The subject says it all. I have been wondering for some time now why it is that the official Sprint branded apps (NASCAR, TV, FOOTBALL, ID PACK, etc) do not recognize us as Sprint customers when we are running custom ROMs. Does anyone know?
its all in the framework and i know sprint tv would work on my old mytouch before i got the hero.
I don't think it is a framework issue. It is not that they won't install. The apps will install fine. There is an authentication issue. For most when you launch the app you get a message stating you must be a Sprint customer in order to use this app. Another reason I don't think it is a framework issue is that this apps are installed on all Sprint phones with each android phone running a different framework. I could be wrong though.
It would be great if I could get Sprint apps to run on my phone.
I'm running CM7 on my Hero, and can run Sprint Nav, and Nascar as well as Sprint VVM, without issue.
I will say however, that I tried a program that allowed me to change the carrier ID tag on main stern to anything I wanted, and Nascar app stopped working, starting it was only for Sprint Customers!

Will a HTC magic from Rogers be able to access and download all of the apps available on tmobiles app page if its using at&t?
Not quite sure what you mean by T-Mobiles app page.
The phone will run any app that is written for the version of Android OS it is running (ie 1.5, 1.6 or 2.0). Beyond that there are two main streams of the OS (HTC and Google). Certain apps depend on the HTC framework to run. If you have a phone with just the Google framework, these apps will not run. If this is the case and you desperately wanted that app you could flash a ROM that has the HTC framework, and it would run.
You can loads apps from the Market using the Market app. You can also load apps from the net, or from your computer via USB.
An example of this is the Canadian Rogers Magic, a 32a device. It is based on an HTC ROM which meant you got a nicer HTC dialer, along with some craplets from Rogers. When I flashed it to RA-IONv1.6.2H, which is a Google based ROM I lost the ability to run the nicer dialer, however the Google ROMs seem to run faster.
Ah ok I understand, I think i just called it the wrong name. Thanks man!
I'm running eVil D's NXSense ROM on my N1 and I've noticed that some applications are missing from the Android Market.
The ones I've found so far are:
- Moviefone (com.aol.mobile.moviefone)
- FCC Mobile Broadband Test (com.ookla.fccbroadband)
- Slacker Radio (com.slacker.radio)
- Parcels (eu.zomtec.android.delivery)
Any ideas why I wouldn't be able to access these applications?
were you able to get them earlier from your region or not? The applications might not be available in your current location- if its that you can try MarketEnabler app to sort it out!
I'm not sure as I hadn't tried to installing them until after I had installed NXSense.
My phone is configured for US as far as I know.
I'll try MarketEnabler and see how it goes
Looks like that was the problem. I forgot that I'm currently using an Australian SIM so the apps weren't visible. As soon as I changed the phone to use T-Mobile US, the missing apps appeared.
Before I returned it a couple months ago I had an application on the captivate that would allow me to install apps from the Market AT&T had blocked. Now, I believe what it would do is clone a certain value on the phone and make google's market think I was a T-Mobile user trying to connect. (Or any of the other carriers I could choose from)
Does anyone use this or can recall what it is called? I seem to have forgotten and can't find it through my searching.
Or, can anyone give me a better to way to install applications. I like this method because it makes for easy updating.
Thanks!
It is called Market Access. It is not something you can get on the Android Market. I got mine in previous ROM's that would have it included. This was before they would script market access into the ROM on its own.

Thanks guys! I'm using cognition 2.1.5. Do you know if its scripted in?
I'm getting an error message even with cognition when trying to install AT&T blocked apps.

will this work with froyo
Yes, works with Froyo. However, it seems that you can't have opened the Market first before enabling Market Access- if Market had been opened, the phone needs to be rebooted and then T-Mobile has to be emulated first. Then it worked fine.
Hey folks. I'm really digging this whole Google Music thing. I spoofed my location to get an account, being that I'm from Canada, but once that was taken care of, I was able to ditch my harddrive-bound music. Problem is, I'm not able to download the app due to location issues on the market or however it's designated.
Has anybody got an idea of how I could get the app running without reflashing my Firefly 3.0?
Is there any way to spoof my phone into telling the world it's ATT or something like that without flashing it so as to be able to access American market stuff?
Ok, figured I would get this out there for AT&T users in the US. You can download the AT&T visual voice app from the market no problem. Getting things set up with AT&T may be alittle more tricky. I was coming from an iphone and everything needed to be changed in the account but because the Z is an UNLOCKED/UNKNOWN device on AT&T's end, the visual voicemail package is not available. All that was available was the standard VM. I had the AT&T rep look up my previous devices and they were able to tell the system that I have another device. Now the device needs to be a 3g/4g LTE device that offers visual VM. This allowed them to ad the visual VM and as soon as they did, the app started working and allowed the app to retrieve the info from AT&T's network and thus allowing the AT&T visual VM to work. I now have my VVM back and what's great is the AT&T VVM allows you to send the VM thru email, MMS, etc etc... good stuff... Hope this helps fellow AT&T peeps out there with the Z.
Can you post the apk that you download? I can't even download if it's not an offical AT&T phone.
Always use Google Voice app for visual voicemail then you never have to worry about dealing with AT&T again on this issue. You can check your voicemail from anywhere anytime and from any machine.

Really? I did a search on the android market for "visual voicemail" and it was the 1st choice. I was surprised because in the past, even with official AT&T phones, this would not always come up and if I tried to search the android market from the phone's browser, it would load it in the market and say "not compatable device" but this time it came right up and allowed me to install from the market. If you don't find it in there, google AT&T visual voicemail and you will find the APK. It may be an older one so I'm not sure if it will work.
