Hello all,
I apologize if this issue has come up before. I've tried to search for an answer and I just didn't miss it right in front of me or anything.
I just purchased a G2X from ebay. The phone arrived upgraded to stock 2.3.3. So, I read the guides in the development forum, set up the proper recovery, made a backup, and proceeded to install Cyanogenmod.
However, when I go to the Tegra Zone and try to download games, I get brought to the market where I get a message saying that the games are not compatible with my device.
Do I have to revert back to stock to get these games to work? Is this just a Cyanogenmod issue?
I get that too sometimes, don't know what's up. Running stock with root.. and 9mm says its not compatible .. supposedly.. also, with other Alps like Pano, on my G2 it shows up in the market just fine.. but with my G2x, it don't show up, but when I direct it straight from, market.android.com it shows as incompatible

Z4root in the market works fine for getting root. It will even unroot for you. I haven't tried a rom manager or flashed any other firmware yet. So far I am just watching the forums here waiting to here of other Cellular South Showcase owners who have success with a custom rom. Please let us know if you find something good that works.

I've got a showcase rooted with z4root and running the voodoo 5 lagfix that can be found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=871948
I noticed an immediate performance boost after installation, been working great and it's been that way for two or three weeks now. I did a benchmark with Quadrant Standard and it topped out at over 1700.

Can you please instruct me on how to find z4root in the market... I have searched for it dozens of times and it keeps saying 'unable to find, make sure you typed the name correctly.'
:-( very unhappy camper here, as I've been trying to root my Showcase for almost a month now and can't find that app...
you can try http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=747598
Just google Z4Root via a web browser (pc or phone). Download it and transfer it to the root of sd card. Then navigate to it through phone and launch. I will take a little while to complete so make sure you have a good charge and some patience. After 5-10 minutes your phone will reboot and it will be done.
Rooting Samsung Galaxy S Showcase
I just got my showcase yesterday and I would like to root it.
I just have a couple of quesions:
If I use Z4root, is it safe? Will Android 2.1 still be on it whenever it finishes?
Will it be completely blank, free of bloatware? This will be my first time rooting
and I'm not going to lie, I'm a bit nervous. I don't want to brick my phone
or mess it up in any way, I just want all the bloatware gone and to be able to
use my phone to its fullest extent.
Thank you!
I have rooted/Rom My showcase
I have rooted my phone using z4. I am running the pick N pack 3 rom.
It was not terrible difficult to do if you have done other phones in the past.
Rooting your phone does not wipe out any software or change out your rom image. It strictly allows applications to execute with higher privileges.
It will let you run things like "Wireless Tether for root user" . You will however need those elevated privileged to be able to replace the rom image on your phone.
I updated my phone to 2.2 so i can use Google Voice Actions. I have had it on many of my phones in the past and missed it. After upgrading my phone, the Google voice actions has a bug. I am unable to call or send text using voice actions. It seems voice actions will not see the last name in my contacts. I can not tell if this is an error with my Google account or on my phone.
I got my rom Image from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=970331 but it seems it has been taken down since then.
I do hear that Cellular South is coming out with the 2.2 update. They have been telling me "in a few weeks" since mid Feb. It is getting VERY frustrating. I asked them again yesterday and now they are saying the end of April. Anyway, I hope this helps guys.
Yes z4root...download app.... v...i'll give details...
Download App- Amazon app store...once downloaded search for..Z4root and bingo...Enjoy the Z4root!
Has anyone been able to get the Netflix app to work on their GS4G? I installed it but it says my device is not supported. The GS4G is not officially supported yet, but was curious if any developers were trying to get it to work? I can get to the login screen, but when I hit login it just shuts down. I have been waiting forever for this app!
I heard that it only worked on a certain type of processor or something? I also tried intalling it, but as soon as I try and login, it just closes the app instantly. I heard other people get it working on galaxy S models though. Some with and without custom firmware.
It says right in the app description its only for 4 different htc phones and the nexus s. It's been heavily discussed that changing the build.prop wont do a thing. It is a rom problem. Not an identifying problem.
I have the g2 which is a supported model, even then since i'm not running the stock rom it wont work.
i've been following this closely, and from what i can gather, only galaxy S variants running 2.3 have been able to get the netflix app to work.
Although this is the right place to discuss, there has been talk about it in here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1076508
I wish people would read and post things in the correct place. Not directed at you.
i installed a new rom on the mytouch 4g with sense 3.0 (god i wish we can customize our phones grrr) and netflix works flawlessly. its all about the rom. so once we get some custom roms ..tick tock...we can use it too! come on dev's no rush, but i'm getting antsy in my pantsy to flash some roms since i came from the hd2 to this phone. i have to feed my flashing addiction on my gf's mt4g which doesn't go over so well most of the time lol.
Has anyone gotten Order & Chaos by Gameloft to work?
I took took the apk off of my SGS2, added all the extra downloadable files, and used CF3D Nvidia plug-in. I can start the app, but when it tries to download the extra files it says my device is incompatible and gives an option to proceed. When I click Okay it just closes out.
Anyone have it working or have ideas on how to get it to work? I really want to enjoy this game on my tab.
Thanks
Just a quest, are you able to find this game in Play Store by searching from the Tab?
If answer is NO, it's pretty easy that this one is really not compatible with Honeycomb based device.
You know, I have had lots of experiences such yours. I bought the first Honeycomb device in the world last year (Motorola Xoom), and I have had soooo many issues like yours who let me hate this OS. I even changed build.prop device name to bring Google Market to let me download some thing they run, but then... They crash!
Fortunally I got soon ICS and everything is different right now. But you cannot pretend to run an app which is just not compatible with your device platform

It won't show up if I search for it but it shows up as not compatible if I directly link to it in the market. I've never had any success with Chainfire3D with other game in the past but I hear it works for other. I was hoping there was some way around the problem using it.

Its a paid app...
And I don't think it is ICS only. Its compatible with the Samsung Galaxy S2, which is officially GB. I'm not positive though because my SGS2 is one of the new ICS Roms.
Confirmed Honeycomb incompatibly.

On my Motorola Xoom with custom ICS

You can just edit build.prop device name and you should be able too start the game but it can bring you some issues

Working! Runs great from the few minutes I have played so far.
I've never messed with the build.prop before, but I gave it a shot. I changed
ro.product.model=GT-I9100
ro.product.name=GT-I9100
ro.product.device=GT-I9100
ro.build.product=GT-I9100
I didn't change
ro.product.board=GT-P6210
I started changing one at a time cause I was scared (first build.product, then product.device, then product.model and product.name)
Is this going to mess anything up?
I've great solved my problem with this thread, but...
Now with 1.1.3 version I can't follow same way...
Tablet tell me that "licence is invalid", I bought game in old girlfriend tablet (gt-p1000, my ex-tab) with my account but he wont work now...
Any suggestion? Thanks, regards.
i finally got my nexus back from sprint today... they had to replace it completely so its brand new. i just let it update to stock 4.0.4.
why is it that in the market HBO GO/MAX GO work on stock 4.0.4 and appear in the market as they should, but if your running anything rooted, it shows up as incompatible?
i swear if it wasnt for CM9/Kangs Id just stay stock for the sake of this app(s) lol
may be answering my own question but im running on IMM76D... where as most roms are IMM76I based..

yuh.. i think it was my phone tho kuz i just rooted my new one last night and im watching the wire on hbogo currently.
i feel so wronged.. i went without my hbo for almost 5 months...
Hmm.. in the Playstore your phone is always shown as Samsung Nexus S. They don t look if there are any custom roms. Maybe the apps aren t compatiblewith your custom rom. Maybe check if it works on stock rom and if it works use them on stock.
I recently bought a Samsung Blaze from my friend who upgraded to an Iphone 5 for $50.
I really enjoyed the phone, but being the autist I am I couldn't handle the bloaty pink addons that tmobile had provided. In addition I had numerous prompts about how my phone couldn't complete wireless calling due to my dated prepaid sim card.
I decided to use keyes to upgrade to ICS, which provided no new differences.
I then decided to go to my local library to root my phone on a windows machine.
During my first attempt I was rushed, and ended up soft bricking my phone.
My second attempt was sucessfull in rooting and installing the clockwork mod.
I tried downloading liquid smooth and installing it, like a moron ( i assumed all roms would work with any device considering that I really couldn't find a specific set of roms for the device). I ended up hard bricking it.
Now, what do I do?
Can I go to tmobile and play dumb, despite the fact that I do not have a contract with them and just a prepaid sim? Would they offer a replacement even without a receipt (its got TMOBILE plastered all over the front in that respect).
or
Should I just play dumb with Samsung? Say that my power went out when installing ICS on kies and my phone wont turn on? Will they send me a refurbished one?
or should I just sent it here mobiletech videos .mybigc om merce.co m/s amsung-gala xy-blaze-4g-jt ag-bric k-repa ir/
It might be nice to have it unlocked and rooted, and I guess I could have them install a rom I want in that event.
Any insights are much appreciated.
I've hard-bricked my Blaze once. All I did was send it back(not in store) and get a new replacement one.. As some people suggested, have you tried getting in download mode? ROMs as you've learned don't work with any device. That's why we have a separate forum for our device . Which LiquidSmooth did you use? In the Dev forum(for the Blaze) we have a LiquidSmooth ROM..
Neither T-Mobile nor Samsung are obligated to replace the phone for a number of reasons, but you could give calling them a try if all else fails. Samsung might be willing to replace it if it has been less than a year since it was purchased, but my experience with them is that they wont honor a warranty without a receipt if you're not the original owner.
First try getting the phone into download mode and using ODIN to reflash the stock rom tar, following the directions of course: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1591601
You really can't hard brick this phone... I've even wiped all partitions abd got it back..

To specify, it is not reacting to any button presses at all. The soft brick that I previously did just made it freeze at the tmobile spash screen, which I fixed by returning to stock.
I cannot currently turn on the phone, nor get it to download mode. I will not indicate if it is charging, and plugging it into the computer brings up "improppertly removed media" prompts on my computer screen.
I only have osx and linux, so I kind of rushed when the library was closing and downloaded a stable version of liquid smooth, turned on usb storage on my phone, then launched the zip file from clockwork rom manager, just as some random web page told me to.
When you said you returned it back, did you mean tmobile or samsung? Did they ask for receipt or for your sim card to still be in the device; or did they just take it and give you a new one because it was clearly marked as a tmobile device?

Well I had a warranty. I talked to the T-Mobile guy over the phone and they said they would send me one.. Just call them. But make sure you don't say anything about trying to get a custom ROM lol.
