I've recently rooted my Nexus S, and for some reason Jenga and Ringdroid became incompatible for me... What can I do about this?

- Unroot
- Try using a different rom
Try other apps that do the same thing.
sent from an HTC sensation on CM7 alpha #10
Try OTA Rootkeeper by supercurio https://market.android.com/details?id=org.projectvoodoo.otarootkeeper
With this you can temporarily unroot. Try that out and see if those apps work afterwards.
Its possible that certain apps can detect root and as a result disable some functionality. I can't imagine why a Jenga app would have this though.

Do I really have to? I don't feel like unrooting just to check it... :/
Also, this already happened on stock ROM with root.

I've tried that doing the temporary unroot with that app, and it still doesn't show in the Market... Though I'm not sure if it really had effect. Is there any way to check besides the app itself telling me I have unrooted?

Just try to run an app that requires root to function. It if works normally, then you still have root. If to want to try a specific app, get Terminal Emulator and type "su" without the quotation marks. If you get '#' back then you have root.
Another thing to try is to search for your apps (Jenga etc) from the Web android market and install your apps from there http://market.android.com

Tried it just now, and it was indeed unrooted... And the apps still don't show up on the phone's Market, and on the Web version they show up but I can't install since they say they're incompatible.
Did you changed something else? Like the LCD Density? That could be a reason for.

No, I barely changed anything since this started happening... The earliest I remember noticing this was a bit after changing my kernel from the stock one to Eugene's.
I'm not sure if that is the cause of the problem... I can't remember if it happened after I rooted but before I changed the kernel (when I was completely stock with the exception of the root).
Perhaps your new ROM has a different build.prop that indicates incompatibility with certain apps.
You can try comparing your current build.prop with the build.prop from your backup.
It is possible that an app could try to detect that you have rooted, and refuse to run. However, I happen to have Jenga on my rooted Android tablet, so (unless it is terribly inconsistent at finding detecting it) that doesn't seem to be the case here.

The build.prop will have a few changes, but it will still have the same device properties.
I had a similar problem- turned out to be permissions settings- the apps you are trying to load may require more permissions than you have set- I found by enabling them all, the prob was solved

+1 for ad-free...BUT with the release of the paid versions of Angry Birds it's not as important as it was to me, but still great for being able to put the Flash add-on to "always on" and not have to worry about Flash ads in the browser.

Very true, although I kinda hate killing ads in free apps. I prefer paid versions so we can be ad free and support the developer at the same time.. Angry Birds was an exception because I always get distracted by the darn ads being in the same area as the target.

You also need to be sure you are using the latest version of busybox for TitaniumBackUP....select the problems tab. Should give you the option to update busybox.

Very sure I am rooted ( Ti Backup works just fine and I can use su in terminal). I have even uninstalled adfree and reinstalled with no luck. Hell, I even tried replacing the hosts file manually with a list that's kicking around on the forums. Still nothing. Just for ****s and giggles, I am re-downloading it right now. Its been a few weeks, maybe it'll work
No dice. Symlink is unchecked. Cleaning the cache now and will try again.
edit: still no luck. To be honest, its only my weathereye app that I'd really like to see the ads disappear from. I'd like to tear apart the apk and find the source of the problem, but I have never attempted something like that !
Guys I badly need help with this!
For those that got this to work what did you use? (Which Root method, and anything special done inside the app? I do have Symlink unchecked)
Specifically any Bell Users, how did you guys get this working? HELP!...

I'm completely rooted, and have done this exactly like I have on my Milestone and SGS.
Is there a way to get this going manually, since this app doesn't appear to work on the (Bell) Atrix?... Thanks!
Didn't you already post this in another thread ??
It's weird, when I installed GreyBlur when I first got my phone, the adblocking built in to it worked and I never saw any ads anywhere (It does the same thing as adFree I believe, so it's comparable...) but then a little later I reverted to a backup for some reason, so no adblocking naturally. And when I installed GB3.5 (now I'm on 4.5) I haven't been able to block ads at all since, either with just GB or with AdFree.
Until yesterday ADFREE was blocking all ads. After the upgrade stopped. The ads are appearing as if nothing block then.
This occurs in both wifi and 3G (Tim - Brazil)
Any solution ?
Tks !!
Edit:
I managed to make it work:
- Uninstall, reboot and install again
- Clear data from applications that have ads
- Restart if necessary
work that way here.

MUST BE ROOTED
the gallery app that came with the phone is lets just say horrible so i asked in irc if anyone knew of an alternative to the stock gallery...riggsAndroid forwarded me a copy of the 3d gallery apk and it worked with a few modifications to the permission level! So with that being said and with his permission i am sharing this info with all of you.
MUST BE ROOTED
to install the app you will need to be rooted as this needs to either be pushed via adb or using rootexplorer... and you need root to modify the permissions to rw r r using root explorer. MUST BE ROOTED
I take no credit for this discovery other than being a test bunny to verify it's working status so please say thanks to riggsAndroid for providing me with the direction!
MUST BE ROOTED
I will host the APK as i am not sure if it falls under warez guidelines or not so enjoy!!!

I think that's what we're trying to straighten out. This thread was started by someone in order to get the 3D Gallery app on to our phones - -but the method requires ROOT. Myself and someone else have said there is a version of the 3D Gallery app on the market that will install on the Photon WITHOUT root if done from the phone's Market (not on the web).
However, there may be some confusion as to whether or not we are talking about the same app. I have used the stock Android 3D Gallery app before and the one I just DL'd and installed from the Market on to the Photon seems to be the same. If it is, then that would be the method to use since it does not require root. However, if the app referenced in the original topic/post is somehow different then I think we'd all like to know (since it requires a bit more work to install).

I'm willing to bet not at first. I believe Verizon will keep it off so that it can substitute its own program that does the same thing. Then after a bit the devs will get it working for everyone to use.
I'm pretty bummed the device's for VZ are still shipping without Wallet...The previous "excuse" from VZ was that
...because Google Wallet did "not simply access the operating system and basic hardware of our phones like thousands of other applications," the service "needs to be integrated into a new, secure and proprietary hardware element in our phones"....

btw has anyone tried the method mentioned here to get it on their device? Have to use the default android browser to do it evidently, so no Dolphin, or Chrome even...
http://www.androidauthority.com/google-wallet-for-verizon-galaxy-nexus-50922/
...How to Install Google Wallet on Your Verizon Galaxy Nexus Manually:
1. Open browser on your phone and open http://market.android.com
2. Look for Google Wallet
3. If the browser prompts you to open the Market, don’t. You should stay in the browser.
4. Once results come back, tap on the icon for Google Wallet.
5. Tap the Install button before signing into your Google account.
Remember, you are doing this from the browser and not from the Market app.
6. When you have already signed in, you will be redirected to the Market page in the browser.
7. Don’t be surprised to discover that you don’t have an option to install the app since it doesn’t support Verizon.
8. Tap the back button so you are prompted for the Browser or Market again. This time, choose the Market.
This will let you open the Google Wallet page through the Android Market. You will get the option to install already.

So, I opened up the app menu, and listed there is "Touchscreen Firmware Flasher"
I don't think it was there before I installed a few apps. Anyways, I proceeded to open it and it immediately asked for root access. I declined, then proceeded to kill the app. I currently have the app disabled (seems you can't uninstall it).
Could someone running CM10.1 on the Nook Tablet please check if you have app? If not, it means I somehow got a virus.
I'll reset the device if needed.
The app is normally installed with CM10. It enables multi touch that is needed for some games. If you don't know what it is you probably don't have any need for it. I know I don't!

Phew! Thanks for the reply. I thought for a second that I might have gotten some kind of malicious app somehow.
It either upgrades/flashes the 10 point sensitivity capable firmware for the display, or flashes back to standard if already updated.
Can be removed/deleted once used or if not desired.
