ROM With Sprint Apps

I have yet to find a ROM with the Sprint TV app. I have a friend that has this app on his blackberry tour and it is a fascinating app as you can watch full episodes of tv shows without lag. I tried using Miximo's ROM which featured this app but it does not work. What a bummer... If you know of any ROM that has this working app, please let me know. Peace to all. (Y)

For what phone?
Here's a link for a Hero rom for the 32A/32B with Sprint TV
Download is in the 2nd post
Sprint Hero Rom

When I push Sprint TV app to my phone, the widget works but the app doesn't.

For the Vodaphone 32B, This ROM was particularly slow for me and I did not see and Sprint TV app only Sprint Navigation and Nascar but no Sprint TV... I did not check if it was available as a widget... If it is available where can I locate it on the phone and if it is only available as a widget, does the Sprint TV app work and how well? Thanks

How do I push this app to my phone? Which ROM do you use? and when you say the Sprint TV widget works, how well does it work and which features are available?

Again seriously shouldnt this crap be in qna or the app section. Has nothing to do with development. Unless you actually come up with a fix dont ask ques that are highlighted all over the forums. Oh my bad you prob didnt see them bc your in the wrong section.

Hello? This has everything to do with development, this app is in the process of being developed DUH! I did not realize you wanted to be a moderator. You can think you are but in reality you are underdeveloped in the sense you have no business bringing your negative comments and dictating how things are run. For Christ's sake, go rub one out or find something useful to do in your life instead of wasting your precious time coming in here with you uselessness, makes me sick and irritated all at once... I have a question that has not been answered. Seriously you should get out of here and mind your own business. If you have nothing to contribute to this thread, your useless comment is not wanted nor needed here. If you can answer my question then please do so otherwise use your common sense and try to look deep inside yourself and realize if you have nothing positive to contribute to a thread that has an unanswered question than your best keeping your garbage and nonsense out of here. I'm sure you think you know everything so I hope the next time you have a question to something you do not know or are trying to find out, no one responds! If a moderator feels this thread does not fall under the proper category and needs to be moved they will do so accordingly, but that is NOT your job. Take a hike. Thank you. Peace to all (Y)

it had it on maxima's hero . the widget and program worked but i kept gettin an error saying "no connection, try again later"

Sprint has Blocked all non Sprint user's From using these app, ( Sprint TV ), Nav still works for me... Till Somebody hacks the TV App, It's not going to work.
Likely Looking at the Phone Provider when App starts, or provision of the phone.
anyone's guess at this point.

Thanks for the update Eugene, that makes perfect sense. I suspected it was being blocked but I also thought it could have been an issue with coding because the Sprint Nav app works flawlessly on your ROM and is a valuable asset in my opinion. Well I guess I'll just have to wait and keep my fingers crossed until someone hacks it... The other reason I would like to see the Sprint TV app on the sapphire is because it would give more competition to those with Iphone 3Gs. I do feel slightly humiliated and obsolete when I'm hanging with my friends and they can watch lag-less TV on their Iphone's while I'm pretending the metal detector app on my sapphire works and I get laughed at. While this is all happening, I am reminded that we all have the same unlimited data plan, yet I paid more for my Magic and I have limited functionality in comparison. How sad... *Sigh*

New Hulu Bookmark App

http://www.cyrket.com/p/android/com.hulu.bookmark/
Has anyone tested it yet?
I wonder if it actually plays video, or it's just browsing the site... The description is pretty bare.

Interesting...didn't they just re-block hulu on android yesterday? Since it clearly states that the developer isn't affiliated with hulu, I'd be very wary of dishing out money for something that will most likely get blocked by hulu.

Ok, so it seems to work, with a few caveats...no fullscreen?? High res takes you to the real hulu.com, which denies access based on platform.
As far as i can tell, this is the only way to successfully watch Hulu. Worth $1.50...until it gets blocked of course...

Wait, so all videos are playing? Or only a sub-set of Hulu's content?
If so, couldn't we just go to Hulu Mobile (somehow) via the browser and have it work? What URL does it take you to via the app?

I can confirm the videos do play, but this app is a mess...testing mobile site now, will report back

Use the app for more than 5 minutes then tell me its worth a penny. Need to go back to your homescreen? Good luck getting back to your video...The app opens a new instance of itself every time. No fullscreen? Tolerable. No way to exit the program? Ridiculous.
This dev doesnt deserve a dollar. Its just a cash grab. But Im sure the dev will appreciate suckers like you who think bookmarking a website qualifies as a paid app. What is it exactly that you are paying for? No thanks.
I encourage everyone with Froyo to try this out and report back here. Is it worth your money?

good link, also you can use other browsers that allow hiding the task bar so you can get full screen. Skyfire works well for me.

Guys, please keep the flaming down. Also, no discussions about cracking or finding "workarounds" for paid apps are allowed in this site. That falls under the category of warez as well.
@FuzeAction, consider this a friendly warning.

To be fair, it looks like this "paid app" is nothing more than a browser without the address bar. That's not very honest.

I would have to agree that this is not a "work around". Its just going to a website that already exists. Thats like saying going to the facebook mobile site is a "work around" for Bloo.
BTW anyone who installed this app... is it still working or has hulu blocked it?

Question about downloading .apk

I have one question. If i found aplication that is not free on market but posted online like .apk and I download to pc. After that transfer to my phone via usb then install on it, am i going to be chargred for that app or there is no way that anyone can charge me or know that i have one? Thanks.

No, you will not be charged for it.
I should remind you that this is piracy, which is not encouraged.

i am not condoning piracy, but yes it is possible to just download an app from the web. appbrain does a good (but accidental) job of telling you when they need updates. you will need to find another version online though to manually update.
applanet is baisically all this but inside a single app. it is a pirated android market. once again, i dont encourage piracy, niether do i use it.

As someone who develops Android apps - please just go pay for it. We put a lot of effort into making these things and it's only a few dollars. The dollar you just saved was food you just took off someones table.
That said, any Android developer worth his salt should have already implemented the Market License feature. The new license model can remotely validate that your copy is legit and allows the developer to respond how they choose.
In my apps, I lock you out and show a nag screen with a market link... but I know some devs who just quietly phone home with your device ID and phone number.

Modern Combat 3 help

i have recently rooted my tf101 and I really want mc3 but I have no idea how. Some1 please help.

You need to change your build.prop to a different device
/system/build.prop

instructions please

Since you have root access, you need to you a file manager that uses it like Root Explorer. Be sure to select Mount R/O on the top of the Root Explorer. Now you can edit your files. Navigate to /system/build.prop and find:
ro.product.model=EPAD
ro.product.brand=asus
change it to:
ro.product.model=A500
ro.product.brand=acer
save it and Modern Combat should work for you

i change it, but it still doesnt show up in the market

This application was not designed to run on our devices. stupid ass GameLoft designed it that way. It's a serious kick in the pants, but it is what it is.
Did you reboot after resetting the build.prop?
you'll need to tread lightly, talking about installing non intended game, or cracked games is considered warez.

yea i rebooted and still nothing

Really? Installing a game you still have to pay for but simply have to edit your build.prop to access on the market is really considered warez here? Hmmm.. i figured as long as you paid for it and procured it legally it wouldn't matter... what about if i download an app to my phone and use titanium backup to save and then restore that file on another device that I also own, just because of market incompatibility? That would seem to be almost the same thing.. and having hacked hotspots is definitely something we shouldn't be discussing or distributing if the former is considered warez? I have seen this discussed openly with no one warning of this. Just wondering not trying to be argumentative fyi.

i dont mind paying for the game, I have read other discussions about changing build props, and i just wanted to do it and get the game. Im in college and all i need is a game to get me through the day between classe, and being a COD fan, this game would help.

Because this typically leads to "can someone post a link to game x?" or "where can I find a modded apk?" which is definitely warez. What you talking about is fine but almost every thread discussing games seems to lead too it and a mod shuts the thread down so people have become eager to make sure the discussion doesn't stray into these areas. There is a thread in Apps and Themes that discusses Gameloft games in particular and which ones work and which ones don't.

That is what I was assuming, that he was saying it could 'lead' to posting or asking for warez. So to clear this up;
If you love android, you should hate warez pirates. Especially here on XDA developers..since pirating is the best way to demoralize developers and keep them from developing for Android market, and the Market is the heart and soul of Android, without it the device itself and OS is not fulfilling it's potential. So, love android- don't pirate or you are killing what you love.
But that is why I was confused because I don't see changing your device ID to access other apps that are in theory compatible but not listed as compatible in the market as anything close to even bending the rules..sounds pretty legit to me IMO. So, thanks for clearing that up for me

Ok so now that i FINALLY got mc3 working lol, how would i go about getting my Xbox 360 wired controller to work with it? I have the transformer dock and i have used it with other games, but what's the trick to getting it to work for mc3?

How did you get it to work? I just purchased it for my Droid 2 Global and am currently downloading it to my phone. I backed up the apk and installed it to my TF101 but it will not download the additional data. What steps did you take to make this work? Thanks in advance.
I also got my PS3 controller working by just plugging it in, turning on my bluetooth, then unplugging the cable. It paired automatically. IDK if MC3 supports a controller but shadow gunner does.

[Q] Tegra Zone Shield APK? The app that launches with the shield button.

Anyone got a copy of that? With a shield the app that launches when you hit the shield button I need that exact app.
Looking to try spoofing tegra in my nexus 4 to try streaming with a normal controller
Thanks!

I hope someone makes this happen, due to it streaming I can't see hardware being a limitation.

It could be like the Ouya framework though... Dependent on the actual device.

No, it is not. And while I can't speak too much about it, it's not just a side-load onto any device. So don't be holding your breath about someone uploading the APK and getting all the features running this week.

right....because it sooo hard to make rudimentary changes to a launcher.

The APK is called Dashboard.apk. It resides in /system/app and can be launched as a normal app.

?? Then why did you say the opposite not 2 posts ago?

Let me know when you get this working, since you love trolling. One of us has been helping everyone to the largest extent they can. The other is just demanding a bunch of stuff since he doesn't want to buy one himself.
I will personally post the full system image tonight if it isn't already uploaded by then. And you can go to town, I'm seriously curious about how much you can get working this week, since its obviously so easy.

You're the one going around posting false information. And asking for a system dump is not "demanding a bunch of stuff".
If you want to get into a pissing match about who's done more to help the XDA community, you're gonna lose. I've done alot more than post some roms for the EVO 3D. If anyone's a troll here its you.

And 20x more people have found my comments helpful. So you're still trolling. What false info have I given?

Unlike you i'm not a thanks whore, and the thanks meter wasn't even implemented when I started posting on XDA. I have released numerous firmware images and sbf files that would otherwise have not been obtainable, saving countless devices in the process(See the technician only Xoom recovery file that was the only way to restore a bricked Xoom for months after release). That's a little more important to me than some likes.
Oh and False info? You just said not a few moments ago it runs like a normal app.

Now now boys, calm down.
I must admit I am on legions side on most of his points so far. This is a community forum for the general public and what we do here is Share and Mod. I do believe "agrabren" that as you are part of the Nvidia team you don't want to see parts of your product ported and such, but the product is now in the hands of the user and so now it is up to us what we do with our purchases.

It didn't occur to me that I might need to explain that in more detail, but in hind-sight, it does need clarification. What I mean, and meant from the beginning, is that the framework doesn't issue any "magic" to launch that app. There's no special "back-door" entry into that APK which makes it work on the device, nor is the Intent anyway modified. My natural instinct is to distrust every aspect of a system app that doesn't sideload correctly. In this case, I gave extra insight into areas of attack on getting the APK to load on other devices by eliminating one method a company could use for an app that has a special method of launch (the center button on the device).
So my statement, properly clarified, is that the APK itself has nothing special about it in regards to Intent launching or its AndroidManifest.xml, but that without some efforts with other components, will not run directly on another device, especially one based on a non-Tegra device.

Great, except I've actually been trying to help most people with most parts of ROM sharing and modding. I've already said that I'm going to post the OTA1 system and boot images, in their official entirety, as well as I'll probably post a rooted version as well. I've been helping people prevent bricking their devices.
If you'd rather I just go away, I'm happy to. But I wouldn't expect anyone else from NVIDIA to be reaching out to get CM10.2 up and running on this device, or to get a custom recovery up and running quickly. I've never objected to him getting the system image, I'm all for it being uploaded and even promised to do so. I'm trying to help clarify what will work easily and what won't. I even answered the question that nobody else had, the APK he's asking for (because he didn't know the name of it) is Dashboard.apk, and it resides in /system/app. His contributions right now to the SHIELD forums on XDA are: Give me the system image, give me some APKs that may be on the device! That rubs me the wrong way as a person who has spent plenty of time developing ROMs for different phones, helping fix kernels for multiple CM-supported devices, and who has *always* fought for companies to give to the community. Unlockable bootloader? Yeah, I was part of that push. I'm trying my best to get as much source as possible made public.
Maybe I came off poorly in this thread (because this was after the thread asking for an apk that has only been demoed at tradeshows and special press meetings). So I'm sorry if I came off wrong, but while everyone else is helping each other out, he's just demanding stuff.

I what world do you live in that posting a thread asking for a system image and a possibly pre-loaded app qualifies as "demanding stuff"? Why should I have to have done anything to be worthy of your approval to post such a thread?
There is a huge conflict of interest with you both working for Nvidia and unofficially releasing official firmware and hacks, so frankly no, I don't trust you being involved in this devices xda development.

So a guy who doesn't own the device is not going to trust ROMs I make for a device he doesn't own. Oops, no loss to me. You can go back to trolling, I'm done with your thread. You have your system image and boot image in either manner you want it.

Oops, my bad. It wasn't your thread, you just came into this thread to troll me. My mistake.
Raptor, if you check in the Android Development section, you'll find the system images. I'd suggest the ZIP version, because it's both smaller and already extracted. The system.img is an uncompress image to be flashed via fastboot in case someone messes up their system or boot partitions.
