Rom toolbox pro on sale now for $2.99 - Nexus 7 Themes and Apps

Hey guys I just found out today that ROM toolbox pro is on sale for $2.99. If you are on this forum this is a highly recommended app if you don't already have it. Although you have to be rooted to get the most out of it. I'm sure my fellow xda'ers would agree.

Getting a "Your device is not compatible with this version". I've got the lite ver too. Rooted. Weird.

Can't buy it from my phone, N7, or on the web.
Gives some error

Thats very strange, I actually purchased it on my phone with the play store credit, then downloaded it on my nexus 7 a while later just fine. I uninstalled the lite version first and it installed fine. I'm rooted with a flashed kernel (I think morfic's one).

I had the same problem

I just tried buying it on the phone and it worked. The market was still a no go tho. So I copied the apk from the phone to the tablet, installed, and it seems to be fine. The lite version is backed up just in case.

Are all the features, like battery icon, CPU speed changer works for Jelly Bean?

I've got this fixed now. In another thread someone suggested to undo the build.prop edit for tablet mode (back to 213), clear market data and try again. That didn't fix it, but once I also cleared dalvik cache, everything (this and other apps) were available again.

This app could really use some HW acceleration, scrolling through menus is jittery.

It works better with this phone and ICS than it ever has before for me.
Yes and without the lag seen in gb

Did not work for me either. On all previous phones and roms I used the market would automatically start downloading and reinstalling my apps the first time I opened it. This neither happened at first use nor after the complete wipe after I rooted my nexus. Don't know what's up with that. All relevant options are set and checked. That being said the same thing happened when I flashed ics onto my htc sensation. No restore.

I ran across an inquiry somewhere that said it only works the first time you use the phone-apparently once you've registered a new device to your google account it doesn't offer to restore a second time even if you've wiped the phone. I wonder if you change the phones name in build.prop if you could trick it that way.

MLB at Bat '12

It's not available for the Galaxy Nexus right now, I'm guessing it's a 3.0+ compatibility issue. Has anyone tried getting the APK to work on their Nexus? To be clear, I'm not asking for the APK, I just want to know before I buy it on my vibrant to transfer over.
Would love to know this also. I sent an email to their help desk ([email protected]), but have not heard anything back yet.
I was able to install on my old ERIS and backup with titanium backup, then restore to my verizon nexus. It works. I tested with the LITE version; don't want to buy the full version if its not going to work.
Can't extract the LITE apk, by the way, it's set up like a paid app.
I am also interested in this. App is "incompatible" with my DroidX, but I was able to download it to a regular Droid. Not sure how.
Editing the build.prop file also did not help.
Oh and the Google wallet trick of opening in the phone browser then selecting market app doesn't work either. Just days item can't be found
Correction
Correction to my previous post: Editing the build.prop file DOES work. I successfully changed from a DroidX to a Droid3, and was able to download and install from the Market.
I was able to download the app from the market on my galaxy nexus no problems. Runs smooth. Go jays go
Using AOKP 27 rom if that makes a difference.

Ruh roh, might be incompatible with 4.0.4 roms then. Ho hum. Go yanks!
Thanks for the replies. I went ahead and bought the app on my rooted Samsung Vibrant, sent the apk to my Galaxy Nexus and it works perfectly. Well the app does at least, I'll have to wait for a game to see if the streaming audio and stuff works.
Works off amazon
I too could not see it in the market using liquid rom....it did show up in the amazon app store however...working fine now
It was updated today. It's compatible with the GNex now.

What are you running? I'm on stock 4.04 CDMA version and it still doesnt show for me.
I have been able to install with no problem on 4.02 and 4.03. I haven't tried 4.0.4 yet.
If you have a paid MLB.tv subscription you can access everything for free by installing the MLB lite version. After you log in, it unlocks the paid subscription version. It states that in the MLB At Bat 12 description.

Doesn't work on 404 but works on 403 confirmed
What did you use to rip the apk? Would like to put this on my tablet to.
Works fine on 4.0.4, it just does not show up in the market on 4.0.4.
I restored a 4.0.2. nandroid backup, installed the app, backed it up with Titanium back up, restored my 4.0.4. nandroid backup, and then installed it with Titanium back up.

Same here. Btw, in years past they update that app fairly regularly at the beginning of baseball season, so you'll want to be on a 403 ROM to get updates without having to nand every time.

Nexus 7 compatibility issues

I'm relatively new to the Android os. The Nexus 7 is my first Android device. I've rooted and unlocked it with tablet model enabled by setting the dpi to 175. I follow this forum like it's going my job and I've learned a ton here.
I'm starting to notice that there are many apps on the Play store that other users are suggesting that are incompatible with my device. Is it possible that my Nexus 7 is configured incorrectly, causing the store to think it can't run the apps?

DPI changes can cause the Play Store mark apps as uncompatible.

Change your pixel density back (at least temporarily). That should fix it, the market uses pixel density as a criteria for the compatibility checker.
That was the first thing I thought of. It didn't help.

A lot of is side load the apps to install them.

Anything other than stock (213) or 160 will chase issues on Google play. Change to either one and clear data before trying to access Google play and it should work
If that doesn't work, you may also try tacking a dalvik cache wipe on the end. That fixed it for me.

For some reason, I was able to update to the pro version tonight. When I got home tonight, I was contemplating performing a factory reset. I was doing some research on the process and I noticed that there was an update for the Rom Toolbox lite downloading. This was not the first time this particular update downloaded but on a bunch I decided to see if I could get the pro version and the Google Play Store decided this time to let me download it. Thanks everyone for your help.

If you change your DPI to 160, there should be no incompatible apps, besides flash iirc. If you don't like the DPI there, just switch to 160 for getting apps, then switch back.

Google Ears outside the US

Google Ears (like Shazam / Soundhound) is automatically disabled for Canadian (maybe other non-US?) Nexus 7 users, I guess because we can't buy music from the Play Store. It's in system/app, but it's frozen.
Titanium Backup will not allow me to unfreeze. I moved the existing apk and odex with Root Explorer and put this in it's place, set permissions, rebooted and installed. Works fine, but it doesn't stick around after another reboot. I can restore it with Titanium and it'll work again... until the next boot.
It's so quick in identifying a song vs Shazam. Any ideas?
I'm sure there must be an easier way, but it seems that converting it to a user app with Titanium after restoring does the trick.
It's disabled in UK too. I just set permissions using root explorer (rw, r, r), put the widget on my homescreen and it's stayed there through all reboots. Didn't notice any icon appear in the app draw though.

Strangely enough, it isn't disabled on UK Nexus S's (my friend has one, unrooted stock, I saw it there after he got JB update).
All I had to do was defrost with Titanium Backup.
I can't even get it to install .Works fine on my OneX side loaded the apk to the N7 and it just goes through the motions of installing then says failed

It's a widget, shows up as Sound Search. I'm amused at the propensity for Google to always have two possible names for one service... you never know for sure where something is going to show up in the app drawer / app manager.
Anyone having trouble may want to try the version from the Google Ears/Sound Search (From Jelly Bean) thread over in dev / hacking.
For users in Canada, Google has it disabled
use tibu to defrost it,
type this in terminal emaulator:
su
pm enable com.google.android.ears
then use this link to update it:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.ears
don't search, it wont work use the link. This worked for me.

Google play movie freeze

I purchased 3 movies through the Google Play store. I can download them or stream them. My Nexus 7 will play the movie fine but my galaxy s3 will only play the first 9 seconds. The phone just stops at 9 sec then it will kinda "boot loop" that 9 seconds until I exit. Not an actual boot loop, just the best way to describe the problem. What can I do to fix this? I want to play movies on my phone while away from my Nexus 7. The phone is rooted running stock 4.0.4 I747UCLEM
Thanks
I have the same issue. I'm running rooted Nostalgia 7.5 UCALH1 ROM
I also have this issue
In just guessing, but it may be because your rooted.
My tablet is rooted but doesn't do this
I also have this problem. Tried to watch the walking dead in hd on the google play movies app. At 9 seconds it goes into loop until i stop it. Any kther ideas besides that we r rooted? I would really like to watch the new walking dead lol.
Thanks
I am also having this problem on Jellybean. Downloading my movie now to see if it's just with streaming.
Downloading it made no difference.. Still crapped out at 9 seconds
I'm having the same issue. Thought maybe because I was rooted but that gives you an error message and wouldn't let you actually start streaming. Works great on my Nexus 7 but I get exactly 9 seconds in as well.
Are you on a DeOdex'd ROM too? I have not seen it on an odex'd rom or CM10... Just DeOdex'd TouchWiz.

Yeah. Running Frosty JB right now. Just flashed Toasted Marshmallow by ...Awesome... now. Gonna restore to Frosty in a little bit, odex it and find out if that solves the problem.

Just odexed and couldn't get it to play past 9 seconds
[edit] Wanted to see if it was only on the S3 so I downloaded Google Play Movies to my fiance's phone, my old MyTouch 4G rooted and running ICS. Played no issues. Apparently this issue is isolated to the S3.

So I tested the issue out on a CM10 based ROM with no issue...what ROMs are you guys all using with the 9 second freeze?
This is the ROM that works for me.

I'm on JellyBombed v11 and have the same 9 second freeze. I even restored back to the stock rom (still rooted) and i got the freeze.
Is it confirmed that CM10 based roms don't have this issue? Thx for the help, glad i'm not alone in this.
I have this problem as well. Galaxy S3 T999. Currently running Wicked ROM v7. It's a TW based ROM. I just uninstalled it for now. Luckily all I got were some free TV episodes, and didn't actually sink any money into it.

Was there ever a solution to this problem? Its made its way over to the S4.
Sent from my SGH-M919 using Tapatalk 4 Beta
An official one, no. However I do not have the issue anymore. The only thing that I can think of is that I am using a slightly modified kernel by freeza found in his deodexed MD4 thread. There might be a list of tweaks done to the kernel in there. Or try asking him.
Hope this helps!

Same issue...
Has anyone got any more info on this? I have the same issue with a sprint s4.
I'm also seeing something similar on an M919 S4. I do think it may be kernel-related, because I didn't see it on stock; I only got it once I tried to flash a Google Play Edition rom (mrvirginia's "Virgin Rom," which does use a custom kernel). But it also seems a bit idiosyncratic, since there's only one other person in the thread about that rom who has mentioned it, which suggests it's not a widespread problem.
My problem is slightly different than the one described here, though; it still plays to precisely nine seconds and then freezes, but rather than a "boot loop" (which to me suggests it keeps restarting from the beginning and playing to that point), mine screeches to a halt, with the screen not moving apart from a few graphical glitches, and making terrible noises. The "nine seconds" aspect makes me pretty certain it's a fundamentally similar problem, though.
As a side note, I sort of wish Google had chosen a better name for the app than "Google Play Movies," because it's seriously difficult to search for this bug with such generic terms.
I'm currently having the 9 second issue as well, ever since I updated to MJA on my Sprint S4. I've used the stock kernel and KTkernel, still the same issue (I'm currently sitting stock, rooted). Hopefully the update to MK2 might alleviate the bug.
Update: The MK2 update fixed the issue with Play Movies.
