a version number of 10 and (maybe it's a process id?) of 0.
Also, nowhere to be found.
And here's the thing; there's a gear icon in Netguard, that for _every other app_, opens up the system app manager page for that app. For these two? Nothing.
Now, I am not super proficient in android stuffs. My questions for you smart and pretty people are these:
1. How can I go about digging around in my phone to find the files that are running this thing?
2. What's the best way to get more information on what this is? (and yeah, I tried googling 'nobody' and 'root'. It went predictably).
3. How can I prepare a report / who would I send this to? There's gotta be security researchers who could use logs pertaining to this ****.
Yeah, I know that I need to nuke & pave the device. I will. I want to try and recon a little first. So, what do you got?
Hello everyone in the XDA Developers community, how are you? I hope that very good.
I come to you because I am desperate with my phone; Since they gave it to me (yes, this phone is a gift) about 3 or 4 months ago (it is a phone from the Sky Devices brand, more specifically the Sky Devices Platinum 5.0M) I had not noticed anything strange, until a couple of weeks After checking my applications in the phone settings, I noticed a very strange app, which calls itself “App Settings”, it seemed strange to me, but I uninstalled it without further ado, but after a while I check the apps and I realize that the app reappeared without prior notice, to which my alarms go off immediately and I resort to installing the trial version of Kaspersky Internet Security for Android, and after running both a quick scan and a full scan, it detects the Trojan in question (attached screenshots below). What I proceed to do now is to eliminate the Trojan in question with the AV, to which I reassure myself a bit, knowing that the AV "neutralized" the Trojan; I'm still normal, using it, when days later, when I see the recent apps, I see the happy "App Settings" running, to which I deduce that the supposed virus survived, to which I resort to different AVs, such as Malwarebytes and ESET, both without throwing me any results. Tired, I let the matter pass and I don't give it much importance. Now we come to today: I begin to notice that the phone is draining the battery too quickly, apart from the fact that there is something that makes it not recognize the SIM (it is not the phone, because before it recognized it, apart from the fact that the SIM is new), I go to Settings to see the applications and I see that the infection has become worse: there are many more apps of its kind, such as a Flashlight call (I don't use external flashlights, I always use the one on the phone), another call " system service ”, and others that by the logo, I deduce that they come from the first one. My question comes in here: what should I do with the phone, given the evidence of infection? I need your help urgently, because if my phone continues like this, with your forgiveness, I will smash it against the wall without further ado, because this virus has me fed up.
Thank you all and I await your responses.
PS: The Sky Devices brand is from the United States, so it can't be that Chinese.
PS2: It should also be clarified that when I eliminate the virus with Kaspersky, more appear again, I attach screenshots below.
PS3: Yes, I know that this question has nothing to do with development, or ROM's or anything like that, I'm just desperate; this virus has me crazy, and I have also published my problem in the Kaspersky Community Forums, also in HTCMania , and nowhere do they answer me, and all I want is to get rid of this damn virus once and for all.
PS4: BTW, I am from Colombia, that is why in the screenshots that I attached you can see everything in Spanish.
