That's what I'm trying to bring out. Because it is non licences phone, it won't allow you to do so. Even it is open source, phone maker still need to buy the license (Android 2.3 and above, the higher the os is, The more expensive it is. 2.2 and below is free ) from Google.

You can try using amazon if you want to burn some cash.

Like I wrote before, I DO have a Chinese phone that is definitely not licensed ( a Xperia Arc S clone) and that phone lets be me buy my apps :-)

When I check all my devices on my pc when I login to the market, it is listed as "unknown" but still I can download any paid app I want to.

So, somehow this phone is identified as "o.k.", while other Chineses phones are not.

I'm just trying to find out what file(s) on the phone is responsibe for that, it can't just be the build.prob, I don't know this but I have the feeling the information must also be somewhere else?

Also, it can't be a valid or invalid IMEI because the same problem exists with some tablets pcs. Some are able to download paid apps, some are not and none of the have a GSM unit build in and there no IMEIs present.

That's why I was asking here, I was hoping somebody might know more about how the android market identifies a device:confused:

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ColonelZap:
Me, too, that doesn't do the job.

Question remains if all the impotant info in stored in the build.prob or what other file(s) might also be important in order how a device is recognized by the android market.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pirolisi80:
can you pubblish here your build.prop? :D

edit: please
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ColonelZap:
This is the build.prob from my x18i phone that lets me download paid apps:
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pirolisi80:
As you seen I've tried to change build.prop with yours until the build proprites I've also delete data and cache from market apk service framework and partner setup...for a clean try...but nothing I can't download my paid app from my market....thanks whathever...excuse me ror my poor english I hope you understand my words
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ColonelZap:
No problem understandig you :-) I'm not surprised it didn't work, I still think the information must be stored elsewhere beside the build.prob, if only I knew were, hence this thread ;)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pirolisi80:
if it's possible can you upload system /app folder from your phone....I think is in this folder the solution...bye

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bunta126:
You could try this solution:

http://www.slatedroid.com/wiki/index.php/Fix_Market_For_Slates#Get_AndroidID_From_A_Phone

Essentially it involves finding the androidID on your phone (or emulator) where the market works using

adb shell sqlite3 /data/data/com.google.android.googleapps/databases/gls.db "select * from meta";

and then copying that to the phone where the market doesn't work using

adb shell sqlite3 /data/data/com.google.android.googleapps/databases/gls.db "update meta set intvalue='idnumber_from_above' where name='androidId'";

It's not a ROM fix but at least it might help some people.
[Nokia Lumia 800] Dawginson:
Hi folks.

So I've got a Lumia 800, SIM-free from phones4u. I've tried the following to get my MMS working. Note everything else on the phone works fine.

Cut my PAYG O2 sim card to micro sim, booted up phone (first boot), set APN settings etc.

Doing a complete phone reset.

Getting a replacement microsim for O2.

Doing another complete phone reset.

I've bounced between O2 and Nokia's customer support lines a few times to no avail.

Texting the O2 number (2020) to get MMS settings sent to my phone. It errors.

So I have three questions.

Has anyone else experienced this problem?

Is there a way to force it into the right MMS settings?

Is Nokia's Network Setup application on the way after the secruity flaw that got it unpublished? Any indication when it might be out?

Sorry if any of this is a stupid question. A friend suggested you guys might be able to help.
[Nokia Lumia 800] robart76:
Got the same problem and I believe everybody with sim free Nokia's experiencing the same problem.

There's no way to change the MMS settings. We need to wait for Nokia to release the app.

It's a bit annoying though.
[Nokia Lumia 800] wheresmybeaver:
Lumia 800 on O2 Ireland here as well and MMS is not working. I was expecting this as MMS on my existing HD7 would not work either without running the Connection Setup software provided by HTC.

I'm hoping the Network Setup software will be back soon on the Marketplace(and will actually include O2 Ireland in the settings).
[Nokia Lumia 800] lumpaywk:
Although my lumia seems ok with mms on tmobile uk, my wifes Mozart wont send or recieve mms at all i have tried everything. As HTC used to have a setup app before they removed it (dunno why its needed) im sure it can be setup by software.
[Nokia Lumia 800] zoidinger:
Hi,

Nokia released the Network Setup App again. The only flaw is, I can't seem to find the app in Marketplace. BUT: go to this thread and follow the link in the first post

on your phone.

My data connection now works perfectly, but MMS still does not work :(
[Nokia Lumia 800] apollo15rover:
Happy to report that USA T-Mobile Lumia 800 sending MMS perfectly.. after reading this thread, I tested this and my coworker got the photo I sent just fine. Didn't even take that long to send (T-Mobile USA restricts Lumia 800 to 2G Edge)
[Nokia Lumia 800] Dawginson:
Thanks zoidinger - this got me the app. Annoyingly I now can't seem to actually make it *do* anything. I can select between O2 UK 1, O2 UK2, and tesco mobile, but no matter what it always ends up set to "O2 UK 1" iff I change it, go out and come back in again.

I'll have a play around today when I get the chance and see if I can get anywhere.
[Nokia Lumia 800] wicked12345:
The Connection Setup app doesn't exist anymore on Marketplace or what? Because I had a Mozart before and to fix the MMS config I downloaded that app, ran it and then it worked.

BTW: I also got MMS to work on my Lumia yesterday with the Network Setup app. Here's how I did to get it to work:

1. I ran the app

2. Removed the app

3. Turned the phone off

4. Removed the sim card

5. Started the phone

6. Turned it off again

7. Reinserted the sim card

8. Turned it on again.

Now it works!
[Nokia Lumia 800] Dawginson:
Right after playing around I got it working!

It was some combination of the following, in various different orders:

Playing with the Network Setup app

Removing the APN settings

Re-adding the APN settings

Rebooting the phone

Thanks so much for the trick to get the Network Setup app!
[Nokia Lumia 800] zoidinger:
Unfortunately, that does not seem to work for me. I tested MMS with another phone. It worked instantly. I also checked the MMS settings inside the XAP from Nokia and they seem correct. Don't know what to do else...
[Nokia Lumia 800] Wodnik Szuwarek:
The problem affects only branded firmware. Solution:

1. Open Internet Explorer on your phone.

2. We go to the following address: goo.gl/l5vi2

3. Click on the link "Zune Link" in the first post at the top.

4. Install the application.

5. Remove APN manually typed in the phone settings, if any we have (Settings-> Mobile Network-> Edit APN).

6. Run the application, wait a while and we have configured the phone.

7. Close the application.
[Nokia Lumia 800] eslamiar:
Here is updated link for Network Setup from Nokia

I had to call Nokia as the previous links in threads did not work. they gave me updated link and I ran the app, power-cycled and sent MMS with no errors on phone. Please make sure you remove any APN settings before running the app, reboot after it detects your carrier. Enjoy, I hope this helps.The forum won't let me post a URL, you can email me directly eslamiar@gmail.com for link and maybe someone can post it
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gloos:
Hi,

I'm sure most noticed that the S2 screen is greenish. Is there any way to calibrate that? Most of the threads I found with that issue have been un-answered.

I am supposed to have a "screen mode" option in Display settings but there's none.

I use the latest cyanogen nightly. The stable version doesn't have that option either.

I couldn't find any app on the market either beside this app https://market.android.com/details?id=com.netmanslab.sa but i'm not sure what to put in and figured the phone needs a gamma tweak not rgb.

Thanks

Xperia Tweak - The must have app for Xperia Play root users ;)

Update is XperiaTweak_2.apk in attachment -

EDIT ## Redownload, i forgot to change the root permissions stuff properly so it will not apply mods properly, re download version 2 to fix this issue. ###

What you get with this app:

Ability to install/remove the Sony Ericsson Mobile Bravia Engine, this makes images more crisp and filters them to make them more realistic.

Ability to force/unforce GPU UI rendering, this means that instead of having the CPU render the UI, the GPU will do it. This tweak makes your UI more smooth and also saves battery as the CPU can be reserved for other purposes.

Ability to apply/disable touchscreen tweaks which should make your touchscreen more responsive.

Major Feature Update:

I have added the feature ROM List, which allows you to see a list of ROM's that you can download and install on your device. If a developer wants to add a ROM, all they need to do is PM me. I will add stable releases from the official CM7 mirrors when they are released.

[b]List of Downloadable ROMS:[/b]

RootXperia - FreeXperia
- Will root your phone when flashed in ClockworkMod Recovery

CyanogenMod 7.1.0.2 [GSM]
- CyanogenMod 7.1.0.2 for the R800 GSM Xperia Play - from CM official mirrors.

Google Apps
- Google Apps for Gingerbread

DarkforestROM RC1 [GSM]
- Based on stock Sony Ericcson .42 ROM, ICS themed, tweaks, official Darkforest Group ROM.

DarkforestROM RC2 [GSM]
- release candidate 2: bloatware removed, back up system apps you wish to keep.

Samsung Galaxy SII Theme
- Samsung Galaxy SII Theme for .42/.58 firmware. Made by thomassafca from XDA.

If you want a ROM/TWEAK added all you need to do is send me a personal message :)

You can also link me to tweaks (anywhere) like the ICS themed framework, I will be adding that soon once I create an update.zip for it.

FAQ:

Why does pressing the back button while downloading not cancel the download?

- I have not yet figured out how to implement that function, to cancel a download, press the home button, open the Downloads application, tick the download and press cancel.

Why does it not apply the tweak sometimes?

- It is a bug, open settings -> applications and force close the app, then try again.

Thanks are very appreciated, soon I may put this app on the market ;)

Suggestions are welcome too!

By the way the JIT I know is from a procurement/supply chain point of view :D
[Xperia Play Android Development] KeiranFTW:
I have tried them, shall post some screens of benchmarks soon.
[Xperia Play Android Development] swebosdev:
Is there anything like this for locked bootloaders?
[Xperia Play Android Development] bornotty:
wow just in time!

gonna update right now =D

[Xperia Play Android Development] bornotty:
here is my result after adding these tweaks =)
[Xperia Play Android Development] MizuhoChan:
Installed these and got a little improvement on my cpu benchmark app. Which program are you using for producing that nice graph?
[Xperia Play Android Development] KeiranFTW:

nice score have you a link to SuperCharger V6 (mega ram 1) by 'zeppelinrox' as i have all the same kernal, rom and speeds only getting scores 1700 something so that other tweek looks good cheers mate thanks.
[Xperia Play Android Development] 91ludesit:
These also worked with the R800X, since they are build.prop edits the R800X is missing as well. Seemed like the UI was smoother.
[Xperia Play Android Development] MizuhoChan:
I copied bornotty's setup, but I have DoomKernel V8 and am using mega ram 2 on V6 supercharger. I ran it at 1.6Ghz also.

This is what I got.

I also wanted to benchamrk these Tweaks on 1.6 Ghz but i fogot that my Play cant handly that frequecy:(. It crashed^^ But i get about 1800 point with 1.2Ghz:)

but i installed it before the tutorial for Arc came out. I followed the original thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=991276

after running the script you can select the tweak you want. I tried few optimization but 'MegaRam 1' is good for gaming on my device

wow.. I'll try the 'MegaRam 2' now and check for improvements =D
[Xperia Play Android Development] poo-tang:
thanks mate
[Xperia Play Android Development] bornotty:
not a huge difference but its good to see a high score :)

this is after using 'MegaRam 2'
[Xperia Play Android Development] Logseman:
I'm not seeing a performancE difference. Build.prop tweaks are good for quadrant, but I suspect they're less decisive in real life (I say it as a jaded Galaxy S tester, where everyone and their mother used quadrant to back their claims up).
[Xperia Play Android Development] poo-tang:
got 2 xperia plays for my web site there is a massive difference between my rooted xp ui with gpu tweek to the out of the box one so much smoother also the touch screen tweek works but not seeing much diff with the jit.

So it seems unsure whether this works on r800x with locked bootloader?
[Xperia Play Android Development] nyvang101:
cant you unlock your bootloader ?
[Xperia Play Android Development] Kasper DG:
Ya. But I would want a 100% working ics or jb ROM. So on that note I'm waiting until my upgrade in a few months.
[Xperia Play Android Development] nyvang101:
well im on JB. and its really stable. ofcause it has some bugs. but the FXP team are really skilled and get stuff fixed and done fast.

CM 10 is now my daily driver. i can live without the camera working untill it get fixed. other then that i havent run in to too many problems.

If you want ICS ther are fully stable ROMS like CM 9,1 i belive its like 99,9% working.
[Xperia Play Android Development] DubleJayJ:
It works on locked. I used this when I first got my R800x.
[Xperia Play Android Development] Dany XP:
With this tweak, the broser is smooth like the ICS default broswer or like the samsung galaxy2 2.3.6 gingerbread browser (video acceleration by samsung)?
[Xperia Play Android Development] Kasper DG:
So I installed all 3 options of this tweak. Here is my feedback. Bravia engine installed, but I don't notice any difference in picture quality. Gpu rendering enabled, but don't notice any difference when loading/playing games. However, I do think the touchscreen mod helped some. I have a screen protector and consistently use my phone with work gloves on. And with this mod it responds better through the gloves than it used to, I believe. Although it seems like it may cause a slight faster battery drain?
[Xperia Play Android Development] Dany XP:
About GPU Rendering, just run Quadrant and see for yourself
[Xperia Play Android Development] Kasper DG:
So I know this is kind of trivial, but could you change the package icon? Maybe to the Sony Ericsson logo or something?
[Xperia Play Android Development] DubleJayJ:
He stopped working on this app a long time ago :P
[Xperia Play Android Development] Hotmaskim:
Arf, too bad !!!!
[Xperia Play Android Development] Kasper DG:
I tried replacing the icons within the apk and everything looks fine, but when I try to install it, it always says Application not installed. Is there a specific way to repackage it? Any ideas?
[Xperia Play Android Development] Slothboy:
Should I put the apk in system/app?

Or Install it like a normal apk?

Did I reinstall the tweak on my new phone? I restored my system backup from the old phone to the new one, so I imagine the tweak was still there. So i ran the app and clicked disable touchscreen mod, rebooted, then again and rebooted. We'll see what happens.
[Xperia Play Android Development] wuby:
Reflash the ROM.
[Xperia Play Android Development] Kasper DG:
Does clicking on disable not work? Otherwise I will have to reflash stock ftf then restore everything using titanium backup. I've never ran a custom ROM.

[Xperia Play Android Development] Franzferdinan51:

[Xperia Play Android Development] DubleJayJ:
This app is no longer being developed. It stopped a long time ago.
[Xperia Play Android Development] MizuhoChan:
I saw a little increase in FPS in my test video. I'm not sure if it was this or SuperCharger though. Maybe a combination of both.

I hadn't heard of SuperCharger before I saw it in botnotty's signature.

So yeah, a good improvement. And my menu seems smoother, which would be the hardware acceleration.

Now my Play would be perfect, if only I could get mkv's to play with hardware acceleration too.
[Xperia Play Android Development] poo-tang:
