Sorry if this is a retarded question but with the fear of blatantly getting flamed for asking this, How legal is it to download any version of cyanogen or android and install a dual boot (web os and android) on an HP touchpad? Like what are the legalities? I know you void your warranty with hp by doing so but can anyone else clear this up for me? I googled and wikid and searched this forum but came up short. Thanks in advance.
Android is Open Source, and so is Cyanogenmod, as it's just a mod of the Android sources, so you're free to use it any way you desire.
see:
http://source.android.com/source/licenses.html
However, note that legally, you're not entitled to use the "Google" apps (Gmail, android market, Maps) on a device that doesn't come with them in it's original Android state - These aren't open source, and aren't included in the AOSP sources, or Cyanogenmod
see:
http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?title=What_is_CyanogenMod#Licensing_Controversy
Thanks
Thank you for bringing clarity to the question asked. So does this mean installing any apps on it for example GTA 3 would not be legal ? And would it be only legal installing aps on it that are available to the hp touch pad/ webOS?

It is not illegal. Just don't download pirated apps. It is your device to do with as you please.

That would be perfectly legal (as long as you pay for it). No, you can install any app you like (as long as it's acquired legally, it's fine).
Ok, but how could you buy aps legally without having the marketplace installed on the device since it is an HP touchpad?
install the market.

Using the google apps is not illegal, google asked the cyanogenmod team to remove all there apps from there roms because cyanogen is not an official google distro, that does not mean to say it is illegal to install the google apps seperately.

As AndroHero said, you can still install the google apps seperately. Follow the guide here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1302128.
Thanx for that link. Which tutorial do you suggest I follow to install cyanogen on my touchpad? Which is the best as I know there are a few? Thanx again for all the help guys.

I have the same problem as well, but Rom Manager is preinstalled in CM7 so I can't remove it. I tried to update it from the market and then buy the premium licence, but it still won't work and I wasted 6 dollars. Any ideas?

on my atrix and i cant find it in the market from the atrix (used market enabler to no avail), i even tried from the above android market link to install it from there over the google account but it simply wouldnt install... so my question is if anyone has the app installed and/or if there is a method to install it manually? (im using it on a cyanogenmod 7.0.3 nook color without a problem...)

I want that app too!! No, you wont be able to install Google Body on anything that doesnt run Honeycomb. Right now only a few tablets have HC. When Ice Cream Samach comes out it will be available on both phones and tablets; merging Gingerbread and Honeycomb. Your on Froyo. F G H I
Edit: what you need to do is sign in when your browsing the market through a browser. It will then let you know if the app is available on your device. THEN you will be able to download apps through the browser (if they "work" on your phone).

Hi All,
Google Maps already installed on my SGS2 as you know but when I want to navigate, it says navigation not available for my country>>>saudi arabia...
What can I do to have navigation for my country? I searched this forum but didn't get anything or for some other smartphones.
I shall be thankful for help.

Just download and install the apk, you don't need root...
This doesn't unlock your original Maps but installs a different modified one that supports world wide navigation, so if you've got root you might wanna freeze the original Maps along with Navigation, Latitude and Places and install the apk with the modified ones.

Thanks a million hank00k for your reply.
I tried that apk but failed to install over the previous version. There is no method I found in that thread on how to install in un rooted devices?
Well I don't exactly remember which post I downloaded mine from but I guess there's a different version for non root users.
Here's the apk I use, give it a try

the only way to delete it is uninstalling the app. turning off any connection to the internet works too i think.
can I delete it via file manager?? ...
I've taken the battery out several times and can see where that's not going to work much. So I'll turn off my internet right after I post this.
FYI: the ad seems like it's on a timer. Plus it keeps telling me different things such as "your phone is at risk", "free app of the day", "Samsung galaxy phone", and the URL is usually for candy crush saga, which not only doesn't work on this phone, the URL redirects me to Google Play Store.
Thank you for helping me out!!
Is there anything else I should try??
Get "airpush ad detector" , it is most likely some app that is causing this!

I was going to post another question mark but maybe not. I probably meant +1 to the ? . hadn't taken much notice of the kernel thing! :banghead:

I'm not getting anything more than the network notice.
Airpush doesn't mention an app or anything else so I'm really not sure what to try next. On most Linux systems, when you disable or worse, delete the network manager - your out of business. The thing stops working. I'm 200 miles from the nearest metropcs store, so that's why I asked.
The bulk of Linux distributions don't have issues such as this, so that's why I'd rather put the new Linux kernel in. Plus, I'm very familiar with synaptic and a host of things that android simply doesn't have.
I've actually found a premium Linux installer which installs Debian and Ubuntu on your cell phone right from sourceforge.net.
Also, I did some research and metropcs offers phones up to android 4.0. No word if they're still going to run in 2015 when metropcs switches over from cdma to T-Mobile's gma network.
I'm sorry for the late reply. I was nearly killed in a motorcycle wreck in January (6 months ago) and I've been sick in bed for a while. I was in a coma for 4 1/2 months. My new bike was destroyed. Several broken bones. - So I apologize.
The URL showing up in the address bar is http://adtracking.king.com/modules/ad tracking /?com.=candy.crush.saga. Is there a way to hunt this /modules directory down in Root Explorer???
You could try adding the address to the hosts file in /etc/hosts

The problem sounds oh so much like a malicious app, did you install something just prior to this starting? Maybe pull a logcat and try to see if you can't track down what's doing this.
FYI a lot of free games will do exactly this, try a clean wipe and just installing what you need

Demon - I agree this is some balogna planted on my phone. Although I always use Google Play for my apps and never ever install games, I did get gingerbreak 1.2 from a non XDA source and I think that's the problem.
Is there a clean Gingerbreak link I can use??

Shannon -2,
I looked up, and found tytung's posts regarding the ROM's and even found the posts for the new 4.2 ROM's then bookmarked the posts too.
Since a few mods got mad and deleted the download links, is therê a place that will allow users to download the ROM's we need?
Also, will these ROM's work on non -HTC cellphones?? (Such as my huawei M835).
I honestly don't know how to determine if my phones have the type of / version of software listed to run the ROM's tytung's listed in his posts. - I read most of his posts in on huge thread, including the new screen he created with other Developers. I just don't have the knowledge yet to decipher if this is appropriate for my two phones or not.
Since your an experienced developer, will the XDA premium app run on android 4.0 or higher and let us post??
Lastly, is there a Developer that I can Pay to updated my ROM?
Thank you Shannon!!
AFAIK all versions are supported by xda app.
If you search on google you will find links to tytungs roms, the mods don't want links posted here!!
Search for 'NexusHD2 Android forum' and you will find guides for installation on all of these roms.
No, these roms are specific to the HD2 hardware so won't work on your huawei M835.
If you want a fluid rom go for the gingerbread version, the 4.x roms have some lag!
If you have any problems post back here.
Good luck with it.
In search of a better ROM ...

I can barely stomach giving access to all my personal info to Meta. But at least it's encrypted, audited and somewhat bound by law.
Giving the same access to some random dev would be something I personally wouldn't do. His intentions may be good, but the reverse could be true as well.
Would you be comfortable using a "modded" banking app (say TM HDFC or TM ICICI)? Treat this app the same way and go with whatever your answer to that question is.
My Frank opinion: Avoid using the app.
You are absolutely right and it was stupid of me asking about it here. There was some chat about the app online that piqued my interest hence the question. A YouTuber even talked about such a modded app online....Anyways... thanks for the opinion
