TV.com and E! Online are both favorites of my wife. However after flashing the Eris with the leaked 2.1 build, neither are visible in market. Both are free software.
I tried to rip them off of my MotoDroid, but Astro deems them to be off-limits to backing up because they are stored in a "private" location.
Anyone familiar with how to get around this, and or courld kindly provide links to the apks if they are able to get them? Again, this software is free and was available while she was running 1.5 so, I don't think there are any legal or ethical lines crossed here.
Much obliged!
this may want to be put somewhere like?... general? themes and apps?
definitely not related to development of any kind.
I would put it under the apps section. But again as the popular statement goes use Google for TV.com.apk. Basically use search. Or Androlib.com will more than likely have it.
Does anyone know why some 2.0/2.1 apps will not show up in the market for an Eris running 2.1? I thought the only limitation to seeing apps in the market was meeting the minimum SDK version.
Hoping someone can fill me in.
Thanks in advance.

Google has to admit Eris 2.1 users to the market for protected apps. Until release, we won't have that admission.
I'd like to reiterate the above question about getting the .apk for tv.com. I know it's been answered why we cannot obtain it, but I noticed the last post was over a month ago and was wondering if there has been any possibilities since the last post.
Thanks!

Thank you t2noob you are awesome!!!!
Hello, XDA peeps....
I want to create an app but have no idea how to do so. Could someone help me create one or maybe even they can create one and I'll pay.
Sort of a Database Application that I want created with pictures and stuff.
Could someone help me .... Please?

Especially the tutorial-section. Take this, some coffee and some time (and then moar coffee =) ) and you get the knowledge for little money (depending on how much your time is worth and, of course, the coffee price =) )
Also you might find some videos @ youtube about this topic.
Hf =)
Thanks for that information.....looks good but by the time I try to figure out how to make the app I want, Android would a grandfather and have many little droids running around.
I need help....or more to the point I need a Developer....a Super Developer...or even his sidekick will do.
What is the app you're trying to make? Could you be more specific?

I would like to be more specific but can't really. Most I could say is more of a database app. Do you know how to create an app?
WOW....i was really hoping to find some developers....but a ghost town is more alive....
I don't think anyone is going to get excited about writing you a database app, whatever you might mean by that.. android uses sqlite databases so its kind of already there. It seems that your options are to spill some details and get us interested, or do it yourself.

Thanks.....found someone.
with the current buzz of DrawSomething, I thought I would check it out but it doesn't seem to fit within the screen resolution of the galaxy mini.
does anyone know if it is possible to resize/change something in the APK file to get it to fit?
thanks in advance
as far as I know you can't, because it's not compatible with our "legacy"devices
as for editing the apk to fit your need you must get a permission from the developer to do that; or you will be kicked in the a**(just kidding)
It is possible if you get it from other sources, its difficult because of the size issue - but still fun!
As for resizing it, I've thought about it, maybe try it today

Right, I have a few complications here.... I decompiled it and there is a lack of files! I don't know if I can reaize it as there appears to be no images/xml's to resize!

When you say you decompiled it, do you mean you unzipped the APK file? Or are there more steps to it?

Not if it's floss you don't, you don't need to ask permission even if they say so as long as it's under a correct license and you can't mix licences even under V2 of the GNU public license.
You might wonder how MIUI can be proprietary, well they can't and are not any more.
You can take anything and change it in any way without asking permission as long as you redistribute it under the same version of GNU licence.
AND YOU CAN DO SO IN ANY WAY YOU PLEASE.
When someone says that you can't, it just means they don't have a clue about the licence, the code or the intentions of the floss community, give them the finger and be done with them.

Thanks for telling me about apktool.
I decompiled it and looked around the directory structure and opened some ascii text files... nothing more really.
There seemed to be a load of some kind of Assembly Language files
Maybe it's hidden somewhere? I may have a look at it again tomorrow...

Hello everyone,
I would like to know if there is any method to protect an app from stealing, as in downloading it and saying it is your's.
I've thought of writing a signature, like the name of the author, in the manifest of an app, but, that can easily be edited. Is there any way to make the text un-editable or read-only?
As I have noticed, one of our greatest devs, nAa, has done that with his ROM, MiniCM7. One can edit the ROM's name in the build.prop but nAa has found a way to add a string, "Based on MiniCM", after the edited ROM's name.
So that's what I'm trying to do. Something that makes the text un-editable so that none can put their own name or say it's their's.
Thanks in advance.
You could hardcode your name (or some special lettering [e.g; Cs4gf95X8] ) randomly in the apps code and if you suspect your app has been copied them simply find your special lettering
Or add some files in the META-INF of the APK.
Cool thoughts but I'm searching for more "professional" ways.

Quinny899 might be able to help you on this one.
Shoot him a PM or check the X8 Off Topic.
By professional what do you mean?
Do you want a visual approach as to where the user can see the developer?
:cyclops:
I guess a good dev wouldn't just randomly write his encoded name into the code to prove that the app is his creation, would he? That's what I'm trying to say with "professional"...kinda...
I'll wait for more replies and, yeah, maybe I'll ask for help by a dev or something.

I think the safest method would be to implement a "phone home" to implement a validity check - of course by using a C++ binary through JNI (way harder to crack down on than on a reverse engineered APK / SMALI code)
You can either use something like a encrypted string check, or some kind of serial number verification. You could even spice it up with a self-check (pull a sha1sum of the APK and compare it past the expected value to see if it has been tampered with - the change of a single "character" already changes the sha1sum).
Everything you could possibly implement "offline" might be easy to patch out - but then even online-checks aren't really uncrackable (hint: Titanium; very sophisticated copy-protection but keeps on getting cracked). You can only try to make it as annoying as possible to crack it.
encrypt data!
hahaha
paste your xda profil link in there
That can easily be edited with apktool.
I'll try to do what B.Jay said. I didn't understand half the things he said so I will do some searching first.

Hello guys i'm new here I really want to find the answer and I REALLY hope to find it here
Now look I want to know how do you patch a game or an application downloaded from the store.
If you still don't understand what I want, I want to know how to download a paid game or free game from the store and unlock it or patch it
so what do you do to patch a game or an app from the store.

Short version:
No.
Long version:
This forum doesn't tolerate piracy and if I understood correctly and you'd like to know how to download any app from the store, and patch the XAP file to make it install-able (AKA without paying anything or going through the WP Store app), then you won't find the answers you seek here.
Don't mistake a hacking forum for a piracy forum, the latter is illegal and banned here.
Well My friend im sorry atleast u knew what I want but what if I learn how to patch a FREE app or game is this still piracy or illegal??

Yes it is STILL piracy or illegal because these FREE app`s or games from the Store contain add`s from which we developers earn for our effort so please my friend follow the rules and then ask questions.No offence but i think you got the point.
:good:

Why would you want to patch a Free app or game? That doesn't make sense.
What you said is almost similar to 'stealing' free stuff.
Even if you want to explore the source code, it is property of the developer and if they wanted to, they would've released the source code.

I see what you did there...
I don't think you will find what you are looking for on xda. Warez, aka software piracy, is not allowed here, and xda is pretty strict about it. Even asking how to do it is against xda rules.
Rule 6 is very clear: 6. Do not post warez.
If a piece of software requires you to pay to use it, then pay for it. We do not accept warez and nor do we permit any member to request, promote or describe ways in which warez, cracks, serial codes or other means of avoiding payment, can be obtained. This is a site of developers, i.e. the sort of people who create such software. When you cheat a software developer, you cheat us as a community.
