Try temporarily disabling root? Just tossing what may be a useless idea, a more effective one, still not guaranteed mind you, would be to change your device on build.prop

Sorry I misread, you need a modified apk, I thought you were talking about the app

What does the modified apk do, and where do i get it

I haven't seen one in quite some time, its hex edited to remove what ever it is that tells the flash player you are using android, you might find it on modaco but it could be out of date

I got a modified flash APK from Captian. The phone won't let me attach it from the zda app, I attach it later tonight.

Did was it an install or did you have to move it to data/apps? If you moved it yourself, check permissions they should be rwx rxx rxx and restart the phone

If you install it the normal way there is no need copy it to your file directory or change permissions
Maybe its out of date or they changed something on their end

Did you try clearing data on flashplayer then uninstall flashplayer. And try installing the apk normally.
I originally had issues installing this on stock Rom, not sure why, I finally got it working by flashing stock with goodies, then just installing the apk normally.
I am using dolphin set to desktop mode

Hulu is free hulu plus is a pay service, the modified flashplayer apk, mirrors a pc flash version, so u can trick the hulu site unthinking ur sitting at a pc and it will allow u to stream free content, basically the last 2 episodes of any show

Orginel Facebook on Tab 10.1 This one works fast and great on the Tab

http://www.freewarelovers.com/android/download/temp/1305810095_Facebook_for_Android_1.5.4.apk
Oke i know that the origenel Facebook from the market doesen't work that well on the Tab.
So i have tryed to install an old version of Facebook, wiche i have also on my SGSII, This version is the only one for me that gets all the newsfeed etc!
So i dowload the Facebook.apk (1.5.4) Then i used root explorer to move the apk.file to system/apps, then i clicked on the file and choose install!
It works great on my tab 10.1 (GT-7510) its works smooth and fast!

Stay tuned...It might just be one of my settings somewhere, give me a minute.
EDIT 2: Yep it was, I fixed it.
Looks like its working great, thanks for the download.

I find it easier to just adb install it since my GT is already connected to the computer and I'm on the computer. No need to take all the extra time to move to SD card, open an app, move the file to system, then install it.
For those of you who don't know how to do this:
1. Connect the device to your computer with USB Debugging enabled
2. Open command prompt and type "cd c:\android-sdk\platform-tools" (or wherever your Android SDK adb files are)
3. Type "adb devices" and make sure it's reading your device
4. Put the .apk into the root of your C: drive if you haven't already. (of course you don't HAVE to if you know what you're doing and are comfortable doing it)
5. Type in command prompt "adb install c:\Facebook_for_Android_1.5.4.apk"
6. Wait for it to install successfully, unplug your device, and you should have the App in your App Drawer.
Note1: If you already have a facebook app installed, you might have to uninstall before doing this.
Note2: Don't add the quotes when typing in Command Prompt, just type what's inside the quotes.

I havent had that issue. Being rooted shouldnt change anything because it doesnt need superuser permissions.
Well first i instald it like the normal way, it worked... Except the notifications, when i looked furthure i saw that the apk file did't show up in system/apps.
Show the instalation worked but diden't push the file tru!
So then i removed the app, and thoke the apk file and copy it to system/apps by using root explorer. Then i clicked the apk file in system/apps and select instal, basecly its same instalation but now youre sure the file is pushed where it shoud be right?

Correct. Does it work fine after doing that?
Why would it matter at all if you install this normally or push into system/app? I don't think with an app like FB that it matters...installing the apk normally seems to be the same as getting it from the Market..
best FB app is the browser. no need for an extra app to access FB, IMO.

Time Warner Cable app for ICS (Fixed for Rooted Users)

TWC just released the app that will allow you to stream the live TV shows from your phone. I got really excited to watch Game of Thrones.
But when I try to launch the app. It says it does not run on rooted device. WTF?
What is the difference between rooted or unrooted device when it comes to TWC app?
I tried to unroot with root keeper to run the app with no luck.
Any suggestions or workaround to get it working?
Update: Thanks to b00sted now rooted users can benefit from Time Warner App

I can confirm this on Epic 4g touch (rooted)
Same issue here. Rooted Hp touchpad running 4.0.4. When you launch TWC app and choose Live TV it will state "TWC tv is not supported on rooted devices"

I'm sure it will be in time. Timewarner lol..
confirmed here on Verizon Galaxy Nexus. Hope someone fixes this. You also have to have USB Debugging disabled, AND be on your home network (which means Road runner is also a requirement).
EDIT...
Turns out the TWC app only checks for the presence of /system/app/superuser.apk. A quick rename of superuser.apk and it works fine. A simple script can be written for this to toggle it.

Ah ok, cool.
If you use the app 'GScript' which is in the market, you can write a script and add a widget to your homescreen to execute the rename and to reverse it. Makes it real easy to go ba ck and forth.

Anyone else seeing ever so slight lag? Kinda like a jitter.. I'm wondering if this is due to rom/kernal or if it's just cause it's the first version.
Does this help?

Thank you everyone for clarification. Some Driod-life members reported that clearing cache helps too. I have not tried it myself yet but it is worth a shot.
Quote from D-L: We have seen a user submitted tip that if you wipe the application’s data in your app settings menu, that could clear up the issue. It’s worth a shot, so give it a try if you have been having this trouble and let us know if it works or not.

I wonder if they've patched this already. I just tried, and it didn't work. Rebooted. Confirmed renamed APK. Cleared data in manage-apps. Still no go.
The only ICS devices I have are third-party (and rooted) ROMs.
Is there a problem if I have the superuser.apk file name?
renamed com.TWCableTV-1/smali/com/TWCableTV/androidphone/a/a.smali: const-string v1, "/system/app/Superuser.apk" to ****TimeWarner.apk and then renamed C:\Android\apktool\com.TWCableTV-1\smali\com\TWCableTV\androidphone\Login\Activities\SplashScreenActivity.smali an TWCHomeActivity.smali had root set to true so change the true to false and no luck.. I am shooting blind here so any help would be great
Looking forward to a fix.

No, it's not in the play store if you're running ICS, most likely because it is not listed as compatible. However, the apps often work fine anyway.
It's the same for "LBE Privacy Guard" for example, you will only find it in the market for Android 2.X devices but not on Honeycomb or ICS. If you get the apk, however, it installs and runs fine on all devices.

I just gave it a try, downloads fine on my linux machine.
On my phone, I usually use Dolphin browser but I also do have Firefox Mobile installed. Although Firefox is fairly slow and I prefer to use Dolphin for my main browsing activity, it usually is able to display/do most of the stuff that the other browsers have problems with. So whenever I get graphical glitches, unresponsive links, failed downloads, etc. I usually give it a try on Firefox. Maybe that might work for you, too.
the free version is in my rom.
Hahaha That file from Media Fire wasn't even the actual application. I'll just nand back to gingerbread (a long task for s-on...) then copy the apk to my sdcard. Unless someone else can just post their .apk real quick?

[THEME] HD Beats Music.apk 12/21

Hey everyone, until I learn how to actually mod things, I'm starting out with themes.
Here is something I made just really quick last night to help clean up that tacky red theme for the music app.
If you like it awesome, if you want something else, let me know, these are just fun projects I'm doing and the music.apk won't be the only one.
~To install you will need to use es file explorer or any other root browser.
~Copy the apk and paste it into the system/app folder (make sure u delete the other one first).
~Make sure to longpress on the app once its moved and go into properties/permissions and make sure every box is checked this way the system know to override install.
~Go into ur recovery and Wipe Dalvik/Cache and reboot.
~Once rebooted, the rom should re-optimize all apps including the music.apk.
(If you still don't see the music apk don't worry this happens to me as well and I think it'll happen this way until we get the RUU drop that has auto overried .apk permissions)
Try going back into the permissions in the app and make sure they are all checked off then reboot.
If that doesn't work make sure all permissions are checked then Wipe Dalvik/Cache again and it should work.
http://db.tt/py2SOiHv
*UPDATE* Looks like the widget isnt attaching at all to the system which means I perolly wont be able to get this going until the RUU is dropped with full permissions.

Did you manage?
I think it would be prudent to have a specific subject related to Spotify for this. I feel that many apps use DPI as the indicator for tablet mode (ex. Gmail) so I'm not sure what Spotify is doing but I am also curious. I will check on my TF201 and report in.

My guess is that it looks at the build.prop, don't really want to mess with it, because I probably don't know what I'm doing.

Already tried. Didn't work. Also tried Market Helper to spoof my device and that didn't work either.

Hmm, maybe there are separate tablet apks?

Doubt it.
Yeah, I am also curious about this, I guess spotify somehow reads build.props. someone must be able to crack this.
If someone discover how to do it, please share.

I tried to remove permissions READ_PHONE_STATE and it doesn't load....
Also tried device spoofer app, doesn't work.
Must alter device ID ... How?

There aren't unless they are using the same version number for two different apks which is very unlikely.

I tried adding tablet to the ro.build.characteristics line but that didn't work.
The apps are the same except for the shuffle mode.

I have been messing with DPI settings using App Settings and denying access to Phone State using XPrivacy and no luck.
I decompiled the apk and did a string search for tablet but didn't come up with anything promising.

I have another thread about this in HTC One forum..
This was one person's recommendation:

Try xposed app settings, it should allow you to change the dpi for the app itself, similar to pa per app settings, without messing with the actual dpi of the phone

There isn't because neither my phone and tablet got an update on the market when the new features were released.. it was all aready coded in- and i think its just reading the hardware config and enabling features remotely.
EDIT: I JUST COPIED THE APK FROM MY TABLET TO MY PHONE, IT DID NOT WORK

Confirmed, just tried this before searching the forums (and ending up here haha),
I bricked my phone a little today editing build.prop. had to reflash. Lol.
I jst tried to change ro.product.model and ro.product.id, didnt work.
I'm using Paranoid Android on my Nexus4. I tried to us PA's Hybrid Settings to set the per app DPI for the Spotify app too 600p, which will force many apps to switch into the tablet layout. However, I did not have any luck getting Spotify to change into tablet mode. I also enabled the Force and Large toggles, which is necessary to force tablet mode for some apps, but didn't have any success with that either.
My best guess then is that Spotify determines what kind of device you have from the android.permission.READ_PHONE_STATE, wich provides the device ID.
I have no clue about how these things work, but if the Spotify app is installed on a tablet, the read phone state permission, what happens with it?
LOL. goddaMNit, this thing is really annoying, and also, i have very nice playlists on Spotify so I don't mind the shuffeling But still, i'm kinda obsessing abot this thing.
Can somebody try performing a Titanium Backup of the app on their tablet and then installing it on their phone, data and all? I have a Nexus 7 but it's not rooted and I don't plan on rooting it any time soon.
