Hi, I just got a Sensation a couple of days ago and there have been a few problems I hope you guys could help me with.
Firstly, my Android Market only shows a few of the apps that there should be. Loads of apps such as the launchers or Angry Birds for example aren't showing up. When I open the Market from my desktop it says that these apps cannot be installed in my country (UAE) when i have friends here with other Android phones with the very same apps.
Secondly, whenever I play a video on the phone it plays fine for about a minute and then the audio switches off and it only comes back if I skip scenes. I don't if this is a fault with my phone or maybe a wrong format I'm using, can you guys recommend a converter?
Thanks for any help, it's much appreciated.

I do not know the answer to your first question, but I would assume that your friends either have a different ROM flashed to their phone that allows them to bypass country restrictions, or they have downloaded the APK's from somewhere else, then 'adb push'ed them to their device... Someone more knowledgeable than me can answer that one...
The second question regarding video converters... I have used an application called Handbrake in the past to re-encode my video files, and it has worked wonders. I highly recommend it. Link: http://handbrake.fr/
Hope this helps.

You can try to find the apk for the apps you want and install them outside of Market by copying the apk to your SD card then installing from there (be sure to check the allow non-market applications box under the applications settings) this should (I think) bypass any country restrictions. If you look around I'm sure you can find the apks you want. If not you could probably make a request for certain apps and someone can upload the apk for you.
Thanks, I'll let you know how it goes.
Where do I paste the App file in the SD card?
Anywhere . You can, for example create new folder - "Apps" on yours sd and paste applications there.

Ahh, sorry should've been more specific. After copying the file over, where do I go in the phone to install it?
Nevermind, got it.
You can use the web-market to install apps. No idea why it doesn't appear on the phone's market app, but it should appear on the web market.
market.android.com
For the second problem: what video format are you using? Try *.mp4 or *.avi and see if they work Also, what resolution is the video?

You can try another video player such as MoboPlayer to see if you have converted your video ok.

I also use HandBrake converter.
There is an app called android market enabler "lets you access paid apps from countries where paid apps are not yet available". But it requires you to root your phone which is not currently possible on our phone. This could be what your friends are using.
http://www.xda-developers.com/android/market-enabler-v3-0-8-for-root-users/
I just copied some random avi files I had on my desktop, which gave me the problem above. Haven't tried using converter yet but I'll give it a shot now.

Thanks guys, I tried the qqplayer and its playing perfectly. Though one more thing, how do you set custom (from the SD card) notifications for things like messages or emails? Atm I can only find it for ringtones. Oh and how do I switch off the annoying sound upon unlocking?
Sorry for the trouble, first time user and all. =/
lolwut16,
I am from UAE too and have the same problems with paid apps from Android Market.
I am just waiting a software solution to turn my Sensation S-off and install a "market enabler".
You are not alone........

make a folder on the root of your storage card & name it notifications & put the sounds in there.
for the weather sound you can disable that in the weather app or somewhere like that
Hi,
my question is, is there any App outside that looks exactly like the Sony Tablet Media Player?
Or any ROM Leak to dump the apk for our transformer?
I saw the app on the IFA and it looked beautiful.
Sorry, i have no picture of it.
Sincerely yours Steke
You are going to have to wait until the tablet actually comes out of a firmware leaks to rip the music.apk from it. should be ~ the 12th
Also wrong section
I'm also looking for someone to extract the apk from an S2 tablet.
Sony media players looks real nice!
this is the system dump
http:// http://www.4shared.com/file/nC-OMqd9/TabletSsystem.html
please try and port the PlayStation app and the media app
i will give it a try but that links broken
try this link for system dump
www.4shared.com/file/nC-OMqd9/TabletSsystem.html
try this link for tabletS dump(1gb)
www.4shared.com/file/lp2GnnXg/TabletSdump.html
also try and port the home launcher
thanks in advance
So this is a start i know its not the music player you are looking for but it is an improvement over the stock one.
Its the Google music app but it doesn't have that stuttery problem that the one that ships with the transformer has and it feels sooo much smoother
edit again after reboot it looses a reference and loops saying it cant find album art so don't use it
It will get just as glitchy as the stock one after 1 reboot and after 2 it will get smooth agin but it wont load the album art
The app you guys really want that looks awesome is the mediaplayers.apk which i cant get working right now but im asking around for help so we might be able to get it done soonish
Im also going to try to get the browser.apk and the S-launcher2.apk
Edit:also visualiser.apk
ok so i made a thread to try to get everything ported i have done the bootanimation and walla
paper rip already and am working on a theme but the apps are going to take some time and im going to need some help

Maybe we can ask him, that he upload it, or send us a PM.
In our own responsibility.

agree with steke , but why on earth port from another tablet be a impossible thing?!!! it's just a single apk player like google music

I don't know much about Sony systems but take for instance MotoBlur. Most of the custom applications need to be on a Blur ROM to work, they are very much embedded in the system.

everything i have tried to port has depended on librarys and permisions native to the original tablet which are often incompatable with our system i will give it another go tomorrow and see what i can do but no promisses

Nice!
Do you think it would be easier with an ICS Rom, because its open source and maybe, you can combine it or port the lib files to another Rom?
Steke
the fact that it is open sourced does not matter at all the fact is that i dont know how to get past a certain point in the porting process. there are no guides on how to do it and whenever i get a knowledgeable person to help me out they always leave before we are finished. So if someone who has knowledge about all of the steps and all of the troubleshooting could help me out once and help me trouble shoot this i will be able to do it on my own in the future which in turn would enrich the community.
any progress????!!! please people , the only thing that asus tf101 miss , bring it on
no because there are no app devs working on this and im stuck
here is something i ripped that might keep you happy in the meantime
View attachment NemoPlayer.apk-was ripped out of the acer a500 system dump and didn't rely on any libraries or extra permission
I recently purchased a mid tablet off of amazon that shipped to me from china. It came with the goolge play store but it looks like it has been limited. when I open the play store it does not appear with any of the books movies or music that it usually has on other devices. I'm running 4.0.3 but some apps like chrome show up as "not compatible with this device", and there are many more like that. Some wont even show up in the search. I thought it might be a different version of the play store so I tried installing a different apk that I found, and that did nothing. I also tried going to the browser to use the store but the device is blacked out. Then I figured I would try to root the tablet, however I can't seem to find any drivers for it. I have read that changing the device name in build.prop folder can fix this but with being able to get root access I can't even try this.
Can someone help me find the drivers for this? It is a parkly rk2906.
Or maybe a different way to to get root.
Am I on the right track trying to change the device name or is there some thing else I should try?
I tried posting a link to amazon here but I'm new to the forum so they won't let me. If u would like it let me know and ill pm it to u.
I know a bit about android but I'm still pretty much a noob thanks in advance for ur help.
same issue

I am having the EXACT same issue. Chinese tablet (Ainol Novo 7 Advanced - II) with ICS 4.0.3 but Google Play wont let me download ICS apps because it thinks my device is incompatible.
There's a modded play store on the forum somewhere that has country restrictions removed.

So after that didn't work I use LCD density modder to get the market. Now the market works but I still don't have the music, movies, or books. Now I can seem to undo it to try a different mod.

In instances like this, it's friendly to post what the problem was and how you fixed it.
That's so when someone googles this exact same problem and they find this thread, they will also find a sollution and not just the question. See the cartoon in my signature line for an amusing view of why this is important. :good:

This could be for a number of reasons but the main one for me is to avoid using special characters in the game title, description, etc. Doing so will cause this error when it comes to compiling (after the 20mins it takes for it to convert the game).

Thanks - I have looked at these threads but still cannot work out what the problem is, ive tried everything!
Hi, i think i know the problem, i had the same issue a couple of months ago, the download you used doesnt let you launch the appliction because its missing fies, i don't understand why.
i don't know where i found it, but i will look and the files you just put in the psxperia folder and it worked.
'.psxperia.247' folder is missing
i will upload it now the full psxperia 2.0 and it should work.
http://www.mediafire.com/?w6cqau7bhgicx8o
The PsxPeria is built in 3 sites. At fitst go to the second one and open the needed psxperia folder(if i remember right its something with crash bandicoot...), and only after that do the rest on the last third site.
thanks all, seems to be working now, its doing something anyway! not sure why my download had some files missing, odd!
Same i never understood that either, glad its working.

20mins to convert a game? How come it takes so long? Mine takes about 30 seconds at most! Converted a small game the other day (might have been motoracer or something) and it took about 10 seconds!
