Stock 2.1 build.prop fingerprint

I have a rooted Aria running a stripped down stock rom. Unfortunately, this has some unwanted side effects on the android market. Does anyone have the factory fingerprint lines from the boot.prop file?
Mine is:
ro.build.fingerprint=cingular_us/htc_liberty/liberty/liberty:2.1-update1/ERE27/1.25.502.12_192055:user/release-keys
ro.product.version=1.25.502.12

This is from the rock-stock HTC rom from htc.com:
ro.build.fingerprint=cingular_us/htc_liberty/liberty/liberty:2.1-update1/ERE27/179042:user/release-keys
ro.product.version=1.25.502.2

I have one (I assume you meant build.prop) from Liberated Aria r012 that works fine in the market:
ro.build.fingerprint=cingular_us/htc_liberty/liberty/liberty:2.1-update1/ERE27/179042:user/release-keys
ro.product.version=Liberated Aria R012 (US)
If you don't like that, there is another thread in this forum where Attn1 has posted the stock roms that you can unzip and get that file.

Yes thank you, that's what I needed. It looks like the liberated rom I am running has an update to fix this issue for me, r012. Which is good because I couldnt get any of my apps to mount /system in r/w mode. Unfortunately, new rom don't seem to fix this for me, still can't see square on the market... Must be something to do with the date wipe requirement. Need to find out how that works.

You need to wipe market data. You can use Titanium backup. You can mount /system r/w from recovery only.

bkmo, your the man (twice, once for the other post! ! Downloaded the free version of titanium, selected the market app for backup, deleted all data and it worked like a charm! Excellent advice, none of the other methods were working for me!

Hurray!
Using the following instructions and the old Aria fingerprint from here I was able download protected apps from the market again. I did need to reboot my Aria into recovery mode to move the build.prop file and clear the Market app cache before it worked though.

Someone should make an app for this (and that would remove it when its finally fixed for real), just like the Eris Market Fix app.

an app won't do it till we can write to system without having to be in recovery.

Cannot uninstall swype!

Hi, I have installed Swype with a signed apk, I think.
Now it won't uninstall in any way, even if I try with adb uninstall /system/app/swype.apk (it says "Failure" )
The phone is detecting it as a system app.. how to solve this?
ps. I got the phone rooted with the one click root apk.

Already tried. It says it can't find the apk file

Is it just showing in the app drawer, if so try rebooting.

No it isn't shown in the application drawer. What does this mean?

What traces are there of it and where do you see them?

It's just in the language and international tab of the settings menu, and I can select it as an input method.
It's just installed and working but I need to remove it!

Try removing it again with adb but this time from data/app.

Failure again. It's haunting me

God knows then, I'm out of ideas other than a reflash.

Oh damn somebody is gotta be kidding me as it just correctly uninstalled the package but swype is still there, up and running even after a reboot! Help me I'm not really understanding anything

The only other thing I can think of is just to browse system folders for any trace and delete it.

is yours the official one? have you tried uninstalling the installer as well?

As I already told, it's a signed apk, i bet it's been customized. Which installer are you talking about?
Sent from my X10i using XDA App

yeah, so by signed, do you mean by the swype developers themselves? or you downloaded a cracked version off some other hole in the internet?
if you got it from the swype developers officially, you would have installed an installer, which will download the swype.apk, and then install it. so you would have swype installer (this is the installer i'm talking about), and swype.

Search for swype with root explorer and delete all traces...
bang delete...
gone...

Have you tried just clicking the apk again (as though you were trying to install it) and then just uninstall ?

Try shutting down the phone and remove the sd card.
Then start up the phone without the sd card, is it still showing?

I'm having the same problem. Have you got it figured out?

The SD card trick won't work. I searched for anything concerning swype with root explorer and deleted every trace of it but it's still showing up in language settings.
If I try to install a non-signed version, the installation procedure fails...
Well who cares anyway.. I'll be wiping all the phone content when 2.1 comes out

Super User Issue

Hey guys. Just installed the Desire Stock nand build on my hd2. I installed quick boot but it wont work. I know its suppose to have root access but it doesnt come up on the superuser app list. How can I add it on that list so it would work?

Edit: I also installed titanium backup and it says my phone is not rooted... Superuser is installed. Titanium bacup asked for Busybox. I downloaded the busybox installer. Tried to run the installer for busybox and it says that device is not nand unlocked or it was unable to remount.... Help.

Search for the z4root.apk file. There is a thread of it here.
For a how to guide, check YouTube. You can find download links there 2.

Edit: its an app that roots your phone by one click.

Deleting System APP

Hey all
I need to remove FACEBOOK, so that I can use the launcher pro facebook widget, but its saying invalid key file when trying to log into it.
Soooooooooooo , how do I remove the original facebook ?
There only seems a force quit option , and then I cant delete it
Any help welcome
Thanks, as always
Stephen

I think you need to be rooted to do this.
Just go to the /system/app/ folder and you'll find the Facebook.apk. Delete it, and reboot.
--an Explorer is needed--
if you dont have an explorer installed (i.e. Root Explorer, or ES file explorer) then you can use adb
in cmd type 'adb shell'
then the following...
>su
>rm /system/app/Facebook.apk
(notice the capital 'F' in Facebook. the shell is case sensitive)

Brilliant , thanks I will give it a try
Steve

Only custom ROMS can remove stock apps

Yea, it says cant be removed
Any other suggestions ?
Twitter works ok, but on the launcher pro facebook widget it says error:invalid_key
any other suggestions ?
Steve

Off course you need to be rooted and you can download titanium backup from market to easily remove system app. Use it with great caution!!!

Thanks , I downloaded that, and I am not ROOTED (which I understand means it needs root priviliages to remove the program)
Soooooooooooooo , how do I get it rooted ?
Thanks

Just start from the downgrade the system and then , root, s-off,.......... It is a lot of tutorials. use serch button

Even if you're not intending to install CyanogenMod I found their guide to be the easiest to understand.
http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/HTC_Desire_HD:_Rooting

But dont forget once u have rooted and removed facebook u will not be able to install any ota updates from htc. Based on the bug infested updates so far that may not be a bad thing.
Sent from my HTC HD so may contain typos, bugs and, if the battery lasts, pearls of....(battery 0%)

Also if you have root permissions, use Root Explorer, go to system --> app --> and delete the Facebook app. Then you no need to hack with adb or computer.

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.

I used your second instructions to install it but I didn't rename it and it installed fine. I didn't need to change permissions or reboot, just touched the Market-3.3.11.apk after I downloaded it and it installed. Thanks.

I did this the first time i downloaded the .apk and it didn't work for me. That's why I had to do it the long way...
Are you on a Sense ROM?
Good to know that it installed fine for you.
