When I try to access Smart World on my 870DS I get a message saying either Smart World is only available on LG devices, or I'm trying to access Smart World from a country which isn't supported.
I have a UK LG account and I'm thinking this may have something to do with it. If so, is there some way to get around this region locking?
I'll be interested to know that too. can't access some of the contents due to region.
Can you access some of the features?

Anyone know why paid apps on Andriod Market are locked on Optus..??
My contract is up with them end of this month, thinking about jumping over to Vodafone..
Is there anyway to bypass this lock out?
optus block it so people are forced to use their own crappy market.
use market enabler if your phone is rooted, or put another carrier sim card in to download the paid apps..
there is a huge thread about it on whirlpool
I was using Market Spoof, I found it more convenient, just click the widget on or off when you want to use the apps store. I got fed up with optus and changed to vodafone mainly because of this.
I am in Kuwait and not able to get to the paid apps either.. Where do i download this market spoof or market enabler from?? Thanks!

How to get this on my N1?
Do I access this link via the browser, or do I need to have paid access to the Android Marketplace?
I tried via the browser but it comes up saying the website is temporarily down.....
Help!
I'm new to Android and I am wondering if you all plan to put some sort of antivirus program on your Xoom? Is this needed? If so, which programs are the best?
Thanks!

Don't think there are any viruses for Android.

Yes there are Viruses on Android. Most recently they were able to penetrate the actual Google marketplace. Before that most were found on third party sites which are not recommended to get apps from anyways. Most people dont use an anti virus but I believe this will change unless Google does something to prevent any other viruses from entering the market.
Lookout is a antivirus app that can found in the market. It is from a reputable company in the US. The app will scan your apps and compare to a database of known threats(free version is sufficient). While before the recent events I didnt worry about it either I now use Lookout. Something is better than nothing. But the best defense is common sense. Dont download from third party sites and always check the permissions an app is requesting before installing. A wallpaper app doesnt need access to every part of your phone. If it is asking for excessive permissions try to find another app that completes the same task with less permissions. Hope this helped.
I use lookout on my xoom. It just doesn't do the whole locate thing (a great feature) unless you have cellular service (which I do not) because it uses SMS for that feature

Thanks Droidz,
So it sounds like if I am cautious about which apps I download I should be alright. I tend to only download apps that have been downloaded by a large number of people with good reviews. Hopefully that will keep me safe. But I'll try out Lookout too.

As long as you're not downloading shady apps (esp ones from outside of market) you'll be fine. Antivirus is really not necessary.
Greetings,
Question. Is there any way to get around the country restriction in Android Marketplace?
Just installed my first Android ROM on my HD2. Was super excited to hit the marketplace, only to find out that all the good apps are restricted in my country (UAE) can't even get Angry Birds FFS!
Thanks in advance...

Hi,
Are you able to go to Android Market on your laptop/PC?
Is the app 'Market Enabler' available in the UAE?
If so, you could install it and fake a different market region.
Market enabler doesn't always work. hasn't ever worked for me :/
Here are some workarounds:
some sites offer direct app downloads, angry birds for example is available on Opera app store, that's how I got it, you can download opera mobile to your PC and install it on the device, then use opera to enter their app store. a lot of apps there are free.
There are plenty of other sites offering free downloads as well.
Another solution (which is a bit hard) is installing the Android SDK and run android on your PC, and use a proxy to download apps to your PC then copy them to your phone. I heard it worked but haven't tried it myself.
Hi all,

If you can't find it on the market, you can always use google for off-market versions.
De4Ler,
Can I hijack this thread? or should I make a new one?
Is it possible to access market from a forbidden country?; Im currently in a vacation in Sudan (which market is not supported there) and VPN is not working either.

no no, this is not my problem. I was in Saudi Arabia (which has the free market supported) and I was able to get paid apps using market access.
But in Sudan, whenever I launch the Market it just loads the loading screen for a few seconds then closes without any error or a message. when I try to install apps using the website, it says "sorry, this application is not available from your country" for all apps. When I did a little research on that it turned out that Google has forbidden access to the market (or should I say most of its services; I get "error 403" whenever I try to access Google's features)

Check your maturity settings, press the menu and make sure all the boxes are checked maps should be there without using the enabler

I know, but it is a PITA finding all the apps I want on the interweb and I'm not always near my computer, furthermore I want to upgrade my current apps and install others I couldn't find on the internet.
I've tried using VPN on HyperDroid, it connects successfully however I seem to not be getting any connectivity. I will try to look further in it. Thank you all for your suggestions.
Hi
After i install the market enabled, that means i can download paid apps for free??
I was wondering if this was possible. I just need to run an app on VR mode. That is my main requirement, to use PS4 remote play by twisted89 on VR mode to enjoy PS4 games on VR. So if a specific app cannot be turned into vr mode why not the whole device screen? Is that also not possible? I already found an app called Trinus VR, but it requires a PC, so I want this to work only with the mobile itself. Any help would be greatly appreciated

that i think is impossible. since trinus was made for pc mirroring. sorry
I think what his trying to say is and correct me if I'm wrong but, he wants an app that turns any other app into a split-view vr style outcome even if pseudo, which in turn he then wants to run (after activating the previous app that turns stuff into vr mode) the remote play app to play his ps4 games in pseudo vr mode.
I think if an app like this was developed it would need root access to allow cross app vr displayed split-view, as i think it will make the whole display split-view which in turn will make all apps "vr". Not sure if there will be stutter problems on the default launcher but that's easily overcomeable using a vr launcher i assume or just coding it to be disabled on popular launchers.
I know for a fact that the Lenovo K5 does this with stock rom, so... it's possible. Maybe you can buy one?

Exactly what I meant and you just read my mind man, I am trying to play PS4 in VR via the remote play. The best option I came up with so far was Trinus VR, but I want to do this by my phone alone with the remote play app by twisted89.
And yeah, yeah, what all this guy said was what I meant, I need an app to turn on entire mobile screen into VR mode or just the one app I need, thank-you guys :laugh:
Reply please

Search for the SBS apk
It is not possible to turn the screen into SBS mode (side by side). Only thing that exists is native SBS that works on versions 4.4.2 and bellow or some versions of Cm13 with Android 6.0.1.
It will not work on any stock Rom.
I have looked everywhere. Tried everything.
There are apps that can play vr videos and allow sbs web browsing on non vr/cardboard compatible phones.
For videos: VRTV VR is pretty good.
For web browsing: NoMone VR
For anything else, Trinus via pc would be the only option.
Install an emulator on your pc. Install Android on it. Then the apk you want. Mirror your pc to your Android phone. Use VR
A difficult issue, though. As far as I found, those are the basic requirements for playing VR stuff:
2GB + Ram
1080p to 2K Screen resolution
1.4GHz+ CPU speed
Gyroscope (in some cases - not)
At least 4.7 inch display
16M+ colors
Those are basic requirements to play some basic apps. In order to have better FPS performance you will need some more advanced hardware.
Also, if you are interested in VR software development - check my article about best VR/AR SDK which you will need to create apps.
P.S. Found this answer on Quora
Any change?
I used to have a Lenovo ph, and never realized how fortunate I was to have instant vr at the click of a button. For the whole system.! Now I am stuck trying to use cardboard crap app which does a tenth of what I want..
Even just streaming on a browser I'm finding difficult.
I want full screen split no movement. Or anything like a standard split screen on device.
Anyone had any luck?
