Very interesting, I think I'll give that a try myself also.

This whole thing is all very strange to me, especially considering the new market works perfectly on my phone(160dpi)...
[Nook Color General] arda99:
Regarding these two, if I understand correctly, qemu.sf.lcd_density has higher priority over ro.sf.lcd_density and no magic about ro.sf.lcd_density. We can even comment out both qemu and ro entries and system will fallback to DENSITY_DEFAULT which is 160.

https://github.com/CyanogenMod/andr...ad/core/java/android/util/DisplayMetrics.java

private static int getDeviceDensity() {
// qemu.sf.lcd_density can be used to override ro.sf.lcd_density
// when running in the emulator, allowing for dynamic configurations.
// The reason for this is that ro.sf.lcd_density is write-once and is
// set by the init process when it parses build.prop before anything else.
return SystemProperties.getInt("qemu.sf.lcd_density",
SystemProperties.getInt("ro.sf.lcd_density", DENSITY_DEFAULT));
}
[Nook Color General] skwalas:
Not that anyone cares, but I'm going on 5+ days now with an absolutely rock-solid market (no missing apps, empty app list, missed updates or obvious "incompatible" apps) with density setting at 240. I'm even deferring flashing any new nightlies just to see how long I can go. Although upcoming 169 looks pretty big, so maybe ill just give up on hoping for a market bork in the next day or two.
[Nook Color General] Taosaur:
I don't know why that would be your regular route when you can longpress any app shortcut and choose App Info to get to its settings page. Whether your market shortcut is nearer at hand than Recent Plus just depends on where you start.
[Nook Color General] zequav:
Doh, thanks for the tip, I hadn't though of long press -> manage to clear the market data either. :p

Market Online: Doesn't install apps

I had update issues and I also found that I cant install apps from the market web site. Found this link to a fix and now the market works for everything. Updates work, install from web works.

http://androidforums.com/android-applications/270853-android-market-online-doesnt-install-apps.html

Just to clarify for others, I did as you suggested but the actual names of the things I cleared were:

- "Google Services Framework" == clear data

- "Market" == clear cache
[Nook Color General] fatalfuryy:
After screwing around with the build.prop to 160, 180, 240(worked for 7 days and then issues occurred) everything installed with gapps crashes non-stop to the point where i need to do a complete wipe and reinstall.

I installed nightly 169 a few days ago and left it at density 161 and havent had any crashes or issues. usually i just need to clear data and cache on market and it works again.

was there anything changed in nightly 169 to make density 161 work again or am i just getting really lucky?
[Nook Color General] joenathane:
Things will work but there will be certain apps you can't install, the facebook app for example.
[Nook Color General] subcan:
A fix I finally found for Market dealeo... works for me

To start... I do not care about the new Market on my Nook... as compared to being able to download apps from the Market. It is quite frustrating how they have changed the IMEI requirements for the market place.

I am using latest CM7 nightly... cm_encore_full-175.

I spent a lot of time searching for a solution that would work for me.

Finally I found one... that I believe others have eluded to... but not clearly.

Here is what I did:

1) Downloaded Titanium Backup (from marketplace)

2) Deleted the Market backup apk

3) Closed Titatium

4) Went through Menu> Settings> Applications> Manage Applications> All Tab> Market

5) Now I just clicked "clear data" and exited.

When you restart your Marketplace app, it will be the old style and you should have access to the various apps you had access to before.

I have not found an app (that I have used before) that I could not download.

Now I am happy once again.

I am sure that Google will try to close this fix as soon as they can. Why? Why did they do it to start?

Let me know if this does not work for someone using Nook Color with latest CM7 nighly.

Just my thoughts... subcan
[Nook Color General] DizzyDen:
The market issue has nothing to do with IMEI's... you can trust me on that since my nook has had a unique IMEI since I first wrote the IMEI Generator ;)

There are actually a FEW work arounds for the market issue:

1. As described in the quote... avoiding market from updating...

one thing you forgot is Settings/Manage Applications... select market and uninstall updates prior to renaming (or deleting) marketupdater.apk

IMHO its just a matter of time before old market will not work at all.

2. Use lcd Density Changer to change density to 240..

a. change density to 240, select kill all, and click restart

b. after quick reboot you will be at 240

c. manage applications, clear data on market

d. go to market do what you need to do

e. on reboot your density will be back at what was previously set to

f. repeat when your market borks again

3. Edit build.prop

IF CM7:

a. set qemu.sf.lcd_density=240 (you can add this line to end for easy changing by just deleting the line... this is one exception in build.prop that uses the LAST setting on initialization as opposed to first)

IF rooted stock:

change the following:

ro.sf.lcd_density.xdpi=240

ro.sf.lcd_density.ydpi=240

(3. above will survive reboots, thus not requiring to change lcd density every reboot)

There is no telling hat B&N stuff the stock edit in 3 will impact. (in store reading, b&n market, etc.)
[Nook Color General] koopakid08:
Market is fixed in the latest nightly. For now at least.
[Nook Color General] koopakid08:
Scratch that cleared data and now its broke again.
[Nook Color General] skwalas:
Did you change to 160? Market still limited at 161, but so far seems to be working at 160 (knock on wood)
[Nook Color General] swapdotavi:
How do I edit build.prop easily? Do I have to pull it to my PC via adb, or can I edit it on the device itself some how?
[Nook Color General] Taosaur:
Mount /system r/w in Root Explorer.
[Nook Color General] skwalas:
If you have root explorer you can find build.prop in system (mount as r/w first) long-press on the file to get the menu, and select open in text editor.

How do I nuke the Market and start over? I have tried a variety of fixes and I am stuck now. Every time I try to update/download anything Market force closes starting the download.

[Nook Color General] the.hagop:
@subcan - thank you for your post, I used the same process for my mytouch1.2. Personally not a fan of the new market anyway so this was kinda one of those two birds one stone things for me. So, it works and it's back to stylish but not bloated, thanks.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] losant:
Okay, do you guys expect the new phone with the WP7 OS of HTC in the future? Though the HTC has publiced several models last year，it did not satify everyone who using the wp7 phone of htc.

With the mango edition releasing, several top equipment Manufacturers have cooperated with the MS company，especialy the Nokia. But I do not expect too much to Nokia,just take look at its new WP7 phones's specification, I feel so disappointed, I hope it go better！

Are you confident in the WP7?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] go4saket:
Hello friends!

I updated my cell from froyo to Gingerbread as then restored all my apps with help of Titanium backup pro. Problem is that now all my apps some how got unlinked with the Market and when I go to my apps in Market, none of my apps are shown in the list. Because of this I dont come to know if there are any updates available for any of my installed apps.

Is there any way to link them back with Market without installing them all over again.

Thankyou.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sixshot84:
Try going to settings>application>manage applications and clearing data/cache or whatever it lets you clear of the market app.

@EPHRAIM033 Does that mean I can link a app downloaded via .apk to the market? And, yes, the app is also in the market..Can I do it or no?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] man4714:
this worked only once.. later again those apps lost the links i think.. they are not appearing in 'my apps' on market!!!!!!!!!
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lexrsk:
what worked for me was to re download the app from the market on wifi. it will error out with the message already installed then will show up as installed in google play.

An easy way of pushing the apps to the phone is to log onto googleplay web site reselect the app and select install.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] orangerot.:
Of course you can. But if the linked app is a cracked paid one(ore a free app from an other market eg getjar wich is free there) the market will show it in my apps but it won't let you update it... If the app is avaiable for free in the market and you donwloaded it else where there are no problems with linking and updating it..(and no i dont have illegal apps i know it cause the "gold apps" from getjar are not updatable after linking them to the market, it'll show you a message that you didn't purchase the app..)

[XPERIA X10 Android Development] aZuZu:
Be sure that you installed latest SEUS or PC Companion on your PC and let Windows update driver(s).

Tools needed >>

DooMLoRD's FlashTool for X10 only--> FlashTool_0.2.9.1-GBready_root_xRec

FOR ROOTING

Step 1: Make sure u are on stock 2.3.3 FW

Step 2: Enable Unknown Sources & USB debugging in Menu -> Settings -> Applications -> Unknown Sources & Menu -> Settings -> Applications -> Development -> USB Debugging

Step 3: Power down device.

Step 4: In FlashTool select aZuZu_Kernel_DownGrade or use this one with FlashTool you already have >>> Kernel downgrade <<<

Step 5: Follow FlashTool instructions.

Step 6: When done, leave FlashTool running.

Step 7: Remove usb cable.

Step 8: Power on device, after vibration connect usb cable.

Step 9: Wait till you see any info in FlashTool, then click root.

Step 10: After root is done. Phone will reboot.

Step 11: If on Step 10: Phone didn't reboot pull out battery 1-2 min and place it back.

Step 12: In FlashTool select aZuZu_Kernel_UpGrade or use this one with FlashTool you already have >>> Kernel upgrade <<< .

Step 13: Follow FlashTool instructions.

Step 14: When done. Pull out usb cable.

Step 15: Power on your phone and phone will be rooted.

This method this will not wipe ur existing data.

How to check do you have all needed drivers?

1. Check is phone visible in FlashTool after upgrade and before root process.

2. In command prompt type command adb devices

If response is:

List of devices attached

and not :

List of devices attached

device ?????????????????????

Then you need to upgrade drivers.

Drivers UpGrade

Plug phone and in Control Panel / System / Device Manager remove semc drivers. UnPlug / RePlug phone it will start search for new drivers if you have follow first red typed text it should find new drivers and install them. And phone should be visible with FlashTool.

+10000000 to DooMLoRD for rewritting tutorial. Dude your tutorials rulz! :D :D

OR

Watch on youtube >>> [youtube]0Nuu4SK6fLc[/youtube] <<< +100000000 silveraero. Good work!

FOR INSTALLING RECOVERY

Mine with hybrid xRecovery --> FlashTool 0.2.9.1 with Z xRecovery 0.3-GBReady ( Thanks Z ) & updated X10 drivers

OR

DooMLoRD's pure patched --> FlashTool_0.2.9.1-GBready_root_xRec

Watch on youtube >>> [youtube]a56GSx8DcEE[/youtube] <<< +100000000 silveraero. Good work!

OR

Also you can follow all this in picture & video version by DooMLoRD.

Another +10000000 to DooMLoRD. Thanks dude!

LAST WARNING FOR ALL PEOPLE --- DO NOT USE OPTIMIZE FUNCTION IN FLASHTOOL AFTER UPGRADE. BECOUSE OPTIMIZE FUNCTION USES PRE-BUILD BUILD.PROP FILE FROM ANDROID 2.1 AND IT WILL BREAK YOUR OS BOOTING. BUT IF YOU HAVE INSTALL XRECOVERY AND THEN DONE OPTIMIZE U CAN TRY USE THIS >> FlashTool_Optimize_FiX_xRecovery << OR un-tested method using batch script >> FlashTool_Optimize_FiX_Manual <<.

[XPERIA X10 Android Development] motanu200:
unplug. power on .plug cable again. root. power off. flash again

good luck
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] DooMLoRD:
it works!

and looking at the files posted by aZuZu i can tell u that this will work on ALL BRANDED/GENERIC/REGIONAL 2.3.3 GB FWs... provided that the kernel.sin file remains same (which it will for all 3.0.1.G.0.75 FW)...

but the steps are not correct ;)

u need to do this:

FOR ROOTING

make sure u are on stock 2.3.3 FW

enable Unknown Sources & USB debugging in Menu -> Settings -> Applications -> Unknown Sources & Menu -> Settings -> Applications -> Development -> USB Debugging

power down device

Flash -- Kernel downgrade ... [ Leave FlashTool running] --

remove usb cable

Power on device

immediately connect usb cable

Wait till you see any info in FlashTool, then click root.

After root reboot is done

pull out battery and wait for few mins

enter flash mode. and

Flash -- Kernel upgrade.

Power on your phone and phone will be rooted.

@aZuZu

great work aZuZu

now u can remove the [REQUEST] & [TESTING] tags ;)

POSTED A MODIFIED FLASHTOOL PACKAGE FOR EASY RECOVERY INSTALLATION

[How-To] Rooting & Installing Recovery on X10 Official SE GB [Picture Guide]

FOLLOWING IS OLD INFO! NO LONGER NEEDED

be sure that u are using rooted stock FW... if u dont know how then read this: FOR ROOTING

FOR INSTALLING RECOVERY

how to install recovery based on this:

u can either wait for Flashtool to be updated OR do the following:

download xRecovery-0.3_GBready.zip from z's thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=859571

[OPTIONAL] if u dont have ADB then u can download minimal adb from: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=13430042&postcount=25

extract the GBready xRecovery to c:\

run the following to push the recovery files to temporary directory (/data/local/tmp/)

adb push c:\xRecovery-0.3_GBready\system\bin\chargemon /data/local/tmp/.

adb push c:\xRecovery-0.3_GBready\system\bin\charger /data/local/tmp/.

adb push c:\xRecovery-0.3_GBready\system\xbin\sh /data/local/tmp/.

adb push c:\xRecovery-0.3_GBready\system\xbin\xrecovery.tar /data/local/tmp/.

remount /system using adb shell (keep screen active/unlocked to accept/allow the Superuser request)

adb shell
su
busybox mount -o remount,rw /system

now copy the files to correct location & correct the permissions (within the adb shell from above step)

cp /data/local/tmp/chargemon /system/bin/.
cp /data/local/tmp/charger /system/bin/.
cp /data/local/tmp/sh /system/xbin/.
cp /data/local/tmp/xrecovery.tar /system/xbin/.
chmod 0755 /system/bin/chargemon
chmod 0755 /system/bin/charger
chmod 0755 /system/xbin/sh
chmod 0755 /system/xbin/xrecovery.tar

done now reboot and enjoy full rooted stock rom with recovery :)

Trouble-shooting

:

incase adb server doesnt start try the following-

try rebooting PC

exit flashtool and other adb requiring services!

preferably exit antivirus & close all other apps

Trying to root my x10 via "parallels desktop" on my mac, it should work because when I downgrade then root my phone it says rooting done etc and that the phone will reboot, then i upgrade kernel again and everything seems fine.

But when I start my phone after that its still not rooted?

no superuser app, I downloaded some app to check my root and it says that i'm not rooted.

anyone know what might be causing this?

and yes, i do have the boring stock 2.3.3 rom

Help!!!!!

I followed the steps. They all worked pretty well and smooth.

BUT after the last step i.e flash kernel upgrade after rooting. The phone went into a booting loop. Nothing is happening. I tried to do Xrecovery after downgrading the kernel but its not allowing root permissions.

Please help. Here are the steps I followed

Flash kernel downgrade -> root -> flash kernel upgrade

( its shows that the busy box is installed) after that I was supposed to power on the phone to show rooting. But the phone went into a booting loop.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] imdevender:
aZuZu Please help me!!!

My phone is in a booting loop after I followed all the steps. Worked fine and expected this kernel upgrade including the installation of busy box but after that nothing..... :(
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] aZuZu:
So there wasn't any error during process? Becouse boot loop only happens with old kernel.

Try reflash kernel_upgrade.

ok so i've flashed my phone with UK generic 2.3GB x10i because i got tired of waiting for x10a and i've used your method to root, worked like a charm! however my separate problem is that android says my sd card is an unsupported file system. i partitioned it in 2.1 for data2sd and now 2.3 GB wont read it. my backup is on that sd card. :( is there a way to mount the "unsupported file system" sd card to windows and read it so i can pull off my backup and then format the sd? or am i stuck with using an sd card adapter and plugging it into the pc directly to see it?
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] imdevender:
Yes no error what so ever. I followed the procedure many times but It always stuck at the last step. When we are supposed to power on the phone after kernel upgrade. Do I need to upgrade my drivers??

Or Is there any method to go back to a lower version so that atleast I can use my phone. Its off for last 2 days :(
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] aZuZu:
yes you should have upgraded drivers. with flashing older ftf of 2.1 you should be able back to 2.1

there is very nice pc app for ext? reading filesystem .. here you are link .. http://sourceforge.net/projects/ext2read/files/Ext2Read ver 2.0/ext2explore 2.0 beta/ hope that that helps.. btw i didn't run any tests but i think that app2sd old modules should work on 2.3.3 so if pc program doesn't help. use app2sd modules to mount ext? to some folder and copy files.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] sagacious1:
thank you, i've got a microsd to sd card adapter at home so i can put it in the PC and try the program. for the meantime i tried to see if apps2sd would let me view the card and it wouldnt. is it well known that Gingerbread cant see ext2 filesystem since they moved to ext4? i thought everything would have been backwards compatible...
