Hi guys,
I am interested to this smartphone but i am scared by the problems of compatibility that this device should have. Can you explain me the situation?
What about the community of the razr I?
thank's for your time
So, no one has bought this smartphone?
Mainly games (but heaps do work).

Chrome problems
Ok so after reflashing AMBP rc2 over the top of matts homebake 31002 i can't install chrome on m xt890 GB. I did use 39001 to flashboot after getting flashboot failures from that sdcard modded img that was posted. So i'm thinking it has to be becasue of the updated 39001 radio which is now on my handset ( From what i know you can't revert this)
In google play for Chrome & google plus it is showing that device is not compatible, see attached screenshot
So after getting it to sideload (which doesn't always get through) upon loading I get
"Critical functionality required to run Chrome is missing; either your Chrome installation is incomplete, or not compatible with this version of Android" then FCs. At first look google plus seems to run ok once sideloaded.
So how can i fix it? Device id in build.prop looks the same as the stock info. Keen to get this resolved so i can use chrome again. Prefer to stay on AMBP but might have to try stock homebake or even 39001 again so i can get chrome running as i prefer it to ICS browser.
Thanks!

Edit: Also should mention is shows incompatible on the PC browser google play too, so can't get it sent via there either. Is there 2 APKs one intel one arm? can i get a link for the intel one if so.
after looking into it, its caused by running a non standard DPI. I've got my hands on a work around and its all good. Nothing to do with certain builds on rom just DPI.

(Yes, I searched the gtab forums but nothing came up).
After a little searching, I was able to find a leaked version of the Google Videos apk that is for the Xoom (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=13769278&postcount=8).
I've tried over and over to install this apk, but all I get is a parsing error. Just curious if anyone has tried, wants to try, or has had success with this app. Maybe someone has the smarts needed to "hack" it to work on our tablets. Just throwing it out there.
Don't know if this is the case or not in this particular situation, but sometimes I would get a parsing error when the apk didn't download correctly. After re-downloading a time or two, it would eventually install.
Could be that the application requires 3.1 or higher, and the rom you're using is still on 3.0 (As most honeycomb roms are ATM).
Yeah. I think it's a 3.1 required app. Too bad. It looks sweet! Guess we'll have to wait for the dev's to work up a 3.1 ROM.
Alright Y'all, I've attempted searching for the thread for the past week. I can't find the HW accelerated flash apk anywhere. I've tried uninstalling the and reinstalling the markets flash 11. I just can't get flash to work on the nookcolor. Can anyone help me out? I'm now on nightly 211 an still have no working flash. My YouTube works though, but any web link or video in the Pulse app wont show up, or if it does it'll say no flashplayer installed. Flash 11 settings comes up w a get flash logo, and click on it and permission to access market denied?

try flash 10, works perfect on my nook cm7. Although I changed build to nexus s and got flash 10 I saw on my wifes unmodded build.prop she had 11
just tried hers and 11 is working. We are on nightly 208
BTW, you can get the Barnes & Nobile Flash 10.1 out of the stock ROM 1.3 archive in a thread in the android development forum. Just open it up in a archive problem (it's a zip file) and get the .apk out of the apps folder. You can easily install this on CM7.
Hardware acceleration is almost useless though. It is extremely picky about which videos will actually play in hardware because the Nook only plays some kinds of H.264 videos on its DSP. So there isn't a lot to gain by using an older version of Flash. Flash is just not a very efficient app and it is too much for the Nook a lot of the time.
Also, the versions prior to 10.3 don't properly let you select different video resolutions because the option box doesn't work right with a touch screen.
Ah. Thank you very much

Hi All,
Honestly I have searched for this everywhere.....
Can't get the iPlayer App to work. I'm running Milestone AOKP 4 at the moment as the TP came with this pre-installed from ebay. (ITV Sort of Works) Embedded flash also doesn't work and I am redirected to the flash site which says I have it....
I've also downloaded FlashPlayer 11 from the market but that doesn't seem to work. Can anybody help me?
I'm new to flashing with Mboot & ACME (Not really used either) But very comfortable with ROM Manager and CWM Recovery stuff)
Also whenever I go to youtube on the browser (stock / Chrome Beta) it force closes and I have to restart the app. YouTube App is working fine.
Is anyone else experiencing these issues? Is it recommended to move to CM9 Nightlies or Alpha2?

Try doing a wipe / factory delete, wipe dalvik cache and install the latest nightly.
There are many free apps in the market, like doubleTwist, that are great media players.
I don't use Chrome. Dolphin HD, Opera and icsbrowser+ are what I use. Some things that one can't do, one of the others can.
Your can flash using cwm, install zip from sdcard, but you won't have data. But if you have a backup, you can try and restore data using CWM advanced restore > restore data. That's what I do.
Good luck.
Edit: Boot into webos and make sure it's up to date. Should be 3.0.5. Also install the speed tweaks, preware and patches /kernels.
I didn't think the Web OS version mattered if you are running cm?

I guess the webOS version doesn't really matter if you only run android. But I use webOS quite a bit. It's a great os, you'll also find that the battery life is much, much better.
Hi all
Relative newbie here with incredibly frustrating issue that has wasted many of my hours recently!
I saw this a thread about getting sky go (a UK video streaming service) working on a nexus 10 by spoofing build prop to think it's a nexus 7http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2045403
I flashed stock rom from Leapinlar's great thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2062613) then rooted with very green's equally great zip (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2437575).
Used device spoofer to switch build prop to nexus 7 and hey presto, skygo appears in play store - whoopee!
The problems come when I look to remove root - I used supersu to perform full uproot, reboot, clear cache, factory reset etc but whatever I try, skygo still gives me an error message saying my device is rooted.
Does anyone have any idea what might be causing this despite full unroot? Could it be the fact that the above process leaves me with cyanogenboot / non stock recovery? If so is there any way of rooting and spoofing whilst maintaining stock boot/recovery?
Thanks in advance for your help!
Mike
Sky use a number of tricks to work out if an device has been tampered with. The GS3 and Sky Go (plus their other apps) have issues with other recoveries.

Do you know whether there is any way of modifying the build prop without ending up with a non stock recovery?
If I can root and unroot without ending up with a custom recovery I think it would work?
Hello,
You could keep your device rooted. Just install this app on the Play Store, dubbed Hide my Root. It's a little bit of hassle, but every time you want to use Sky Go, within the app select "Hide su binary" then click on "Uninstall super user".
Once you're done watching Sky Go, and want your root privileges back, just restore SU Binary, and reinstall super user.
All the best.

Thanks for your reply, much appreciated.
Unfortunately this does not work - SkyGo still sees my HD+ as being rooted.
So Hide My Root doesn't work, could it potentially be due to Cyanoboot? Does anyone know how to create a "stock" root zip with build props spoofed to Nexus 7?
Thanks!
Has anybody had any luck getting SkyGo to work on a Nook HD+?

It could infact be due to you have a custom recovery and YES of course you can have root and have stock recovery, just install stock nexus 7 rom and root through ODIN and choose not to install cwm/phils/ect also please uninstall busybox sky go also looks for this.
Another note is apps like hidemyroot dont work on android roms nwer than 4.2 for example if you have a 4.3 rom youre screwed
Sky Go now on Nook HD+
Hi all
Anyone with an unrooted stock HD+ able to confirm whether SkyGo is now working since they released the Tablet version with wider compatability yesterday? Now shows as available to download on Nook HD+ but I'm running a custom ROM at the moment so unable to test out as it won't work on rooted devices . . . . .

I reverted to stock to get it working - works really well! - occasional minor glitches starting a stream but from there in it's good - the quality especially on the on demand stuff is really good compared to bbc player, itv player etc...
edit:
fwiw I'm running at the moment with unknown sources enabled (ITV Player claims to be incompatible with my device running stock - so I side loaded it, works fine) and cwm installed on the recovery - it works fine with those. I expect you could root stock and use a root hiding app and it would still work based on peoples results with the mobile version.
now it's just a matter of getting stock into a usable state - I think CM was a tiny bit zippier, but most of my issues with the stock UI have been resolved by installing apex launcher. Just need to figure out a way to change the lock screen, and maybe remove the status bar and I'll be sorted

Great, thanks for your feedback. Good news!
I'll probably look to have stock on sd boot card for the occasions I want to use skygo then
unknown sources

If you go to my HD/HD+ CWM thread linked in my signature and make a bootable CWM SD per item 1a, you can use that to flash my Enable Unknown Sources zip without being rooted.

Using "All 4" app with CyanogenMod 12.1 - "Missing software components"?
Hi,
I recently purchased my first Android device in the form of an Android Fire 7 (2015) tablet. I really didn't like the stock OS, and so I've installed CyanogenMod 12.1, which is much better! Everything is working great - I've got ADB and fastboot working via Terminal on my Mac, I've got a Terminal emulator running with root access on the device, and I've downloaded a bunch of apps.
My only problem is with the "All 4" app - an app created by a UK TV network with the purpose of catching up on TV. I used this app on the stock OS, so I know it works, but ever since installing CyanogenMod it's been troublesome. On first launch, it gave me a warning about my tablet "Missing some software components" (I didn't get this on the stock OS) and after acknowledging that message, it told me that rooted devices aren't supported and that I may experience some issues.
I removed the root using SuperSU complete uninstall, and now I don't get the root error, but still the missing components. I've tried searching around for some solutions, and other users have claimed that simply hiding their root fixes the problem, however I've tried this, too, and still no luck.
Is it possible to dual boot the stock OS and CyanogenMod - so that I could only use stock for apps that wont work on CG? Is it something to do with DRM? Is there another fix?
If anyone can help me resolve this it would make CyanogenMod the perfect OS for my tablet!
Thanks in advance...
I've got the exact same problem. Missing software components and it won't play anything. So annoying! I wanna know how to fix, I've also turned root off.
I doubt you can dual boot. The system partition isn't big enough is it?
