Market alternative

Hello everyone, I'm happy to say that I'm hosting a 'market' specifically for Sprint Hero root users. If anyone is interested in this, you can install it on your phone in a few steps.
First, download the market program and install it on your phone. It's at http://app2.bikcmp.com:4121/dl/Aptoide.apk
Once you install it, launch it and press no to add their default repository. Then, press menu>Manage repo>menu>New repository. The url to the repository should be EXACTLY:
http://app2.bikcmp.com:4121/repo/files/
After that, go back and you should be able to see the applications. If you're a developer and have a application you'd like to add, or have a question, feel free to email me: [email protected].
Yes, I know there aren't many applications in it right now.
Jason

Oops, my mistake. It's app2, not apps2.

Is there a way to see what's availible in your market from the computer?

Depends: A pretty way? No. A basic way? Yes.
http://app2.bikcmp.com/repo/files/ has a directory listing of the apk's, and you can download them from there too.

Where did you get it from? Password is likely embedded in the app, meaning we could read it out

Same thing for me, i didnt download it as it said on it "shop Display use only - Not for Users" which i found quite odd as it is appears to me as an update mean it must be on my phone somewhere.
My phone came from phonesforyou uk, don't know if that has anything to do with it.
Crucio

It was showing up on my O2 PAYG handset as well.... well, it was until I changed the firmware and CSC
Did you get iPlayer pre-installed as well?

yeah it came with the iplayer on it and thats one of them apps it wont let me remove, still havent rooted yet, downloading the firmware samfirmware.com atm to flash that first.

If you really want it, please get the APK and post it. I'll then look for the password

Hope this works http://db.tt/h9tWqov

Also how do you update the firmware on this particular phone?

So I am new to android, how did you open the files and read the password out? Are there some special tools or did you do it with the SDK?

I used apktool to decompile it into smali, then read the smali in notepad2.

Can you let me known which firmware you used. I've installed the tar for the KDD build in the PDA tab with Odin. I got the file from hotfile via samfirmware. It got rid of the o2 splashscreen and o2 wallpaper. I've unlocked it. So it is pretty much 100% clean.
I didn't load up anything in the CSC tab. Which CSC file did you load? Cheers.

Hello, i'm newbie here, i also bought a demo version of samsung galaxy note 10.1 N8010, and there is also retail mode app inside, but i cannot remove it, although i have restore to factory reset...any suggestion ?
thanks before..

Huawei Hi Suite

Hello everybody,i found this very useful official application from Huawei that lets you sync your phone contacts,sms,applications and music.
It also takes screenshots from the device and lets you send sms and play phone's music from your pc.
You can also make a backup and restore!
Here it is http://www.huaweidevice.com/resource/mini/201105239635/hi_suite_en/index.html

You can also connect via wifi.

installed Hi Suite and synchronised my contacts from outlook 2007 to my smartphone. Everything worked fine (except 1 of the 318 contacts failed), but I cannot find my contacts on my smartphone. Any ideas?

Can someone upload it to somewhere? I click the download button from the site and it says Error 500:

Download all the updates from apkmirror.. doesn't work in Belgium

I can upload apk files if needed, I'm in USA but was also part of the beta test program so my voice service worked for a while now, as far as custom Rom I'm pretty sure it needs to be touchwiz Rom to work I don't think it'll work in aosp type

If you can upload APK files that would be awesome !

Uploading to my drive now ill send links in few min when finished, should be 8 apk files

Does anybody know if changing the device's locale to the USA will fool Bixby to enable it to work?

Sent you pm with links and code of needed don't think you'll need code since I sent link to each of the 8 apk files. Let me know if you have an issue

As far as I'm aware bixby voice is a server side upgrade. At least int he beta it was. I'm not sure simply installing the apps works. In the end it's processed on Samsung's servers...

I have downloaded all the new apps from apk mirror.
But it did no work.
I am from Romania.
Is there any other way?
:fingers-crossed:

Links for the apk would be very much appreciated as well! Thanks! Any chance we can vpn so phone thinks we are in the US then get the update?

I think the update is for the sm-g950U only :crying:

VPN is irrelevant IMHO. Afaik Samsung goes by your Samsung account. My Samsung account is registered to Germany and can't be changed. I don't think geographic location is relevant for the update.
Some people in beta had success with creating a new Samsung account with VPN, changing the location of the new account to US. But nothing you could change in an existing account...

Only the US released phone's are now using Bixby.. has something to do with the csc as well. I hope that we have the option later on to use it in the English language
