one codec pack for some hd/ac3 vids... see if you need it first. do that by seeing if your videos work, if they do you don't need it.
no root yet either.

Thanks I will test a few videos when it arrives. Any other suggestions greatly appreciated.

[Q] looking for help

i would like to download and app from the market but it says not available in your country.
can someone help me by uploading it here or via pm or email. if its free of course i don't know if it is or not cause it wont let me get that far.
the app is called clipfish. its a german app i believe. id like to listen and watch to music and videos from another country and this app seems right up my Alley.
if anyone could help that'd be great!
I'm not sure but if copyright of this App is ON maybe you can't install it, anyway search for "MarketEnabler" application in the market. (I can't post link's because I'm new and I need at least 8 post's)
I personally never try it but i read a good stuff for it.
I found it when i search for a same problem with my app in the market, but my issue was that it was filtered for the developer device and i didn't check it.

Nope it didn't work. But I see market enabler being useful in the future. Thanks for that!

Just read the comments for that enabler app. Some people are saying that it doesn't work with market v3.2 which is what I'm using. So I'll wait and see if it gets updated.

I have tried both now and this one does work better but still it doesn't allow me to get the app.

Is the app perhaps available on other markets? I know AndroidPit and AndroidTapp are both making their own, there was another one too, they are springing up all over the place.
What app is it out of interest?
All the best,

I am rooted. It still doesn't work for me. I've tried to use it in as many variations as I can think.
I'm thinking since it is a German app for German music, videos, etc. That its all copyrighted specifically to Germany. Which makes me sad.

Found Tapatalk and other premium apps for free through GetJar...Legally

I found this app on another forum. It's nice because they post a handful of premium apps you can legally get for free.
GetJar
I came across it in my search to find a way to browse Rootzwiki w/o going through my browser. Rootzwiki now wants you to pay for their app and I don't want to spend even just a few dollars for the one thread I'm temporarily watching. Anyways, someone posted that you can get Tapatalk for free through GetJar. Many of you are already using Tapatalk but for those that don't know it allows you to browse and favorite hundreds of various forums. I never had the need for TappaTalk before and would have gotten it, but it's nice now that I could find it for free.
So through your phone's browser, you need to go to the http://www.getjar.com. Download their .apk and install.
Anyways, Beautiful Widgets is also on there for free and you can browse some of the other premium apps they'll find and post.
Nice find. Will head over there and check it out.

Downloaded and installed. I just found a couple apps for free that i paid for on the market lol. Oh well. I have been trying out some of the other apps on it. Thanks for the tip!
Sent from my DROID X2 using Tapatalk
I snagged a few of the Gold apps a week or so back, including Tapatalk, and haven't had any issues with any of them. About once a month, I tend to install their market, check to see if they've added any good ones, then uninstall the market again. Unlike Amazon, you don't have to have it installed to have the apps.
Very nice find I payed for a few of these paid apps lol thanks.
U can also get free apps threw 4 shared there is a YouTube video on how too

Yes you can but isn't 4 shared cracked apps? I had some at first when I did not know better. Then deleted via root explorer and bought it through the market.
This getjar seems more legit and legal I hope.
Where did you find the apk file? Thanks.

You need to go to the website getjar.com and download the app first. I hope you are not asking about the 4 shared apk files. Warning I believe they are cracked apps on 4 shared unless someone corrects me?

Not if you are downloading free ones. Nothing to crack. You can find old versions of apps if you don't like the update in market. Sometimes updated get rid of exploits

Does this app register the downloads with the Android Market? Or is this app similar to the Amazon App that gives away apps for free each day but in order to re-download them you have to have their app installed.

They don't. GetJar has their own market, so any updating would need to be done through it.
I do believe 4shared is not legal do not use it! Let's be moral and support our devs. We should also probably not continue speaking of it for the sake of the thread.

For the record, I was referring to GetJar, which is legal. I don't condone the use of illegal apps, via 4shared/wherever.
It wasn't aimed at you or anyone really, I just kept seeing it mentioned. No worries.

With the getjar, I heard people started having ads popping up when it was installed. Is this true? Is that why people install it to get the app then uninstall it?
BTW, even though they are free (I see things like Fruit Ninja FREE, etc), are these still add-supported apps? Or, is the free Fruit Ninja and Angry Birds add-free?
Thanks!
Maybe that's how they support putting paid apps for free on their website. The adds pay for the apps.
Sent from my DROID X2 using xda premium
I will say that I've had ONE ad randomly appear in my notification bar (saying I'd won an iPhone/iPad/etc), but a friend (on a different network, on a different, non-rooted/modified phone) that I know for a fact has no apps from Get Jar installed got the same thing an hour or two before me (he even called to ask me about it, since I'm his "android guy" lol). Still not sure what caused that.
(Sorry about all the stuff in parenthesis)

Etrade MobilePro for Android download - Cannot Download in UK/Europe - Please assist.

If your rooted ( I'm assuming you are since your on XDA ) I seem to recall a program called market enabler that lets you trick it into thinking you're in a different country or using another provider. I used it once to get the facebook messenger before it was released in England. Might be worth looking for.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using xda premium
Thanks - I'm not rooted, and don't plan to since it's a new device and haven't got much time on my hands . Am also aware of the market enabler & clearing the Google Play cache but obviously cannot use it because i'm not rooted.
Cheers.
Bump, grateful if someone in the US/Canada could please download and share the build ?
Thanks.
Anyone ???

[REQ] Logitech Harmony for Revue APK

Hi all,
Just bought a Logitech Revue but now I want to have the app on my TFP. However, as I'm in the Netherlands I can't download it from the Play Store (us only). Can any USA user help me out by downloading it and post the apk for me?
Thanks!
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.logitech.harmonyremote&hl=nl
I have it and while it states it's compatible on the play store, the app itself just opens to a screen saying the device is not supported. It works great on my phone though.

I would love to be able to make real-time "edits" to the build.prop using some kind of scripts. Or somehow make the system look somewhere other than the build.prop for certain apps so you could spoof yourself as a different device without worrying about bricking. Just a cool idea lol I'm no coder, it's likely not even possible.
I'll try and figure out how to upload - have the TB apk back up... unsure what to do next.
I posted in the main forum, I guess more people will need it
let me know if you can download it from there.
Good luck

apps updated to take advantage of multi window?

Is there any list of apps already updated or due to be updated for this?
This would be a good place to create such a list as we come across them.
So far I haven't come across any non stock, non Google app to take advantage of it. I am waiting mainly for whatsapp to get it. Other than that, Gabe's would be good so I can play and either chat or surf at the same time.

Can I do that without rooting?
