[Q] Samsung apps on CM9 - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello,
I am using a SMS 3 I9300 on CM9. I'm very happy with it.
But I have a question. Is there a way to install the samsung "app" that checks with the camera if you're looking at the camera before putting it to sleep.
If you also know how I can set back the auto dim screen with the light it would be perfect.
Thank you.

No because samsung apps relies on the samsung framework. If you want samsung apps you need a samsung rom

You can't use the exact app from Samsung, but there are multiple 3rd-party choices available at the Play Store.

[Q] Market crashes after Rom (Theme) install.

Hi all,
Today I've installed ICS DOMINATION v4.0.1 and I must say I am very impressed with it and it runs very smooth, finally my Galaxy s2 looks more like a ICS phone.
The Issue is,
After I installed this Rom I couldn't find the Android Market, I was told to find Play Store after the previous Market recently got updated into Play Store.
I have found Play Store and I installed it, I accepted the terms and it's all good.
But when I tried to search for a App, it crashed and every time I try to open Play Store it crashes.
It's pretty frustrating and I hope you people can help me out here?
Kind regards.

It doesn't work!
C'mon people, I really need some help out here.
After uninstalling updates clear data, delete vending.apk from system/app
And redownload Google play market from themes and apps section and install it

Back to stock (or GB custom rom) & wait for official ICS if you really want to get rid of the problem.
When Google Market switched to Play Market or whatever the new name is, I found that where I had it on my home screen was broken and needed to pulled from the app drawer again. It even needed a reboot first.
Again, just now almost, I had a problem and resolved it the same way but this time it was more apparent because I had a broken icon on the home screen as well. Same thing; had to pull it from the app drawer.
Both times this happened while I was in the middle of updating apps.
There is this possibility, long shot as it may be...

Tasks apk

Question, I grabbed the tasks apk from my wife's galaxy s2. I placed it in my systems app folder and changed the permissions but I still can't get it to install. I really like this stock version just because it can sync with my Google account. AND I KNOW I CAN GRAB PLENTY OF APPS FROM THE MARKET BUT I WANT TO USE THE STOCK SAMSUNG ONE.
Is this even possible to do or is it simply a dead end just like the video maker/editor apk?
Thanks

Is Google Play Mobile Restore/Backup have config?

Hey guys
Since Honeycomb Android is able to restore previously purchased app (free and paid). So when you restore to stock as soon as your Android device is linked to your Google account it put back the apps on the device.
That's cool....but not all the way....
I have a Xoom and a Galaxy Nexus. Both have their specific apps on it. On my xoom it's more games, on galaxy nexus it's more on the go apps like Pulse.
If I flash a rom or return to stock, when cloud come in I get ALL apps. From the xoom and the nexus plus those purchased in the past and don't want on the device anymore.
Now my question is: Is there a way to configure google to tell my account that this apps can go on that device but not on the other one....If Android TV come in canada I guess i'll get 200 apps that i don't want on it......
If i select to not backup/restore It is gonna take time to remember all the apps i had and if i use astro to backup it Google ay will not recognize them and will not auto-update them so that's not better.

None that 'm aware of... I agree with you though, it would be extremely useful to have control of that. Of course, the average user only has at most 1 or 2 android devices, and don't spend a lot of time changing ROMS, so the need for device specific app assignments/settings may not really be on Google's radar.

[Q] Apps from Samsung store to Nexus 10?

I know the answer is most likely no but I figured asking won't hurt. I have a few apps from the Samsung app store and wondered if I can get them somehow to my Nexus 10. (they are paid apps not available on the Google store). I got a Tb copy of the. Apk straight from my phone but it checks the license on my Tab and fails (of course).
So can I activate Samsung apps on the Nexus 10?
Well figured I'd rather post this in the Nexus forum. Any who if you got an idea let me know.

I tried this once as well with a AOSP/AOKP rom and it didn't work because (1) the Samsung App Store didn't work without Samsung framework and (2) the apk didn't install as you mentioned. Hence I guess you need the Samsung framework to run it, but maybe someone with more experience can give his point of view.
It won't work unfortunately, due to not having the TouchWiz framework. If you could put a ROM on your tablet that features touchwiz then you should be able to install the app with no issues.
Oh well thanks for the answers though. Maybe it arrives on the play store some day.

[Q] Multiple apps previously downloaded are not compatible with phone in Play Store

Hi all. I need some help in figuring out what the problem is.
Currently I am running Paranoid Kangdroid by JamieD. I have multiple apps that are downloaded, but when I go to their Play Store Page, I get a meesage that says my device isn't compatible with the app.
Here are some of the apps that are applicable to this problem:
Square Register
Tasker
Google Hangouts (replaces Talk)
9Gag Official App
Temple Run 2
Amazon Mobile
There are a lot more apps, but these are just a few.
This problem also occurred with PTMR's Debloated JB 4.1 and JamieD's Revolt. I was wondering what could the problem be? Resetting the DPI did not fix anything and I wasn't sure making a post in the development thread would be the best place to ask my question. Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

I'd try this (I'm tired so I'll forget actual details):
Make sure your play store is 320 size and 360 layout. Once that's done, restart phone, then delete cache and data for play store and play services, restart again.

Thanks for your reply, but it didn't work. Maybe we're missing a crucial step?
The weird thing about this is that the play store didn't act weird until recently (maybe within the past week). Before, at 220 dpi and 600 layout, I didn't have this problem with the apps mentioned above.
You were on the right track. I just had to reset the dpi for the play store in the hybrid settings. Thanks for the help.

Search for Multi DPI Play Store 4.1.6 and you will find what you need. That way it won't matter your DPI, of the apps are compatible they will be listed.
