[Q] Installing samsung app store - Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Just a weird question, please bear with it
will it be possible to install/flash Samsung App store into other developer firmware
such as ours?
Will it have any problem or will it work?
Thanks!

It will most prob require the samsung framework. Just like the ps store requires sonys

In other words, not going to happen.

its worth to try, but would it crash the whole firmware?

No, the worst which can happen is that the app won't work (a highly probable scenario by the way). This is not Windows 95 anymore, operative systems are sandboxed in order to improve their stability, and installing a particular software won't kill the phone.

Just try it

[Q] device not compatible with certain apps in market [SOLVED]

I've seen that certain apps in the market say that my device is not compatible with the app. I didn't really think twice about it until today I saw that Google maps is one of those apps. This wasn't the case earlier today.
Has anyone else been having this problem?
What do you think the problem is?

Solved - Reason for issue was due to my changing the DPI for enhanced resolution
I'd like some sort of answer to that too, my phone says that maps is compatible, but Youtube isn't. I tried clearing market data and cache on the off chance that something was goofy there, but it didn't help. It even says "incompatible" when I go to the web version of the market from my computer, and won't let me install.

K, i figured out the problem. Its because i changed the DPI in my build.prop in order to get a better resolution. I guess the apps are compatible with the resolution that i set it to, so it just says that its not compatible with my device.

Some different variables i have for you that might be causing it....
1.Kernel.
2.Rom
3.The way you flashed it Clean/dirty
4.What device he has
5.if he/she fiddles around and has custom roms installed too then those variables above could be effecting their transfer of nfc
Hoped i helped buddy

so it has to do with my phone
Try installing NFC Task Manager or another free NFC app from the Play Store. Sounds like your phone is looking for an app and can't find it, so it is deferring you to the market.

[Q] [Rogers] CIBC Mobile Payment App

Hey all, I have a Rogers NFC Sim for my S3 running the latest CM 10.1 nightly. I was looking to use the CIBC Mobile Payment App available in the Play Store here. Of course it won't appear in the Store on my device because the device identifies itself differently than a stock Rogers S3, so I grabbed the APK from here, however the app simply won't install when I open it from my file explorer.
How can I forcibly install this app? My hardware is compatible with this app so this should just be a question of using some magic to trick the APK into installing.

There's no way it HAS to be unless there is some specific dependency on TouchWiz. Whether or not it's easy or recommended is difference.

It's a good thing I'm not asking CIBC for support then.

I'm trying yet again to get mobile payment working on my phone as well.
I'm simply astonished that nobody has ever found an actual way to hide rooting on a phone. I'm not a developer, but really, how hard could it possibly be? if we have root we should be able to do ANYTHING to trick an app that doesn't have root in to not knowing root is there. why hasn't anyone come up with a sandbox for these stupid apps yet???
(and don't show me links to any of the dozens of "root hiding" apps, I've never found a single app that checks for root that is fooled by any of these.)
anyone figured out a workaround yet?
Stopped being an issue ages ago for me (this thread is 3 years old). The CIBC app now works happily on many more devices, including rooted ones.

[Q] Permissions management & protection

Hi
I've tried and looked for several apps to manage the app permissions: LBESM, Pdroid, XPrivacy and so on...
Some apps don't work correctly and others aren't compatible with AOSP 4.2.2.
I'd like to have your point of view to have trust app to manager the permissions and if possible (or another app) to identify possible malwares.
Atm the better one for Permissions mangement is "Permissions Management" available in my Rom and BitDefender Mobile Security for malwares.
Thanks.
PS: I know that several topics already deal with this subject but I'd like to discuss with fresh information and compatible (AOSP 4.2.2 + Note II).
I would recommend you to use ROM toolbox.
it has inbuilt auto start manager which helps you to manage permissions efficiently.
Thanks, I'll have a look soon.
What is the exact option?
Edit
I found it.
Other ideas ?

We just don't get it. Old Xperia L could play it, but the S3 get's no love on the game for some reason,.
Its an issue with 4.3 on the S3 and I don't know why they haven't been able to fix it. I did get it to run a while back but had to install an older version that I knew worked because I used to run it
Yeah the older versions worked perfectly but the new one is not.

You'll probably just have to wait for a bug fix update then.

This new versions been out for a while. I dont think theyre doing a bug fix.
Ps: does anyone know how to disable the update notification in the old versions. i cant play with data/wifi on because it keep bugging me to update to the new version. it takes me to the market and as you know its "incompetible"
If enough people email the dev it might motivate them to fix it. Especially if everyone starts demanding refunds and leaving poor reviews. No guarantee of course, but its more guaranteed that nothing will happen if no one tries to make it happen!
In app manager most apps have a checkbox for display notifications. Maybe that'll help?

And about the updates I just disabled WiFi and data was off so no update nag lol but you can try app ops and see if you can deny internet access to it

Its a notification that shows when you open the app, and if you don't update it you can't play it
Well that's pretty lame!

Try apps ops from playstore/xposed or app settings in xposed to revoke internet permission

I have found a solution. I was browsing Samsung's galaxy app store and saw asphalt 8 being featured so I was like what the hay, so I installed it and it runs perfectly! Maybe they forgot to unblock the S3 from when it was having problems at Google play? Anyways give it a try!
