Help needed to convert old nes roms converted to apk - Android Software Development

I recently began developing for android and am trying to figure out how to convert old console games to either adobe air or normal apk.
I tried Google and the results are to jumbled to pull anything from it.
I know it can be done, simply because there are apps in the market that does this exactly.
I would like to run these apps through API, not emulator apparently found on market.
Any insight is appreciated. Thank you.

Sonos Controller for Android

The official Sonos Controller is now in the Android App Market. Unfortunately, there's no Honeycomb support. Can't seems to find the apk on my phone once it was downloaded. Would like to side load it onto my Xoom to see if it works.
Let me know if anyone can point this out.
Install ES File Explorer, open it then click Menu, Manager, App Manager. Long press on the app and press Backup, it will then backup the apk to backups\apps on the sdcard.
Excellent!
Very accurate instructions. I'm very thankful.
No problem

I was able to get it running on my XOOM. But it was definitely built for the phone devices. Its small and vertical. Come on Sonos!

Install Spare Parts from the Market and disable compatability mode, that will stretch the app out for you.

Netflix .apk here!

I have the (unofficial) Netflix app for Android here, I heard that the servers have been opened now so it should theoretically work; I am going to test it and report back.
(Attached below)
*Edit: I have tested this app and it runs however when trying to stream a movie it will display a message along the lines of "your device is not supported"
No go
I'm getting a force close upon login using this apk. Anyone else having better luck?
Uninstall and reinstall worked for me

I found another .apk in a different thread com.netflix.mediaclient-1.apk 5.44mb and I have the same issues. Gives the your device not supported. Does let you log in and seems to be stable, but can't view any movies. Everytime you try it just comes back saying device not supported.
only streams on 5 phones not ours

Did that too and still get the force closed upon signing in... are you on stock(besides rooted)...
I got the "device not supported" message, but was able to get a login screen after waiting a few seconds. I logged in, but can't stream.
maybe we can edit one of the lib files inside the apk? much like was done on the Adobe Flash Player lib file to enable hulu playback on our phones. I don't know how to do this, but an idea nonetheless.

im new to the android thing but would changing the fingerprint in build.prop file be enough to trick the app into thinking the phone is supported?
havent tried it myself yet..
They got it to work on nook color by just editing the build.prop
ro.product.model=HTC Vision
ro.product.manufacturer=HTC
And then rebooting.
Has anyone else tried this?

Just tried this , not working I only changed the two fields you suggested but not working, there are lot of other fields that can be changed, I made a back up of my original so I will play around with it
Does anyone have a netflix account that I can use to try to see if I can access it from my phone? I will not change any account information.

same here...it just craps out
I also tried "T-Mobile G2" and that failed as well
any other strings we can try for other devices are supported at the moment?
1. HTC Incredible with Android 2.2
2. HTC Nexus One with Android 2.2, 2.3
3. HTC Evo 4G with Android 2.2
4. HTC G2 with Android 2.2
5. Samsung Nexus S with Android 2.3
(I don't think any of the above have similar enough hw to the tegra board we have)
I did notice there is 5 .so files device{1-5}.so when you unzip the .apk file. I tried mucking with .js files to force the app into accepting a device string instead of polling the device but I'm failing at creating a workable apk file.
I used apktool and auto-sign but when I install my modified apk (even if it's just repacked) it fails to run...i'll leave that for another day; i've got much to learn in the android world....

Android Banking

Hello!
I'm really sorry, I'm asking here because don't know where to ask.
Few months ago I've bought on the Market Android Banking app. It was pooled from the Market. Right know I can't find it seems like it is not here anymore. Tried to contact developer he is not answering too.
Who can give me advice what to do? May be somebody have last version of that app 4.5.1
Can somebody help me? Or it is not worth it?
i have no idea but alot of banks have their own apps, like chase and etc.
You can always google android banking .apk (or whatever the name of the app is) and you should be able to find it like that. Find the apk file download from phone and install. Make sure you have install from unknown sources checked in your settings. Or download apk from computer and transfer to your sd card and install from there. Hope this helps!
Edit... also mobile banking applications are proven to not be that safe so at the least make sure you also download android firewall to make your information a little more secure. Remember though android phones are known to be very easily hacked into!!!!

Maybe its just me, but I would be very skeptical of any generic "banking" app, especially one that has now been pulled from the market. I would not touch it with a 100 ft pole...

How to get some free apps from GPlay without root.

Have you ever wanted to get an awesome free app from Google Play on the HDX but you just don't have root? Well that is actually easier than you might think at first. I hope this will be useful, personally I use this trick a lot.
1.) Go to the google play store on the web and choose a free app (it only works with free apps)
2.) copy the URL and paste it in the search bar of the following website:
apps.evozi.com/apk-downloader/
3.) click generate download link.
4.) choose which app you want to download the apk with.
5.) then click open file, and then hit install.
6.) Play the game!
I use this trick to download stuff that isn't on the Amazon market but is free, like the Buzz launcher and other games. I hope this helped someone, and thanks.
:laugh:
I think most of the xda users will know how to do similar things, but maybe there is a new guy out there who doesn't. like me half a year ago!
Good to know... I've been able to use 3rd party stores for everything I've needed so far

Cool, thanks man.Never thought of that, but I never had an advanced phone- no need. For my uses a nokia brick is good enough.
Or just sideload 1mobile market. no root needed for it to work just for the apps it cna download that need root just like normal playstore it has all the free apps that google play does. I assume its similar to those apk downloaders out there but just does it on the device and in an interface that works well and even allows searching and the like.

Game cheating

Hey everyone I just wanted to see if anyone had tried using some hex editors like game cih, game killer, or game genie. The only one I can get to work is game genie. The other two say I don't have root. I'm a little confused by this because when supersu popped up I checked grant and I went back and made sure it always grants. When I open the apps it says root access granted. But still doesn't work. I assumed it might be busy box needed to be installed so I installed that. At least I think I did. I don't know how to test that. Any help would be appreciated.

either youre doin it wrong or its possible the apks need to be made compatible with newest kk... either way, i dont even bother anymore cuz most games i play are server sided n cant be hacked so easily.. also, hacking server sided games is illegal and not allowed here on xda to my knowledge.. im sure theres a gamecih thread on xda somewhere as well as other sites dedicated just to android game hacking where you could get more specific information on what youre looking for...
