Is anyone using the old Nextdoor app on ICS? - General Questions and Answers

I have a device that uses Android Ice Cream Sandwich 4.0.4. Until recently the Nextdoor app (it's like a neighborhood type app) worked well, but recently it started crashing. I found out that the version I have 1.100 is actually very old and they stopped updating it for ICS. I e-mailed them and asked for the last apk to work with Android 4.0.4 and they told me that they only support 5.0+ now. I'm not sure if that's just the company line or it's possible to use an older version of the Nextdoor app on ICS.
Is anyone able to login and use Nextdoor on ICS? Also what apk sites are safe? The only apk sites with the old versions of Nextdoor that may work look sketchy to me. Isn't there an authoritative place to download old apk files or at least get their checksums?
Sorry if this isn't the right place to post I didn't know where to put it.

Android Market 1.713

Hi everyone,
I need com.android.vending.apk (aka Android Market ver 1.713) that was pushed to Android handsets about a month ago. I disabled updating on my phone so I can't get it.
Can anyone who updated to this version pull it from their phone and PM me? It shoud be located in /data/app/com.android.vending.apk
Thanks a lot!
It wasn't in /data/app, but /system/app/Vending.apk, but here it is, Google Market v1.713 yoink'd from HTC Clay's SuperBad v1.4.
Use of android marketplace on miphone
evening all,
stupid question but would it be possible to modify and use this apk on another type of android based phone in order to gain access to the android marketplace?
see ive got this android 1.5 based myphone thing thats actually reasonable for what i paid for it, but it came without access to the android marketplace.
cheers for any ideas on how to do it...
I could be wrong, but as far as I'm aware, yes, you should be able to install that .apk file and get access to the Android Market on your phone.

Oh, OK thanks a lot. I guess the cooker of SuperBad 1.4 manually put the newest version of Market to /system/app/Vending.apk
@resonant I think that you can't use this particular file, because this is the market app for Android 2.1, not 1.5.

[Q] Hey Sir. how are you. Help about android market?

Hey every sirs.
Does your new android phone( When you buy a new phone ) already have android market? or you bought a new phone, and then you have to download android market apk to install android market?
and I want to know where can I get android market apk install file???
you understand what i mean sir??
Thanks you so much!!
I went to market.android.com. and clicked my market account and then clicked settings, it showed me:There are no Android devices associated with this account.
and then I checked the help. It seems mean, I need run market on my phone first. but my phone does not have android market.
and search android market apk on google, there is no answer, and no website have an android market apk file download..
In USA, the phone already have android market?????
Yes, almost all Android phones have the Market pre-installed. I'm surprised that yours doesn't. What kind of phone do you have?
You don't need to download anything 'usually' to get to the 'android market'... unless of-course it's your phone By the way, which phone are you using?
Your phone probability has it
As a default, your phone probably has the market apk.
Otherwise, you can download it in the following site.
You can search market.apk in the internet.

Hey guys
Thanks you very much.
My phone is zte x876
Maybe in usa all phone have market.apk
but I am in china, and as i know every android phone in china does not have android market.
I tried to search market.apk, there is no website can download...
Thanks Choonsung, the website you gave me is good
I downloaded it.
my zte x876 said: There is a problem parsing the package when i install the market.apk
and then I downloaded another apk file from your site.
This time it works, my phone showed me 'Installing', but after this, it shows me 'Application not installed'...... so I dont have a market in my phone...
my android is android 2.1 system.
you guys know why??
and who can please give me a market.apk for android 2.1 system to [email protected]
Thanks so much!!!
Hey guys, I searched why we dont have android market.
now i known the reason that why we dont have google android market in the phone. Because the big government company (called China Mobile) build their own market (called Mobile Market), The ****ing Government company want to make more money. but everyone knows Mobile Market is totally ****ing rubbish, I never use mobile market...
We love google, but our government asked google leave china!!!!
So far , for what I know they all do.

MSI WindPad Enjoy 7 firmware update

If you have an MSI windpad 7 or 10 and want to update its firmware, here is the link to the latest : http://event.msi.com/nb/enjoy/enjoy7.html#/?div=Firmware
Fair warning : This 2.3 gingerbread update doesn't improve performance much, it looks better than android 2.2 but people report different bugs that I didn't experience myself.
A bug I am experiencing with it is that its bluetooth and wifi are going crazy, not detecting devices like they used to do on android 2.2. be warned if you use this tablet with your car's bluetooth, it probably will stop connecting to it after the 2.3 update.
IMPORTANT MESSAGE : if anyone just bought this tablet and still has android 2.2 on it, please be cool and catch an image of it to share with us who updated to the buggy firmware. MSI customer support sucks, they don't keep old firmware on their website!
Here's how you can make an "image" of your firmware : http://www.androidpolice.com/2010/0...nandroid-backup-and-clockworkmod-rom-manager/
You should end up with a .img file that you can reinstall later if you find out the update is buggy for you.
Don't hesitate to post or PM me if you need help.
Hi adilator, just found this post via a google search. I have a windpad 7 that I havent updated yet. Am happy to do an image of it when I get home later.
Was hoping to find a way to get Skype video working on the damn thing but guessing this firmware update doesnt help so wont put myself through it
Hi leemako.
The normal skype you download from android play (market) doesn't work on this tablet, you need to use the one bundled with its original firmware. if you updated skype and it's not working, you can easily revert the update and go back to the original installation by going to the applications management page and click on "unistall updates".
is your tab on android 2.2 or did it come with 2.3 preinstalled?
I'd really appreciate your help if you can share the img with us.
Btw, if you must root the tab, don't do the root img available on a thread in this forum, it will install a new version of the firmware with the bug I'm trying to avoid. You should test the various froyo root tools available such as Z4root or gingerbreak, look here : http://www.itsmyiphoneworld.com/android-device/howtorootandroidversionfroyo222
ah sorry, I just checked and it was bundled with 2.3.1.
Hey it's ok leemako.
For anyone landing on this page after a search, if you're looking for the best custom rom for this tablet, here's where you should look : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1668786
It's a great rom based on the latest official rom but with an ICS skin that makes it look a million times better.

Need Help getting Eye-Fi v1.2.2 apk (free)

Hi All,
I have bought an Eye-Fi Wi-Fi SD Card for my camera, but the android app doesn't work. I have version 1.3.2 installed. I want to try an older version 1.2.2 to see if it will work, but the only ones able to download from Google Play are running Android 2.1 and I have 2.2.
Thanks for any help!

What problems are you having? Going to an older version of the app shouldn't be necessary.

The images won't upload. The tablet wifi does connect to the card. My tablet is an Archos 101 G8 with Android 2.2. I've tried everything at the Eye-Fi forums and no luck.
I loaded the newest version of Eye-Fi on my Android phone (4.0.4) and it worked great! So I think it is OS issue on my tablet and I read on the Eye-Fi forums that the newest version will only work on Android 2.2 or higher.. even though I have 2.2, I think I need to try the version which works with Android 2.1 and that is Eye-Fi 1.2.2.
Anyone with an older phone or tablet that has Andoriod 2.1 should be able to download Eye-Fi 1.2.2 from Google Play.
Thanks for any help!

I'd recommend contacting their support, website is support*dot*eye*dot*fi/contact-support/ (sorry, can't post links yet) They'll probably want to get a log to see why they're not uploading. I don't think downgrading versions will fix your issue. I had a phone with 2.2 and the current version of the app worked just fine for me.

alright first of all don't be angry with my answer when you read it, its the Truth, we cant do much about it, unless there's a supa mega hacker who knows everything about huawei and has taken this thing apart 9000 times. this phone is only single cored phone at 528MHz with only 256MB of ram and only 512MB internal space ( around 150mb for the user to use.). the Specs on this phone are Terrible. im sure this was a great phone of its time and maybe still is to the people who have it, im not saying its not possible to put jelly bean onto this device (nobody would even think of putting android 4.3 onto this...) its just no one will want to take the time to get it to this device . Firefox browser for android is compatible with android 2.2 which your phone has you should be able to get it onto your device. if you want to root your phone you can try this method Here its is compatible with most phones android 2.1-3.3, if it doesn't work i would Google it. if that method i showed you please Tell me so we can help others root theirs
Edit: did a quick search and firefox says it only works on phones with 384 MB of Ram sorry mate
you're help means a lot, thanks!! ...
I didn't get mad. Instead, I laughed like crazy!!
I guess I just need another phone.
Metropcs was bought out by T-Mobile and all metropcs phones will need to operate on the T-Mobile network by 2015.
Can you suggest a phone that will have the features of the new android and internal storage you suggested and be able to run on or be switched over to the T-Mobile signal when the time comes?
I used gingerbreak 1.2 on my phone and busy box to get Root. It works terrific!
Do you have a link for Firefox 5.0? It's old as hell but none of the newer version's will install.
I really appreciate Your help!! It's been VERY enlightening.

i wouldn't know any phones from metropc that would be able to get onto a t-mobile network. as for the firefox i would just search up firefox 5.0 apk.
search for Firefox 5.0 apk at ftp.mozilla.com and old version. com ...
I did manage to install several versions of Firefox and none of them either run or show up in the applications menu. I did install 7zip from the Google play store, which allowed me to login to play. Google. Com and install the newest version,but no luck.
I found the http://FTP.Mozilla.org site with all the old versions of Firefox from version 0.8 (2004) to version 23 for 2013
There is also a site old. Versions. Firefox. Com that I got the first Firefox version 5.0 from but I can't get it to run or create /etc/Firefox folders with Root Explorer.
Currently, I'm running Gingerbreak 1.2 and Busybox Pro with PDANET and Titanium Backup to freeze unused metropcs apps.
I'm sorry you dunno metropcs and their cdma system. That's perfectly okay.
Thank you very much for being here to help me!! - Your knowledge
is absolutely priceless my friend.

there is a way to get it working on your device just have to find the right one maybe a modified version.
a modified version of Firefox will work! ..
I started downloading Ubuntu and I'm still searching for a Firefox that will work on this. I actually found a premium Linux installer on Google play that installs Ubuntu and Debian from sourceforge.net.

sweet thinkin of getting ubuntu on one of my phones one of these days. maybe if i revive my galaxy s2, i heard they put it on that.
Ubuntu on android from Google Play Store
I got the complete Linux installer from Google play and got the Ubuntu 12 and debian small to go onto my phone right from sourceforge. Net.
The complete Linux installer has a direct link in their app so there's no guessing if your adding the right thing.
I've been thinking about my spam links and wondered if there was a clean version of gingerbreak 1.2.floating around.??
I'm thinking I need to reroot my phone, from scratch, eh??
