Hi Guys,
Here in South Africa we have DSTV, our Digital Satellite TV. They have a Mobile App for Android on Google Play:
http://apps.dstvmobile.com/decoder
This application works on the following devices, running Android 2.2, 2.3, 3.x and 4.
Play store says this app will work on my phone, and it states its for 2.3. I have the HTC Evo 3D, which i imported. These DSTV developers (so they called) make this app specific to different HTC's, they have a supported phones list and my evo 3D is not on this list. I ave NO idea why they do this as it is Android 2.3??
I REALLY Need someone to unlock this app for the Evo 3D, when i install the app and RUN it, the reads this:
"Your Android Device is not supported by this application" It seems to do a server check before this message check.
Please let me know your thoughts? I know someone here did the previous app when it was still called Decoder.
Thanks guys!
This is the wrong section.
But you can try to edit your build.prop and change the device id to one of the devices that is on the "supported-list"

of course you are not a developer. That's why you posted it in here.

It ain't gonna happen til you root, expecting otherwise is very noobish, root your device and ask again in q&a and il guide you on how to do it
get the apk from somewhere else and install it manually..
Why you dont use "apkoptic" to save the .apk on sd ? I think no Root required...

You have to root your device to modify some system files in order to "fake" another device. I remember I faked my Evo3D as a Sensation in order to run some app.
The files in question are build.prop and some other xml (can't remember ).
Or someone could edit the app to not care what device it is? Its been done before..

Install to system /app. Then change the permissions to match all other apks. Just long press on another application, go to permissions, then change the permissions of the reader to match. Reboot and you should be good to go.

Hi everyone!
I hope someone here will have an asnwer for my question...
So , the question is, How can I know for sure, which Android version runs on my device, if I don't trust the information
provided in "build.prop" file.
Specifically, how can I be sure I have an ICS and not GB ?
Thank you in advance!

Furthermore if your running ICS for android version it should have a number ranging from 4-4.04.

Thanks, but both answers don't help in my case, as they do use the contents of "build.prop".
In my case, I don't trust "build.prop" , and hence looking for alternative ways to determine the Android version.

What's your beef with build.prop? The only other way I know is to download a ROM of your choice, unzip it, Look in META-INF>com>android> and open up the metadata file and you should be able to see it in there. But, I suppose that could be fudged as well. Is someone launching some sort of Android conspiracy against you?

LOL .
OK I'll explain myself...
I have a chinese phone, which runs Android.
Manufacturer , releases new ROMs from time to time.
Last few ROMs, were "4.0.3", as it was written in "build.prop", but after installation,
I saw there is no Right to Left support, and for me , that is a sign, that the ROM isn't really 4.0.3,
as (AFAIK) 4.0.3 supports RTL out ofthe box...
Now, I still hope they will release real 4.0.X ROM some day, but till then, I don't want
to install every ROM they release. I want to identify whether ROM is 2.3.6 or 4.0.X before I Install it,
and not based on "build.prop".
So, I hope now you have full explanation, and will be able to help.
Thanks!

Though, the problem is to know ROM's Android version , before I install it on the device.
So it is not a solution to my problem...
Ah, and that phone has an iPhone look menus , so there is no way to perform that trick, unfortunately...

Download the rom open it with 7zip and go to system-SW_configuration.xml
Open it with notepad++ and check the firmware.
The same thing you can do it with root explorer in your phone.
I don't believe he changed all the xml's just to make users believe is an ICS rom
To check for ICS:
Look at the file's /system/bin .
If it contains a binary called sh it's Gingerbread .
If it contains a binary called mksh then it's ICS .

Once you find out the dependent files (Re-read the guide) you take these files and package them in CWM flashable .zip not necessarily adding them into the apk file.

Oh man, I would love to be able to get the PixelMaster app back on my Zenfone 2 (I'm running Cyanogenmod 12). The default Google camera sucks horribly compared to the stock ASUS camera app.

Oh, really? That's kinda nice, although yeah the depth-of-field working would sure be nice. I'll have to try it out tonight. I can just use the .apk from the OP, correct?
Well I tried installing that .apk from the OP. Had to allow installation from unknown sources first, then after hitting Install, it asked me to give Google permission to send data and whatever else. Regardless if I select Accept or Decline, I always get an "App not installed" message.
Damnit, I was looking forward to using it! I think I'm gonna try stripping it from the stock ROM myself.

Alrighty, thanks. I actually was searching for PixelMaster .apk this weekend but didn't have much luck besides seeing a ton of frickin spam sites masking as legit .apk download sites. I'll do another search tonight.
Hopefully I can get the .apk to install. It sure would be nice to have the depth-of-field working, but after skimming through that thread linked earlier (How to Port OEM Apps to Your Current ROM) there's no way I can follow that. It's nice the guy put together a guide, but being unfamiliar with this stuff I need to follow something written in clear English.
I guess the ASUS Camera app was easier to find than I thought. The first time I tried it was nothing but spam site after spam site. Maybe it was Bing's fault, haha.
But I got version 2.0.0.150805_5 and it installed with no problem and works great. Thanks for your help, ejames2001, I appreciate it.
