[Q] Root Store (cydia for Android) - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have a question regarding a store for all root users, almost like cydia on iOS devices. Is there anything like that? I have searched but have not found anything.
If no one else have found anything I am considering developing an app that have all root apps/tweaks/themes in one app. Altough I need help since I only am an amateur designer.

Questions or Problems Should Not Be Posted in the Development Forum
Please Post in the Correct Forums
Moving to Q&A

It would be kind of pointless. Not all tweeks, mods, hacks, themes, ROM's or even apps are compatible from device to device.

But the store can recognize the device and show the appropriate mods to that device! Just like market place

The marketplace does not recognize the device, it just recognizes what the device is not. So creating an app that has to recognize every android device, or compiling every mod and setting it up to only recognize a single, or a few devices would take ALOT of work. The rate in which tweaks, mods and phones come out, it would turn into more than a full time job.

As you read this I am creating a cydia app for android. In starting of for only the Galaxy S as this is the phone I own but if you want me to include another device just leave a comment

I am somewhat familiar with cydia for my iPod touch. I am brand new to Android and have been looking for something like it.
I look forward to seeing what you come up with...hopefully it will work for my Android version of the iPod touch - the Galaxy S WiFi 4.0.

Can you do froyo devices?

The closest thing i can think of that is similar to what your looking for is rom manager. Its free in the market and there's a paid key you can download from the market as well to unlock advanced features. This will detect the phone that you have and you can download CWM, roms, kernals, and themes as well as back and restore nandroids. The only thing this cant do is download free paid apps (warez). If you want to find these there are numerous sites. Google is your friend. Though i don't recommend this because developers deserve to be paid for there hard work. Hope this helps!!!!!

My progress of the project is in the i9000 apps and games section somewhere. How it will work is (the app downloads the rom in a zip and you boot into recovery and do the rest manually, now I know that seems stupid but this means tweaks can run on any device and firmware) PM me if you want the upcoming alpha version. thanks. Btw I'm calling it twiny!

Slatedroid.com has a pretty active pandigital Modding community. They don't currently have a specific section for the star, but if you search for it you'll find discussion of the device and there are tools there made for similar pandigital devices that seem to work on the star. Good luck!
Thanks for the help both of you and yes I like it very much. And I am a developer and not at all new to android systems. Also I didnt expect anyone to be working on it at all even I was just asking.
Please use the Q&A Forum for questions Thanks

[Q] Blackberry playbook android porting

Blackberry playbook price have been downsized by 50% so its a great buy only if android porting can be done, can any of our port android for it...... it would be great........
If you're asking if Android applications can be ported to the BlackBerry Playbook, then the answer is yes.
Research in Motion recently released OS 2.0 which allows for Android emulation on the Playbook. I believe it emulates Android 2.3.3. Using their freely available tools, you can convert your application apk to their bar format and it will function correctly on the Playbook.
However, there are some limitations to what Android abilities you can port. For example I heard you cannot port applications with ads. I believe there is a list of cans and cannots you can perform on OS 2.0.
I hope this answered your question.
Yes you can port android apps very easily using rims online tools, I did so myself to win a playbook. You can't use admob ads in your apps but I think other ad providers are supported just not google.
When you use their online tools they will tell you if your apps are compatible.

No it isn't possible yet but it might be in future, if it is you will almost certainly find out first at the crackberry forums as xda is not really pb oriented and its the crackberry guys who are looking into porting different operating systems to pb.

i dont know if i will succeed. i am not much of an android fanboy. i am a debian chap. so i will try to port debian onto it. but this doesnt mean android will go w/o support. i will try my best with what i can and level best.

Have you got any good news?

WTF is so sacred about the Android OS?

I am an apple convert, go ahead fanboys, flame me all you want. I am a tech geek and I try everything out. I want to learn and I want to play around with the toys that I buy.
I have fiddled with the SDK and the SDE. The company I work for built an Android device for military use, so I know a little about the processes used in hacking and development.
The thing I want to know is WHY is it in just about every thread I read, there is an assumption that everyone automatically KNOWS how to install a rom or kernel or anything else of that nature.
Go to the Aroma installer thread for example. There is a comment from the developer that states "Do not ask how to install Aroma. If you have to ask then you don't know what it's for". Well, bull****. I want to install a custom rom on my phone that utilizes the Aroma installer, but i cannot find any instructions or documentation on how to install Aroma. I can find all sorts of examples on how to use it, but not how to install it.
Now I created a theme way back when for the G1, I previously owned the Thunderbolt and have installed roms on it. But each device is different. Why is it so hard to make a post to help out the new guy?
I am sorry for the rant, and if the devs want to delete this post, then please do so. But I am frustrated to hell with the android community spouting how much better they are than anybody else. It;'s like some damn good ole boys club from redneck USA. Why not help spur on the community and share the knowledge?
because dear sir there are a lot of android forums out there, but this is a mobile phone and tablet development forum,, with rules that you need to read, and a journey of learning you need to take,, this involves reading and searching and accumulating knowledge, a far cry from having Apple sauce wiped from your chin
And yes,the journey is mentioned in the forum rules. Welcome to the world of free people

First u don't install aroma its a installer. U flash a aroma Rom the same as any other. It just guides you thru the install. Depending on the dev it has options to pick thru durning install. Like auto removing built in apps or installing a theme. It's just a installer.

I completely understand this part. This is what I am trying to find information on. How do I get the Meta-INF folder onto my Galaxy S3 so that I can utilize it's features and functionality to install the ROM.
In the past, i used clockwork mod to install roms onto other devices. This is where I am stuck and where I am trying to locate information.

I am trying to install the Dragon ICS rom, but it uses Aroma which I have no experience with.
I guess trial and error is not the best way to go with these things. I finally figured out how to get Aroma installed via the Clockwork recovery, and then went on to install Dragon ICS, the kernel failed, not the device will not turn on.... oh well...
Back to the drawing board I guess, Thanks anyway...
To me what matters is people who are smart enough to understand a phone OS usually pick Android, I mean just because Westlife outsell the Beatles does that really make them better? No it just means they more popular because of the image in the same way reality show acts are guaranteed a number 1.

He's asking for documentation on how to make an Aroma installation not how to use it when installing something you idiots. Half of the replies here didn't even bother to properly read before they replied...

The last time I checked, XDA was a DEVELOPMENT forum; not an Android forum. There are plenty of iOS dev threads on XDA. Go troll somewhere else!
As for the OP, AROMA should do all the work for you. Just flash the ROM that uses it, and follow the setup.

On a serious note, I'm beginning to understand the OP rant on this topic..
He has asked for assistance.. you can either contribute to making another well-rounded Android user or just ignore it all together. Chiming in with useless insults is what has now made yet another thread pointless and has now made 1000000000001 threads on this topic that still offer little to no clear assistance.
So again, I will ask, please go troll elsewhere.

You don't have to do anything except flashing the Rom like usual.
The installer is shipped within the rom.zip.
The only difference is that you get an interface after you accepted to flash the rom, which let's you choose which parts/mods you want to apply.
I guess you modified the rom.zip, because you told "you got it installed", reflash the unmodified Rom and just follow the on screen instructions.

I've tried the samsung store version with no luck. I remembered it loaded but something was off... I think it was the graphics dimensions and colors but I dont remember. Also needs to run on Jelly Bean unless someone can refer me to a tut or rom on ICS which I rather not do. I defiantly would like to stay on JB. I know it works on GNI through Chainfire ICS lol

There is no way to go to ICS unless someone makes a ROM which they won't do most likely.
The only way to get it to work will be if Chainfire updates his mods, which he said he had no intention of doing, or they port it to our phone.
I'm waiting for Rigonauts and the devs of that are real assholes.

Chainfire is in such demand. It doesn't even have to be free. I'll pay $10-15 for an app like this. I'm sure other DEVs can take over the project. If I knew where to start I'd do it my self. Within the last 2 months I've learned to make my own roms edit apks and flashable mods. I don't know that much about programming. Just web languages. HTML CSS PHP and a Little Java. Admins/devs enlighten me please I'm willing to learn and do the work myself. Maybe some help but you guys get the picture I'm willing to put forth effort.

Chainfires app shouldn't have to be completely rewritten, I don't think, just updated enough to work with 4.2. Maybe you should post in the Android Development thread and ask there. The general one for all android, not the one for a single device.
