[Q] Can apk's from other devices be used? - Asus Eee Pad Transformer Prime

I was just wondering if apps from other devices can be installed on the prime. Like modded flash 11 apk for hulu and other apks that are in other android threads?

As far as I know they should...

Strange question... AFA they are not specifically designed for a specific hardware, all Android apps can be installed...
Just read carefully the OP if those apps, most of them have a market link, check on market that they are compatible..

You can install other apk from other devices but if they're not compatible with your device they wont open, FC ,or will give you an error that it isnt compatible with your device. Kinda sucks but thats how android is for now until everyone jumps on board to ICS. Atleast that's one of the point of ICS is so apps made for it are compatible across all devices with ICS.

[Q] Not able to download TABLET edition apps on the market...

I was trying to download the Wall Street Journal and/or New York Times Tablet editions but I think it doesn't see my phone as a tablet and blocks the download . . . Is there a way around this? or an .apk I could directly download and install? I found the BBC tablet edition in the market and it works well so not sure what's going on . . .
Any thoughts on this?
I don't really know but may be they are not configured the same - if it was an official BBC app and allowed download to our devices then I would question it more.
But like I said, I don't really have much knowledge about it so hopefully someone can tweak it.
Hey mate can also confirm this, downloaded it and once I opened it there was a message at the top stating not compatible with this device... could be Honeycomb dependent any one have a Galaxy Tab? That could try it?

EA games not compatible?

Hi
one of the apps of the day for 10ct today is SimCity from EA
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.ea.simcitydeluxe_row&feature=apps_timed_promotion
however the market tells me it is not compatible with my i9100
how is it possible that the most powerful android device out there (until now) cant handle it?
Probably some EA sh*t, i have the same issue.

thanks, i found the link but it doesn`t work for me
this app is incompatible with all your devices

[Q] Questions about rooting a nook (ROMs, apps, etc)

My brother is going to be purchasing a Nook Tablet soon, and he asked me to root it and install an Android based ROM to it.
Now, I know NOTHING about Nooks. From looking around on the development page, it seems that CyanogenMod is the only supported ROM for the Tablet. If there are any others, what do you recommend?
Secondly, will he be able to use Android apps? I know he wants to get the emulator apps (N64, Gameboid, Gensoid, etc). Will those all work on a CM Nook?
Thanks

There is Cyanogenmod 7 and 9 ROMs, a few rooted stock ROMs, and I think there's one MIUI here in the Development subforum. CM7 is what most people go with since it offers the most features without sacrificing much stability.
He can get Android apps and all of the emulators should work fine. I can confirm that psx4droid and n64oid work perfect, and I'm sure others do too.

Soniq 32" Smart TV android 2.2.1

Hi All,
I picked up a Soniq 32" Lcd last weekend and it runs android. I have been trying unsuccessfully to root this device. There is no usb debugging option so I am unable to use Z4 or alike.
I also have been trying to get the official maketplace installed by it keeps crashing.... anyone had any experience with these??
Thanks
BEn
Maybe try apps like this one:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...EsImNvbS5icmlhbmYyMS5udGhpZGRlbnNldHRpbmdzIl0.
To enable the hidden usb debuggin?
APK
Any Idea how to get the APK file?
Developer has it on his blog:
http://brianf21.blogspot.ca/
advancedservers, haven't worked out how to get the market on the soniq yet, but I found a way to install apps, just drop them onto a flash drive and then install them through the file manager in all apps. hope this helps.
Has anyone successfully rooted this android TV?
I have a Soniq E55V13A with Android 4.2.1
I know a few people have had trouble getting the TV Launcher on to it which skips the annoying cinavision front page and goes straight to TV.
The proper Soniq TV Launcher that you want is not in the Google play store as far as I can tell even though it is freely available in the Soniq cinavision market.
Here is the apk backed up from mine if you're having trouble getting it.
You can put it on a usb drive and install it from there.

The apk link still works for me and I was able to install it on my phone. Maybe try a different browser?
Bumping an old thread
Hi All,
I have the Soniq S55V14B-AU Running the original Android Firmware (Not sure how to find this). By now I am sure there would be a way to root this device and rid it of the cancer that is Cinavision. Can anyone help me? I don't have much cash to buy an up to date smart TV and considering this is running Android I am sure there would be a way by now to remove the trash and actually get Netflix on it.
Hope someone can help.
I gave up trying to update. I don't think Soniq ever released a decent update and even their website for updates is broken.
I vaguely remember being able install some apks via usb, maybe even root, but I doubt you will ever find an open source version of android built for your model.
Your best bet would be to get a Chromecast/Fire Stick/Roku etc. and use all the streaming features from there through HDMI. In fact you should definitely not connect the TV to the internet. It's so full of security holes that I've seen a report from at least one user who had ransomware take over his Soniq TV.

[Q] Disguise Tablet as another?

Hi there!
Is there a way to disguise my Tablet (Medion Lifetab) as something different, something more common, like a Nexus 10 or Galaxy 10 or something, so I can access certain Apps from the store? Searched, but couldn't really find something.
Thanks in advance

Apps from Google Play store don't know what type of Tablet you have, it doesn't work that way. I'm just guessing here, but I think it depends what flavour of Android (Gingerbread, Jelly Bean, Kit Kat) your running and the version of the App Store your running as to what you can download. (Maybe someone with more knowledge could confirm this)
Best bet for you is to research Custom ROM's and see what is avaliable, you might be able to run CyanogenMod or something. Look for forums for your specific tab maybe google it.
Hope that helps.
** Quick Google search for "Medion Lifetab Custom ROM" brought this up, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2097162 suggest you start learning to use the internet better ;0)
