[Q] Root with workings apks for skye and FB - Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I am about to root my xoom, I know skype and FB worked for a while till they broke them with a update. Does anyone know is there a APK of the old version out there that I can use once rooted so that I can make use of these programs until they get the working models out?

Android Market 1.713

Hi everyone,
I need com.android.vending.apk (aka Android Market ver 1.713) that was pushed to Android handsets about a month ago. I disabled updating on my phone so I can't get it.
Can anyone who updated to this version pull it from their phone and PM me? It shoud be located in /data/app/com.android.vending.apk
Thanks a lot!
It wasn't in /data/app, but /system/app/Vending.apk, but here it is, Google Market v1.713 yoink'd from HTC Clay's SuperBad v1.4.
Use of android marketplace on miphone
evening all,
stupid question but would it be possible to modify and use this apk on another type of android based phone in order to gain access to the android marketplace?
see ive got this android 1.5 based myphone thing thats actually reasonable for what i paid for it, but it came without access to the android marketplace.
cheers for any ideas on how to do it...
I could be wrong, but as far as I'm aware, yes, you should be able to install that .apk file and get access to the Android Market on your phone.

Oh, OK thanks a lot. I guess the cooker of SuperBad 1.4 manually put the newest version of Market to /system/app/Vending.apk
@resonant I think that you can't use this particular file, because this is the market app for Android 2.1, not 1.5.

[Q] Motorola pre installed apps

Hello friends
i was just wondering if someone has the files that motorola installed on our xoom cause i forgot to backup them (files,motoprint,citrix...) please i need them especially that file app
thanks guys
I took a backup of the office programme (can't remember the name now - Quickoffce?), but it wouldn't restore with titanium to EOS nightly, so I'm sure you'll need more than juat the apk for those specific apps.
Edit: Citrix can be got from the market (but I'm not allowed to post a link!)
for me i just need the files apk cz it organized me very well
Sorry for the late reply
I don't suppose you found the apk for the files app in the end?

[Q] apk versions

Hi all,
I hope this is the right area to ask this question but does anyone know where I can get the old version of apk's. I guess I'm looking for something like oldapps.com or oldversion.com but for apk's.
The reason is that a few of my favourite apps have been updated and the newer version isn't necessarily better.
Very recently I've found an app ('android assistant' but I'm sure there's more) which will backup the apk to the sd card which will help for the future if this happens again.
Thanks in advance for any help.
Nial.
Many file sharing sites have older versions. Just google "download app_name.apk" and you should get a long list of available versions.

Telenet Yelo Play app on Marshmallow and rooting

Hello,
First of all this is an online TV watching app here in Belgium provided by my provider called Telenet link.
It works fine when I'm not rooted, so no SuperSU installed and no su binary. I did some testing and tried "RootCloak" and "No Device Check" but that causes the app to force close after logging in. What can be the cause of the app force closing with RootCloak or No Device Check enabled? I think the app only checks if SuperSU is installed because I'm using systemless root. But again I'm not certain.
Thanks in advance

Is there any expert who got it working on a rooted device?
Did anyone try an older version of Yelo Play? Do they still work?

Nope

Hello, looking for the same solution for my android tv sticks. Anybody checked 'Magisk' ? Hope to hear good news
I hacked a version for my personal need (pretty easy to do, but every time telenet comes out with a new app I need to redo the hack because of the update policy) and it is working on rooted devices but it is only for Lollipop roms (5.0 and 5.0.1) and lower.
You can download here, if in the future Telenet updates the app I will try to release a new hacked one.

Thanks civato, this works on my Huawei Mate with Android 4.4.2 I had to uninstall the original version first, update only resulted in streaming problem.
I am interested how you managed to crack or is this a secret you don't want to share?
What is the problem to make it work on Android 6.0?

Android is open source to me so no secrets here.
It is a older yelo play (4.3.0) that I changed. I just change the build version (matching the new yelo play app so it doesn't wan't to update) Then I recompile and sign it.
As 4.3.0 only supports up to Android 5.0.1 and doesn't have the DRM stuff Telenet put in the 4.7.1 and higher , but it was from 4.7.1 that it started to support android 6.0.
Maybe if I got more time to look into the smali files and try to get around to detect method for rooted phones I can get a better solution for this problem.

OK, thanks for the clarification. I will try to use suhide on my new phablet with Android 6.0
I just don't understand why Telenet refuses rooted phones, on a PC you are allowed to be administrator with much more possibilities for "misuse" than on Android.

No more news ?

Is anyone using the old Nextdoor app on ICS?

I have a device that uses Android Ice Cream Sandwich 4.0.4. Until recently the Nextdoor app (it's like a neighborhood type app) worked well, but recently it started crashing. I found out that the version I have 1.100 is actually very old and they stopped updating it for ICS. I e-mailed them and asked for the last apk to work with Android 4.0.4 and they told me that they only support 5.0+ now. I'm not sure if that's just the company line or it's possible to use an older version of the Nextdoor app on ICS.
Is anyone able to login and use Nextdoor on ICS? Also what apk sites are safe? The only apk sites with the old versions of Nextdoor that may work look sketchy to me. Isn't there an authoritative place to download old apk files or at least get their checksums?
Sorry if this isn't the right place to post I didn't know where to put it.
