tricking market - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

i want to download adobe photoshop touch. i have a galaxy nexus and nexus 7. i want the app for the nexus 7 but it says its not compatible. but ive read that you can extract the apk and it runs fine on the nexus 7. is there a way to trick the market on either device to think im like a transformer prime or samsung 10.1 tablet so that i can download the app and extract it to my nexus 7?

Use AppMonster to backup the app, pull the apk from the AppMonster folder, transfer and install on Nexus7

the problem is i use to have the samusng galaxy tab which wass compatible. but now i dont so i dont have any devices i can just directly download it. so i need to download it first by tricking market

You could try it by using an tablet-mode ROM or so... but I've never done that myself, so it's just a suggestion...

Flash Player APK (UPDATED)

Adobe has stopped allowing downloads for Flash Player on all devices running Jelly Bean, including the Nexus 7. This APK has been tested and works great on the Nexus 7 so far with 4.2.1.
APK File: install_flash_player_ics (1).apk - 4.49 MB
Awesome. Thanks.

couple questions...
1. so will this allow flash to be used on chrome?
1a. if it doesnt work with chrome, what's the benefit of a standalone apk versus getting a browser that can use flash?
2. do you have to be rooted for this to work?
thanks!

1. No, chrome does not support flash.
2. You need the flash apk to be able to use flash in a browser that supports flash I.e. dolphin browser
3. No, you do not. Just make sure you go to setting, security, and click the unknown sources check box before you try to install the app.

You can't download it straight to your tablet. You have to extract it on a computer then transfer it to your Nexus.

Theres no default file browser installed so get something like Astro:
These are the instructions I followed, can't remember if I used the APK linked on that site or not, so to be safe use the one linked above.
PS : This five minute spam rule is annoying. (but can see why its here).
i installed the flash apk but when i try to view a flash movie it crashes the browser (opera mini, maxthon, and dolphin hd)
thanks works awesome on my nexus 7 and on my galaxy nexus
top notch
This worked great! Thank you

Thanks for the apk. You can download it straight to your tablet if it was not gziped and just install it with a file manager... On another note, I didn't really see the point of putting it back on my tablet after downloading it to my PC since I already had the sdk installed.
Code:
adb install -r com.adobe.flashplayer-3f0d57a34bf0204acb2f9b310aa37ac7.apk
did the trick and installed it just fine for me..
Worked like it should!

Thanks, OP!
Now if we could get a working AOSP Browser for the N7 because I'm not too fond of Dolphin and the other 3rd party browsers.

If you are using Dolphin as a Flash solution Do Not update to 8.6 which just came out. It completely removes the ability to use Flash for Jelly Bean even if you have it side loaded. It gives a message that they will no longer be supporting it for Android 4.1+

Not sure but I would think since it is a system app use root explorer to place in system/apps and change permissions

I'm good at flashing zips, but when it comes to this I could use some specific instructions. What permissions do I use? Do I need to uninstall the old calendar first, or run them side by side?

I would rename your current calender to .bak instead of .apk so you still have it. Then using root explorer move this apk to system/apps the long press it. Click change permissions and I believe they should be set to rw/r/r. Good luck!

It's pretty simple. However this process still did not work on my rooted SGSII. But for future reference of these types of system files here ya go.
- Use Root Explorer to place the file in the System/App folder in the directory
- If the new file is a different name then you can easily just place it in that folder ( of course you have to change Root Explorer to R/O mode instead of R/W mode ) - ( if its the same name then just rename the old file to something you can remember )
- Permissions for most apps would be RW, R, R. Just click on the file and select "Permissions". After you do that you do need to re-boot the device to save the settings.
Note: I did try this with this calendar and it did not work. We actually need a SSGSIII Calendar ported to work on an SGII. I am not smart enough to make that happen. Although I would like to be able to do such things someday. Hope this helps at least for future reference.
I'm pledging $10 towards the Dev who can get the S-Calendar ported yo the T-Mobile SGS-2. Maybe more if it is done by Monday. I know it's not a lot, but it's what I can give.

Sorry to bump an old thread, but this seemed like the most relevant place to post.
I recently put CarbonROM on my phone and, after playing around with it for a bit, realize I absolutely hate the google calendar and just want my old calendar back. I downloaded the apk provided in this thread and attempted to install it but it says I already have the app. Sure enough, if I go to Settings > Apps, it shows up as Calendar Storage, but there is no icon anywhere, such as in my app drawer, that allows me to load the program. I even tried using QuickShortcutMaker, but it can't find the calendar anywhere in the list of apps to make a shortcut. Does anybody know what I can do?
Same situation here with carbon Rom.
Anyone know how to get it working?

I am not sure, but it would seem, S Planer doesn't work on any other ROM than the Samsung Official ROM.
I don't know why... I've testing a lot of possibilities (replace the original AOKP's apk by the Samsung's apk, do a wipe Dalvik, wipe cache, modify the permissions...), a lot of apk (recovered here, recovered on an original v4.1.2 samsung's ROM, recovered on the testing v4.2.2 Samsung ROM...), and it never work on my CyanoGen Mod 10.1...
It isn't an incompatibility with an other home than TouchWiz because I've never use this home with my previous Samsung's ROM and S Planer working correctly...
I will continue to looking to do working S Planer with an other ROM, but I have little hope... :crying:

Looking for Google New and Weather apk

Can anyone supply the apk for Google News and Weather app/widget? I use it on my phone and love it but I can't find it in the Play Store. Could I pull it off my phone and then side load it on my N7?

Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
Here's how i installed it without flashing any gapps pack (however, will need root). Works perfectly and very easy:
- copy the geniewidget.apk (actual name for the news and weather app) from my gnex (from system/app) and saved it to a folder
- uploaded to drop box (because it didn't allow me to BT transfer for some reason)
- downloaded onto N7 (don't try to install it, won't work), moved apk to system/app (using es explorer)
- changed permissions (user=read and write, other two only read)
- reboot and enjoy

I tried this with mixed results.
When it came to moving the genie.apk into system/app on my nexus 7 it wouldn't let me move the file. I tried 2 different file managers with the same results. Was not able to move the file at all. So after a few minutes of faffing around I just tried to install the app where is was (sd card/). It worked and installed fine for me but the widget is now has a transparent background. So only the white text and the weather can be seen. If anything it actually looks better than the normal black background. But it's still interesting why I was not able to move the app.
Anyone with anything similar?
i like google news, but this app for tablet is not very good, so i want to know if anyone can polish it to suit tablet?
Or does google will make a change in the future ?

S Memo for T989

I'm using Jedi Knight V2 right now and absolutely loving it.
At first I had a few issues with it because it wasn't smooth and apps froze once in a while and I had to reboot it often. I guess that after a day of headaches it just settled down and I'm a happy man now. Thanks PTMR3 :good:
Anyway I would like to know if anyone knows where I can find and download S MEMO for my Galaxy S2. I love that app but it seems that it was only built for the S3...
Any thoughts about this?
Anyone?

Yes it's the regular one. I wanted SMemo from the Samsung Note but because of the port it doesn't work. A Dev needs to work with it and then we can all be happy.
By the way, I uninstalled this version and went back to color note

I tried just instaling it like I would a normal apk but that didn't work so I'm guessing I'm missing something.

Installing it by the normal 'click to install' method will not always work for a system dependent app.
You can install the app via ADB while your phone is connected the computer. Using the ADB method, just type adb push name.apk system/app.
(ADB pull will do the reverse if you'd like to transfer a file to your computer).
or you can use a root capable file manager (i.e. Root Explorer, ES File Explorer, Root Browser, etc...) and just copy and paste the .apk file from your SD card to the system/app folder.
Cheers!
