I was trying to download the Wall Street Journal and/or New York Times Tablet editions but I think it doesn't see my phone as a tablet and blocks the download . . . Is there a way around this? or an .apk I could directly download and install? I found the BBC tablet edition in the market and it works well so not sure what's going on . . .
Any thoughts on this?
I don't really know but may be they are not configured the same - if it was an official BBC app and allowed download to our devices then I would question it more.
But like I said, I don't really have much knowledge about it so hopefully someone can tweak it.
Hey mate can also confirm this, downloaded it and once I opened it there was a message at the top stating not compatible with this device... could be Honeycomb dependent any one have a Galaxy Tab? That could try it?

Hey guys,
This might be really stupid but Launcher Pro has expired and I can't install any of the new files. I am using shubcrafts android build btw.
Is there any way of installing it? I have also allowed android to install foreign apps (so to speak).
Thanks.
Also it wont let me access anything and just keeps opening up a web browser. I replaced the android file but that didn't do anything. I am thinking of just installing a new build.
a coworker of mine had the same issue today. I'm just reposting the link from another website, since I typically come to xda to find answers to stuff like this... either manually type this into your ANDROID browser, or if you could somehow make it to this page from your phone, just click this link... from your phone lol
market://search?q=pnamerg.adw.launcher
it is the direct adwlauncher link to the android market!
hope this helps! =)
was referred here from a reddit forum. i'll just post what I wrote there.
Living in China and I got an LG-P503 today. After turning it on I was seriously disappointed to see that the Marketplace is removed on the Chinese version. After searching around for the past 3 hours online I found that its pretty common, as well as the amount of people it pisses off, but I couldn't find a real working fix for it.
Here's what I've done so far:
* successfully rooted it
* tried several .apk's of the Marketplace and could never get them to load, even using MarketEnabler
* attempted to install the .apk's using Astro and Root Explorer (to manually put in the the app folder)
But now I'm wondering if I can just fix all of this by somehow putting the American version of the firmware on it. It would be great to get rid of all of the Chinese stuff too. Even if its set to English the keyboard always defaults to Chinese and all of the notification messages are in Chinese. I've read online that the P503 is the exact same as the P500. Can anyone recommend anything here?
No Market Solution
Hi.
Welcome to the forum.
You can read this thread for more details about ur problem.
Also, flashing a custom ROM which are unbranded will make ur problem go away.
i recommend getting the void rom or the Prime rom. they are both awesome, but i advise using prime first cause its a nice taste of the overclock. find it in the dev forums, but do not expect guides there: guides are in the general section (mostly)
Market has banned all chinese ip's, so its impossible. Thts wat i think
well i have market enabler installed and the biggest gripe is just that i want a market that is in english.
I'm nervous about custom roms. is there a way to install the american version or the uk version of the firmware? and if so where could i get that?

that is not the case. it seems only mobile version matters. I have a MB501 for T-Mobile and I can access Android Market, while I have no access to the Market with my LG P503.
ok so i just got the Onda VI10 tappet that is running 4.0.4 but some parts off the play store are not working like i cant find the facebook app in the store i download the uk ipayer app and it want play the movies and shows and the same with Netflix it want play with just sounds so is there a way i can update the rom to an uk english version or somting to make it work fully in the uk so to speak?
thank you very much for your help am really liking the taplet other then the small problems
Well for reference the iPlayer app doesn't work on ICS anyway

i had an quick look i not totaly sure what i am looking for anyone to point me in the right direction ?
are you using ics 4.03 with baseband 1.1?
If you are, you only have to go to slatedroid.com and search for the all winner a10 tablets section they have a dedicated onda section.
once there look for the googleplay script fix.
then make sure you choose the build property option galaxy s2 to allow all the apps you have been missing.
there are other scripts there for you to try.
for anyone that might read this just to let you now works and its not working great an very nice tap
Hi All,
I picked up a Soniq 32" Lcd last weekend and it runs android. I have been trying unsuccessfully to root this device. There is no usb debugging option so I am unable to use Z4 or alike.
I also have been trying to get the official maketplace installed by it keeps crashing.... anyone had any experience with these??
Thanks
BEn
Maybe try apps like this one:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...EsImNvbS5icmlhbmYyMS5udGhpZGRlbnNldHRpbmdzIl0.
To enable the hidden usb debuggin?
APK
Any Idea how to get the APK file?
Developer has it on his blog:
http://brianf21.blogspot.ca/
advancedservers, haven't worked out how to get the market on the soniq yet, but I found a way to install apps, just drop them onto a flash drive and then install them through the file manager in all apps. hope this helps.
Has anyone successfully rooted this android TV?
I have a Soniq E55V13A with Android 4.2.1
I know a few people have had trouble getting the TV Launcher on to it which skips the annoying cinavision front page and goes straight to TV.
The proper Soniq TV Launcher that you want is not in the Google play store as far as I can tell even though it is freely available in the Soniq cinavision market.
Here is the apk backed up from mine if you're having trouble getting it.
You can put it on a usb drive and install it from there.

The apk link still works for me and I was able to install it on my phone. Maybe try a different browser?
Bumping an old thread
Hi All,
I have the Soniq S55V14B-AU Running the original Android Firmware (Not sure how to find this). By now I am sure there would be a way to root this device and rid it of the cancer that is Cinavision. Can anyone help me? I don't have much cash to buy an up to date smart TV and considering this is running Android I am sure there would be a way by now to remove the trash and actually get Netflix on it.
Hope someone can help.
I gave up trying to update. I don't think Soniq ever released a decent update and even their website for updates is broken.
I vaguely remember being able install some apks via usb, maybe even root, but I doubt you will ever find an open source version of android built for your model.
Your best bet would be to get a Chromecast/Fire Stick/Roku etc. and use all the streaming features from there through HDMI. In fact you should definitely not connect the TV to the internet. It's so full of security holes that I've seen a report from at least one user who had ransomware take over his Soniq TV.
Hi,
so far I have been using iOS devices and they pretty much do what I need, even without jailbrake.
Unfortunately iPhone has a small screen and the new one I don't really like (plus it is quite expensive).
I am looking at WP but it also has few down sides (for me) despite of system itself looking great!
So,, here we come to SGSIII and few questions.
On my iPad I use VPN and got myself apps from UK and US store without problem. Now I can enjoy the likes of BBC iPlayer and Netflix.
If I'll get SGSIII will I be able to do the same?
I was told SGS III has locked bootloader and I will need access to this if I want to root this phone in order to download apps (like Netflix) from Internet , not from Google Play which in Poland will not have them available.
If SGSIII (which wen down in price a bit) will not do what I need - what else (with approx 4,5" screen) should I look at?

Does it mean that I will have no problem making VPN and Netflix work on this device?
And installing Netflix app (which in polish Play is not available).
You shouldn't have any problems running netflix if you root your device all your doing is getting superuser permission. If u flash a custom Rom you may have some problems then like I flashed paranoid android v2.13 and can't use the tvcatchup anymore still looking for a fixed!
Don't hold me to it I'm just going by my experience lol root didn't change anything service wise only the rom did.
No... custom roms is not my thing - i did not even needed to jailbrake my ipad so far. As long as I can get vpn up and apps like iPlayer and netflix all the rest is enough for me - all I need is browser, mail client, access to skydrive and MS services - and I am happy.
So I can get European SGSIII and should have no problem in getting the entertainment soft working on it?
TVCatchup blocks all VPNs
Just found something called Market Enabler - will that work for me to get those app from different markets...?
Yes market enabler allows you to find and download apps that are not available in your country.

Thanks! So unlike in case of Windows Phone I should be OK.
