Since I've been eligible for an upgrade recently, I decided to upgrade from my GS3 to GS5. On GS3 I used to use Android 4.1.1 stock browser where I could save websites for offline reading. When I was upgrading to GS5, I backed all of my apps up using Titanium backup. However, I found out that stock browser isn't supported on higher version of Android anymore. Using "AOSP Browesr Installer" app on Google Play I downloaded the AOSP browser however it doesn't have that "Saved Pages" option anymore. If anyone kindly tell me how I can get those saved pages back (whether in AOSP browser or some other browser) that'll be greatly appreciated.
Any help, please?

Hi guys, I'm on Vegan-tab 5.1, and I did the full market fix(several times, and with and without the titanium backup app). I seem to be able to access more apps, but when I browse on my pc on the android market site, there are some there that don't appear on my market. In particular are the live wallpaper apps "ice galaxy" and "inferno galaxy". I've gotten these apks through other means, but it bothers me that I can't access them from my market. I can see apps like titanium backup, and firefox(which previously wasn't showing up). Did I somehow only do a partial market fix?
On another note, when I was on vegan-tab 7 gingerbread I WAS able to access these apps. Any advice on how I can see these apps on vegan 5.1?
Note: I downgraded from gingerbread because of a few problems it was causing.
My wife gave me a White Galaxy S II international version from Amazon.com for Christmas.
I first noticed this with the stock internet browser.
I am having a little problem with the podcasts section on Engadget.com. As soon as the page is near or finishes loading, the browser crashes and I'm returned to the launcher.
If I am quick enough to long press on the .MP3 link to download the podcast it crashes without the save prompt showing up and the download isn't started.
I downloaded Dolphin Browser HD and I get the same results. This is the browser I used on my Inspire 4G with no problems.
This is viewing the desktop version of Engadget.com, also with either Android or Desktop as the user agent.
I don't have trouble loading pages on other sites.
Does anyone know why this is happening?
Just tried it myself and it worked fine. Are you trying the "save link" option? You could try "download all files" application from market. I've got it installed because I've had a problem in the past.
DoubleTwist
Try downloading the app doubletwist you don't need to sync it to your computer or use air sync all you need to do them is download the item again
Hope this helps
Not to be rude but I'm looking for a solution, not a workaround.
I could just stream it from the website or the Engadget app, but I want to download the podcast from the page as I'm reading Engadget posts without starting up another app to do something I could do easily on a much simpler and lower quality phone. The building at my work tends to kill wifi and cell signals so I need to download the podcasts to listen to them.
I did have cyanogen installed on my Inspire. I wanted to see if I could use this phone without ROMs.
Thanks anyway.
download all files from market , the stock browser doesnt download all file extensions mate , that could be the reason
dolphin browser is quite useless to download files...the best one to download files are the opera mobile. i used that to download basically everything....try it...

Like I said "download all files"
Just install it then use the stock browser to download the pod cast
The stock browser and dolphin can download mp3s from other sites. My Inspire 4G running cyanogen could do it, too.
Apparently there is some code on the Engadget page that my phone doesn't like.
The browser crashes as soon as the page either finishes loading or right before it finishes. It had nothing to do with downloads.
Edit: I installed Opera Mobile as recommended above by kruznix and the page loads properly.
I'm still curious if anyone knows why this is happening.
I received my Nook Tablet for Christmas, and of course the first thing I do is root it (using Nook&Zergy). Now that I have access to the market, I ask myself"wheres all the apps?" I assume that it was the Android market filter hiding incompatible apps. So later on I try to side load and get errors. So now I just want to know how to get apps to work? I also blocked OTA's.
[In a nutshell]
What I know:
-Nook runs tweaked Gingerbread
-Honeycomb app I try to install get a parseing error when I try to install(most likely do to api's)
-Market has limited app selection.
What I want to know:
- Is it possible to get Honey comb apps to run(for example adobe touch apps, sketchbook pro hd ect...)
-Why is the android market selection so limited
-What is a parsing error?
- If you have any more advice feel free to share
Thank you!
I'm having same issue
Im having the same problem. Google maps, Evernote, Facebook all do not show up in market. When I use the browser to access the market it says these apps are incompatible. Also words with friends installs and opens but doesn't show properly, the chat window overlaps the game board so you can't see it. Is this a dpi issue? I've seen other posts that maybe dpi needs to be changed to 160. If so, How is this done?

Gingerbread can't run honeycomb apps. I have evernote and some other apps I have found through other sites, however i have not got facebook to run yet.
The apps are limited because of the fingerprint of the device, but people have spoofed the build.prop file to gain access to more of the market. See other threads.
I have facebook and twitter running on my rooted nook right now. I took the apks from my phone backups and put them in dropbox, downloaded and installed. (That was actually before I rooted) but they are working fine and the widgets work on the homescreens. I did that with all of the apps I wanted from my phone.
If this helps, I created a tutorial on how to download apps not showing up in the Marketplace.

Hi everyone,
A few days ago I got the new Facebook UI with the built-in video player+auto-play, It's very laggy (every time it auto-plays videos) and it's impossible to download the videos. I really don't know what facebook developers thought when they decided to make such a terrible update. I want to downgrade to an earlier version that still have the option to choose a video player (and download the video) and more important without the auto-play function.
How can I do it? Which version to look for?
Thanks

Depends on whether or not your phone came preloaded with Facebook. If it did, you would uninstall the update in your Settings / Applications (or Application Manager, depending on the phone) and then make sure it's not enabled to Auto Update it in the Play Store.. If it didn't come preloaded with the phone and you initially installed it from the Play Store, then go to the Settings / App section again and find out what update that is, and Google for the Facebook apk and find the newest one that isn't that one that is giving you issues.
I successfully installed older version with the old UI, but I still can't get it to pop up the video player selection :/
I dunno, I don't do Facebook really, and I have no clue which version you installed, so yea...
Have you seen this?

This is so annoying, I successfully got the video player to pop up, but after a day it stopped working. The Facebook didn't update, it's like in-app update that can't be blocked.
Use this then download messenger and freeze the messenger app using your favorite program to freeze apps like lucky patcher or android tuner. Now you can download videos and use your inbox without using that stupid messenger app. Press thanks I'd I helped you out
I bought a used - factory reset Asus prim TF201 and entered my Google account. I plan on just using it to display slideshows of travel pics using a digital photo app connected to Google Photos. For some reason I can't access Google Play. I get "server error" message and retry button but never can connect. WiFi is working as I am getting emails.
Also can't access YouTube. There i get a message "there was a problem starting up" "check your network connection and system time".
I've checked everything, cleared caches in multiple Google services, removed and reinstalled my Google account, force stopped apps, connected it to my Verizon phone wifi hotspot, changed tablet time from automatic and back again, with no success. If I can't connect to Google Play then I can't download slideshow app and Google Photos. I've tracked every thread I have found on how to fix this but no luck.
I'm communicating with seller and will likely return tablet.
Anything else to try to fix this?
Thanks

i think its FRP lock but idk i never have it
Which Android version are you using? Last official firmware (Android 4.1) is no longer supported by google. Although I use newer version on my TF201, I had similar problems with play services on some phones with Android 4.x.
Mine is stock TF201 now running 4.1.1. May I ask how difficult it is to install new version of android so that Google Play and Googl Photos will work for me? What version are you now running on your TF201. Is it something you'd be willing to talk me through?
Thanks

I use android 11 and 8
Couple of questions as I have no knowledge on how to do this.
1) Since I would want access to Google Photos and Google Play after upgrading ROM - either android 11 or 8 as you have - would these Google functions work? I thought I read on some thread that after you flash a new ROM that you lose access to these Google type functions. If that were the case how would I download various Android apps after flashing to new rom?
2) I have asked the photo slide show developer (app I use is Fotoo) if it could be sideloaded (I've never done that with an app) onto my tablet and I would just take all my Google Photos and copy them to internal storage on my tablet so Google Photos was unneeded but he hasn't responded yet.
3) Obviously it would be cleaner to flash a new ROM - 11 or 8 IF both would then access Google Plaay and Photos - but from reading the descriptions of how to do this it may be beyond my tech abilities. I guess I have nothing to lose as current tablet running 4.1.1 is not of much use since it appears I have no chance of getting it to access Play or Photos since 4.1.1 is not supported any longer by these Google service. BTW, my Gmail comes in fine on tablet though stock browser is flaky.
4) I've looked for a simple step by step procedure on how to do this but some of the XDA posts with links to the necessary files are 7 years old and the links lead nowhere. like this one

5) If you are willing to walk me through this process I'd be happy to pay you some for your efforts.
Just not sure I grasp how to do this and where to find all necessary files.
Thanks for considering.
