convert android app to the G1?

what steps do you need to take to change a android app to the G1?

What exactly do you mean? Android is the OS and the G1 is the hardware.

did he mean "install" instead of "convert"?

i have a app that a German company made for the android os , early in the year before the G1 came out and i cant just install it like an app i have to change something, I'd like to know what that is?

The app was probably made using an outdated and unsupported version of the Android SDK. Unfortunately, the only thing you can do is wait until the developers update it (unless you have the source and are willing to manually review it)

i could post the APK

The thing is, the source code can't be extracted from an .apk file. It's like taking an .exe on windows and then trying to edit the source code of the program itself. So unless the developer updates the program or provides the source, you're SOL.
Sorry.

have you enabled the G1 to install applications that are not from the market?
Settings> applications > unknown sources?
of course, this will allow you to install it, but if it's out of date and the programming needs updating, you're still SOL.

Where can I get Google Maps and HTC PDF Viewer?

Hi
I flashed SenseHero 2.2 ROM which is a pretty good Android 2.1 flash. Unfortunately, it comes without Google Maps and native HTC PDF viewer. Where can I get this apps from? I could not get any answer on SenseHero forums.
Thanks.

You can download Maps from the market.
Also running SenseHero

Taken from another ROM,...

Thanks for the apk but I get "Application not installed" error even though I enabled unknown sources in application settings.
It's strange I can find Google Maps on Androlib site but it does not appear in Market search. Does Google restrict application based on client country?

Yes some countries do not get all apps. But there is something called Market Enabler,... Have a look for that.
And try these again for PDFViewer,... Put both in the same folder and then try to install again.
Let me know how it goes.

The new files give me the same error. I also tried to install Market enabler and its apk cannot be installed either. Seems like the project is outdated, the authors say they don't support the latest Market version.

I followed these instruction: http://strazzere.com/blog/?tag=pdfviewerapk which say additional libraries should be installed. After I put the libraries in the right place the application installed OK but it won't start. So I guess I will be needing the correct PDFViewer version (for Android 2.1). If anyone has it, please...

This is the ripped apk from the droid x
I got a dev over in their forum to get it for me but it's unable to install on our aria's
hoping to get it working for us cause that would be awesome
any ideas?

ERROR: Application requires API version 8. Device API version is 7 (Android 2.1-update1) looks like you will have to test drive the new froyo for aria if you want to test this unless there is a way to update api on the android, and i doubt it.

Ya i was just about to post that i went ahead and tried on a 2.2 VM and it gave same error.
maybe someone with a droid X can run the manifest viewer from here https://www.isecpartners.com/mobile_application_tools.html
and see what all its checking for.

Moved to Themes and Apps, as this is not Development related.

This app is now available in the Android Market.

Is it? I just searched for Blockbuster, didn't find it.

It was published to the Android Market by Blockbuster on accident, apparently it has to be optimized for each device so they pulled it. I installed it but I haven't tried it at all.

[Request Apk] Can someone share the latest Yahoo Messenger Plugin ver. 1.4?

I have done the Market fix several times already and have fixed most of the missing app problems, except the voice and video plugin for yahoo IM. I always get the "requested item could not be found" message when i try to update the app. I cannot run the IM apk without the plugin. Can someone please send me or upload the 1.4 version? Thanks
Also if you must ask i have used other IM apps that allow you to chat etc but have not found one other than the official app that allows you to do voice and video plus send and receive files. Ps. I also used the search bar with no success.

I am having the same problem. It will be great if someone could post the apk file.
Thanks.

Read this and try it, it might for you also.

Remember to do the regular fix after making the changes.

I tried the steps in the thread you pointed out. But that doesn't fix the problem. I posted a reply in that thread and I will quote it here also

I tried the fix and it didn't work for me. This is what I did
1. Mounted /system are rw
2. Modified the lines ro.build.fingerprint and ro.product.device
3. Remounted /system are ro
4. Started Android Market and browsed around a bit
5. Chose Settings->Applications->Running Services
6. Under the Running tab I can see 'Market' and 'Google Services' but not 'Google Services Framework'. . I can see it under 'All' tab.
7. I followed rest of the steps instructed in the youtube video rcgabriel pointed out in the initial post.
What should I run to see 'Google Services Framework' under the 'Running' tab? Could that be the reason for the fix not working for me?
Thanks.

I tried both Vegan Gingerbread and GHarmony Gingerbread roms. Is there any rom which I should give a try, where this is known to work?
Thanks.

If you have an android phone download YM with that and then use Bluetooth file transfer also in the market for free on both your gtab and android phone then use that app to send the app from your phone to the gtab..
I would upload the app for you but I don't have my tablet with me to bounce the app from phone to tab to here.

That worked like a charm. Thanks a lot for the suggestion.
I have attached the yahoo_messenger and plugin apk if someone wanted them.

Glad I could help!

Thanks to you both! Downloaded and it works great!

stock rom
will the posted apk's work on the stock rom? I have version 1.3.2 (both the ym and the video plugin), but the video icon shows up disabled. Is this a newer version? Thanks!

Yes, it is a newer version (1.4).

[Q] MLB At Bat 12 not compatible ?

Howdi all,
I'm running ICS 4.2 on my samsung S device and somehow I can not download the new MLB At Bat 12 from the market. It says the device is not compatible.
Is there some way around it ?
Thanks

I have had also problems with some apps in ics, market shows phone isn't combatible. You can download app's apk from the internet and install it.

thanks.
Any idea how can I find the APK of this program ?

here I found one lite version:
http://freeapk.com/app/22830_android+app+MLB.com+At+Bat+Lite_1.6.1.html
hope I helped

Thanks, but its for the old version (11), version 12 was released yesterday

aa okay
but try installing it, and when its done, go to market->my apps->select the app, and if it goes to the app page, you can update it from there
hope that works
