The question was asked in the Q&A section, but since it got no replies, I'm trying to bump it here
I was looking at killer mobile website -
http://www.killermobile.com/applicat...-recorder.html
and I saw that under the section of -
"Confirmed on the following Android Devices (No Rooting Required)"
the galaxy i9000 will work with their call recording app if it's running android 2.2.1.
Further at the bottom, there is another section -
"Requires Custom ROM/Kernel/Libs w/Rooted Device"
and there it says that the application will work with the i9000 if libraries are replaced, and there is a link for those libraries to download.
If I'm running 2.3.6 (JW1), and will replace those libraries, will the app be able to record calls on my device?
Don't think so, you're on Gingerbread (2.3) no Froyo (2.2).
They use different library files...
You won't want to do this on 2.3 or higher, could really screw up your device. We've had some feedback for another "trick" for later OS versions, but really, I wouldn't suggest it (nor do we even post this info) due to how risky it is. Probably better to just change devices.

Hi,
I'm using Motorola Milestone. A lot of times I have to update a new version of an app which has several bug fixes for Nexus One. As I know that the Milestone and Nexus One are running the same Android OS version (2.1). I just wonder why a normal application (such as Calendar or Note) must be dependent on hardware? I mean the same application version that works on Milestone but some of its features don't work in the Nexus. Let's take an example of Windows OS. We can install Firefox, Winamp or even some low level interacting program like anti virus in any computer (Lenovo, Acer,...) as long as they're running the same Windows version (like Vista). Is it a down side of Android platform?
I think I have a similar question. On my work the have a winmo databas app that work like an workordersystem. Can this program run in Android by any chance or has it to be rewritten to work on a Android platform?
I managed to install my application on the SD card by using to apkInstaller.
I thus wanted to test the installation from Android Market... My application does'nt settle down on the SD card but on the telephone... Why ? Nevertheless I added in the manifest the option android:installLocation="preferExternal" !
Needs to make other thing ?
Thank for your answers !
It's mostly localization.
Either developers ask google to make their app available only for certain devices, or certain manufacturers ask google to make only certain apps available.
If an app is built against the SDK, then it's compatible with all devices that share that SDK version.
Hello everyone! Hope this is the right thread to post about this.
However...I released an app some days ago, called AudioBoost, which is capable of boosting (and fine-tuning) the volume for headphones, speaker and mic. It currently works just on the Samsung Galaxy S, as that is my only android phone.
Since I had some requests (and I also think it could be useful), I am willing to try making future versions compatible even with other android phones, like nexus one, htc desire, motorola droid, etc.
What I need in order to accomplish this in the beginning is a few people (1 for every different device) who can spare half an hour or so of their time in a chat session with me (gtalk, msn or skype would be fine) where I basically tell you "do this and post me the result", then after some days just try out a beta version for a while and give me some feedback (by pm or email would be fine). Of course such people would obtain free version of my app and future upgrades as a sign of gratitude!
REQUISITES:
1. Phone must be rooted
2. You must have the android sdk installed (or just adb command)
3. You should be capable of performing some basic things with a shell terminal (and not be scared about it ), like knowing what it is, writing a command and pasting the result back
4. You should have a pair of wired headphones and an mp3 of your choice on the phone
I can guarantee you that your device will be safe and the simple operations I'm going to ask you to perform will cause *NO HARM* to your phone. After the session is finished, I will let you uninstall everything I asked you to install, so no permanent files or anything!
If you are interested please post here your phone model, email address and if you meet the requisites and I will contact you back!

Hi all...
I was wondering if and how could be possible to port apks built for one tablet to another of different brand, i.e. I liked a lot the email client of the Samsung Galaxy 10.1 (with multiple email selector and recycle bin emptying feature), but many others are worth a try...
When I try simply to push the email.apk to my Iconia, it won't work (the icon diasppears from apps), if I try to install it I obtain an error (app not installed) probably due to a signing mismatch... I'd like really to learn how to do this, if possible. This knowledge will complete and accomplish any further request about personalization of our tablets, could be a great improvement being capable to get out the "system" you really want...
I tried to figure out how to use apk manager, but it's quite really difficult without some good suggestion, the thread is more than 200 pages long, and I got stoned before simply find out any usefull info about "system apks"...
TIA
I would like to know also. I want the Facebook account integration from the Galaxy.
Some apps are license by that manufacurer and would be considered wares.its a gray area please be careful. And make sure the Dec of all apps you use get paid
simple answer
couple of APK for galaxy are using CORE framework of the galaxy tabs firmware itself
that will not be possible to just install those apk.
such as
touchwizUI
status bar overlay (I mean the minimode menu with quick access), the quick access settings...
Email and Social things
It's their "Marketing Strenght" so they didn't make it easy to be "stolen" by other brands
I run just the dual clock, the memo, and eReader from samsung but I am running a custom firmware so that change many things
At this moment only 1 custom firmware does use Samsung as base, Virtuous Galaxy... but I have to warn that using custom firmware without following backup steps strictly or knowing the consequence is to AVOID.

first of all, thanks for your answer, and your warn...
I'd like to go deep in the question, as you correctly affirmed, virtuous galaxy's based upon Unity v5 kernel, but virtuous picasso also lays on the same structure, doesn't it?
right now I'm running m-dj's picasso 1.1.0 rom, wouldn't be possible, with any required modification, to run elsewhere coming apks?
I mean, think about having two different pcs, both with the same hardware and the same linux distro and kernel, wouldn't seem wierd that on one pc you could run an application that won't run on the other?
I'm thinking, if they wanted to protect their components why they didn't simply wrote hardware oriented kernels? Therefore, its a fact that on my iconia I can run either a Samsung or an Asus based rom, according to this, where is the cross-platform limit? I mean, is there some sort of documentation defining which part of these Android system is "really" open, under GPL, GNU or whatever structured property info list? I can't find any browsing the net... or maybe I've found too much, its almost impossible to understand what you can and what you can't...
I do not know the whole answer to this question.but I do know this much.if you have any.apk application that is for sale on the market or was installed for free on any device that it was not pre installed on. I would thing it would be considered pirated. As you did not buy it.nor did the developer give permission to run the API on your device.thou some apostle you buy can be installed across the devices you have registered with Googler
if im wrong people please correct me.I just think that developers that fallow rules and write great software MUST BE PAID.

Right and Wrong
if the application is a paid application and wasn't preinstalled on your tablet it is not really legal
if the application is free but cannot be installed from the market and you install it from other sources it's ok
if the application is from another tablet, and exclusively on this tablet do not expect run it on the stock firmware of your tablet, you have great chance to cannot run it simply, or get some random FC (such as from GALAXY because they use another structure on the file directory... so some application try to get the path and it's return an error, Or they are implemented and integrated with the kernel and that... you can't pass throught)
On my tablet I do run
ASUS widget
Galaxy widget (dual clock)
and some other application not from ACER.
now to get back to the OP
. you are on a virtuous... why not go on the virtuous Galaxy !!! if you want galaxy application... I don't get it...

I agree to this explanation of yours, when I flash a rom different from the original, aware that's coming from a different brand, I'm more or less conscious that I'm doing something wrong. mmmf... that's philosophy... won't lose your time
The point is, I've tried the Galaxy rom, I don't like the interface, I don't like the extra bar functionalities, in short I mostly appreciated the Email.apk, most of all because it has a convenient "select all" function, even in the recycler bin (I can't stand with an email client stupid like the one embedded in the Acer version). In any case, given the impossibility to get the Galaxy Email, I'll buy a new one on the market...
Hi,
I have an HD2, and a couple of months ago, I installed android on it.
But recently, it gets annoying... it has robotvoice, the signal strength always drops completely and comes back, and often, the touchscreen just hangs and does nothing...
Now Im think about installing a new version.
But I have some questions.
Oft I read that some builds have a "hacked market" or "black market"... what is that? I dont want "bad" software in my phone...
And, maybe I got a bit paranoid after reading about the HTC Logger and CarrierIQ.... but can one be sure that recent Androidbuilds and/or Mods are free of such things? Is somebody testing this?
(Is the recent CyanogenMod safe concerning this?
And one last, very newbie, question. If I synchronise my contact and my calendar with my gmail account, I can safely install a new version and have all contacts back, right?
Thx.

First Black Market is an app, different from the android market place. It has alot of the apps that are on the android market but all the paid ones are free. Its warez, and that is not allowed on this site.
What you are reading in rom infos is about a hacked market with is just the normal android market usually an old version as it is faster that won't update itself. Or a new version but is hacked to work on a different screen density not usually available with the market. Both of these "hacked" versions are safe to use 100%.
HTC Logger and Carrier IQ are part of the stock kernels when the phone ships and not all carriers use that software, there is no chance any dev of this site would allow such things on our phones.
Second yes if you backup everything with your google account it will all be back as long as you use the same google account with the next rom you use.
Cheers,
Evil.

Hi,
Its me again
I would post in the Hyperdroid thread, but I am not allowed to, so I hope somebody will read it here.
I want to install Hyperdroid, and for that I need the clockworkmod. I already have magdlr 1.13. As far as I see, I should get the 150 mb file for clockworkmod, but all the links in the original thread are dead.... where can I get the appropriate file?
And, does the Hyperdroidmod support other languages?
Thx.
I have Android phones / tablets for the last 2 years and whenever Google came out with new OS, majority my applications still work with the new OS. These are non-system apps like Financial apps. From GingerBread to HoneyComb to ICS, every app works.
However, these same apps no longer works in JellyBean and showns as "incompatible". So does anyone know what major OS feature in JellyBean that requires these non-system app to not work?
From the top of my head, there are at least two things that can make an app incompatible with Jelly Bean:
1) JB has a new permission for accessing the SD Card. By default, enforcing this is turned off, but it might be turned on in your device. (unlikely)
2) There is no Flash support in JB. Apps that use Flash will not work.
But really, this question probably belongs in the general Android apps forum, not the Nexus 7 forum.

No. 1 is the primary reason I believe. My apps does not use Flash, it just a bunch of Office apps, Financial apps, etc.
MOD --> Can you please move this to the "Android Q&A" forums?
