[Q] Fake location to get extra features? - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I want to know how to make device as from -for example- US to get extra features for applications, such as Shazam LyricPlay (its only working devices from US, and few other countries).
I have a Nexus 7 tablet too, and I use a custom rom which has US market inside, so I can read books etc whenever I am, and I can use shazam LyricPlay too in my tablet. I want to know hot to achieve same thing for my SGSIII because shazam lyricplay is a cool feature. I have tried market enabler kind applications, fake location applications which didn't work.
So please if anyone knows, it will be apreciated.
Thanks.

I'm also interested.Anyone know how to do this?

[Q] Why Google Apps don't Install in Some Countries?

Many of Google's Android apps (YouTube, Maps, Latitude, etc) are not available in my country (Jordan) among many others, with the infamous "This item cannot be installed in your country".
I know the workaround to get them, but just wanted to see if anybody out there has knowledge of the reason for that, it just doesn't make sense to me.
up, any idea?
All I can say is that developers have the opportunity to set the countries where their app is downloadable. I don't know why it is good for google to disable downloading it in your country, but it can be anything. They could forget to include your country in the allowed list (this was the problem with the xda premium app, I wrote to the developers and they corrected it), I can imagine political reasons too, and there could be many others.

Must have APPS??

Hi everyone
Just wanted to ask, what are your must have apps?
I need some ideas for new apps. The only apps (except the XKCD viewer) I could think of are listed in the core apps and I don't feel like joining these projects just yet.
So if you have any ideas or if you know some Android or iOS apps which could be ported leave a comment.
1. An IM client like Empathy
2. A Wallbase application/or anything that fetches nice HD wallpapers.
3. An application to watch anime
I had a similar question earlier, you might be able to mine something from those that answered
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2105374
The main app most people wanted was What's App, but I saw that some one else has been developing a client for it.

Airdroid, sound hound, projectM, photo editor, IP Cam Viewer, team viewer, Xtremlabs Speedtest, Phone Ringtone, Angry Birds, Tango Remote
I think the drawing/photo editing APP is great idea.
When i have time i'll sketch something up and make a new thread.
What about a sportstracker app? Endomondo is awesome....something like that or a client for endomondo.

It is my firm belief that we should have an APP INSTALL client that seamlessly installs apps FIRST! Then let the DEVS roll out the suggestions. What's the format anyway? not APK I would guess. I think a nice APK converter would work nicely then.

- What the heck is an APK? (That's only for Android and has nothing todo with linux, yes I said it android has nothing todo with linux )
- There are many ways to install an app.
-> you can install a .deb file
-> add a ppa our use the official repos and install via consol
-> build the binarys from source....
Currently someone is working on an "app store" but this is not a priority since ubuntu touch is still in pre alpha.
P.S. I am a DEV and I need some Ideas that's why I started the thread.
Some way to access Pandora One. I listen to some 300 hours a month, so it's definitely a requirement, not a 'want'.
Statement form pandoras website
We are deeply, deeply sorry to say that due to licensing constraints, we can no longer allow access to Pandora for listeners located outside of the U.S., Australia and New Zealand. We will continue to work diligently to realize the vision of a truly global Pandora, but for the time being we are required to restrict its use. We are very sad to have to do this, but there is no other alternative. ....

A Pandora client sounded like a good idea but "this" makes it rather impossible
Hope you'll find some dev's located in the us that can help you with that.
I'm personally worried about not having an app to track and control my phone in the event it's lost or stolen. An Ubuntu touch UI for Prey or something to that effect would be awesome.

[IDEA] Wine Android program loader

I have an idea for an app that is basically am anroid emulator. It doesn't emulate Android, it emulates free Android apps (can't do paid because that would be warez.) You can only use apps that you downloaded from the emulated play store (if possible)

We'd be using dalvik and java. One thing Ubuntu Touch has stayed away from.

That would be nice!
Do you think it would be realistic for someone to create a computer application that would do most of the app-porting work for the developer?
My take on this...

My take on this is that first off by the time we implement this is in everyone will be mostly using ART. The application can work by emulating a specific Android device with all it's hardware features.
Although we should support both ART and Dalvik for legacy reasons. Not all applications/games I have bought have been from Google Play, Humble Bundle for example allows you to download .APK files direct. I was thinking that we could implement a loading system where you could load the .APK files directly into the application for Dalvik/ART to run it. Also at some stage it should be able to emulate different processor architectures including Tegra and Snapdragon as some games are exclusive to these architectures.
Since the emulator would be set on hardware we could probably trick Google Play into thinking it was a specific and allow us to downloads apps and games direct without question. As well as sideloading.
For me I do want this because I have a feeling that I do still want to play my Android games and run my Android applications even when I am fully into Android. Most of the Android technologies are open, so I can't see any huge reason why this can't work out technically.
Sorry my ideas are all over the place, new things kept popping into my mind of how to do this. I don't feel confident about coding this, but I have a rough idea of how all the pieces would connect together.
I'd love to see this, but it sounds very complex to implement. I know I'd move to Ubuntu ridonkulously fast.

[Q] Disguise phone as a tablet (to apps)?

Hey.
I just wondered if there would be any way to dsguise my phone as a tablet for starting an app in another mode...
I know it can depend on several things, but could it be done somehow?
I'm thinking about this: spotify free is now available for phones and tablets, too.
For phones it is limited in function, but for tablet devices it's free like the version for desktop computers.
So I want to make spotify "think" that my phone is not a phone but a tablet, to use full functionality of spotify free.
Here's an excerpt from the news:
The new tablet version of Spotify will mimic the free desktop app by allowing users complete control over what music they choose. The free smartphone version, available for iOS and Android, will allow users to shuffle randomly through their own playlists, playlists by friends and artists’ catalogues. Users won’t be able to select individual songs on demand with the mobile version, and neither the tablet or mobile apps will let people download songs to their device, a feature of the premium version of Spotify. The new features will be available today.

Edit the build.prop ? (make a copy/backup before you do). This is a workaround for many apps, such as Foxtel (pay TV) Go in Australia. It only works natively with the SGS3, Note 2 & Note 10.1, but if you edit your build.prop to fool the app & hide root before you use it, you can use it on other Android devices.
This may/may not work with the Spotify app, and will depend on what it checks to determine whether that version of the app is acceptable to use on a particular device (checking build.prop is a common one though).
There is another discussion about trying to get Spotify to display in the tablet mode here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2565626
Unfortunately, none of the common tricks have worked so far (build.prop, DPI, denying access to phone state, etc.). Noone has yet to figure out how the app determines whether you are using a phone or not. If you have any ideas or information to contribute, please add it to the thread I posted the link to so that we can all use that information to hopefully figure out a solution.
