OK, I fixed it. This is what I did:
First - Killed Market App using System Panel Lite. Then went into manage applications in settings and uninstalled the market app (don't worry it just deletes all market data. App is still there.)
Then follow these steps:
1 - Need root (got it from modaco ROM)
2 - downloaded root explorer from market.
3 - download the attached build.prop from

4 - Connected phone to PC and copied it to root directory as seen on pc
5 - Opened root explorer, mount the file system (clicked on RW at the top)
5 - Went to /system rename build.prop to build.prop.bak (long press)
6 - Copy build.prop from /sdcard to /system
7 - Rebooted system
8 - Ran market again

Hi,
I hope to use Digital Clock Widget from Maize and Pure Calendar, but it seem I cannot find them in the Market.
I even surf to Maize website to try to download from my Galaxy but its File Not Found error...
Any idea what is happening? Thanks.
can you download it onto your pc and then put it on the SD-Card?
I did not manage to find the apk file, so cannot do that.
the apk file i found, i could not install it on my galaxy...
Astro file manager not in market place
Hello,
I can't find or download the "astro file manager" from android market place. Even if I go via the vendor's homepage or the QR codes.
Can anybody post it here or tell me a working link for the apk-file?
Thx,
Walter
try going to metago dot net (on your phone)
then click on the download tab
See if that works.
I tried it before but it didn't work.
After resetting the phone to factory defaults I find Astro in market place but all installed applications must be reinstalled.
Can any of the previous installed apps block market place for specific apps? Are there any known apps which act like that?
You can download it from here: http://www.androidfreeware.org/
Download it man

URGENT: my phone doesn't have android market what should I do?
Hello Everyone and first of all let me congrat svetius on opening this new sub-forum dedicated to Galaxy S hopefully it will grow bigger and surpass the HTC and other Sub-Forums
Second I hope that you welcome me guys and hopefully I will try to be a useful member in this forum and I hope that all the members here are helpful and friendly as well (well ofcourse it is it's the XDA forum afterall )
ahem ok lets get to the point the moment I saw the samsung galaxy S I knew it would be my next phone and the true successor to my old omnia HD (hopefully Samsung's support for the new phone will be better than i8910) and yesterday I had the chance to test it out... the Galaxy S was released last week in Dubai and to my surprise it had Arabic language support! well some of you might wonder whats the deal with arabic support well let me tell samsung is the FIRST company to add arabic language in an android OS/phone which is btw not officially supported by google (there is no arabic language in official android rom) therefore I salute samsung for thier costumer support
NOW my main problem is that there is NO market app in the phone which is a shock!! what's the use of an android phone with no access to market it's useless in my opinion... the irony is that my country is the only country in the region that doesn't have android market support which sucks since i've been waiting for this phone for 6 months
right now I have two options: import the phone and have arabic+market but lose the warranty in the process OR buy it here and enjoy all the benefits of the warranty and the official samsung support but have no access to android market what-so-ever
is there is any way I can add the android market app to my phone through the means of root or anyway around?
appreciate the help guys
The other alternative might be to install one of the ROMs from a different region.
Android Market is illegal in U.A.E. and K.S.A. I heard of a software called Market enabler but I'm not sure how it works or if you need to root your SGS first to use it.
Can you please post images of the Arabic menus and inform us about the firmware on your SGS?
thnx for the response guys and yes I think that the andriod market is illegal in the UAE but really what harm it will be if downloaded FREE apps from the market and enjoyed the phone like other android users?! well I still haven't got the phone but I hopefully in the next 2 days and by then I will update the thread with some pictures ^_^
@TravUK can I install other roms and still retain the arabic language? it's really important for me to have a phone that supports arabic language...
btw is it possible to root the phone and install the market app from phones that have the market application? market enabler is a good option but i'd rather have the orignal android market app
I was in the same situation, I bought my Galaxy S yesterday in Dubai and found it had no market app. There was however a cut down regional market app loaded. I don't speak Arabic, so I simply flashed the latest ROM on it, this in turn killed the Arabic functionality -which is not what you want.
According to press reports, the market is simply removed in the UAE versions. Apparently it will be present in the Kuwait, Bahrain, Oman and Qatar models. Maybe you need to wait for a ROM image to be posted from someone there?
You could try using an alternative for such region problems like SlideMe: http://slideme.org/
@ShaggyDragon congrats on the phone man how is it? is it laggy like the vodafone models or is it an unlocked unbranded phone like the 8GB version from expansies? also beside the lack of android market app what about the features and the pre-installed apps is it the same as the European version or did we got cut out of some features( I hope not T_T)? for example does it come with layar and the e-book or did we get a rip-off version (I would be pissed to pay $725+ for a phone that doesn't come with features that it was originally advertised with)...and last question for you if you flash the phone with an official/custom rom will you retain all the apps and features that are available to SGS in other regoin( example market app, layar, aldiko etc) ?
@d0p3d thnx for your suggesstion but slide me is really poor it contains less than 500 apps as I heard... but what about market enabler does it work with SGS? and if it is does it contain all the applications that are available on the original android market?
P.S. can anyone with an UAE SGS dump their rom for us who are interested in arabic or for back-up plans? I would dump my rom but unfortunately i'm totally new to android :-/
hello guys here is an update about the SGS situation in UAE: it's sold out!!
but after searching for the phone in many shops/malls I managed to find SGS which was the last unit in the shop (the owner told me that he brought 30 units and were sold out in a matter of hours!!)
so I was excited and without thinking I pulled out my wallet to buy the last unit in stock and to my surprise it was the 8GB version :-( I asked them for a 16GB version but the guy told me that samsung haven't released an official 16GB in UAE!!
now my question for anyone who bought SGS from UAE, did you purchase the 16GB or the 8GB version and for how much?
should i wait for the 16GB or should I go for the 8GB?!
Apps no longer showing in market
Hi,
I've flashed the JG1 firmware and installed modaco's R2. Everything is running very smoothly now and there is no lag issue. Phone is almost completely perfect except, the 'National Rail' app that I paid £4.99 for is now missing from the Android Market.
I imagine this might be because I used a Russian firmware or non-official firmware?
I've tried using market enabler and paid apps enabler but no luck. Is there any way I can set the device to the UK market so I can get the app I paid for and use regularly?
Thanks

How To: Android Market Enabler, Paid Apps, Every Country
Hi, I am very happy with the new phone. Now I just want to root it, so I can get ME running. I just wondered if it would make the phone unstable, and what guide I should follow. I rooted and installed quite a few custom roms on my Magic/Sapphire.
Again, I want my phone just as it is, no less apps, no more, all I want is root and Market Enabler to work.
It's not buggy? Freezes, FC's etc?
Does anyone know how to get it? Bloody Amazon blocks almost every country and I couldn't find an XAP for it. Ideas?
I'm thinking the market spoof app for android, there must be an equivalent for WP7.
if you cant install via official Marketplace, use wAppStore
wAppStore XAP version
wAppStore PC version
Amazon Kindle work very fine for me
Ta for the help, mate. Worked like a charm.
Hi guys,
I'm new xda forum member...
So I'm very sorry if this is a stupid question but I'd like to flash my omnia7 unbranded using one of the latest Mi7Roms cooked with TANGO.
In different posts I see that there are several release of these roms.
In this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1782388 mirolg released 3 roms called NOKIA Edition.
I thin that I have to decide between:
- mi7ROM_v2.1 NOKIA edition OS8773_ root manager.zip
- mi7ROM_v2.1 NOKIA edition OS8773_Basis Skin_root manager.zip
But I'd like to know what Nokia Edition means? My device after flashing will appear as a nokia device automatically or is there something to do after flashing rom?
Samsung marketplace will be available or not?
Are there other roms that I can use to get my omnia7 fully unlocked?
I also see in the previous mentioned post that to install some Nokia Apps or some themes on the device we must use the cab sender method instead of standard XAP.
Is it right?
What is the difference between cab sender and xap?
Best Regards

Nokia Edition means that you can flowlessly install the nokia apps from the marketplace nokia section, before mirolg released this the apps had to be cracked and sideloaded to run on non-nokia phones. After flashing your phone will automaticly "think" it's a nokia lumia 800. For accessing Samsung marketplace you simply have to change the marketplace using some app like MarketplaceConfig or wphTweaks or anything similar, one of them is already installed after flashing.
Some Nokia apps use editional code libraries that are not included in Samsungs windoes phone releases, so you can install them with a cab file. A cab file is actually an update file, just like the ones that zune installs to your phone when you get an official update. A XAP file is a normal application file that can be installed AND uninstalled, while after installing a cab-file the only possibility to remove it again is restoring a backup or flashing a new ROM.
The decision between the two ROMs is simply a question of looks, one comes in standard metro/windows 8 style look, the other one has some changed icons.
I hope I did answer your questions,

Great answer..
thank you so much...
I will flash my Omnia as soon as possible because chewron labs token are expired. :fingers-crossed:
Another question if you know the answer...
After flashing my omnia with custom rom, does syncronization with zune still works or no (file sync and multimedia content)?
Obviously updates will not work.
