There was an app on the market called forcering, it was used to turn the ringer on the G1 on if set to silent and maybe misplaced. You would send a codeword sms to the phone and it would switch from vibrate to full ringer. The app is no longer available, I was wondering if maybe someone had it and could upload it on here.
I was looking for this app also, I couldn't find it anymore? I'm going to search internet and see if I can find the apk
I have just re-imaged my phone and am missing this app too. If anyon has it, please upload it.
I have a feeling though that it will resurface later this month when Adroid Market will introduce paid apps.
is it even possible to put the package of the app on here without the use of the market?
dude I was beta testing for stericson and lost it too

I found the app on the internet but could not find it in the market:

That looks like a site for posting reviews.
i have the force ring backed up on my memory card.. but im not sure if i can post it since the dev. took it off the market ..
dave, meaning that you feel that you shouldn't in respect of the developer or that you can't?

I say post it, or email it to me, the app is very useful. One of my roomates still has it on his G1 because we havent rooted it yet. My other roomate and I have rooted and since lost the app and would like it back.
I'd really like a copy of this as well. Sending you a PM, Dave.
Please post it, or I'll pm harass you!
i would also like this app after i finally modded my phone to rc30 i lost every thing....please pm me...thanks in advance.

Disclaimer- This was downloaded for free Via the Android Market and backed up using Astro if the developer would like me to take this off then i will take it off
thank you agian...i really like this app I used this three times the first time i had it...
your welcome and btw did it install for you ?? i never re-installed any of my backed up apps
i'm curious as well, did it work, and if it did, do we need to push this app in recovery mode. never pushed an app on my phone except the market so not sure how to do it
hbguy
Use adb install, not adb push.

ok so, i downloaded RSS Reader on my phone a while back, someone msg me on the site and wanted it as well, so its no longer on the market (unless the name changed) and its not in the application list. Its under widgets... i wanna help this person out cause i've been helped out in the past so its only right....any ideas?
If it's a widget then long press on the home screen and select widgets and scrool to see if it's there.
it is there, i still use it, i just don't know how to find it so i can give it to this guy/girl
This thread will be closed for i can see the near future on where this is gonna lead.
If ANYone contributes by his/her words of how to distribute paid apps to the unauthorized owner, well, lets not find out.
Find another site to ask this question, or a different way of asking it.
If the widget is still installed it's still in the app list. Sometimes apps in the apps list aren't listed as "App Name" but instead as com.designer.app.description. If the app hasn't gone paid the developer may have pulled it for some other reason. You may be able to find some info about said app, find other apps on the market by said developer and have your friend contact the dev to request a copy. If the app has gone paid and is listed on the market as such and you and your friend really like it well then it's probably worth the $0.99 or w/e their now asking.
As for getting it from your phone to your friends I fear the wrath of Mikey1022 and therfore have conviently forgotten how it's done A little searching should provide you with the know how...
lol its all good, i don't even know the person that msg me, but i figured since i come on here and people have helped me wether directly or indirectly i wanted to help someone out too... but w/e the app was free by the way but .... your the MOD
I'm pretty sure its okay if I write this...
Do this in terminal:
cp /data/app/* /sdcard/App
take all your apps from your phone + put it onto your sd. Find the widget and since its free give it to the guy/girl. Mikey don't kill me.

Oddly enough, after I install this its not showing up in the "Widgets" list? Anyone know why? I've installed it like any other .apk file i've installed before.
Update:Figured it out, the app is called "News And Weather". Sweet application!
Genie Widget - Are sources available somewhere?
Is this kind of backport a "binary hack" or are sources available somewhere?
If yes, were can I find them?
Thanks

Same here, I don't see it either after installation.
I found it under News and Weather in my Android Widgets section. The news and weather icon is fine, but the weather only app displays with font too large to display all the information.

I'm new here and have sort of a dumb question. How do you get this onto your Eris? I mean since you can't install from sd card without root right?
edit: Nevermind. I had a hunch that if I downloaded it onto my phone, Astro would pick it up.
I uninstalled it. Reason being because whenever I would wake the phone up I would have a major lag in Sense. I found out that the Genie Widget would almost try to play catch up with the way it slides through all of the news it has on the widget. I put up with it for a couple of days but then I just got tired of always having to wait for it to catch up with itself. Cool app though
I haven't had any lag or problems with it. Although I disabled most of the news and mainly use it for the weather. htc's weather widget wouldn't update right for me

If you have the Android SDK you can use adb to install it. It's not too user friendly though, you have to know what the directory is and stuff.
It's faster once you get the hang of it.
Here is a clear version if anyone's interested.
Alright. Let me lead off by saying I searched google and this forum and I couldn't find the answer to my problem. I have found the "answer" to my problem that has worked for other people but not for me. So let me explain my problem and the solutions I tried. Any help would be appreciated.
I bought Beautiful Widgets from the market place. When i go to download it, it says "download unsuccessful". Let me make clear that i'm not rooted (or ever want to be) and I'm running 2.1-update1.
Solutions that I've tried..
1. settings > apps > manage apps > I cleared data in the "Download Manager" and cleared cache in the "Market" section.
Basically i took this advice, http://androidforums.com/samsung-moment/38687-problem-beautiful-widgets.html, it worked for that dude, Didn't work for me.
2. I've restarted the phone a few times and that didn't work.
3. I refunded my money, and bought the app again, didn't work that time either.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
Edit: I gave this a new title because paid apps do download, just not beautiful widgets.
Can you install any app at all or does this affect all apps?

this only happens to paid apps. After all of this happened, I successfully downloaded beautiful silent widgets (or w/e) in the market and it was free.

I tried both.. also i set up a google voice account (like that one post suggested) .. i signed in and out of it and back in.. and still that app didn't download.
extremely frusterating
update: ok i bought doodle jump lol.. and that worked.. so i guess it must be something wrong with beautiful widgets?

Do they take apps down when they update them? Just curious, after you answer that i'll give an update after I find out what the problem is.
A dude on #android on Efnet IRC has the same problem.
He tried to buy it, said it went successful, then it was authorizing purchase for a long time.
Then got stuck, then Google issued him a refund because of some server error.
Now, when he goes to his downloads, it says Beautiful Widgets still says "purchased".
The BW author is on twitter all the time. I talk to him time to time. I think it was yesterday he mentioned that there are problems with his server and discussing with the powers that be to get a new one. If you have a twitter account, you may try him there if you havent sent him an email already.
hum - having exactly the same problem.. says purchased, click install, says download unsuccessful.. Followed the cache clear and made no difference..

Sorry I don't have an answer for you, but Beautiful Widgets caused problems for me anyway. Constant freezes and crashes. Overall slowdown of everything. I'm back to normal after uninstalling.

So today I used Google Maps to search for a location. I did not appreciate the ads at the bottom of the search results.
Is there a way to disable the ads? Shall I just reinstall Sprint Navigation(telenav is good) and use that instead?
Thank you thank you
edit: should have noted that i do use the turn by turn nav. so an online, gps enabled option is what id like. ill check out the option you noted, t12icky0
i had the same issue..i just didnt like Google maps. went through many different programs but eventaully ended up getting an APP called " IGO"...its an offline as well as online map directions service. you would just need to download the maps for you state(or any state).
ITS GREAT because you dont need an internet connection as it can run the maps and such offline unless you wanna use GPS(or anything else).
Where do you download iGo I don't see it in the market??

Requirements:

Any file manager that has root permissions ( like root explorer or es file explorer )
Instructions:
1 - With root explorer go to folder /data/data/ on your phone and find a folder named "com.whatsapp"
2 - Copy that folder to your sdcard. If you don't have a sdcard, copy it to your computer with usb cable
3- install whatsapp.apk on your tablet .Do not open it for now
4 - copy the previously prepared com.whatsapp folder to /data/data/ on your tablet with root explorer
5 - open whatsapp
6 - you now have a fully working whatsapp on your xoom Tablet
Im on my way Home to try it meamwhile if some testers could test if it works that will be nice

Hi all could someone post their backup file? This would be incredibly useful to people like me without access to an android mobile.
There must be a way to manually edit the phone number within the backup.
Your help is appreciated..

You need some form of hex editor and to know what you're doing. Realistically you're not going to get whatsapp on your xoom without having it on a rooted android phone.

oh yes ! and im the friend he got the system folder from, its all about changing ur number and all ur contacts are going to be visible, its just i had to again configure my watsapp on my Xperia device so i can push my own phone number and log in ! very simple, and btw sometimes seniors need to test out the stuff and then post comments and then lol on them ! which is in this case very rude !
for rest of the members ! this stuff is working and all secured, tested ! :good:

Yes ! but make sure u do it 1st on the tablet which is the child in this case so a parent (Phone Device) will activate it later so there going to be no conflicts of contacts on both devices ! (its fortunate if ur holding a phone and a tablet together) if not then a close friend is required :silly:

ok i have the app on my 4G xoom atm. HOWEVER, i only have wifi where i'm located and I installed just fine. Here's how I did it.
1) I sideloaded the app on my xoom (dons't have to be rooted to do that).
2) ran the program and inputed my google voice number (theoretically you could use any phone number that has texting capabilites)
3) Let the app time out on 'verifiying' if you got the text.
4) Type in the code you got texted to that number.
5) Enjoy.
