Finsky.apk - Xoom Themes and Apps

What exactly is finsky.apk?
I see it all the time in logcats but have no idea what it does and whether its safe to remove...

I believe its the Android Market on Honeycomb

Interesting... i assume vending.apk is still the market.
Perhaps its MyApps?

I think its the my apps market...either way you need both.

Finsky was the code name for the beta Honeycomb market. The market was called finsky on my device until about 3 weeks before launch with beta honeycomb.

interesting, then what is vending?
also, what device did you have to run the beta?

Top Jar Apps

Can we get this stickied once more people post. Have one thread with all the top or apps people think others should download from www.GetJar.com or another place. Since the new Haykuro's Hero can download them.
Well I'm running the youtube jar on JACxROM and it works great, high quality works as well. I did install the jbed apk from the hero rom and it installs but it doesn't load just force closes. For people wondering if they need hero rom the answer is probably yes for most of them but this one works without it.
i second that this get stickied. i'm about to download the market eBuddy to compare to the java version.
to quote opasha indirectly, he said in the new haykuro hero thread that if there is an android market version of a java app, then get the market version. it is better. for eBuddy, performance was nearly identical. but the market version had infinitely better notifications.

I thought that it was meant that if there is a version of the java game that you're trying to run in the market to download that, not that actual java app itself
sorry for being a noob guys! why jar apps over regular apps? any reason?

That is true, but they do not always work and the controls are crappy... I am not sure if its worth the time when you have much better apps on the market + along with the emulators for gaming.
I agree just this way we can just have one thread instead of the 5 billion you may have saying OMG just dl'ed XXXXX.jar you gotta play/use it. This way more orginized.
I can't get any jars to actually run. I get a whitescreen every time. What phone do yall have yours set as.

I dont have it on me. Do you have an android operated phone? If so you can just download it, copy to SD, and then plug it in. Oh, and what makes it even better is that you can just throw it on a USB jump drive and plug it right in.
Ah, this tab is beautiful.

I actually found 1.6 online, played it, it made me upgrade to 1.6.1, and then 1.6.1 force closes, im running TNT3.0, anyone else able to get it to work?
Pocket Legends is dead on android tablets since the new client release. As of late last night the devs still had not posted in any threads (I haven't checked their forums this morning yet).

[Q] Android Image Editing App for G-Tablet?

One of the big things I REALLY need to be able to convert to using Android and my G-Tablet as a complete replacement on the road is an Image Editor that supports layers (filters as well would also be nice). I know there are a couple out there for the Chrome Web OS, so I would assume there has to be something at least as good for the Android? Or is there a way to run Chrome Apps under Android (or in one of the Android browsers)?
TIA!
I know that there's a Photoshop Express for Android but I'm not sure if it supports layers.
However, the Canvas App (in this thread) from the Adam port does support layers. I haven't had much time to play around with it so I'm not sure how 'robust' an app it is but you might want to check it out.
Photoshop Express for Android unfortunately doesn't have layers. Maybe in the future
Thanks for the Canvas link. Going to give that, and a web-based offering called Splashup a try tonight.

Have you tried Picsay Pro? It's a paid app but well worth it. Does layers.
I'm finding that many of these apps do "layers", but they don't do what "I" need from layers. For the sorts of things I do, I copy part of another picture, and then "Paste as New Layer". Both Canvas and PicSay support layers, but only for doing artwork in the program on the layer, which isn't a "true" layer where you could use a layer to try and add a color correction, and then an effect, and blow one or the other of those away by just dropping the layer.
Haven't been able to get to an APK for the Autodesk product. Evidently the "Market Fix" for Vegan, et al doesn't fix the entire market (I also can't seem to find Jet Car Stunts, but that's another thread).
The online editors are Flash based, but usually once you start to get into any heavy lifting they crash. I am going to take a look at Aviary since I think they have an HTML 5 based version.
FWIW...

Pointers to the thread that worked for you would be appreciated. I've tried the normal with stopping the market, clearing the cache, stopping the framework, rebooting - and while that shows more of the market, it doesn't show all of it.
Yes, I am looking for recommendations, but it's hard to say if a recommendation will actually work without trying it. I am not trying to avoid paying for anything, but I can't pay for it if the market won't let me DL it
Seriously, if someone can help me setup my market so I can see it, I will be more than happy to pay for the product.
In fact, I'm kind of surprised that more application providers don't offer an option to order and DL direct for just such circumstances. Does Autodesk really care if Google gets their cut?

OK, bought Root Explorer, and updated my Build.Prop. Took 24 hours, but the market finally recognized my Viewsonic as compatible with the Autodesk app, and I FINALLY was able to buy and install. The controls aren't the most intuitive, but it does exactly what I needed it to. Thanks!

ok guys. i sent spb an email asking if the sprint hero is supported or not to run spb shell 3D. and this is what they said.
Dear Chris,
unfortunately your device doesn't natively support OpenGS ES 2.0 and that's why it is not supported by SPB Shell 3D.
so i dont know. lol

well then, maybe it can work. If you are running aospCMod 2.3.3 (has the openGL built in) and edit the line in the build.prop that says ro.opengles.version=65537 to say =131072, it tells the phone that it has open GL 2.0. I make this edit so that I can run vector maps. If somebody wants to DL this app from the market and make that edit, it *might* work, although I doubt it would run well.
i have the app and im on aosp cm7. so im gonna do that and get back soon.
my first test is gonne be dungeon defenders. when you start the game on our hero's it says, you do not mee the minimum of 512mb of ram... your device does not support opengl 2.0
i made the edit and restarted the phone. when i open dungeon defenders i get the same thing. dont have 512mb of ram... and openGL initialization failed, your device likely does not support shader model ES2.0, a requirement for dungeon defenders...

Well, to be fair, this thread is not about that game also, to ensure you have the spoofed 2.0, grab the app "android system info" from the market and once you install it click on the system tab, then open GL, mine shows 2.0 (even though it really isn't). I tried 2 cracked versions of spb and neither worked (although it did change my wallpaper when trying to load), but maybe the market official one would work, that's what someone really needs to test.
mine says.
openGL version supported : 2.0
openGL version supported : openGL ES 1.1-CM
blah blah blah
we need ES to be 2.0

Right, where is says 2.0, it thinks you have it (my system info says the same thing btw). Go to google maps, then go to a metropolis city, put two fingers near top of the map, slide down with fingers - watch 3D tilt and 3D buildings. That's fake 2.0. I still have no idea if the market version of SPB will work, I doubt it, but maybe.... You see maps 5.0+ needs openGL 2.0 to render that 3D stuff (vector maps) and it works because we lied to it and said we had it, that's why I think it's worth a shot for SPB. To be clear, I doubt I would run it as my launcher, I was just trying to be helpful and think of ideas.
What about changing some stuff to the log of spb? I don't know much but I did take a look but couldn't find any info I thought could help.

No idea. Didn't one of you two guys put up something about a "bulletproof script" or something for this launcher, that some guy got is running on an older phone? Maybe using that tweak and the 131072 tweak would make it work?
yeah that was me. here is the thread again http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1020500 . the guy is running it on the old droid. he said it would go to a black screen and then go back to where he previously was at.... which is the same thing its doing for us. he said he used that bulletproof launcher script to keep it from closing and it loaded up after like 10 minutes. i have no clue what to do though lol

Well, first the milestone and droid both have different processors than the hero, so maybe that's why he got SPB to work (I never actually saw anything about that launcher specifically). Second, his tweak is easy, script unneeded. You can change your vm heap to 48 by editing the build.prop, which is fine because the early GB builds were set that way. You then could add the line "ro.HOME_APP_ADJ=0" to the bottom of the build.prop, add a BLANK line under that, then disable the CM lock home in memory. You could also create or add the same lines to local.prop in /data.
EDIT: I just did all that, same result. Set SPB to default launcher, screen goes black for about a minute, then it reloads adw ex with a wallpaper made of clouds, no SPB... Still the paid market version may work with these edits, someone must try (not me) and report back. I will say a prayer to the phone gods for you.

where/how are you guys getting ROMS for this and the playstation emulator?
i used to use what I believe was called Rom Finder (premium) but I believe it was removed from the market. and even upon side loading the SDK it tells me that I need the newest version to download ROMS. any suggestions for using this or a new source? I would prefer a direct app on the xoom to do this although i havent been able to find another one.
You just can search it on Google, and for the ROMS, in any web of ROMS and Emulator, just watch the end of the file "Example.N64". If there's no problem for some mods or something i can upalod the apk.
See ya!

You are right no BIOS needed. I have Honeycomb 3.1 with the latest Tiamat Xoom 1.4.2 and it runs great. I had purchased this app before it was in the market. I had to reinstall N64oid when I updated to 3.1 since all my applications were cleared.
Since you purchased this legitly on the android market you shouldn't have to worry. Remove the Titanium Backup version. Go to the Android Market and your purchased apps and install from there. Even though its removed from market since you purchased it you should still have access to download it like I do. Hopefully it will start working for you then!
i'm more concerned about gensoid being taken down than n64oid coming back up. that emu definitely needed a few updates that we probably wont get.

It just automatically does. Can anyone else confirm this? Did you originally purchase on the Xoom or another device? Another way to tell is if you look at the web version of the marketplace it should be on your purchased list.

Unfortunately no. It thinks its the d pad so when you push the stick, its in all the way. Also you cant program the dpad and analog sticks differently.
