Sky Sports TV - bit of a joke really. - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

Check list:
Galaxy nexus phone to stay the most up to date in the market - Check
Jelly bean 4.1 to have the best stock experience - Check
Brand new Sky Sports TV app to catch the rugby whilst at work or out and about - Che.... oh no, wait a minute, sky have released a brand new app in the last 24 hours that doesn't work with Jelly bean 4.1.
Who releases a brand new app that doesn't work with the newest OS? Is it not normally the other way around? Make sure it works on the most up to date and if it's backwards compatible then great....
I'm gonna have a look and see if it'll go with blue stacks later but I doubt it. Can anyone pull the apk off the market to test please?
May thanks

I'm pretty sure it isn't even compatible with the S3. I would un-root any day to get this app!

Tried to get it working on Bluestacks... But no avail.

remember the sky go app coming to galaxy nexus in the coming weeks, months ago?
lol wait till thats released for nexus (4.0.x only)
so long to make that a new OS was out before it.
and i thought their customer service was bad.

Please someone post the apk

I use my Gnex as my test phone - I've managed to get it to work by downgrading to ICS and hiding root.. now need to figure a way to mirror my display to my pc.. any ideas?

Getting a 'your phone is not supported message' when I try to watch anything, gonna have to wait till they allow S3s, pretty annoying given they already support S2s.

GTA III + Samsung Galaxy S I9000

Does it work with you?
I could open it, download game data but then it closes (no force close) every time I click on the app icon. Downloaded Chainfire 3D, installed it, but no luck.
I9000 + MIUI
Works for me pretty smoothly.
I really want to download this game but i want to know if the i9000 can handle it first =/.
If it doesn't work go into market and hit refund. I believe it gives you a full refund if you uninstall within 15 minutes of downloading.
Sent from my MB855 using XDA App
Yeah thats true but the problem with big games like this is that if you have trouble downloading the additional files the 15 minute window can soon disapear.
They should have left the refund time at 1 hour. 15 minutes just isnt enough half of the time.
Of course it will run smoothly on Galaxy S... It's 1 thread optimized game and actually does not require dual core device.
pls post your kernel, rom or other requirments what we need to play.
thanks.

I9000? Which ROM?
I'm getting a bit closer now... I can now watch the two intros, but then it exits again.
Doesn't work for me (Cyanogenfortomorrow). Damn, i first bought it on Galaxy S, than i got my money back. Later i tried on galaxy nexus, where it isn't working either, and now i can't get back my money.
It's not working for me either (i'm on Darkys 10.2 EE),i'm now installing Chainfire 3d as you suggested
edit: doesnt work with chainfire3d either...
Lame!

How did you get it to work? Help us!
It almost works for me
It opens, and when I leave it, it shows the credits while music is playing. However, when I touch the screen, it turns black and nothing seems to happen anymore.
I am running Simplicity 2.1
edit: just got it as far as the homescreen, clicked start game, and now I have a black screen and nothing happens :-(
edit2: with chainfire3d it doesn't work either

Grand Theft Auto III HiRes patch GN V0.2

I uploaded a new gta3.set with best improvement.
V 0.2
- Breaks and Debris
- Accelerate/brake and steer at the same time (tks mixedlemon)
V 0.1
- Car lights, Lamps and Flashing Lights
- Detailed Shadows, Traffic Lights, Blood
- Hi Resolution
just download attached zip file (gta3HiResV02.zip), and copy extracted file (gta3.set) to: /sdcard/Android/data/com.rockstar.gta3/files/GTA3
- backup existing one
Basically it is .set file specific for Galaxy Nexus
Thanks man, not only does this look better but on my Nexus it also fixed the touchscreen issue of not being able to accelerate/brake and steer at the same time.
Do you think it's possible to get a fix so that we can jump out of moving cars? There's a bug that doesn't allow you to get out of a car until it has come to a complete stop? How else are we supposed to ghost ride cars into crowds of people lol?

Sorry guys, but it's been awhile since I played these games on my PS2. I guess I got mixed up. I think the ability to jump out of moving vehicles happened in GTA4?

I'm starting to think that it may have only been the international versions that had compatibility restrictions, even when it wasn't playable on the Nexus and specifically stated "Coming soon for the Galaxy Nexus" I was always able to find it in my market and buy it from my CDMA Galaxy Nexus on Verizon.
This is just my best guess based on not reading anything, so if anyone else knows more about the subject please correct me.
Have you tried using Market Enabler?
Back during the $0.10 sales I had to edit the build.prop files on my HTC Rezound to make it think it was a Nexus S in order to buy the Gameloft games. Perhaps you'd be able to change it to identify your device as a Rezound or some other phone on the supported devices list?
I'm not seeing a gta.set file... should I just place this one in there? or am I missing somethin?
edit: Nevermind, there was no .set file in there to backup, but dropping this in there actually made a huuuuge difference. Thanks alot.
So this will not work on Galaxy Note :?

I had this problem too at first. There's a number of different versions out, being in Australia I'm pretty sure we would've had a censored version. Try going to https://market.android.com/developer?pub=Rockstar+Games,+Inc. and see what shows up. I used to be able to see 3 different versions but only one was installable, though they must have updated it recently because now the other versions are hidden from me.

[Q] Samsung Smart View apk

My SGS2 died today so I thought it might be a good idea to get a Nexus, but yes the Smart View App I have surely wasnt updated to 2.4.2 which should support ICS and as Samsung doesnt support the Galaxy Nexus with their apps yet could someone supply me with the latest version please until I get my SGS2 back?
cheers

The thing is, I think the app is only compatible with the SGSII, so we have to wait until somebody ports it over.

the 2.4.0 does work but due to ICS there are issues thats why I wanted the 2.4.2 release which has been updated on DEC 27th to support ICS ... but as the market is limited to SGS2, Tab and Note I cant fetch it on the Nexus ...
*bump* c'mon guys dont let me down on this one ... really need it ...
really? no one able to quickly fetch, backup and upload it? tried almost everything possible, editing build.prop to get recognized as a SGS2 on the market, android emulator patching and stuff ... unfortunately all attempts did fail ...

TeamViewer QuickSupport app

TeamViewer release an app that allows remote control of your phone from your comptuer called QuickSupport. It says that it is only for Samsung phones and tablets.
The app stops itself from running on the Nexus. I contacted TeamViewer and they said that the Nexus isn't a Samsung device, it's a google device.
Does anyone know how liberate the program so it will work on the Nexus?

not sure whats stopping them but it looks like they want to offer it to other devices as well besides samsung.
as far as stock firmware its probably a security issue where if your phone has root access and someone say gets your teamviewer password they can technically login, go nuts with you phone, and brick it and all while you never realizing what just happened
Touchpad can do anything!

Verizon vs International Sections

I am starting to do my research since i'm looking for a newer budget phone.. This Moto Z Play seems to be a great phone for my needs / wants.
I am getting confused because I know there is a Droid (verizon) version and an International version. Specifically when it relates to ROOT.
Does anyone know if XDA will split this forum into a Verizon and International Version? (I see this on most other phones / variants)
Thank you.
There is no reason for xda to split the international vs the droid version. The droid version will never get an official bootloader unlock and likely will not get an unofficial bootloader unlock. The only way to root the droid version is to use the dirty cow exploit which works on both versions. In the unlikely event that the droid version gets a bootloader unlock and rom support, roms may support both devices due to the hardware being the same aside from the radios. Even if they didnt it would be easy to tell which is which because devs would put [XT1635-01] for the droid version and [XT1635-02] for the international.

I have not tried it, but it is supposed to work with every android phone that has not recieved an ota for a couple weeks (even then it might still work). I dont have a link to anything and i dont know if xda would allow me to post or pm a link either, so you will have to use google. There is a github with a proof of concept that may or may not work.

Thanks! I sent a PM to @beaups to see if he knew more about it.. said it most likely wouldn't work since the /system is protected.. but he said even if it did work, it may not even be fully functioning root.. so i'm not getting my hopes up...
so right now i'm trying to prepare myself for the idea if i could live without root. lol :silly:

Life is much easier these days without root then it used to be in the froyo and gingerbread days, maybe even up through jelly bean.

perhaps.. I just get picky using my physical buttons all of the time. So I enjoyed either custom ROMs that had power menu button, screen shot, and sleep all baked in. Or use xposed to get those features using gravity box.
but I saw the moto z play lets you wake and sleep with fingerprint.. so thats a majority of what I like root for.. but want to get rid of bloatware.. make custom sounds.. etc...

If you use a 3rd party file explorer you can use your own sounds, it should give you an option when you try to change your notification or ringtone. You should be able to also add custom ringtones and notification sounds to the Ringtones and Notifications folders in /storage/emulated/0/ and it should show up in the regular menu. You can kinda get rid of bloatware by disabling it in app info, some apps wont let you disable them though (like google play services). I'm still on stock and have disabled all google services (except google play services which i denied all permissions to) and put on a 3rd party launcher.
