buy it! Do you really expect any help with a cracked version?
i dont agree with blaque72 but i think $15 for a launcher is obsurd! look at a launcher like launcher pro, $3.50.. im sure spb is nice but not THAT nice.

There is a way to prevent check, however if you want a nice app like this, pay for it. I mean, if you smoke, thats 2 packs. If you drink beer, thats like... a half-rack. (a days worth)...
People from this forums=
5-10% pay for all their apps.
45-60% pay for some/most apps.
the rest dont buy any at all. I've seen you little annoying kids out side the 7-11's... Yes robo defence is awesome, but they just released a cool new update. Too bad you cant get it yet untill someone releases it... Mine was updated yesterday you tool.

nice! someone finally realizes that paying for apps is a waste of money!
I agree....Devs deserve no compensation for making an app......if they want to make money they should go make apps for windows 7...../sarcasm off
Buy the app and you won't have any problems.

Just wanted to let every body know Widget locker works great on the Nook Tablet.
Since we can't make the Nook button go right to a aftermarket launcher, I started to play around with widget locker. You can get it from the amazon appstore for $2.99
I set it up so I Have a short cut to go launcher right on my lock screen.
Also if you go to advance setting and click always unlock to home. You will also get the popup where you choose which home to go to and you can select Use by default for this action.
Nice, beat me to it. I emailed the developer for WL last night to see if he could email me the APK to try on the NT. I've bought it on Android Marker (didn't want to have to buy it agian) but I haven't heard back. Looks like it works though, good stuff.
thanks a lot for the tip. works awesomely, i dont even care about root/cfw anymore. with this easy launcher the tablet does everything i ever wanted it to.

I agree (somewhat). While I still want to get CM installed on it in the near future, I'm pretty satisfied with the workarounds that were obtained in under 2 days. this more than holds me over for what I want to do with it.
I can't get that kind of service anywhere else!
If only we could install 3d party keyboards....this would be mint.

You probably know this, but I've been able to install all my paid apps by emailing the apk from my phone to myself, opening gmail in the web browser and then installing from there.
ADW EX Launcher works perfect.

That app worked alright, I jammed up my gmail with it though, I had about 10 emails that got stuck on sending for like ahour while it super heated my phone. I wound up rebooting to stop it, it prolly was most likely some in my setup of my extremely modded phone though.
It did work great using backup to sd, then astro to share via dropbox!

Hello. I had a game from internet called the world of magic 1.1.0 and it worked perfectly on my glaxy 5 i5500 and now they updated it on android market and i cant download it anymore cause now it sais it wont work but it does. Most of the games work on android market that it sais it wont. So Im begging for help or advice what to do cause the game is my favourite. (i hate android market) I think it should be free to download any free game you want and see if it works or not or have the warning that it might not work and you can still download it. What should i do, cause i cant find the 1.1.1 update on google only 1.1.0. It's a free app too so no one has posted it anywhere. I was wondering that maybe Some of you could do the hassle and get me the apk of The World Of Magic 1.1.1 update. or should I somehow contact the game owners? which will take longer i think
I thought you can pay for it and if you change your mind, you have 15 minutes to uninstall to get a refund?
its a free game.. so what refund could i get? XD
Its not the market, on app upload the dev can specify a minimum DPI(ldpi, mdpi or hdpi) to install, so blame the dev.
Sent from... somewhere...
it really does suck. cause i contacted the game devs. they didnt even aprove my post on their forums. Stupid i tell you ... Its like this with most of the games. The games run on my phone but it sais its not compadible i think its cause i have small phone (galaxy 5 i5500)
I've tried rooting the phone or whatever but none of the rooting things work for me. Anyways i read somewhere when you root your phone you can change the name of ur phone so it would say something else for the phone name on the android market.
Please use the Q&A Forum for questions Thanks
Moving to Q&A
The market looks at your dpi in build.prop, which governs the scale of the UI, so putting it above the default is a very bad idea, I tried it once take it from me.
Yes you require root for it though, possibly s-off

Well thats all stupid -.- im starting to hate the fact that I have decent phone and Im not able to download and try apps. The market thing is a fraud people should be able to download whether it works or not and just test themselves.

the game is this anyways

Wipe data and cache of market app. Then search the game, select it, and while its loading the page the download button is visible, so click it and there you go Well, please be aware that you won't receive any notification for available updates!
I've got the same problem all the time as the default dpi is way to high and makes the whole phone unusable in my opinion

I have the apk for the 3.4.4 market. I froze the market updater but when I install the Market apk within 5 minutes it updates to play. Is there a way to prevent the upgrade?
What's the big deal with preventing the update? Looks like exactly the same market with a name change to me. Just wondering what I'm missing and in no way trying to be a jerk.
Sent from my ADR6400L using xda premium
You dont want to stop the update because if you do, you will not be able to get apps or update current apps with the old market.
Anything else that relies on the newer market will fail as well. I doubt you could stop it anyway..
Install an older version of the Market and use Titanium Backup to freeze the Market Updater...but there's no good reason to not update.
The new market is great! LOL, it is pretty much the same. The only difference if you have a tablet and that allowed you to purches music through the app. Again looks pretty much the same. New name

personally the name change is annoying as all hell, google quit trying to program your brand name in my brain, when i want to buy and app or something i want to go to the market or to the store, not go to the google and pick up a new app.
every-time i'm in a rush trying to pull something from the app market i can't find the bloody icon because i'm looking for the market or in the old location on my app drawer, minor change i know but i have caught myself cussing at google when i needed to re-d/l my gps app after it crashed during a trip i as on a few days ago.
any chance of renaming the new app back to market without root?
Just use a launcher and if already do, just change the name duh..lol that's what I did ....

I also would like to learn how to get around using Play. The new terms seem to allow Google to read my sms messages and record the message routing. I don't think my correspondents would appreciate having their thoughts being part of Google's repertoire.

What conspiracy theorist cooked that up?
The only way to get around using Google Play is to not use android. What you're asking is the equivalent of saying you want to use an iDevice without the app store.

Memory needs > any update
I have a very good reason for not wanting auto-upgrades. Radio Shack misled me about the HTC Wildfire S and now I've got jack for memory. I have four apps installed, use only the native message app, and I'm lucky to have 25mb free. Anything less than that and the phone works as well as the Pony Express does today.
FWIW, Tandybot told me I could always install apps on the SD card. In theory, yes, but so few app devs code apps to work in that manner. Lesson learned.
kite edit: SNIP! No need for that kind of attitude around here, I'm afraid.

If anyone figures out how to root this PITA let me know please. My family is technologically challenged and I help them with their tech problems. This meep is something only an overprotective mother can see any good qualities in. You can't even look at it without it being logged and sent to the parent control panel, which has been bugged out and half working every time I try to use it. Anyway, I guess my point is that I want to root it and make a proper tablet out of it. Until then, I suppose I will try to convince my family to return the damn thing and get my little sister a Nexus 7 instead.
I found it out by accident. Just install super su and some app which relies on root, I installed titanium backup and it works.
I also installed nova launcher and its also working. For app market, you can try and install root explorer and change permissions.
This could work, but since this tablet is for my little daughter, I am not interested in using market on meep.
he guys, keep in mind, this tablet is for your kids. let them play on it, not you!

I might have to go through with the process later, it would seem that there is yet another problem (big freakin surprise there). I did a factory reset and i may have to log into my sister's google play account again, the only problem is the only way i know of to open google play is to use the parent control thing to do it, and that is not working. I'd call support and ask about it, but honestly i've read all over the internet that they will just put you on hold and hang up on you.

The second thing is, well not completely about the root package but about the latest bluestacks 0.8.xxx, is it normal google play never works and basically just closes in a split second after opening? ever since i upgraded from 0.7.xxx google play simply doesnt work for me, and oddly, so does ADW Launcher (it works but after clicking it for a while it crashes the entire emulator) same goes for chrome and the gmail app... just thought id ask you this because you're the last person making root files for bluestacks and the only seeminly knowledgeable one since the bluestacks developers never reply to anything....

Well, haven't tried yet, since I always completely reinstall BlueStacks from anew. I suppose it should work for updates where they changed the emulator, but it's questionable for upgrades where they changed Android, because that would probably be in the rootfs.
So the only thing I can say is: If you're lucky. I would suggest backing up your old 'Root.fs' and 'Data.sparsefs'-directory, so when it doesn't work you can easily put those 2 back to revert.

Actually, at this end Google Play Store doesn't crash, nor does ADW (or I wouldn't have added it). I know Play Store didn't work for me in 0.7.x, but that got solved since 0.8. Did you freshly reinstall BlueStacks or have you always upgraded? Because upgrading could always be the culprit, seeing as it will probably not have been made to expect rooted systems...
Theoretically it shouldn't form any of a problem, though, but practice has proven theory wrong many times before... ;p
Anyway, I hope that sufficed for now...

I guess its worth it, no point in holding on to the current version of bluestacks if the newer version fixes stuff, and god knows the current version im on has its bugs, so buggy it could make an exterminator go bonkers if i had to be precise.

Ah, so this is where Bluestacks stores all the Android data apps make and the apps themselves and their settings? Whenever i previously tried to root Bluestacks id save the entire \Bluestacks folder in ProgramData as a backup incase things went south, keeping it to just those two files should make things easier...

Weird, we're at like opposite spectrums of it lol, for me 0.7 worked but for you it didnt while with 0.8 it did for you but not me. I wonder if the folks over at Bluestacks made it as a way to prevent users that were previously using the Play Store since companies have to license being able to use Google Play..
