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

Hi,

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?
hi guys,
i'm sorry if this was answered before but i searched and couldn't find the answer.
i'm trying to buy an app from the web based android market but i cannot send it to my device.
my hd2 is in the dropdown list but it's greyed out and i get this message: "this item cannot be installed on your device" .
i cannot download directly from the market app because we don't have access to paid apps in my country (although we do have access to them via the web based market ).
so, does anybody know a way to make google think i have a native android phone?
thanks ,
antaed
p.s.
this is the app i'm desperately trying to buy:
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.softpauer.motogp2011&feature=search_result
it's not the newest version available but it's close
Deleted Warez
just download and install free and it should work (btw you should enable the "install apps not from market" function
Thank you so much XthelordinatorX
Hello there!
I have bought a tablet, its name is DVC P10 (I wanted to place a link but it is impossible for me, as I am new in the forum, but if you look for it in myefox dot com you will see it)
its code name, is P10AN01, so i have found that the Advent Vega is also a P10AN01.
Do you know if the ROMs for the Vega, could work in my tablet? i would say that these two are clones.
thanks for the info!
Because your tablet has 3G, I'd say it was more closely related to the POV Mobii. These roms work on the POV but there's little or no support for the 3G hardware.
But the good news is, you can flash any of these roms, play for a while and then flash back to stock if necessary (make sure you can get a copy of the stock rom first or install CWM and do a nandroid backup of the stock rom)
- mud
thank you mudcruzr!
so they could work, do someone now if g-tablet of viewsonic rom works on this one?
I have read that the vega and G-tablet are almost the same... I know this is not the viewsonic forum, but i don't want to open a new port there!
thanks a lot!

And if so, is there any way you could backup the launcher / ui?
Thanks
I still don´t have it;
the day it arrives I will tell you. but based on the videos I have seen on the web, that should be the launcher for my tablet. I will try to take the APK from the tablet the day it arrives;
cheers
Thank you so much, I hope it can be done
That seems to be the same launcher that is installed on the POV Mobii. I have VegaComb running on mine atm, but you can grab the firmware here and unyaffs the included system.img: http://downloads.pointofview-online...rmware upgrade/Tegra Tab Update_v1.10_pov.exe
Sent from my GT-I9000 using Tapatalk
Thank you so much Unfortunately I don't have the slightest clue how to extract the launcher from the system.img file? :-(
It's already available
The 3D desktop from the POV is available already.
I can't post links here yet but go to android.modaco.com, goto the vega forum and look for the "3D Desktop plugin" topic
but by all accounts it's very pretty but quite useless.

I have to agree
In case somebody wants to try to extract it anyway: Try this if you're on Windows (source).
i have a tegra2 tablet bought from jtshoponline ,the model name shows p10an01 in setting , i have successfully installed android 3.0 , you can try this rom VegaComb-BETA1.4
Hell Everybody,
I arrived on this forum because I have a question about my new mobile phone.
First of all let me say that I'm a total noob about Android and the mobile phones, in fact till this moment I only used Blackberry just I decided to go into Android because I feel that is good to have the control of the device you are using.
I bought my Motorola Defy Mini XT320 last week here in Beijing (I'm living and working in China and I'm from Italy). Well everything is good, just on this device is pre-installed the Shop4Apps market where I can't find any of the application I need... Facebook, Twitter, Linkedin (this one so much) and reading around seems that if you have a pre-installed market you can't avoid to use it (maybe I'm wrong).
What I want to ask is: how can I root my devide and also after this action which things I have to do in order to be able to take the applications from the android's market that I prefer?
Some information about the phone:
Android 2.3.6
Kernel 2.6.38.6 [email protected] #2
Build number 02.19.08
I really hope that someone can help me, just I really feel that the mobile is useless if I'm not able to install the application I want...
Thank you in advance for your help.
Cheers,
Eros
Ciao Ciao
Your phone is very new, and it can't be rooted right now.
I understand that it doesn't have Google Play (android market)?
You can't install the GMarket without root, I don't think.
Others, maybe you have a solution?
My suggestion is to sideload apps you want.
This is to download the APK files of an app, say DropBox, and transfer to phone.
Then install using file manager.
facebook and twitter unavailable in china
you'r still unable to use facebook and twitter with ordinary network in china because of the network block by the government, even though the apps are installed. but it can be solved with vpn or something like that.
hi everybody!
first of all, i'm sorry for my horrible (and brief) english...
there are news about defy mini root?
I've tried superoneclick, z4root and motofail, but they don't worked.
Thank you!
Hello,
perhaps you could try Aptoide, it's an alternative market with all types of apps.
Install included .apk as well as Aptoide Repos(Search Aptoide!), hope this helps.
Android is no fun with Shop4Apps.
These are the steps:
Install APtoide, followed by Repos.
Search for apps, they will ask if you want to add stores.
Select the stores you want to add, then update stores.
Open Aptoide then use as normal market.
Here is the PUBLICly available .apk.
Hello Xda Users.
I am releasing a Windows Mobile ROM.
The device I've worked on is the Toshiba Portege G910
(probably many of you will remember my numerous questions in this forum. )
and..... Finally, after "years of study" I'm doing it.
The ROM si ready on my PC, but I still need an original (stock) ROM for this device, otherwise the new Rom won't work properly and I couldn't add very important apps to it (as for example the camera...)
A long time ago I found Stock Roms on the Toshiba website.
But now the link is not avaible anymore.
Please, can anyone upload for me (on any website) an original/stock ROM for this device?
P.S.
I also remeber that, a lot of stock ROMs for the G910, were stored in the forum section of "www.4pda.ru" but this website is in russian language and it's totaly understandable for me, even if I try to translate it.
Please, can any russian man simply search the stock ROM for me?
If you help me I will include you and your profile/website in the credits of this project
(Soon the Rom will be avaible here and on my website)
It seems to me that the official firmware isn't in the "4pda" forum, I found 2 links in another website (it's always russian...)
But the file has been removed by the File-Hosting service,
so...
my last hope is that some "ex-Toshiba-G910" owner stored it in his old Hard-Drive or PC... (please help)
For Toshiba :
I understand that so many years have passed, this phone is totally discontinued and of course you don't offer new support... But, why on earth do you eliminate even the old support already provided ?!?!
Update:
After spending hours for search it, Finally I found a working link to download this Stock Rom (required to make an updated one)
http://www.vitorrentz.cc/torrent/5705e027e0023749a584323e5061bca63bcb5fcb
I started the download but the speed is about 0.0 kbs/sec...
Why? Users, Could you just try if it works?
Maybe the download will work outside my country ...
How about this?
Removed - It was malicious, sorry

Hello Redorded! I have just seen the message!
I really Thank you for the !
Does your link was a Torrent or a File/sharing Download?
Anyway it's very hard to find this Stock rom but not impossible.
In fact I found 2 guys that have it but I can't see their e-mails because I can not use a site in russian!
Maybe... Do you speak russian??
Do Anyone have an account on "4pda" or on "unlockers.ru" ??
