I have used a app that can make my i9000 compatible with any app in market so I can download it....please help me what is that app....
Thank you in advance

I don't remember such a thing , well if you mean an app that allows you to download apps that aren't available in your area/region , there is yes ..
But an app that allows you to download apps that aren't supposed to work on your phone since its a hardware thing usually ..

Do you mean market enabler?

Try search "market" in play store.maybe u will find what u are seeking.

i had a similar problem today so maybe this will help you...i will start from the begining.
i was using dark night v3 but when i updated to v5.5 today, two of my important apps were not working. it says in the play store that they wernt compatible with my device. i tried restoring anyway with titanium backup free version but when it popped up to confirm instal (where it shows permissions) it would say failed and then crash the phone on the restoring data
so i bought the pro key for titanium backup. the pro version skips this step and installs in the background. AND IT WORKED! i click on my two apps and they work as before.
i hope this helps you also.

Yes, that is my problem...months ago i used an app to enable me to download uncompatible app that caused by this similar case. I totally forgot the app.
luckily, i didnt download the app from the previous rom. Maybe i need to flash back.

It gives you access to all play store and removes the region restriction.go to play store and type "market enabler"

Maybe flash back to the compatable rom, install the app, backup with titanium pro version, flash to new rom then restore with TB pro. it seems the hypershell feature in pro version can bypass the incompatable restriction.

the fastest solution is download app from internet.

Aptoide stuck on google package installer

I can download and search for the apps fine but once it's actually installing, the package installer is stuck.

Download and install a previous version of Aptoide. The same problem you describe, appeared on me with the latest version of Aptoide.

Your phone doesn't have to be rooted for it to work right?

For Aptoide, not. You must however, enable the "unknown packages" option in the Settings\Security panel.

i have the same problem
this problem is caused by aptoide , in the new versione the file downloaded havent .apk extension and the installer doesn't work
if rename the file EXAMPLE in EXAMPLE.apk the installer works correctly but u have to do this with all the application downloaded :/
i want to try to modify to rename the file with extension

Is there an app that's similar or better than aptoide?

blackmart are similar but i prefer aptoide :/

Aptoide is the best cydia-like app we have in Android. That's the end of it. If anyone else is experiencing installation problems with the latest versions of Aptoide, all he has to do is simply install an older version of Aptoide. It may be simpler in looks, but, most importantly, it WORKS!

I think its more like Installous or Appcake, not like Cydia, isn't it?

Do the apps update themselves when you use aptoide?

Had the same problem on aptoide 4... revert to 2.7.1 and it'll be fine

Do the apps update themselves on aptoide or do you have to install the latest one whenever it comes out?

Does anyone know where to install an old version of aptoide? Whenever I try, it always gives me 4.0

Works fine fir me, after upgrading to 4.0 just delete the .aptoide folder then stop the app and clear data in app settings.
Relaunch let it add the default repo and any updating onstalls fine...

Exactly! Here's location of aptoide apps: "/sdcard/.aptoide/apks" They should be named with long, strange numbers

How to downgrade from any snapchat version to [9.3.1.0] to use snapprefs 1.4.2

In this thread I will explain you how to downgrade to snapchat v9.3.1.0 so you can use snapprefs again[ROOT].
Requirements:
- Latest snapchat version installed
- snapchat 9.3.1.0.apk
- Titanium Backup
- Xposed installer
1. Make sure you have logged in to your latest snapchat version.
2. Open up Titanium Backup and go to Backup/Restore > Snapchat > and Click Backup !
3. Now got to your currently installed snapchat APP info and click clear data and then uninstall it.
4. Now install snapchat 9.3.1.0.apkAfter install is complete DO NOT OPEN SNAPCHAT!!!
5. go back to Titanium Backup and go to Backup/Restore > Snapchat > Restore > MAKE SURE YOU CLICK "DATA ONLY"
6. Just download xposed installer and snapprefs and you will be ready to go!

Great
This guide worked great for me! Thanks mate for this.

I dont really understand the backup part. Why då you need to backup? It's just to uninstall and install and done?

Because you can use a older version of snapchat if you are already use it but you can't log in

I kind of do it in reverse. I have a backup of Snapchat 9.3.1.0 in Titanium and using the 9.7.0.0 apk to install snapchat. So...
- Install latest Snapchat from either playstore or grab the apk from apkmirror
- Login to snapchat
- Open titanium and restore ONLY APP for Snapchat 9.3.1.0
Obviously latest xposed unofficial and snapprefs are installed and working properly too. Either method seems to work though.

I did it both ways and cant get it to work

thanks i really needed this!

Are you sure xposed is installed and working properly? What rom and device are you using? I noticed when I flash some roms I tend to have issues with SELinux (enforcing vs permissive) or it seems maybe some roms are so heavily optimized with all these wacky unnecessary toolchains that xposed just doesnt work at all on it.

Lol I was actually about to post again. I got it working. Stock rom BTW

You are the best for figuring this out! Thanks!

I accidentally deleted my old backup and i cannot log into the old version. Any idea how to work it?
Nvm im dumb

Just download the latest version, log into it and make a back up. Then delete the latest version. And install the old version and restore your made back up.

Or use the Xinstaller Xposed module and just install the 9.3.1.0 apk over the latest after you logged in, no need for Titanium Backup.

Can someone tell me what is so good about the snapprefs 1.4.2 ?
and does anyone know how to share a library pic and make it my story, as when I share a pic from my library i can only individually send it to people

Everything works on 1.4.2, and many don't like what Snapchat has done to the app as far as changes go.
For sharing, the latest 1.4.5 works fine sharing images from your gallery to your story or to individuals.

Hey Guys, im currently trying to get Snapchat working on my Desire HD with MIUI. I have Android 2.3.7.
I want to try this method but i cant download the latest app version because my device doesn't support it.
Could somebody may create a new accound, backup the data with Titanium and maybe upload it somewhere? I don't know what else i could do.

I'm on Miui8. I tried this method. Everything was going good. But at last when I restored the data, snapchat automatically logged me out of it.

BlackBerry Mod

THIS IS FOR ANDROID 6.0+ ONLY!!!
This is mod I use on my LG V10.
Package was originally created as an add-on for Eliminater74's Rom.
I just ported it over as a flashable zip for my use but I figured I'd share.
Put zip on your external sd card and flash from twrp.
You will get a few "BlackBerry services not working " in the beginning but they will soon go away after some usage. These apps were on the BlackBerry Priv and are pretty useful especially the Hub. If there are some apps you don't like, just uninstall or freeze with titanium backup.
There is a launcher, contacts, calendar, bbhub, password keeper..... just a bunch of stuff.
Enjoy

Do you use titanium backup? If so, under preferences you can use market doctor to attach app links to play store and that should help. But, j700h is outside the U.S.? That might be the issue but I can't say for sure. Try market doctor and let me know please.

Yes, installed the Blackberry Manager by Colbalt and it lets you install all the apps.
I prefer however downloading the folders from Colbalt (just check one of the previous posts on the thread) and install the apps I like (blackberry hub, calendar and keyboard) -the rest are just average (contacts on MM is way better than that of BB)

Question Restore from Google Backup

Apologies if this has been answered already - I've searched and not found an answer.
I've just received my China version; having installed Google Play, is there any way to force a restore of a Google backup of my previous phone - it would be so much easier if it could (re)install my apps and settings in one go. I can't seem to find a way to do it.
Thanks

Someone correct me if I am wrong, but I think restoring from Google backups is only possible during the initial configuration. And China ROM doesn't have Google Play 'out of the box', it needs to be installed by the user. So I'm afraid it's not possible. But again, I could be wrong.
I would recommend unlocking the bootloader and flashing either the Global ROM or Xiaomi.EU. Preferably Xiaomi.EU because Global ROM is significantly behind with updates.

I couldn't test it but if you have installed google playstore and the google app basic android should be available. Then you can "restart" the inital setup via adb command:
adb shell am start -n com.google.android.setupwizard/.SetupWizardActivity
That should run the google setupwizard. I can't try it as I have already .eu rom on my phone installed and there it is available from scratch.

If it doesn't, I only need to last as long as installing another ROM, but of course have to wait a week for that to occur!

As it happens I just tried it and got an error message:
Starting: Intent { cmp=com.google.android.setupwizard/.SetupWizardActivity }
Error type 3
Error: Activity class {com.google.android.setupwizard/com.google.android.setupwizard.SetupWizardActivity} does not exist.
If that means anything to you and if there's an easy answer, I'd be grateful for the help. If not, don't worry

Ah - this is what I was afraid off. With installing google playstore the google setup is still missing. You could try the Android Setup Wizard from Google from APK mirror. This should install the missing files. But I really can't confirm that this will work. In worst case you need to do a factory reset. Or you just install the .eu rom and all problems gone .

Damn. So it is missing something more. Then I'm out of options to be honest. Maybe someone else has an additional idea how to get around that. Or you really think about switiching to .eu rom. Sorry.

use Xiaomi's mi mover app on the play store and you install it on both the previous phone and the new one, it will move everything over for you. I have been using the built-in migration app for all my phones, and they work just as well as google backup

Thanks very much - that is the solution. I had tried to use Mi Mover before using Google backup/restore but it kept failing.
The trick was – as you say – to install a fresh version from the Google play store and not to use the version which was already installed on the phone from the xiaomi App Store.
Once I did that, it worked a treat!!
