help finding and installing sprint apps - Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi Guys
OK I know I am going to get a lot of complaints about not using the forum search but let me say that I did and I didn't find a post that consolidates all the sprint apps into one posting plus I am also looking for help on how to install them.
I have an HTC Hero and the rom I am running has all the sprint apps removed. I would like to have some of them on my phone (sprint nav, sprint nfl, sprint tv in particular) Does anyone know where I can get those apps and others.
Also how do I install them? I pulled the youtube app before removing it but copying the app over to the sd card and clicking on it from a file browser to install it yielded a "could not install" error message.

A couple apps I have not sure if they work with all roms out there. I got these from threads on this forum none of these are mine. Please give credit where its due.

no to be harsh, but your approaching this the wrong way. You are demanding something, when what you want is already available. With a quick search, you would find out that you probably need to root your phone, then run the market enabler which will give you access to the android market. Then you will have access to various 3rd party youtube clients and map applications.
How to get appsinstaller?
thanks for the info. I have the same problem. To root this phone I need to install appsintaller for installing apk from my SD card. But I cannot find appsinstaller anywhere except from Android Market.
Indian Magic's are locked
Hey,
I was in the same position a couple of weeks back - in fact, the phone dealer advised me not to buy the Magic. Boy, was he wrong.
Unfortunately, there is no short easy way to get all applications as HTC sells a locked version of the Magic in India. You'll have to install a new version of your phone's software. I must add that, IT IS DANGEROUS and if you dont follow directions, are not comfortable with making a lot of changes, then don't. You could end up losing a phone. On the other hand, it works (I have proof) and its worth it as you get tons of applications!
The procedure I followed: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=548379 (please be careful in following everything). You'll need to reformat your memory card into a gold card - but everything is there in the tutorial.
For the final ROM you use, I would suggest: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=552274 In my opinion its much better than the Dream ROM.
The Sapphire Wiki (http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Sapphire_Hacking) has details on what all the terms mean, and how you can update your ROMs.
Let me know when you manage to complete the update!

Can't find some apps in the Market

I've read about some interesting apps, but I can't find them in the Android Market for some reason. A few people claim that these applications are available in the Market, but they just don't show up for me.
Some examples:
- ShareYourBoard
- BioWallet
- Pandora
- iSkoot
- beebPlayer
- Bluex
- Ecorio
- cab4me
- DoggCatcher
I've even tried to scan some QR codes in AndroLib.com, but I get an error saying that "There are no matches in Android Market for the search."
Does anyone know why that happens? I should mention that I live in Brazil (not sure this makes a difference) and that I use MoDaCo Custom ROM 2.9. Besides, the option "Unknown sources" is checked in my phone.
Thanks for the help,
Tiago
are the apps officially available in your country? did you try market enabler?
Some apps are not supported in all countries.
Example: BeebPlayer (stream bbc shows) is only available in the UK.
I Downloaded Beebplayer from an apps pack, it told me it was only available for people inside the UK.
Also if you search for some apps, like Beebplayer the marketplace app shows something like "1 result found" but shows nothing except for the usual "did you type the name correctly blabla."
Hope this helps,, I experienced the same thing, it gets really annoying but nothing you can do. maybe work with a proxy or something but since I'm not a developer I can't help you with that.

Have you applied the MR update? This update has caused some apps to not show up in the market.
I used Market Enabler and it worked only 1 time. When I rebooted my phone then I had to reapply the "patch" from Market Enablen and when I got to the market nothing worked like it should.
I mean that Market Enabler didn't worked the second time I tried to fake my market.
Yeah, us Sprint folks are totally ****ed. THe new update, as awesome as it is, makes it so we can't see stuff like twidroid pro.

you are not alone
kendong2,
Market Enabler helped a lot! Using the setting for T-Mobile, I was able to find the following apps: Pandora, iSkoot, Bluex, cab4me and DoggCatcher. Pandora doesn't work in Brazil, but that's a different problem. Restarting the phone restores the old settings, but I can always use Market Enabler again.
However, I still can't find ShareYourBoard, BioWallet, beebPlayer, Ecorio and AndNav2. According to DaanJordaan, beebPlayer will not work in Brazil, but I'd still like to install the other apps. Has anyone managed to install these apps? Any tips?
I'm not sure I have the MR update. As I said, I installed MoDaCo Custom ROM 2.9 and didn't apply any other updates after that.
Thanks a lot,
Tiago

Has anyone found a solution to this yet?
The market is impressive but I would ( I know I'm not alone here ) love to have access the whole market.
I have a rooted sprint hero, stock ROM with the update.
Same issue here too.
Any of the big name stuff like shopsavvey, compare everywhere, facebook amazon and the rest is not showing.
Hello i have the same problem with modaco 3.0. "MR" update is that short for modaco ROM ? And people using market enabler should remember to clear market cache under settings - applications - market

[Q] Some Market Apps not compatible

Well most actually... Is this because I'm on a tablet or what ?
Should I resort to other means of acquiring apks ?
What message do you get?
I thought the same thing as you for the longest time, until I realized my "SD card" was corrupted.
my problem is right on the market itself. the device is grayed out with "incompatible with device"
Same here. Right now i wish i could get quickbooks mobile but i get that error message.
Some apk's for free apps can be downloaded elsewhere but what abt paid apps. Is there any solution or workaround for this?
some users post that they're using dice player, mobo player etc that i can't install since the market states that it's not compatible with my device. are they getting these apks from somewhere else ?
ATT's new upgrade policy says you have to wait 20 months for an upgrade....20 months for everyone now...

[Q] SIDELOADING APKs QUESTION

Gee, I cannot wait until all the senior members rip me a new one and say "if you'da just searched _____ you'd find it" or something similar I'm not THAT dumb, I DO perform some research to the best of my ability, but not all the time do I find exactly what I'm looking for, so please, just save it for a rainy day people...
THE QUESTION THOUGH:
Through XDAs homepage I noticed there's many posts for APKs being released for apps (mainly through APK Mirror)
What I am trying to find out is:
1) Since most of the APKs I am interested in are just more current/updated versions of their Play Store counterparts (ie - Facebook that I have currently is version 33.xxx.xxx downloaded from Play Store yet version 35.xxxx is available through APK Mirror) do I have to manually keep sideloading APKs in order to update these apps or will they self-update somehow?
2) Spotify is another example I have in question - if I uninstall it from my phone (nexus 6) then download and install the APK from APK MIrror does Play Store register that I have it installed on my phone and list it under "My Apps" and update it when the Play Store version that's available surpasses my sideloaded APK version?
I appreciate all your assistance.

first off, questions go into the q&a/help section, not into the general section.
if you install an app not from the play store, then you have to keep updating it that way. only if you install through tbe play store will the play store see your app, and let you update it.

You could just say "I've searched and couldn't find an answer" rather than being confrontational.

If the app fingerprint matches, it will show in play. It probably won't let you update it though. For example I bought office suite pro from Amazon. It shows me that its installed in play but I can only update via amazonm
thank you.

I suppose beginning my question as I did was indeed confrontational, however, I felt as if I needed to because there's ALWAYS someone there to make people feel like garbage for asking questions and since I'm new I felt as if I needed to defend myself beforehand.

And unfortunately they are right most of the time though putting people down isn`t intended i`am sure, thats how you experience it. You turn to people with a question who read up and aquire some skills during time and you defend yourself by saying i`am new here and did almost no research to find the answer to my question. You cannot tell me that on the WWW there isn`t an answer too your question

Here's a question along those lines - You update say GP Maps thru apkmirror. That's the same sig as in the store, my question is if one "pre-loads" it from the APK by sideloading, and it shares the same signature, why later on would I receive another "update" within GPS for it for the version I already installed by APK?
That would lead me to believe the sig's are not exact.

Error - 505

I know the FAQ says I have to post this to the ROM's thread but I don't have sufficent permission for that.
So this is related to this ROM: http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-sp/development/xperiasp-locked-bootloader-lbl-t2947194
I have installed it and set it up, and after I tried to install google play games. It says "error -505". I googled this, found out that this is some kind of permission error, I wanted to try solutions but almost all suggested removing the conflicting app (which is the google play services app and if I remove that I can't install google play games.. nice loop).
I have no idea how to fix this, but one of my friends said something about "libril" (he is unreachable at the moment). I searched for that as well in the aformentioned thread, but no luck.
I know this question really doesn't belong here. But if anybody could even just point me in the right direction, that would be most helpful
