[Request] HTC TV App - One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Could someone please upload the tv .apk?
Wanna see if it'll work on my s4... as the standard one on that is craaaaaaap compared to the one on htc!
Thanks!

Exactly the thing I was looking for. The S4 has a decent TV remote app, but it's lacking a few features. Even though it has a huge list of supposedly compatible TVs, the stored IR codes don't work with my listed TV (Sanyo). The HTC One on the other hand has a feature where u point the remote at the phone's IR sensor, and it finds the code for you. E.G it should work on every IR device.
I've looked everywhere for this, can't seem to find it. Also tried to backup the up on the HTC One, so I could just send the APK to my S4, but for some reason I can't backup (or even find) any system apps on the HTC One. I've tried ES File Explorer App manager, Helium, and a couple other generic ones off the market. On the S4, it lists all of the system apps, and I can backup pretty much anything, but the HTC One only lists downloaded apps.
Anyone have an idea how we'd be able to get the HTC One TV app APK?
EDIT: Found this in another post "d b.tt/FJ8mmSH1" [Delete the space inbetween d and b] (All the HTC One system apps apparently), but I have no idea what the TV app is called. And I can't figure it out because the TV app doesn't appear in any task managers/backup apps on the HTC One.
EDIT 2: Found it; d b.tt/GyNejZy0 [delete the space again] But it won't let me install it on the S4, just says "App not installed", and that's it. Anyone know how to force it to install?

I have just had a look through my system apps and cant seem to find TV. Maybe it is part of sense?

Maybe try this one?

Same issue. We'll probably just have to wait for either Samsung to update their TV app, or for 3rd party ones to start popping up on the Play Store.

it wont be as simple as copying the apk over i think because of it needing some sense framework files

You need 3 apks for the TV app. 1 for the IR, 1 for the User interface and the other one for the channels. I have uploaded them here.
By the way just wanna ask does the S4 TV app require you to connect to the internet before you'll be able to use it?
I'm looking for an offline TV app.

It won't let u open it the first time without an internet connection, but after the first time you open the app and choose your region, area etc. it will let you open the app without internet (and use the remote function at least), but it keeps giving you the "you need the internet....." warning.
Just tried that .zip file, same thing as before, won't let me install any of the APKs. Probably just a compatibility thing.

I was told the HTC TV app is made by Peel. Search on Play Store for Peel Remote. It MAY have the exact same features. Actually some people are using it on the One instead of the stock app

Looks like it is, and so is the GS4 app (Samsung WatchON). The thing is though, the actual Peel app itself is only made for Galaxy Tabs, and I can't download it from the play store, also can't find an APK anywhere.

I could literally make no sense of your post lol.

It's pretty stupid how both the GS4 and HTC1 apps are made by Peel, but the GS4 one is lacking some important features

So does this mean you do not have to have a ROM running Sence to get the IR working with this App?

I tried the 3 apk files with the GE ROM on my HTC One, didn't work. None of them will install.
The Peel app in Google Play only does TV listings, it does not do the IR blaster part like the TV app on the HTC One.
I'd really like to have the TV app working with the GE ROM. I know Google is working on an IR blaster, but I don't know whether it will be as nice as the HTC TV app.

You can push the apps in System/App with the appropriate write accesses to force the install but after reboot the app fails to start correctly

HTC 1- TV apk
First, i want to thnk u for providing the APk's for the HTC 1. i recently installed stock jelly bean on my HTC 1 and lost all of the sense apps
Secondly, when i try to install the apk, it keeps saying app not installed. Am i doing something wrong? Should i try installing through the recovery screen?

The APKs won't work unless you have HTC Sense. (And obviously if you had HTC Sense 5 you would not need the APKs because you could use one of many ROMs with HTC TV already baked in.)
For anyone without Sense, the only options are whatever came with your ROM or an IR Blaster app off Google Play.

[Q] How does one set local country in any ROM?

Hi there.
Question: Custom ROMs not from Canada do not show Canadian only apps such as TD Mobile app (bank app). How does one set the local country so that the Market can detect the proper country?
I recently downloaded Rodrigaz MIUI ROM, and it's really great, except now I can't find my TD Mobile app. I called the bank and said that my phone or phone software is has to be set for Canada. Somehow if I flash my stock ROM it will show Canadian only apps, but some of these ROMs don't.
You're help is appreciated.
-Havoc
I have no problem finding the app using Cyanogen. The Market finds the app based on the fact that I use a Canadian Sim. However the TD app is also protected, which means you won't find it if the fingerprint in your build.prop isn't on Google's white list.
That being said, while you're figuring this out, you can access TD's mobile banking at this URL:
tinyurl.com/tdtouch
Bookmark it

Use Market Access.
Well if I use Cyanogen or the Desire HD port, it not only shows the canadian TD app but also shows the prices in canadian funds with a CA symbol. But any MIUI roms don't. I figured it might be a setting in the build.prop that I could change, but I lack the knowledge of locating such property.

Market Access won't let you see protected apps. TD is a protected app.

Try searching for some of the following protected apps:
Fruit Ninja
A Online Radio
Paperdroid Pro
(not sure if they are still protected but they were the last time I checked)
Do you see any of them? If not, your problem is with protected apps, not with location.
In any case, one simple solution to test: Next time you're trying out Cyanogen, make a backup of the build.prop. Rename your MIUI build.prop to build.bak and paste in the one from CM6. Fix the permissions to what they were before. Then reboot and see what you get in the Market.
Thanks for the reply, I searched for these apps and they're there. About the build.prop, wouldn't mixing from another rom have compatibility issues?

It could be a problem, don't know. There's only one way to find out... I say take a nandroid backup of your status quo before making the changes. If it fails to boot you can do a nandroid restore.
Strange that you see protected apps but not TD. The standard method of identifying your country for the Market is usually based on the SIM. Maybe MIUI overrides this.
I tried using Cyanogen's build.prop file today and it still doesn't show the TD mobile app
I'm at a loss.
Okay well at least there's a workaround: install it from Cyanogen, Titanium Backup, and restore that app to MIUI
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA App
Oh, you mean adb pull it from there? I can try that.
I thought I'd mention that a lot of Google search results seem to point to a "fingerprint" or "footprint" feature of the software to indicate what region/country, which is what them protected apps seem to look for. Does this sound familiar to anyone?
You may not be able to adb pull the TD app from your CM6 or stock installation as it's a protected app. But when you back up a protected app with Titanium, it transforms it into an unprotected .apk file... if you reinstall it using Titanium from MIUI it will go back into protected space; or you can browse to the folder and manually install the apk, which will install it as an unprotected app.

[Q] Has anyone gotten the Sports Illustrated app (tablet edition) ?

I am trying to install it via the Market online and the G-tablet is not listed as being compatible with it.
Dled it last night love it runs like a charm on vegan rom
I don't see the tablet edition available...All i get is the phone version in market...
I have searched google for an apk file and no one has one. The tablet version isnt in the android market even after being fixed and the online android market doesnt support vegan so i conclude we cant get it yet
I just grabbed it from the market, and it worked fine. I did get a message that it was for the galaxy tab.
I am running VEGAn 5.1.1.
Carl
My market will only see the phone edition of the app.
Can anyone pull the tablet edition apk and post it for download?

Same here.
APK would be greatly appreciated. Really looking forward to seeing some tablet optimized apps on the gTab
I just found it in the market. I am using vegan-tab. In settings, applications...clear cache AND data for Market, then force stop. Then clear data and force stop Google Services Framework. Reboot, accept terms of services in market, and you should find it. I just did this and it worked. The key is to also clear Market data. Hope this helps!
I found it but it says my device is not compatible. I did however able if I want to download the phone version.
Does it display in landscape? Is it free or just one free issue?
It displays in portrait only, but I think the layout is great. The app is free but the subscription is not. I get the issues in the app for free because I have a print subscription, but I believe you can also pay for a digital only subscription (don't know how much that costs).
Same issues here - can't find it in the market and can't find an apk on the web. If anyone could post the apk it would be much appreciated. I have a print subscription that gets recycled every week - the landfills are crying!
Don't really feel like uploading it anywhere, but feel free to pm me your email if anyone wants it. Backed it up with astro.
+1 for not linking the apk. Last thing anyone needs (XDA included) is the ire of sports illustrated. If you take your time you can find it on teh intertubes.

Log in with correct credentials and info.
Thats it!

What does the package do in order to make it work. And why do we have to do this, I thought this was a feature that should be working without jumping through hoops.

Easily answered:
Unzip the package.
As for the feature, give it a shot. You will find it missing.
This is my first HTC Android device - what is htcsense.com? Also, do I use cwm to flash this to the phone?
Edit: NM - got it installed and working - thanks OP!
Thanks alot man. Been looking forward to this. Seems it should have been released with it working out of the box....sad that you even HAD to fix it...
Wow! Only locations app/widget to be resolved now to get full functionality.
didn't see in your does and does not work list, but does this work for HTC Hub for wallpapers, scenes and themes? I clicked "Get More" and it just sits and a screen with a spinner.
Can't figure out what I'm doing wrong with this. Downloaded and flashed it a more than once. The app shows up under system/app checked via root explorer, but its not in my app list and when I try to click on the MyHTC.apk, it says installation not complete. Any suggestions?

I get no Hub icon widget, but when i go to add more skins etc. I get the 'get more' option which then connects me to htc hub to download. Sad thing that it just sits on loading and nothing ever appears
That was an inadvertent feature/side effect.
Scenes and skins are no bueno, but sound packs , ringtones, notifications, and widgets work.
Will the features be added

Also, unlike the Desire Z, which has separate apps for each hub function, ours are integrated.

miui4eva APPS ANYONE??

As you guys know(or should by now) I've ported MIUI to the Bionic. I need your help for a list of apps you would like to see in it. FREE APPS. Just Throw Some At Me And If I See Multiples, I'll Throw Them In It.
.....nothing?
Generally I think you should avoid adding apps...but the USB and wifi tether apps listed in my noob guide would be a good addition.

to late..and you guys are thinking apps like games and stuff...I'm thinking apps like
RomToolbox
DSPManager
PhoneInfo(as its pre-beta)
WifiTether
stuff like that ya know.....tools you'll need on a pre-beta Rom
MIUI apps
Flash Video Browser- watch Hulu, Youtube, College Humor, CBS as a desktop browser, no more blocked cause your on a mobile browser.
Webkey- cell sitting on charger in bedroom, have access and control of it from your browser.
AirDroid- cleaner than Webkey, less options but BADazz either way.
Webtop Connector- taken from Atrix I believe, lets you run webtop without buying hardware, just plug in HDMI cable. Can't wait it Webuntu is ready.
Android-wifi-tether- cause Barnacle wouldn't work and 4G is too fast not to tether.
NZB Leech- my ISP limits my bandwidth, so this help to expand it. Use Opera or Firefox and I like binsearch.info for downloading NZB files. No PAR checker, but I justs transfer to PC if I need to rebuild.
Clover- cause free $5 and easy to get pay and pay people. MOD EDIT: Link removed - no referral links allowed
LCD Density and LCD Resolution- I like that one shows you the resolution your about to set, other gives you more control. Set to 180dpi and webtop mirror will give you 1280x720 on your HDTV.
Swiftp- sharing is caring. Easiest FTP server I've used, and works great.
ES File Explorer
Opera Mobile
Firefox
Google+
Amazon App Store
Battery Monitor Widget
AdAway
1Weather
Android Assistant
Adobe Reader

I know this is overboard, but these are apps I like to install and use.
If you have an app that you consider better than the ones listed, please let us know what you like about it versus this list.
ES File Explorer vs Astro File Manager = ES has a built-in scanner to find network shared folders. Also client for Dropbox and Box.net, so easier to copy/paste into you cloud storage. Box.net offering 50GB free.
Maybe we can do a Games thread later on.

[Q] Samsung Mini Diary App

Ive installed Slim ICS on my wifes galaxy s.
She misses the mini diary app that was present on the stock rom. I have done many searches and found posts on this forum and others.
I have obtained a few MiniDiary.apk files form the internet and copied them to system/app using root explorer, and changed the permissions etc, but I have not managed to get this app to work.
Is there any way to achieve this? Have I been using the wrong apk files?
The stock rom she had was XXJVO. She would also be happy with the MiniDiary app from my S2 if it would be possible to get that to work.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
147 views and no repies?
Did I post in the wrong section?
Thanks.
It's impossible. I really liked that app too, but there's no way to get it working on a non-touchwiz rom. Even flashing one of those touchwiz framework packages didn't work. So you have two choice. Either go back to a Touchwiz rom (so non-AOSP), or find another app replacement (IMHO there's no good replacement on the market).
I like the app also. When I rooted my phone its gone. But what I am suggesting is you can get a Diary App vias Play Store. I bet they have alot there..

Knowledge is Power. Guard it well.
Thanks for your clear and concise answers. I had also tried one of those touchwiz frameworks too.
I too have trawled the play store for something similar but like you found nothing as good as the mini diary app. I'm sure I can find something that will make do.
wrong time
Hi I downloaded mini diary from the Samsung store and for today it shows a time - the 2 other entries don't. The issue is only that on the entry that does show the time it is 2 hours behind. The phone shows the correct time though.
I'm using Samsung galaxy s3 on latest official .nz firmware, I'm saying new Zealand because Im in .nz and live in .nz etc.
How can I fix this, the only setting I could see was location and weather .
have u tried this way:

im looking for the app too, but im totally noob maybe u can do it!
