The build.prop needs to be edited so the app will show up. Even if it does that does not mean it will install correctly. As for what the build.prop needs to be edited to I can't say. I don't run HC myself but I know when leaked Android fiel come out of the Moto devices that are not public yet we have to edit the build.prop so all apps will display. There is a line in the build.prop that tells the Market what device you are using and what will work on the device to install. That is why you currently are not able to see the app even when you run a search for it. I don't have it handy but take a look over at Nookdevs.com I'm almost positive I saw info on wha tto change the build.prop to so most apps will show up.
[Nook Color General] straterra:
I've followed the instructions at http://nookdevs.com/Honeycomb_Google_Apps_and_Market to change the build.prop file. I've tried both the Xoom and Nexus S entries without success.
[Nook Color General] Thirtybird:
I've got all the apps in the market showing up now that didn't before.

The following vid was posted in the Nook General forum that explains how to do this

[Nook Color General] straterra:
I've tried that before, and I just tried it again without success.. :/
[Nook Color General] commonplace:
I have to admit, I was really skeptical of this working... but it did! Running HC (on SD) on my wife's nook color, and couldn't find numerous apps in the Market. Did what the video said, and voila! The missing apps are there. :) Awesome! Thank you for posting that!

[Nook Color General] KidJoe:
That video really follows what is posted in the "Getting Protected Apps To Show in Market" section of -> http://nookdevs.com/Honeycomb_Google_Apps_and_Market

Except the video doesn't have you edit the Build.Prop file, tells you to start market first, go to "RUNNING" rather than "ALL" for applications, and it tells you to try market and let it error before reboot.

I've done it the "Video's way" without seeing any additional apps. I've done it nookdevs.com way (including editing build.prop), and many more apps have shown up including those I was looking for.

However, even though I see more apps, I'm not sure I see "ALL" apps in market that I do on my android phones (Incredible, Droid X, Moto Droid).
[Droid X General] jrdecat:
Has anyone done this yet. I found a thread where this was done on liberty 1.0 but couldn't (not smart enough) to determine if it is possible on other roms.
[Droid X General] owenbeals:
About two weeks ago I swotched from liberty, I had to choose between apex and ds, I could not find an unthrottle.zip for ds so I went with apex it has the option to unthrottle in the toolbox.
[Droid X General] Jmoney47:
It's possible on almost every rom out there. Just do some Google searching and I'm sure you'll find it
[Droid X General] owenbeals:
Sure its possible all you have to do is modify the service.jar
[Droid X General] jrdecat:
Thanks Owen. I've been contemplating apex...I'll give it a go
[Droid X General] DirtyDroidX:
Ds is the best rom out there for the x..it is possible to achieve that but you do have to alter the service jar...

but using apex come on ppl darkslide is the way to go and with ds3 coming out nothing close can touch it.
[Droid X General] suquet.paul:
What do you mean uncapped?

Is that like, bypassing your carriers data block? i.e. ive got 500MB a month... by uncapped, do you mean my phone would be ignoring those 500mb and (obviously) i wouldnt have to pay jack to my carrier?

This sounds INTERESTING...
[Droid X General] owenbeals:
It is just a mod to take throttling away not atually uncapping data

hello, i just tried this tuto

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=755903&page=4

but could not do it several times as described in the tutorial...

i charged the desire while it was on until the led light turns green... then i powered it off and charged it.. the led light became green after only a few minutes... so i powered it on.. and then switched if off.. put the charger but led light remained green.... so couldn't repeat it several times as described in the tutorial...

then i started using it... i lost like 1% every 1.5-2 mins of internet browsing... is that normal??

playing games like super mario on tigergba for 1 minutes drains like 1% of my battery..

is that all normal? so overall after 10-15mins of use (internet and gaming) i lost like 9% to 10% of battery... normal?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Box287:
YMMV depending on conditions like what software your using, what's running in the background, live wallpapers, updating widgets and radios... Can't really say whats normal, my phone lasts about 2 days with just Bluetooth (car), three email accounts downloading every 5-15 mins and a few other things. Either carry a spare batt or change your usage.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yeahman45:
no live background and wifi always on... that's it.. i am not even put a sim card on it yet... so not using gsm..
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Box287:
Is the phone/batt new? May take a while for it to reach full capacity... Also, you could try re-calibrating the batt through AmonRa.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yeahman45:
what is Amonra? i have put my sim card on it... yes the phone and batt are new. have used it a couple of days now(about 8-9 charges in all now) and i lose 4% of batt after 2hrs and 07mins of phone on (and about 21mins of wake time)... without doing nothing... only standby.. everything turned off, wifi, bluetooth, everything.. i just want to know if the battery consumption is normal?

p.s. i also have a static wallpaper and my brightness is about 10%

4% of battery consumption in 2hrs of standby seems ok right?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vpraveenis:
To check ur battery usage, put a sim card in it and leave it in idle (Wifi off, data off and auto sync off) and No call/sms.. just locked and idle and you should lose only 1% per hour... if you are losing more like 3-4% every hour, then some process running in the background is using up the battery..

Use this as a measure to check your battery drain.. It always works for me :)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] khorshid1974:
yes i Tink the battery is the cause
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yeahman45:
ok so 2% par hour is too much? i have everything off with low brightness and no live wallpaper.. i have advanced task killer and task xp and swipe panel running in background... maybe they are the cause?

update:

up time : 4:24:50

awake time : 0:29:05

battery : 95%

have done nothing apart just look at my contacts, navigate through menus and browse image gallery

The battery consumption seems right for me but i not really sure as it's my first smartphone
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vpraveenis:
2% is not abnormal. 1.5% per hour is alright.... What rom are you using and have you overclocked with setcpu??

Edit: and a small advise.. Dont use task killers to kill off apps. Let them be. Just exit from an app using the back key. Use task killer only in an extreme case where an app hangs up. Otherwise android will take care of apps just fine.

and enjoy your smartphone... I try to use it maximum and charge every morning.. it is a beautiful device :)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lennyz1988:
If you use advanced task killer that could be an explaination for higher batterie drain. If you use android 2.2 or above then you don't need it.

Also do you have amoled? If you have a white screen showing on your phone your batterie drain is much higher then with darker colours.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yeahman45:
ok thx for the advice. i am on stock froyo. I have set auto kill on advanced task killer.. i should disable it? and any good app to switch between apps? i am using task xp.

update : 5h45mins of standby and 6% of battery drained. about 1% per hour.. hence i think it's normal :) thx the advice anyway

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shaun0207:
Hey Guys:

Just trying to understand the app porting better.

Alot of great mods had been created from port of different apk's from other Android devices. I know there is a big difference between ROM that have Sense and no-sense ROMS. Yesterday I tried out the Droid X Messaging App referenced here. It work really well, but I had to uninstall it because of the Force Closing. I think the reason it doesn't work is because the Droid X does not have HTC Sense and its manufactured by Moto, so the app maybe coded differently.

But HTC has a few phones now running Android 2.3. So it would seem even though phones like the Nexus One (Which doesn't have Sense) should be almost coded along the same lines as a HTC phone running Sense, right? Yet alot of the apps don't run very well on Sense based ROMS. Now I know most people hate Sense, but I think its a useful app. I use Sense while I'm work and Launcher Pro on the weekends and evenings (yeah I know it sounds crazy. I know). But I really want to add a few ported 2.3 apps like messaging, etc.

Currently running SprintLovers Rom cause its the closet to stock. But I would like to mod it a bit.

So what I'm wondering is how come there aren't more ported apps available for Sense based Roms?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k2buckley:
I could be wrong, but I think it's because of how much the framework differs. I've never tried the messaging app that you referenced, but is it all black? If you're looking for a messaging app that is all blacked out, with white font, the here is a modded one. It is the stock htc messaging app, but themed black, made by JsChirf.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shaun0207:
Thanks, i was thinking of trying that out. Wasnt sure if it worked or not. I loved the way the pics came on the Droid X mms app.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k2buckley:
No problem man. I have had no issues with that app at all, and have been using it for a good while now. MMS works fine with it, but it's the same as the stock app. I've never seen how they come through with the Droid x app.

Hi,

My automatic brightness was not working properly so i downloaded sensor test. The sensor works fine but it cuts in and out.

It keeps switching from 10/10 to the real value than back to 10/10.

Any ideas on how to fix this?

Was working fine before i installed cyano

Thanks
[Desire General] regua:
Bumping this as I have a similar problem.

The sensor doesn't seem to recognise any light values between 10 and 300-350, it either says it's pitch dark or that I'm outdoors (checked with two different light sensor apps). I'm using the stable release of CM7.

It's causing problems with automatic brightness obviously, as I can only adjust the settings to either have a dimmed screen during the day, or have my eyes burnt out when it's actually pitch dark.

Any ideas?
[Desire General] Meaple:
CM7 has settings for auto brightness and it actually works. They're in the CM settings.
[Desire General] loopism:
I've got a bog stock Desire running 2.2 and according to Sensor Test, the light sensor doesn't work at all!

Sometimes this has happend to me in CM7... but I reset the levels then it was working gud....

you can check this thread where all the levels are explained in detail for CM7
[Desire General] aeoveu:
CM7 has its own brightness levels... but they are somewhat slow to update. I've tried changing their values - but it only helps a bit.

I must say that I was testing it indoors... not outdoors.

Just use a Sense Rom and manually modify the Rosie to look like Aosp. Assuming you just want the launcher to look like Aosp. Btw, this is easier said than done unless you know a little bit about theming and modding.

[Galaxy S I9000 General] VincentBernat:
Hi!

I am using a bluetooth headset which supports both A2DP and HSF profiles. The headset emits two short bips when enabled and therefore is not suited to very short sounds. My Galaxy S sends all system sounds to the headset which is very annoying.

I would like to configure it to send only the following sounds to the headset:

ring tone

call voice

MP3 player / video player

I have discovered /system/etc/asound.conf contains routing instructions. Is this file documented somewhere?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] thunderteaser:
There surely is some app that enables profiles, so that you can set a profile with system notification sounds set to zero when you connect your headsets. I'm not sure about alsa configuration file, but if you come up with something, please let us know. :)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] VincentBernat:
If I want to get rid of the problem, I can just use the silent mode, but I would like to hear those system sounds when I receive a SMS or a mail. :)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] luigic81:
Hey everyone

So my situation, I was fortunate to earn a free ipad wifi/3g 16gb from a sales contest at work, well Ive played with the thing for a few weeks and I have to say apple blows. Anyways gunna sell it on ebay, looking like I can get about $450 for it.

I then want to take the money and buy an android tablet, i really want a honeycomb one, but I know they are very expensive as they are just coming out.

So I thought to myself why couldn't I just buy a tablet that comes with Froyo, and then root it, and flash a custom honeycomb rom once a developer ports it over to my device..? It would save me alot of cash/waiting

So a few questions about that

1. Any hardware concerns or min specs that I should look for to make sure it can run honeycomb?

2. Is there alot of developers out there making custom roms for tablets? I havent seen much on here..? Is there another site that is tablet specific?

3. If the I can get those questions answered what tablet would you recomend?

I only need wifi, dont need 3g, I would like something a little smaller than the ipad, price range is $450 or less, and the use will just be for web browsing, playing games, etc...

Thanks!!!

A question for the community: I'm in the market for a tablet, and have taken my sweet time for the last 3 months looking for the best one to buy. I've done my fair share of research and now i'm asking you: Should I buy the ASUS Transformer Prime with the dock, od should i wait for samsung/htc/moto/lenovo/acer... next-gen tablet? My fear is you see, that I'll buy The Prime, and that it won't be supported by some software develeopers, and left out in the cold with some apps, or not on par with the next-gen 2012 tablets. I want the best hardware specs, possible future windows 8 compatibility, preferably tegra device, and don't mind waiting for a few more months since this would be my first tablet. NO IOS/IPad talk please. Any reasonable advice is more than welcome, and thank you all in advance! :)
[Quantum Windows Phone 7 Development] Steven855:
For everyone who has an LG Quantum, I was finally able to extract the xip and imgfs from the stock rom and see what the insides look like. To do it, I modified the lgextract program, which was written for the LG KS20, whose rom image is similar in format to the quantum's. I will post my version of lgextract either later today or tomorrow for your amusement. From there, you can use the latest version of the htc rom editor to get the imgfs.bin and xip.bin. As of now, there is no way to piece it all back together for flashing, so custom roms are, unfortunately, not possible yet. The only annoyance (you could also call it a bug if you wanted to), is that you have to remove the rom header manually with a hex editor to make it work with the htc rom editor (but I am currently working on a version to do it automatically).

On another note, I did find out that the manufacturer program can read and write to the registry, so I could also write a program to view and edit the registry if there is enough need as to do registry editing on the quantum.

Update: I have fixed the program to do all the extraction automatically so you can automatically just open up the nb file in the HTC Rom Image Editor and see what goods are inside. However, there's still no way to create custom roms yet. As for the registry editor, I can't do anything until I get back in school and I have a chance to talk to the CS department at school about getting my quantum developer unlocked via Microsoft Dreamspark.

[Nook Color General] hikersc:
I am looking for some guidance on backing up my rooted Nook Color. Basically, I have a version 1.1 stock ROM that was rooted with Autonooter 3.0. I have done a few tweaks to get everything working and loaded a bunch of apps from the Market. All of my B&N items sync on the account that my wife and I share as she had an unrooted Nook Color.

I have installed ROM Manager but have not flashed CWR due to numerous folks having problems with a recovery boot loop. I would also like to retain the ability to return my nook to stock unrooted without the need for ADB or special flashing.

That said, will the following process work for creating a Nandroid backup without affecting any other directories or files on my Nook internal memory?

Find a bootable CWR image and burn the image to a spare micro SD card (anyone have a recommended image?). Turn off the Nook, insert the card and plug in (Do I need to hold the Power button for this?). When CWR appears, create a Nandroid backup (Is this backup image written to the SD card? If so, what size card should I use?). Power off the Nook and remove the card. Put in the original micro SD card and restart the Nook. The backup is safely stored on the spare micro SD card and available if restoration is required. My Nook is back with all files and directories untouched. To restore, power off the Nook, replace the SD card with the spare SD card (with CWR and Nandroid backup) and plug in. When CWR appears, restore the backup contained on the spare SD card. Power off and swap SD cards and restart. Also, could this Nandroid backup be used in a new, unrooted Nook to restore or must the Nook be rooted first to gain the appropriate permissions?

Does that sound right? Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.
[Nook Color General] fpga_guy:
Right on. The advantage of this method is that everything (including the backup program CWM) is on the SD card. I never trust a backup program that resides on the device you are trying to backup.
