Android Market v3.1.3
Requirements: for all devices with Android OS
Overview: New Android Market / Adds +1 For Apps And Games, Pin Number For Purchases, And More…
(for all devices – does not require root, but you do need to enable ‘Unknown Sources‘ in Settings-> Applications.)
Changelog
- Adds +1 For Apps And Games
- Pin Number For Purchases
- And More…
​
Info:
There’s a brand-new settings menu, as well as click-to-read explanations of app permissions (not developer customizable, unfortunately). There’s also a brand-new Market icon to spruce things up.
Oh, and did we mention you can now use a custom PIN for purchases on your phone, instead of leaving your Google Checkout wide open for anyone that picks up your device? If you have kids, or your phone is stolen, this is one awesome feature to have – and really, it makes a lot of sense.
You can get the new Market .apk here, root access is not required, but you’ll need Unknown Sources enabled in the Settings -> Applications menu to install it.
Installation Guide:
1.Download the apk from the links
2.put the apk on the phone ,don't use adb install *.apk in won't work it will say it already exists
3.Open the apk from the phone using a File explorer (ASTRO for example)
4.it will ask you if you want to replace the current market,press yes.
5.wait for install and voila you have the new market
NOTE:this method replaces the old market.

Troubleshoot:
If you have download problem after Installing new market do this
" Connect your phone to your computer,
set in usb mass storage mode. Look for
a hidden folder called ".android_ secure"
and then delete the file
"smdl2tmp1 .asec". Unmount and you
should be good to go."

Thanks for this! 3.0 is a bit slow compared to the previous market. This installed no trouble and is running really really well on my Alpharev S-OFF rooted LeeDroid HD 3.3.5 data ++

Better than the previous 3.0.27 - performance wise.
It loads the screens faster and the download is faster on mobile network connection.

in my opinion 2.3.6 with slow mobile network is still 10 time faster

will the Desire update itself to this - as I am on 2.3.6 still and haven't moved automagically at all to either of the three incarnations of the marketplace... does it only roll out to newer (dual core?) phones?
has anyone seen it update itself without running the APK on any devices come to think of it?

anyone know how to make market update itself (silent update) to the latest version ?

Yeah! You're right! The 3.x market applications are very slow! When one starts the application, it runs almost OK, but gradually it runs slower and slower when the user browses through the applications. I wonder if Google plans to launch Android on PC! The vending application would run reasonably on a PC!

[APP]OpenBuildProp project

I recently went searching for a collection of build.prop for any and all devices and although I could find build props for several devices, I usually needed to know some specifics about the device and then search google for the build.prop. This is all fine and dandy for finding a build.prop here and there but what I really wanted to find was a centralized location for any and all build prop files. Will this be useful? Who knows, but it's easy enough to gather this data and present it in a way that is easily searchable and open to the entire public.
With that goal in mind I have started by creating a very simple application that will allow a user to upload their build.prop to my server. I'll be working on the server side to make it possible for anyone to simply browse through the various build props that have been collected via this application.
Participating is as simple as installing the app and clicking a button. After successful upload of your build.prop you can simply uninstall the app. If you are game for participating then please check use the link below to download the app and submit your build.prop. Once I get the server side all set up I will update this OP and provide the url for where you can access the acquired build props.
DOWNLOAD
OpenBuildProp.apk
APP SOURCE CODE
https://github.com/0xD34D/OpenBuildProp
OpenBuildProp Site
http://openbuildprop.scheffsblend.com/
Thank you in advance to those that participate and contribute to my efforts in providing a central repository for device build props.

I agree and whoever offered to retweet about it and did not is a douche.
To be fair though, this isn't an entirely new concept. I have an app on the market that pulled specific fields from the build prop and would sync that up with a central DB if the user opted to do so. This goes a step further and collects the entire build.prop for later use, and for others to look up as well.

Not a bad idea,shall submit soon, could this also be expanded to be used (in the near future) to edit the certain aspects of the build.prop automatically, ie; to adjust Ro.product.model from default to Galaxy Nexus or which ever phone model, to make certain apps work , ie camera , and then back to default if you wanted to. mere suggestions though

I forgot that I had a modded build.prop . I tweaked it to make use of the 4.2 camera. Please pull the "Google Nexus 4 sgh-i847". I'd hate to be spreading false information

Fascinating I will be uploading mine as well, if I have a custom ROM will that change the build.prop in anyway?

great idea ...
submitted mine ...

I have been thinking a bunch about how best to optimize the information in the build.prop. There are so many non-standard ways of doing things.
One of my projects probes and sorts devices based on their build.prop and I am constantly amazed at how wildly they differ. Even sorting CyanogenMod and CM kangs is difficult to do well. Sorting by build date took me a long time as well.
I have a feeling you are going to see a bunch of modified info, as some apps and users mod theirs and then forget. But maybe you have some sor of aggregation method that will eventually overrule bad data.
I find it maddening that the build.prop contains no standardized information about screen resolution, i.e. large-mdpi or xhdpi, etc.
I will be looking, thanks for trying to make some sense of this world. It won't always be like this, thankfully. I am glad you asked me to vent my frustrations while I was here...:silly:
Edit: I have maybe 80-100 random builds on my desktop at any given moment, for bunches of devices. Any plans for a web uploader or did I miss it?

great idea! just submitted mine, hope many others will follow to make this collection successful.

Submitted mine and then realised after reading comments that it's tweaked, I went to your site to find it (under LT26i label). It contains v6 superchager data in the bottom of the file. Please remove it if needed.

OpenBuildProp Project
Uploaded my build.prop file from the phone for LGL45C Optimus Net from Net10.

Nice i will do this later for my Gio phone and Tom-Tec tablet.
Would be nice if this helps me out to find device that are like my tablet. (Telechip, Arm7,)

Would this app work with minSdkVersion 7 as well? My Nook Touch reader (eInk display, touch) still runs Android 2.1

Uploaded Nexus4 with another update

uploaded build.prop of captivate running slim ics 4.2
and 1 thing I would like to see is to add a button in the app which will take the user to the website when pressed
and really nice work and idea

Uploaded HTC Vision running Andromadus Mimicry 1.5 ICS
also can't upload from my stock Nexus 7 running Jelly Bean 4.2 get a failed to upload error,any suggestions?
cheers

this is awesome
thanks for doing it
i would also love to see maybe a spin off of this project which lists known meanings for the abbreviations used in the build.props
tried to start one such thread here awhile ago
it never really caught on

[Solved.. sorta] Gapps failure, 4.2.2 installed, and boot-looping old 4.2.1 roms

Alright, so I got my Nexus 7 last Christmas like a lot of people did, and I've been having fun with all the modifications, CM 10.1, ParanoidAndroid, SmoothROM and stuff.
Yesterday I switched to AOKP to give it a spin, but for some reason none of my Google apps carried over like they usually did, so I just switched back to my usual rom and noticed that I was strangely going through the initial setup process for Android devices. Like picking the language, giving your Google account and name, etc. Except every single time I go through this, I get similar errors that the setup crashed, or gapps crashed, or something Google-app oriented is dead. Anything with gapps flashed or included that has this same error (pictured below) in the set up and I have no access to other apps besides elementary things like Settings. If I install SmoothROM without Google apps, it will allow me access to everything, minus gmail, G+, Play Store, Maps, Chrome account, YouTube account, etc. It's a pain.
Since I can't get past the set up on my usual roms, I decided to try a 4.2.2 rom since those are new and cool I guess, and it might work, idk. Apparently I thought it was more simple than it is, because it ended up booting after flashing and having the exact same problem, but now when I switch back to any 4.2.1 rom, it boot loops at the boot animation. Basically now I'm stuck with the setup error on only that 4.2.2 rom, because everything else is unusable.

}
TL;DR, I'm getting this ^ error on every rom I can use, and now that I've tried a 4.2.2 thing, it bootloops earlier on any 4.2.1 rom.
Any possible knowledge or aid in getting this to work without wiping my stuff would be awesome. Although if it has to resort to wiping/factory reset, I will. Backup advice would be nice as well in that case. Google apps is a core problem, because its apps are crashing, and the problem was nonexistent if I had no gapps installed. (However that was before the 4.2.2 problem.)
Thanks.
Also, this is the 4.2.2 rom I used, if that matters.

Alright, well I ended up being unable to fix the problem, so I just did a factory reset/wipe and reflashed SmoothROM and it's working like a charm again. This post was just my last resort effort to possibly fix it, and with the delivery of my MOGA controller today, I had to get it running immediately.
I guess the moral of the story is to always be informed before installing alternate versions of Android, and to know what you're doing with Google Apps, because they're integral and important to the OS.
(ps the MOGA controller is amazing)

not to deter your thread base matey..
but you really really shouldnt use your e-mail address as your username....pretty soon you will be in-undated with spam ..... your mail address is now showing up in hundreds of random websearches .
some companies crawl the web gathering email addresses to sell in batches to bidders "true"
so yeah be careful mate.:good:

Thanks for the advice and consideration. My email is pretty old and I've been web searching with enough aliases over the years to not really be too affected by spammers/pranksters/trolls. Given that, my email is actually pretty bare, so I guess Google's built in spam filter works pretty well
Besides that, I like people knowing my email is legit or something, lol

Root or not?

So guys i know the possibilities of android phones after rooting as my previous phone was Sony Z2...but i am not really sure about rooting s8 :?
If i root it i will miss all updates right?So isn't it better to leave it as it is cause it's just the best smartphone now anyway...

I ran out of reasons to root a long time ago. As Android started getting more polished and allowing more customization I didnt see the need for it. The only thing I'd use it for now is for boot screens and bloat removal.

Root Explorer
Adway
Tasker
Greenify
Titanium Backup
Lucky Patcher
Uninstall System Apps
and others....
These are just some of the reasons to root, if you're looking for full control of you system, then root! If you're not going to customize the system, then don't root.

Don't promote Lucky Patcher, it goes against the non piracy stand of this site.
To the topic, the only reason I rooted in the past was titanium backup, but nowadays most apps I use sync data. I think you can do a lot more today not rooting than in the past but that's just my opinion.
Sent from my SM-G955F using Tapatalk

Agree with the lucky patch part. It can be "educational" but the piracy element is real and what makes it stand out. The real question is involving the new installation method for Magisk that was released on 9/9/2017 and if it's safe to use with a locked bootloader.

Xposed and YouTube adaway is about all I'd need it for. But it's too unstable right now plus the 80% battery thing is just stupid

I'm waiting for people fixing 80% battery issue, + lineageOS. The thing I always do after rooting is installing Adaway, but not these days.

there are adblockers that can be used via adb, system apps can be removed by adb, or can be disabled by package disablers, no real reason except to flash custom ROMs, which can be fun but gets tedious, I've rooted everyone of my previous phones (those that could be rooted), my S8 is the first that I have not and doubt I will.

I'm happy with stock, but since Samsung still don't have an option to skip music tracks with the screen off by long pressing the volume button, I'm forced to root...every...time :/
I just don't get it. With large modern devices, who wants to have to take their phone out to skip tracks. I use Poweramp, and I'm forced to remove my phone, double tap the lock screen, swipe to the player screen and then skip next track. I thought this was 2017...
The apps to do it are fickle at best. Plus, I shouldn't have to use crappy headphones with an inline remote.

waste of precious time,
battery drain, some app not working, can't find apps in goggle store.
security of device,
no samsung pay,
playing cat and mouse with Goggle

I'm not promoting Lucky Patcher, besides your actions with the app is entirely up to you. Lucky Patcher is like Kodi, they're not responsible for the actions end users take. So don't blame the software itself. Also, you can Backup or Restore of Apps and Data, Covert any app into System app and Move Apps to SD Card as well.

Rooting an S8 can cause many problems like :-
1.Warranty Loss
2.Problems with knox supported apps like (Samsung pay,pass,secure folder etc)
3.Loosing confidence on that security element that prompts us to save our valuable credit and debit card details etc.
I mainly root for ad blocking and theming. But nowadays non root alternatives are available for both.
Choice is yours.Good Luck

- Root Explorer
Why do users need to browse restricted system files? If it is to delete a file, etc, so they can disable a preinstalled app it can be done with the existing UI without root.
- Tasker
Root features are to provide extra flexibility over what Samsung offers on ringer vibrate, automatic reboot of the phone, making changes to the CPU settings, and automated change of the network to airplane mode. So for most users, there is a question of is there really a need to do more than what Samsung is offering in their own firmware when it comes to their must haves for use of the phone?
- Greenify
From what I gathered, they have a workaround for non-root devices to get the needed permissions using ADB. See their blog post "How to grant permissions required by some features on non-root device?"
- Titanium Backup
Android starting with version 4.0 has a built-in app and data backup and restore feature without the need for root or Titanium Backup. See http://projects.g.ydftech.com/home-1/androidbackup
- Lucky Patcher
Removing ads is the only feature that needs root and may be worth it. But, what are ads? A way to help a developer get paid while giving you free access to their work, do you really want to cut their only hope of revenue?
Modify app permissions, which is no longer needed as the latest versions of android give you the flexibility
Backup and restore apps, see the comment for Titanium Backup
Bypass premium applications license verification, that is basically committing illegal act of stealing something without paying for it, and although I don't endorse it in many cases there are apk's out there that have been "patched", so there is no need to root the phone in order to do this.
- Uninstall System Apps
You can just disable them. The device has many GB of space, are those system apps really taking too much space?

I'd recommend using BxActions its a very awesome app and there's no hassle onto using it.

DeX without the official adapter is the main reason I rooted, and it seems to be almost fully working with a patched kernel.
some cool mods may tempt you as well, I installed both the Stereo Sound Mod and custom video/jpeg bitrates.

I just like Rooting because its cool and thats what the cool people do, and so I can act superior (like someone gives a ****).. /s
Seriously though I don't care that much about Rooting because I don't feel its all the necessary. What I would like is an unlocked bootloader so we could make ROMs and flash stuff. I think the idea of Rooting is pretty old school we used to do it before you could do things like disable bloatware. Also since we can use apps like Adhell 2 its just one less reason to root. My biggest reason not to Root is I like Samsung Pay too much.

Does anyone know a safe way to root s8 ? (Without deleting information)
I mean, without opening the boot loader
Thank you for helping me .

Rooted every phone since the OG Droid. So far this is the only phone I haven't felt the need to root. But this is also the closest thing to the perfect phone I have owned.

I haven't really found a reason not to. I still need features that need root to run.
