New free game in Samsung Apps: Krazy Kart Racing!

Nice! Samsung just gave us a new free game! Sadly, it's another racing game. But judging from a quick ride, at least it's not bad.
Go and grab it while it's there! Maybe it was released for free by accident? Someone already made a video:

Faaaarrrrr better optimised than Gameloft's Asphalt bull****, very fun game

Just open Samsung Apps in the menu and check the list, had to scroll down to the last item.

yeah i found that out this morning when i woke up
installed it during breakfast
for a full list of freebies samsung apps check here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=765081

Installed and played it a little bit. Looks much smoother then asphalt. Graphics are not so incredible but this game makes a lot of fun. Like it that they offer some free games like this one and asphalt on samsung appstore. Hope to see more in future there.

Asphalt 5 (free) is not as good as Asphalt 5 HD (paid)
the HD version is much much much better, and it offers head to head online play

Thank's, it's very fanny

Fanny eh? Haha!
Will try it out when I get home on wifi.

Thanks for the tip.
Nice to see some love coming from the Samsung camp. All we need now is patience for Froyo.

Same! I'm pretty sure it's cause of our firmware. I wanna know if we can fool samsung apps to giving us the rest of the apps... I've tried modifying build.prop etc but nothings helped so far. maybe we just need to install an older version of the app store?

A nice surprise. I'm loving it.

Umm which part exactly? We'd really appreciate knowing
I'm not experienced here, and I tried modifying some parts of build.prop to reflect a 2.1 build.prop and got stuck in a boot loop! Fortunately I had a backup build.prop and used adb push to fix it xD.
Otherwise, someone dump and share the apk please?

Applications not showing in the market

Just got my SGS @ and love everything, except a bunch of apps dont show in the market. eg. asphalt 6
Anyone got a fix for this yet?
Thanks

Just change your build.prop. There is likely a reason why apps don't show up for the SGS2.

whats easiest way of doing that? just push it via adb?

Then I would like to know what to change

Same I don't want to mess it up!

rooted and tried all the different market fixes, non of them work, #
im on tmo in the uk, i dont see why any apps shouldnt show!! its ridiculous...
any help???

google for "MarketEnabler". That should work!

Would this really help?
When I checked the apps I bought in market.android.com the SGS2 was shown but a tooltip said that the apps was not compatible with my device. I checked other apps, e.g. Astro File Manager Pro (free seems to be ok), Wolfram Alpha, same result: not compatible with SGS2.

what about applanet ??? will it work or the apps are not configured for SGS2 ???
anyone tried applanet on SGS2 pls confirm it...

Hulu plus for us :-)

With the help of another xda member. (Halfcalf) we now have hulu plus for our phone. All you need to do is place the extracted files from the zip I will upload into your titanium backup folder then restore the app. All three files must be in the titanium backup folder. Not just one big folder. It took me a few tries but it works. I'll answer questions as your post.

just a note, you only need the files in Hulu Plus Tit Backup Files.zip - no need to download/install the .apk separately as it's contained in the archive. Unzip/extract to /sdcard/Titanium Backup/ and restore, worked perfectly the first time (CM7 nightly 2011-7-23).

Ok thanks I posted both just in case. I didn't know. I don't normally use titanium. So it worked for you?

Worked great here. I think the picture beats Netflix streaming. Not a plus subscriber so my test video is limited but looks and sounds awesome!

When I launch it, it tells me that my device isn't supported. It won't let me launch any videos either. Was I only suppose to restore the app, and not app+data?

someone else (op) got me the files and i read someone else tried this a few days ago..i just harassed enough people till they gave me the files..ive been working on this for like 2 weeks..i finally got the apk 3 days ago and halfcalf was willing to give me the files. im not the best with android yet, but i will still fight to get us stuff.
you have no idea have many times i would explain i had an unsupported phone and ask for the apk and i would get the response "its in the market go download it" this is from people who knew about root too.. lol

You can download all market apps on your computer or through the web browser.

[Q] Xperia play build prop issues

I noticed that the market doesn't let download apps like NFL mobile. NHL mobile, face book and other apps. I know that devs may just not want ot make their apps for my phone but I already had Facebook on my phone back in October 2011. The market wasn't letting facebook update and after I uninstalled it I couldn't get it back. The same with xda premium app and cyanide and happiness apps. I paid for both and now I can't re-install them!?

Did you change your DPI in build.prop?

No I have't touched the build prop since I bought it.

I think you've done something to yours that's causing this issue. Facebook should be able to download for any android device. What mods have you done?

The only mod I've done is this tweak

and obviously zerg rush rooted.

I saw another thread from.another xperia play user and he/her said the zerg rush itself changed thr phones lcd density.
I looked and your right my lcd density has been changed. If astro file manager cant save changes to it. Is yhere a way I can change it without a pc?

You can edit it with a root file manager. Root Toolbox also has a build.prop editor, I'd recommend you use that.

I'm SOO glad I bought that app when I could and backed it up.

"Must haves" on your newly rooted xt907

Hi guys I opened this thread up to share some of my top favorite rooted applications. Many experienced users will know what most of these are but some may be new, and of course this is a great place to begin for inexperienced root users. I'm not going to go into crazy detail about all of them but I'm hoping that others will post, comment, and share their findings as well. Take a look.
Avast! - advanced mobile security that gives you virus scan, theft protection, firewall, text/call block, and more!
Adfree- self explanatory. One of the best ad blockers for your browser in the market.
Airdroid- this is my personal favorite. Simply run the app, follow the quick instructions and BOOM you are managing all your own files from your phone both internal and external on your regular desktop computers or laptops. Its super easy to use and a must have.
Cachemate- clears cache with a click of a button.
My backup (root edition) - serves just like titanium backup. Easily backup your apks and data or just apks alone. Also includes photos/videos/music. Reason why I prefer this is because I used to use titanium mainly for freezing and backing up but ics/jb both have the "disable" option now.
Quickboot- quickly boot into recovery/reboot/power off
Root browser- arguably the best file explorer/manager out there. Pretty fast r/w speeds.
Root call blocker- not only can you manually enter the numbers you want blocked but this is one of the first apps I found where your phone won't even ring whatsoever.
SD booster- boost SD card speed. Don't know too much about it but was told from a friend to set the speed to 2048kb for optimization.
Terminal emulator- the "command prompt" of android.
Undelete- ever accidently delete a file and get really mad? Simply run this app and snatch it back!
Voodoo ota- copies your superuser binaries and allows you to keep root after an ota update (going to come in handy once the official jb comes through )
Hope you guys enjoy these apps. Obviously not responsible for anything that these do to your device. Please comment and also share your findings ! Thank you

I am using Grrenify and Seeder. From "hacktools" Faceniff and wi-fi kill.

greenify is great.
my recommendations are Android Firewall, Root Explorer, and Titanium Backup.
Android Firewall is great in that it blocks internet (WiFi/mobile data/both) to apps that you specify. this is great for blocking ads for those that want to play games that do not require a data connection.

As this thread is about root apps I thought I'd ask here rather then start a new thread.... has anyone found a screen recorder that actually works on the M? I've tried SRC and screencast with no luck...even a method that requires me to connect it to the PC would be great....
