[Q] Blur version on photon vs D3/bionic/razr - Motorola Photon 4G

Hiyo all !!
Actually I was just curious if there is some kind of version upgrade on Motoblur (oops Motorola's application platform to be exact) between that of photon 4g than other moto qhd devices recently launched like that of bionic , droid 3 and the sweet droid razr.
I am sure almost all of you who have seen both device might have found that there are some minor changes like horizontal paginated drawer on droid 3/bionic versus vertical continous that of photon and some extra widgets in d3/bionic's version.
These changes doesn't matter much to me, but one thing that does matter is that MAP (or as well can blur) on D3/bionic seems much seemless,swift and lagfree to me then on stock photon.
This got me curious if ther is a new version of MAP on these new devices like Razr/bionic and if it is , is there any way to port that from these devices and get on our beloved photon.
Can some of the dev's investigate on this and let me know if its possible. I tried to google it (this is all I can do really !!) but couldn't find any answers.
Thanks in advance !!!

Well for the map anyways I pretty sure you can just get the. Apk from the rom and sign the app. Photon framework Apk might be needed. Google signing Apk

I was wondering this yesterday....Would definitely be awesome if we could have this in our photon.....

By MAP I mean Motorola's Applications platfrom (or MotoBlur as we call it) not Google maps... lol
If you did that on purpose , that was really hilarious

Can some of the dev's provide a definitive answer to this ? Is it possible or not ?
Thanks

You can already install the camera.apk from the razr, but you have to do a factory reset after installing the apk or you will get force close errors on the camera.

[Q] Does google goggles work for you guys?

I remember being able to use it not so long ago... But after I updated to that new leaked rom, I never bothered since. I just found out they got a huge update, and went to try and get it from the market, and it said it was not available for my device. The device is named on the market as "Rogers Wireless HTC HTC X515m"
Any help on how to get it working would be appreciated, I really like that app.

Google goggles version 1.6 is available for my Sprint EVO 3D via the Android Market. Not sure which version of Google goggles you're looking for but according to the Android Market on my device the latest version is 1.6.
From experience, I know the Android Market lists the EVO 3D from Sprint and the "other" EVO 3D as separate devices allowing developers to pick and chose which devices are supported by their applications.
Without any detail, it is hard to say for sure why it isn't available for your device. A simple bypass method would be somebody could upload the Google goggles .apk file and you can manually load. Of course, you'd need to be prepared to trouble shoot and I'd recommend making a backup first. Never know what conflict or issue loading an application on an unsupported device might cause.
Hope that helps!
Thanks. I guess i'll have to look into the APK or switch roms :S.
I really like the rom though so i doubt il switch it. But yeah, Thanks!

If you were interested in applying a "hack" .. the android market uses the build device information found in build.prop to determine the type of device.
If you swapped out your current information with the information from the Sprint EVO 3D, the market should detect your device as the Sprint EVO 3D and allow you to download the apk.
I don't think that is the best way to approach it and personally I would side load the .apk before I modified the build.prop.
Either way, figured I'd mention the possibility so you're aware of the different avenues/options available! Hope that helps!

Yeah, i know about that method.. But id rather not do it as im not really experienced. I'll try and find the APK, if that fails, il use the build.prop method
Thanks though

[A] faking device type on android market! It is possible heres how!!

I was wondering if its possible to fake the device you have on the market so you can buy whatever you want on the atrix?
Now I've heard of an app called the eris market fix but it doesn't seem to work on our phones.
Does anyone know of an app that can do this that would work on the atrix? I've searched all over the place and I haven't found anything.
I even tried changing a few properties around in the build.prop file including faking a htc desire hd fingerprint. Now when I did this the market on my pc's internet shows my phone as an htc desire but not sure if I got everything right because the game I wanted to get still wont show up on the android market on my phone. Though there does have to be some way to fake the market in the build.prop somehow?? Other people have done this! Any ideas???
Update: It is possible refer to here for how to setup your build.prop properly to achieve this! http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1378982&page=6 Me and Atrix_E figured this out at 3:30 in the morning and I have work in 3 hours!! LOL Also thanks to D-lite for providing the fingerprint we used and nightmare911 for providing some of the rest of the specs enjoy

Call of Duty ELITE (apk) updated 2/11/12

saw it in market and DL'd/installed fine for me on CM7 ba2tf. pretty poor port though.
Oh okay cool. Well damn I don't know why it says incompatible for me on Weekly 4..? I guess If somebody else is having the same prob as me the apk is now easy to find.
Is it full screen for you? Toggling compatability mode in Spare Parts didnt seam to work for me on this app.

nope, it's a crappy WVGA port with no button functionality, just the stupid iphone style interface.

So the CoD ELITE app was released on Android today! But NOT on (my) Atrix! But I transfered the APK from my Captivate and it works just fine!
The resolution is off, it does not take up the full screen. Maybe one of you mad scientist can dissect it for us?
It is just a port of the iOS version so it leaves a little to be desired, but at least it does work even though the Market says its not compatible..

Thank you WiredPirate for posting the apk. Surprisingly, this app is not available in certain countries like mine. And you just helped me (and probably others) a lot by doing this.
You are welcome!
YEAH, thanks a lot WiredPirate, it's not available in Panama either...
Sure, no problem. If they ever update it to fix the resolution problem I will post that apk for yall!
cod elite
it's on the market for atrix now. terribly made app. just ported from iphone. doesn't fill up full screen or have any button functionality. actually, doesn't have much functionality at all. basically check stats and that's it. stupid iphone ports
=)
Thank You very much
Yea, I wish they would fix the resolution. I keep seeing resolution fixes in the updates but still no luck
Hey WiredPirate, do you care to post the updated .apk? I would greatly appreciate it.
[EDIT] I mean, I greatly appreciate the effort thus far, but when I load up the app, it won't show the login form. Just the background with a banner at the top with the logo on it. :/

[Q] No application to perform this action Eclipse rom

I am sorry if this is somewhere on the fourms but I wasnt able to find what I was looking for. I currently downloaded the eclipse rom 2.0.4 on my x2 and when I go to take a picture, I cannot do the upload or share function on it, it says there is no application to perform this action. Note I did run the v7 script too a few days ago, but I was having this issue before it. However found out that I can go to the gallery app and do it that way but I can as said share from the camera itself. I was wondering if this is something anyone came across? Also if this was on a forum somewhere that I missed please let me know and ill check it out. And if this is something that isnt a normal thing, id like to know if there is any fixes for it?
Thanx in advance.
that's because u are looking at the pic thru the hacked blur preview
go into the actual gallery and u can choose share from there
oops
sorry
didn't read entire post
yea its a normal thing
the.preview pic from inside camera opens up a hacked blue preview, and due to all the blue sharing components being removed it gives u that error

thanx ashclepdia for the information. I was able to get by that issue by just downloading the AOSP Camera from Eclipse roms site. It works just what I want and now better.

update beta2 release(app) FLIPBOARD (official beta)

Found this application which was once only on i-application(iphone) working fine on our touchpad and yes it also plays good on my LG optimus one too. It is like google currents but a little different in work around. Enjoy the port.
Here is the app
Press thanks if I helped.........
no offense but I'm pretty sure i've seen this posted somewhere else..u might wanna give credit to the original poster who yanked this from the sg III launch event..
Should be this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1644212

yes you are right but most of the posts and topics look nice, neat and clean.
and I think something is still better than nothing....
what do you say?
compared to the browser....you'd have to argue the need for this, it was designed for the phone (GS3) and all that's been done is ported from there. If they developer made a bespoke tablet version then it'd be nice. but hey, thats my beef with ICS at the moment, many apps are stretched and look wrong
I like it alot.... Thanks for sharing,I hadn't seen the other thread so glad to have the app on my og evo and touchpad

Someone was working on a version where they adjusted the fonts to make them look better on a tablet but I never saw the actual package posted.

I was working on it.... Never got it right, as it appears I was only able to change the UI fonts. The article fonts themselves appear to be set remotely and just displayed locally. So it didn't even fix the biggest issue with the fonts which is in the articles themselves. It only fixed the UI and header fonts. I was going to post the APK anyway, but I found a force close error when trying to add new feeds, so that made things not so nice. Add to that the fact that for some reason, the APK wasn't installable unless I re-signed it, that makes it difficult to switch between versions without uninstalling/reinstalling, I decided not to post the modified APK.
If a developer type wants, I can send the modified APK directly. I'm not going to post it here because it's A) not stable and B) didn't achieve the intended purpose anyway, and C) I don't want to have to support something that's broken/unfinished.
Anyone that knows how to decompile/recompile an APK can do the same thing I did. All I did was reduce the font sizes in the XML layout and values files. As I said though, that didn't have any effect on the actual article content, which appeared to be defined remotely.
