[APP] Sky Online - how to extend compatibility to smartphone? - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi everybody.
I'm writing from Italy.
Here we have the tv provider SKY.
There is an Android app for the users that is call SkyGo and it is compatible only with some device. But on the internet you can find the "modded version" of this apk that can run on every device ( tablet and smartphone). So there is a person that modded this app and released it for the community, but i don't know who is this person.
This italian tv provider lauched an online streaming service that is called "Sky Online". It offers some Live channels and different contents on-demand. I'm an user of this service and i love it because you can choice what you want to see and pay for it, month by month.
They released the Android app only for Samsung Tablet ( NO smartphone). And they said that for the moment, they will not release the app for the smartphone. You can find it here: http://apps.samsung.com/venus/topAp...|@tot=863|@idx=0|@doc=G00020657218|@title=nil because it isn't on the Play Store.
Someone posted the apk on internet and i tried it on a HP Slate 8 Pro and it works. Other users tested it with other tablets and it works.
I'm not a developer, and my question is. Someone can decompile, modify, and recompile the APK to work with smartphone? Because if you install it on a smartphone, when you launch the app you receive a error.
My purpose is to use the service that i pay, everywhere i will be. On my smartphone.
If anyone want to help me, I attached the apk of the app.

I'll up the thread because the mod of the forum sposted it in the right section and so, you can see it in this section.
I very appreciate if anyone can help me. :good:

If you have a rooted device, you could try to change LCD Density (screen dimensions) by using exposed app settings module.
You can find the thread on this forum or search in italian pages for "xposed framework" "app setting".

[Q] Implementing a proxy to download Apps from Google Play

Alright ladies and gents,
I am a galaxy s III owner so I thought I'd ask this question here.
Is there any way to implement a proxy(ie getting a fake ip address) to download apps from google play?
The thing is, Youtube and other google addresses are blocked in my country for the time being, and I feel like my phone is useless. And I, due to the sophisticated nature of this forum, am unable to describe my feelings properly (you know what I mean).
So if anyone, with any information steps forward, I salute you. and otherwise too but just a little bit less
Thanks in advance
Hi,
You can search for "Market enabler" on Google (app removed from the Play Store).
Or here on Google+: https://plus.google.com/110853353138524936530
Or in the general Android section (maybe in Android apps and games) if I remember right there is some mods or a modified Play Store that allow what you want. You'll fint that with a little search.

Thanks loads Viking, I hadn't imagined market enabler could do that Ill try it out
Edit - Sorry, haven't rooted my phone yet :s so market enabler not working Thanks anyways
market enabler won,t do anything buddy, i already suggested the solution in the q&a thread, let me share again.
Download "Hotspot shield vpn" from google, install it and start protection. As soon as you are done, you can use gmail, playstore and even youtube. Try it, it will work, enjoy and forget today,s defeat

Missing out (again) on Device compatibility. Virgin TV Anywhere (UK)

I see the Ultra is not supported for this App. Disappointing considering we still can't download with Iplayer.......
Devices which can use Anywhere app
Sony Xperia L (C2105)
Sony Xperia SP (C5302/03/06)
Sony Xperia Z (C6602/03)
Sony Xperia Z1 (C6902/03/06/43)
Sony Xperia U (ST25)
It's Virgin's responsibility to update their app. Send them a mail and ask if they can update it.
The Ultra is missed by a lot of developers. I've had a good response rate from developers and they have all said that they acknowledge the issue and will get an update done.
Sent from my C6833 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
They have only just added any Android support - took them ages. Use the "Contact Us" form on their website to request it to be added, that's what I've done.
If you are rooted there uses a module for xposed called play store fixes which tricks it into thinking the dpi of the phone is different.

I don't believe it's a DPI issue, it's model.
Answer from Virgin Media, not good news:
Thanks for your e-mail to Virgin Media about the availability of the
Sony Xperia Z Ultra on TV Anywhere.
We understand your concern.
Right now, we're sorry but it doesn't look like we've got any plans to
add Sony Xperia Z Ultra on TV Anywhere App. We're always working with
the providers to bring our customers even more choice on Virgin TV, so
keep your eyes peeled! And check out www.virginmedia.com for the latest
stuff.

I don't see why there's a problem, there are many android devices with the same screen resolution and processor.
I would try one of the market helper apps, or xposed, to make Google Play think you're on a recognised device. I had to do this with previous phone, Note 2, to load the tesco clubcard TV app.

Doesn't the phone have to be rooted to use xposed? If so, then the app won't work anyway on rooted devices according to the comments in the store
A late reply but I have a One X which is also not supported. I used Device Spoofer to make my device appear as the HTC One. I was able to download and install the app from the market. In addition the app's record, remote control and program manager functions work perfectly however the ability to watch programs on the phone is blocked by a root checker.

Virgin say you can use those features of the app from any android phone.

You can only install the app on an approved device though (officially). The TVguide app has record functions but it doesn't have have network remote features.
Why do they do a root check? You can use the software on any PC, with whatever hacks you want installed, but there's some obsession with root on Android...

[Q] How to open a support ticket to google?

Hi guys,
I have created a tiny app to automate my phone (a Samsung Galaxy S4) to do a simple task of my daily basics needs.
Basically it turns ON and OFF the bluetooth radio of my phone when I drive my car so it connects to the hands-free device of my car.
The application works great on my Android 4.3 device, however on Android 4.4 (KitKat) it doesn't work because it uses Google Play Services API for driving recognition and they (google) seemed to have changed the API on KitKat!
So my question is, can someone help me open a ticket to google to question about that changes on the API?
Google only allows tickets from anyone with one of Google Apps for Business, Education, Government, or Nonprofit accounts!
BTW: The app is named "bluetooth drive link" and is available at Google Play -> https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ferfig.bluetoothdrivelinkdemo
Anyone?!

So this is what they said (loosely translated from Mandarin) :
"To comply with government rules on telecommunication and smart device usage and information handling, we can not provide or develop support for Google Play and associated services. Please understand. We appreciate your love for our devices."
Yayy

Asking them is useless to be honest they wouldn't know. They would tell you to consult with their repair center for further instructions. So i wouldn't take their word. We will be able to install Google services but it will take some time.
Is there an update on this matter?
My ROG phone (CN import) is about to arrive, and not being able to install Google Play Services etc. on it would be a big issue for me. With all my previous chinese phones (Huawei, Smartisan, Vivo NEX, etc) I have been able to somehow work around it through APK's or flashing, but this doesn't seem to work with this ASUS phone, correct?
Can anyone confirm what has been tried and failed?
Thanks a lot in advance for your support and input.

Every Google installer 2 & 3 (chinese & english version) have been tried. Also installing all the required Google apks individually has also been tried, none of them work. A representative from Asus has confirmed that the current software version doesn't support Google services and we will have to wait for the next update which will support Google services as promised. Check my previous post with the links to Asus ROG phone forum there you will find the Asus representative feedback.

Hi all,
Did anyone make any progress on this?
On my end I'm contsantly checking and posting on the official ASUS Zenforums (China), but no luck so far.
I'm getting quite desperate, as this 1000$+ phone is currently rather useless to me.

Patience is a virtue!. I suspect we will be getting Google services working properly with the next major update(Android Pie 9.0). Personally I have migrated from using Google apps and found alternatives.
You could use Nox on your PC, add your Google account to the VM, install your app, extract the apk, copy to your phone, then install the app there.

Mmh, sorry for asking redundant questions, but how would this work?
It seems the issue is that the CN ROG phone doesn't support Google Framework, no APK's have worked so far. Other, none-GF apps run fine.
Would your method somehow cirumvent this issue, and would I be able to install Google Play and its related services on this phone?
Thanks a lot for your time and support.
This would make it so you could just side load the apps.

Actually Google maps(without account login) & translate work fine without Google framework I have them installed on my device.
If you need all Google apps to work on your device there is a way for that but they wouldn't be working directly instead through an Emulator installed on the device. PM me if you need the instructions.
Otherwise if you need a good Google playstore replacement I would recommend "yalp store" & "aptoide" or apk mirror website.

To be honest, if you want to use Google Apps, dont get a CN device. You will save yourself from wasting time, and severe headaches. The model in HKG will support Google Apps out of the box. I am getting mine this weekend. I got a Huawei Tablet from CN, and never again will I get a CN device of any sort.

Hi !
I will be more than glad if you could please email me the instructions to use ROG CN version with Google Play Store and Apps as you wrote in your post:
Will this enable me to use/sync Google Contacts & calendar ?
