“Extensions come to Opera Mobile”

So I decided to do a search today to see if there was a way to enable extensions on Opera Mobile. In a stroke of luck, I just happened to find a post made today in the Opera dev site that has a link to a build of Opera Mobile 12 with support for extensions.

It has been working well on my Motorola Xoom 4G.

Link to apk:

http://www.opera.com/download/get.pl?id=34585&sub=true&nothanks=yes&location=360

Link to the article:

http://dev.opera.com/articles/view/extensions-opera-mobile-labs/

Tips:

To transfer and back up your Opera bookmarks without the need of Opera Link:

Requirements: Must be rooted!

Transfer Bookmarks from Opera Mobile 12 to Opera Mobile 12 w/Extension:

Use Rootexplorer to copy the “all” file from “/data/data/com.opera.browser/opera/etc/2/” to “/data/data/com.opera.browser.extensions/opera/etc/2/”

Backup Bookmarks from Opera Mobile 12 or Opera Mobile 12 w/Extension:

Use Rootexplorer to copy the “all” file from “/data/data/com.opera.browser/opera/etc/2/” or “/data/data/com.opera.browser.extensions/opera/etc/2/” to a desired location on you Sd Card of eternal storage.

Extra:

Here is a list of extensions that I have installed to improve my browsing experience.

Ghostery: block scripts from companies that you don't trust, delete local shared objects, and even block images and iframes.

WOT: shows you which websites people trust for safe surfing, shopping and searching on the web.

NoAds: Extension blocks external scripts, specific global script functions and variables, elements of a page

ContentBlockHelper (English): block any elements by CSS selector rules and more automatically.

SaveFrom.net helper: Helps you to download files.

Further Customization:

My 4g signal won't go away even if I activated wifi... I closed out my account with task manager but it is still shown... how could I fix this?

Try freezing it in Titanium. Thats all I got. Good luck.

Try looking at your logcat or posting it and maybe someone can help you if you don't know what you're looking at.

To log warnings, errors and fatal exceptions use something like

adb logcat *:W > %userprofile%\desktop\logcat.txt

Or if you only want errors and fatal

adb logcat *:E > %userprofile%\desktop\logcat.txt

You would type that into the command prompt from your folder where ADB is located and it will save the log on your desktop. It will record until the usb from the phone is disconnected so try toggling a couple times and such and see what it says.

Not working for me. Getting a parsing error
[Android Apps and Games] quorn23:
Parsing error? Where? Did you follow the installation steps?
[Android Apps and Games] fitz420:
Yes, but I used root explorer. Should I use adb
[Android Apps and Games] fitz420:
I downloaded using tapatalk numerous times. The apk is only 554 bytes. Obviously that's the problem. I will jump on a PC and see...
[Android Apps and Games] quorn23:
Well yes and no, to answer your question you can use root explorer. just make sure you set it to read/write and set the permissions right.
[Android Apps and Games] fitz420:
Still 554 bytes when downloaded from browser

I added an additional version of the market that includes a patch to remove restrictions placed on applications by the market.

1) Removes device compatibility check so all applications are visible to your device

2) Removes restrictions places on certain applications by specific countries. If the country you live in blocks a specific application in your market, then it should now be visible.

Credits to L.D.B. for the "no restrictions" patch.
[Android Apps and Games] Eddie1506:
This does not work. I already tested this exact patch, and while apps are visible in Market app, they cannot be downloaded, as additional checks are being done server side.
[Android Apps and Games] Tsjoklat:
I wonder if this could work in conjunction with a tor proxy.
[Android Apps and Games] Eddie1506:
Suppose so. But for me, the solution is running Android Market 2.3.6 on ICS as it does not do IP checks, only SIM operator check. I hacked it to report to servers that my SIM card is from USA, so no need for Market Enabler, it just works.
[Android Apps and Games] famewolf:
I have a device that has not yet been rooted (without hardware modifications).....is there a way to install the google play store (it comes with old market) and still use the feature where it ignores device incompatiblity? I find it tells me alot of my apps are incompatible even if I know they work.

Hey google...here's a clue...if the app is already INSTALLED on the device odds are it works.
[Android Apps and Games] lohtse:
Mines rooted and still get same incompat issue even when previous ver installed!

Anyway is there to be an updated market version?
[Android Apps and Games] famewolf:
Did you uninstall updates to the app like the directions say? Did you remount the system partition to made it r/w instead of read only? It worked fine on all 4 of my rooted devices and I installed apps that previously failed except through sideloading.
[Android Apps and Games] Tsjoklat:
As of today, the latest version of the Android Market (Play Store) is v3.5.16. But, I had chosen v3.4.7 because I wanted a version that is fully functional with Titanium Backup. If you want to add the "no restriction" patch to the latest version of the Android Market (v3.5.16), then this is what the changes will look like (slightly different than with v3.4.7):

I have added Vending.3.5.16.noupdate.norestrictions-signed to the first page. A modified version of the Android market with this "no restrictions" patch can already be found on various other webpages, but the version found in this thread has also the self-update feature disabled. The modified versions can not self-update because the signing keys no longer match the original, so we might as well prevent it from trying and downloading the updates that will not apply anyway.
[Android Apps and Games] famewolf:
So should I assume my attempt to install a version of google play store where practically everything is NOT listed as incompatible on my NON rooted device is hopeless by your lack of response? The logitech revue runs on honeycomb 3.1 and originally comes with market...it was later upgraded to google play. Your versions of course fail to install. Is it possible to apply your fixes to the version I am attaching to this post while keeping signatures so it will work as an install? This is the apk of the version that it was upgraded to. Thank you for your time.
[Android Apps and Games] Tsjoklat:
I'm afraid that root is going to be necessary. When I make changes to an apk, I have to resign it (but I don't have the original keys). Since the modified apk is now signed with a different signature than the original, it can not be installed on top of the original. Therefore, you will need to have root access to replace the original apk with the modified version (since the signature keys no longer match).

The file you uploaded is only 554 bytes in size. That seems to not be correct. There seems to be problems uploading files to XDA lately. Also, make sure the files are not odexed (the apk must contain a classes.dex in order to be modified).
[Android Apps and Games] famewolf:
the logitech revue has not yet been rooted without some rather drastic hardware modifications so I guess for now I'm stuck. Thanks for the reply.
[Android Apps and Games] danlivesey:
Can you suggest one for my xperia s? I tried the apk no update no Sig 20 and cleared data but I need no restrictions as well as no apps are compatible in the market when I use this apk . Thanks

Edit sorry found the no res apk and now it says item you are purchasing cannot be found
[Android Apps and Games] Tsjoklat:
From viewing the Xperia S device specifications, the "DPI 320" versions should be correct for your device. The Xperia S has a 342 PPI. PPI and DPI do not exactly have the same meaning, but in this case I believe they are interchangeable. As long as the minimum DPI requirements for the application are met, the application should be available in the Market.

Each time you install a new variation of the Market to test, I recommend clearing the Market data just before starting the Market application.

If you still can't purchase your program, you could always make the purchase using the web browser on Google's website and just use the modified version of the Market for downloading updates. I am able to make purchases using the "nosig" version from post #132, but I have not tried in combination with changing the default DPI settings. Although, I have seen positive reports of this modified Market working successfully in combination with the DPI 240 version.
[Android Apps and Games] JohnstonF:
You also need to fix permissions in cwm

Reboot to recovery > advanced >fix permissions
[Android Apps and Games] danlivesey:
I will try everything that you say now, but how can I buy from the android market website when that says it's incompatibleas well? I can het the free ones no problem by side loading but not with buying one.

Thank you sorry if seem a bit thick haha
[Android Apps and Games] Tsjoklat:
When you purchase apps from the web browser in your computer, it should allow you to purchase for all devices.
[Android Apps and Games] danlivesey:
When I use the the web browser from my pc to buy apps it still says this app is incompatible with your device and won't let me buy it, I wonder if there is way to fake a device.

I also tried a 240 dpi with no Sig and no res it still says it can't find the item, im so close haha im not giving up lol

hei i've been trrying Vending.3.5.19.noupdate.norestrictions.dpi160.nosig-aligned.apk inpage 132 for my x8 (miniCM rom) with modified density to 140 but i still can't find "instagram" in market, like when i trying other ROM.. can someone help me?? whats the thing that limited it?? :s

edit: sory, fixed by clear cache n clear data... thx nice job bro!! :)
[Android Apps and Games] pathologo:
Yes, you actually need to replace BOTH files - Vending.apk and GoogleServicesFramework.apk - to truly fix the 'not compatible' error, else you will get error messages when you try to install such apps.

Replacing the Vending.apk only fixes incompatible apps from not showing in the store, but it still doesn't allow them to be installed.

LCD Density Modder Pro actually works, all the mods by this L.D.B. guy and others don't.

Edit: PlagueBoy's fix also seems to work fine.

[Android Apps and Games] Tsjoklat:
I would just like to know how GSF is modified. I know what needs to be changed in GSF, but GSF will not load after I make the changes. Is there a special trick with the signing keys? Do I need a special version of apktool? If the signature is not right, it will break a bunch of google apps. That version of GSF posted by PlagueBoy is very specific to a certain ROM.
[Android Apps and Games] xeigen:
I'm on ICS :rolleyes:
[Android Apps and Games] pathologo:
I really don't know what the key is to make it working. I only know of a tutorial, but it doesn't describe any additional changes.

I hope you can collaborate with PlagueBoy. I use his fix on a HD2 ICS ROM without any problems.

But one app I still cannot install: '"Google Search" could not be downloaded due to an error. (942)'

Interesting. :)
[Android Apps and Games] Tsjoklat:
The guide above is basically saying that the "densityDpi" call needs to be hard-coded with a specific DPI value (depending on your default screen resolution) if you are using a custom DPI setting. This is only a one line change in the code.

The version of GSF posted by PlagueBoy seems to have hundreds of lines of code changes from the original version. Both the modified and original versions are posted on his thread. I just compared them by decompiling and using the diff tool.

So, the real question is, why so many changes in the GSF code when you really only need to change one line? I would love to see a working version of GSF that only has the one line change.

The main reason why I started this thread is because I did not like the new version of the Market (3.5.x) because it broke Ti Backup's ability of controlling the market links. Also, none of my modified versions of Android apps would show up in the list of installed applications with the 3.5.x version of the Market.

I would rather have to clear the data on the market application once in a while than have to also use a modified version of GSF that breaks the functionality of the rest of the Google apps. These modified versions of the Market and GSF should have as little changes as possible so that it does not affect other things.
[Android Apps and Games] Hammerfest:
whoop whoop says I...

newer market versions also broke the "My Apps" functionality... if I install on a new phone, or hard reset my current phone, I only backup the important things like games, contacts, and work programs, for utilities and such, I do not... and having to sort through 300+ apps to find MY PURCHASED APPS, which used to show in "My Apps" as "Uninstalled"... well thats just effing stupid...

Also, I noticed Auto-Update isnt working... I waited a day for my app to update before I manually did the update... still, 3 day market reset and no auto-update (yes its checked), worth it over no TiBackup (I use ADW Launcher EX v1.3.3.1, the non newer and crappier version) remove from market ability...
[Android Apps and Games] famewolf:
A solution to the google play store dpi issue that works 100% is available in new roms such as Paranoidandroid which runs on multiple devices...it implements a feature known as "PAD" which is Per App Density allowing you to keep the system density to 240 while adjusting user density and even fine grained per app density. I'm running it on my HD2 and only wishing the rom was available for my inspire. A quick google will take you to the homepage and a list of supported devices as it's being updated fairly often.
[Android Apps and Games] xeigen:
+1 as alternate fix
[Android Apps and Games] Tsjoklat:
Agreed. If this "PAD" feature could be ported to the AOSP ROMs, then we could just skip all of the "DPI Hacks" and just go with a version of the Market that does not update. Then everything should work in all cases.
[Android Apps and Games] famewolf:
Actually you can even let it update...as far as market is concerned everything is fine and it's on 240 dpi....system dpi stays 240 dpi....for instance right now I have system dpi on 240....user dpi defaulting to 182dpi (ie any app I have not configured individually) with Market being set to 240....apex launcher set to 200....es file explorer set to 200....cause I wanted slightly larger fonts etc......but it's integrated into a cm9 rom.

http://betadan.com/paranoid/ <-- more detail...also you can select "phone" or "tablet" mode on top of dpi.
[Android Apps and Games] Tsjoklat:
Yes, but some people might still want to keep the older version of the Market so Ti Backup is fully compatible. Also, the country code restriction patch might also still be wanted. If the DPI Hacks are no longer necessary, then I would go with Vending.3.4.7.noupdate.norestrictions.nosig-aligned and everything should work as expected.
[Android Apps and Games] dakunesu:
PAD

What we need to do is either get the patches and apply, or write one of our own from scratch. honestly, im not sure why this hasnt been done, but thats my own opinion.
[Android Apps and Games] Tsjoklat:
Make it so. ;-) If this is a CM9 feature, maybe it's easily ported to CM7 too.
[Android Apps and Games] jd4smart:
i'm confused!!!

try Vending.3.5.19.noupdate.norestrictions.dpi240.nosig-aligned.apk (renamend as Phonesky - i'm on ics)

- stopped market update service (before change file and still turn off)

- any GFS modded

- market wont work proprertly with different DPI (at 185 i dont see many application)

- download worked anyway (buyer don't know...cant try)

need to change GFS too to get fix?
[Android Apps and Games] Tsjoklat:
Try clearing cache and data of google play store then check if the apps becomes visible.
[Android Apps and Games] jd4smart:
Wow i had already try without any result... But now seems all fixed, and can now see again all up:D

But.... Is these fixing finally?

Or between some day/hours apps missing again until next clearing?

Inviato dal mio GT-I9000 usando Tapatalk
[Android Apps and Games] Tsjoklat:
You will have to apply the same "DPI Hack" to GSF (hard-code DPI value) if you want compatibility to be permanent. I am not really sure how long it will last before you will need to clear the data/cache for Google Play Store before you lose compatibility again (milage may vary).

The only problem with modifying GSF is that it seems to cause problems with the other Google apps because I have been unable to replicate the original Google signature.
[Android Apps and Games] famewolf:
Why not provide a modified Gapps with all app signatures in sync? Users can always remove apps they don't want included from the zip prior to installing. As an added bonus since you are giving them whole package you'd only have to create and maintain 2 of them.....1 for your titanium backup crowd and the most recent.
[Android Apps and Games] Infy_AsiX:
wiping cache, restart doesn't even work for lately. I'm resorting to lcd mods temp dpi fix and sort my market each time like that. Is that apps gfs fix compatible with other gapps? If it is I might just use it.

I've no use for titanium market function, only restriction maybe. But there would be another way. As it is its just a hassle and temp fix its my best easy
[Android Apps and Games] Tsjoklat:
Don't restart. Just wipe the cache/data for the Market and then check without rebooting.
[Android Apps and Games] Tsjoklat:
It would be interesting to see if that works.
[Android Apps and Games] Infy_AsiX:
I try clearing without reset first and no go. Just store not gsf too right?
[Android Apps and Games] Tsjoklat:
Only the store data/cache (not gsf data/cache).

Im on ICS with my I9100

I've been using the 3.5.19 off the I9100 Forums, but ive noticed that some apps i have installed do not sure under the 'My Apps' area. ie, 'Update Me' app, (Built into the ROM)

Anyway, i found this thread and found out TB likes 3.4.7 over any other version. So i Downloaded the Vending.3.4.7.noupdate.norestrictions.dpi240-signed.apk as im on a custom DPI.

The my apps area now has a few more of the apps that were missing, but not all of them. TB now says i have no recoverable links.

I'm not sure really! This Marlet thing is really confusing.

Why can't Google just make things easy?
[Android Apps and Games] Infy_AsiX:
clearing market cache doesn't let me search for incompatible apps. But I can get them through a browser even when the browser says it's incompatible. I suppose that's am acceptable workaround :-)

I get error 942 with the nosig/norestrictions version on my SGS2. Incompatible apps don't show up in search but I can "open with" their URL directly and they don't say incompatible anymore but I get error 942 when attempting to install them.

It worked for just one day the first time I installed it. I was able to install several incompatible apps and THD games. The next day it stopped working with error 942. I think Google changed something on their end.
[Android Apps and Games] Zyxxeil:
Man you are legendary. I ♥ you (no homo). You saved me hours of work with this apk thanks so much. Im a developer for the kindle fire and i was making my rom and i decided to change the DPI and it looked really good but the problem was the play store app compatibility. I simply baked this into my rom and man all the apps that were not there are all there. I cannot stress how much hours of work you have saved me. Thanks so much and keep up the awesome work.
[Android Apps and Games] Hammerfest:
Im wondering, which DPI do you use?

I thought that using a Tablet I should be using 160DPI version (Verizon Galaxy Tab P1C), but I dont see Go Launcher EX HD.... should I use 360 or 240? I r confuzzled!

EDIT: You can PARTIALLY ignore this post... I see it now... haven't turned it on in a few days... frack me... but the remaining portion remains, what should I be using for a tablet?

Also, Can I leave it Vending.apk or do I have to/should I rename it to Phonesky.apk? IE Does it fracking matter?
