I know a while ago when we first found out that we couldnt watch movies from the market on rooted devices someone managed to get it working. Did we ever figure out how?
Anybody know what that one website is called? It's like "let me show you how to google that" or "teach me how to google that" or something?

I have the new market. So, just put this apk on root of SD card and install? This will install over existing Market?

Yes, just throw it on an SD card and install.
It doesn't install over top of the full Market, just the Video portion of the Market.
http://mktg.getjar.com/getjargoldcatalogue.html
Includes Beautiful Widgets, Unlock with WiFi, BeWeather Pro, Smart Office, Tapatalk, Paper Camera and games like Fruit Ninja HD, Age of Zombies, Samurai 2: Vengeance and Backbreaker, just to name a few.
You will need the GetJar app installed to download.
edit: my mistake. Didn't click on link.
thanks for post!

I didn't think this was piracy, they are running a promotion. If it is, I can take it down.
its not promotion..Its the new way to make money off paid by giving it for free......developed by Getjar....its not piracy at all,I dont know how it works....I downloaded BW from there long time ago and still running rock solid...
Guys, this is not piracy, it's a new "Gold App Sale" by Getjar. There's some great apps in there too!
the only thing i cant get to download on the TP is Tapatalk
edit: anyone know a quick download code?
Seems like some cool apps here not sure how to get them on the touchpad though as it doesn't seem to be a supported device.. Any ideas? Where do I get the getjar app I don't see it on their page anywhere...
use the default android browser and make sure you have it set to mobile. when you browse to http://m.getjar.com it will auto download the apk and you can install that way

Same here, get the message "no compatible downloads for unknown android 2.3"
Sent from my Touchpad using xda premium
I was able to get Tapatalk, although it gave me an error the first time I tried.
I was also having issues downloading at first using Dolphin browser, but using the stock browser it worked just fine. The first time I tried to DL an app, it said I needed GetJar and linked me to the file.
do you think you can use your PC browser and the quick download code and post it here? what device do you have it set to? I'm currently set on "Free Download".

Love the folks that cry piracy w/o FIRST checking the link. Stop policing unless you're a mod.
so.... how they make money on such promotions "paid for free"?
those apps are modified or all-the-same like orginal android market versions?

they're different in the fact that they are currently updated very slowly... getjar just made it available to have developers push their updates... before, you had to know there was an update and redownload the app... i got my first push yesterday, so i see it's working
getjar makes money by sponsors... you'll see them throughout the site
Same problem as other, when i search/enter the code for the app (in my case it's Tweetcaster Pro, Tapatalk and Splashtop Remote Desktop) i get the "no compatible version for my device" text which is ridiculous because i have a Captivate and the Android Market shows those apps just fine. Any ideas? Can someone post the .apk i mean if they are free its not illegal right? And also if i get the .apk, will it update automatically when with the new push system from GetJar?

Thanks, it only worked for Splashtop, TweetCaster Pro and Tapatalk keep saying the device is not compatible i mean wtf!?!? I tried with GS II and Galaxy Nexus and both say not compatible. Anyone that has already downloaded Tapatalk from the GetJar app can tell me the device they are using and the name code so i can modify the Build.prop and download the app.
ro.product.model=GT-i9100
ro.product.brand=samsung
it has worked with everything in getjar... i have a crash here and there but they all have downloaded...
if you've changed this... reboot... it took awhile for google's android market to see the change... i probably restarted 3 times... even went into webos once and back to cm7...
the only thing i've had a problem with working at all (it did download) is Advanced Task Manager
i get:
Sorry! The application Advance Task Manager (process con.arron.taskManager) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again.
edit:
just tried another app... Aces Jewel Hunt downloaded and installed but closes right after the splash screen opens
Yhea i tried with that. i wasn't able to download the Splashtop before changing the build.prop and after changing that and rebooting i could. But i couldn't download the other two apps, i mean i even tried going on the browser to getjar.com and changed my device to the i9100 and even there i can't seem to get the code for the download because i get the same message that my device isn't compatible and im talking about the PC browser. Im gonna change again to the i9100 on the phone and wait a day or so and try again from the app, i don't understand why i have to do all this the app should be compatible.
Thanks again for the suggestions though

I myself have just created an account but at first login it's 5GB. And the second. Damn :-/ (using it on my MB526)

Cheers!
thanks dude. it works.
For everyone: do as the steps say. im enjoying my 50GB!!

I think you have to set the manufacturer to "LGE", not "LG". Here's a quick tutorial:
First, install the Box app from the Market and create a free account. (You'll get 5 GB of free space already.)
Next, find the build.prop file on your phone's internal memory. (On some ROMs, it may be in the root directory; for me, it was in the "system" folder). Copy the file to your SD card and also make an extra copy of it for backup. Long-press one of those copies and select "Open As," choose "Text," and open it. Look for the line that says
ro.product.manufacturer=Motorola
and change it to
ro.product.manufacturer=LGE
Also find the line that says
ro.product.model=MB525
and change it to
ro.product.model=VS910 4G
Save the edited file, then use a root-enabled file explorer (like ES File Explorer) to copy your edited "build.prop" file from your SD card and paste it back where you got it in the system folder of the phone's internal memory, overwriting the original file. Then reboot the phone, log into your Box app again, and you should see a message saying you've been upgraded to a 50GB account.
Then copy the backed-up (non-edited) version of your build.prop file and paste it back in the system folder (the same way you did with the edited version), and reboot the phone again. Your phone is now back to normal (and all your apps, etc. will correctly recognize it as a Motorola DEFY), but you'll still have your 50GB of free space!
Thanks. It's work.

OK, someone please enlighten me: is this service for file sharing or file stealing? How do they guard against copyrighted material being "exchanged"?
OK, I called Box and spoke with customer service and they claim they are not just another version of MegaUpload but have, apparently, 100% zero checks in place to prevent IP theft. They said, however, they are going to "shoot my question upstairs" and get back to me.
tHANK YOU!
nice
Nice one thanks for the heads up
that's cool, working and its great
thanks
Still works.
Got a Headache? It's all in your Head.
thanks, i signed for that account and got 50Gb, but soon deleted it because i liked more minus, i liked it more i dont have as many limits as in box.com
I use box its cool

Well, since it was a promotion from Box (install their app within a certain period and get automatically 50GBs for life) I made an account too. The good news is that Titanium Backup Pro got updated a few days ago with support for Box syncing (so those 50GBs make sense now, despite the user being limited to max. 100MB files).
Not really a problem

So I noticed, that Samurai vs Zombies Defence is free today, I tried downloading and it would not let me download saying its incompatible, there are couple other apps which are known to be compatible but the app store wont let you download it, I googled and noticed there is way to change the buid properties, which lets you download any app.
These are changes to build.prop file and they worked for me, I have tested it on my note and I would request someone else willing to take a risk and test this.
Requirements
1.) Phone should be rooted
So first step is to kill the Google Play App and clear data from
Settings > Applications > Manage Applications > All > Google Play Store > Clear Data.
After this open Root Explorer and goto
System> build.prop
Now I'd suggest making a back up and keep it in the sd card, (if your using Root Explorer it will also make a backup)
In case system is not Mounted as R/W do so in root explorer from the top right hand side.
Edit the file and look for
ro.product.model =
and change it to
ro.product.model = SAMSUNG-Galaxy Nexus
In the orginial article this was changed to Nexus S, I tried that, but it dint work for my phone.
Before anyone use it, I'd request a brave soul to try this, I dont think this is big deal but some testing would help.
Thanks!

Having established that Google has NFI what's compatible with my device, I'm pretty keen to perform this hack (I have a Galaxy Mini; I guess I should call it a Galaxy S or something?)...
Only trouble is, I see Root Explorer is a paid app. Is ES File Explorer (or another free app) able to remount read-only partitions as R/W?
I can't find any documentation to help me understand its interface.
EDIT: never mind, found it in the options : )
Hi, I have a Rooted Bell Samsung Galaxy Note SGH I7i7M and had the same problem when trying to download the sixaxis controller app.

I can download it from the Play Store, but when I open it...it states this app is not blah, blah, blah your country...then closes. I'm using Collective's Unofficial 1.5. It does the same thing when I sideload the apk as well. No search has yielded positive results.

Your issue is probably not device name but:
ro.product.locale.region=xx
Change it to the region of that app. Reboot your phone and try again.
I was just curious if anyone has looked into rooting / unlocking the Oregon Scientific Meep tablet for kids? I havent seen a post on it, but would like to know if anyone had looked at it and how easy/difficult it would be.
Thank you.
Me too, the launcher sucks for kids.
Yep i would like too...

I think their servers are down. Because the website is a error fest when trying to set it up.
Meep! is already rooted
In still trying open Google play on it.... But can you install a different launcher?

If anyone figures out how to root this PITA let me know please. My family is technologically challenged and I help them with their tech problems. This meep is something only an overprotective mother can see any good qualities in. You can't even look at it without it being logged and sent to the parent control panel, which has been bugged out and half working every time I try to use it. Anyway, I guess my point is that I want to root it and make a proper tablet out of it. Until then, I suppose I will try to convince my family to return the damn thing and get my little sister a Nexus 7 instead.
I found it out by accident. Just install super su and some app which relies on root, I installed titanium backup and it works.
I also installed nova launcher and its also working. For app market, you can try and install root explorer and change permissions.
This could work, but since this tablet is for my little daughter, I am not interested in using market on meep.
he guys, keep in mind, this tablet is for your kids. let them play on it, not you!

I might have to go through with the process later, it would seem that there is yet another problem (big freakin surprise there). I did a factory reset and i may have to log into my sister's google play account again, the only problem is the only way i know of to open google play is to use the parent control thing to do it, and that is not working. I'd call support and ask about it, but honestly i've read all over the internet that they will just put you on hold and hang up on you.
