Looked around quite a bit and did not see any posts similar to this. I'm blind or there really isnt any. Is there a way to get Verizon only apps to work on some of these ROMs based on phones from other networks for the Inc? For example, i installed the "shooter rewind" sense 3 ROM and when i tried to install the Skype mobile for verizon it won't give me the option to download from the market. I also tied to recover it through Titanium, but when i ran it, it told me it only works on verizon phones and closed itself. Any workaround or do need to find the apk for the app from the phone the ROM is based on? Thanks to anyone that can help.

I would imagine that it's being worked on or that we don't currently have the API. Considering Verizon doesn't have a device that currently runs Sense 3.0 stock. The only phones that run Sense 3.0 stock are the HTC Evo 3D and the HTC Sensation. Those are on Sprint and T-Mobile respectively.
So I used Zumocast on my Droid 3, was nice. Could it (now called Motocast) be ported to the N3xus? Or would an older version work (before it was integrated into Blur... and was still being called Zumocast) ?
topic was brought up before, no responses :x
I was able to use an older version of Zumocast with a Galaxy S2 so I assume it would work with the Nexus. I actually use Plex...works pretty good if all you need is access to media.
Finally it's out on the Android Market!! ...

Well the article states "Sky Go for Android is now available on Android Market for a "selection of the popular handsets including HTC Desire S and Samsung Galaxy S2, covering the majority of Android users"."
Also, if you have managed to find it on the android market via your phone it usually indicates that the app is compatible with your device. I have noticed that as I switch between firmwares on my phone certain apps appear and disappear on the market due to compatibility issues.
So I'm not sure why you're gettin that message. Unfortanately I'm at work and without a wifi connection or a decent mobile data connection, so I can't really test it for myself
About bloody time I've been wasting my Orange Swappable on Sky TV packages but now can change them to something else now SKY Go
EDIT: I've not tested yet as I'm in a rush to make meeting how is it on Ginger bread and Friend just told me it does not work on rooted devices please Tell me its not true :-( also a problem with ICS
Yip its not showing as compatibile on mine. Phone must not be rooted. 2 years since iOS got theirs and now after the wait the rumor was true about rooting.
Hopefully the devs can do their work
And in Italy?

Doesn't work on rooted or ics phones. Thanks sky:-(
Sky are so pants!!
GREAT!!! I also get the "Sorry, Sky Go is not currently supported on this device" message, because I am on ICS.
And it looks like that rooted devices will NEVER be supported by the app.
Sky are so pants!!
Snipets taken from the FAQs section of the App:
Minimum Software Requirements:
"You must have OS versions 2.2 or 2.3 installed on your mobile device and have continuous Wi-Fi or 3G coverage to watch content on Sky Go."
"Sky Go is currently supported on the following Android smartphones and their operating systems HTC Desire, HTC Desire S, HTC Desire HD, HTC Incredible, HTC Sensation, Samsung Galaxy S, Samsung Galaxy S II."
"In order to ensure that our rights' contracts are fully upheld we are also unable to support any Android devices that have been rooted"

I'm sure someone will manage to enable it on rooted devices, obviously its a lot easier said than done but surely its just a matter of working out how the app actually knows you're rooted and changing the code accordingly.
This long wait and hardly any versions are supported
rooted users can you give this a go to see if it works on Rooted devices doing what this guy says in the thread on Sky

Yeah a work around is inevitable. What I meant was that the app will never officially support rooted devices as it would infringe on sky's rights' contracts.
More worried about it not working on ics. Sure somebody will find a way to unlock it for rooted devices but not sure about ics.

They should release an update soon making it compatible with ICS. I'm assuming that seeing as there actually aren't that many ICS devices around at the moment and that most ppl are still on Ginger Bread, they decided to concentrate on GB and release that version first to satisfy the majority and then work on an update to satisfy the rest.
I'm a new owner of an HTC One X and I really like the new device but have a couple of questions.
I have an unlocked HTC One X (I think its an Asian version) using it on ATT
Software update: currently im on version 1.26.708.2 and ive read that there is a new version put out. Ive tried doing the software update on my device but it tells me there is no new update. Do I need to connect the phone to my PC and update that way?
Keyboard: I hate the arrow keys at the bottom of the screen during messaging and emails. Ive tired editing the keyboard but I cant find the option to remove the arrows...
Sorry if these are noob questions but im Noob to android and a super noob to HTC Sense.
Try 3rd program keyboard like smart keyboard pro or Swiftkey X
yea I was gonna do that next, I kinda like the ICS keyboard but just didnt like the arrows...
Any information on my software version? Is there something I missing to download the latest software?
my partner has aquired a Note 8.0 n5120 and she loves it... I have rooted it and flashed cwm recovery and so far all is working well.
but she wants a newer Android version... So my question is simple what do I do next? Whats the best way to proceed etc and do all roms have 4g function as she wants to keep it?
Looking forward to yor replies

You won't find one bug free. I suggest installing the ported Neo S3 UI and Tab4 TouchWiz. They are cleaner and have better look and hidden options.
I also edited my system.db file and my settings list to tab list.
You can look for Tab4 keyboard and use Xposed with Wanam xposed to tweak and customize the tablet.
If battery life Is a problem... you can try my mod using disable service. It will add up to 4 hrs more battery time and make the tablet smoother.
For myself I am happy with 4.4.2 and see no benefit going to any other android version. Though i use my tablet as a tool not a do everything device like a phone. Meaning it don't sync with Google, yet you can sync with Samsung. If you do use Google apps, they are not as connected, so things are controlled by the user not what google does in background.
