Is there an easy way to get banadroid-market? Does it do any device/region checking?

Use QR DROID on the page with your phone

press the blue button with the arrows which will start apk download

after that it is possible to download the free stuff but you'll need to make an account, which requires Google translate unless you're fluent in Japanese.

I tried to actually buy the game with my card but it rejected it, so maybe it might work with you.

When I try to install the .apk for that "bandandroid store" it tells me the generic "Application not installed" error, is there anyway to force the install of it? I tried unarchiving the .apk but the folders that it gives to not seem to be identical to the ones that appear in root, so I am not sure where to manually put the stuff.

Maybe it checks that it's an unsupported phone, but I am not sure what to do.

I am able to install, however, an error message in Japanese pops up every time I launch it

I can tell you for sure it has nothing to do if you use market enabler and change it to DOCOMO, more likely your phone type isn't supported which is strange since my Xperia Play works fine. All I can say is just try using a friends phone if you can and see if it works.

I found this crazy app searching the other day, if you search for "madomagi_ip" in Google. You will get two links one for the andorid market link and the other for a mediafire link for the app (which you should be able to download since the app is for free in the market ).



Here's the kicker, you can download it fine from mediafire and it works great on my phone, but it has the exact same issue as Katamari if you try to get it from the android market. Really weird and I hope in some way it can solve our katamari problem

hey guys , this is demo of english Katamari

>>>>DOWNLOAD FROM MEDIAFIRE<<<<

this let you play just a limited time coz its just a demo , but if you check its size wich is same like full version , it could be possible to remove the demo time limit!!

at the moment this apk is able to run in combination with samsungApp - store installed and ofcourse on all new samsung Android Phones wich have the samsungAPPs

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
just i can tell u , i suggested the way wich worked for me ,, ofcourse there can be alot of other ways possible to download this

HOW I COULD DOWNLOAD KATAMARI AND TAIKO WITH ANOTHER DEVICE[OWN RISK]
-------------------------------------------------------

---edited the build.prop (7 changes) of an rooted LG-p920(OPTIMUS 3D) running stock 2.2.2 Froyo Rom (build.prop is located in /system/...)

>>> 

Code:

	
	
ro.build.id=S7140

ro.build.version.sdk=10

ro.build.version.release=2.3.3

ro.product.model=SH-12C

ro.product.brand=DOCOMO

ro.build.description=SH12C-user 2.3.3 S7140 01.01.01 release-keys

ro.build.fingerprint=DOCOMO/SH12C/SH12C:2.3.3/S7140/01.01.01:user/release-keys
-installed marketEnabler,Zipsigner(2),and old 2.XX.X Market (newer one need to be uninstalled first)

-turned off the phone and removed the USIM-Card

-turned on/booted the phone and checked if changes was overtaken

-pushed all the files of filesforkatamariandtaiko.zip into phones internal storage with rootexplorer (see how its installed on the SH-12C!!i already made it in its Folder-structure , so it should be easy for you to push with one action!)

-set MarketEnabler to 44010 for DoCoMo

-checked the webmarket if i can install it! 

and this worked for me and i could download taiko and katamari!
(katamari could not be installed so i got the apk from cache of the phone!)
(taiko was installed well and runs except resolution difference without problems)

I LOVE YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!! Works on my Xperia Play, you deserve a freaking medal my good sir. All we need now is a way around the time limit and SHE WILL BE OURS!!

Thanks, works fine on my Incredible 2 with miui. It just installed fine as a regular .apk and seems very functional and the game works. Thanks!

Temporary Workaround

---

Okay here is what I did to be able to play the demo to my hearts content.

Note: Need root access to continue
1 - Download GameCIH apk from here http://www.cih.com.tw/gamecih

2 - Next open the program and set up a Hotkey you will use to access the cheat app

3 - Next press home screen and open up the katamari demo but dont enter into the demo

4 - When its open sarch using GameCIH in "input name" for the word "timeout"
you should get a list and at the bottom should get something called "sRestrictionCurrentLauncherTimeout: 180000"

5 - click on that value and and modify to 999999999

6 -Now enter the demo and search for a new name. This time just type "time" you should find your first value is "mLastGcTime" all you have to do is lock this value and you should be good to go

I was able to finish the first level and continue to the second, but once you leave and enter the demo more than twice you're locked out so this is only a temporary solution.

Hope it helps

UPDATE 1

I found two values, one called sCurrentLaunchIndex (which i will call XX) and the other is sRestrictionMaxLaunchIndex ( ill call ZZ). ZZ is automatically set to 3 and XX increases every time you enter the game. So if you enter 3 times the third time locks you out. If someone is able to change this restarted ZZ value into 99999999 permanently then we should be good to go, at least i hope so.

UPDATE 2

If you get locked out of the demo you can get back in, simply find sCurrentLaunchIndex, its value should be three but change it to 0. Now will see the demo is still locked out, but if you have a WiFi connection click Try More Games let it load the games then go back out, the demo will no longer be blocked out you can continue the game from where you last left off, i'm already on level 3!!! NOTE you still need to fix the timeout issue like before.

Now if you would excuse me I need to play some Katamari :3

Great game.

I just chose buy game, paid w/Paypal and now the game is unlocked.
