[Q] Up!, Last Try. Market hides apps your dev can't run but some work, how list them? - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

First I'm deeply sorry to being a novice question come to this forum to disturb, but I couldn't get answers in other common android forums.
Second many greetings to you all, and hope to be helpful some day here. Apologies too for any cr*p as my english is quite limited.
And the thing:
As you know better than me, market gets your device id, and if an app witch has a minimal specification (f.e. skyfire, requests resolution over 480*320, flashplayer cpu over arm6 and so on), your device does not meet, is not listed. But as you again sure know better than me some of them sometimes do work in the device.
Is there a way from the device to get the Whole list or yo send the device id I like to market so I can list this apps or any other way than do on my self and find somewhere else to get them one by one?
What would happen If I change device id in /system/build.prop, something nasty or is this id wich is sent to market?
Sorry again if something is too lame or stupid, and thanks for your time.

Only let know that athough I belived it could, market does not get dev id from the built.prop in /system. I changed and erased all data of market but still does not make it...

Contact syncronizing issue

Okay, I´m now turning to the greatest Android forum on the internet in hope of help.
I´ve been searching and browsing both this and other sites trying to figure out how to solve my problem, without any luck so far.
I am currently running BeHero v1.3.2, in case you need to know.
People / Menu / Show
Sim 124
Google 240
Exchange 226
Phone 124
The numbers is offcourse the number of contatc in each category.
How can I sync these? Right now its a mess, I dont know how many duplicates there is, I dont even know how many real contact I actually have.
I would like to move all those contacts into a single place and then somehow remove duplicates and them get them back into my phone.
I really hope someone knows, and I really really hope that if someone does, he/she could tell me and pretend that I'm a 5-year old kid. I mean like a step-by-step instruction that simply cant be missunderstood.
I'm on my knees, begging for help.

[Q] Question about default.prop

Hi,
I'm having a few minor problems with the Android Market since rooting. For example, a game I paid for called "My Paper Plane 2" is nolonger available to download even though the trial/demo is available.
I've tried a lot of the fixes on this forum and with no success so far and while looking through the contents of default.prop and build.prop I found something that I wondered if an entry in the default.prop file might be contributing to this problem.
This is the line I am wondering about in default.prop
ro.product.locale.region=US
I did a bit of googling on the phrase "ro.product.locale.region=" and noticed that this line varies....
ro.product.locale.region=IT
ro.product.locale.region=FR
ro.product.locale.region=GB
...as a few examples.
As I'm based in the UK, could this be why the market isn't showing all the apps I would expect. Should I edit the file (I've pulled a copy off the phone but thought I'd ask the question here before pushing it back just to err on the safe side) to GB and reboot? Or has anyone else got any suggestions on what might be causing this?
As a few more examples, I can't also find the demo of Touchdown but I can see the full paid app.
And another game called Armageddon Squadron doesn't appear either.
And a program suggested to search for on this website...
careace.net/2010/06/16/how-to-fix-protected-android-market-app/
"Dr Droid"
...well, I can see the demo but not the full paid version.
You need to modify build.prop/default.prop for valid
ro.build.fingerprint=xxxxxxxxxx
for the UK market. Your OS version might be not authorised for the UK market yet.
For the Japan market I've had to use the fingerprint from the older OS.
Hi and thanks for the reply wildthing_san,
I've pulled a copy of the build and default files from an original X10i that I issues to one of my directors which looks like this...
ro.build.fingerprint=SEMC/X10_1235-7379/SonyEricssonX10i/es209ra:1.6/R2BA020/1274691689:user/rel-keys
And from looking at this forum page...
http :// forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=711907&page=239
...the bit that looks important seems to be the bit I bolded.
However, on checking through the default file, there are a couple of other references to this like...
ro.semc.version.cust=1235-7379
ro.product.name=X10_1235-7379
I also can't find any reference to that number in the build file.
So my question is, (in a kind of is it safe way) should I just update the default file finger print in my phone to include that 1235-7379 reference, i.e. change it from....
ro.build.fingerprint=SEMC/X10_1232-9897/SonyEricssonX10i/es209ra:1.6/R2BA024/1276581782:user/rel-keys
to...
ro.build.fingerprint=SEMC/X10_1235-7379/SonyEricssonX10i/es209ra:1.6/R2BA024/1276581782:user/rel-keys
...and ignore those other references or change those as well?
EDIT: Thank you Thank you Thank you Thank you Thank you Thank you Thank you my friend.
Your suggestions were spot on, I did basically what I was wondering above including the extra two changes to the version and name and everything works spot on!!!!
Thanks again mate! Really appreciate the help/advice.
Might have spoken too soon. Some apps have come back. But not all. Still missing one polarbit game and strangely a couple of unimportant free apps. Trying the clears cache trick and will wait 24hrs to see if things continue to improve. My Paper plane 2 is back atleast
Sorry for hijacking your thread sligthly, I would appreciate it if somebody could upload a Nordic, or preferrably Swedish default.prop.
Im curious to see what the following lines looks like
ro.semc.country=
ro.semc.locale.language=
ro.semc.locale.region=
Anyone ?
Please ??

[Q] re-arrange items/apps in "share via" list

hi
here's a little pet peeve of mine
whenever i go to share a picture, website link, etc i am presented with a *huge* list of apps that i could ever possibly use
but here's the truth - i only ever use three (maybe four) of those apps
and, just an extra bonus, those three or four are distributed all up and down that list - and yeah, the gmail icon is at the bottom! lol
is there *any* way to modify that list??
or an app that lets us mod that list??
i'm asking you guys cuz you would know
and... if anybody wants an idea for an app to build... there ya go! i'd pay 99cents (heck, probably even 1.99) for such an app!
and, while i'm asking, i might as well say what would be just killer features ---- allow us to pick the say top five apps that would always show up, and the last entry says "all" so the entire list becomes available
would be good to be able to sort the apps that show up in that list too
anyway.. just gonna throw that out there
??
no one has anything to say about this?
Shame that there are no replies, as this is also bugging me. Here's a bump for the topic.
Annoying me as well. Recently downloaded a QR app and the damn thing added TWO entries. I'd love to be able to remove everything but email, facebook, and messaging...
How can this still be an issue
I can't believe there's no way to filter the list or at least sort the list in order used.
'Intents' and MIME-types
Recently I find that I've become rater annoyed with the list for "share via", and started wondering how I might go about deleting specific items or at the very least rearrange the order in which they appear.
I've been unable to find the answer, as most threads, only consist of the question, and no answers.
I did however find out that what causes an app to appear in the "share via"-list is an 'Intents'-argument with regards to MIME-types (.jpg or .txt etc.) when coding the app.
See: (add the http yourselves, as I'm unable to, with this being my first post)
stackoverflow .com/questions/7891473/how-to-write-an-android-share-plugin
&
stackoverflow .com/questions/3553017/android-share-via-dialog
That means, that in order to remove them from the list, we would need some app, like LBE Privacy Guard, that could limit the "offending" app's 'Intents' in certain regards.
However I've been unable to find anyone that seems to know which file to tweak in order to rearrange the order in which they appear.
I doubt this helps anyone very much, but it may just lead someone on the right path to maybe coming up with a fix for this.
Try 'Andmade Share' from the market, seems like it would be what you're after.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...1bGwsMSwxLDEsImNvbS5hbmRtYWRlc29mdC5zaGFyZSJd
or
share customizer
Play link
Feature request added at code.google 2012-01-25
It would appear that a feature request has been put in at code.google at 2012-01-25
(Again add the http-part yourselves)
code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=24741
While we are waiting for this "obvious" feature, the above reply's seem to offer what I'm asking for, at least in an app, though it ought to be built in...
Thx a lot itscro & biopsin
EDIT: I think I'll pass on the Share Customizer, with all the funky (chinese?) writing, and dec. 2011 latest update.
Andmade Share however looks like a winner, and I like the fact, that it doesn't require any permissions...
Awesome. Andmade Share seems to do the trick. Love it when old threads are brought back to life and solve a problem.

Maybe not right now, but give it time, JB isn't exactly widespread just yet.
Such is the cost of being on the bleeding edge...

[Q] Capture Stylus hover events before they get to apps

I'm trying to work with a custom build of Android based on KitKat to incorporate a stylus, copying some of the functionality (though not code) from Samsung which sells Android-with-stylus builds for e.g. the Note 3. I'm not including details of the specific device because right now I am working on a custom dev device and my aim is to write code which is generic enough to be usable from any Android (based on KitKat). The build (written by others) already incorporates drivers and sends stylus events correctly as motion events etc. Programming at the app level I can receive onHover, ontouch, onClick etc
The specific functionality I am trying to achieve is to pick up a stylus-button-click while hovering. It's perfectly possible to do this in any app, using an onGenericMotion Listener.
However, I want to make my "stylus-action" have system-wide effect - so that anywhere (in any other app, or in the launcher or whatever) I will pick up the event (prior to any other app) and bring up my custom menu. (just like AirCommand in Samsung Note 3) I guess in my custom Android this would then make that particular action somewhat protected or unusable for other users, but I'm ok with that.
In older Android (prior to ICS) you could try something by putting up a System Overlay (i.e in regular app code, without hacking the ROM at all), but this is no longer possible.
This is not an attempt to tapjack or whatever, I understand why this functionality has been removed from the domain of the regular programmer, and I don't want to regress my ROM back to pre-ICS behaviour by allowing the System Overlay hack. Now I am programming the system (if my change is good enough I'd like to submit it back to AOSP) so I would like to know the best method to address this. Since Samsung have already done this, it must be legal (using legal in the terms of "Android will allow it"), and I want to do it right.
Is it possible to write something similar to the System Overlay when you are running from a system service? Or is there a good choke-point to capture events before they are broadcast to the current running apps?
I was looking at (sorry, not allowed to post links) AndroidXRef /frameworks/base/core/java/android/view/View.java specifically in the function dispatchHoverEvent() which looks like a promising place. My naive idea is that I would place code here checking the MotionEvent to see if the button is pressed and if it is, don't call any listeners and instead call my little menu app (or broadcast a custom message, or something anyway). However, I've never written code on the ROM level before (LOTS of experience writing app code) so I don't know if this is a really bad point or a good point to add in code. Should I be putting things at a higher level or a lower one? Will this capture all events or not? Is it all just trial and error?
If this is the wrong place to ask questions like this, please tell me where on XDA I should be asking it. If it's the right place - please answer
Thanks

The guy above me is a ****. I stumbled across this post looking for something completely unrelated (title interested me). Five words in I knew this was something completely out of my league, but I still read the entire post. If I may offer you some probably useless advice, I would talk to the devs in the note forums. The only problem I could see is that the AOSP guys don't have this function in their roms because it's locked up Samsung code and the guys modding the stock roms leave it alone for the same reason. I could also be completely wrong. Like I said completely out of my league.
