I was previously on a rooted stock KF and using the New York app which is only for KF. I've now switched to Jelly Bean ROM and would love to get the New Yorker app to work. I got the apk and installed which was fine. But once you open it immediately crashes. Anyone know how to get it work. Can something in the apk be modified so it thinks it's an original KF. I really like this app and want to get it work on JB which is a great ROM. Thanks.
Try using root explorer. To move the apk to system/app. Then reboot. If the app isnt installed by the reboot just install it by the apk. Then if it still crashes try moving the permissions around. I think i can mess around with it to work. What did you use to download it once u were on this rom?

Initially I had download the app using ES File Explorer. I used Root Browser to move the apk file to system app and changed permission to match the other apps. I rebooted which did install the app but still crashed once you get into the app.
Ok. There has to be a way to get it to work. When u say u changed it to match the others was that rw-r--r--

I agree that there must be a way for it to work. When the app loads it goes through the initial screen and as it tried to refresh magazine list it FC. I'm at work and don't have my KF so I will check the permission setting later today and let you know. I would really love to get to work. Only thing that I want on the Jelly Bean and I would have no reason to go back to the KF stock ROM.
If you can help me get this work I will write a blog post on my site about it and give you credit with any links that you want. Thanks.

I'm using the CM10 Jelly with the SGT7 enhancements (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1778010). I believe that is based on Haschcode port. I have not tried this app any other Jelly Bean ROM.

I checked the permission in system/app and it is -rw-r--r-- and the app can be found https://dl.dropbox.com/u/49697586/TheNewYorker_2.2.0.12.37111.apk
The app is a Kindle Fire Edition and I think it probably checks to see if that software matches custom KF. May need to somehow edit within the apk file. Let me know if I can help in anyway. Thanks.
Not with the sgt7 enhancements. Thats what made me switch over to jandycane

What tool did you use to extract the apk. Maybe I'll take a look around myself. Were there any protected files within the apk that it could be in.
I used root explorer but since u mentioned using es file explorer. U can download 7zipper from the google play store and extracts apks. Its also free

I decompiled the apk using Virtous Ten Studio and the Android Manifest lists the minimum sdk at api 8 which is Android 2.3 and target api at 11 which is actually Android 3.0 honeycomb. So this might work on ICS ROM. I might switched and try later. Played around with changing the target api but that didn't help. This might not be that simple and require serious java coding to make it compatible. Unless someone has a solution. I'll continue to play with the file and see if I get anywhere but I'm new at this and dont' know my way around android apk that well.

So I've seen from my friends stock kindle that hulu plus is available from the Amazon app store for the fire. But when you have a custom rom it's not available from the app store but is from the market and that app unfortunately doesn't allow you to do anything but log in and browse. I've used both the portrait and landscape modded apks available on xda ,but they haven't been updated in months and the landscape one is especially jangy (missing thumbnails,etc). Hulu updated their app a few days ago and it looks gorgeous on my kindle..it just doesn't work. My rom like most others masquerades as a galaxy nexus and apparently they don't support that model so my question is..will changing my build prop back to a fire work? I'm guessing probably no but I thought I'd ask.

Yep..and it "works" its just that it hasn't been updated since Feb..the landscape mod is missing thumbnails and the portrait one is just that..portrait. The one from the market is light years ahead of both of those apks and I just wish I knew how to mod this new apk so it used the same checks as his modded apks.

I can honestly say that neither of the cracked Hulu+ apps work for me on my KF anything we can do to help with a new version?
Actually, try installing Adfree and choosing "Revert", it fixed it on my kf

the Adfree app above didn't work for me. I searched the xda forums and found the instructions below. I followed the instructions and it worked (I can search and watch tv episodes). I have a KF with running ICS Energy ROM (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1528024).

I just copied this from huntken in the Thunderbolt section over at RootzWiki.
It worked for me, hopefully it works for you guys/gals.
Directions:
1. Delete Hulu Plus if you have it installed already.
2. Delete any backups you may have of it in Titanium Backup.
3. Get Titanium Backup if you don't already have it.
4. Download this file here and unzip it, there will be 3 files in it.
5. Place all 3 files in the sdcard/TitaniumBackup folder
6. Launch Titanium Backup and restore the backup.
7. Enjoy?

I don't remember, but it's probably an older release since the original XDA thread was from Jan 2012.
Hi all! I've recently acquired the gmail app from a unreleased version of android. 4.2!!!! I know that it was leaked a while ago but I just started using it , and it is amazing! It is much quicker and finally has PINCH TO ZOOM!!!
Well here it is, lett me know what you think?
Download:

Instructions:
If your current gmail is a system app, move it to data, then uninstall it.
Then install the new one.
If it is not a system app then uninstall your current
Then install this one.
Just installed and everything is running smoothly. Thanks for sharing.

im guessing that it is a system app so heres what i did.
1. In root explorer go to system/app and find gmail.apk
2. then press and hold it and then press move.
3 then move it to data app.
4. reboot your kindle
5. go to setting/apps/ find gmail then uninstall
6. after the uninstall download the new gmail
7 then try installing. that should work.

It may not be the file, as I was able to download it from a couple different sources. It may be that I am just doing something wrong or my Kindle is incompatible. I'm not sure though, so that's all I'm trying to figure out.

The CyanogenMod team has been making good progress towards the latest, stable version of its ROM - CyanogenMod 10 - but there's still time for more features to be added before its eventual release.
One of those features is a root-enabled file manager, which was announced on the Cyanogen Google+ page a few hours ago. Judging from the screenshots, it looks to blend in seamlessly with other CyanogenMod features and the rest of the Android OS, with a really nice looking interface. (Screenshots Below)
When you're browsing through your files, you will be able to choose between three access modes: Safe mode, Prompt User mode and Root Access mode. As you'd expect, it will allow you to view files on your internal storage device as well
you can get the apk here:
http://www.mediafire.com/?do5c710wiwcxwps
Simply copy to system/app and set permissions to rw-r--r--
Enjoy

Opens up fine but everytime i open the app it searches for the sdcard for quite some time..
Also when i try to switch from Safe Mode to Root Access Mode, after granting the SU permission it goes back to safe mode instead of Root access
This is happening maybe cause its specifically modded for CM9
Edit: tried the modded apk on Numa btw, and the apk posted by the OP worked fine for me on cm10
On OTA ICS I get safe mode only. My phone is rooted. How do I switch to normal mode?
will try tq
So Droid-Life posted the flashable zips a few days ago for the JB4.2 clock and keyboard apps. Is there any way to extract the .apk from these zips and install on the RAZR HD XT926? Obviously can't flash them since we don't have custom recovery. Just wondering if there is another way to install them. I actually already have the keyboard from last week but I really want the clock apps.
Thanks,

unzip and copy over apk and lib to appropriate locations, and set permissions for each. working well for me.
You can just copy them over to the correct locations, look at the updater-script for locations and permissions.
These are included in the Vitreous Rom as well, which can be installed without unlocking your bootloader.

You don't need to install it...if you push it to system/apps and make the permissions correct you need to reboot in order for it to work. But most likely it's part of motoblur so it probably won't work.

Use titanium backup to backup and uninstall the default app. Then put the mms.apk in system>apps. Reboot. If that doesn't work the mms app you're trying to use isn't compatible. I'm currently using the inverted aosp ics mms apk on viper rom.
