Hi
Has anyone tried changing the build prop to htc one m8 so sky go works on the one max ?
Really want to try this but unsure if what to change in the build prop :-[

Someone has on the sky forum
I had a similar issue regarding a device made by a different company. Firstly I had a device with a 5.2inch screen which was supported by skygo and now I own a similar device made by the same company, with almost identical specs, apart from a 5.9inch screen which is, unfortunately, not supported by skygo.(the device not the screen)
Rather than start another thread like this and spend months listening to people claiming that sky will have to develop the app further to support my device, I simply amended my build prop to spoof the identity of my earliar device, un-rooted it and started watching my sky on the go.
Why anybody endeavours to humour the <REMOVED> that is fed to us regarding the development of this app for certain devices is completely beyond me and I only possess a very small ammount of sense. :smileywink:
R u able to upload your build prop sky app for us all to use

Google doesn't need people porting it directly to Phones, this will harm the sales of Honey tablets...That's why ICS will unite tabs and phones.
I understand they do not want it on phones, But there are some decent tablets out there suffering the lack of sourcecode.
Also I recently noticed a flat out lack of any roms for a certain device

Perhaps ICS will be available for tabs and will run on the ones that currently have no honey support. But once they release it, devs can port it to phones, and they only want it on tabs, specifically the dual core ones.
It is a shame, The original Galaxy Tab was a wonderful device, Altho as a large phone it looks ugly as sin, Running honeycomb however, It certainly looks nice between the transformer and new tab 10.1 and 8.9

Anyone know how many Arias were sold and any estimates for how many may still be in use? Just wandering about what the market is for continuing the rom upgrade work for this phone.

I have a one x now but just flashed winsuks cm9 port Rom. I still play with it and will use as a back up phone but lately its my toddlers mp3 player/princess game device lol

I still use it as my main phone. I flashed munjenis cm9 ROM which is working great for me. I just bought it two months before the Desire C came out, so I want to keep using it for at least one year. Maybe then something better comes up, who knows?

I got it in the beginning of the year, so just like dansou901 I wanna keep it for a while. I love this phone and I hope it gets support for a little longer.
This is an awesome phone for my first Android!
You're right, it's awesome, but it is only Arm v6, so it won't be compatible to newer software...
Sent from my Liberty using xda premium
I just like the small size and it's elegant design. I am also impressed with how the rom developers have been able to keep it current with ICS and now JB. And particularly how other developers have overcome the memory limitations with programs like S2E. Just what is the appeal of a 5" screen?
Sent from my Aria using xda app-developers app
I still have 2 Aria's, one with CM7 and the other with CM9. I love what I think is the prefect size of these phones. It's too bad HTC hasn't built another similar sized phone with more memory and processor power.
The Play Store lists GTA: Vice City as not compatible with my LG-E970. Yet, GTA: III is compatible, and Vice City is even it is compatible with my Acer A500 with a measly Tegra 2. I can't for the life of me understand why this game wouldn't be compatible with the OG.
Anyone have any insight into this?
Not sure either. My tegra2 will play Sims 3 but my LGOG won't /:
I think it's the company that releases the apps. They probably block certain devices. Not sure why though

The most confusing thing about this is that it's compatible with the Nexus 4 ! It's literally the exact same hardware, creating a port seems like an extremely easy task for Rockstar to do. Perhaps LG has to communicate with the publishers, regardless it's very disappointing to know that my superior phone can't run the same games my friends can for no valid reason.
Anyone think a build.prop edit would change that problem?
This is the email I got from rockstar last week
Hello Xorrito,
We apologize for the long response time on your support ticket.
Unfortunately your device is currently not officially supported. A list of officially supported devices can be found at
Due to the number of devices currently on the market, it is difficult to verify the compatibility of all devices. We are currently in the process of testing new devices, and will make GTA available for download to these devices when testing is confirmed as working properly.
We recommend staying tuned to this article and official Rockstar Games press releases such as rockstargames.com/newswire for the definitive updated list of supported devices. This way you will be alerted if your device does become officially supported in the future.
We apologize for this inconvenience and if you have any further questions, comments or concerns feel free to contact us and we will be happy to help in any way we possibly can.
Cheers,
Brad

at&t optimus g phone not supported aka AT&T LGE LG-E970
How come this phone is not supported while the nexus 4 is?
They have the same hardware.....:{
Xorro78, thanks for sharing that email. It's kind of weird Rockstar wouldn't test the comparability with our flagship phone. Hopefully soon.
MrZim4, if you try a build.prop edit please let us know the outcome. I'm guessing it'll work as long as it tricks the Play Store into thinking the OG is an N4.

Have you tried changing build.prop to a different or similar LG or another android phone/tablet that is compatible with this game that also has similar hardware I would almost bet the dual core snap dragon android phones will work just edit the device name in build.prop unfortunately they don't update the device compatibility fast enough per app/game but this mod should work, it has in the past say for example to play certain games on the HTC one x I had to change device name to replicate another android I think the HTC one s and compatibility issue went away in market. I'm actually looking to do this for gameloft live which lol is not compatible with this device but will work.

If you really want to get GTA VC working you'll have to download the apk and sd data from a 3rd party site. I've tested this and it works fine. Only do this if you have previously purchased GTA VC on the Google market.

Stplerz, that's a good idea. I'll buy it on my A500, and look for a 3rd party site to dl the apk afterwards.

Glad to help.
And for the sake of others please don't take this the wrong way! Devs spend days and days developing apps.. Don't F them over..

Agreed. Which is why I never pirate these apps. It's much more fun to find a legitimate work-around.
Yes! GTA 3 works in LGOG whit build.prop edited to nexus 4.

Purchase and install it on your A500 then pull the apk from /data/app and the obb folder from internalstorage/Android/obb and copy them to your phone in the corresponding folders. I think the asec file might be needed, too.

I'm in the UK and got my one max on day of release and i have say I have become more and more frustrated with it. I love watching my movies and decided to get some ultraviolet movies, the only app in the UK that plays them here is flixster, which is not compatible. I am a sky customer and I can't use sky go because it's not compatible. I can't download from BBC iPlayer because its not compatible and its the same issue on and on. My old s4 which my partner has plays it all, and even my son's kobo arc. Come on devs and HTC sort this out

I feel your pain pal.
I excepted it with my butterfly s as it's not a phone released in the UK but I don't expect this from the max. The 2 apps th I am mising most a're sky go and gta San Andreas. I think we will have to wait and see if sky update their sky go app. Watching the footy on the max will be awesome. Although I disagree with you that the fault lies with HTC.
I think it's the app developers that need to to be told.
Here's hoping it gets sorted soon.

Can't you guys just side load it or do a mod/hack? i am not in the UK and i don't know what exactly is preventing you to do that, but i guess it can be fixed using mods - example - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1839871
Searching on the forum ( HTC one forums) might take you nearer to what you want.
I can help you out with San Andreas if you like had it running on my max

Not htc. Must be country specific. I have san andreas available to install on my verizon Max running stock.
