Currently using a Nexus S 4G running Pete's GPA 19 and current Pete kernel. Reading news reports on the new Cluzee app which appears to be a Siri "like" app for android.
When I try to download the app from the web based market it states that my device is not supported. Anyone running the same phone/equipment as I able to run Cluzee?
TIA - Cabotcat
Patience is a virtue...... the program is now downloading and installing.
cant find the app in market, on ICS in UK.
I accessed market.android.com on my laptop. After logging in with my google credentials I simply indicated the device on which I wanted the program installed. The web site did the rest. However be advised that I am not on ICS.

Hi All,
I was searching for an app that will show the GPS position of my phone realtime in Google earth. I found Ipoki (www.ipoki.com). It's a great app for tracking phones in google earth and google maps in realtime.
However.. The app keeps crashing on my phone on random intervalls. Anyone of you using this app and do you experience the same problems?
Does anyone know a replacement for this app (just in case i can't solve the crashes). It is important that the location can me viewed in Google Earth. I tried latitude, but the update frequency isn't very reliable.
Thanks in advance.
Isn't this the same as Latitude from google maps??
---EDIT---
sorry didn't read good.
Currently there doesn't seem to be any easy reliable way to track an Android device via Google Earth (apart from Ipoki which seems to have trouble on the Hero). Presumably you mean using Google Earth on a PC and creating a network link to a kml file?
The only apps that come close are Instamapper and Glympse, which offer live tracking via a map on a webpage.
I used to use http://www.mgmaps.com/ on Symbian devices; you can configure a auto-updated kml file which sits on a server and you can point to from GE for live tracking. This works really well, but the app doesn't work on Android yet (though apparently it DOES work with the custom ROMs since they support Java). Keep an eye on this as I think it will work well with the new ROM, and I believe the developer is working on porting it to Android.
It looks promising and i am running the customrom from modaco. However can you point me in the right direction? I downloaden the generic app from the site and put it on my sd card. However, the javabox doesn't show the file, so i can't open it.
Check the forums on mgpaps.com, there are users there successfully running it on the Hero.
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.
My NC is auto-nootered running the newer Market and I love it.
But I hate that I can't get all the normal apps via Market. Amazon and Trillian are the two I've noticed so far. Amazon is only for the US Market, so I had to download an APK for it that won't update. As for Trillian, I can't even find a an up-to-date APK.
I've tried Market Enabler, which hasn't done a damned thing. I can see both Amazon and Trillian with AppBrain, but when I click Market it just says that the target couldn't be found.
How can I/we get access to these apps, installed via a real Market so they can update? I'm fine paying USD$4.99 for Trillian.
Thanks all.

You have to install AppBrain and Fast Web Installer from the market on your Nook. Run Fast Web Installer once and click "Allow" -- You can then find and install the protected apps using appbrain.com (not the app). Then go into the AppBrain app and sync then install the protected app on the Nook.

"Google has made fast web install impossible in the latest upgrade of the Android market, which is installed on your device."
So ... I guess this can only be done with the older Market app? That's a shame, but better than not being able to use those apps I suppose.
Will the apps be able to update themselves if I install them this way? Or will I have to go back to the website every time?
I am an absolute noob when it comes to more sophisticated techniques of the Android OS. I have encountered more than once now that I want to (buy and) install an application but it is not compatible with my device (i.e. Xoom). Could someone point me to where there's a noob's guide to purchasing and installing apps that are apparently not compatible (who's deciding that anyways?)?
Thanks everyone! :cheers:
The app developer chooses what devices his app works on. They don't want a Xoom user trying an app that isn't supported. If / when it crashes, the user writes a nasty review.
I got apps to my nook color by using a couple different apps. One was Hocker, I can't remember what the other one. Essentially it was an app that allowed you to backup your apps to folder on the SD card. It made a .apk for the app. Hocker then lets you send the app via WiFi over to the other device (both devices had Hocker running and on the same WiFi network). You could also transfer via dropbox or using a computer to move the .apk over and forgo Hocker.
The other app was a file manager I think, maybe even astro? I'm not sure though, it's been a few months.
This method does require two android devices though. If you don't have another device to initially download the app, then you are going to have to pirate the app and you won't find help from me regarding that.
Thank you sir!
I downloaded MyBackup to my Nook Color and created a .apk file. Then I uploaded it to Dropbox and extracted it to my Xoom. Worked like a charm
I've successfully rooted my Nook STR using all information from here and the video at the-ebook-reader.com on rooting Nook STR. After updating the market, I can even get to search the market.
But there are several apps that I am not able to download because the market informs me that they are not compatible with the STR. How do they come to that conclusion?
And there is a way to download the app anyway, disregarding the android phone/tablet I have? There are several cool free apps that I'd like to try.
Are you sure the apps are compatible with Android 2.1? (The STR is 2.1. Some apps require 2.2, a few require 3.0
And where can I get that information? I searched on the app page in the market and didn't find it. Is this the reason why some apps are blocked for the STR? Android version? If it is, it's good to know.
If you access the Play Store on a regular computer you will see the Android version requirements for each app listed at the end of the app description. If your device is recognized by the Play Store (mine is seen as a "phone") then it will only allow you to download apps that it "knows" are compatible with your device. It can "see" that the NST runs Android 2.1. Even at that, some "compatible" apps simply fail to run on the NST or have limited functionality so it's a bit hit-and-miss. Sometimes you can track down an older version at the author's website (Perfect Viewer is an example) which will work on 2.1. So looking at the Play Store for something you want may not always be an exercise in frustration but you may have to go the extra km to get what you want.
