Hi, I've seen some other folks posting that they've got this (installing MotoCast on a Droid RAZR MAXX HD) working for them, but I cannot get any answers. I've downloaded the MotoCast.apk,made sure my phone was set to allow installation of non-market sources, and it just wont install. I've included a few screenshots so you can see what Im trying to do, in this particular order, to get MotoCast installed. On a side note, my phone is NOT rooted. Does it have to be rooted in order for this to work? I'd surely appreciate anyone who can give me some direction here. Thanks

I was the one who uploaded the motocast APK in the other thread. I wanted to confirm that you DO NOT have to be rooted, I was able to install the app just like any other normal app.... did not need to move it to the system director or anything, just downloaded the apk and installed it.
Not sure why you are having a problem, I'll keep thinking, let you know if I come up with something.

Has anyone figured out how to get the droid eris to work with app inventor? From what I've heard everyone's having a lot of trouble with it. I'm on a mac, btw, and I've been mounting the phone as a disk drive with no success.
I just sent my request for an invite yesterday, so obviously have not heard back yet. I don't think there are many that have gotten theirs yet either... Just for fun, I did install the appinventor-extras and it did recognize my phone, so I hope that's a good start. Running Windows 7 32bit.
Do you have a Droid Eris as well? And yah, I think it has something to do with running it on a mac because it isn't compatible with HTC Sync which contains most of the drivers I need.
Have an Eris but do not have Sync set up. Already had adb installed so probably just used the the ones that were already added in.
When I get my invite I will get it to work with the Droid Eris. Btw, if you're on a mac, ubuntu works really well dual booted, if thats your thing.
Does anyone know the extent of apps that you can make with this thing? Like, how complicated are we going to be able to get? I'd love to make a mashup of my favorite home replacements...

Yah, it's surprisingly in depth actually. So far, I've noticed there's a function which can force a text, an "activity starter" (which allows you to open apps on the phone), and basic textbox and image components, to name a few.
just got my invite about an hour and a half ago and I still cant get my phone to connect to app inventor... I tried using the custom .inf and that didnt work. it wouldnt even recognize it. i am going to use the emulator for now.
if anyone finds a working driver please upload it.
I have a question to anyone who has access to app inventor. Does anyone else's phone reboot when loading an app onto it? Also in google chrome every time I open the blocks editor it makes me download a new jar file.
AcidRoot, It's normal to download the file everytime. And I don't have problems with my Eris rebooting, but mine doesn't work with AppInventor (I was invited).
Has anyone been able to install this on their atrix?

Sent from my Atrix 4G
I have tried however no luck. It said that it cannot install. There are other folks who tried it on the XOOM, and other android phones, and so far no luck. Not sure if Skype has locked it to the Thunderbolt. Also you should consider that the Atrix is a dual core, so there might be voice and video issues anyway.
This would be great if it worked on our phones
no luck here either... hopefully we can get this working soon!

Now if we can only figure out which shared library it is, then we might be able to make something for the atrix! Just an idea.

bottom line, it will not work on any non-Thunderbolt phone running Froyo. Period. The FFC drivers are not the same.
I seem to not be able to connect to my computer from my motocast account on my phone after doing the ics leak update. Its saying i need to sign in using the same login ID and password which i have done.I have also tried to sign out and reinstall Motocast on my computer i to sign in on my computer but to no avail on the phone. Does anyone have a fix or run into the same issue as me? Thank you for reading.
Sent from my DROID RAZR using XDA
Same prob using zumocast for now.
I am having the same problem as well. Motocast worked great prior to ICS.
I never used Motocast prior to the leak. Now that I have, I haven't experienced any problems with it, whether it be pushing or pulling files.
Bright house just put out a app. for you to be able to watch your channels on your phone or tablet. My problem is when I install it , a pop up came up stating that I was rooted and that I could use this app. to be use on my phone.(I'm rooted). Any Dev out their could get a fix for this. Thanks guys all you do for us. By the way I have a Galaxy s II sprint.

i will try it and update
anyone know a work around for this problem?
I've tried some of the Hide Root apps, and so far nothing works. The brighthouse app continues to recognize the phone as being rooted. Sux

At least you got it to install, I get the message telling me that it's incompatible with my device. However, the TWC TV app (which it is likely rebranded from) installs fine. Just doesn't do much good when I have Brighthouse.
Brightouse is claiming "A rooted device does not allow us to set the permissions the LiveTv app needs to function properly".
Is this not such a bunch of crap. If their coders were worth a gain of salt they should have no problem changing or modding any permissions their app requires.
I'm guessing they are scared that rooted devices are able to record anything on the desktop. Sadly there are apps to help non-rooted devices to record the desktop too. So what would be the point of even searching for the xbin folder, which again I'm guessing that they are doing.. If this in fact what they are doing, could we add an app to rename that folder when the BH app is launched and rename it back when it closes?

Sounds like a bunch of bull****. A bit pissed that it aint working because of the stupid rooted crap. Someone has to find a way to modify the installation of this app but who will????
Thanks guys for the responds. Like everyone is saying it is a bunch of BULL****, but hopefully someone will come up for a solution to break this. By the way I started thinking why does it matter if our phones are rooted to B.H.. We pay them for service to our TV/Internet not our phones. It is not of their business what we do with our phones and if we made a decision to root, they should not block this app. to us. We pay the same amount that the person that did not root and they get to use this App.
I tried a little but the program won't get far enough along to help because usb debugging was enabled. I was using eclipse to monitor the log file while I launched the app.
There's a somewhat interesting (too much iFruit for me) discussion here http://www.dslreports.com/forum/r27195196-iPhone-Android-tablet-users-get-Bright-House-TV-App-Joy- on the subject. Looks like the reason behind the ICS only is because of DRM. Is it possible, the same reasoning was applied to devices being rooted or not?
the TWC app got a fix for rooted users, any chance there will be a rooted-compatible apk for the brighthouse app?
Wahoo!!
Got it working...
File is attached below.
Uninstall original, if installed, then install this one.
Also make sure any reference to "test-keys" in build.prop are changed to "release-keys"

Awesome.. Much appreciated!
awesome thanks!
Any chance of removing the HDMI check? Works like a charm, btw, thank you!

I got that on my touchpad when I was running a cm9 alpha, but it went away when I switched to the 6/11/12 nightly. Worked fine on that.
Hi folks,
i just googled my ass off, thinking someone must have had the same idea that I just came up with. Unfortunately to no avail.
Is it possible to run some of the stock kindle apps on other devices?
The reason I'm askin is that I just saw my dad usin his KFHD7 calendar application and I liked it better than any other calendar app I've seen for Android.
Could anyone provide me with an apk? Does the kindle even use APKs for its stock apps? My father is unfortunately not a root-guy, so I cannot get the files from him. I'd really like to try it on my Asus tablet and on my HTC One X which both have similar display resolutions.
Thank you very much in advance guys, really appreciate your efforts.:good:
EDIT, see below: Answer is No. Apps do FC instantly. Please close topic

i simply deleted all my kindle apps, not deleted, moved to sd card them all and backuped them all without anty problem, my tablet work without them, but i think they dont work for other devices
Don't know but I've zipped up a few (Calendar & Email) if you want to test them, not sure if they rely on other resources or APKs?

@persano: I'm afraid I don't really get what you're trying to bring across - are you saying you backuped your kindle-apks and could provide me with the calendar? I'm not sure...
No offence intended - might be a langauge thing...
edit: @Gilly10: Thanks, I'll try them out right away!! :good:
edit2: Jeeeezz, seems as if my provider is slowing down media fire on purpose. couldn't even load the webpage on my pc. had to use my phone to get there. now the download of 10ish mb is taking ages. i hate it. 81% and pending /rant
OK. The file finally arrived.
The good thing is: My question's answered now.
The bad thing is: The answer is 'no'.
App FCs instantly, no matter if it's installed by tapping it or if it's put into /system/app with appropriate permissions.
Tried it on an HTC OneX with a custom Jelly Bean Mod. Could install it, couldn't start it.
Tried it on an Asus Transformer TF101 with Stock ICS. Couldn't install it at all (package name already in use).
Thank you for your quick help guys!
