HTC Evo as HTC Droid Incredible - EVO 4G General

I apologize if there is a previous post regarding this question, I have search all over for an answer with no avail...
I was wondering if there is a way to trick the App Market into thinking that the Evo is the Incredible in order to download Verizon apps, such as Skype and the Inception: Mind Crime game?
I was also curious, if this is not possible, does anyone know where I might find the .apk files for those two apps?
Feel free to PM me with any information. Thanks all.
Cheers,
Terry

apps like skype will only work on verizon network

There is a skype lite version apk floating around that you can install on your phone that will work on Sprint.

The guy implied that if you are not on Verizon. The app will not work. So no, the app will not work

Re Skype
If Skype is your main concern, I found this story at Engaget:
http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/28/skype-mobile-with-video-support-coming-to-android-market-later-t/
Seems Skype intends to bring a "direct to consumer app to the Android marketplace later this year. This application will be available for all consumers globally to download regardless of carriers. (i.e. similar to how we offer the iPhone app today)"

The current Skype app does not work for the Evo. I have the Verizon Skype app, and after you install it, it will tell you that it can't run because you don't have a Verizon phone.
Just wait for the new version to come out for everyone, or get Fring and SIPdroid or something. There are many ways to make it work, but nothing as simple as straight Skype.

has anyone who tried this hack.

try to dl skype for verizon? this hack is to use verizon towers and one of the effects is that when u dial *2 it goes to verizon customer service.
just wondering with this will it make skype work on the evo?

If you download the Android app - My Market - this app is like Market but lets you select your country / provider. Select US Verizon and you can download and install the Skype App, but you can't get it to launch. Choose US T Mobile for other apps.

[Q] Swype on Evo?

liking the evo, the keyboard not so much.
any help would be awesome!

I can't say if the apk from the epic will work or not, but I do know there is evo specific apk out on the web that does work. I do not believe you have to be rooted.

Because it does not have a link to the app. Right now it is all talk but if someone posts the app it'll be gone.
I would like the new 2.15 swype if anyone has it [email protected]
lol i was thinking the same thing...but did get some good info out of it ha
BECAUSE no one here has broken any rules. If you post a link/apk in here then it gets closed.
By the way if you guys want the latest beta and you PM me provide your email address or else I'm going to send it telepathically.
Thread closed. Swype link was posted, which is in breach of the forum rules.

Haha, these codes are for the phones market signature - similar to the app MarketEnabler.
It allows you to spoof a network location and have access to apps you wouldn't normally have access too.
For example, if you set your code to Verizon (I always used 310012) you have a "Verizon" tab instead of 'Sprint'
You will also be able to download their NFL app, etc.

Hmm, the verizon nfl app should work if you still have it set as a verizon code. I know last time I had it on my phone it worked until I changed the code back to sprints. After that point, even if I switched it to Verizon it wouldn't let me use it.
Maybe they have a newer update for it that checks the actual phone number or something.

I Believe The "ONLY" Way The NFL App Will Work Is If You Turn WiFi On, & The Mobile Connection "OFF"
For Some Reason I Think The NFL App Can Tell Who Your Carrier Is With Your Mobile Connection Enabled!! Also Try To Clear Your Cache Before Trying To Enter NFL Mobile Again!!
Sent from my HERO200 using XDA App
Also Another App That Might Be Found Useful Is The "Bing" Search App (Also Limited To Verizon Only Customers) That One "I Know" For Sure Will Work After Downloading!! If Anyone Knows Any Other Apps Limited To A Specific Carrier,
Please Post'em!!
Thank You!!

Netflix App for Android released?

"We're also glad that it comes with a built-in Netflix app"
http://ces.cnet.com/8301-32254_1-20027663-283.html
anyone else catch this little golden nugget in reference to hands on with the LG Revolution and see it on the video. they did not say if its a streaming app or the one from the market that only lets you manage your queue but i doubt they would release a phone with an unofficial 3rd party app pre-installed on it.
http://news.yahoo.com/s/ac/20110105..._remote_control_button_deal_indicates_as_much
"Netflix, the popular video streaming and online movie rental service, not only has iPhone apps, Android apps and allows consumers access to their rentals via online access, but now the company is apparently taking over remote controls as well."

The netflix app isn't out yet. I think its going to come pre installed on that phone, and the app should be in. the market by the time the phone comes out. And that app in the market now isn't made by netflix.

Exactly. It's not the official app.
BTW the Thunderbolt RUU leaked and maybe a dev can look in the ROM file and pull the apk if it exists in that phone.
Netflix for Android App is Confirmed in Verizon LG Revolution Demo
Netflix for Android App is Confirmed in Verizon LG Revolution Demo
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0ymDAuyiMds
The long-rumored Netflix app for Android is confirmed in the following Verizon LG Revolution 4G demo as being pre-installed on the just-announced phone (expected in the next few months).
Due to DRM issues, the Netflix app will not be released on all phones, and Netflix has not confirmed the phones that will get the Android app yet.
via AndroidCentral. Thanks to FearNo1, Steve and Kevin for sending this in.
well if not all phones now, but soon google did buy the DRM company that netflix uses or something to that extent
lets hope for a rru leak for the LG Revolution
If it's as good as the Netflix app that the iPhone uses then we will be in good shape!

Most likely it won't be as good. The iPhone apps tend to be better than the Android version.
Even if the apk is in the ruu for a different phone, will it even work on the Evo?

It should. They may need to tweak it like they did the NFL verizon app.

It probably has a bunch of deep DRM stuff in the ROM. I don't think it will be as simple as inserting DB file into a system folder.

Unlike Windows Mobile, most of Android apps or not "HD2 only" ! You should better search on general Android forum, but like said before there's plenty of nice things on the Android Market

If anyone gives this guy a method of obtaining paid apps without paying for them, you are volunteering yourself for a 3 day vacation.
stffresh95 - Just buy them. If you can't because your country doesn't support them then I'm sure you can find some way of getting them. DO NOT ASK FOR WAREZ HERE AGAIN or you too will be taking a vacation.

You seem like the person to ask with as much knowledge as you know about phones and all the work you've created; good grief. I am stuck with Sprint and cant leave until next year without paying ETF; long story short; get terrible service and have airave (only works half the time and have 3 replacements-sprint does not want to address to issue; and me being on a SERO account probably doesn't help either) but someone in a different thread mentioned about a sprint diagnostic tool that you can use to force your phone to Roam verizon towers and get the boot rather quickly from sprint; unfortunately he said it was only for samsung devices; http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1774503

Sprint will boot you and terminate the contract with no etf if you do it enough. Not that I would condone such a thing.
I didn't know if there was such a tool that could work for the evo shift that you knew of since you work with other devs and know A LOT about A LOT of stuff. I searched google a bit then headed over here of the forums, but couldnt find much in regards to it for my phone. thanks in advance

I thought the PRL would need to be changed to something different; I will give Roam Control a go and keep in Roaming...thanks
No you don't need to change your prl. Also, Several Shift ROMs like newSENSE Supreme Sense and StockMod have roam only as an option built in so you don't have to buy roam control if you don't want too.
