Anyone have a Froyo Archos with full Market Protected App access

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:

- edited my build.prop using the root+rw package
- cleared the market cache and such
it's working
I can install apps like "Gun Bros" which I couldn't previously

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

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.

Gun Bros is available on Archos Apps Lib anyway

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????
I have no idea where I goes wrong...><

[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....

Error when watching HBO Go even after IMEI generated

hello, sorry i searched an was unable to find a solution. I used the new solution of generating an imei number and have been able to log into hbo go and install swype, but when i go to play a video i get the HBO vid then an error about some videos may not be available. i tried the same videos from my phone with no problems. help would be greatly appreciated!! thanks in advance.

***I don't have HBO Go so I'm basically guessing here***
If you were using one of my hacked framework.jar files and then moved to DizzyDen's patched framework.jar then this would appear as if you IMEI number changed (which on a phone should never ever happen!)
I would start by clearing data in the HBO GO app and perhaps even un-installing / re-installing. Also, if you can log into your account (again I have no knowledge of how the app works) and somehow "reset" your devices, that might help.
Good Luck,

Did you verify the IMEI took? There were a couple versions of Dizzy's tool that had some issues. Try again with the latest version and duo the in place patch.

If you'r running CM7... go into phone app and dial *#06#... When you hit the second # it will pop up a box telling you the IMEI...
If running MN'd stock... go to market and get IMEI widget... launch it and it will also report your IMEI.
The In-Place patch is to update framework.jar that is already on your device (ADB must be working... either via USB or WiFi).... this will keep you from having to patch a ROM every time you download it before updating the Nook... just update the ROM... then run in-place patch... it will modify the framework.jar on your device.

[CM7]where's the market?

I 've flash CM7 latest ROM and the google app pack, but my wildfire still doesn't have market

Did you get the correct gapps from here? The universal one...

Yep, but I have not sign in gmail account yet, I don't have wifi and can't access data?how can I access data on CM7?

What data.. mobile internet data ?
If so, go to wireless settings and under mobile networks check whether u have correct access point or not.
If needed u must manually add access point by asking the service provider for settings. Actually the settings will be automatically configured. But check again.
And if u don't get market after adding gmail account, then try to reflash the correct universal cm7 google apps package again.

In the worst case just take your sdcard out of your phone, go to a computer with internet access, download gapps an put in on the root of your sdcard, reboot the phone in recovery and flash the zip.
EDIT: Wait.. you say you have already the latest version of gapps and you.. euhm.. sorry, what is your question exactly?

Now I knew that I don't have market because I didn't sign in Gmail account. But my phone cannot access to mobile data like bharatgaddameedi said. But when I opened access point name in mobile networks, it blank man!Nothing in there,just a black screen.

Press Menu Button there > New APN, and fill out the details as provided by your service operator. Then you will be able to access mobile data (2G / 3G) as expected.

Exactly. That's the best thing according to me.
Service providers will tell that they will send a settings msg and that comes after many many hours sometimes. Sometimes they say that device is not supported. What a joke....? Its better to do things on our own (atleast when they can be done). ---- and only if u have made a nandroid backup of stock rom.

I have another problem... I'm not able to put widgets of different apps on the home screen.....any help with that ??

if the apps are moved to sd card, i think that their widgets don't work, move the apps back on the phone and try.

No, its an Android limitation.

UPDATE: Latest "Market" Now 3.3.12

Update: 11/20/11 Unofficial Market update which brings it to Version 3.3.12. Better integration with the Music market. You can now download free music and purchase music as well. Sorry U.S.A. only for free music (?)
How to install: download apk and install like any other apks.
http://db.tt/0j3ii5Oq
Here is the latest (leaked?) update of the Market which brings it to version 3.3.11.
And here's how I installed it: I am currently on CM7 nightlies
Download .apk (Market-3.3.11.apk)
Open Root explorer (or any file manager w/ root access)
Move New Market .apk (Market-3.3.11.apk) to system/apps (make sure to mount R/W first)
Move (or delete, but I suggest to move .apk just in case) older market .apk (Vending.apk) to your sdcard
Rename new market as Vending.apk
Fix Permissions (rw--r--r)
Exit Root Explorer (or any file manager)
Reboot
Done! Whew...
OR...
Download .apk
Rename New Market .apk to "Vending.apk" (w/o the quotes)
Install just like any other apllication
Reboot (if necessary)
*I didn't get the chance to try the second option so it may or may not work, but it kinda made sense...
**not sure if (Vending.apk) is the same name for SENSE ROMS (I don't remember) but just make sure to rename it the same way...
FOR MORE INFO... MARKET 3.3.11

Sounds like a lot of work for nothing. Have you tested and confirm that you can buy a new app with this new market apk?

Hmm this actually is worth the trouble. LOL

you could do it the lazy way and hover over the link on this website and after about 3s a qr code will show up

DL'd and installed earlier. I had been having problems with the speed of other 3.x market apps, this fixes those all, even on 3g. However, some of my installed apps aren't showing up (like Google Maps, of all things). I'm sure there's a simple solution to that, though.

Try and clear "market" data through the application settings and reopen the market. See if that worked...
from the "CRACKED" speedy EVO engine... Via Tapatalk.

It won't install for me. It keeps saying application not installed. If I use root explorer to place the .apk in the /systems/app folder I just get force closes. Clearing data doesn't help either. I have downloaded it several times thinking it was a corrupted download. I'm at wits end here. I have done everything in this post even before I read it as I have updated to all the other previous market releases without issue.
But for some reason this one just doesn't work. I thought maybe it wasn't working on cm7.1 nightli or or the evo shift but some of you have it working so that isn't it. Let me redo this and maybe format cache and dalvik see if that helps.

did you rename the .apk of the new update?

I had zero issues with the new Market. I just installed it like any other .apk. The new Market is very nice. Many small noticable differences. Like when on the My Apps page and you switch accounts it leaves you on the My Apps page instead of reloading the whole damn Market. Overall new Market is definitly an improvement and Vicodan should stop being such a hater

I did try that, but no luck. I'll probably just ignore it until the next time I flash a ROM. Then it'll fix itself, so that's fine. I imagine it's only going to be a few days until I do that anyway.

Titanium Backup can restore all your Market links. I believe there's also other apps designed just to do that too. Use TB or search for an app that restores Market links.

If your use titanium backup to restore or install your apps go into the settings and use market doctor. This will fix missing links to apps in the market that you have installed.

How to get the KA12/13 rom completely functional for r800x CDMA users

Hey guys I'm new! Nice to meet all of you.... here are some things you can do to make this great rom even more functional on the r800x.
1. WIPE YOUR SYSTEM ENTIRELY... Data, Cache, Dalvik.. the works. Install KA12 first, followed by doomlord's wifi modules (I used the most recent test release for the 2.34 verizon upgrade and they worked like a charm.)
2. Let the system boot up.. you will most likely get some kind of error, or it may take you to the setup screen... either way, at this point, return to CWM, and wipe your dalvik cache. Next Install the CDMA patch 9 (I used the non-modded version)
3. Install google apps, and any other KA12 zips you desire to flash. When you are finished flashing, clear both cache and dalvik.
4. Now install KA13 over KA12 system meaning DO NOT DO THE FACTORY RESET.
5. You may want to reflash the wifi modules, I do not know if it is necessary, but I did it to to be safe.
6. Reboot the system, and complete set up.
7. Using root explorer, go navigate to the system apps directory, and find a phile called SEMCtelephonyservice.apk (or something very much like that).. make sure root explorer is set mounted to R/W and then simply click on this app, and open it with the APK handler or simply click install. It will tell you this app is already installed, and you are replacing it. Say ok. Now go and try your dialer. You should only get one force close after making a call now, and it should go away forever after this... No more phone force close yay!!
8. While your in system apps folder, go ahead and delete the USBconnectivtyux.apk (or something like that) ... don't worry.. this has no effect on USB connectivity at all, it still works fine... and guess what.. NO MORE FORCE CLOSE WHEN YOU CONNECT USB!
9. With your wifi connected, go to the play store and download a free app called APN manager... install it. Once you have opened it simply import the APN settings for verizon onto your phone, and reboot your phone. Once rebooted,(you can turn off wifi now) open up your mobile network settings, and make sure you have mobile network data enabled... I allowed national roaming, I'm not sure if you have to.. then click the APN settings... you should see Verizon in there now. Make sure to click that circle to turn on those APN settings.. This will get your sms/mms up and running.
10. Finally, to get my 3G icon to show up I had to redownload the SETDNS app... I got the pro version... and when I enabled google DNS, I immediately got a 3g icon in my status bar. The second time I ran through this, I did not immediately get a 3g status icon.. If this is the case for you, just simply toggle airplane mode after setting the DNS, and your 3g should eventually kick in. If you do not get a 3g icon, my understanding is that your data works even though you can't see it, however you will have trouble downloading apps.

Thanks dude.
