I've noticed a few apps missing in market that's 2.1 compatible but wont show up for my NC. I remember reading a forum some people knew a way to make market read your device as a galaxy tab so you can download all the apps available to it. The guys never explained it though . Can someone tell me how to do this?
If remember correctly it has to do with editing the build.prop
Im working on it but just changing the release keys in the building.prop hasn't done the trick... gonna work on it more this week.

I think having a build.prop for a galaxy tab might create different issues, though. I think the tab is 2.2, so you would run the possibility of getting apps that won't run well on 2.1 ....

Fiddling with the necessary lines in build.prop breaks the power control drivers. Same problem that you run into when trying to get Swype to work.

I installed honeycomb last night but its quite empty, no apps? I installed it mainly for the "Books" app that I saw on Xoom hands-on videos. Where do I get it from?
Many thanks

I don't know that the Books app is publicly available yet. You can however install market and get plenty of apps (although some may not work on HC yet).
Just got my Nook Honeycomb'd w/ v3.0. This is going to be very fun!! ADB'ing my way to the Market now.
I believe you will want to install v3 of bluedeeper's honeycomb image or you will be missing a ton of apps from the marketplace. Not sure if this was fixed with v2 or not. I guess it recognizes the nook as a Nexus device or something and allows you to download more apps.
hey all, i have another question about apps in honeycomb. I am using the 2GB honeybunches version that comes with market preinstalled. All the apps seem to be there as far as i can tell. but whenever i go to download an app it starts downloading and then quits without downloading the app. i keep pressing yes to install but it keeps doing the same thing. Any thoughts?

Try opening market from the market widget and if that doesn't work, clear cache and data and force close the Google services framework and the market. Also a couple of revolts and retries got it working for me.
Also, make sure you are using v2.

Did a reboot and apps are now downloading and installing from market! Thanks for the help!
I'm not talking about the market, but rather this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cGP3KKbDOKc "Books" app.
The HC on the NC right now is a "SDK Preview". It doesn't contain any of the apps that you might have seen Google demonstrate on devices like the G-Slate / XOOM Tablet. For now, you'll just have to wait until the XOOM is released, a system dump is performed and the APKs are liberated / ported from that dump. The only way it might happen any faster is a pre-release ROM leak. Even then, the release HC AOSP might be needed for one reason or another before they'll install or fully function. Renderscript for example (the new HC feature required for much what you've seen in the videos) probably won't work right away.
I was just browsing some files using Root Explorer to see what we might be able to do to get Multitouch working on the ZIO. In /system/etc/permissions directory I found a file called handheld_core_hardware.xml that when I open it up has information about permissions of the device hardware and then says this.
<!-- devices with multitouch must also include
android.hardware.touchscreen.multitouch.xml -->
<!-- devices with full multitouch must also include
android.hardware.touchscreen.multitouch.distinct.xml -->

I've also found the applications currently installed on the phone in the /system/app directory that has every app on the phone, Maybe we can inject some files from another phone that have Multitouch and Flash working?
I know I'm not the only one that is currently scanning this phone for things that we can "exploit" to make it better. If anyone else can think of what we can do to get Multitouch and Flash to work go ahead and give us your input and we'll get this going.
don think flash will work nativaly becase it requires a arm7 proc and I think the Zio is an ARm6 based proc..... you can get flash running through skyfire browser from what I understand though...
as far as multitouch??? dunno you may be onto something!
I am determined to make this phone work better than CricKet is willing to make it work. I know it's not a high end device but cmon my old pentium 3 gateway that had a 600mhz processor could run flash. There has to be a way that we can spoof the processor to install flash if it only allows the arm7 or higher.
I dont know if you have Root Explorer but I would reccomend it for browsing the files on the phone. I would say it is worth the 4.03 USD or 2.50 EUR. That and Uninstaller for Root to remove the bloatware.
Multitouch could be a hardware issue as well. I know the zio has a substandard capacitive touchscreen -- maybe it doesnt support multitouch.
BUT, I could be completely wrong as I am making a hypothetical assumption.
I downloaded flash here: http://www.4shared.com/file/k6SycB0R/Adobe_Flash_Player_101_1016168.htm
I then dropped it into my SD card and installed it just fine on the new cricket 2.2.1 update. It seems to be working just fine, though it does sometimes kick me out of browser pages, so I just switch to Opera Mobile 10.1 and it works on that one much better.
Sweet, trying to get this working now.

Got it to install just fine on mine too, but it causes my stock browser to FC all the time, even when just trying to type in a web address. I will have to try this with another browser.
Kyocera originally stated when the phone launched that it supported multi touch. This phone is going to have to suppport multi touch in some way or another. Maybe we could contact Kyocera to find out exactly what hardware is in this phone?

hmm thats odd. I'll have to try this once I get my phone working again. I was messing with some cpu files then restarted my phone. well now I'm in a loop after the Kyocera logo. The cricket logo comes up and restarts from the cricket logo again. I'm currently working on getting it working again with adb and fastboot. I may end up using fastboot to flash the boot image and then run the update, it will then take me into the recovery just like it did the other day.

Is there an alternative to root explorer that's free?

Check the market under productivity you should find the free equivalent.
I was able to install flash but... FC on all browsers except opera mini. I had to uninstall just to use the free xda apparently because it kept restarting. Flash isn't too huge of a deal for me, I think it might be why flash isn't included in the update

Anyone have any problems with Appbrain.
I noticed with appbrain it doesn't reconize that I have the 2.2 installed on my phone. Anyone else having the same problem? I also posted a few questions on here about a few things I noticed my phone doing but never got a response back. Guess they weren't important questions or something.
Also was wondering about SELECT DEVICE ADMINISTRATORS in the settings/location & security. What is it and why is it empty if i'm the admin of my own phone???
Something else I feel really sucks that they did with this phone.
Why the hell did Kyocera have this phone where when you set a wallpaper you always have to crop the dam thing and cut half your pic off just to set it??
I think its bull**** concidering the resolution of the phone there would be no need to limit the size of the wallpaper you set. I feel it sucks ass totally cause no matter what size I make my wallpapers I always have to cut half the pic off to set it as a wallpaper on the phone.
That little resize box sucks!! Now it may be an app I have installed on the phone but i'm having the same BS problem when typing txt messages with the keyboard missing letters and the latter just the same as if i still had the 1.6 crap on it.
I'm starting to hate this stinking phone to a point i'm about to take my hammer to it.

I had the same problem. Anything I opened once I installed the flash just FC on me till i uninstalled it. I just installed Opera brower and i'm re-installing the Flash now, i'll reply back with what I get after its all done.
Well I installed Opera browser, Re-installed Flash player and Rebooted my phone. Once running I when to adobe.com to test the flash and in the content window it states: To view this experience, you need JavaScript enabled and the latest adobe flash player installed
I have opera and it works with flash installed. I haven't really seen flash working since installation. Tried using opera to go to YouTube but it opened the app rather than embedding in the browser.

I give up. about to for the 5th time now completely reset my phone, format my SD card, and redue the entire phone from scratch.
With flashed installed I can't even goto appbrain app market without the never ending FC happening just as Appbrain begins to load. This sucks! I really don't want to spend half the day again reinstalling all my crap back to this phone. Its been a headache sence day 1 I had it till now. Seemed to run just fine leaving the thing alone aside trying to figure out what bloatware crap other then the 2 lousy games that comes with the phone.
By the way. The bloatware is mobile web, mybackup, uno, my account, storefront, midnight bowling, ziotop10apps, and you can remove home screen tips

I really don't remember Kyocera saying it was multitouch. I do remember some reviews of the phone saying that it was, but those are not associated with Kyocera, those are just some guys online giving their two cents on their blogs and websites.
On the actual Kyocera Zio website,for the Spring version with Froyo on it it states:
Display Specs: 3.5" 262K-color TFT LCD WVGA (480x800 pixels), capacitive touch screen navigation
Input: SWYPE - Fast and easy text input
Navigation: Track Ball navigation

It does not mention multitouch
Hi all. All of the sudden (or maybe I just noticed) hardly any apps are compatible with my device on the web market.
I had the latest apk with the +1 and yellow incompatability message so uninstalled it to try and resolve the issue as I was getting the message for most apps even ones like Skype which say in the description they are compatible!
I was on kratos when I first noticed it (full restock and flash as per guide). I have wiped cache, dalvik, fixed permissions, factory reset, re flashed, smashed my head against a wall etc etc you name it- nothing works.
I like my LCD density quite low at 175 and have heard this can cause issues but this problem seems to occur even at 240. I'm on 200 now and running an older market as I'm also now running cm7 because I was sick of this happening on overcome- it seems I'm the problem though, not the Tom, otherwise everyone would have this issue. WTF is going on?! What can I do?! On the older market a massive handful of apps don't show, and on the web market pretty much anything is incompatible.
I know this type of thing is discussed in variances across different threads but it is my hope that by starting this thread anyone else who might share my problem or get it in the future or already have solved it, will be able to come here for some answers.
Hope someone can help me!

This has just started happening for me too. I have a feeling its because I don't have a SIM card in it and I'm only using it with WIFI. I've seen similar issues with owners of the P1010 which is WIFI only. I can't be sure if that's the problem but it's driving me crazy.
Please help :|
Could also be the new version of the market? I tried uninstalling the update but it just reinstalled straight away and the 'market autoupdate' app doesn't show up in the market for me...
Hi I have also found the same just after installing LCD density and changing it to 200 I have a sim card installed so it is nothing to do with the sim. I manage to download the apk's from other sources and love the screen at the new LCD density setting so will not be uninstalling it.
I changed my density as well and have the same issue. The solution I have found is that the old version of the market works fine, so uninstall the update, then either delete or rename marketupdater.apk.
Your market should now function properly.

Where is the marketupdater.apk? I did a 'find / -name .apk | grep market' but nothing. Or do I need to uninstall the market updates first?

Hey dudes...
This solution worked for me and my viewpad7 w/ FlintFire ROM and screen rezised. The market was driving me crazy with "your device is not compatible with this application" message.
Thanks a lot!
Thanks for the input all, I'll give it a go. I know that I can reach market updater through t.backup. if it works I'm going down to 175 that's the perfect LCD density for me!!

Has everyone else lost google maps in the market on the tab? I'm not able to find it anymore unless I use a web link, and then it claims not to be compatible with the tab. When did that happen? I know I can update it myself i'm just wondering why it's no longer "compatible" for no apparent reason. I have an at&t tab rooted running an overcome build.
The market seems to be more particular in more recent versions.
I'm on 3.3.11 and can see maps. Running CM 7. I did need to tweak my build.props file as per the CM thread.
There may be something with overcome specifically. Or you have a funky DPI setting.

I have updated to the lastest version of Google Maps using market enabler, i can upload the apk if you want.
Well I have no clue what they did but gmaps is back in the market for me today. I didn't change anything so whatever . Also my build prop has been edited to show a nexus s for a long time and my dpi is the stock 240. This thread is no longer needed.

Ive installed Slim ICS on my wifes galaxy s.
She misses the mini diary app that was present on the stock rom. I have done many searches and found posts on this forum and others.
I have obtained a few MiniDiary.apk files form the internet and copied them to system/app using root explorer, and changed the permissions etc, but I have not managed to get this app to work.
Is there any way to achieve this? Have I been using the wrong apk files?
The stock rom she had was XXJVO. She would also be happy with the MiniDiary app from my S2 if it would be possible to get that to work.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
147 views and no repies?
Did I post in the wrong section?
Thanks.
It's impossible. I really liked that app too, but there's no way to get it working on a non-touchwiz rom. Even flashing one of those touchwiz framework packages didn't work. So you have two choice. Either go back to a Touchwiz rom (so non-AOSP), or find another app replacement (IMHO there's no good replacement on the market).
I like the app also. When I rooted my phone its gone. But what I am suggesting is you can get a Diary App vias Play Store. I bet they have alot there..

Thanks for your clear and concise answers. I had also tried one of those touchwiz frameworks too.
I too have trawled the play store for something similar but like you found nothing as good as the mini diary app. I'm sure I can find something that will make do.
wrong time
Hi I downloaded mini diary from the Samsung store and for today it shows a time - the 2 other entries don't. The issue is only that on the entry that does show the time it is 2 hours behind. The phone shows the correct time though.
I'm using Samsung galaxy s3 on latest official .nz firmware, I'm saying new Zealand because Im in .nz and live in .nz etc.
How can I fix this, the only setting I could see was location and weather .
have u tried this way:
