Hey everyone,
I recently flashed stock build 4.0.4 IMM76D via fastboot.. I had been having troubles with my NFC after messing around with Google wallet (cwm zip install method) on 4.0.3...
Now I noticed that the Google tags app doesn't show up in my apps list (although it is in system/app...when I click on it in astro, it asked me to install, I say yes, it fails...).
Is this normal? I'm trying to get back to a perfectly working, stable, up to date system before I mess things up further
Is anyone running 4.0.4 able to run the tags app?

I think they depreciated it so it doesn't work anymore

So does 4.0.4 have any NFC capabilities? I'm not able to share/beam info over NFC anymore..

I think I used to have the Tags app, and I remember having my contact on the tag to share. However, I had a bit of a problem recently, had to take my phone to the shop to have it repaired and I got it back with 2.3.6. It auto-updated to 4.0.4, but ever since then the Tags app has been missing, so they I think they made some sort of change to the OTA update between the first rollout and last Thursday (when my phone re-updated itself).
And anyway, if it was deprecated, why keep it in the ROM?
Almost certain tags was never a app in the app drawer.
Let's try change the permission of tag.apk to the same as what other .apk apps'
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
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app
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.
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 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.
Hope this helps those looking for the latest Apps from 4.2. A big thanks to the original posters!

I would re-download it and try again, does the issue arise from flashing a zip or are you pushing it manually to /system/app?

FYI, one thing I've noticed about this zip is that it may install some apps in non-standard locations, such as gmail in system/app. Since this is different than other gapps packages (gmail is usually not included, so is installed via market to data/app), the CM backup script won't keep this from ROM flash to ROM flash unless you follow up with this app package flash again.

Anyone have any issues with the 4.2 Play store? I can't figure out why this is happening, but out seems only a handful of my apps are compatible. I had originally changed my LCD.density to 210, and then read that it had to be set to one of the non-custom numbers of 160 or 240, so I changed it to 160 (for fun), but it appears I have the exact same problem.
I never had an issue with the play store or apps requiring 160 or 240 (though I know some apps and games won't be compatible unless the LCD.density, the model, and manufacturer are changed in the build.prop file)... So the 160 or 240 setting seems incorrect.
Anyway, I have tried clearing data/cache for the play store, and the same thing for Google services framework (and reboot), but still have no change.
Could it be anything else in my build.prop file?
I am running Baked Black Bean (a JB 4.1.2 AOKP ROM).
Any thoughts or help are appreciated!

Don't like the keyboard. When I swipe, it wont show my swear words, such as ****, ****, ****, and so on, even though I saved the words to my dictionary. **** always shows as duck and I can never type ******. I will stick with Swype Hopefully Android will allow to swipe custom saved words in the future / official release.
Hi, I just recently rooted my phone and installed the paranoid android jellybean rom. In doing so I lost my s voice. I was just wondering if there is a way to get it back. I know I can use Google now instead but it doesn't do commands the same way s voice does.

Plenty of keyboard choices to play around with in the play store, that's where I'd look for one. I prefer SwiftKey 3 This is a question you you might ask in the thread your Rom was downloaded from. I'd check to see what's already installed of course, Settings>Language and Input>Keyboards.
Thanks for the reply, i currently use SwiftKey but i used to have swype before i rooted my phone, do you know where i could download it? Also, I downloaded the s voice from the link you sent me but how would I install that?

I forgot that Microsoft renames downloaded executable files to ".zip". Use a file explorer app, like ES File Explorer, navigate to the downloaded app, and rename it Svoice.apk.
Google Swype beta and register for an account and u will get the baddest Swype out my brother. Fixed. Problem solved. To me it's a thousand times better than swiftkey.
