[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mtmjr90:
Hey,

So I sideloaded a geo-restricted app (Sky Sports Football) because it isn't available in my country (US). As to why that is...I have no clue since it's free. Anyway, I am wondering if there is any way to make the Play Store recognize that the app is installed (bypassing the geo-restriction check) and have it continue to check for updates.

I am hoping this is possible since when I install apps from a TiBu backup, the Play Store has no problem seeing them. TiBu seems to have an option to detach apps from the Market...but I want to do the reverse=/ Any ideas? Thanks in advance!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Theonew:
You could use market enabler. Titanium backup also has the feature to attach apps to the market.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mtmjr90:
I'm trying it on my Nexus 7 and Market Enabler looked really bad...I don't know if it's compatible with JB yet and I don't want to mess anything up. I guess I could just make a quick nandroid before trying...

Also where in TiBu is that setting? The only option related to the market is to detach (as opposed to attaching).
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Theonew:
Go to the list of apps, long press one and you should see "Attach to market (forced)".
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mtmjr90:
Well, I found the attach option but it doesn't seem to have worked:( I emailed the TiBu devs so we'll see. Thanks for the info though!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KeylanHalfdan:
I would recommend trying out an app called play legacy. It is an old version of the play store that can be installed along side the actual play store. I have Google wallet installed, and I am on Verizon, where it is blocked from the regular play store. I can open play legacy, and it will see when there is an update available, and let's me update just fine.

Not sure if it will work with other countries apps, but it is worth a try I would think.

[HTC One S] thebluecoat:
any aosp rom that has wifi calling for the htc one s?

or any other radio I could try that has a slight bump in signal ? 0.16.31501S.16_2_10.22.31501S.10L

signal at home is terrible
[HTC One S] Pheroh:
No Wifi calling for any AOSP rom since they are all based on CM which doesn't have it (yet).
[HTC Sensation] Royalfox:
Hello all, got my HTC Sensation few hours ago! and im already stuck on a bootloop D: lol

So I found out it was hboot 1.18 (still had gingerbread), so I used the root method included in an AIO program.

Everything went fine, I'm s-off'd with 4ext recovery.

Then I wanted to do the superCID thing, but I flashed latest 3.33 universal firmware full from joaquinf thread first, and it never booted correctly, it restarted on the bootanimation always. So I tried flashing a the 100% stock deodexed rom of mike1986 and it also bootlooped.

So I came here to ask, cuz idk what to do now.

Thanks!
[HTC Sensation] realsis:
Once you upgrade the firmware file you need to DELETE the pg58img file off the root of your sd card or it will continue to update over and over when you go into bootloader. After you updated your firmware did you delete the file? Hope this helps.
[HTC Sensation] Royalfox:
Yes, I deleted the file with my computer. The thing is that im always stuck at the bootanimation and it restarts.
[HTC Sensation] Kazireh:
Are you trying a gingerbread rom with that fw? If so that's your problem and flash a ics rom and your done.

If that doesent work try flashing something like cm9/10 or touch cream.
[HTC Sensation] Royalfox:
I reflashed Firmware, it worked now, thanks
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] TheAtheistOtaku:
anybody have a recommended dpi setting for cm10 that doesnt screw up stuff? the only thing keeping me from flashing the new alpha is this, because i prefer not to have 240 dpi. i would prefer 160, but im assuming its too early in the development of jb for that. Call me spoiled i guess
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] -EViL-KoNCEPTz-:
Anything over 183dpi and everything should function properly, I'm on aokp and I have mine set to 185dpi with font set to small and it looks really nice, not to small and definitely not as huge as 240, when i first flash and its at 240 it makes me want to shield my eyes like I'm looking into the sun :eek: too big, too big. I think at 240 Stevie wonder could read the screen :what:

great, ill deal with 190 for now since i find jb to be a daily driver now. And 240 does look horrendous to me now to, i cant deal with it. ill be watching the hybrid/tabletui thread like a hawk though, 160 is just beautiful for me
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] -EViL-KoNCEPTz-:
I keep mine at 185, I want something like paranoid android on our phone but with the rom control options like on aokp. I've been looking into adding the PAD(per app density) mod to aokp but the code isn't in paranoid android git and I can't for the life of me figure out what they hacked in the build.prop to set it up so i can implement it. I may have to use PA source and port rom control to it either way its looking like its gonna be a real P.I.T.A to get done :eek::(

How do you guys get access to all apps in the Play Store after changing the DPI? I changed it once and loved it but a lot of apps would show up
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] -EViL-KoNCEPTz-:
You have to clear the market data, reboot, open market and accept the terms and let it load fresh data then lower your dpi and reboot. Or use a modified market. If u do the data trick it has to be done any time u clear caches which means you have to redo the dpi changes

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tincanman:
Hi everyone,

Here is a simple question:

Is it possible to port the stock froyo samsung camera app to work in an ICS rom? The samsung camera app is much better than the ics camera app.

It looks like the camera has many dependency packages in the lib folder.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hongzhou94:
...You're probably gonna have a hard time finding the stock Samsung app because:

1) It is most likely copyrighted by Samsung

2) You are most likely the only person on earth who prefers the Samsung camera over stock ICS.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tincanman:
The stock camera app can be easily found in the stock rom or in most froyo custom rooted roms. The stock samsung app is better in every way. It has more modes, adjustments, and better panorama.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hongzhou94:
I've used the stock Samsung app on my Vibrant, and I prefer the stock ICS app in every way. The panorama mode is far superior in my opinion, not to mention the nicer UI, the faster shutter, and the option to shoot video and pictures simultaneously on certain phones/ ROMs. It is unlikely that the Samsung camera will be ported to ICS/JB simply because there would have to be a lot of changes made for compatibility, and most people prefer the stock ICS/JB camera.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tincanman:
Really, the stock ics camera I used was unstable and the panorama will sometimes not save. The panorama also takes forever to generate. What rom did you use? I was using ics passion
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hongzhou94:
I was using SlimRom, its really lightweight and fairly stable, since it has gone through several iterations. You can find it at slimroms.com. It has OTA updates as well, although those are kinda hit-or-miss.

Official ClockworkMod 6.0.1.2 Recovery

Description

: This is an ODIN flashable version of the Official ClockworkMod 6.0.1.2 for the Verizon Galaxy S III for those who prefer to use ODIN to flash recovery on a low-level.

This version brings many new features listed below:

- New backup format that de-duplicates data between backups

- Supports BOTH Internal memory and External SD Card (only if external is formatted as FAT32 - Why not exFAT? See here)

- Faster backups

- Fixed restores > 2GB

- Minor UI tweaks (new background, animated Android)

***Your Bootloader Must Be Unlocked First or ODIN Will Fail to Flash***

(See Here for How to Unlock)

You should now have ClockworkMod 6.0.1.2 flashed onto your recovery partition so just boot to recovery and you will have it working.​

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] boynamedstacy:
Yeah the date issue has always been a bummer for me when I forget to rename my backups with a file manager. Good luck figurung out what is what LOL :p
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] open1your1eyes0:
Please note that now that the official version has been released I have updated the OP entirely. For now only touch version (non-touch doesn't want to download for some reason).
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jgrimberg1979:
Its nuts seriously even when I try and rename my Recovery it get all ****ed up and in don't know which is which because it in 1970.2...format and so I end up renaming the wrong one.

I think the bigger issue is that when you restore from a backup your file system once restored is showing a created date or modified date of the same 1970 date. So basically everything that is restored has a timestamp of 1970(not sure about data). I wonder if that has implications that we are unaware of??

I would have thought this would have been figured out by now. This is a first for me so I wonder if it is just with the sgs3 because the 10 other Android devices have never had this bug.

This is normal. I have never had a custom recovery backup my external sd card.

Backup your sd-ext to your computer as insurance against corruption.

I am able to do backup from the top one in cwm, but that saves it to the phone's storage.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] open1your1eyes0:
Is your MicroSD card formatted as FAT32? Try reformatting and see if it can make a successful backup. CWM 6 was first to add External SD Card support with new devices so there might still be a few kinks. I see a couple people mention a similar issue so let's see if we can get to the bottom of it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Noxious Ninja:
Right-click, Save Target As. Or use another browser.

The server is likely sending the wrong MIME type for the file, and IE is trying to open it as text.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] open1your1eyes0:
True, that would make sense.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Hsoras:
That SD card I have in there is like 3 years old, formatted it as FAT32 for HTC Incredible when i first got it. So I'm sure it is still FAT32.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] voodoomanx:
I save my backups to the internal sd then just move them to extsd.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Hsoras:
I moved all my data from the sdcard and reformmated it with windows using the slow method not fast format. Now the card seems really slow. The backup takes like 15 mintues. It used to be like a min or so. (but now it does backup to extSDcard though.)

Would a class 10 Micro SDHC card make a difference to improve backing up time? My card is a sandisk 32gb probably class 1.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] noingwhat:
Using non-touch, the only problem I have noticed is that it no longer works with adb in recovery. The stock recovery adb worked fine.

Change date of archive.

I think i have found a way to tell different backup from one another when using CWM reovery, it is still back in 1970

you can figure out the latest by this date but I use a program called total commander and it will let you change the timestamp to

any date you want. At least you can tell the actual date an archive was made using this. the date should'nt affect the MD5 sum

I don't think.

Failed Nandroid Restore (Failed System write)

Basically, I took a nandroid backup of my Synergy TW Rom to explore CM10. After playing around and deciding to wait until CM10 matures, I went to restore that backup from external SDCard. Upon restoring it though, it failed part of the way through writing /system. I then reinstalled Synergy, flashed back 6.0.1.0 and tried again with the same result. I searched forums and online and see folks with the 1970 dating problem but couldn't find anyone with the error that I came across. I'm sure something is out there... Anyone have any thoughts? Could it be something about /system not being formatted properly? Thanks for any ideas...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] noingwhat:
Are there any plans in the future to make this available as a flashable zip?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] droidstyle:
There is no need with ez-recovery app
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] noingwhat:
Interesting, thank you! So I'm assuming all you do is select the tar with ez-recovery and press flash and that's it, correct?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] noingwhat:
Again, there is still no support of adb in recovery anymore. This is an issue if your phone won't boot and you don't have an extSD to put a flashable zip on. I'm stuck in this scenario and with the stock recovery, I could push a zip to the internal SD, but now.... I guess I'm gonna have to odin back to stock before anything else. :rolleyes:
