Hi,
I recently upgraded my HTC Mozart to a custom rom (7 Wonders, 7740) and am now missing my nvigation solution, Navigon Select.
Previously, I got the navigation via my provider (Deutsche Telekom), which offers the Navigon Select on their branded devices (i.e. my Mozart).
However, after installing the custom rom, I can no longer access the branded marketplace to get it.
I've bought several addons via the in-app-buying system and would love to keep using these addons legally, which is why I am currently looking for a way to get access to a non-cracked Navigon Select.
Does anyone of you know any download-location for the retail (and therefore uncracked) Navigon Select?
Or maybe about a way to get the branded marketplace again?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you very much

hello guys. i'm from Malaysia. i recently bought HTC Hero. currently have problem with downloading application for hero and malaysia dont have android market yet. is there any way i can download any application besides android market.
i got a few question also. what the purpose of rooting the hero. if im using it in malaysia. do i need to root. will it void my warranty. thanks.
Before you even think about rooting, first read this.
The only other way to get applications/games onto your Hero without the Marketplace is to manually open the apk installation file via using Linda File Manager. You don't need to root your phone for this.
If you made a backup of your Rom using nadroid, your original Rom should be safe and your phone is still under your warranty.
The only reason to root your phone is to be able to have access to hidden files, remove unnecessary programs, have useful ones already pre-installed, speed up the phone, etc.
If you have any other issues/questions regarding what I am talking about, read the link I provided you first. It should answer all your questions.

Sorry, but that is not correct. There are other Market-style applications out there that he can use. e.g. SlideME, which probably came on the phone. If it didn't, you can download it directly from the website onto your phone, and install it from the browser though you need to enable Menu->Settings->Applications->Unknown Sources ticked beforehand.

Sorry, but this isn't correct either! A *very* good reason for rooting is to use "Market Enabler" so that he can install the Market application, and enable it for a different region that supports paid apps. Other good reasons include tethering by wifi, and apps2sd.

ok. thanks guys. does it means if i root my Hero then i can access the Market even i malaysia?
Essentially yes, though you will need to install the Market app and use the Market Enabler application to "spoof" the Market into believing your carrier is in a supported region.

But a "problem" with this would be the phone would "believe" that you are in say "Netherlands" when you are in fact in Malaysia.
You can "solve" this by disabling automatic time / date. Enter it manually.
ok. i read on how to run app from sd card. one of the step need to flash ROM to SD card. is it ok if i use different ROM than my current Hero ROM.
As long as it is a Hero ROM, for the Hero (e.g. MoDaCo 3.0) you should be fine. You do need to be a little careful though, because devs have ported Hero/SenseUI to other phones (e.g. G1/Magic etc).
If you make a Nandroid backup before you flash the new ROM, you can always roll back to your previous ROM.

Guys, I've been kicking around this site for many years, most often in the guise of a windows mobile user. I'm fairly adept with Linux, but have only recently (my 2nd handset) entered the exciting world of Android.
I'm running an MTK6573-based Chinese Dual-Sim 3G job (T8585, HD9+, whatever you may want to call it) running Android 2.3.4.
In my haste to unburden it of all the Chinese apps and junk that's loaded into /system/app by default, I accidentally removed SnsContentProvider.apk
With this missing, the contacts app doesn't work (crashes acore).
Of course, I didn't keep a backup of the original ROM, because I'm a smart-arse who knows what he's doing...
I've asked the vendor/manufacturer to send me another copy of the file (actually, the whole /system/app directory). If this isn't forthcoming, is there any way to use the file from another ROM?
I've tried copying the file across from another 6573-based phone (same version of Android) and resetting the owner/permissions, but there's obviously something else (digital signature?) stopping it from loading.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers.
What you can do is to flash a stock rom.

I should have said that re-flashing a stock ROM is not currently an option. The handset is a new model, and the manufacturer hasn't released anything for it. They've offered to re-flash it if I send it back to China, but I'm not keen on that option.
Thanks for the reply.
try mine
hi, i have hd2 pro 3g, i download for you mine, i hope it works.
Hello all,
let me present my self as a beginner in the world of Android.
It has come an Star A3 to my hands, with Android 4.0 and among all great things of IceCream, few Chinese apps I want to get rid of
the phone is rooted (well, one headache less)
I have flash the recovery 592zn.com_recovery_Star_A3_MT6573.img with Mobileuncle tools (included in the mobile originally) and done a Boot/System/Data/Cache Nandroid backup
Apps I want to eliminate :
Baidu input (and add the standard input keyboard)
own Chinese launcher (I have already install LauncherPro, but I would love to get rid of the Chinese one completely)
UC xxxxx (some Chinese browser)
Root Explorer (Chinese version, to be able to install the English one)
ICS 4.0 (also Chinese version)
a Chinese flash-light
a Chinese dark/light switch screen
a Chinese version of the configuration menu
so, basically to keep a clean Android
so, where I have to look for help on how to do that ??
what short of help / tutorial am I looking for ?
I have installed:
http://www.ltr-data.se/opencode.html/#ImDisk
to be able to mount the nandroid img files in windows7-x64
but I can't see anything, it ask me to format the unit (?)
similar with Daemon Tools .
any help will be greatly appreciated.
thanks in advance.

My advice since you're rooted is install Titanium Backup and use it to uninstall everything you don't want. It's a root app that can get rid of virtually anything.
Seeing as you have a nandroid backup, in the unlikely case that the device won't boot at all without one or more of those apps, you can just restore the backup you have.

Star A3 for dummies
Hello
Ok I have searched for hours (as the video asked) and I cannot find an "android for dummies" guide. I dont know what a "root" is or what "titanium" is... so I may have found the correct forum - but I just don't understand it.
So the problem is this:
I bought a touch screen DualSim Android 2.3 GPS 3G MTK6573 Phone Star A3.
It arrived today BUT it has some chinese programmes on it (that I would like to clear) and I cannot seem to download any additional apps for it.
google.play wont work (apparently it doesnt support the device)
It has a few basic apps - but nothing wild or that I guess can't be re-downloaded again.
What would you recommend I do - do I wipe it and install something new or what. and if so please can someone explain it to me in small "for dummy" steps
I am not sure what else I need to tell you to give you abetter pic, but ideally I'd like this phone to work on the google apps system (or can you point me to where I can get similar apps)
On the "about phone" the
android version is 2.3.5
Kernel version is 2.6.35.7
I would really appreciate any help you can give me
Thanks
My first advice would be to try and achieve root on the phone. This should be relatively easy on a Chinese phone, most don't have great security.
Basically, "root" means to get increased permissions on the phone. There are certain files and actions on the phone that normally you can't do. With root, you can. Think of it as somewhat like logging into a computer as an Administrator rather than a standard user.
"getting root" basically means installing a hack to let apps on your phone do more than they could otherwise e.g. uninstall preinstalled apps.
To "root" your phone, you can use a tool like SuperOneClick or UnlockRoot. For both, you follow a few instructions, plug in your phone and click "Root" in the program, it'll work out the best way to do it for your phone and do it.
Once that is all done, there is a guide here for getting Google Apps (e.g. Play Store) working on unsupported devices: https://senk9.wordpress.com/2010/12...ogle-apps-gapps-on-your-android-device-phone/
Once you get Play Store working, Titanium Backup is an app you can install from there. Using root, it can uninstall any app you want.
Be careful with all this, if you're not you could break your phone.
educated dummy
Thank you so much! - and such a fast reply too!!!
I really apprecate your patience in explaining this all to me.
It sounds relatively straight forward - I will have a look at those progs and link you suggest tomorrow.
Obviously I dont want to break the phone either, then it would be more useless then it is already
Fingers crossed - will let you know how I get on.
Hi all,
Watched the video so I thought I would tag onto this thread instead of starting a new one.
Just bought a cheap star a3 dual sim android phone. This my foray into android phones and I am having some weird issues. Just a first note I have just rooted the phone but these issues where here before and after rooting. The A3 is a htc sensation clone i believe when my other half who has a htc desire tries to call the phone the phone goes straight into answer phone and rejects the call, she is on giff gaff in the uk and i have tried both a 3 network and orange sim and it happens on both. There is some weird chinese security software that I trying get remove but its seems very stubbon. Anyone any ideas. Ps battery life is awfull i only seem to get 6 hours from full to dead without hardly any use. Maybe I have loads running but unsure what I need to keep running.
Please help.
I have the star a3
Google play works perfectly. If you PM me, I am happy to send you the apk file for google play.
since you are rooted, I strongly suggest you get root explorer installed so you can go through and remove all the chinese apps.
Make sure you remove "himarket" its a big battery hog.
To the person who says their calls go straight to voicemail, remember this is a dual sim dual *standby* if you are using 2g or 3g cell data on one sim then the other sim cannot make or receive calls.
Also, there is no ICS for the Star A3, its just a skin on top of Gingerbread to make it look like ICS, if you go to settings, about phone and look, the version number will be 2.3.4 or 2.3.5 which means its gingerbread (if you really do have 4.0.1 ICS I would love to get a copy of the ROM for it!)
Hi Lucifer, i just loaded your raimbow rom on my 710 (loving it). At the begining it says you removed the manufacturer apps, I was wondering if the network setup app was there. I need that app because I switch sims on my phone and need it. I was wondering if you could make a rom with it on or if I could get the xap file and side load it.
Thanks in advance for your response

Thanks inket that did the trick.
Hi,
I have a ZTE 967S. Had it for a few years, it came rooted with a standard Chinese ROM. I'd like to install a new rom but I'm useless at this, however I can say that the recovery mode is in Chinese which certainly doesn't help!
My problem is I was having a lot of problems coping with only 4GB ROM, although I think the partitions must be wrong because I could barely install more than two applications like facebook.
Anyway I downloaded a program to free up space, deleted some unimportant core apps like hangouts etc but now I'm unable to install any new applications on the handset.
I just wondered what you think may be the best solution to this? I've looked about installing a new rom but would this require me to install Mobile Tools on the phone? which is obviously a little difficult now. Is there another way?
