HERO21 Community (version 1.8) GSM
by Lox & Behnaam
Current release: 1.8 [Download]

The only reason I'm not using this rom is that no protected/paid apps show in the Market.
When I rolled back to a Modaco 3.0 for some reason (maybe Googles copy protection) I can not even use apps that I have paid for.
The only way I can see protected/paid apps in the Market is to change my Google account but then I would have to buy the apps again.
hope this gets sorted soon.

The Clock doesnt Work in this Version. Maybe its because I set the locate to German but no idea it just keeps crashing everytime.

I can see protected and paid apps by the looks of things.

In the BUG list it shows protected and paid apps missing from the market. BTW have you ever paid for an app? It seems that its only stopping peeps who have paid for apps.

I've paid for apps (Better keyboard and camera zoom pro), but paid apps (as well as ones I've bought before) still appear in the market

The problem is with copy protected apps. Non-CPed paid apps will show up, but apps with copy protection is hidden due to some filtering sh*t in the Market.

Let me know of an app you can't find in the market and I will see whether its missing from mine.

It's there in MoDaCo 2.9. So I guess we will have to wait for HTC to get copy protected apps.

I think you'll find that most of the Hero developers (modaco, lox, benhaaam, tekno) are only releasing to other sites now (htcpedia, modaco, etc), what you're seeing on xda-dev is mostly second hand information, and when the information finally does get here it relies on a back link back to these forums for a download.

what if a fully working 2.1 shows up in that site which needs login? still wont u login to try it? LOL
Pretty simpel, i just won't register, i try several ROMS if i had to register for every dev that brings out a ROM (when i was on G1) i think my fingers would die of typing the same over and over If there is a fully working ROM then i will wait till someone uploads it or an other dev who doesn't upload in a registered area and maybe customize it al little
For now only 2/3 things won't work @ the ROM i'm right now, i think it will work fully in this month
A lox al respect for you and deving it's just a fact that i don't like to register to every forum on the planted to get what i want

yeah now i understand. it actually depends how crazy you are about it. like me..i cant wait 1 minute after a rom gets released to try it. and a friend of mine actually doesnt even bother to come to xda. if i flash him a rom myself he will use it or otherwise he wont bother.
just personal choice.

Any fix for the protected apps bug yet? Does everyone who has used Android 2.x loose protected apps?

That is not a bug. Google is filtering the out from Custom ROMs. Read about it here:

Had exactly the same problem coming back to Modaco 3.0 Rom from Lox 2.1 Rom. I found that a reinstall of the rom and a wipe along with Market Enabler allowed me to download my paid apps once again.
EDIT: Market Enabler itself might solve the problem

[APP] Multi-User App Share

I have created an app that will help share apps across users on google's new 4.2 multi user feature.
Thanks to mentose457 and unwired for giving me the idea.
see this thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1994169)
It works by removing package elements from user's package-restriction.xml file to add the app and adding the package element back to remove the app. (located at \data\system\users\10\package-restrictions.xml where 10 is the user's id)
This is quickly thrown together and will likely have a ton of bugs, but I wanted to go ahead and get it out there for testing.
- This is BETA
-You must have ROOT
- This changes system data on non documented files it could screw something up.
- I'm not responsible for any problems this causes or lost data or bricked or broken devices
- please use cation
- it is currently built to run on main user to enable or disable apps on secondary users (once root is fully working on secondary users I will see about making it run correctly on secondary user's account)
- not tested thoroughly with paid apps*
- does not currently support system apps**
- due to the way I pull the app list from the package manager some installed apps may not show as available to add/remove
- apps installed first on a secondary user's profile will probably not show in the list to add/remove
*paid apps seemed to work but I did not have internet access during testing. My theory is that any paid apps that use Google's license verification will not work or not work for long. So adding your Google Account to the secondary user's play store is probably still the best way to share paid apps.
**The entries in the xml for system apps is different. Therefore I will have to research them more before getting it to work or deciding not to mess with those apps. Currently some will show not installed on other users even though they are and removing/adding them will not work correctly.
------> DOWNLOAD HERE https://play.google.com/store/apps/...tm_medium=forum&utm_campaign=app_announcement
I'd love to get feedback to what is working and what is not. Also if anybody figures out anything more about the package-restriction.xml file I'd love to hear it. Especially when it comes to system apps.

Thanks mate added my sons Google account and it is all running perfectly. Seperate saves and account details for apps and allowing me to share my paid ones with him
First review on play store is up.
Will have a mess around with apps and report back but it appears to be running sweet at the moment
Cheers danny...

I wanted to chime in as well. It is working on AOKP. Thanks again jeepguy04.

Looks like it's working for me too :thumbup:

Strange, I'm rooted. Using root apps such as cache mate, titanium & sixaxis.
Multi user app enabler says not rooted.
So does root checker??

On the first 'owner' account I'm rooted, but the second user account doesn't recognize root in apps shared through multi user app.

That is a known issue (if you want to call it that). For me it's not a problem as my second user is a guest just like on my computer.

I know, that's why I quoted the user I meant to answer
It wasn't meant as a negative comment, as I think this app is very useful.

I tried this with ten games and all worked fine (free and paid) except Retro Racing. It works with primary user but crashes with secondary user.

Do you think it is possible to have a shared folder for fotos and musik for multiple users?

some one post the apk my devices are not compatible lol

Great idea! My solution involves just buying everyone their own tablets.

Should work on any tablet running 4.2 (or phone if your custom rom enables the multiple user profiles)

Currently I only have it available in the market to tablets to avoid confusion for people wondering why it doesn't work with their phone. Maybe I will change that since only nexus devices or phones with custom roms are running 4.2. Those users tend to be a little smarter and know if their phone has multiple user profiles or not.
Here is a link to the apk for anybody that can't see it in the market.

The shared folder idea is interesting but beyond the scope of this app. Probably could do it with symlinks or something (not very knowledgeable in linux). Maybe I will look into it and either make another app or find a way to make it fit in with this app.

Yes. Symlinking the photos/music folders outside /data/ should work. But I don't have a 4.2 device(nor willing to set up an emulator) so I'm unsure.

Looking forward to trying on my p5113 CM 10.1

Google Play billing service is for accepting donations via in app purchase. Under settings anybody can donate if they feel the app has value to them... so far I've gotten two $1 donations...lol
network access is for connecting to internet for ads and also for ACRA (Application Crash Report for Android) it basically sends error reports to me to help fix errors. It can be disabled under settings if you do not want it reporting errors.

Does not populate menu on my Nexus 7.

[APP]{ROOT}System Apps Installer

Are U lazy to "push" and app to system and set the permissions? Quite hectic you know. Worry no more because this app will do all the hard work for you: you just have to select the file you want to install and then BAM! Its installed into system partition!
Works gr8 on my One V....NO issues whatsoever

Automatic build tool to launch sideloaded apps

Please test http://atvlauncher.trekgonewild.de
Its beta
The built app launches the desired app and then terminate itself, it needs no permissions.

By 'launcher' you mean a menu-app that starts selected apps from within the default leanback launcher (the 'extra step') or a total replacement of the default launcher?

What i mean is this:

Ah, integrate non compatible (sideloaded) android TV apps in the default launcher, so you can start them right from the home screen. That's useful!

Can you upload that app/ apk so we can play around with it.
Cheers

Well ok but theres not much to test.

You could take a look at the solution I came up with as well.

Nice one!
What about category? APP or GAME... so it will be placed in the proper row...

Yep i know, some features like banner support and category selection are still missing.

Love the concept of the app! Like others have mentioned, would be nice for full banner support. For the time being, I just used APK2TV to add the proper banner. Thanks for your hard work!

Added banner support, please test!

Hi, it seems to have some issues with "_" in package name...
With Choplifter HD the generated app tries to launch "com.inxile.choplifterhd" instead of "com.inxile.Choplifter_HD"
The banner support works fine...
Thanks for your effort

Thx, should be fixed.

Seems that package names are case sensitive.... Choplifter HD still does not launch... "com.inxile.choplifter_hd" instead of "com.inxile.Choplifter_HD"

Youre right, ive fixed it.

It works fine now... thank you

Thanks a lot for the app.
Very useful.

Question Changing fonts for free on ZFold 3

I've always had a rooted phone so always had the option to change fonts for free.
It's there anyway to do this without paying?

I was just looking for fonts last night. Great minds think alike.

my rom has fonts
the samsungsans.apk it contains can be placed in a module and sent to /app - that will give you over 1200 fonts to f### about with

There is an app called zfonts. This will give you all the fonts-1000's - xda, google and so on.
Few steps but the app will guide you through it.
Been using it for at least an year after I stopped rooting phones.

That's great thanks, using it now! It's got ads in it though, I haven't seen an ad in yearrrrrrs! I've always had a system wide ad blocker lol
I don't like the non root ad blockers, using a VPN or DNS etc.
I use Firefox now with an extension but obviously that isn't system wide
