Do you own a Xyboard? If so, I need your help! - Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So I want to be able to get motocast for tablets on my Xoom. However, the market shows that it is "incompatible."
I have gone through the system dump for the Xyboard10.1 and do not see motocast in there so I am guessing that this means you can only get it from the market. Thus, I am asking, if you own a xyboard, would you mind going to the market, grabbing the app, backing it up and sharing the apk file?
Thanks in advance to anyone who decides to help. I think this would be a welcome addition to Xoom owners out here. I'm sure there is a way we could modify the build.prop file on the Xoom to spoof the market but thats a bit out of my league.

Try this:

Not sure if that's all you need though, but that's the proper APK for it... Hopefully you don't need other Blur services...

I think it was you helping me in that other thread (the rooting one). I appreciate your help but I still haven't gotten it to work . Haven't really had time to play with it more but I'm hopeful someone will get it to work.
Thank you though!

What happens when you do try to run it? There's another APK I can link that is related to it but it's also directly related to Blur so I'm not sure it'll do any good...
The file names actually have nothing to do with Motocast, which is stupid...

It tries to install but ends and says not installed or failed to install.
I've also tried dropping it in system/app and changing permissions/ownership to no avail. Also tried titanium backup restores but it hangs and i have to force close TB.

There are lost of apps that motocast app depending like motocast id. Will not that simple to port it over other tablets... It will require serious jop from a developer to port it and will not that easy.

Could I also make a request to xyboard owners as I didn't want to make a new thread over this; are you able to post your droid boot animation as the Xoom 2 boot animation is just boring compared to the xyboard. Thanks

Make that a third request for Xyboard build.prop, though for a different reason.
I have an Archos G9 80 and I want to masquerade as a Motorola Xyboard in the app store. Even though the Archos G9 uses the same OMAP soc and Honeycomb OS, albeit a different screen res. The Archos is just enough of a "boutique" device that a lot of apps will just say they're incompatible.
Much appreciated!

NETFLIX APK from LG Revolution System Dump

Saw this hasn't been posted yet in the Evo forums and wanted to post it.
It is the Netflix apk from the LG Revolution system dump.
The app loads fine and I can log in to Netflix fine, and see movie categories, etc.
Run into problems when I click on a movie to stream: I get some sort of 1005 Error saying it cant connect to Netflix servers.
I am hoping the Devs can work some magic and get this working on our Evos!
UPDATE:
I also attached the DRM Odex and APK file I found inside the system dump.
I am in the process of putting up the system dump zip via Rapidshare at the moment!
Would appreciate the thanks button!
UPDATE 2: LG Revolution System Dump http://rapidshare.com/files/452738666/LG_Revolution_SystemDump.zip
I run into similar problems. Pretty cool to know it is close to being in our devices.
Interesting!!!
Where did you get the dump? There's may be some DRM files in their thats needed to work. The blockbuster app is setup that way.
Downloading the system dump now. Will be uploading as soon as I get it.
Cool......
May take a while uploading though, since I dont have a premium rapidshare account, etc and the zip size is about 442mb.

Eww.....
Okay, I uploaded the entire dump to Rapidshare and provided the link in the O.P.
I hope the Devs can work some magic with this and get this app to work...
Also I assume this is the right form to post? I wanted to post on the Development forum for more attention, but I hope this catches the eyes of the Devs!

now the thing is have the DRM where do we need to put it to get it to work? any ideas if show please share them
I tried replacing the LG Revolution DRM apk with the DRM apk originally in the Evo, but no dice. Changed permissions and all, but its not working....
Figured start with the most simple solution, but nope didnt work
i was trying to move them around to but we also need to get into the apk and find the code for each phone's type of processor that isnt snapdragon so it will function with hummingbirg and qualcomm ect if we can do that then we are in business

how will this get us in business? we would still need to be able to contract the DRMs with the device as well as with the original APK itself? theres more to it then just that, but technically any device with a qualcom snapdragon processor should be just fine, thats who netflix is working with and as seen at wmc and the such netflix was running just fine. so we definitely need to figure this out!
GO DEVS GO!!!!!
EVO is not properly DRM compliant...
http://www.readwriteweb.com/archives/android_owners_netflix_has_good_news_and_bad_news.php
One will need to crack the apk to think that the device is compliant.
really hope they are able to get this to work with the EVO.

how about netflix just get their crap together and give android some love? they can figure out how to make billions but cant figure out how to stream their own service on android?
I mean, yeah, go devs. but its kind of sad that we have to wait for outside devs to figure this out for a billion dollar corporation.

Probably because it's supposed to launch with that device, likely an exclusivity deal. Netflix probably doesn't have their service hooked up for android yet, because it's not supposed to be available.

[Q] X10 AirPad 7" Android Tablet

does anyone know how to root this device, and or have any custom roms for this?
I am sorry if this is on the wrong thread, I couldn't find the right place.

It's already rooted for you.
It just went on sale today so it's a bit early for custom ROMs to show up, but I'm sure they will.

Seeing as how I manage the Airpad program at X10 I'm hardly impartial. Hopefully someone else can reply too. But about the stock -- We have 3 shipments arriving this week and next week.
Its a shame i don't see anyone trying to port CM7 to this.
I would buy it for sure then

I have to ask why. You haven't even used it, how do you know that the stock firmware isn't great to begin with?
I assume he just really loves CM7
Airpad questions
Does anyne know if the mini-usb is really an On The
Go compatible port, meaning it can act as either client
or host usb port? I have an OTG mini m to a f adapter.
Does it auto recognize it or does it need an app like
the NOOK color?
How does it handle USB host port (a f) flash drive
mount / dismount? Is there built in support or do
you need to issue the commands from an ADB shell
or a terminal shell?
I'm interested in being able to backup all the
partitions (regions), would I just do DD's for each
/dev or is there a tool / app to do that? Something
like clockworkmod recovery's nAndroid backup
/ restore functionality?
Does it boot from the microSDHC like the NOOK
color?
thanks
Kev.. I have a very important customer who fell in love with the Airpad 7 and wanted all his field inspectors to have one. He also ask me to custom develop an app he needs in the field. ALthough I have been a software developer for over 30 years, I have never develop for a device like Airpad. Is there a resource you can point me to for developers? TIA..

If it's already rooted, why doesn't Titanium Backup work? It displays a message that it could not acquire root privileges.
Attempts to use su from a terminal screen yields a message that says that UID 10067 not allowed to su.
So, is it rooted or not?

NO ANDROID MARKET but not horrible
Overall the tablet is pretty good for the price. Just picked one up and am posting from it now. I am VERY disappointed in the lack of the android market and i hate the amazon app store. Limited selection and emails me for every free download because it is a "purchase"(lame).
Good little ereader and web browser. Much more useful with the apps i copied from my other android devices using root explorer. Battery life could be better but as an appliance around the house, we are always close to an outlet so it isnt a concern for how we are using it.
The gTablet with CM7 is still my primary tablet for on the go. It is heavier and more cumbersome than the airpad but having my google services is more important on the go.
I will primarily be using this tablet for my home automation controller, at least until cm# is ported or they give me android market access
Hi Kevin. Quick question on airpad. I'm in BC Canada and can't get amazon.com on this device and I also can't get access to the android market. All I want is access to a netflix app for streaming to my TV. I managed to download the slideme app store but they don't carry netflix. Any ideas? Thanks rgk123

[Q] NBA Game Time 2011-2012/NBA.TV

Hi,
I have a request. Does some know how to make NBA Game Time 2012-2012 or NBA.TV app work on kindle fire. I tried through android market but it says that my device is not compatible.
Do you have any advice to solve this problem ?
(If by any chance you have the apk to install this I would really appreciate sending my liknk through PM)
Best regards,
I will ask differenlty ;-)
May someone from US who has access to Android Market, download NBA Game Time 2011-2012 and make backup of it and then post a link to a apk file so we can test if it works on Kindle Fire?
Thank in advance!
I need the app also. I have a dell streak 7 from t-mobile that I reloaded with the streak 7 honeycomb rom. Now the app wont install because it allows streak7 t-mobile but not the wifi that the honeycomb rom is based off of. Its too smart for its own good.
I pulled the APK from my Inc2, and it's odd since it's buried in another spot, not in /data/app.
I tried to install it on my kindle (unrooted) but it would get stuck at the splash screen. Anyways, here's the apk.

i dont think that will work- pkg.apk is for sprint broadband nba.
The file which was included above do work on Kindle Fire. I didn't try mobile league pass because I'm not in US.
I also istalled NBA.TV app which supposed to be not only for US users and it also works on Fire but it's not dedicated for tablet so for instance I can't login to international league pass because of screen issue.
Hope it helps
I was able to install it on my Transformer, using the above link, as it wasn't in the market for me, or any other tablet user. Everything works ok, except on videos I only have audio, no video. Hopefully they update it to support all tablets, including the Fire.

That's kind of weird though since I have a Verizon device. It was the only apk that showed up when i searched nbagametimelite
I was just thinking though that maybe it's getting stuck because it's trying to do a location check?
It wasn't for Sprint broaband only but regular one. The Sprint NBA Game Time blocks me just at the beginning, this works just fine
I chatted with customer support and they say that they are working on application for android tablets but they can't tell me when we can expect it though
Could you please upload NBA.TV application too?

The pkg.apk posted works perfectly on my HP Touchpad. When I went to the Market, it stated the app was only available on my Nexus One due to carrier restriction.
The apk.pkg works fine on my Kindle Fire with the amazon OS. was watching the free LP trial earlier

I have a galaxy tab 10.1 and I got the app from your link however I can't get any video. I just get audio can someone tell me if they have the same problem and how they fixed it.
I got the same issue!!
Sent from my HTC Sensation XE with Beats Audio using xda premium
seems kinda hit or miss. sometimes ill get a force close trying to access a video, then ill reload the app and be able to view it fine. works perfect on my phone though.
now, if we just had a workaround for the local blackouts, id buy this.

[Q] Getting apps to work on tf101

Ok here is the deal,
I own a Motorola Droid 2 and have Real Racing 2 on it. I recently purchased Modern Combat 3 while it was on sale. But for some strange reason it is stating in the market the apps are not compatible with my Transformer. Is there a way to pull the app from the phone and put it on the Transformer? I legally own the app. So this is not a matter of license, but more of a matter of getting the .apk. Or is this compatibility issue something more like it has already been tested and doesn't work.
They are gameloft and EA.
You could try to edit your build.prop if your device is rooted, but there is no other "legal" way to get it working.
i do have it rooted, never messed with a build.prop though. what am i looking for? is there a wiki/tut on this?
ok i got my build props from /system/. Now what do i have to edit to make the app think its the motorola instead of being the asus?

Look for the galaxy note build.prop (do not download it, just google it and change the good value)

'This app is not compatible with your device' problem

HI guys, I have 'This app is not compatible with your device' message on 80% of apps on Market.... I didn't use my tablet for 3 month... it was properly working before
Now market looks different and i cannot download most of the apps.
I've tried to clean Market data, but it hangs, and when I reboot i works but issue still there.
I use Vanilla AOSP
What will be recommended action? Thank you
Give this procedure a try.
Thanks!
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA
Thank you but suggested solution didn't work,
What worker is to update to 1.2, then I flashed GTabCombOver 3.4.2, now market works!
Good to see you sorted your problem. I get this error with the game loft data down loaders, the market let's me install them but the game downloaded gives the the incompatibility BS.
I solved this problem by getting a build.prop editor from the marketplace (should be available to most devices) and copied the settings from my HTC Glacier (MyTouch 4g). I can now download everything my MyTouch can. Some apps have minor problems, but most everything works fine. The only thing I can't d/l is the nvidia games, but I would submit that copying the build.prop settings from a phone that has the nvidia tegra would fix that problem.
I'm running the DRH ICS BETA and it has a built in build.prop editor with various selections to try but none have been successful for me, I even tried using the build.prop from my galaxy nexus but it wouldn't even boot.
change your screen dpi to 160 in the build.prop
Which settings do I change? I have the same problem. Apps that work on my Razr, don't work on here. Both are newspaper/magazine subscriptions.
Also, could the same thing be done to fool the Amazon market to think this is one of their tablets?

That doesn't really make sense. Amazon sold a ton of g-Tablets both via Woot! and Amazon itself. The g-Tablet is well-supported on the Amazon app market.

I found an answer to this problem. I downloaded what I needed on my Razr, did a complete backup with Titanium pro, copied the appropriate app onto SD card, put into G Tablet and install using Titanium pro. Worked great, that way the Market doesn't have to know what device I am installing this onto. The only problem was a notice that the resolution might be off. however, this was no problem.

I am using Cyanogenmod 7.2.0 (stable mod) and haven't found anything in the play store that I can't install. The only problem is using an older version of Google maps is necessary if you want to use maps. CM7 is fast and sips the battery.
