Guest mrrog Posted October 10, 2012 Report Posted October 10, 2012 Got my device today; can someone tell me the issue around modifying the play store, is the selection available the right ones for the machine from a technology point of view, or is it just an accident of the target market, China?
Guest netgroover Posted October 10, 2012 Report Posted October 10, 2012 I have the same issue, how do you get the play store to install uk-only apps?
Guest mrrog Posted October 10, 2012 Report Posted October 10, 2012 http://armtvtech.com/armtvtechforum/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=4&sid=b3ab293e506cc498bd64c40781261553 Here is a link, seems to be two methods being suggested but not sure I want to if I end up having a load of incompatible apps, hence my question, just want to know what the incompatibility really is?
Guest netgroover Posted October 11, 2012 Report Posted October 11, 2012 I don't think the apps will be incompatible as such, looking at the posts (I'm no expert) the fix seems to declare the device and carrier you are using as being something else. So you set it to a similar (non-chinese) device in terms of chipset and a US carrier, and end up with the US Play Store? Can anyone confirm this?
Guest mrrog Posted October 11, 2012 Report Posted October 11, 2012 Not even sure the fix is necessary, isn't it the case that if you access the store using a browser instead of the store app you can see all apps and it tells you download ability and compatibility, but you can still have a go at downloading to your device of choice?
Guest netgroover Posted October 12, 2012 Report Posted October 12, 2012 I tried that, it shows the ug802 and my htc desire, but it won't let me select the UG802 to deliver the app to.
Guest netgroover Posted October 14, 2012 Report Posted October 14, 2012 There is of course the workaround where you download apps to another uk device and then go to your Apps on the UG802 Play Store and install from there. Looking forward to a permanent fix as iplayer app doesn't appear to work.
Guest mrrog Posted October 15, 2012 Report Posted October 15, 2012 on the finless bob rom thread over at freaktab there appears to be a solution to this, basically delete the installed iplayer and re-install an earlier/another version, haven't bothered myself mine seems to work fine but it might just be its coming through the browser!
Guest mrrog Posted October 31, 2012 Report Posted October 31, 2012 just applied deadhp1's fix to the play store, bit of faffing getting the apktool to run, and then copying files into the new .jar file, but its all learning
