So, downloaded pTerminal from the market.
YAY! ps and kill aren't blocked!
If you want to manage tasks enter command "ps" view the tasks.
If you want to kill a task type "kill <pid>"
Fun times... Finally, I can kill the tasks that are syncing and using gps etc in the background.
Edit: If you are interested in killing tasks to preserve memory, you should know by now that the memory management is automatic. There is no need to kill tasks to free up memory. If a task is doing something you don't want it to do though (i.e. eating up battery by doing unnecessary **** in the background) then by all means use this method to kill it for now.
I would like to see a comprehensive task manager in the future with not memory usage, but awake time for the app listed, network usage and a combined "Battery Usage" figure using all the other data...
That's good news. I wonder if "killall <appname>" works as well?
Har, looking at the process list there's a few on here running as root... buffers? Yes I do think so.
Good find! I'm sure a real task manager is in the works.

Not sure if this has been posted in the forum before but if you're connected via wifi (at least...?) you can run system/bin/telnetd in pTerminal then telnet to the IP of the phone... It'll drop you to what appears to be a root shell...

If they are working on it or updating it, the app will dissapear from the store for a short time. At the moment I cant even connect to the market.
Wait a few hours and check back

Thank you for the tip. It doesn't appear to be a root shell, BUT the process runs as root, which should be just as good as soon as I drop my own sshd in there... just have to compile for the right processor hehe...
telnet?

What did you type in exactly to get telnetd to run? Any flags you passed?
I'm trying /system/bin/telnetd from pterminal, but it never runs.

I had to run it twice before it ran, then once it started it's like a watchdog process killed it after a few minutes.
do...
Code:
# cd system
# cd bin
# telnetd
# ps
Then scroll to the bottom to see if it's running. THEN connect really quick, because it seems to die off fast .
It seems that unless you first cd to system/bin running telnetd doesn't work. It also seems t-mobile does inbound filtering so I cannot root my phone remotely... :-/

What if... you recompiled a VPN client for ARM and ran it on the phone, having it connected to your home network?
It would be a battery drainer for sure... Perhaps activate it with an SMS message? Or maybe a flag it checks for on a static html page every 10 minutes?
W00t. I figured everyone gave up on trying to root this thing. Now it seems the excitement has just begun.
That's reeeealy great!
Does anybody know how one can copy the files there? Regular 'cp' does not work there.
So you're outside of the allowed paid apps territories and have recently found that you can no longer use MARKET ENABLER to gain access to paid apps. You might have found the german "o2" settings work, but those give you european targeted downloads and you want US targeted.
Seems that there is a problem with the MNC used by MARKET ENABLER. There are two android global properties called "gsm.sim.operator.numeric" and "gsm.operator.numeric", and these are the concatenation of the network MCC and MNC values, tmobile US was set to 31026, their MCC (mobile country code) is 310 (usa) and MNC (mobile network code) is 260 (tmobile US) -- whoops, maybe try 310260 instead. Yep, that works.
Enjoy!
Nice catch! I was wondering why ME wasn't enabling of late.
will change that in the rewrite of v3beta ;-)
I have a Rogers Dream and its rooted. Market Enabler just stopped working and I cant get it to work again. I tried the 3beta and even clearing the Cache numerous times. Nothing seems to work.
anyone have a fix?
VGM out...

Not doing anything for me.
Hi guys
Maybe I'm misunderstanding something here, or just being dense, but I can't seem to see ME doing anything.
I'm running a rooted G1 on the Orange Switzerland network, currently with Cyanogen-Mod 4.04. When I run ME, it asks for root permission (granted), then says it's "doing stuff", then claims to have been successful. If I then check the APN's there are none there, none at all. Also, I still can't see any paid apps in the market.
Usually, or after ME's restore, I have two APN, namely 'Orange' and 'Orange MMS' with the respective settings needed for the local network.

What does Market Enabler have to do with APNs? APNs are used for connecting to a cellular network. Market Enabler works by setting certain build properties to spoof that of a different network.

Almost.... they aren't build properties, they're cell-network properties and sim properties that are retrieved from the simcard and network upon connection. Market enabler overrides these network properties.

You're right. I was thinking of just the properties in general and let it slip.
So, could someone give me short description of how it would look when ME works? Just so I know where the problem might be.

Sure... when you go to market, it will show you $ priced applications. Thats how you know that it worked
Market enabler has 3 tabs; current settings, presets, and custom. When you activate a change on tab 2 or 3, the values shown on tab 1 will change to match.
Tabs? I don't see any tabs.
I see a banner at the top, showing 'Androidiani', then two buttons beneath that, 'Enable paid Apps' and 'Restore'. Below that, a balck field with green text, showing the status/results etc.
And at the bottom, a gray text field with thanks to the developers, and warning about using the app at your own risk.
Are we even talking about the same app here?
EDIT: Right, so I found out about the V3.0beta and installed that. After using the numbers provided in the first post of this thread, it's now working. There does remain one question though: Is it possible to somehow save your initial values, or the 'restore' what you had before enabling? My current settings are detected correctly, but they don't show up in the 'Settings List' Tab, and I can't find a 'restore' option like the last version anywhere. I know that rebooting will reset you to the original settings, but it's a bit annyoing to do that every time.
Still, many thanks for making this possible. It's a great tool, and I'll be recommending it to any other Android users in Switzerland.

If you read their issue tracker, it appears that they are planning on adding those features you are looking for.
Great, thanks for the info everyone.
Now, I have a slightly more devious question, of purely hypothetical nature of course .
Once I've installed a paid app, the apk shows up in /system/sd/app like all the others. If I then backup that apk to somewhere else, say /sdcard/temp, and uninstall/refund the app through the market....what's to stop me from just installing the copied apk afterwards?

Nothing. However, the app will not show up in the Market and thus you will not be able to receive updates.
In some cases, there are additional copy protection or rat-you-out features contained within the application. If the software asks for internet permissions, then there is most definitely a chance that there could be rat-you-out features.... I know I would.
@Rapax: das macht mer eifach nöd und wegem restore, ich lueg das i de nägscht version so öpis dine isch...
About APN's dissapearing, if you have APN config with specific SIM/Network settings (entered witch sim card/network this should be active) u could get a problem if this settings change...
And once again, this app is not intended for piracy, it's more the opposite, that people who live in non market enabled countries can still buy apps instead of having to rely on getting the apk from ipmart or something and not paying anything to the dev's.
Market Enabler 3.0.1 beta now available. Fixes T-Mo US operator codes (as noted in first post of this thread).

so that it will never bother you again do this.

It will never bother you again.
Other than that im not sure. I guess you have your reasons to not even show in the options list.

Fine job making a Windows program. Unfortunately I do not know most of those apps so I will not select them. Is it too much to ask someone for a list of apk name versus function name?

The apk name is listed along with the packagename in the list. If you are unsure what things are safe to block/disable. There are plenty of people on the forum that would be willing to help you.
I did not see the package name so I will have run it again and read more carefully or try to change the size of that field.

Here's one thing to think about also, by accident I blocked the Google stock email , not the Gmail. I went back to unblock and I had to re-enter all my emails back again. So what I'm saying after a block and then an un-block it wipes the app. Did you expect that to happen or should I expect that to happen for most apps be turned back on?
Thanks
