Blockbuster on evo

Is it possible to get the blockbuster app off of the droid x and install it on the evo? There are a whole lot of movies on there and i don't know if there is a way to play movies on the evo. Also i want to hook it up to my hdtv and watch movies on there.

Yes it is possible to get off the droid but no it does not install.

Can you send me a link to the APK? I doubt it'll install with the traditional manner, but it may be able to be pushed.

Does not push either. I have tried. Also tried dlna as well. doing a few of the nonblur apps at a time to test.

now working on evo!!!
my friend said the market had the blockbuster app accidentally for a couple hours then they pulled it...saying it is not ready for other carriers yet...but he said it downloaded, installed and even worked!!!! (although, he said it force closes often and the quality doesn't seem that great) ...i am trying to get it from him, but it may take a while ...he is a noob trying to figure out how to get it and send it. any tips for him?? (we are going to try titanium backup)

I downloaded it yesterday and deleted it 10 minutes later.

All download links of the blockbuster app have been removed

i got it
i got it, it installed... and i activated (online though)...I EVEN RENTED A MOVIE!!! ok, but it wouldn't download so, no go. not many force closes...it said
" DOWNLOAD FAILED" ...No compatible profile available for download. My profile in the app is set at portable...but i must need some droidx permissions or something

Is there anyway to pull the permissions from the DroidX dump?? I have the original blockbuster app from that, along w/ the rest of the dump but have no clue where to look for the additional files that may be needed to install so it thinks i am on a droidx...if this is even possible.

How to update apps t-mobile added to G2 rom (bloatware)

how do I update apps like Amazon, photobucket, etc.? I can't update them from the market since I didn't download the from there in the first place.

download it from the market. Just try it. Download it, dispite it not shown in the market as an update. Once installed the phone and your market will see it as an update.

yep
First time I logged into the market, it autoupdated all the junk. Goggles and visual voicemail won't update but that's it.

Yeah, I didn't even find "Visual Voicemail" in the marketplace anymore.
I'm pretty sure that T-Mobile might have pulled it from the market entirely.
Anyway, I can't seem to update Google Goggles either. I've tried several times, but it never seems to actually update and install the latest version.
Would it be safe to use Titanium Backup to remove that system application? Or is that not even possible, considering I've read that people have tried to remove the "bloatware" but it just seems to reappear after a reboot.
Any insights?

Damn, no more HD2 huh?
Yeah you can remove the bloatware from your device. Well, disable not remove. Read on http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=809231

Ha.
No way, Jose!
I still have my HD2, it's just collecting dust on my computer desk right now.
I thought about using it as a fly swatter, but that seemed too dramatic!
KIDDING!
But yeah, that thing is legendary, so I couldn't just be rid of it.
And thanks for pointing me in the right direction man, good lookin' out!

If you don't want to disable the app which is very easy to do over terminal emulator, try freezing the app with titanium backup. That way you can see how your phone will work with it disabled. For example if you freeze/disable the stock messenger app no messaging app will work after that until you unfreeze/enable the stock one. Same thing with youtube. If you freeze the app and download the newer one off the market it wont work.
Some 3rd party app depend on the stock app to be functional. Let me know if you need help disabling an app. I'll make a video. I <3 my new camera. I traded a gun for it.

I can't seem to update Goggles...
I've disabled the application, then tried to update it from the marketplace, and still nothing manages to install.
I have successfully updated every other system application through the marketplace, with the exception of Goggles.
How can this application be updated properly?

Have you tried to enable it then update?

Yeah, of course.
But from what I've been told by a few other users... it's a bug in the ROM that doesn't allow certain handsets to update that application.
I mean, unless you have been able it?

Market unlocker

I just downloaded market unlocker on my ego 4g an I tried to install it following the instructions that was given but I still can't get it to work....can anyone out there that has gotten it to work help me get it up an running ?....thank you...
Sent from my PC36100 using xda premium

Never heard of it until now.Pretty neat little app.

Wtf is market unlocker? And why would one need it? Nothing on my market is locked, unless this tool is for kanging paid apps in which case shame on you, if you're gonna kang something atleast work for it and crack that ish manually lol

I'm going to assume it's like market enabler. Try that. I have used it a few times in the past to get some Verizon exclusive apps.
Boo

Just looked it up. Seems as if it will let u download apps that are not for your specific country or something. No use to me so not trying it out.
Not Sent

Sounds like something I don't need I have ways of getting what I need without some rogue app to do it lol
We are legion, for we are many.

Its not warez guys,its for people in different countries try new apps before they are released.
Market Enabler lets you access paid apps in Android Market
For some apps are just enabled for some specific country and not available to the other countries,so it is very difficult to download many high quality software.Market Enable lets you access paid apps from countries where paid apps are not yet available.

I had "Google Settings" app appear today also, and my internal storage has gone down from 243 to 231 mb. I can't find it with app quarantine or titanium backup either so I can uninstall or freeze it :/ Where did it come from?

It will eventually make its way to all devices. I first saw it appear on my nexus 7 this morning but not my sgs3, it wasn't until this afternoon.

Something to do with this.

This is supposed to work like the login with Facebook option on many websites it's basically so you don't have to come up with 5 billion user names and passes instead you just log in with Google plus to get onto a site. The settings thing is probably just a spot to adjust what is being used with what sites or apps.

You're joking right? Something as small as this pushing people away from the only real option as far as mobile OSs go? There's almost no going over to iOS from android and WM is still a bit of a joke. It's not even that big of a deal. All it is is an option for developers to integrate into their apps for people to sign into other stuff using their G+ account/profile/whatever you want to call it.

But if you realize, its not optional. You can't post a review using google account, unless its linked to google plus.

It's part of Google Play Services. Freeze it with TiBu and Google Settings goes away.
But, I'm sure some Google stuff won't work after that.
Though I was just able to update my Play Store apps and use Gmail with it frozen.

Hello titanium back up...
goodbye google+
I have no google + act, no fakebook either.
My memory is pretty good and I dont need google or fakebook deciding how i run my life or how many passwords i have.
Dont you realise that this is the number one thing anti hacking experts tell you:
Dont use just ONE pass word.
Thank god for custom roms and TBu.
Imho this is unecessary intrusion on my privacy... iknow i know its google privacy is a pipe dream, but i dont want to be forced into allowing app makers, software makers or others knowing when and where i sign in.
One big happy logging into everything family?
No thanks, and i know im not alone on this.

Been reading this right from the days of my college more than a decade back.. NEVER use same password for multiple accounts...
I consider this on lines of "one idea can change your life" applied to this as "one password can ruin your life".

While I agree for the most part I prefer these generic sign ins for things like forums or 9gag where there is no private info to be gained from getting into it and having a dozen logins and passwords for sights like these is bit unnecessary. In theory I can understand the idea for sights where purchases are made as well since you are logging on to the same account for everything there aren't dozens of places that have a credit card on file. However then you get into the one login problem and other security issues as well.

I dont mind that every thing google ie: play store, gmail, youtube, etc . Is all linked; but for an app or anything else that has no relation to said parent company, thats what bugs me.
Google doesnt need to know i opened up
TiBu and cooled off most of their aps like I was Mr Freeze. Google sure as hell doesnt need to know im playing atomic bomber.
I mean whether you realize/accept it or not, you are already automatically ALWAYS logged in from the first time you turn on or FR your phone. Either that or your logging into play store every single freakin time, not to mention the whole contact thing, sync etc.
I mean really google what more do you want from us?
I dont have a soul ( hey i got a good deal ) so not sure whats next.

First things I do:
1. disable backup to my google accounts when creating any of the google accounts
2. freeze out all google and samsung apps
3. disable ad mob for history based ads
4. Save my contacts on phone, and don't sync them to google

that thing appeared in my app drawer today as well and I was starting to freak out :|

Is using an app like Lookout even necessary?

How many people use apps like Lookout that scan your phone and supposedly offer ant-virus protection? Are they even necessary?

Don't think you'll find many that do. Other than corporate security reasons. All of is crackflashers don't stay on the same system long enough to warrant such a measure
Sent from my phone using xda premium.

I like lookout for the scream feature....my wife loses her phone all the time and if I send the code through lookouts website the phone makes a loud siren sound even when on silent or vibrate. As far as the antivirus I really dont use it

I use lookout not for the scanning feature, but for the lost phone/lock/wipe features.You never know when you might need it.

Not absolutely, i use Eset Mobile on the N4, used it for many years allready om my pc`s. Better safe than sorry. And always look at the permissions you are about to give to an app when installing.

I used Lookout for 2 years on my HTC Desire then decided to uninstall it about 6 months ago. Can't say I've missed it.
I've not put it on my N4.

Common sense, and checking permissions is much more important than an anti virus imo. Google play store already has the bouncer that scans all the apps. Most of these malware apps that users install come from people not willing to cough up a few dollars for apps and getting said apps from third party sites, and torrents often repackaged with malware, and imo it looks good on them. Support the devs, don't be so cheap, and pay for apps (not directing this at anyone here, just saying). Use the Playstore, or somewhere reputable like XDA and check permissions, there's no reason a wallpaper would need access to your contact list and private info ect. Never used an antivirus on a phone and i likely never will.

i use lookout because i need to install apks from other sources..
i need to install apks from other sources because google play does not allow apks like adaway..
i buy apps from google play.. but ads? no way..

i guess i wont be updating rom toolbox anymore

ROM toolbox adblocker was never as good as AdAway anyway.
As far as apps like Lookout go, I'd never use an anti-bvirus scanenr etc. I use Cerberus in case I lose my phone so I can track/find or wipe it.

waste of RAM and space for antivirus apps... dont pirate apps and just download apps/games from the play store and you'll be fine.
