Can someone point me in the right direction as to how I learn what some of these vzw and lg apps are in my phone. i.e lg hidden menu. App widget picker. Would like to freeze some stuff but would like to know what i should and shouldn't do.

you can freeze the music,netflix, etc. i dont freeze apps starting with "com." unless I know what it is specifically, but the rest is trial and error. its not hard to see what ones you can by simply reading the whole file name.

It would be so great if we can get some devs working on this.

Here is a page that has the link to the .Apk.

I am downloading and installing now.
No one has been able to stream yet as far as I know.

Im sure that the UI isn't optimized for the large screen.
Having any luck skull?
OK, ui was stuck in portrait, so not optimized for honeycomb. When it went to start streaming it switched to landscape.
Was able to sign in and see queue etc. Tried to stream and got an error after a few seconds saying it cannot connect to netflix servers. This is consistent with what others are experiencing.

just tried the apk as well, no bones on streaming...
looks like its a DRM lockdown. log copied from this thread
Here is the drm software and the .Apk
Should this thread be in development, or will the devs see it here easy enough?

Don't know that devs will touch it. My thread in the nexus one forum was shut down for beginning a discussion to get this going. Devs are probably worried about lawsuits or cease and desisted. Remember what happened to Cyanogen back in the day.

Just wonder if there is a way to lock out certain apps like vzw nav and vcast? I wanna give my tab to my going to 9yr old step son for his birthday. There is no CC attached to his Google so that is safe, but I know the vzw crap will get tapped if I don't lock it some how. He loves words with friends and angry birds.....hey he is learning how to spell better! Any help would be great!

yeah i think this could help
http://bloqer.com/ . go check this app
I guess I could just pull the apk file.

Buy App Protector Pro. There are several like it on the Market, but that's what I recommend. Let's you lock whatever apps you want and toggle it on/off with a widget. I use it on my Tab anytime I'm handing it to someone who wants to play with it.
Cool thanks!

install titanium backup PRO and freeze these apps.
For example, I can't locate SPB Shell 3D on the market. If I go to this app from dev site by direct link I don't see Install button. I have purchased this app some time back even. Does somebody knows it is true? If yes then it is ridiculous. How dare they are to prevent me from using what I have paid for.
I know a lot of apps wont show if they have not updated to 2.3.4. Most are ok to use if you have 2.3.3

EA Games' Tetris works. However, the Need for Speed Shift app that I purchased doesn't work on my phone. I noticed that there is another Need for Speed app in the market that costs 10 USD.

I know apps can be filtered by OS version. The company I work for has an app that is only compatible on phones 2.1 or newer. Market will not even display the app on sub 2.1 devices or on 3.0 since its a Tablet OS. I have read, in the cases of tethering apps, that cell carriers can filter apps and Verizon has done so. I do not know whether Motorola does. I imagine they can, but why they would, I am not sure. I know there are Device specific apps (Droidlight) that are from Motorola that are visible and downloadable on other devices, they just do not work.
I have stopped to understand things. The SPB Shell 3D release history says
Version 1.2.1 (Aug 04, 2011):
Stability improvements
Fix Gallery for Motorola Atrix (2.3.4)
Other fixes
So it is targeted for 2.3.4. On my son's Atrix 2.3.4 I can see this app in the market. But not on my Droid 3. Mystery.
They can filter by OS version and device, so it may be supported on the Atrix but not the D3.

Exactly. That's why you won't find Wireless Tether on the Market haahah

So I had my bionic in my car mount and received a text message. The phone then preceded to read it to me.
I haven't seen this anywhere but is there a way to gain this functionality when walking around?

Settings text to speech and accessibility should help and handcent sms allows only text message readout on the press of a button if memory serves
I kind of wish I could disable this feature.
It kind of got me in trouble one day

I can imagine....
I went through the settings and there isn't anything there to configure when its available.
The Casio G-Zone Commando has a "read out" app that will read any unread messages when you press the app icon. I have looked for the app but can't find it. If I'm able to find a Commando ROM ans extract the apk, do you thing it would work? Hmm, I guess I know my evening.
I have never liked things like handsent or third party apps that do what I already have a core app to do. It just seems like bloat
Sent from my DROID BIONIC using xda premium
I agree but they work well as a temp fix until you find the solution
I think this would be a pretty cool thing if I could get it to work.
It didn't take me long to find a commando system dump, but a couple of hours later I am no closer to finding the apk.
I would GREATLY appreciate any help. On the commando there is an app called "read out" and it has the same icon as the text messaging app. If you touch the icon it will read your unread messages to you.
I figure (total guess) that it is interfacing with the picotts.apk like the bionic does in car mode. The bionic has the picotts.apk already, so I want to try installing the read out thing to see of it works.
Does anyone know what the read out apk is named? Or if this would work?

Give me a link to what you are working with and I will take a look, but I am no dev so no promises
Also this seems to work well https://market.android.com/details?id=de.exesmobile.messagereader

I saw there were a couple of apps, what I liked about this was it's almost more of a widget. Nothing opens you touch it and it reads. The down side to an app is if I have to open an app to use it I might at well read the message myself.
I appreciate the help. I know I probably sound like an idiot

So I was able to check out a Commando and the "read out" is a 1x1 widget, not an app. The commando is the only phone I have seen this on.
Is there a chance that the pico apk is different on the commando and has that widget? If so can I install that version and have it work?
I like the widget because I don't want every message read out. I don't see the point in a seperate messaging app, because I could just open and read the message. But the widget I could find useful if I'm on Bluetooth or busy with something and don't want to stop and read. Just tap the screen and continue doing what I'm doing!

Unfortunetely commando forums are few are far between and not a lot of help.

Looks like that ROM is froyo based so I'm going to say probably not

Sucks. Any devs got some free time, and want to work on something a little unique?
So you think that's it, its a different Pico apk?

Check out VLingo in the Market. It has a setting that will read your SMS messages for you. There is even a handy widget to turn it on and off.
I like Car Dock Home v3 for full customizing and use Tasker for everything. It would be trivial to create a task that says to read an incoming text out loud based on docking status or location or time or whatever, and even automatically respond.
Hi.
Im sick of seeing icons everytime I turn on my phone, is there anything I can use to make it different? I dont care it its like windows with the blocks, just something different then the 4 icons each row.

Use folders, each folder can be of a different type i.e. Games, Web based, Productivity and Entertainment.
The only limit is you imagination, don't forget you can always nest folders as well.
Good idea. I was thinking about making some round doughnut things as well but don't know how.

There's lots of launchers.. Windows 8 launchers for example.. Need to experiment with them... And look up the theme section in android general..

I tried that and liked it. Except the stock lock screen still active even when I turn it off. So I have the stock one and the W8 one. Its annoying.

You can make it look however you want, you imagination is the limit. Just go onto the homescreens thread and look there for inspiration.
