Looking for some people that want to help me test the new option in my wish list app.
You will need to have:

- External storage available on the device like a SD card.
- Camera option on the device.
- Not have Wish l!st installed on the device from Google Play.
- Know how to install an APK from outside the Play store.

Thanks to everyone that has offered to help test the new update.
At the moment I have enough testers. So there is no need for new testers at the moment.

Hey
I've managed to root and upgrade my device to 4.1.2, and keep the signal (network discovery)
now, since I live in Japan my phone's model is Acro HD SO-03D (and not Acro S LT26w/i).
After rooting and flashing (excluding the baseband)... my phone details says its LT26w, I didn't mind much but it kinda restricts me from using various applications, I wanted to use HULU (Japan) and I've got a proper account but it says it can't play the videos on this device. (works fine on the PC)
I've check the site and Acro HD is on the list of playable/supported devices.
I think that because HULU doesn't recognizes the new device name, it doesn't play anything.
Is there a way to change it ? just the name of the device.
I've tried this:
http://www.droidiser.com/2012/11/change-device-name-android-version.html
but it didn't work. it just changes the name in the ABOUT PHONE section.
Thanks in advance :angel:
EDIT:
I found this but it didn't help me much
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2226181&highlight=device+name
I don't want to just see the name in the ABOUT page, I actually want to fool applications into thinking I have SO-03D.
Can I just make HULU ignore the phone type and play it anyways ?
EDIT:
Here's the reply I got:
Thanks for your prompt reply. I have confirmed that the latest Android version for Japanese Docomo Xperia acro HD SO-03D is (Android 4.0. / Build number: 6.1.F.0.128). And build 6.2.B.0.211 does not seem to be supported here in Japan. If you have made any changes personally like rooting, this won't be supported for viewing.
I am sorry for the inconvinience but please let me know if there’s anything else I can help you with this issue.
How can I fool the application into thinking I've got a downgraded version ?
beside changin' the stats in the ABOUT DEVICE page...
Dear all,
desperately I am looking for a solution for a kind of very stupid and annoying problem:
I bought my Sony z1 compact in China. Model version: M51, Also called "colorful" in China
This Phone has a for China modified Android version installed. Nothing related to google works.
Well, sure the search engine in the browser. But I need the calendar, play store, etc.
Now I am thinking, has anybody experience with this device? ( only find posts to D5503)
Would it be possible to just update it with an international version? (Android 4.4 firmware 14.3.A.0.681)
Do i need to root, unlock Bootloader, or should a "normal update" work was well?
Or any other suggestions how to proceed?
I come the Apple world, where a jailbreak is one download and one click, I rooted a Xiaomi 2s with some small difficulties, but this looks way more complicated with this phone.... So any help would be appreciated..
Thanks,
mic
solved!
Well, developers,
forums are something strange. I really thought that anybody had a suggestion, a thought, an idea or whatever... 70 views and not a single answer.
Interesting.
Sure i could figure out that a root would help of course, but for a newbie like me, all of the descriptions have gaps and require much more knowledge about it, so that there is still a huge risk to screw it up and to maybe not destroy the phone, but to make it not usable until another solution is found.
Since I needed the phone, for receiving calls and SMS, i needed to go the less risky way and in the end - risk was still there ( is the M51w restricted to china and will not handle the firmware of the D5503) I followed the guide on the
"xperiafirmware" page called "Sony XPERIA Z1 Compact D5503 - Android 4.4 - firmware 14.3.A.0.681" ( sorry, cannot post links yet)
I just flashed the Android 4.4 - firmware 14.3.A.0.68 made for the d5503 (according to the guide "1. how to install the newest Android 4.4 for Sony XPERIA Z1 Compact D5503") it worked with out any problems.
One thing that might be misunderstanding is the Flashtool.
After downloading the flash tool its not called "Xperia flash tool", it looks the same as the "androxyde flash tool", and there is a second one which is the " Sony flash tool that is called "Emma" but the flash tool.
So,... just use the one this author linked in his guide, and don't get confused by the names..
Now I have my problems firstly solved. But have to say that, with that some others come...
- Google account sync seems to be not really under my control
- two google accounts even more hard to handle
- and further settings very limited, so that I sometimes even have the feeling i was free with iOS. And the Xiaomi of course let me taste the complete taste of freedom.
- SD card management
- Walkman
- album folders
...
Well , I will figure that out as well.
Hope this post will help somebody!
Just my 2 cents... Downgrade back to android 4.3 I'm pretty sure some of those problems will be solved. And another is Chinese version of Z1C doesn't have LTE support and since you flashed an international version of the ROM LTE might show up in the settings but there's a huge chance it will not work or possibly cause errors. Phones made for chinese market doesn't have google installed because google is blocked in their country. Just a FYI Never noticed your post so I didn't get to assist you before this but seems like you made the correct choice on solving your problem.

Once you get fully up and running, you'll LOL like the rest of us reading that. In this kind of situation you are kind of on your own because until you've tried you'll never know and most of the People reading wont advise you to do something that could potentially hard brick your Phone. You've done what I would have done which is grab an ftf and tried it, not much more you can do.
Same problem
Hi Mic,
I want to follow your example with my Chinese Z1 Compact. Are you still around, in case I have some questions? Have you tried to fix the other problems you mentioned? Any new comments? I am going to try to understand the procedure but I would feel better if I could pick your brain in case I get stuck.
cheers

Hi there,
I am trying this Android Emulator MeMu since some apps won't run natively no more on my Xperia Z1 Compact.
So trying to connect to Play Store and what does Google want? "This device is unknown" and " We want to verify your identity" . What a bummer.
They seriously have no other option to get such a code, i.e. per mail. :crying: Dimwits...
So my question is: Am I correct in my research that such a code cannot be generated below Android versions 8 ?
Thanks a bunch!

I am not sure to understand you, but try Nox, I tested Memu, Bluestacks, Genymotion and Nox, the only one easy to use with no problems at all
I remember there being an Android Studio Virtual Device preset on the official LG Developer site. It included an emulator image which you could even use to simulate the Swivel Down/Up actions inside the Android Studio Virtual Device. I also remember downloading it then (5 months ago or so) but I don't have the files anymore.
LG seems to have taken the site down since then. I can't find any reference to the emulator image anywhere on the internet.
Does anybody know a place where I can find this image/preset or has anybody downloaded this image when it was available and would be willing to share it here?
hello, made an account just to share this. i was looking for the emulator image too and i ended up finding it. i put the LG developer website into the Internet Archive and went to the Wing page, but the link was blocked (needed an account). i copied the name of the executable (LGWingWinEmulator) and searched it on Google and found that someone uploaded the development resources here. hope this helps
