[Miscellaneous Android Development] Almighty2:
You probably didn't need any hack to your Kindle because by the time you got it working, the hacks were already there in whatever ROM you were using.

Google Play Store does know every model of every single device out there as there is a database, that's what the fingerprint is for.

Google Play Services could care less what dpi a device is as Google Play Services is needed for things like the newer Google+, Hangouts, Maps, Youtube. The dpi thing you're talking about is Google Services Framework and not Google Play Services as Google Play Services is something Google Play installs by itself in /data/app and it's not even in /system/app and something that's optional except for a few of the newer versions of Google apps which wasn't even required until about 6 months ago, about the same time Maps 6.0 came out, when it was required Google Play Services was installed before it would work.

Like I said, by the time you got Play Store to work, it was already working as it was still called Google Android Market when people had problems, see the link above. Device model has nothing to do with it, it's the fingerprint that matters as back in 2009 or so, on the Motorola Droid 1, the one that made Android a major competitor to the iPhone had some stock roms that were leaked by p3droid, market would not display a lot of apps until the fingerprint was changed to a released version of the stock rom. Same thing when Peter Alfonso released Gingerbread ROMs for the Droid 1, it required changing some lines before it will display all apps in Google Play Store. Saying it works and knowing 100% it works is a completely different thing as you will need to search for apps to see if they exist or not. I personally have 500+ apps on each device and the way to tell if it works or not is because a lot of the apps are missing on the devices Play Store when it's shown on

my other devices without problems.

Google no longer has the problem of having to pay back lot's of apps as they used to give you 24 hours but they changed the policy and you can only do a app refund if it's done within 20 minutes. Who said devices were blocked by Play Store? I said not all apps were shown in Play Store until you do the hacks as there are apps that are compatible with the device you have except until you use the correct Play Store fingerprint, it may or may not display all the apps, basically it has to do with how many apps you can see in the Play Store, not the device being blocked. The HP Zeen even after Market/Play Store is installed will see 0 apps, it will see the stuff in other categories but not even 1 app until the the fingerprint was changed in build.prop, read the entire thread here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=805611

Ofcourse Google Play Services has to do with the device, remember what the error is, it says it cannot be installed because of a shared user id, that is the part you keep missing. We are not talking about requirements for it to run but rather installing and there are people with newer devices who ran into this problem too.

See, there you go again, no one said you couldn't change it since I'm sure if you left it as stock, it would say something else other than BlueStacks in Google Play Store under installed device targets. Everyone can change anything but talking defaults here.

How long have you been running BlueStacks 0.7? I ran it since BlueStacks 0.5.x originally came out as a Alpha version in November 2011, not even beta and ever since getting Google Market and later Play Store to work there, it has always identified itself as T-Mobile Samsung GT-1900 and never BlueStacks. I wished it did say BlueStacks in the market because it would have been more easier to identify which device is which. Besides, everyone who had BlueStacks even without it being rooted has had Google Play Store working, we're talking about having Google Play Services aka gms working in 0.7 which is the one no one has gotten working. The others in this thread said they couldn't get Google Play Services working in 0.8 but that works fine for both of us from what I can tell, not sure why it didn't work for them which is what's important. Unless you plan to continue running 0.7 with a working Google Play Services, I have no idea why you are beating a dead horse and avoiding the other more important things like getting the latest CWM Superuser working in 0.8 such as with the updated su binary, being able to su from the terminal and being able to get the prompt when root apps require su access which is what's broken so it's not just SuperSU that's broken, just that SuperSU is harder to install until Bluestacks has a recovery mode as no matter if you use SuperSU or CWM Superuser, there will be some devices that can't install the su binary from the apk and requires installing from recovery, otherwise the apk would not have the option of flashing it in recovery mode when it prompts to install/update the su binary.

Most of my devices other than the HP Zeen and BlueStacks are Google Experience Devices which is also what Google uses for development and I work on the other side of the fence from Google headquarters, NASA Ames as a Astrophysicist so I have friends who work inside Google in development and ofcourse they wouldn't disclose everything.

Steps To Find SD Card in your PC

Access the Windows Registry by going to Start >> Run and type in 'regedit' and hit Enter. This opens up the Registry Editor.

Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\BlueStacks\Guests\Andr oid\ SharedFolder\0.

Path shows the folder where it's located. I've only put a apk from root explorer inside BS and from mines, the apk has a different filename but still with the apk extension.
