[Q] SE X10 MINI cant install some apps?

I am trying to install the "LG TV REMOTE" app to my SE X10 Mini but I cannot see the app in the market on the handset and on the android market website I see the message "This app is incompatible with your phone."
I have had this issue with a few other apps but cant find out why this is so? Is it due to the small screen size or the version of android? The app should run on 2.1 which I have so i guess its the screen size. Does anybody have any workarounds?
I am thinking of upgrading shortly to the Xperia Mini which has a slightly bigger screen size of 3". Does anybody know if the app will work on that handset?
Thanks

Thread moved to Q&A due to it being a question. Would advise you to read forum rules and post in correct section.

Are you sure the app can run on your SE?
Just remember: it's LG's, there must be something special in hardwares of the LG phone to support the app.

Maybe it is needed IR Port ,Is there a your phone

[Q] Does anyone else not use "The Cloud"?

This is related to any phone or really any device, but does anyone else not really use cloud services? To me, it seems like a waste of time and money to stream gigs of music that I could just store on a microSD card, and if it can't fit on that microSD, then I don't need it - simple as that.

I apologize for that, didn't even think about that.

I tried google music, but you are right.
I didn't see any point in uploading all my music when i could just have put it on a sdcard.
There are usefull scenarios though:
- Giving multiple devices access to your music
- Managing it from a single site
Then again, do i wan't to trust a 3rd party with my music collection?
Bandwidth is a problem too for most users.
I do use dropbox though, regularly and extensively for files lecture files etc, but not for any music.

[Q] Developer for hire?

There are so many talented developers here on xda and their passion for creativity only led many to working for free just to express their art. Fellow flashers (including myself) would not exist if it weren't for the developers.
I've been searching for an Android apps developer everywhere, and the thought just crossed my mind, XDA. A place I've gained respect for the development community.
So, I pose a question (with much respect), how to approach a Developer and find out if they would be interested in a "small app project for hire?"
If you are a Developer, I would love your pm.
Btw, I hope I'm not breaking any rules or offending anyone, as my pure intention is only driven by the developers passion here on XDA (otherwise, I have searched guru, but don't know anything about those developers).

I recommend posting in the general (non device specific) android apps section. U will find more ppl. Also of the app is really simple u can use buzztouch.com or appsbar (both are free) to make it on your own with not much technical knowledge. Ive made a few simple apps using those and I'm a pretty basic user.

I went to buzztouch and it seems like creating menus and content management is easy to use, but the actual app is created with eclipse? I don't have the coding knowledge (example, moving objects etc...). I'm decent with design/ drag and drop but not at all with codes. Looking forward to developers response

eclipse is only used to compile the app and is pretty straightforward to do. no coding necessary, and the buzztouch also spits out source for an ios app at the same time so u can have your app on multiple platforms all at once.

[Q] Widgets... Im Confused.

Let me say first, I'm new to Android.
I picked up a used AT&T Inspire yesterday and rooted it last night. First thing I did was delete all of the crap. I soon notices some widgets that had the same app name as a few others, ie. Contacts, Contacts widget. Why do I have two contacts as I do with a few others? Can I safely delete the widgets that have a duplicate apps?

mabye they are just diffent sized widgets?

I thought I had an idea but I didn't. Add both to the screen and see what they do - one might be a call contact and the other message contact.
Before you spend too much time on this you might look into a custom ROM which would re-write the whole list and get rid of a lot of that stuff for you. Inspire should have plenty o' roms.

Different size? Not sure what that means.
I'm finding these widgets via Super Manager, and not my apps collection. In other words I have Contacts, but not Contacts widget in my apps list. Contacts widget, and others, only shows up in my Super Manager apps list.
Like I said, I'm very new to Android, but definably will be loading up one of the tasty spreads that the XDA chiefs are cooking up.

The contacts link in your app list is just a shortcut to the contacts app, but the widget is an active widget for your home screen that will have different functionality, so you can access things directly, rather than having to run the app. Just drop a couple of widgets on your home screen and have a play with them. They won't bite

Like I said, Im new, but Im learning. Didn't know app list were short cuts. I will throw a few into the list and see what happens.
One more thing. There are apps on the phones desktop, and in the apps holder. Are you saying all are short cuts?
Thanks for the help.

Basically.
The app drawer is more like the "desktop" in iOS in that EVERYTHING you install that has a launcher will be there. On the desktop you can place a collection of shortcuts and widgets that suit you workflow/ preference.

I apologize. I saw what I have done but could not figure out how to move it to the Q&A.

I understand, but what about the "all apps" location, drawer, or what ever its called. Those are not short cuts... Are they? For instance I want to delete "Latitude." Its in the "all apps," but not seen in Super manager (root.) Also, I must have five apps with the word weather in Super Manager, but only one in the "all apps."
I seem to have more junk than my girl friends AT&T Samy Infuse, Froyo. I rooted that phone and had no issues clearing or understanding anything. Maybe its widgets. I dont remember dealing with widgets on her Infuse.
Thanks for bearing with me. I know this seems trivial, but its helping me greatly.

You are beginning to see the biggest drawback or greatest strength of HTC Sense. Some widgets are available in more than one layout. This makes Sense more customizable, but also quite a drain on resources. Deleting some Sense components can cause serious issues. As suggested, a custom rom will have bloat removed. The definition of bloat varies from one Dev to the next, so YMMV. In general, AOSP roms have less extras, allowing you to customize them to suit your own needs. The Dev section has many fine choices. First post of each thread usually will give a description of what to expect. Try a few, or a lot, who knows, you may enjoy that more than trying to figure out HTC rom structure.
Don't know where that came from. Moving on.
Disclaimer: This is not advice. It is just something that fell from between my ears.

Great advice. AOSP ROMS are perfect for me. I don't want the dog and pony show. Just basics for my business.

Any Jukebox apps for android?

Hello everyone. I want to make a jukebox for my house. What I planned on doing that would make it much easier then building a pc with touchscreen is to build a type of cabinet with an opening on the top so when we want to use it I could slide in my tablet with the screen now appearing in an opening in the front so we can then use it as a jukebox. The problem is, I cant find any type of Jukebox app. Maybe I just am not looking right or maybe they just dont exist. Im looking for something that will have a jukebox type interface with album art, track lists, and the ability to queue songs.
Does anyone know of an app like this? I really appreciate any help.

Have you tried TouchTunes?

It looks like that app is more for controlling an actual jukebox. Thanks for the suggestion though.
