[APP Q] Bobsled calling

Hello,
i've been trying to fool the market so i can download that free app "bobsled calling" from the market because it doesn't support my device (u8180) for some reason
i know a friend has galaxy note who downloaded it so its not country related i guess...
i tried to patch my market apk. i tried market enabler. i tried the build.prop editing. every thing still cant get it i also tried to copy it from my friends galaxy note /system/app but it wasn't there which kinda weird
the app is free so its probably legal to ask
can any one please share the apk for me i'm dying to have it :/
and if u have any ideas how to fool the market to download incompatible apps beside what i mentioned please tell me xD
P.s: i'm sorry if this topic isn't in the right section but it just made sense to put it here so any one else looking for that app can find it

Here you go, bro:

You're right, it was free.
Happy π day, people!

Hi,
could anyone upload the latest bobsled calling apk please???
Google play says that my zte blade is unsupported and i cannot download it...
Thank you!

Please someone - upload the latest bobsled calling apk somewhere - my phone is also not compatible with the market way of installing it.
Thanks in advance

For me too?

[Q] Downgrading Google Play?

Hello all,
I've been having a lot of issues with the new google play store, specifically with the new in-app purchase window crashing all of my apps.
I was wondering if there was a way to downgrade it to the previous version, and keep it from updating to the new one?
I have a MoPho running 2.3.5 Gingerbread. (Super outdated, I know. I'm cheap.)

Downgrade by going into 'Settings - Manage apps - All - Playstore' and clicking 'Uninstall updates'.
Keeping it like that would be a problem. Maybe u can use a modded older version? That may not update automatically.

Could you please post then here as well?
It think I'm about to downgrade from 4th version of the Play Store, because it needs sync on in order to work and I'm against it.

is there any auto update for google play? I'm trying to install older version but always update to newest version.
I tried put apk in to /system/app then in /data/app. Always autoupdate.
Some idea?

Did you look for and try reinstalling gapps ? > http://goo.im/gapps/
This could be the cure to your issue....

If you like the Android Market, try Old Market Installer app. Be sure to remove Google Play from /system/app (delete Vending.apk , Phonesky.apk and MarketUpdater.apk)
It worked for me
Sent from my GT-S7500 using xda app-developers app

keeping the older play store might create some problem with the downloads. As when i did, my downloads were being interrupted and restarted again.

I'd want to keep com.android.vending-3.10.14.com and don't upgrade automatically to 4...

Barclays bank app running on rooted phones

The Barclays mobile banking app was working on rooted phones until the last update, there is a few work around but the easiest way is to install the last update & unclick auto update in Google play. This is for anyone who has already made the mistake & updated already I can help.
Please don't mirror the download, if you wanna include this in your post just include the link to my post, thanks.
1. Uninstall your app.
2. Download the last working update below.
3. Open & update via a file manager (something like root explorer)
4. & the most important thing.... thank me on this post (Optional) :thumbup:
5. (Optional) Give the bank app a email or comment on Google play so we might get future updates for Rooted users like I did!
Barclays banking app version 1.3.3
Download link-

Enjoy & click thanks or like if this helps
Also there is another method available here by another xda member, the link for his page is here if you would rather use his way go here-

EDIT: [sarcasm]Yeah thank him for re-uploading a file some 1 else already posted in the other thread and not even posting how to make the 1.3.3 app work as it still needs to be "installed" correctly.[/sarcasm]
So what if i backup my own version and upload it here, is that mirroring, Lol what a stupid thing to say. It's not like it's your app.
EDIT 2: Don't forget to thank this guy " http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=43287742&postcount=213 " for being the first to post the 1.3.3 APK
Not trying to be *****y but this guy doesn't deserve credits for just uploading a APK which was posted 2 pages back in the above thread and he clearly knew about that thread as has posted in it, The guy i linked above who uploaded it first deserves thanks and so do i for putting the small guide together and so do the people who i gathered the information from.

He does deserve credit & if anyone wants to use his way they can go there, I'm just helping out like we do here on Xda forums, I had the same problem after updating & used my own solution which I provided in post 1, uploaded your own apk isn't mirroring, all my info was my own also my apk. You don't need the guide to make this work like you did, you just unclick auto install & use the 1.3.3 version like I did, I reinstalled mine from titanium after I found the new update unusable on my rooted device.

Your method will only work if they already had the data for the app, but yet there is no mention of this, Fresh install will require the above guide and considering there is no mention of "having to have it installed before" or "how to fix barclays mobile banking app" then it implies that this will make it work on rooted phones just by downloading your APK when this is simply not the case.
Also i know uploading my own apk isn't mirroring however technically it is as the CRC would be identical on both APK's and it seems kinda stupid saying don't mirror but yet they can easily upload the same APK and you wouldn't know.

Changed step 4 to optional due to the comments lol.

You can't find the app or the apk? If you can't find the app try a reboot? Or do you mean you can't find the apk? It should be in your downloads folder?

I cant get the Barclays mobile app to work on my rooted experia z does anyone know if this method still works?

I tryed to install this old version of apk but it doesnt work on rooted phone

@ x7nofate did you try this way which I wrote under here? Or may be if you clear the cache of the app? It will work?
@ xjacko the app still works on my rooted s3
Try install from the market, then open it up, it will say not supported on rooted phones or something like that, then Uninstall it, then download my link & copy it over to your phone, now find it via a file manager app (root explorer, es manager or something like that), install it (or push it to data/app via manager app & then reboot the phone) & then enjoy barclays bank app on a rooted phone, it's the version before so tick don't auto install from the play store or it will update next time you use wifi or mobile data. Or you can also use method 2 in this post by another xda member? Hope this helps you :thumbup:

Please help, I installed the Barclay's app 2 days ago and today I uninstalled it and copied your modified apk to data/app but after copying and restarting my phone the play store auto updated the app.
Now I have barclays-1 and barclays-2 apk in data/app . I've tried deleting my cache and dalvik cache and installing then reuninstalling the official app
I then tried installing the modified apk and restarting but the app won't appear in all apps, please help :/

woohoowoohoo!
Months ago I lost use of mobile banking on my rooted SG Note2, I only had Titanium Backup set to keep one old version, and foolishly ran a backup having auto-updated a bunch of apps and then realised the new version of BMB reported device was rooted.
I tried all sorts of things to get it to work.. I came across many guides suggesting what to do.. and none worked..
* I used the triangleaway fix to make device normal.
* I disabled adb.
* I disabled installation of non-market apps
* I tried hide root programs.
* I renamed the Superuser.apk app to something else
* I renamed /system/xbin/su to something else
* I ensured /system was read only.
* I scanned system and removed any files or apps which had the name "root" or "su" in them and thus might look like root.
I even got to the point where if it weren't for having an active root shell via adb I'd have lost root!.
but nothing worked.
Then I came across this thread. I removed the app installed from Google Play, downloaded the 1.3.3 apk from the link provided, and installed it.
Ironically downloading the banking app from a third party is perhaps the most dangerous thing you could do, and yet Barclays force you in to it!
At some point I imagine they will put something in the internet servers which will deliberately break 1.3.3 and force an upgrade
But in the meanwhile I am very very happy! I will no longer have to carry my PIN Sentry box around with me.

I now have a rooted Xperia Z Ultra, and I have done everything to make this work yet it still says device is rooted. I restored the app from my Note 2 which is rooted and where the app works; so there must be something unusual that the Xperia flags up to tell Barclay's app its rooted.
If you have any ideas, please shout out so I can try them out. I did all the things I previously posted when I was trying to get the newer app to work.

What kind of fool would access their bank account from a hacked program hosted on mediafire uploaded by an unknown person who cannot even say what it is they have done to make it work?

Can't install BBM play store says its incompatible

Hi All,
I'm running 4.3.1 Beanstalk rom.
I been trying to download BBM messenger off the play store but says its incompatible. I'm wondering if it's the rom that's making it so. I don't wanna wipe phone and go back to default rom just for this app.
If anyone knows a work around please help.

I found a copy of the apk file in the wild, enabled 'install from unknown sources' in the settings (under Security I think?, it's been awhile), and then use a file manager to open the BBM apk from your downloads folder, and then install it. Basically you are bypassing the Play Store, and trusting that the apk you got hasn't been messed with. It's a bit of a leap of faith, and if you download a hacked version that steals all your data, not my fault, so don't cry if it happens.

I got an older version I believe. I think the play store one is v 2.0 something and the one I got is 1.10 but its working fine. Just added bunch of frnds. Chat with one of them and seem legit.

Those version numbers don't jive with what I know. The version I have is 1.0.0.70, latest play store is 1.0.0.72

You can't (well, you can download it, but it won't work), it only supports Android 4.0 and up. Any reason why you haven't upgraded?

Is Kies up to date? If so, check your cable or USB port on your phone (among other things).

Mate DO NOT WORRY!! It's something common that happens to people on Custom ROM... It happened to me when I was in BeanStalk!! What I did was:
1) Download Aptoide
2) Download BBM from Aptoide
And it worked! Trust me. You don't have to uninstall any update from the store or anything like that. Just follow my steps.

Sorry for the hurried response.
There are a handful of reasons why app is incompatible.
1) android version - some apps are not compatible with android versions .updating your android version will work .
2)hardware -let's say that I want to shoot a 360 panorama. But my device has no gyromerter ,so I may get incompatible or they may let me download but the app won't work perfectly.
3)geo restrictions- some apps cannot be installed in some country or the app hasn't been released yet for that country. Enabling proxy and changing your location may or may not work.
Now for by " already did it " you mean you already installed then good for you.
But keep in mind that cm11=KitKat that is android4.4.x
Using cm11 don't mean that your device is updated there is still cm12/12.1(lollipop) cm13(marshmallow).
If you want more help cite the app you want installed and I'll go over the device requirement.
PS:if the problem is geo restrictions ,then using apps like tunnelbear,market helper and searching for the app in chrome store may help
