[Acer Iconia A500] sanaell:
simple answer

couple of APK for galaxy are using CORE framework of the galaxy tabs firmware itself

that will not be possible to just install those apk.

such as

touchwizUI

status bar overlay (I mean the minimode menu with quick access), the quick access settings...

Email and Social things

It's their "Marketing Strenght" so they didn't make it easy to be "stolen" by other brands :D

I run just the dual clock, the memo, and eReader from samsung but I am running a custom firmware so that change many things

At this moment only 1 custom firmware does use Samsung as base, Virtuous Galaxy... but I have to warn that using custom firmware without following backup steps strictly or knowing the consequence is to AVOID.
[Acer Iconia A500] xda-dev2k:
first of all, thanks for your answer, and your warn...

I'd like to go deep in the question, as you correctly affirmed, virtuous galaxy's based upon Unity v5 kernel, but virtuous picasso also lays on the same structure, doesn't it?

right now I'm running m-dj's picasso 1.1.0 rom, wouldn't be possible, with any required modification, to run elsewhere coming apks?

I mean, think about having two different pcs, both with the same hardware and the same linux distro and kernel, wouldn't seem wierd that on one pc you could run an application that won't run on the other?

I'm thinking, if they wanted to protect their components why they didn't simply wrote hardware oriented kernels? Therefore, its a fact that on my iconia I can run either a Samsung or an Asus based rom, according to this, where is the cross-platform limit? I mean, is there some sort of documentation defining which part of these Android system is "really" open, under GPL, GNU or whatever structured property info list? I can't find any browsing the net... or maybe I've found too much, its almost impossible to understand what you can and what you can't...:confused:
[Acer Iconia A500] erica_renee:
I do not know the whole answer to this question.but I do know this much.if you have any.apk application that is for sale on the market or was installed for free on any device that it was not pre installed on. I would thing it would be considered pirated. As you did not buy it.nor did the developer give permission to run the API on your device.thou some apostle you buy can be installed across the devices you have registered with Googler

if im wrong people please correct me.I just think that developers that fallow rules and write great software MUST BE PAID.
[Acer Iconia A500] sanaell:
Right and Wrong :D

if the application is a paid application and wasn't preinstalled on your tablet it is not really legal

if the application is free but cannot be installed from the market and you install it from other sources it's ok

if the application is from another tablet, and exclusively on this tablet do not expect run it on the stock firmware of your tablet, you have great chance to cannot run it simply, or get some random FC (such as from GALAXY because they use another structure on the file directory... so some application try to get the path and it's return an error, Or they are implemented and integrated with the kernel and that... you can't pass throught)

On my tablet I do run

ASUS widget

Galaxy widget (dual clock)

and some other application not from ACER.

now to get back to the OP

. you are on a virtuous... why not go on the virtuous Galaxy !!! if you want galaxy application... I don't get it...
[Acer Iconia A500] xda-dev2k:
I agree to this explanation of yours, when I flash a rom different from the original, aware that's coming from a different brand, I'm more or less conscious that I'm doing something wrong. mmmf... that's philosophy... won't lose your time ;)

The point is, I've tried the Galaxy rom, I don't like the interface, I don't like the extra bar functionalities, in short I mostly appreciated the Email.apk, most of all because it has a convenient "select all" function, even in the recycler bin (I can't stand with an email client stupid like the one embedded in the Acer version). In any case, given the impossibility to get the Galaxy Email, I'll buy a new one on the market...

Trivial Question

I have a trivial question, I am very interested in rooting using this method, however I have recently encountered an issue with my stock rom ever since I did the OTA update to 2.43.611.1 The issue is HTC Sence has stopped unexpectedly window pops up quite often & in talking to telus my provider & HTC them selves, they both say the phone needs to be repaired,

My question since I encountered the problem immediatly upon doing the OTA update should I get it repaired first or just try rooting to see if that fixes it.

Also if possible can I be pointed in the direction of how to return to stock Telus if I end up rooting & the probelm still persists?

My thanks to thoes who have diligently be working & involved in helping others & myself reach root status on higher Build numbers.

Great Work!
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JSLEnterprises:
The reason you're getting the error after the ota update is the same reason why people get issues after installing custom roms and not wiping their device... the old cache and user data conflicts with the update.

Downgrading and then flashing a custom rom along with flashing an updated radio will remedy the problem. I dont believe you'll want to use the initial radio release, I highly recommend flashing the radio from the 2.52 korean release to your Telus DHD, along with the ril's from that release and replacing the ones in the rom you will flash via cwm recovery. ENG S-OFF is required to flash a new radio or recovery img.

Once you downgrade, you can always return to the stock 2.43.661.1 rom. There is a thread in the Desire HD/Inspire 4G Forum on Driphter.com where I've placed the RUU's of common builds (especially for Telus and AT&T). If returning the device for warranty purposes, you must Radio S-On prior to Installing the stock rom via the RUU. The RUU Itself will set ENG to SHIP, and unroot.

Since you are rooted currently, you can use Titanium Backup to back up your apps. Also My Backup Root will allow you to back up apps and their data, so either one of those is an option before you try running the RUU.

They just won't. They'll work normally when on and they'll go off after so much time of idling, but when I turn off the phone it buzzes like a complete shutdown and they just won't go off.

I can't find anyone else with this problem.

That's strange for sure, I've never had that issue before. I would try removing your HTC Sense Facebook username completely and then logging back into it and let it re-sync. You may want to log out of the Facebook For Android application too if you have it installed.

On another note, if you don't have it installed, try logging out of the HTC Sense for Facebook and downloading the Facebook for Android app from the market and logging it. It should sync up fine.
