Hi all,
so there's this mobile game which has some system checks on it's APK.
Basically, it checks your mobile specs and if they're too low, it blocks you from playing the game.
Now the thing is that my mobile runs this game smooth (i was able to play before this error popped up)
and i've been looking everywhere for how to remove those system checks but i can't find anything.
I was wondering if someone has done this already with some other APK's and could kindly give me some steps about how to? I've been looking into the APK but afaik, found nothing of interesting besides some codes about checking memory, cpu etc
Otherwise on a side note, i'm also gonna pay you with PayPal if you can do the job for me (i'm serious, if you're interested PM me)

Hey guys, so me and my best friend bought Nook Tablets yesterday after seeing all the cool things that the rooted Color could do. Weve been playing around with it, and with the help of some threads here have gotten Go Launcher and all those basic apps to work like the Amazon Store and file managers and such.
Ive also got a fun game called Zombieville USA working after many attempts. However, for some reason not every apk i try installing works, and i was wondering why that is. For example, i tried for a while to get GameBoid working so i could play GBA games. It would install, then ask me to locate a bios file, which i then downloaded and got it to recognize, but after i open the actual Rom, it would run for a second and then stop.
Other apks give parsing errors, others just dont work. My friend just successfully got Fruit Ninja to work, and thats pretty much been our achievement of the hour. Were new to android and the tablet scene for that matter, but very well acquainted with jailbroken iPod Touches.
tl;dr why cant i get every app to work? Thanks for taking the time to help
Apps that don't work
One of the reasons might be that the Nook Tablet has only a subset of the hardware the typical Android Smartphone has.
No GPS, no accelerometer, etc.
Even some of the hardware it does have, like blue tooth, has no software drivers in the stock Nook operating system.
If the application you are trying to run is dependent on one of those missing resources, it may well fail. Missing libraries might be downloadable.
Your best bet will be applications known to run on the Amazon Fire, which has a comparable feature set. Rest will be try it and see.
Alright that makes sense, thanks. Ill go look around that forum then and see what i can dig up
I read the whole section forum and people are side loading uncompatible apps, but no where does anyone explain "how to" side load an app can somenoe tell me, I have apps on my Galaxy 7in and they are not compatible with the Sony S running Android 3.2.1.
I want my Amazon app store, Pinger texting, words with friends and I have others too!
This is a new toy for me but disappointed that I cannot get these apps
Any help is appreciated!
It's easiest if you have ADB knowledge so you can pull apps from the galaxy tab and push them to the tablet s, but you can get the amazon appstore by going to amazon's website and it'll email you a link to the download. Also, I have words with friends on my tablet which I downloaded from the market no problems. Maybe with the latest tablet s update it is no longer marked as compatible, in which case we'll have to wait for the ICS update for a lot of the fragmentation problems to go away.
Put the .apk file from your Tab on your sd card, then you go into a file explorer type application on the Sony to find the file. Click on it and it should ask you if you want to install.
You should be able to download the amazon app store directly from amazon.com.
Also a nice program that will backup all your settings/files/apks is MyBackup Root, which will put all the apk's in one folder. However looks like the sony still hasn't been rooted?? I'm still waiting for mine in the mail.
Thank you
I am sure some of this is out of my league but I am going to take a shot at it. This is all new to me. I am technically challenged LOL.
I am going to go get the Amazon App Store though.
Thank you for the extra help

If you use Astro File Manager (I know plenty do) on your Tab, you can use Astro's built-in App Manager to backup the apk files from every installed app to a folder on your SD Card. Then just copy this folder to your Sony like any other file, then using Astro (or some other file manager) to click on the individual apps in that folder and choose install.
I backed it up

I really am technically challenged here, I downlaoded the Astro File system, and I backed up the programs I want but I don't know where I backed them up to, it didn't give me a choice as to where to back them up.
Then I dont know how to transfer them from one device to the other. I wasn't kidding when I said technically challenged!
Thank you
Sandy
you could also save apps on a shared drive and install from there using file manager or the same via dropbox, etc
Maybe?
Maybe one of you would be willing to walk me through this procedure from beginning to end and then I will learn it, but right now it is all a mumbo jumbo to me.
We can do it through PM if we don't want to clog up the forum or maybe there is someone else who needs the same help as myself
Thank you
Sandy
Would it not be easier to just use the normal Amazon web page rather than mess about trying to get an app to install? If it's anything like the Amazon iphone app, it's pretty useless anyway - certainly nowhere near as good as using the web page.
I should explain better
I really need to text so I need a texting program that works well with at least some options. Chompsms and Handcent do not work without a phone number and getting an answer from tech support from either of those is like pulling eye teeth,(sorry)
I found a texting program on my galaxy 7 inch that works wonderful and does have some options for larger fonts, a local phone number bubbles so you know who is talking blah blah blah, it is not compatible with Android 3.2.1 which is on my new Sony tablet,
I am trying to side load that and Have no idea what I am doing,
Plus when we get ICS does that mean some of the things that are not compatible now will be when we get that update?
thank you in advance for all the help

Sorry for the slow reply. By default, the apps we be backed up to a folder called Backup on the SD card. In there, there should be your apk's.
Hope that helps
I hope this proves useful to someone, but especially noobs like myself! I've searched high and low for a a way to access and install apps that are either restricted by country (I'm in Vancouver, BC) or by device type of and up to now was only able to find references here at XDA that involve using VPN. If the following tip is already common knowledge and I somehow overlooked it, I apologize in advance.
Yesterday I ran across this article handy applet that so far has worked flawlessly for me:
Clearly I can't post URLs yet but the applet "Real APK Leacher" can be downloaded at:
www[dot]mediafire[dot]com[slash]?5vibfddvxmh98y
No need to install anything, but just unzip the DL into any new folder and run it directly from there. It does require Java Runtime Environment 1.5.0 or later. First time the tool is launched it prompts you for a DeviceID and associated account and P/W for the device. I used the DeviceID for my Galaxy S2.
(To find the DeviceID on a phone, enter [*#*#8255#*#*] (not including the brackets), and find the lines that begin with "JID="and "DeviceID-".
When I first ran the tool, I ran a search and got no results.. Found that the trick is to enter the search term(s) and then select the "custom" radio button. I've used the tool to successfully DL and install 1) Google Currents, 2) Onlive Desktop, 3) USAA Mobile Banking, 4) HBO GO, 5) Canada Post App, 6) UPS app, 7) Fedex 8) Hulu+ 9) all Amazon apps, 10) Realtor.ca, and many others. Till now I haven't run across any app I wanted that I haven't been able to install using the tool. Hope you have as much luck as I have with it.
After downloading the APKs to your computer desktop, simply transfer to the Prime via you're method of choice and install.

And how do you propose we do that on our tablets?

I tried to be as detailed as possible in my post (it was late, I was tired, perhaps I wasn't) which is why I went to the trouble of pointing out how I used my smartphone (the GS2) to carry out the procedure myself. I certainly don't claim to know exactly how the tool works behind the scenes, but I think it most likely needs to "fool" the source it accesses to DL the requested APKs into thinking the DL request is coming from a phone rather than a tablet.
In any case, there are probably many ways in which to retrieve a DeviceID. The method I went to the trouble of describing just happens to be the only way that I know how to do so. If you know of another... GREAT... use it. If not, then well, I think anyone frequenting these forums is probably clever enough to figure out/search for other ways.
In this day and age, I don't think that there are many tablet owners out there that don't also own or have access to a phone as well. In light of this fact, I assumed (perhaps unwisely) that readers of this thread don't require the same level of handholding/specificity that less tech-savvy members of the population might.
For those who've found other work-arounds to achieve the same end and are happy with their method, well, this post isn't meant for you. For others, like me, who've been seeking a simpler way, I truly hope you find the tool as useful as I have.

Just googled the tool and seems it's getting quite a bit of attention; certainly not unknown. Favourable reviews/mentions from well known and respected sites. I In fact, I seems like someone here at XDA beat me to the punch in extolling its virtues ... found link to an active thread in the General Section.
While there are ways to check out executables of questionable provenance (particularly a Java applet on a PC) without endangering/in a secure environment, particularly when link to said executable comes from a noob poster such as myself, you are wise indeed to be cautious! For the adventurous among you, check it out at your own risk.
Searching on "real apk leecher" (note the correct spelling), it looks like this tool came out a week ago. It wants your email acct, password, and device ID. At least to start out.
From the screenshot, the apparent dev, Nhat Cuong Mobile, is a Vietnamese outfit with website here: http://nhatcuong.vn/. However, it's a mobile phone sales & repair site, and I can't find any info on software development (I can speak Viet).
If you do try this out, be extremely wary.
If you're rooted try Market Enabler (in the market), change to code to whatever network in whatever country, force close the market app (drag it to App info, and force close from there), then open it again, and voila Access to all the apps you couldn't access before.

Will the Market Enabler app also open apps that are device specific? I. E., phone-only apps for tablets?
Im looking to use an old phone (Nexus 6 or S3) as a camera stream and i found an app that makes that part pretty easy 'IP Webcam'
The part im curious about is how to setup the phone. I dont really want to use my account because it will likely want to pull down other crap. Is it recommended to create a new google account or is there a config setup for using your own?
Rom wise is there anything out there that will help with stuff like the screen (fairly certain it will only work while the screen is on) so i can configure it to always stay on, but is there some way to handle that too?
I found JanOS which looks really interesting but neither phone is support and im concerned that getting the 'IP Webcam' app on there might be tough (finding no mention of the play store/google apps)
Just looking to see if there is anything specific for using an old phone as an IOT device with play store apps.
Yesterday I downloaded an apk from this thread https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=714116, I thought it should be relatively safe as it was from 2010 and no one said anything in that thread regarding it, but as soon as I installed it I received a confirmation code from Google for authentication on another phone as this wasn't my main phone.
The apk I downloaded was the one posted by "kokenjr" on 18th October 2010, the 5th reply on that page, for "extracting the full shazam database of tags".
Could anyone investigate that apk and see what is actually inside it? I didn't know it was possible for it to get the password for the account on the phone, but it seems it instantly got it and sent it somewhere and a login was immediately attempted. And a lot of people downloaded that apk. I tried scanning the file online for viruses but it returned nothing so I think it may be something undetected.
Also what was strange is that I received a Duo voice call about half an hour later from "[email protected]" which I'm fairly confident is related to this as I never received duo calls from unknown sources.
Another question I would have is, should a factory reset of the phone clear it out or could it still be there? Also, if someone investigates it, I'm interested in what it was able to do and if I should be worried about it getting in the google cloud stuff.
I'm not really sure how severe this virus is, but as it's still there on the page and someone is listening and trying to hack accounts with it and maybe many others, someone should look into it
Thank you very much
p.s. I used this account to post as I created it a long while ago to download something from here.
@Thisthename
I looked inside the APK
The app in question is just a SQLite database viewer: the database it works on is stored as
/data/data/com.shazam.android/databases/library.db - I think

@jwoegerbauer I really don't expect the cause to be anything else, as I mentioned above, the minute I saved the app on the phone and installed it, that is when I received the Google verification code and I didn't do anything regarding my google account or something like that, only browsing some websites to see how to extract the shazam tags, nothing shady and nothing else that I think could have an impact on this. And the coincidence is just insane.
Also, technically, even if it was something a factory reset should have most likely solved it right?
