Unlocker not working on Jolla phone

[ozymandias]

Hi!

I have problems with the unlocker on my Jolla. Granted, this is not an ideal case, as the Jolla only emulates Android via AlienDalvik, but maybe there is some kind of solution.

I had previously installed the music player trial from an apk and everything worked perfectly. Then I bought the unlocker from Amazon, but it didn't work (claimed the trial wasn't installed.) I couldn't install the trial from the Amazon store, because it wasn't offered in my app. At that point I stopped doing anything for a time.

Today I used a workaround to install the Google Play Store on my Jolla and I remembered the Gonemad player and wanted to try it again. So I bought the unlocker from the play store this time, but when I activated it, it loaded for a few seconds and then closed. My trial still doesn't work. (and the Play Store page for the trial claims my device is "not compatible", though as I've said, it worked fine.)

I know the main problem is that I don't have a "real" android phone, but maybe there is some kind of workaround to get the player unlocked?

Thanks!

The amazon unlocker only works with the trial downloaded from amazon. The google play unlocker will work with gmmp downloaded from google play or from gonemadmusicplayer.blogspot.com/ . If you downloaded the trial from anywhere else, it may have been modified and had the signature changed. Pretty much the only requirement for the unlocker to work is that its updated and has the same signature as the trial. If you've already done this and it still doesnt unlock.. then whatever android emulation you have on your device is bugged (the signature matching is part of the android SDK). I am going to guess that the reason google play is not supported by your device is partly related to the signature matching not working

Yeah, that's probably it... thanks anyway!

Ah, I got it to work. Seems there were some leftovers of the previous installs of trial and/or unlocker, once I removed that and used the play store versions of both unlocker and player, it worked perfectly. Thanks again for this great player!

ah great! Good to know it all works through emulation
