Ok ... I am a huge baseball fan.
The MLB At Bat 2012 app is the same for phones and tablets.
I am assuming, somewhere in the app, it checks to see what tablet and OS I am running on.
When it discovers my tablet isn't on the "supported list" (either in the app or a check online), it won't enable the live video features.
The damn Kindle Fire is supported, but at this point, the Prime isn't.
You can spoof locations ... but, can you spoof your tablet? ie when checked, have the tablet report it's a Samsung Galaxy, Fire, etc?
Sounds silly, I know ... but the devs at MLB won't just allow everyone to try to stream.. my 2 year old EVO streams just fine.
And I can actually stream live MLB games using desktop mode of Opera.. but, I can't "Fake GPS" ... it checks my ISP. With using the app on the phone, it checks phones position using GPS or Network or whatever..
Anyway, curious if it's possible ... lol anyone up for a crazy worthless challenge?!
Either that or crack that damn app so it doesn't check which device I have.. sigh.

Try changing the build.prop file in systems folder, some apps check that to get device info. Ie. System apk. Just replace each "transformer prime" with whatever you think is supported

Don't change your build.prop unless you want a brick. Many users have done this and ended up with bricks.

Changing the build.prop to a different device I think would be a bad idea.... I would definitely do a LOT of research first because you could really screw up badly.....
If you can post up the APK someone might be able to figure out what its checking and either disable it or find a workaround.
EDIT: Nevermind, I just saw on the Market it's a $15 paid app.
Sorry if this is a little bit unrelated, but this is one of the only forums where I've found people discussing the At Bat 12 app.
In the past I've spoofed my GPS location with the app "Fake GPS" (the OP alluded to this). This year it doesn't seem to be working. Did they change to using cell tower IDs or something instead of GPS location?
I am able to spoof. Wasn't originally, but I had forgot to allow mock locations.
That and turn off the check position by cell network.
Just watched Rays beat Yankees and Rays are blacked out here.

There is a LITE version that requires a log in to your MLB.TV subscription to get all the features. Kind of like Netflix (Which also didn't work with the Tranformer originally! lol )
Sorry, I don't know how to attach the apk and cant include a link as a n00b, but a market search for AT BAT LITE will bring it up.
I've got the same problem. No video.
My dad (in his early 70s) saw my Transformer and went out and bought a Prime thinking he could watch MLB through it. No Dice.
And while we've found a workaround using Opera, its horrible, difficult, and not very pretty (Just loging into his MLB.com account and streaming through the browser). The whole point of the app was to make it easy for a non-tech savvy guy like my old man.
If there's an easy solution to "fix" that app, I'd greatly appreciate it. I'd love to get the MLB working for him!
Anyone want to take a peek? I'll buy the beer.
Would be nice if they would just support it.
I am sure it's something small in the app.. something that is checking the device to see if it's on the "tested list".
I have both the Lite (which is free in both markets), and the $15 paid version.
I finally said screw it and ordered Dish with the regional sports package ($9/mo addon).. now, with that, I get the Rays, Marlins and Braves games live and in HD (they are blacked out on MLB.tv because I am in their market), and with MLB.tv on the PS3, Xbox and Roku, I get everything else (because games OUT of my market are blacked out on Dish). Black out rules are so strange.
I stream to my TFP using the Dish Android App, which connects to my Sling Adapted hooked up at home on my new Dish Hopper DVR.
It's not the same as a full functioning app, but, I can watch the Rays games live at work.

location
I am trying catch me if you can as a gps locator. I turned off wifi and gps locator. When I bring up the map it shows my fake location as expected, but at bat still locates me to in the blackout area? Are there steps that I am missing?
I use FakeGPS.
Check allow mock locations in the developer settings.
With Wifi on, Run FakeGPS. Map will download, set location. Run FakeGPS. Stop location. I do this initially so I can see the map. After you do this, fakegps will always have your location in that spit, so no need to download map everyone via wifi.
Turn off Wifi. Uncheck all 3 options in location settings.
Run FakeGPS.
Set location.
Turn on wifi.
Load at bat.
should be good to go.

Amazon Cloud Player tip
Other than the music stopping when the screen turns off....amazons cloud player is perfectly compatible.
Load the web player website in landscape mode. After it loads...put it in portrait mode and you should be able to scroll through your lists.
this clearly has to do with the cloud player detecting the screen resolution...but without an app or SD card...I have to rely on the cloud player for music....would suck if it didnt work

wipe your tablet and tell it you live in USA during setup and the whole market will be available. Search the forum, this was already covered.
During that setup i did tell it English, USA but the it recognized I was from Puerto Rico and didn't give me much of an option.

Here's what I think might work,
Connect a laptop to ethernet on your home internet connection then use VPN to connect to a vpn server in the lower (upper?) 48. Then set up your laptop to share internet over wifi (hotspot). Connect your touchpad to it then start over with registration etc.
How does a cool, refreshing, and free 6-Pack sound?

I've tried to fix it by creating another account, but then when I tried to access the App Catalog an error message was displayed. It seems that it does some kind of validation with the IP address.
Try the VPN approach, it's gonna work. Or maybe you can try with Impostah, which you can download it from Preware.

I was just coming to post this. Thanks. I have tried glimpse and it's pretty useful. Just sucks that I paid for it two days ago. Should have been patient. On the bright side, maybe it'll motivate the developer to maintain support for the app.

Any luck with the Apps? I'm from PR but I have yet to open my TouchPad since a friend bought it for me. Its weird because I had full access to the Apps when I had my Palm Pre. I wonder if the information sticks from my old Pre to the new TouchPad if not I'm planing on registering it using my Sprint phone as a hotspot to be on the safeside.

Static libraries could be imported without changes most likely, but Java is not officially supported in webos (it uses javascript based on nodejs I believe), so you would have to do a complete program/ui rewrite other than perhaps any c/c++ compiled libraries included (but the different libc version may require those to be recompiled).
To make a long story brief, does anyone know of a hack that would fool a region protected app?
I downloaded the APK for the BBC I Player from mediafire and I opened it via Astro whilst connected to my UK proxy and also used a location spoofer app. When I tried to play content a message pops up saying it's only available in the UK. I then tried using my VPN account and got the same result.
Does anyone know of any way to make that app think i'm in the UK or is it impossible?
I did search XDA and as far as I can see is still an unresolved issue.

Firstly, thanks for the reply, I appreciate it.
Although it was a great idea (and one I hadn't thought of) it didn't work because it gave a message saying my i.p. was not compatible with the service. I suspect that's because I'm probably number 10,000 to sign up and use that i.p. and it was therefore blocked long ago. It did play the ads so in theory you're right, it would definitely have worked, so for anyone else reading this who has access to a 'clean' proxy, try it.
It wasn't a massive issue for me because I can get I Player via my browser using the proxy but it is a bit of a pain navigating it, as opposed to the clean interface of the player itself but it's better than nothing.
Also to anyone else reading this, I do get ITV Player and 4 On Demand via my proxy and I can get all the sport on 5Live, Sports Extra and Talksport, so it's only the stand alone players themselves that can't be broken.
Thanks again for the help and whilst i'm here, do you know of any other UK tv catchup services besides the one you gave me?
* UPDATE *
whatsontv.co.uk works like a charm through the proxy, the only downside being there's no live feeds but it is worth having.
Also, Blinkbox works with a proxy. Plenty of good free series but no live feeds.
123webtvdotcom is also a good service that works with a proxy and it simply gives you a grid of live tv programs that it then forwards you too.
All in all, three good finds thanks to the posters suggestion, so thanks.
I wrote a guide a few days ago about using Cerberus to recover your tablet if it was stolen here. Well now Cerberus is offering free licenses until February 29th to celebrate 100,000 users.
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/viewform?formkey=dFR4VHNka3czd2FJV2FIaXFYTHp0aGc6MQ
(if link doesn't work check their facebook page)
What Cerberus does.
It has three ways to protect your device:
- Remote control through the website www.cerberusapp.com
- Remote control via text messages
- SIM Checker (for devices that have a SIM card): you will automatically receive alerts if someone uses your phone with an unauthorized SIM card
Remote control allows you to perform many operations on your device, like:
- Locate and track it
- Start a loud alarm, even if the device is set to silent mode
- Wipe the internal memory and the SD card
- Hide Cerberus from the app drawer
- Lock the device with a code - Record audio from the microphone
- Get a list of last calls sent and received
- Get information about network and operator the device is connected to
- And much more!
Visit the market link to read the rest and download.

Was just about to remind everyone that its a 7 day free trial for the app so they need to register at the google docs link and then when the 7 days is over it will be March 1st and it will continue.
Also to remind everyone - Cerberus has additional features if you integrate it into a rom. It cannot be uninstalled (I mean, it can only be deleted by flashing a new rom or using adb/terminal emulator, but I don't think a lot of thieves know how to do that), and GPS is automatically enabled when you send a "Start tracking" command. So on the website there is a flashable zip for easy installation in /system/app.
Lets hope they stay by their word

if your tablet can pinpoint its location, even with agps, Cerberus should be pick that up.
and yes, It says on the Doc march 1st liscenses will be activated so the freevweek trial will last until then.

I saw another thread about hiding apps in some guy's wife's phone to track her. I'm looking for something similar with my wife, but it does not need to be hidden. Mainly to be used because I commute quite a distance and this would let her know how close I am to home (rather than having me text while driving). Similarly for her when she's travelling.
Just an app that would:-
1. Allow me to see where she is (and vice-versa)
2. Use GPS if on, otherwise fall back on net information
3. Not use SMSes (some sort of internet-based communication between phones)
I could probably hack something up using Tasker but her phone isn't rooted like mine is so the capabilities for GPS etc are a bit more limited (and time is limited, of course).
Thanks!

You can actually do this with the built in google maps application. It's called local/latitude. You can share where you are and control who sees it an when. Go ahead and look into it. Much better then downloading another app IMHO.
See here: Google search latitude android
Thanks, yeah I know about latitude features but it seems to lack a way to "ping" the other party with the equivalent of "hey, I've reached road X"
Sent from my GT-P7500 using Tapatalk HD
Use an app called Backitude from the Play Store. Latitude updates pretty arbitrarily on its own. This app allows you to control how and when it updates, and also let's another person force an update on your phone by sending an SMS. It's all Internet based except the update triggering part. You can also use the tracking features of Cerberus, another app in the Play Store.

Hi everyone. CW Network recently released a new VOD app for Apple TV, Roku, and Xbox, and Fire TV... but not Android TV. Someone on Reddit was kind enough to rip the Fire TV apk and post it for people to try, but there are a couple of issues. One is the Amazon ownership check (which doesn't seem to allow it to run even if you have the CW app on Amazon's app store), and the other is a strange error message about network connectivity. Could anybody take a look at it and see if it can be hacked to work on the Shield?
Reddit thread:
https://www.reddit.com/r/AndroidTV/comments/556f46/heres_firetv_cw_app_shows_on_leanback_launcher/
APK download:
http://www.mediafire.com/file/gkokbqq27s4vaxv/The_CW_com.cw.tv.android_1.0.0_106.apk

The guy who ripped it says that the leanback intent was already in place.

Edit:
Decided to try right away. The CW app was added to my amazon account and installed on my Fire Stick directly from Amazon. It still gave the connection error. There must be an issue with the app if the app is still giving a connection error on a Android device it was designed to be used on. I'm assuming CW will released an update to fix the problem soon enough. When they do, I can remove the amazon checks.

Weird, it works perfect on my Fire TV and Stick downloaded directly from Amazon. It doesn't work on any Android TV device though. I don't know how to crack the app. Someone needs to crack the app and see if he can get it working.

Would you be able to remove the checks on the PlayStation Vue Firetv app as well? I would love to be able to use it on my Shield.
Its not letting me post the link since I am a newer member but please let me know if you can do it and I'll DM you a download link.
Thanks!

Thanks for putting all this effort in. I'm away from home (and my Shield) this week, but I will try it when I get back.
Finally had the opportunity to try it. It no longer throws the ownership error, but still throws the connection error.

Cool. I'll keep an eye out for that, and I'll reply if I find anything regarding a new APK. Thanks!

Anything new happening on this front?
There are two network connections made at the initialization of the app. They are both going to Amazon WS. Both appear to have issues, probably because the User-Agent isn't a Fire TV UA, and the request that gets the license reports "android" from the Shield whereas the Fire version reports "amazonfire" on the posted data. Because of the differences, the license returns "invalid" on the JSON response.
If the responses that come back from the Fire stick were to come back to Shield, the app would function perfectly. I had changed the two URLs to my local webserver to return the good responses, and I could browse and watch episodes without issue. Beautiful picture.
With that, the app is very specifically blocking Android TV devices.
EDIT: Correction, the User-Agent is not used. It is just the "amazonfire", which is based on one piece of code. A small modification gets this working without needing to host the two response files.
Attached is an apk to try out.
** Edit: current version doesn't work anymore. Removing ***
That's awesome. I'll try this when I get home from work today. Would it be difficult to do this to the USA and Cartoon Network apps as well?
Seems to work awesome. I was able to watch an episode of the flash without issue
I took a look at USA Network and the Cartoon Network apps. The Amazon app for USA Network is a webapp, so it is unlikely to work without bigger modifications. Cartoon Network appears to have a few issues (title bar displays all the time, no leanback launcher banner icon, Amazon hooks). I'll take a look, but at least they have added casting support to the Cartoon Network Android app for now.
Thanks for posting The CW App, while the Content seems sparse, and not really my thing (DC Comic Universe), it does at least work, and thats something.
