Forcering app?

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.

Just have your roommate connect his G1 to a computer and adb pull it out of /data/app/

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.

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.

long press ur screen
under ur "widgets" category select news and weather

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.

Market Fix for Leaked Froyo

Install it via rom manager or clockwork. Backup prior to doing so.
If things do not show up immediatly, try installing some random app and see if it populates then.
Otherwise, it will happen the next time the market data sync with the phone.
http://www.4shared.com/file/yHlfPvuv/fingerprint_froyo.html

are there any reasons not to do this? will this lead to bad dependencies? incorrectly installed applications?
What problems can this cause? Is this fixable?

A. This isn't Redhat, circa 1997. Android doesn't work that way.
B. Either they install, or they don't.
C. Problems it can cause? It can prevent Incredible only and/or Verizon only applications from showing up. I don't forsee that being an issue, ever so...
This is a simple build.prop change so that the market will show all paid apps.
Before:
ro.build.fingerprint=verizon_wwe/inc/inc/inc:2.2/FRF91/212490:user/release-keys
(Market: wtf is this?)
After:
ro.build.fingerprint=google/passion/passion/mahimahi:2.2/FRF91/43546:user/release-keys
(Market: Oh hai, Nexus One!)

Thanks
This worked for me and I got the Documents to Go paid version which was the only thing that I was needing. I had some problems with it kicking me off the network and having to use wifi to connect. After a reboot I was back on the network though so I don't know if that had anything to do with adding this.
Out of curiosity is there a way that I can go back to what it was so that when the market gets fixed it would work like it is suppose to? I saw in the build.prop file what you changed and thought I could just change that back but I wanted to ask before I did.
Thanks so much for this.

This will break custom boot animations?

Thanks for this, one of my paid apps wasn't showing up, this did the trick!

Ok the reason I asked was because someone in ##incredibleroot said it would cause problems

Did they specify what?
Random text about causing problems from someone in IRC without a reason of what or why is pretty worthless.

Here is a new version that includes the streaming audio fixes.
http://www.4shared.com/file/RjEL6jSz/market_streaming_fix_froyo.html

To have the market checkin right away do the following so you don't have to wait or download any other BS apps.
1. Open the Phone app
2. Dial *#*#CHECKIN#*#* (2432546) ** When you type the last "*" what you typed will disappear.
3. Wait for the message on the notification bar to say "checkin succeeded."
4. All paid apps that were missing should be available.
Thanks.

I guess I'm the only one that has great streaming audio quality. I use Pandora and even before changing the audio quality setting to "High" it didn't sound bad. I wonder what that is that makes it hit or miss on these devices.
Anyways, I just wanted to point out that the AAC fix really slows the phone down a bit. It changed my quadrant scores from 1200's down to 790-800.
Just a FYI.
P.S. Thanks for the Market fix!

i have the htc music widget on my homescreen. after installing the update with the streaming audio fixes whenever i reboot my phone my music starts playing automatically. now when i remove the widget and reboot the music doesn't play.

[Q] Google Maps alternative, I despise advertisements...

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??

[Q] how to remove SMS limit per hour on Lollipop?

Hello,
I send a lot of text messages to nearly 200 contacts on a semi regular basis. I have an excellent app that does it well. The only issue is I constantly get permission messages saying I'm sending too many and if I wanna authorize more, its very annoying and if I don't accept it as soon as it comes up, will usually delay my messages.
So my question is, how do I remove/change that SMS limit on Android 5.0? IRS definitely baked into the OS cause as I said, any SMS app gets the same issue.
All help and thoughts appreciated!
- Master Ramy
PS: I tried a couple SMS limit apps on the Play Store, nothing updated for lollipop yet.

Bump, anyone able to help me? Any devs want to weigh in?

Sure, but I also understand its an adjustment somewhere in a system database file to change the limit, I found instructions for a Galaxy S3 phone, but its not in the same place. I was hoping one of the devs of said Roms could point me to the right file so I can adjust it manually on stock.

Anyone else?

I think this app works : https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mittelmanapps.smslimitunlock
Just intalled it and proceded to a full unlock. Requires root.
Device said the operation is a complete success and needed a reboot to apply all modifications which I just did.
If I don't have the limit, I will come back to confirm this app works.
Hope it works !!!

My phone is rooted and I'm on Dirty Unicorns 5.02. I'm not sure what system you're on but I've sent out 150 messages without an issue using Group SMS Pro. It will ask me to Wait or Kill the app while sending bulk sms, but I hit Wait and everything goes through. Also, I don't send much more than 200 messages at a time because even on KitKat that seemed to be an issue.

So? Did it work?

So? Did it work? I think not, but your promised update would be appreciated.

I to would like to figure out how to work around this limit. I am on Benzo rom 5.1 and under settings/security you can select 30, 50, 100 or 200 but it's a dead setting apparently because I can select 50, 100 or 200 and I still have to approve any text over 30. Did you figure out how to fix it? I tried the linked google play apps to get around but no luck so far

Flash a custom rom - like what was posted in post #2.
Other than that, you're probably out of luck, OP. Just do what anyone else here would do if they *just have to have that ability* - flash the rom.

Thanks for the reply but I will NOT flash LS because everytime I have tried it it borks my phone and I've been dumb enough to try it "one more time" too many times and paid the price. I know it's probably something I'm doing and not the roms fault but done with that one..........:cyclops:
I went back and looked at the app posted above called SMS Limit Unlock and played around a bit more. I changed the Restriction cycle time and Restriction message amount settings a few times when I was in there before but never clicked on 'Unlock'. I did that this time and it went thru a progression and then said I needed to reboot for settings to take hold. I sorta forgot that step before thinking the Unlock was to convert to the paid version of the app. I rebooted just in time to give it a try and it worked exactly as it should so I got it to work correctly.
Figured I'd post this in the thread so in case someone else does a google search on SMS limit problems and they get directed to this thread as I did, hopefully this will work for them as well. I am on Benzo 5.1 and it worked...... Yippeeeee

1. Root Phone
2. Download/Install a Different SMS(texting) app from the Google Store
I chose to use the 'Go SMS PRO app
3. Download a Root Uninstaller
I used 'Root Uninstaller Free'
4. Uninstall the stock SMS app, it's called 'Text Messaging' I believe. Can't quite remember
5. Profit!!! Just remember to check the setting in your new SMS app for any limit. In Go SMS PRO you can turn off any limit or have it save upto 100+ texts and then start deleting old ones.
I'm not really sure if uninstalling the stock app can actually cause problems, but a few people told me it Could.
It obviously worked fine on Android 5.0 :laugh:
