You get it in the market.
Maybe you should use the search function.. just saying
I installed titanium back up and busybox like it asked but it still says not rooted. But busybox says its rooted.
Try installing SuperUser too.
thanks for that it works now. But for some reason when I try to uninstall creatouch it hangs and doesnt respond. Also anyone knw where the list of safe to remove applications are? Tried searching cant find it

That will keep reinstalling itself, so you need to also remove the apk from data/app-private with RootExplorer.

You can use THIS list as a guide, but everyone is different so what I might remove someone else may not and vice versa so use your own judgement when removing apps.

[sorry tried posting link, but im new and it doesn't allow me]
also do not touch the google stuff!!! specially gtalk. it's essential for communication between your phone and the android market, without it which you will not be able to download anything (as i learnt yesterday)
how do i remove them? with titanium backup? or a manual way? If so how?

With Titanium.
I wish you told me earlier. Now I have to reinstall everything.
I personally find that removing all the apps under the apps-private folder is the easiest and safest method. I just deleted them there and they are gone forever.
will try that out after my phone reinstalls. Oh well lesson learnt, so now ill be more cautious

That Link has the best solution...pick the apps you consider unwanted, move them to a temp folder, use your phone for a week, if there are no issues...rm the temp folder...
Before rm'ing, optionally you can do a backup of the temp folder to your PC, in case you need any apps later....
I find this method very reliable and issue-free
Long story short, i accidentally formatted my sd yesterday, which sucked, but i had an sd backup from when i had my cliq that still had the majority of my apps...so i performed my titanium restore but ONLY third party apps (cliq is 1.5, vibrant is 2.1...duh).
Ever since that, whenever i try to download from the market i get stuck at "starting download"....no one else i know who uses android is having this problem today.....so i went ahead and started new seperate google account just to test, and everything on that account downloads fine. WHATS UP WITH THAT?? on my regular i tried deleting cache and data but it didnt work (and yes, gmail and gtalk are open)
anyone have any ideas for me?

ACTUALLY if you read both posts, they are completely different. the Q&A post was to see if anyone else is having this issue....then once i determined that my issue is unique, i posted this seperate explanation and events leading up to my problem. each post had a different purpose and goal, but thanks for your wonderful and helpful input....oh, and of course, your investigative efforts, they should DEFINATELY make you a moderator!!!!!!
menu settings, show all, go to market and clear cache/data
go to titanium backup, menu, more, market doctor.
Reboot.
Should no longer have a problem. This is not UNIQUE

Wait, all the .apk files were on your EXTERNAL sd card? and not in data/apps?
Curious if running fix permissions would work... have you tried that via CWR?

i see you're running bionix fusion. did you flash the SSL fix provided in the OP? i was having the same issues for days before i realized i didn't do that. for some reason i thought it was included. anyway, hope your issue is as easy to fix as that.
My market issue all downloads disappeared today? I had uninstalled 2.2 version of the market but still same issue.

I guess i am along here ;-) Anyone knows how to fix this?
After the market fix has been applied I see most apps (including some that I know are protected) but not all. From my experience on the DroidX, this is usually an issue with the build.prop not reporingt a valid ROM to google.
For example, I can search on my DX for "wii controller ime" and find the app. My Archos 101 does not. (I side loaded it.)
If someone has a build.prop for an Archos Gen 8, that will see that send it my way please.
Can you tell me what you've changed in the build.prop of your DX?
ok, done:
I just took the fingerprint from a galaxy tab:

This sounds cool! Is there a way a non rooted device can get this? Perhaps by some installation.apk
Thanks
Definitly not possible without root. I don't know if it's even possible with temproot
Sent from my A101IT using Tapatalk
Yeah, basically you need to fool the market into thinking you have a certified device. Not an easy task from what I understand. If you have a rooted Android phone you can download te app there, then use Titainium Backup to get the apk off the phone and side load it on you Archos. At least tha is what I do.

Hi chulri,
I follow your instruction above by modifying the fingerprint in /system/build.prop, then did the same market fix as instructed by the gappsinstall thread, reboot. I still can't find the gun bros app.
What else I have to do? (I had 2.1.4 rw root installed before doing this)
Now "My Apps" list is gone in the Google Market, can I get the list back?
Update: ok, it works now. I have to clear cache, clear data, force stop and then run the Market again. Now Gun Bros also shows up, and My Apps list also populate.
I still can't find Heywire app, anyone can see this app after this mod?
I have used archangel to root, then used marketenabler app from the market,
no other steps involved.
I seem to see all apps now (not 100% sure on that) but, definately see some protected apps that I couldnt see before and havent come across any on my HTC Desire that the Archos isnt seeing now.

I also use MarketEnabler, but I can't see, at least, Gun Bros. Once applied this build.prop mod, I can see Gun Bros.

Hi chulri,
Can you provide a Guide of modify it?
Because I put my build.prop into /system to replace it, then force stop the Market and clean cache, then Reboot
the fingerprint will restore by itself????

[Solved]I think the Market Fix trick only work in old Market, it means you need to "Uninstall updates" after clean cache and force stop the Market.
Can someone please post up step by step how to edit the build.prop file ??
I've never done such a thing and I'm desperately trying to figure this out for a guide that I'm working on putting together..
I'm rooted (perma root) FWIW
Thanks a TON.
I use a file manager to copy the file to the sd and then connect to the computer via usb and edit with notepad++.. don't use windows notepad or wordpad as I've had problems with them. After the file is edited.. safely disconnect from the computer. Then I add .bak to the end of the original file and then copy the new edited file over to replace it.
I hope that helps. I believe there are also text editors in the market, but I like editing with a real keyboard.

Here: I"ve used the RootExplorer method detailed in this forum:
http://androidforums.com/droid-x-all-things-root/154976-2-2-market-issues-use-mod.html
Also to all: There are two states possible with the Market. Fixed if you the clear cache hack, unfixed if you do not do it or if you undo it...(to undo just do the clear Cache path but add clear data....no need to stop googleservicesframework and no need to reboot...just restart Market app and accept legal terms). The difference fixed state gives more apps but will hide some others from you: you get google maps, zeam, ADW, ...but you loose Google Earth, Flash Player 10, TVU, .... Jus to name a few. So the key thing is to know how to quicly switch from one state to the other. use the clear cache hack to get into fixed state and use my undo rootine (clear data) to revert the fix.
Once you add the fix to build prop you pretty much have now 4 possible states:
Please see my post below for my tests on the 4 different states and some conclusions
http://forum.archosfans.com/viewtopic.php?f=63&t=48312
Here's how to very easily undo the fix if you need to...
..Once you've done the Market fix you do not need to reinstall Market to go back to state before applying the fix. Once you do the Market fix you will gain access to few more apps but many apps requiring froyo will no longer show up anymore: that's the case of apps like TVU, Flash 10, .... (there must be many more). I suspect the market fix makes the device and generic device but not a froyo one.
To go back an forth between the fix and the original state all you need is to do this;
go to Settings --- Applications --Manage Applications ---Running -- Market ---Clear Cache ----Clear Data --Force Stop--Relaunch Market ---Accept Terms and Conditions ---
Voila. and you're back to the original State where you can find flash 10 & other froyo only apps.
If you do the the fix...you loose flash ..but gaine other apps...the fix skip the Clear Data steps ...and the Clear Data step will undo the fix. THe fix requires reboot..To undo it you do not need to reboot and do not need to stop googleframework.
I do this fix and after seach keyword "adnroid" i get about 143000 apps.
Is it ok?

Yes, that's fine...you good...fixed state, fixed buld.prop
but note you may still not see some apps with are available in unfixed state, fixed build.prop (like TVU, Google Earth, Adobe Connect, flash 10.01,..)
That's the con of fixed state...you gain some you loose some....
Ok, so I installed Droidsail to try and move my large games to SD card on my S4 to free up some space.
It didnt work, so I uninstalled it. before I uninstalled it I had changed a setting to 'install new apps on SD card'
Now I'm getting an error: Insufficient Storage Available whenever I try to update or install an app.
This includes trying to re-install Droidsail to fix the setting.
I also tried to install Rom Toolbox, and I successfully installed that!
But superuser is out of date so I cant use it to change the setting
Cant update superuser... see error above.
So does anyone know a way to install an app completely manually? Not involving clicking 'install' at all? or another fix?
Can you flash to stock?

Go to the development section and use the search function to find the stock factory ROM and directions to install it. I also suggest you take a lot more time to learn about Android (and the S4 in general) before you do anything else. Good luck.

8 minutes between my suggestion of going to the development section and searching you replying you couldn't find it isn't a very good attempt.
However, you need to restore your phone to the original factory firmware that is supplied by Samsung for the AT&T S4 (i337). There most definitely is a complete thread about this in the Development section. Take a little time and you might find it. I'm not trying to be mean, but if you are not willing to take a little time to look for information and learn about your phone you are only going to screw it up worse.
I doubt you are an idiot (as you stated you might be), I just think you need to learn a little about how these phones work before you end up with a really expensive brick. Good luck.
Try Kies (just as bad an app as iTunes lol)

Yep I would just try this if you can't do ADB or anything like that. Or just go to settings > Accounts > Reset.
I'm about to destroy my phone and go back to iPhone 5 because that didn't constantly make me want to destroy everything around me.
I wanted to side-load an app. I just unlocked my bootloader and rooted it and was re-installing my apps.
When I go to install an app it says that there is no more space. the file is 4.85mb and I have 12GB of storage left.
I tried:
-Re-booting
-Installing other apps (which works)
-Clearing the cache
-Downloading Trail from PlayStore (I get the same result)
NEW:
-When plugged in via USB to my PC, device doesn't show up under "Computer" [Running Windows 7 x64)
What I did:
I backed up my phone and wiped the whole thing because I was running out of time last night
Thankfully Foxnov1990 and ImbaWind's tips worked. I restored the original backup and it solved my problem. Thanks so much! Love ya guys! :victory:
AFAIK my friend and I don't have this problem with our N4 and my friends don't have this problem with their GNEX.
Btw this is a N4 forum.

I get the attitute, but you might wanna at least try to be friendlier as we're just here to help.
But On-Topic: have you tried this?
File explorer (app)
Go to /data/app (in System (root))
Del this line
com.maxmpz.audioplayer-1.odex
I've had it before that on stock ROM (aka unlocked bootloader and rooted) which means that it's not DEodexed that some Odex files were left behind. Which means that whatever you try, as long as that file is there, you won't be able to install the app. (shouldn't happen but it's possible in rare occasions)
Hope it helped.
If it didn't help and the Odex file is not there, see if you have Lucky Patcher installed, deinstall it (it sometimes holds on to odex files), and try installing PowerAmp now. Then reinstall Lucky Patcher

Honestly, I have installed and deinstalled the app more than you can possibly imagine... and I've nearly never had issues with reinstalling.
And when I did get issues it was Lucky Patching (having patched the app) that was holding on to the odex and I couldn't delete it till Lucky patcher was deinstalled.
So not sure what **** you mean but there was always an easy solution for me

Oh yep, always happen when I use lucky patcher to removed the app's ads !
I've run into a similar issue before.
I've had similar issues when I've removed an .apk using adb or root explorer without removing its associated .odex file.
Use root explorer and try to find an .odex file that has the same name as the package that you are having trouble installing.
There are some cache cleaning utilities in the Play store that might assist you as well.

Good luck. Also, try to approach asking for help in a more mature manner in the future. You are not entitled to hack a device then complain when something unexpected happens.
