I used to have an HTC EVO and though since Sprint made such a tempting offer on the S5 I would get a couple.
But I am not able to install some of my old apps like blackmart and such on the S5.
I rooted it before I even activated it through sprint by using wifi in my house, and it does have chainfire and titanium, just not understanding why it won't actually install it even though it goes through the motion, but then says "app not installed"
Any ideas?

First off, yes I did a search, both on XDA and via Google, and I turned up plenty of mentions, but no actual links.
The official AIM app for Android was released a while back, and it worked great (for me anyway); well, lo and behold my N1 was stolen on Sunday (bastards... WaveSecure's gonna put'em in jail tho), and I just got my replacement today. After rooting and flashing CM 5.0.6 and trying to restore everything to the way it was pre-theft, wouldn't you know it, the app no longer seems to be on the market. Anybody got the APK? Got it installed and can link up a copy from an Astro backup? It'd be greatly appreciated.
Edit: Yes I know there are other apps that provid AIM functionality. Yes I know about the issues many have had with the official app. Yes I'm still pissed that my N1 was stolen. Yes I'm gonna be selling an N1 for a low price once I get the stolen one back (and I'm praying I do). Thx for your concern and your help.
Can't help you with the actual AIM app, btu I can suggest eBuddy as an alternative.
I got the apk but I'm put right now. too bad I don't know how files.

^it's no rush, my dude. If you get around to uploading it when you get home or whenever you have time (assuming you meant you're "out" and I'm not misunderstanding), I'd greatly appreciate it.
When I can't find an app in the Market I can usually get the app wit Market Enabler and switching back and forth with T-Mobile and AT&T. It will usually work for at least one reboot if I fake a provider, reboot, fake the same provider again after the boot, open Market. T-Mobile is 310260. At&t is 310410.
BTW and off topic, does anyone know a place to find a list of ALL the different gsm.sim.operator.numeric values for all the world's Android Markets? That would be a big help.
Anyway, here's the official AIM app. Enjoy.
Hmmm, I just typed AIM and it was the first app in the Market to download.
As for selling the stolen phone, doesn't the IMIE or whatever its called get blacked listed/banned?
That's interesting... it's now showing up for me as well. It looked like a newer version than the one I installed though, it prompted me to "update" to 1.5.5.1 I believe it was; Astro shows the version I downloaded yesterday as being v1.5.5.1 however. Wierd.
I kid you not though, it wasn't showing up yesterday. I even went to the AIM mobile site and tried to get it via the QR code on the page, market found nothing. Odd.
Edit: Also, about the other phone... that's a good question. I guess we'll see if/when the other N1 is returned to me. *shrug*
I obtained a Samsung Galaxy S Showcase for Cristmas but as anyone that knows a cellular south phone right out the box sucks and does not live up to the full potential i had the motorola droid wich was the Milestone for CSouth now reading through google and forums people are saying the facinate ones work and the vibriant ones work on top of that i forgot the steps and programs used to root and run rom manager so if anyone could point me in the right direction as to how to sucssesfully root this SAMSUNG GALAXY S SHOWCASE FOR CELLULARSOUTH would be much apprecheated .

Thank You for Your Time and Please Feel Free To Call If you Do not Feel like typing alll the step 228-697-7467
Z4root in the market works fine for getting root. It will even unroot for you. I haven't tried a rom manager or flashed any other firmware yet. So far I am just watching the forums here waiting to here of other Cellular South Showcase owners who have success with a custom rom. Please let us know if you find something good that works.

I've got a showcase rooted with z4root and running the voodoo 5 lagfix that can be found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=871948
I noticed an immediate performance boost after installation, been working great and it's been that way for two or three weeks now. I did a benchmark with Quadrant Standard and it topped out at over 1700.

Can you please instruct me on how to find z4root in the market... I have searched for it dozens of times and it keeps saying 'unable to find, make sure you typed the name correctly.'
:-( very unhappy camper here, as I've been trying to root my Showcase for almost a month now and can't find that app...
you can try http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=747598
Just google Z4Root via a web browser (pc or phone). Download it and transfer it to the root of sd card. Then navigate to it through phone and launch. I will take a little while to complete so make sure you have a good charge and some patience. After 5-10 minutes your phone will reboot and it will be done.
Rooting Samsung Galaxy S Showcase
I just got my showcase yesterday and I would like to root it.
I just have a couple of quesions:
If I use Z4root, is it safe? Will Android 2.1 still be on it whenever it finishes?
Will it be completely blank, free of bloatware? This will be my first time rooting
and I'm not going to lie, I'm a bit nervous. I don't want to brick my phone
or mess it up in any way, I just want all the bloatware gone and to be able to
use my phone to its fullest extent.
Thank you!
I have rooted/Rom My showcase
I have rooted my phone using z4. I am running the pick N pack 3 rom.
It was not terrible difficult to do if you have done other phones in the past.
Rooting your phone does not wipe out any software or change out your rom image. It strictly allows applications to execute with higher privileges.
It will let you run things like "Wireless Tether for root user" . You will however need those elevated privileged to be able to replace the rom image on your phone.
I updated my phone to 2.2 so i can use Google Voice Actions. I have had it on many of my phones in the past and missed it. After upgrading my phone, the Google voice actions has a bug. I am unable to call or send text using voice actions. It seems voice actions will not see the last name in my contacts. I can not tell if this is an error with my Google account or on my phone.
I got my rom Image from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=970331 but it seems it has been taken down since then.
I do hear that Cellular South is coming out with the 2.2 update. They have been telling me "in a few weeks" since mid Feb. It is getting VERY frustrating. I asked them again yesterday and now they are saying the end of April. Anyway, I hope this helps guys.
Yes z4root...download app.... v...i'll give details...
Download App- Amazon app store...once downloaded search for..Z4root and bingo...Enjoy the Z4root!
Has anyone been able to get the Netflix app to work on their GS4G? I installed it but it says my device is not supported. The GS4G is not officially supported yet, but was curious if any developers were trying to get it to work? I can get to the login screen, but when I hit login it just shuts down. I have been waiting forever for this app!
I heard that it only worked on a certain type of processor or something? I also tried intalling it, but as soon as I try and login, it just closes the app instantly. I heard other people get it working on galaxy S models though. Some with and without custom firmware.
It says right in the app description its only for 4 different htc phones and the nexus s. It's been heavily discussed that changing the build.prop wont do a thing. It is a rom problem. Not an identifying problem.
I have the g2 which is a supported model, even then since i'm not running the stock rom it wont work.
i've been following this closely, and from what i can gather, only galaxy S variants running 2.3 have been able to get the netflix app to work.
Although this is the right place to discuss, there has been talk about it in here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1076508
I wish people would read and post things in the correct place. Not directed at you.
i installed a new rom on the mytouch 4g with sense 3.0 (god i wish we can customize our phones grrr) and netflix works flawlessly. its all about the rom. so once we get some custom roms ..tick tock...we can use it too! come on dev's no rush, but i'm getting antsy in my pantsy to flash some roms since i came from the hd2 to this phone. i have to feed my flashing addiction on my gf's mt4g which doesn't go over so well most of the time lol.
forgive my ignorance, heres some background info. Ive been using android for a long time but not very technically knowledgeable about the OS but I think its time i learn some stuff. Im far more knowledgeable than the average PC user about most hardware and software so I dont think it would be too hard to pick up some power user android tips/tricks. Only reason I havent done so yet is cause the stock version has always worked great for my needs so far but im starting to have some issues now. I fricking HATE forced OTA updates as they most often fubar my phone after they install. Ive never rooted, thought im starting to look into doing so as it may be beneficial to my needs. I currently have a samsung galaxy note 3 on verzion with unlimited data which i pretty much only use as a wifi hotspot device, upwards of 250 gig a month for about 6 months of the year to stream HD video TV shows and as my main internet source while i travel and a samsung galaxy note 4 on att with 30 gig a month data allowance which i use as my main mobile phone/tablet device needs. In my experience ATT sucks a fat one with very sporadic data speeds and successful call rates even with 4-5 bars of 4G LTE signal which varys from non existent to moderate at best wherever i go. Verizon is 2x as fast as atts top speeds consistently with no wavering in speeds anywhere and with equal signal verizion is always at least 2x faster than att wherever ive tested them so far. id throw the att at a brick wall and only use verizon except for the fact verizon has zero coverage where i live most of the time.
Anyways back to the main topic question, I have a DJI Inspire 1 quad copter and use my att samsung galaxy note 4 phone to view the camera as i fly and run the DJI Pilot app. I hate and do not want to use the updated app version as it removes features and adds unwanted restrictions and I was wondering if someone could tell me how I can copy the app apk file I think its called? from my phone to my pc to preserve my current version of the app and install it later to a different device or my same device after a factory reset if ever necessary. I dont not want to lose the current app version that im running now. Its since been updated on the google play store so you can no longer the the version im currently running from there. Is this possible without being rooted from a samsung galaxy note 4 running android version 5.0.1 on att? I may have the same app version installed on my note 3 on verizon running kit kat i think, and maybe even an older att note 2 running an even older android version, not sure which, but its on the OTA update that fubared the note 2 on att.
oh and one more question please, my note 3 on verizon has downloaded another OTA update and keeps asking me to install which i keep postponing cause i use foxfi for my hotspotting needs and am scared the OTA update will screw that ability up so i dont want to install it. Its working perfectly for what i want to use if for right now so no reason to update in my opinion. Is there any way to delete this OTA update file and get it to stop asking me to update every time i use the device?
any info appreciated, thanks a million!
1)Go settings >
About phone/system updates
Select options and select never update
2)or restrict back ground data in data settings

If u want to back up your current app then u can easily do it wit any backup app...available in store..
Like -App backup and restore etc
Or u can use es Explorer there a option to backup apps...
And for restrict ur update. There may be a option to restrict update or check update in system update setting.. Or you can restrict background data for system updates...
Hope this helps
I've disabled them now but it's to late, it already downloaded and keeps asking to install. Any way to find and delete the file it wants to install?

If not... Factory reset is the option..
So I still have my first smart phone and it works, I even replaced the screen last year.
I don't use it or anything but hang on to it for sentimental reasons.
So the other day I went to try and go into the Play store and a few other things, apparently Android 2.3.4 is fairly limited.
I tried downloading and installing apk's from apkpure but got unpacking errors.
I'm not getting rid of it, but would be nice if I could do something with it.
I looked at Lineage in hopes of a newer OS, but yeah... nope
Anything I can do to get a modern browser or YouTube support?
Or other ideas what to do with it?
Thanks!
Place it in your antiques cabinet.

Hey!
You got a piece of great history there! Dont get rid of it.
Im sure you have read this thread but if not have a look and maybe you are able to root and update to a newer Android version and possibly use browser and you tube.
If no updates I would use it as Alarm and keep it close to me, its so darn beautiful!
