Indeed. As a matter of course i install ROM manager, even if there is no support yet for my phone, and always run the 'fix permissions' option. It seems to greatly reduce these sort of failures.

Copy protection, won't work. Gameloft will change the buy system to make it redownloadable later if you have bought it.

Try reinstalling it with your phone in Airplane mode (no WiFi or data connection), launch the app, let it download the data (it will enable the required connection) then you should be away laughing...
Well, it worked for me.

Netflix App

Was able to get my Dinc to run the Netflix app with no issues. Pushed it over to my A101 and no dice. Anyone mess with this yet?
Here's a link to the APK in my dropbox.
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/17955245/com.netflix.mediaclient-2.apk
Any thoughts would be appreciated.
I installed and ran it fine but get "unsupported device" when trying to play a video. I found this link but I couldnt get it to work.

I have UrukDroid-1.1beta2 installed on my Archos 70 but should work with other ROMs if you are rooted.
You just need to open & edit /system/build.prop
I used Root Explore but any other root file editor should work.
Change ro.product.brand=archos
to
ro.product.brand=HTC Vision
and
ro.product.manufacturer=archos

I can confirm this working on A70S running Uruk 1.0 from internal memory. To help others, I used a terminal to gain root ($su), made a backup copy of the build.prop (#cp /system/build.prop /system/build.prop.bak), then copied the build.prop to / and changed the name to build.txt (#cp /system/build.prop /build.txt). Then I changed the permissions to make it writable (#chmod 666 /build.txt). Personally, I hate vi. So, I used astro file manager to open the build.txt file and edit it with the above changes. Then back in terminal copied the edited build.txt back to where it belongs (#cp /build.txt /system/build.prop) and restored the proper settings (#chmod 644 /system/build.prop) and then rebooted via holding down power and selecting reboot.
I only played with the streaming for a few minutes before work this morning. Seems decent. I am really looking forward to getting into it tonight. Thanks for the file changes!
UPDATE: I got a chance to compare the netflix app on my A70S compared to endgadget's walkthrough video on the Nexus S. The app runs, in my opinion, a little slow both loading the first time and in changing tabs or viewing information on a movie/show. But when I loaded my app while watching the Nexus S on the video load, they took about the same time. Same thing with everything else - very comparable times to switch between tabs or get information on a movie/show. As far as quality goes, I have not watched any video completely start to finish yet. But I have noticed some variance in quality. An episode from Season 2 of the Office looked a little pixelated but Austin Powers Goldmember looked nice. Both we very watchable though. The initial buffer took a few seconds longer than I would like but when skipping forward in the video, the video played rather quickly. Overall I am happy the app is out, and will use the crap out of it, but there is definitely some room for improvement.
Do we absolutely need root to edit the build.prop?
I know I can get the file to my PC to edit. I don't know if I need root to get it back...and I did the firmware update.

Anyone try Blood and Glory on Epic 4G?

I read an article about Blood and Glory and went to the market to search for it. I would not show up. I went back to the article and it had one of those barcode things, I scanned it and found the game. I downloaded it then realized it was like 37 megs but decided what the heck and let it finish. I noticed at the top it had a black bar that said the app was not compatible with my deivce. I tried it anyway when it finished and it actually plays very nice. Great graphics and runs smooth.
Now why would they say its not compatible but it seems to run fine. Are there other apps/games out there that I/we may be missing out on that will actually work on our phones? Just wondering if anyone has tried it to confirm that it also runs fine on their phones.
Jim Weda
If it says that its not compatible, how come the market let you download it? Or did you sideload...
Sent from my E10i using XDA App
When I scanned the barcode at the website I found the article at it gave me the option to open in browser. It took me to the Market. Here's the link if you want to see if it takes you there also. First try to do a search on your phone and see if it shows up. If not, scan the barcode at this website or if you want just go to this link for the market.
Barcode: http://www.androidpolice.com/2011/1...ng-blood-glory-is-infinity-blade-for-android/
Direct Market Link: https://market.android.com/details?...51bGwsMSwxLDEsImNvbS5nbHUuZ2xhZGlhdG9yX25yIl0.
I did just do a search on the Market using a web browser on my computer and it did show up but I on my phone when I saw this app.
Either way, when you get to the app page at the Market it says "This app is incompatible with all of your devices." At least it does on my Epic 4G. Give it a shot and see what it does on your phone or computer. On my phone I just hit download without reading anything because I saw the video on the resourced website. It started downloading. See if you can download it on your phone and see what happens. It should download if it did on mine. I can even take a pic of my phone to show that it is on there and I can load the app.
I've never tried downloading an up that says its not compatible with my phone. Maybe you can download it but it just won't work but for some reason this huge app does work on my phone. Let me know your results.
Jim
Doesn't show up on market search for me. The direct market link you provided works but it will not allow me to download it. I tried loading the page with wifi both on and off, though I haven't tried pushing it from the desktop site.
Looks pretty awesome btw!
Did you try using using the Barcode Scanner, choose "open browser" and then just click the download button right away?
This is the scanner app I used: https://market.android.com/details?...mNvbS5nb29nbGUuenhpbmcuY2xpZW50LmFuZHJvaWQiXQ..
after the scanner picked up the code I saw the open browser option and it let me download it.
I'm really just trying to understand why I was able to download it but other people can't. I'm going to try it again but try it on the one that is not [R] and will post back here.
Jim
I tried doing the same thing with the one that is less gruesome or bloody I guess and it won't let me download that one. This is really weird. Anyone know of any other apps that should not be compatible with the Epic 4G. I'd like to try and see if I can download any of those as well.
Also, is there a way I can upload a small video to show that it does work on my phone. I will do a short video with no cuts or breaks and show the phone itself, go into the system info to show I'm running the new GB 2.3.5 update and click on the Blood and Glory app and show that it play fine.
I just tried, no go. Looks l like a good game though.

dtruth313, would mind telling me why your Epic is not running the same update as the one pushed to us? I've been pushed EI22, 2.3.5 but yours is EG22, 2.3.4. Rooted or just a better update. With the Sprint logo I'm guessing you work there. My udate did a great job fixing my phone after constant headaches and pretty much a worthless since Aug 2011. Had a couple lock ups and minor reboots/shutdown but what seems to be cosistent cache build up every 2-4 hours and anywhere from 1 mg to 10 mg roughly which I have to wipe clean manually. I am not roote and don't like task killers. Been doing that since the update and can't pinpoint it to any one particular thing.
I started with clean phone since update and was adding one or two apps at a time to see if that was the culprit but it doesn't seem to be the case. Haven't heard of anyone else colpaining about . Any ideas of what might be causing that? Any help would be appreciated. Maybe I should create a thead to see if mine is an isolated case since all three phone I went through on {royo were total nightmares. Gingerbread is the only reason I'm still considering sticking around with Sprint a little longer.
Sorry to go off track but hey, I strted this thread. =)
Jim Weda
jimweda I am running the same update. ei22 gb 2.3.5. I apologize my signature is wrong I have not update it. But I have just started saw it in my market saying not compatible with device. Also it starts to freezes and now after I post it is no longer in the market.
I didn't really play the game, I didn't run into this incompatibility thing you all are. I played the game, it ran fine for the most part. Froze and Crashed one time.
Just played it again, ran fine. Looks pretty great, seems pretty repetitive.

Dammit...I guess this would've worked before MegaUpload got nailed and FileSonic flipped the f*** out and cancelled any file-sharing ability.
I even tried nabbing this game from Getjar. It also seems to think my Epic 4G is incompatible. The thing I don't understand is that I've been able to download and play this game before. Why would it end up being "incompatible" out of the blue?
I have it running it perfectly on my epic (cm7 and cm9)..you have to download the game from an online site..go to google..look up the current version in the market and google search it...the game runs perfectly finebut it constantly gets updates..whenever the game gets an update, you can't play the game..you are forced to update it in the market...which is impossible so I have to constantly play on airplane mode or google search for an updated version...the game is ok but really repetitive.
p.s. google search the name of "the game", the version and add "apk" at the end....or go to "4shared.com" and look it up
I just downloaded the apk, and then it played fine.... until it said I need to update it (which I couldnt)
not compatible with device
I get not compatible with device when i access the market via phone or computer. So I downloaded the apk from a file share and place it on my sd card via usb and computer. I then installed the game and all is good

Not for me, I'm on FreeGS3 R3 and it works better than my Snes emulator does
I use FPSE on a regular basis. It doesn't work as flawlessly as it does on Tegra devices, but it's certainly solid.
If you have it installed, try the following steps.
1. Go to manage apps, and clear data.
2. Uninstall
3. Re-install from the market
4. Upon opening, the app will ask you for a bios. You should already have the bios downloaded. If not, I have attached it. Remember to drop the .7z from the file extension. XDA won't let me upload it without this.
5. Before opening any games, hit back a couple of times until you get to a white screen, then hit it again to bring up the menu.
6. Switch to OpenGL before you do anything else. You lose some compatibility, but the difference with 3D games is staggering. Do this by going into CONFIG>MISC>SWITCH TO OPEN GL>DOWNLOAD FROM INTERNET. The app will need to restart. You can skip this step if you want, but your graphics will be dramatically better.
7. Open the app again. Once again press back until you have navigated to the menu. Do this before doing anything else. Change the following settings:
SYSTEM>
Check Fastboot on. This will skip the playstation boot up screen. The other settings in that option do nothing for the GS3 that I can tell.
AUDIO>
Check spusync, and enhance sound emulation. This will improve the sound, but if your game stutters or won't load, then you may want to choose null sound plugin. No sound, but better compatibility.
VIDEO>
I only leave 2 things checked here. Frameskip checked, with framelimiter UN-checked. Then check special framelimiter farther down. Leave everything else un-checked.
9. Configure the gamepad using gamepad. This will be personal preference, so no tutorial here.
10. Go to MISC>Save config as default
You should be good to go. Remember that it's important to not have corrupted ISO's. Also, video settings will stay the same across all games. Sound settings, and gamepad settings that are changed once a game is loaded, will be specific to that game.
If you can't get your game to load, try another one. If you can't get any to load, then you may be having a different issue. Hope that helps.
mine works fine, on cm10. stock settings. try downloading a new bios

[Q] Taking Screenshots on the OUYA

Has anyone found (or created an app) to take screenshots on the OUYA?
I know there's the ADB method, but I really just want an internal application of button setup of some sort; the ADB over WiFi is semi buggy for me and I don't want to disconnect my OUYA from the TV to attach to the computer (then I can't see the screen of course...).
Can anyone think of a method without ADB?
You may try and side load airdroid on to the ouya. The app has a screen capture option along with remove control of your android device from a web browser.
Ouya has multitasking disabled. When an app isnt running in the foreground, it is killed. Its a performance thing to make games run more bettererer. I dont think any screenshot app would work out well with this option turned on.

I thought this originally, too, but I've found it doesn't effect the performance too much. I've had multitasking on for 3-4 daays now (I use my OUYA every day for hours) and have seen very little difference.

As a side question, were do most people put their sideloaded APKs? So far all I have done is clickrd on them within my Box.com app and they just start.
I use the install directly feature of AirDroid, the apk is only temporarily transferred to the OUYA and then deleted after install, like as if you were downloading it from the Play store or Amazon market.

yeah but this isn't uncommon... some apps look for either wifi or mobile network and just won't work on the OUYA without Wifi. It's one of those things that dev's of those apps probably never thought of a Android device running with ethernet.

I thought this originally, too, but I've found it doesn't effect the performance too much. I've had multitasking on for 3-4 daays now (I use my OUYA every day for hours) and have seen very little difference.

When you say you've had multitasking turned on for 3-4 days what are you referring to Ive been trying to find a way to multitask applications on ouya with very little success I've been searching the web for hours and I landed on this thread because of your comment. Could you please elaborate i would be forever grateful? :fingers-crossed:

How does multitasking affect your performance?

It doesn't really at all honestly; though I have mine to only allow 3 background processes at 1 time. The only effect it has is on xbmc if you're watching 1080P with a heavy skin.
[Update] There is no screenshot app that I have found that works for OUYA (rooted, busybox, SuperSU); I resorted to adb over the network with https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.wmendez.adbovertcp and manually triggered screencaps from my tablet.

New to XBMC, what do you mean by "heavy skin"?

By "Heavy" I mean a big resource intensive skin. In the wiki I explained the skins that you should use with the OUYA, I tested as many skins as I could find and those were the only ones that are "Light" skins that produce little or no lag.

WOW, did not know it was you that started the XBMC Ouya Wiki. Good start. Are you still recommending the Gotham Alpha 1 version that you linked to in the wiki?

I didn't start it, Ned did, but there wasn't much there; him and I have been working to make it complete. And at the moment yeah it is still recommended ATM. All nightly builds after Aug 2 all have the libstagefright built-in and should work, but I haven't tested and haven't heard anything. I'll be testing builds next week though.
