Sprint User - Sucessfully downloaded Indycar App from Market
If you have root, Install Market Enabler: This will allow you to temporarily set your phone to appear as a Verizon phone and download the Indycar App. Just did it and it works.
Description of Market Enabler:
"A SIM Tool application to change the SIM issuer code in the running system (not permanent, will be original after reboot or flight mode)
This application is ad supported, please see my other applications to get a donate key that will remove the ads ;-)
Precondition to use this tool is
- Rooted phone
- su app
- busybox"

Works for download the app but after the app seeks for Verizon network to authenticate.

Yeah, I've got a rooted Cliq that I downloaded the IndyCar App with, but it needs a Verizon data connection to enable the app. I think this is probably a similar check as my girlfriends Evo3D's NASCAR app, which needed a Sprint connection.
1. Any way to fool the app into authenticating?
2. Any way to transfer an authenticated app?

Perhaps someone with a verizon connection could create a backup after it authenticates the first time so that others can restore?
Would that work?

I did this by downloading and running the app on my Verizon Galaxy Nexus, then copying the backup to my Transformer Prime (non-Verizon). It bypassed the check, but alerted me that I was running a non-supported device and closed. I looks like not only does it do a network check, but also a device compatibility check. So no-go for me.

Hmm, that stinks. I 'downloaded' the app on my Dad's iPhone. It looks like it was just a web page that added an icon to his home screen. It was originally open in safari, and in the menu, there was an option to add the page to the homescreen. After that it seemed to work like a normal app. On the iPhone, it seems like it was just a link to a webpage.
I wonder how hard it'd be to decompile this thing and take out these checks?
Also, if you want to stream IMS radio from the webpage on an android, it looks like you need to set your useragent to the desktop. The streaming audio didn't work on racecontrol.indycar.com until I did that. I used Dolphin to change the user agent.

I would like to run it on my Galaxy nexus.
Zulucap - any chance you can share your backed-up app with me?

I have a backed up indycar mobile apk that installs gets threw the network check but fails because my device is not supported. If anyone has the knowledge to figure this out I would make it worth their while. Let me know and I can send the back up files.

if you have root change the name in the build.prop. use adb or ROM toolbox pro app, there is a setting called build.prop editor. pm me if it works. i would do this with netflix app back in the day. you have the find the name of the phone the backup came from, and change yours to that. ---this is how devs change the device name when you see a crazy ass phone name ex DARKSIDE Galaxy it is cap sensitive. ex. to get netflix on my nexus i would change Samsung to samsung. hope this helps

Did anyone ever get this to work? Would be nice for the 500!

It's easy enough to get it installed on a non-Verizon phone, but when you open the app, it still complains about not being on a Verizon network. I'm wondering if the initial load has to happen over a Verizon IP connection to "verify" the app. If that's the case, I wonder if you could launch it with a data connection shared via a Verizon hotspot? I guess if it can force the initial connection via the cell radio, this wouldn't work.
To install it on a non-Verizon device, you can go to the webpage play store and push it to your device.

Does this Theme actually exist?

Hi There,
Near the top of the web page there's a really cool London Theme.
You can find the web site "Theme Service | Apps"
Does it really exist? If it does can you show me where I can find it. If not maybe someone could create it....
Ben

Near the top of what web page? If you gave us a little more information we might be able to help.
If you go to Settings / Themes, tap on More Themes, and search for London, there are three themes found, but I don't know if any of them are what you're looking for.

Sorry about that, I haven't posted enough to allow me to put links into my posts.
Apparently, where I live only free themes are available. The London theme is a paid theme. (I contacted Samsung about it)
Do you know how I can get paid themes? Is there a workaround? I have posted this question in a new thread, so if you could reply to that new thread so save on keeping two threads going on the same subject.
Thank you for your assistance
Ben

Get a vpn app. Change region to US. clear theme store data. Take sim out. Reboot. Launch vpn (still no sim in) open themes. Enjoy.

Great, thanks for your help.

Here is a way with less steps.
Download Orfox and Orbot from play store. Start Orbot and change from world to us. Now you have a US vpn browser without having to pull sim or anything else

Does this method work with the theme store as well or it is just the orfox browser?

Built-in Malware?

Hey guys!
Is anyone aware about this news?
http://blog.checkpoint.com/2017/03/10/preinstalled-malware-targeting-mobile-users/
It seems that our devices has a bult-in malware:
com.lu.compass Galaxy S7 f901fd1fc2ce079a18c619e1192b14dcc164c97da3286031ee542dabe0b4cd8c
So... how do we remove it via ADB?
I own one Galaxy S7 Edge and I`m a little bit worried.... My device is non-rooted so I can't use Titanium Backup or any easy solution to remove it. I tried to look for "compass" and no app was found, probably this is an internal apk intented to run together with other apps (like GPS nav....). Right?
If the above statment is right, if we remove "compass" we may get force closes, right? Because every app that is intended to use compass will request data from it and there'll be no data being returned
Should we be worried?

Download this for the pc https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/software/debloater-remove-carrier-bloat-t2998294 and look for the package and disable it, but i doubt its on our phones since its not on mine, maybe its tied to a specific region.

Unidentifiable app that cannot be uninstalled

I was just looking through my app list removing things that I don't use and came across this app:
主页商店
https://www.dropbox.com/s/scojkuct0uk4cqg/Unknown App.png?dl=0
It translates as "Homestore". My S7 Edge is UK stock but I'm currently using it in Hong Kong, the only thing I can think of, is that it's the Samsung App Store? It has three permissions, phone, contacts and storage and by default had access to change system settings...
Any ideas what it is? It seems to be a system app but of what, I'm not sure

It's Samsung themes

I know bro, not only that a lot of people in a lot of threads I've read said that BK has some more interesting features. I really wanted to get it to work and tried hard but I just could not manage to get a hold of both of the app and the engine to install.

Note that you'll also need the "BK plugin 2" app to go with it

the bk plugin 2 is the problem lol.
if you dont already have it in your app history, it will not allow you to see it in the store.
trust me i tried for hours.
you simply CANNOT gain access to the bk plugin 2 if it's not already in your app history
EDIT: it's possible they reuploaded it, like pdp did. it seems the devs try to stay ahead of the play store by reupping every few days/weeks with minor changes and then google takes it down again.

BK was taken down by the developer due to Samsung. That said the developer provided a work around on their development blog

A bit of work involved but the app works afterwards.

I tried opening both of the APKs direct from that link, but it gave the same error parsing the package.
I downloaded it to my phone, then opened it from there and it worked fine. Followed the instructions and I was able to fully use it.

hi, i formatted my S9+ just when BK Manager and MDM Extension apks were removed from Play Store.
my question is, i have both of these apks files in my storage, will i be able to install them manually and whether the disabler app will still work as it was before? can someone kindly advise?
i have emailed the developer a couple of times asking the same questions, but not getting any response or help and was never my intent to ask for a refund.
File 1. com-kunkunsoft-packagedisabler1515128400
File 2. MDM_Extension_2_Full
as for the time being, is there any other good disabler app that we can use safely? i feel so lost without this app/feature.
thank you.

I followed this but I still can't get it to work. I don't know what I'm doing wrong or maybe it doesn't work anymore? I have recently used adb commands for other apps and they work fine.

The ADB command in the instructions is for a wrong package. You just need to change it to the one in their download link.

I did manage to get this working, but since then I've had a notification pop up on my phone a couple times which makes no sense to me. I'm wondering if this is a side effect of making that app an owner on the phone.
It tells me my phone is a "Managed Device" and that the organization may install software and make changes on the phone without my knowledge or consent.
A) That sounds scary, since I the phone didn't come from an organization.
B) Why is it suddenly popping up and telling me this? It's not asking for permission. It's not even asking me to acknowledge or read it. Just stating it like a fact. It's popped up at least twice over the last 2-3 days.
Any idea what's going on?

It's a response to trying to disable more packages than sammy wants you to. It removes a bunch of features. Sammy's way of trying to get people not to use package disabler.
What I did was disable all I wanted then uninstalled the disabler and it went back to normal with everything still disabled
Sent from my SM-G965U using Tapatalk

Is there a list of packages that are safe to disable?

Package Disabler for Samsung is back
App Name : Package Disabler Pro+ (Samsung)
Available in google play store.
That's it. It's a one-click solution to deal with bloatwares.

Nice business model. Release app, complain that google removed it, re-release it and ask people to pay for it again.
