Galaxy on Fire

Hi all,
I purchased GoF2 a while ago from the market, and since i've upgraded to the Tab, i'd love to be able to play it in all 7"s of glory. However, it isn't listed in the market on the device and the web market declares my Galaxy Tab as not compatible. Is there any way to make it compatible and if it is already, retrieve the APK from the market?

You can try downloading "Spare Parts" from the Android market to force apps to load full screen... Be warned though that not all apps scale properly... Tried it on diner dash and it did not scale that well, it was better to play it on original resolution even though it did not fit the whole screen...
Might work on yours though...
Hope this helps...

It does run on the galaxy tab.
Period.
No matter what you do.

For one, its a tegra 2 game, 2nd its for ginger bread, but there is a modified version floating around that was modded for snapdragon gpus, so if you're on 2.3 you could try that version in conjunction with chainfire3d.

Just upgrade Tab to Android 2.3 and use Chainfire3D with NVidia plugin.

[Q] app questions

Two apps i want to know if there is a port or an .apk file for the galaxy tab
1st- T-mobile tv app
I found a version of it for g2 that did work but it is smaller then the screen even with spare parts. I'm wondering if there is a version of it for the tab or even a port from another t-mobile tablet that will work
2nd- Burn notice graphic novel
on the panelfly website it says that there is an android app out for select android devices and one some sites i looked at had it showed on a Samsung galaxy tab. I looked at the market place and couldn't find it and wondering if anyone has found the .apk for it.
If anyone can help me find either one of these apps for my galaxy tab lots of thanks will be given.

Try reposting it in the alps section

New Galaxy Note market not updating.

I just got my Galaxy Note today, switching from Galaxy S2 , everything works perfectly and I loved the massive screen very much,
One thing brothers me, the Note come with the old version Market, like my old S2 does but my S2 will auto update the Market to the newer version with revamped UI and stuffs but my Note doesn't do that, it still run the old UI Market.
Anyone have the same problem? any way to update the new market? Thanks

You can download the new one by downloading the apk from the app and games section (main section, not Note).

Turn on auto sync and wait a little while. Then go to Market and see if it updates.

Thanks for the answer : ), I downloaded the latest 3.4.4 and installed manually. Thanks again

[Q] Samsung Apps + Sky Go/+ wont install

Not sure if this is a known issue or not..
But got a Galaxy Note (Rooted, with Paranoid Android rom 2.50) and Im having problems installing some applications from the Marketplace, mostly Samsung Smart TV remote apps and the "Sky" range (Sky+ and Sky GO)
When I try to install them from my phone, the apps arnt listed and from the web-based market-place my phone is listed as Incompatible.
What gives?

You won't be able to load any samsung apps as they are Touchwizz dependant. Not sure about sky go, what dpi have you set?

Even the ones for interfacing with their SmartTV range? Weird!
I've a "Workspace" UI of 720px / System Apps at 360px / User apps at 360px

i dont think its the ROM,
i am on TWJB and still "Samsung Remote" says This app is incompatible with your Samsung GT-N7000.
although if i check the reviews for N7000, people seem to have installed it

Thats pretty dang weird..
I wonder if you could push the APK file down onto the phone would that work..
Whats the sort of "Policy" about handing around APK's for free applications?

Think it's okay, as it will either allow install or not.

Gear 2 apps on gear 1 (Tizen)

Hello, just wanted to share that I had a friend send me a gear2 app (.wgt) file that was not in the Samsung app store available for the gear1. I installed the app on my gear one via PC CMD - non rooted and the gear2 app works perfectly on my gear1, I have done this with 2 apps already! I don't understand why Samsung limits gear1 apps that will work just fine.. Is there a website where I can download more gear 2 apps (.wgt)? I searched online and found a few direct downloads to side load. Just looking for more... Thanks!

I know why, it's a marketing strategy to make more money, to get us to buy the newer one. Smh.

OK so I figured something else out now by researching this forum. I changed my build prop to a galaxy S5 now I see tons of apps!

How did you do it? I Have the gear 1 running Tizen apps, there are not many apps, please share how you got more apps, [email protected]. thanks

I installed [ROM][I9505][XXUGNG4] Samy Deluxe S5 Style Operation Ivy and all of a sudden got a ton of apps for the Galaxy Gear Tizen in the store.
Don't know what has changed, but there's loads of apps. So something in the phone tells the store what apps to show... Anyone have a real S5 with a Gear and loads of apps?
Btw, if you install that rom on an S4 you need to fiddle a bit to get S Health to sync. Not sure what I did, but it worked. Installed Fitness with Gear, removed goprovider.apk and updated Gear Manager again with Galaxy Apps and it worked... Anyway

What probably changed is your build prop. A common way of getting more apps is spoofing the model number of an s5.
So long as your rooted you won't need to flash anything.
This http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2810782
Tizen Apps - Phone Models thread gives some details, instructions for altering build prop can be readily found using Google.

I had the build prop changed before aswell, but I have more apps now then they show in their screenshots with this rom.

The screen shots in that thread are quite old now, lots more apps have been added since and they come in too fast to keep the screen shots updated.

Anyone kind enough to let me know what new apps are available on the fitness section? I had to downgrade to Android in order to use Runtastic on my gear 1 + Note 3 combo. Might consider rooting if it's now available on gear 1 Tizen..
thanks!
