So, went out and picked up a Mini Pro for the misses.
Well, off the bat I went crazy cause I couldn't find "Market" and well...after searching online, guess this damn region doesn't support the Market. How wonderful is that, so downloaded stuff online through slideme. Which really still sucks.
Then when I downloaded things to my laptop and wanted to bluetooth them over, I couldn't. Then when I wanted to send ringtones from my phone to the mini pro, I couldn't. So I searched, and wouldn't you know it. I gotta download a program, so I downloaded bluetooth explorer and then it prompted me that I gotta root this SOB to be able to send files through bluetooth? Did I just buy an iPhone or what?!
So I plugged in the phone through USB. And we copied over the APK. and I downloaded a file explorer, so I could get to the damn APK (really no file explorer included, or clearly apparent?). And when we launched the file (MSN), we found we couldn't send files, images, or anything other than text. Are you kidding me?
With all these limitations, how is Android so popular?
Are there any possible solutions without having to root this bastard? (aside from MSN). I just bought this thing and don't wanna void warranty so damn early so I could make it something PRACTICAL like every other phone.
I'm guessing you're used to nokia's and the like. I must say i've found bluetooth file transfer a little hit and miss on android, but you need an app called bluetooth file transfer but it's on the market i'm afraid. Where are you then? You can get the market app from these forums and an enabler for regions not supported so you may need to do some digging.

Not used to Nokia's. Used to WinMo and running Android Froyo on my Topaz.
Could not find the market standalone app for the life of me. And the phone is from Saudi Arabia, and I can't justify rooting it just yet.

Hi! I feel your pain. Android Marketplace is not supported in my part of the world too. I am looking for alternate ways to get apps into my phone.
You mentioned that you had to download a separate File Manager to get to the .apk files. Can you tell me which app you are using?
Also how did you manage to install the File Manager in the first place if you could not get to the .apk files?
Do you copy the .apk files to your MicroSD card? Do you any other advice to make installation easier if we download the Apps to our computer then then try to install them to our phone?
Thanks in advance for any help.
Cheers and good luck with your new phone.
Appbrain App Market and Apktor are viable alternatives for getting apps on your phone, the latter you'll need to find public repositories for. Sorry can't post links cause of restrictions on a new account, but google knows all.

Hey, found
Code:
http://slideme.org/
which let me download with the barcode, and then I installed the sites app manager directly on there. There are a ton of file managers, I downloaded two, I forget which. But the two most popular ones. Both worked, but only one handled ZIP files. I don't have the phone beside me, so can't recall...
I found the Market standalone apk, but it crashed everytime I clicked on "Download" so I gave up on it.
I'm gonna try those suggestions posted up and see if they have a few new nice apps on there.
I had the exact same issue as others above. My solution was to use the debranded UK Firmware, root the phone and then use the Bluetooth File Manager.
bmazloum: My phone also came from the UAE side and didn't have the Market. I used Omnius to flash the firmware. A friend of mine on the otherhand paid the local Sony Service Centre to flash and debrand the ROM. Maybe this might help
Guys you don't have to move the apk file over to the phone in order to install it btw... get Adb from the Android SDK and then place the apk file in the same folder as adb.
And then from command prompt, navigate to the folder with adb and your apk and type "adb install example.apk".
Make sure you have USB Debugging (Applications -> Development) enabled and that's it.
Works nicely on a Mini. Not sure about the Pro to be honest.
Ok so I am having a problem with the gameboid app. I downloaded a bios file, and out of the 8 or so roms I downloaded, only one is working. When I tried to load the other ones, it said gba rom load failed, or something.
Anyone know why they won't load? Could it be I need a better bios file or would that make any difference at all? I don't think it could be that the roms just aren't supported, they're fairly popular games, like super mario advance and whatnot...
Thanks!

Could be a corrupt BIOS download? Try re-downloading the BIOS file, and then run it again.
Wouldn't a corrupt bios file mean none of the roms would work? One of the roms is working, but the rest all say failed. Anyone have that problem, if it is the bios file? Can anyone confirm that either redownloading the bios file, or getting a different one, would solve it?

Oh yeah, sorry my bad. I didn't see that bit!
You could try re-downloading I guess, it might make a difference. What does it say when you load the non-working ROMs?
It says "Load Rom failed. Please try another file." or something like that. so far only Pokemon Emerald worked out of like the other 8 roms I downloaded from CoolRom.com.
maybe I should try a different bios file. I'll try that and report back to see if that's the problem. I was hoping maybe someone was having the same problem, and tried a different bios file, and then it worked. If that happened to anyone, please could you post the site where you got the bios file from? Thanks!
Tried a different bios file, games still won't load, except for same one. Hmmmm.... anyone have any ideas of how to fix this? Or could it just be that the emulator isn't supporting these games? Should I try to download a different rom file for the games that aren't working?

Please Help
Ive tried everything to get the gameboid app to work. I dont know what to do, can you tell me exactly what you did to be able to play game boy advance games on your mytouch? I have the emulator i just dont know where exactly to put all of the files.
Well first, you should connect your phone to your PC, and make a folder for the games you have. Alternatively, you could download a file manager app from the market and use that to create a new folder.
Then, you need a gba bios file. You'll have to google that though. Once you found one, put it in the folder you created.
When you open the Gameboid app, you have to specify where the bios file is, so find it and select it. Then just search for where you put your ROM files, and select one, and you should be set. Keep in mind, you don't need to unzip the ROM files you download, just download, and put in the folder you created, that's it.
I am still having trouble though myself with the app. I don't know if it's my phone(mytouch slide), or the bios file I downloaded, or just the rom files I got, but alot of the games I tried didn't work. more than half of them actually. Can anyone confirm if they were able to play these games:
Classic NES - Super Mario Bros.
Castlevania - Circle of the Moon
Dragonball GT - Transformation
Mario Advanced 2 - Mario World
Marvel Ultimate Alliance
Monster Rancher Advance 2
Shing Force - Resurrection of the Dark Dragon
Three StoogesTy the Tasmanian Tiger 2
Those are the ones I have so far that don't work. A couple just go to a blank screen for a second, and then it goes back to the ROM select menu, without any kind of message popping up, and most just don't load or do anything, and say Load Rom failed. Please try another file.
should I contact the developer about this issue, and see if he's working on updating the gameboid to be more compatible?

Oh, and also, you can use the Gameboid app to search for ROM files(games), just open it up, and press the menu button on your phone, and either select Search Roms, or the Rom Buddy option.
I'm having this problem with my epic as well. i would love a solution for this. its making me miss my psp.
Hi ti everybody.
I have to say that I tryed a few games ( other games, but I'll take a look to the listed ones ) and they all work except for one: Pokèmon Emerald ( Italian version ).
I've downloaded my bios over here: ww.emuparadise.org/biosfiles/bios.html
If you cold send me or post a link to the bios you use, I'll test it.
My phone is an Xperia X8.
EDIT: Ok, I've tested your emerald & it works.
Games I've played & Work are:
-2 in 1 Uno & Skip Bo(EUR)
-Dragon Ball Advance(EUR)
-Pkmn Fire red (ITA ver)
Games that don't work for me are:
-Kingdom Hearts Chain of Memories (EUR)
So, I'm wondering if you did the same dumb thing I did. Are the games you are trying to play for the classic game boy or the gameboy advance. Many of the roms out there don't always separate them if you download them as one large file. The only game I wanted was Metroid II, greatest game ever made btw, and I was having a really hard time playing it.
Since it was an original game boy game, I couldn't use gamboid, I have to use Super GBC Lite and it worked immediately without the need of any bios file.
Hopefully it's that simple for you
has anyone figured out what the main problem is yet? I have tried a few different BIOS files and that hasn't fixed the problem for my atrix. I'm looking for those italian versions of pokemon now to see if they will work
Loading BIOS failed. The valid BIOS file must be specified in the settings
Loading BIOS failed. The valid BIOS file must be specified in the settings I Have This Message When I Choose My BIOS And Play A Game .
rom file was the problem
guys, if it happen that you can play only even one game, that only means that there is no problem with your bios file but the rom it self because the proof is you can play other rom so for those roms that you can't play I suggest that you look for a different rom provider like loveroms.com emuparadise.com roms4droid.com and many others.. hope this helps...
Info:
Normaly Tivizen (a DVB-T Tuner for iOS Devices) works NOT with Android Devices.
But "iCube" produce the same Device ..... BUT with a own Firmware
In Android Markt / Google play is a App available which run ONLY with "iCube" Devices.
Info: Tablet Version --- Handy Version
WHICH Super Freak / Hacker patch the "iCube" Tablet Version --- Handy Version to run on Elgato Tivizen Devices ?????
10000000000 THX
Nobody ?
I thought this would be first class Hacker's .... I was wrong?
Very, very sad. Had soooooo hoped.

I would also like to know how this works?!

Hello, ...... ???
Hi
I have got a tivizen wi-fi and it works perfectly with my italian nobrand samsung gs 2 with polish android 4.0.3 using the icube program found on the market (blue icon).
It works even on my asus trasformer 3G with official ICS using the program on the market (orange icon).
... be happy.
Same problem
Can u please help me with the same problem?
elgato tivizen
has anyone had any luck with this yet?
This is a little confusing but am i right in thinking that its only the "Elgato Tivizen" that will not work with android and other makes of tivizen work fine like "icube" and "humax"
so is it just a firmware difference as they look identical and are both called tivizen but made by different companys, i'm guessing this is the case,
and i bet they are all made in the same factory
so by installing Icube firmware on my on elgato tivizen should in theory do the trick
anyone have any thoughts on this or have solved this problem i would love to know
laters

I have buy the Tivizen Nano (Samsung Edition) and it work fine on my Samsung S2 and with the patched Tivizen Samsung-Phone App it work also on my Huawei Mediapad.
But it doenst work on my Sony Tab S I have download the Tivizen Tab App from Market but it found no device. After a lot of Google i found a tip to change the entry "tivizentv" in "tivizenSS" in"arrays.xml".
Now after starting the App i can saw the Device "TivizenSS12345" but after i press OK an error occurs and said "no device found".
I think there a something more to patch in the App but iam an absolutly noob. So i have the big hope that someone can help me to run it on my Sony Tab.
I will donate to them who help me to run the App!!!
I've got my Tivizen from elgato working since today. The changes I made were from 2 weeks ago and then I could connect but there was an error that the device should be turned on. Didn't found out why it' is working now...
What I did.
I copied the tivizen apk from icube to my pc. I opened the apk and in the folder \res\raw there is firmware file. I copied this file to c:\programs files\terratec\terratec home cinema\drivers. With the terratec software I updated the firmware -> still not working.
I decompiled the apk and with a hexeditor i changed all tivizentv to tivezen in classes.dex and recompiled and signed it -> still not working. then I got the error that the device should be turned on.
Till today I tried it again during a dull moment on my holiday and it worked. I could select a country and scan for channels. The country where I'm now isn't supported so I couldn't test it completly. I'm not used to doing stuff like this so if somebody wants to try the apk I made or want to look further on it...

Good work !!:good:
i'd like to try your apk
hi,
i found out tivizen works just fine, when my 7.7 runs with ics 4.0.3 (or .4 ?), while on 3.2 it doesn't. it kinda runs, when i modify the tivizentv to tivizen, but then it would start up, show the tivizen in device selector and then quit, saying that it doesn't find the device it showed before. also on the market i get different versions of the tivizen software. on 4.0.3 it's the one with the black tivizen icon, while in 3.2 it get the selection of the 3 orange programs.
no one found a way to run tivizen under honeycomb ?

Hi everyone, I'm brand new to the site. I've looked all over for help with this problem and when I type [rec] into the search bar here nothing comes up so I hope I'm not posting something that's already been done.
I have an unlocked rooted Galaxy S2 I9100 with ICS 4.1.1 running Resurrection Remix on MTS in Canada.
I have been trying to install the game [rec] with no success. I have downloaded the apk and system files, put the files in the right place and installed the apk but once the game goes to the download files part it freezes at 0% and will not continue. I have read somewhere that I have to put the files in the games cache location but I haven't been able to find the location needed.
Any help would be appreciated.
