BBM is not compatible with note 8 - Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Themes and Apps

Hi everybody
BBM is not compatible with note 8 N5100
any solution?
thanks

maybe not for now....

These steps work for me:
1. Install BBM on your other android phone. The phone must have ROM Toolbox/Titanium Backup or other app that has ability to backup app to SD Card.
2. Backup the installed bbm in your SD Card.
3. Copy the com.bbm.apk to your PC. then copy it to Note 8 SD card.
4. Install the apk.
5. Open and follow the setup and registration process.
PS: You need to have strong internet connection to succesfully setup and register to BBM. Connection error happened frequently when I use 3G signal.

how can i copy install application from one x10 to other x10

hey guys
it possible in x10i to copy install application from my x10i to other x10i??
like iphone ".app"...i have root my x10i and also install root explorer..so it possible to copy direct install file to other phone??
i want to know this because there is one call recorder install on my phone and its best call recorder ever i had seen..
i use total call recorder full (it record calls but not shown recording file in record list, if u wana listen recording than u have to use file explorer and than u have play it ) thats why total call recorder is not best for me..
the call recorder which i use is out of market now..and i think author of that "callrecorder" is "Hongbo"..
if you have Apk file of that "hongbo" callrecorder than please share with me..

You can use Titanium Backup to back up your apps to the SD card, then transfer them over and install them.
is it possible?

Install and run it, select Backup/Restore, select the program you want, press Backup, browse SD for it, done.
Or you could use RootExplorer as you've mentioned.
doesn't bump have an option to send apps?
if you download it from market
open root explorer
and on the root of the device
choose (Data) folder it's the 3rd folder
after cache and cdrom
inside Data there is folder called (app)
you will find all installed apps inside it
search what app you looking for
then copy it and paste to sd card
and here you go.
If you install a paid app for from 1 device to another device, you can not do a app update for that paid app, each paid app is registered to that device IME no.
willl it works

Installing WhatsApp on Tablet Plus (WIFI only)

Hi, people!
I saw this post by cedricl on the Tablet S forum and worked for me. Maybe anyone of you must be trying to do the same, so I've decided to share this solution for you
How to install Phone-only apps (Like WhatsApp or Viber) on a WIFI-only Tablet?
- root your phone
- install whatsapp on your phone
- install TitaniumBackup on your phone
- with TitaniumBackup make a backup of whatsapp
- open file manager on your phone and look for TitaniumBackup folder
- take the 3 files with the whatsapp name in them and move these to your tablet s
- root your tablet
- install TitaniumBackup on your tablet
- open TitaniumBackup on your tablet
- in file manager go to TitaniumBackup folder
- move the 3 whatsapp files taken from the phone and place them in the TB folder
- open TitaniumBackup and "restore" your whatsapp*
*OBS.: First you must restore the app only, so it'll be installed on the system. Then you must restore the DATA. The data is the most important thing, because it'll reconfigure your WhatsApp the same way that it is on the phone. If you restore everything together, it'll not work.

Easier steps(the phone must be rooted):
-install whatsapp on phone.
-go to /data/app and copy the apk with whatsapp icon and transfer it to the tab.
- Install it.

Whatsapp uses a telephone number as userid/login credentials. Unfortunate. You will need to create an account using a phone first for it to work.
Hello, I have an HTC Flyer and what works for me when it comes to installing 'non-tablet' apps like whatsapp I simply search the apk of the application using Google and just run the apk file. Hope this helps

by installing the apk on the tab, will that log me out of whatsapp on my phone? or can I use both simultaneously, ie - use whatsapp while on the bus on my way home from work, then get home and use my tab to continue the conversation?

It will log you out, it tells you that one phone number can be used only in one app. I had to use my work phones number on tablet. If there is another workaround, I would like to know it too.

you should make an backup of WhatsApp on your Android Smartphone. It'll generate 3 files on your phone's sdcard. Get'em and copy to your tablet's sdcard. Then do these steps.
Everything is explained on my first post.
PS.: Some are saying that it'll stop it from working on the other device. Maybe you are right. But when I made this post I could use freely in both device's at the same time. The only issue was that when I was chatting over the tablet, for example, the phone wasn't receiving any messages.

Sideloading help.

I recently used the Nook Developers guide to sideload apps onto my Nook Hd, And all went well, but when I installed Injustice, I get ''failed to load you may have not installed this app'' or something along those line, could anyone help me fix this problem.
Have you moved the application data to your sdcard?
To install this game you need the apk + the data. After downloading the data it will be in a folder named om.wb.goog.injustice i think. Copy this folder to /Android/obb/ (on your sdcard) and then run the game
It should work fine after that
Please press the thanks button if i helped!

Well I installed using command prompt as it is the easiest way to sideload on the nook HD without rooting the device, I tried locating the file you said but I can not find it.
The files don't come with the APK file. You sideloaded the APK using ADB. You need to copy paste the data to your device which is over 1 GB I think. It's a separate file. Ughh you're making it sound harder than it is. It's extremely easy. Plus there are tens of easier ways to install apps on your nook.

Ok and were might I find this file which is over 1 GB? and I thought this was the essayist way to donwload incompatible games to the nook HD, All help is appreciated btw :laugh:
Feel free to click the thanks button. Lol
Just use Google to find data for your apk.. Search "injustice apk + data" and you'll find many results.
One of the ways to install Apps is installing another store on your device other than Google Play Store.
Or if you want to sideload apps easily without command prompt you can use APK Batch Installer.. Or use apkinstaller.
Sent from my One X+ using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
The most common error for sideloading is the resolution or graphic chip incompatible errors. Sideloading app data should not be the problem, try to download a fresh apk from the market and copy Data
It should work fine

so I downloaded the apk+data file for injustice and took the data file and put it in the android/obb directory on my device (I don't have a sd card if a sd card is required please tell me) and I still got the error message, so I decided to turn airplane mode on and the game started up and I got the opening cutscene then it loaded and booted back to my home menu, should I have used the apk that came with the data file or will any injustice apk work?

RAW sd card
Helllo guys.I am facing an issue regarding my sd card which it might be irrelevant with this thread but i need help:crying:
My sd suddenly appears to be useless!While it was working flawlessly suddenly a message appeared saying:"blank card or non recognisable".
I have searched and tried all the solutions suggested in various sites but not luck at all!My pc recognises it as :RAW card".
Any help?I have so many photos stored in this card:crying:
You are lucky at least its ext sd otherwise its difficult to get list files from int sd.
Still chances are there you may get image back though card cant revive. Try some good sw for image recovery i had same and retrive all images but couldnt get card working.

Below are the some changes i have noticed.
1) new lockscreen
2) album art now shown in lockscreen.
3) multi-window added.
4) gps toggle changed with location.
5) multi user support.
6) personal message now shown in lockscreen and its customisable.
7) new type of keyboard.
8) battery performance improved.
Screenshots coming soon.

I know it probably isn't a big whoop, but that site says sm-t210, no sm-t210R.
Even so, I downloaded the rom/firmware (same thing right?) from the live-samsung updates site. I'm just trying to find a reliable way to back up my apps. Too bad Kies only does contacts and stuff. How did you handle your apps before upgrading? Did you use ODIN to do it?

Well either use Titanium Backup or a similar app, or just flash the firmware using odin. I did that and all my data is still present an the update did not wipe anything. And yeah I guess ROM and firmware are pretty much the same thing. At least everybody uses them as synonyms. Though I think there is a slight difference and I personally prefere the word ROM.

Thanks for clearing that up for me. Since I don't want to go through rooting again (I had a scary experience with it), I could just flash it? You just flashed the firmware using odin and it didn't affect things like data, game progress (if you have games), things that are stored in memory? I know a few of my apps are connected to certain accounts, so their data is backed up, but my other apps like Pocket I'm unsure about.
What happened with rooting was it caused my device to have a really dim screen with weird colors, and in my panic I went to factory reset because at that point I was trying to get it back the way it was before. I have flashed a stock firmware to get it restored, but that was after I factory reset, so I couldn't tell if my apps lost data since everything was long gone. But if what you said is true, I could theoretically flash 4.4.2 kitkat on my 4.1.2 jelly bean, and my apps would be just as they were, right?
I just wish someone could explain more of the technicality of what flashing a firmware really does to a device. Is it like sweeping a rug out from under a table, with all the dishes still on it, and then replacing the rug with a new one with everything still in place? Sorry, I'm a visual person lol.
Can this firmware (due to the fact that it is completely stock) be flashed in the stock recovery? Just wondering.. I have not modified my device with root or stuff like custom ROMS...

I took a leap of faith and agreed to update my firmware thru kies - and surprise - all my apps are still there, and plus my device is now 4.4.2 kitkat!!! I'm so relieved. Thanks to everyone who's tried to help me!
So if anyone is wondering, if you don't want to use ODIN, you can use kies (just make sure you have the right version for your device) and it will detect the firmware for 4.4.2 kitkat and update your sm-t250r for you!! And you will not lose your apps!!

I think you can't flash through stock recovery.
Just connect your tab with kies and update your device without losing your apps, data, progress etc

I know it probably isn't a big whoop, but that site says sm-t210, no sm-t210R.
Even so, I downloaded the rom/firmware (same thing right?) from the live-samsung updates site. I'm just trying to find a reliable way to back up my apps. Too bad Kies only does contacts and stuff. How did you handle your apps before upgrading? Did you use ODIN to do it?

If you use apps like Asphalt 8, mc4 etc you can save your progress on cloud.
If you want to avoid downloading the big games follow the steps below:-
1)install apk extractor.
2)extract apk's of the apps of which you want to backup.
3)open file manager and go to android obb and copy the main obb file of the game you want to desktop.
4)the extracted apks will be in a folder called extracted apks. Copy them also to desktop.
5)in file manager open android named folder and open data folder.
6)and copy all the data to your desktop.
7) that's it you have now backed up your apps and their data.
To restore the apps first install each apk one by one and then place the main obb file in their respective places and put the data files in the data folder.
As I don't use much apps I had factory resetted my device and then flashed the firmware.

Thank for you reply! I have already found a solution without using Odin. I used Kies and it upgraded me to 4.4.2 with all my apps and data untouched!! Thanks for your help though!

Please does bluevpn work after the update? Because I use it to connect to my blackberry and browse the net, I don't want to lose that connectivity
Installed via kies successfully! What is the best method to re-root?
