I have just bought a htc Smart F3188, believing it to be a "Smart phone".
I don't think it is though. I want to play music and put music files onto the phone but it is proving difficult, most apps are asking for Android but OS on this is brew. Anyone know how?
I don't think you can change the OS to Android. You'll have to find apps that work with Brew.

So I just bought my children each a tablet 2 different brands. The one I am having a problem with is an Ematic Funtab (pink and purple silicone kid like tablet). I have searched high and low on the web and have had no success.
First of all it is a 2.2 Android Froyo, and when I try and go onto her fav website (the whole reason I got her this was to play this game and leave my computer alone, lol), it is called animal jam, it tells me I need to download Adobe Flash, and when I try to download Flash, it tells me my device does not support it.
I was told to try and get the Flash app from the market, and here lies problem 2! It is preloaded with some generic ''app market'' with a pic of the android avatar, and another market, Appoke or something, and they both suck (because they are not Google Play), and do not have Flash, or much else for that matter! So I added (thru the browser, website, and email) the Amazon Market, but when I tried to download any apps I was told I needed and sd card, so now I am waiting on that to arrive to try that again.
So I was wondering about this whole ''rooting'' thing? If I root this device will I be able to add Flash and Google Play? Also, since there is so little info on the internet about this Ematic Funtab, does anyone know how I would be able to root this specific device? And after the device is rooted what version of Android will it be, still 2.2 or what? And what do I do after it is rooted? Like do I have to install the OS or something?
I know this is a lot, but if you can answer even one of these questions or point me in the right direction my baby would really appreciate it, because I got this on ebay and it is going to cost more money we don't have to return it, she used her birthday money :crying:
Hello all!
Over the past few months, I've noticed a few quirks that came with the ics os on the tablet (Camera freezing, usb drama, ect.); So I rooted it, and loaded cyanogen 9.1. The only problem now is that I enjoyed the stock samsung media player better than apollo or any of the other music apps out there. I've tried to load the .apk and system files, but it fails to install every time.
Any information why or why not this is possible is greatly appreciated.
(If it matters, its the GT-P5113, but I doubt that has anything to do with it)

The stock rom and the CM rom have different framework.
The stock apps tend to need custom libs added to the ROM in order to run the apps. This is done on purpose to specifically prevent you from doing what you're trying to do, which is take Samsung's apps and put them on another device. (I know it's the same device, but it's no longer a Samsung device for all intents and purposes.) They didn't do this to stop you from using their apps on custom ROMs so as much as to stop you from taking their apps and putting them on say an HTC device. Their apps only work on stock Samsung ROM's so you hav eto buy a Samsung device in order to use their apps that you want. All phones and tablets with custom version of Android are set up like this, with the exception of the Google Nexus devices that are bone stock Android.
Apps from stock roms can be ported sometimes, but it takes a lot of work and a lot of developer know how to figure our how to port the libs and make them compatible with the customer ROM. It's not as simple and just copying files.
In other words, get used to a different media player. You're not ever going to see the stock one on a CM rom.
Thta said, you don't have to use the one that came with CM either. There are like 9 billion media players on the Play Store. Try a bunch out. You may find one you like even better than the stock Samsung one.
hi there i have i.am dial watch which as standard has not very many apps, but have managed to put on a few apps which i need most i.e whats app facebook and spotify, but would anyone know how i would be able to achieve root as the watch is basically running android os but cannot find out which version or get itto development mode. any help is appreciated.:fingers-crossed:
anyone know what firmware it is
thanks
This forum is the most active one regarding android phone hacks/root/firmware packages and etc.., but my question regards hacking something else; I have a samsung smart tv I got from newegg, and its been treating me good, but it keeps installing tv apps like spotify, fandango, and others without my permission; worse, everytime I delete them, they get re-installed. I can't trade it out for a new or older one, as I no longer have a job, thus no longer have a way to make money (already sent out some job applicatons, but that's an entirely different issue)
My question is: has anyone managed to hack a samsung smart tv in a way that would let them delete these apps from the smart tv and prevent them from re-installing no matter what, or is hacking a smart tv not possible in any regard?

Greetings everybody.
I will start by saying i was never into android modding because i never had any needs so far, neither i have knowledge, it would be time wasting to teach myself a lot for just problem with 1 app since my work does not need that knowledge(well until now ).
So, theres an intercom device branded Hikvision which is a indoor station android tablet running on 5.1.
The front gui is apk launcher which im trying to make it work on 3rd party tablets/phones, since that tablet is overpriced for hardware it have. Luckily that launcher allows me to install 2 apks as they say, "You could install apps for smart home assistant". Instantly i installed Show Hidden Settings and changed launcher to android 5.1. Then i extraxted IndoorDevice apk with apk extractor.
When i try to install on any other android device i get error.
INSTALL_FAILED_SHARED_USER_INCOMPATIBLE. I stumbled across few posts where there is a procedure with apktool.jar and Signapk.jar but i dont know how to use them.
Anyone bored enough to try that on apk that will be on next link? I will pay few beers over paypal.
Indoor Station APK
Kind regards
