Hey all,
So i'm in a dilemma. I currently have a Droid Razr (rooted with eclipse) on ICS. I also have a Galaxy Tab 2 7" (unrooted). I'm trying to play a game called Order and Chaos (gameloft online). It says in game that it doesn't recognize either device (in game), resulting in me NOT being able to play.
Breif Backstory: Before my Razr had ICS, and was on GB, I followed instructions here for editing the build.prop and tricking or spoofing the phone into thinking it was a Droid3 (phone compatible with the game). I could download, open, update and play the game. (Once game worked- changed back the build.prop and had no problems).
NOW that I have ICS, I brick the phone every time I try to edit the build.prop like before. I tried to install the .apk directly and that didn't work. I assume the game checks while loading.
Does anyone know if it is even possible to trick the new ICS rom into thinking it is an older model phone like the x2 or droid3?
Or can I "convert" or trick it into thinking it is a Galaxy s3, or other phone that DOES work with the game?
And same question goes for the Galaxy tab 2, tricking it into being a 1st gen galaxy tab (which works with the game)?
Stressed out and just looking for some expert help because all I want to do is drink some beers, sit on my ass and play a game.
Thanks in advance guys and girls
Not an expert (or even close...) but by any chance do you use Titanium backup? Because if so, maybe the apk is stored there...Don't know if this is a "paid" app, but if not, you can probably find the apk online...
I had a similar issue with Tiny Tunes. Both daughters wanted it, only one phone could get it. Downloaded it on one. Backed it up on my pc. Connected other phone, dragged and dropped. It worked on both phones....

It is a paid app. However i did find the apk onlkne and tried that route. Stilll gives me an in game error about not recognizing the device. I have a feeling it scans the device for "compatability" on startup, which is why thephone has to be spoofex as another one.
Tried the titanium backup but. That didnt seem to work. Fml. Anyone else have any ideas?

Hi!
This is nor 'pros' section, but development. Make question in QA section.
Thank you
what about changing the android.version numbers too? Considering that Droid 3's official updates only went as far as gingerbread.

Ahhh calex.... great observation. So is it possible to trick the phone into thinking it is a different one, on ICS.. Say for instance a galaxy s3 or does someone know a phone similar to the droid razr that will work?
Anyone?

So I bought NBA Jam on Google Play today, which works great on my i9100. I tried to copy it over to my touchpad, and am having no luck so far. I copied the com folder from android/data and installed the akp, but it still bounces off EA's servers and times out for some reason.
tl;dr Has anyone gotten NBA Jam working on the touchpad without resorting to piracy? Thanks
Have you tried downloading it from Google Play? Do you use the same account on both devices?

It might just be that. My app was causing issues with modified Build Props too. If you have a back up of your Build Prop prior to tweaking it, try to load it up.

This game does work for ICS. I run it on my g2 with andromedous rom and it works fine. I tried every which way of getting it on my touchpad but it won't work. Titanium backup way didn't do it. I manually placed the sd data and it still won't play. Seems like most EA games have problem with touchpad.
edit: i just tried to change my dpi from 120 to 160 and still no go. manually place sd data. tried to d/l data....nothing. i keep trying and will let you guys know if i get it working somehow.

works on my transformer with the official ICS. im getting a touchpad by the end of the week, ill post my results.
When I try downloading Sims Freeplay, I get the same 5002 error as well. Haven't tried NBA jam yet.
Only EA game I got to work is Madden NFL 12.
For all EA Games, we can't download the SD Data due to a "5002" country gate error. This is the "workaround" that EA provided me with. I haven't tried it yet because I haven't had the time. Good luck:

This is a possible workaround for the issue you're experiencing. Note: This requires another android device, such as a phone for the workaround.
Download the game and any updates to your android phone, then copy the files to the same location on the Tablet device, the file location should be:

I've had dead space and need for speed hot pursuit working. I used a titanium backup from my g2. Usually works because they both snapdragon andreno series.
Nba jam just won't do anything. I've exausted every possible way one can get a game to work. It will not work. Better luck to someone else.
Btw, the game is worth the headache if some1 does make it work. It play on g2 and is amazing. So much fun.

before I state my question, YES i tried searching around this forum for my particular problem, but I'm kinda ishy-washy on some of it- I'm one of those people who needs an answer to my exact problem so sorry!
Anyways, I have this HP Touchpad for awhile (my Aunt bought it for me when it was on a huge sale in mid November) and I kinda got pissed at it with it's lack of apps and things to do, compared to what my friend has: an iPad. So I put it in my closet, until now where I'm just craving for a tablet.
But I still have the same problem: THERE'S NOTHING I CAN DO WITH IT. I have watched many videos and blogs about how people changed their touchpad to different systems and I'm interested on how to do that. First of all, which system is good for me to switch too? I do not want to switch to a system that will not benefit me at all. I am aiming for using a tablet for opening Microsoft files (Word, Powerpoint) and editing the files, playing FUN games (not that awful Robotek game), and watching videos on youtube.
So which system you recommend on me getting? And what tutorial to follow to get that system? Is there risks involved (I do not want to waste my touchpad)? How big of a risk? Should I just save up for an iPad? Also please be specific on the tutorial on what to do (Preferably a video tut or possibly have one of yall geniuses be there while I do it)
Sorry for all the questions lol I'm just about this close to throwing this tablet out of the window.
Well, there are a few things you can do with it already.
Firstly, WebOS is a nice OS. Yes, there's a lack of games for it at the moment. Yes there's a lack of other non-game apps available for it, too. That's a given. WebOS is just not as popular. HOWEVER. With it being open-sourced this year, that should change.
Secondly, the ability to install Android on your Touchpad is well documented. There's a great guide on how to do that at this link here (to RootzWiki). They are the people who put CyanogenMod 9 (Android 4, Ice Cream Sandwich) on the Touchpad. This means you have a tablet OS of Android that works, is (in my opinion) extremely stable, and can do almost anything.
For your need of YouTube, that's covered - the HD acceleration has been incorporated into Alpha2 that I linked to you. The ability to play games, there's a lot of them out there for Android, and with a little searching, you can tweak your TP to be able to download and play more of them. As for office files, if you download any of the good Office Suites (they cost anywhere from 5-25 dollars), you can do mobile office work right on your tablet. I have all three from the Amazon AppStore - Documents to Go, OfficeSuite Pro, and QuickOffice. All three offer their perks, all three have their downsides, but all three work great for what I've had to do.
If you have questions about the install, feel free to drop me a PM - I'm more than happy to help walk you through what you need to do to get ICS installed on your TP. And since I've done it many, many times, I can almost walk you through it completely in my sleep.
Hopefully that answers some of your questions, mate. If not, as I said, ask away, and I'll try and help.

Well... it's now essentially dead... you aren't going to find much support lol. Nobody in their right mind is using CM7 still, unless you must absolutely have half-working Skype or something. Move up to CM9 bud, see if that doesn't fix things.

It'a an alpha, it's common to have problems. But why would you install a CM7 Alpha? Like that guy said, get on CM9. The camera still doesn't work, but to be honest, it wasn't really functional in CM7. Other than that, everything is MUCH better and more stable now.
If you are looking for a cheap method to work with Word documents you can use Google Docs. It is cloud storage but it will let you do the basic work on any device and then download it in Word format.
Any of the other listed apps do a great job as well. I got them all free on the Amazon App Store, they have a free app of the day. Once you get your tablet setup and in a good state look it up for freebies.
its a great tablet.

Euh i just want to say dont buy a ipad if you have a great tablet alrrady hp touchpad. Its the same size screen etc.. ipad is fun but sucks (because of no costumaziation android is and says fun) only thing i still dont like about TP is no hdmi out and no full usb host, but still better then ipad (doesnt have one of then also)
I had used webos for a long time downloaded al games for sites and afcors instaled preware i had i think about 10-15games 3d games like ashalt need for speed. Al for free. But after 2-4months it sucks and i instaled android and never rebooted webos again.
If you have CM7 Running, what you need to do is Download the CM9 files and gapps v11, then go to Clockwork recovery, wipe, flash files, and reboot. That will work beautifully. lol
If you insist on staying on CM7, then that is normal for some reason that it will boot when a charger or usb is connected (maybe even CM9). Even sometimes without it being connected, if you do a shutdown from within the OS, it will reboot and you have to select shut down from the moboot menu.
Hi Ive been trying to root my Nabi 2 tablet to access the Google Play Store. Ive downloaded ADB and followed instructions, Ive also got the correct drivers etc, when i ran the root tool by jmz I chose option 1 and it ran through the process, is there anything else I need to during during this as I then booted up and it was just the same as before?! Im normally an apple fan and experienced in jailbreaking etc but this is my first android as Im trying to exchange all my apple devices for android lol. Can some help me find a step by step full tutorial as Ive been trying to follow the one in this link here http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1905674 but I cant understand what else I need to do?! Thanks in advance
Anybody?! JMZTAYLOR if you see this can you please write a quick tutorial on what I need to do as Im clearly doing something wrong. Its probably just something so simple Im missing?! Any advice would be highly appreciated, sorry if this post is extremely noobish Im normally very adaptable!
Any Luck?
I was just wondering, it's been over a month with no post here. Did you get it working? If so can you post your solution or a link to the thread with the solution you used?
Not sure about the root tool for your device, but any good root tool will install a superuser app, such as Superuser:

Not sure if you got your issues sorted yet but if you go here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1905674 I am sure someone could help you. I just rooted 2 in about 20 minutes over the weekend. Good luck
There's no need to root the nabi for the play store...
http://everythingnabi.blogspot.com/2012/08/googlie-booglie.html
Interesting, except for step 21:
21. Do not update or attempt to install any apps, as it will force close the Google Play Store. The apk file installed is not fully functional on the nabi 2 Tablet. It does however allow for the purchase of Books, Movies and Music. The following pop-up will appear if you attempt to update or purchase an app.
If you root you will have a fully functional Play Story as well as text AND video on Google Talk plus many other features

I want to get Google Play working on my son's Nabi 2 as well, but I'm pretty concerned over the touch calibration issue some people are having on the ROM thread about rooting it. I've only had one android device (my galaxy s2) and thought about rooting it, but couldn't find an overly compelling reason to do so. Now that the Nabi 2 needs it, I would be loathe to brick it/mess it up to get this calibration issue. Even if I try on my s2, this Nabi seems a tad different for some reason.

That is a very rare issue. If you root it and have a problem with the touch screen it only effects recovery software once it's rooted and gapps installed you won't have to go back to recovery.

It is indeed a rare issue, if the script goes fine, you shouldn't have to do anything in recovery yourself anyway. Here is the gapps.zip that fixes the 'android upgrading' on every boot.

Do you really need Google Play?
Nabi 2 works great with Amazon App store (over 50,000 apps). Ex. Unless I installed Minecraft PE, my son would have 2 tablets for Christmas, his with no minecraft and mine with. In daddy mode you can get amazon and the installed apps are manageable in the add/remove to decide which apps to allow your child to see. PS: DO NOT add Amazon store to Nabi mode (unless your child is older, or unless your rich and don't mind your child maxing out a credit card on apps). Personally, I have jailbroken ipads for friends and rooted my last Motorola phone, but I wouldn't risk and consequences of screwing up your child's brand new tablet. You can go from Hero to Zero if you mess up.

Just be prepared to lose a bit more battery life when you install the Amazon app store. I have heard about it taking up a bit more battery due to licence checks, running in the background and such.

First off, Hi, yes i am a N00B... i hear your groans already :good:
So i finally took the plunge to move to android after many years on Blackberry and have to say for the most part i am glad i did. I am currently running a Samsung Galaxy SIII;
Model GT-I9300
Android 4.1.2
Baseband Version I9300DXELK1
Kernel 3.0.31-836582
[email protected] #1
Build Number
Android revolution HD21.1 by mike1986
I am on the Isle of Man Network (Cable & Wireless Guernsey / Sure Mobile (Jersey) (according to Play))
Whilst i am a techie and have worked in IT for over 10 years i am still finding my way with Android so please bare with me! (I wouldn't for a second fathom that i know enough about development so thought i'd come talk to you guys.. as. well. you develop the stuff i'm having issues with!)
My mate rooted and uploaded a customer ROM for me when i got it and pretty much left me to my own devices, whilst i have only had a play round for a few weeks and downloaded some apps there is a few things that are annoying me (and yes i have searched around these forums, googled the hell outta it and unfortunately the things i have tried hasn't worked for me. So...
the crux of the matter is, there are 2 apps i am trying to get working on my phone but unfortunately there are a number of issues.
Sky Go: initially not showing up in the play store (rectified by the use of PhoneControl and Market Enabler)
When attempting to download i get "This item is not available in your country"
Whilst googling i noticed i was not the only one experiencing this issue and with some help from other frustrated users attempted to spoof the phone into thinking its on a different network codes via MarketEnabler. No dice. (although i can now at least see the 2 apps im trying to d/l. I know it works locally as i use it on my ipad (sorry to swear!)
HSBC Fast Balance: Same issues as above, research unfruitful. I had this app previously on my blackberry (shocker i know) so i know it is available in my region.
I have tried multiple things to try and fool the device into thinking it is somewhere else, i have tried changing my default country in multiple areas thinking this is the problem. No dice
So my guess is that the ROM my mate downloaded was developed in a different country and as such hard coded somewhere into the version, but im just guessing.
Any help/advice you may be able to offer would be most appreciated

Same with Sky Go
There's nothing wrong with the custom ROM your friend installed, but you might be better off going back to the latest stock ROM (XXEMB) for the UK - if you want the phone to work exactly as Samsung intended it to. Android is a wonderfully open ended OS but can be a bit too open ended sometimes.
You can download stock ROMS from links in the general forum and follow (closely) the instructions to flash it via Odin on your PC - or get your friend to put back how he found it.
Ok, I have been everywhere and looked through everything and keep running into a wall, hard. I am not new to rooting Android devices and am comfortable doing so without and issues. However, I recently lost access to my computer and most any other computer around me. I know there are a few apps out there that one can use on their android device (smart phone, tablet) that can root their device. However, I am unable to find them to use them.
I am coming to you good folks at XDA for assistance with this. Also, my tablet just recently, like 2 or 3 days ago, updated.
Any assistance with this would be great. I just hope someone can help me out with this.
I hope I posted this in the right spot. I say this because I also saw questions like this in a different area as well.
I hope this is not a big issue.
I've owned an A200 for close to a year and have never seen a root method anywhere that didn't require a PC. I think all the old 1 click apk files only work for Gingerbread. I hope you find something to work but it's not likely.

So far, from what I am seeing and have seen, I think you are right. And it kinda sucks.
OK, so how about this, what about using another android device to root? I have 2 other devices I could use. Just tossing the idea out there.
Anyone have a possible idea for this?
Something else I heard/read about is rooting through the recovery program on the tablet. Does anyone have any ideas if that would work and what I would need to have?
