First: Welcome on this Forum!
This would be hard, it requires Android >3.0 so normally we cant get t..
But it would be possible to hack into the app and disable the Android Version check or set the check down to FroYo
But this is very hard... I couldnt do it
PS Wrong Forum. ("Apps and Themes")

This is not entirely true..
You see, just disabling the version check won't do it.
Since a lot of parts the app will be made specifically for 3.0, there might be used API's Froyo doesn't have.
I mean, setting the version check down to Froyo is quite simple, all you have to do is change one or two lines in the android manifest file (where it says minimal SDK if I'm right).
But that alone just wouldn't do it, it will only (if you're lucky) get you to install the app.
Maybe I'll look into it later, sounds interesting.

Here's a question I've not seen asked yet....
I've just started using Google's appinventor and I'm wondering if there is any way of loading an ".apk" file into it. If not, how can I convert an .apk file into an appinventor project file?
Guess I must be posting in the wrong place!

no idea, sorry
Also, I tried app inventor for a bit... I guess it does what it says it will do, ie cater to the needs of non-dev people who want to make apps
But coming from a dev background, I don't see myself working with it too long, just to get familiar with the android OS. Once I do that, its back to good old Eclipse

Well, is not difficult as long as you have some programming knowledge.
It won't make a big difference if is Android or other platform

hi there,
just got my galxaxy tab 10.1v yesterday. and now i'm wondering how to find out in the market, which apps are written for honeycomb?
what i need is something like a filter-option, like with the ipad and the appstore. there the apps for the iphone and ipad are shown in different panes, and you can easily tell whether an app is for pad or phone.
thanks for your answers
Yes, a filter is definitely needed.
There is already a list of Honeycomb apps being built in this forum. It's pretty hard to miss - it's the thread right above yours

i do know this thread above, and there's a similar one in xoom-forum, too.
but those threads need to be updated by xda-members, e.g. when they "randomly" discover an app. so if no xda-member is willing to update those threads, you'll never get to know the latest apps for your beloved tab
such a filter in the market would automatically show those apps.
If you sign-on in the market and you click on the App name it tells you in the application is compatible with your device.

Not even necessary. If it shows up in the Market, then it's compatible with your device (according to the developer). Non-compatible apps are not shown.
HC optimized is another story. What people really seem to want is a filter for tablet optimized (not just compatible) apps. But for reasons I've pointed out in another thread on the same topic this isn't likely to happen anytime soon.

Somebody should start a google docs spreadsheet and ppl can update it by themselves.
Digita1One was right. The best way to check compatibility for now is logging into your market account on your computer and click on the app name, on the left side right below the name of the app, it tells it's compatible with your tab or not. Just showing up in your market on your tab doesn't mean those apps are compatible. Hope this helps.

As I said in post #5, its up to the developer/publisher to code the compatibility of the apps in the market listing. Google doesn't police the market the way that Apple does. Most developers do a good job and mark their apps appropriately; a small number do not.
There is a hack going around that I have been playing around with that unfortunetly I have not been able to get working. It is an edit for the Build.Prop file in \system. (this does require a root and some sort of root explorer) (I've tried some of the other "hacked" APK's, but I can't deal with crappy video)
Take a quick look at this article on Reddit:
http://www.reddit.com/r/Android/comments/ha5oh/root_how_to_edit_your_buildprop_to_make_netflix/
After looking at that for a while I started tooling around.
Changes I made :
ro.product.model=Nexus S (Replacing MB860)
ro.product.model.internal=Nexus S (Replacing MB860)
ro.product.manufacturer=samsung (Replacing motorola)
So basically, this is supposed to fool the device check by making the application think you are using an accepted device. Like I said I haven't been able to get it to work. If anyone can see any other changes to make, any input would be appreciated. Hopefully we can get this working and share it with the community, until Netflix decided to come to their senses.
I've attached the Official Netflix app if anyone needs it
Already a working app..
Someone already posted a APK that bypasses the check.. there are video issues with colors, but that is the Atrix screen not the App...
also i'm pretty sure root explorer is a paid app, so posting that here violates terms and conditions

It something to do with either hardware acceleration of how the app handles teh qHD screen. the Watch ESPN app does thes same thing.
also this method is not a good idea when compared to using the modified APK, because you are editing your actual system files through this way. and as said before this has been discussed and a different way found already on this forum.

The Atrix has a higher resolution screen than every other android phone currently available. An app, especially a graphically intensive video app, has to be designed to scale up to this resolution. Not to say it can't work, just doesn't yet.

I had success getting Netflix to work on Viewsonic G-Tablet running CM 7.0.3.
I used the instructions posted by natemckn at reddit. As a noob, I'm not able to post links to the XDA forum (yet), so you'll need to search for the instructions on reddit or google. The post is titled "[ROOT] How to edit your build.prop to make Netflix work on unsupported devices."
Specifically, I modified these two lines in build.prop:
ro.product.model=HTC Vision
ro.product.manufacturer=HTC
Also, I moved NetFlix to my external SD card.
Rebooted, everything works like a champ.

Hello,
My friend is going to T in the Park (a music festival) I found an app on the market for the event, line up, schedules and the like by searching "titp".
I got him to search for it on his HTC Hero (which is still running 2.1 as he is a wuss and refuses to root it) and the app is not there. I tried changing security settings and allowing unknown sources but still nada.
Is it not showing up because it is incompatible with his Android version or am I forgetting something?

Yes, it's incompatible either with his Android version or his screen resolution.
Try sending him the apk!
Thanks.
I will do that. He probably wont install that way, as I said he is a total wuss.

Formbee,
I developed the app using Corona SDK and it'll therefore only work on ARMv7 phones running 2.2 or higher. An annoying limitation that I wasn't aware of until I was halfway through developing it. Android Market only displays apps that meet the conditions in the manifest for the app...so in this case 2.2 and up, and ARMv7.

Hello,
I own a Nook Color and plan to use it along with notebooks in school. I am getting a stylus, but the problem is the app. Is there a way to install SketchBookPro on the Nook Color? I'm running MIUI ROM. Thanks.
EDIT: Is there a way I can fake honeycomb to run this app?
You could use Sketch Book mobile but PRO requires Honeycomb.
Yeah you have to use Sketch Book Express (Free) or Sketch Book Mobile ($.99). Unless you install one of the Honeycomb roms.
Alright thanks. Boy am I sometimes dumb... figures. Thanks again!

I purchased and use the Sketchbook Mobile application and find that I really like it. It scales well to the display of the NC.
I can recommend it as well.
Thanks, but I just installed Honeycomb. Just to use this app.
Just went back to MIUI for the speed. Now i'm wondering if there is a way to fake honeycomb to run this app? Or modify it to run on 2.3.3? Because I doubt it uses anything honeycomb dependent. Thanks!

Instead of being rude you could explain why you can't. Things tend to stick when you explain why. I don't think we need comments like that in XDA.

You can modify the AndroidManifest.xml file setting minSdkVersion="8" for froyo. I've done this for SketchBook Express free version and you can download it here: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=A5WAH4PJ

This modified apk will install fine on CM7, but force close when you try to run it because it calls on the ActionBar API, which is Honeycomb-specific. You can see this by following the logs.

To do this yourself next time follow these steps:
1. Use Madcat's sdk port running on Rack's SD card to install Sketchbook Express from the Market and retrieve com.adsk.sketchbookhdexpress-1.apk from /data/app
2. Get APK Manager 4.9: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=695701
3. Update apktool to 1.4.1 (051511 release) for xlarge support: http://code.google.com/p/android-apktool/downloads/list
4. Extract Honeycomb framework-res.apk from any duodexed HC ROM, I used Xoom Tiamat 3.2: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1203635
5. Install HC framework for apktool per instructions here: http://code.google.com/p/android-apktool/wiki/FrameworkFiles
6. Use APK Manager to extract and decompile com.adsk.sketchbookhdexpress-1.apk
7. Modify the AndroidManifest.xml file with a text editor, I used Notepad++ in Windows
8. Use APK Manager to compile and sign apk.

Don't bother with the stylus. They don't work well at all on the Nook... even the capacitive styluses.

Ditto on the stylus issue...tried quite a few, haven't come across any that work well. Seems like the area the stylus touches isn't specific enough for any fine detail, or even writing properly.
