Don't be scared to flash, this is why we got a Google phone. The data issue is a known issue with the phone/LTE network in general. Make a backup and flash what you want and see what happens.

My impression of this ROM is that it is very fast and smooth. Everything works except wireless tether, and I think NFC but I don't use that. Roman claims to have created a fix for the data drop and I would have to agree that the issue is much better. I used to have to leave the 4G off, I'm in a marginally covered zone, but with this ROM I'm seeing much better 4G.

Please refer to Roman's XDA thread for this rom:

Alright guys.

I'm facing some issues here... Facebook has updated or something and now it doesn't show up in the 2.2 Market. 3.4 Market shows it but it says it's uncompatible and I can't install it.

Espier Launcher (another app I like) has two versions. 2.1 shows in 2.2 market. Both show in 3.4 market BUT the first one, even though it says it works for 2.2 and above, the market says it's incompatible.

This is a very big PITA because I'm tired (yes, TIRED) of trying apps that aren't compatible and they work very happily on my Magic, so they should stop the fuss and let us install everything and let us decide if the app works or not... it's not google's problem to solve, but the app developer's instead.

Now, I'm working on this and I need your help. I've had *some* success with making the device think it has GB installed instead of Froyo, however, the market crashes upon loading (the same goes for Maps which randomly FCs upon reboot).

---

On a sidenote, for the ones who go like "Y U USE FROYO D:" go flash my ROM and find out why, and ALSO it doesn't make a difference in this issue so don't tell me that it does because I've already tried this in other CM7-based ROMs.

---

I've found out that some of the build.prop properties (specially ro.build.* and ro.device.*) can fake this out to make some apps available. I've also tried to change the LCD density but it doesn't make any difference. The idea is to find out a good matching fingerprint which works for all apps (or for most, if possible).

I'm willing to give a go at your suggestions and tries and share my findings. That is, if you guys are willing to help me in this endeavour, too :).

Any thoughs, suggestions, advice, etc. are greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance :)

[myTouch 3G, Magic General] badikhi:
I'm having the same problem. the annoying thing is that I used most of the apps that are now incompatible with my device.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] darkguy2008:
Hey, really? That seems to have happened to me too. I wanted to install alarmdroid last night and somehow it didn't appear in the market. I assume it's because it's incompatible now. I mean... WTF?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] badikhi:
Hi Darkguy

I hope we can find a solution for this problem.

here is something that looks promising but I could not make it work:

lol, I cant post links yet...

BTW: I love your ROM, me and my wife use it and its fast as hell : good job there...
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] darkguy2008:
Me too!

Oh, I've seen that link but I didn't give it much testing. However I'm trying it both with old market and new, clearing cache/data from market/google services framework and such and it doesn't seem to work. At least, NOT that fingerprint. I've tried a GB fingerprint and it causes some FCs on Maps and Market, so there must be something in that fingerprint which doesn't trigger a change or something.

Hehe, I'm really glad you two like and use the rom :D my ROM makes couples happy, yay XD!

Yes, I've also tried 2.3 Market (which I've just found and I'm gonna use as a new market) and it doesn't do anything.

I've also tried clearing cache/data from GSF & Market prior to testing all these build.prop changes. Something is really effed up there in the market :/
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] badikhi:
No success

I tried all these changes in build.prop and even tried changing the build.prop before installing the ROM again. this method does not seem to work.

I have 1 question. why do we have a build-SAPHIRE.prop? does it do anything or just a backup?

thanks
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] darkguy2008:
I'm looking for info on the Froyo market now. It seems the solutions are a bit different, so I'm trying them out now :)

Hmn, now that you mention it... I've put it in all the ROMs I've tried or used back when I was editing GingerYoshi and making this ROM because I think it added some info needed for the phone. Looking at it now, it seems to be somewhat of a culprit, so I've removed it and I'm gonna give these solutions another try now, so thanks for pointing it out! :D

It also seems like clearing cache+data from Download Manager helps too, along with Google Services Framework and Market. Or so I read somewhere :P
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] darkguy2008:
I F***KIN' DID IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'll post updated instructions soon :D

---

OKAY... it seems that the Market caches data on the server too, associated to your google account.

Now, this problem only seems to appear if you install Market 3 and then go back to Market 2, if you do, the apps flagged as incompatible will disappear no matter what you do. At least, that's how I messed up my market... but I did so AFTER uploading the 0.3.8 U1 so it's weird that some of you have got the same problem.

The idea seems to make Market clear the data once it's downloaded on the phone and by consequence clears it when it synchronizes with the web server (it's just a theory), which seems to fix the issue.

There IS a solution and this is the working one:

1. Go to manage applications, all tab.

2. Go to market, clear cache, data and force stop

3. Go to Google Services framework, clear data and force stop

4. Edit the following build.prop lines to be the following (Some of these lines may already be correct)

ro.build.id=GRJ22

ro.build.display.id=GRJ22

ro.product.name=soju

ro.product.device=crespo

ro.build.description=soju-user 2.3.4 GRJ22 121341 release-keys

ro.build.fingerprint=google/soju/crespo:2.3.4/GRJ22/121341:user/release-keys

5. Reboot phone, and give it a bit of extra time to startup before opening the market.

6. Open market, agree to TOS.

7. Go to manage applications, all tab.

8. Go to market, clear cache and force stop (DO NOT CLEAR DATA)

9. Go to Google Services framework, clear data and force stop

10. Open market, and you should get an error. (This is good)

11. Restart phone again.

This is taken from ( http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1133702 ) (THANKS! btw ^^).

Now, following these steps is VERY, VERY important. You must repeat all of them (except editing the build.prop if you've already modified it) until you get the error as in step 10 and reboot the phone. If you can't see the apps again, well the workflow is the following one:

1. Clear all data/cache/etc from market/gsf.

2. Go back to market and see if the LICENSE TERMS appear. If they don't, reboot, clear data, etc. until it does.

3. AFTER the license terms appear, do steps 5-11. The "DO NOT CLEAR DATA" warning is VERY important, else IT WON'T WORK.

Now... for FroyoDragon, I'll post an updated version and a fixed build.prop for ya guys maybe tomorrow or around this week ^_^. YAY!

Also, it seems that removing the build.sapphire.prop file helped in the process of market detecting the build.prop changes, so kudos to badikhi! ^^

[myTouch 3G, Magic General] satur9:
darkguy2008 (or anyone),

Any idea if this works on other phones, ie Evo 4G? I have seen other posts which edit the build.prop but the changes are specific to a phone.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] helllmonkey:
I had to do this to my phone, a Droid 2. Several apps I used to have would not download again becasue they are now magically incompatable even though they worked just fine before.

Anyway, I went through the steps a few pages up. All I changed in build.prop was model and manufactuer. I changed it to Nexus S, and Samsung. The apps are now showing back up on my phone. However, when I go to market.android.com on my computer, it was still showing as the droid 2. I removed it, but now its not showing any devices for my account, so I can download from the market that way.

Ill give it some time and download a few apps and see if the servers get updated in a bit. But, at least from the phone, this works great.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] darkguy2008:
Indeed it is, thanks for the suggestions =).

I think I can, yes.

In theory it should, just as long as you have build.prop. Look at what the guy with the Droid 2 did and it could help your phone too. I'm really impressed to know that it doesn't work on the Evo 4G, which is a fairly recent phone... :/

That's alright, it's good to know the steps worked for you :). I might give it a try and change it to Nexus S & Samsung and see if it helps - so it's cleaner that way. Thanks for sharing your results :)
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] darkguy2008:
Hmm, I've got a few doubs now:

Do any of you see Google Talk in the market? along with Facebook, AlarmDroid, Google Maps and such? if you can see those apps, can you share your build.prop? THANKS!

I also have a few questions:

1. Does this happens on GingerBread markets/ROMs?

2. Does this happens on devices which have Froyo or GB as stock ROM? (such as recent devices)?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] badikhi:
You can't see Google Talk in the market. It's not there. That's the reason I asked you to include it in your ROM. you have to take it from the gapps zip. If you need a gapps for froyo I can send you the 1 I use with your ROM and it works for me.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] darkguy2008:
Oh, I see. Sure, send it, I'll give it a look ^_^!

But is that normal? I mean, should GTalk appear in the market or are Maps/Gmail the only which should?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] daeron666:
darkguy, did you update the working build.prop in the 0.3.9 version?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] darkguy2008:
Yes I did, but the market's still screwed up so it's a matter of luck. If it doesn't then try the steps here and it should.

Another thing I did was to apply the 160 density update.zip right after flashing FroyoDragon 0.3.9 then went into the market and it seems it did the job, then I went back to 135 and it's still working cool.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] daeron666:
oh no, it doesn't work....!!
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] VirtualJunky:
I tried this on my LG Esteem and now it wont even turn on..any ideas on how to fix this or am I pretty much screwed?

-Edit-

If your phone won't turn on after trying this, boot into safe mode, replace the backup which should be on your SD card with the one in /system/build.prop.

Also note that you will need to force shutdown, if you shutdown normally Android crashes and does not save the changes made.

Boot back up and all should be good again. :)
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] helllmonkey:
Update, when using the market from my PC, the phone in my account now shows up as a Nexus S. I guess it just took a while for the servers to clear out and update.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] darkguy2008:
Yeah, Google servers are weird and stupid in their own way, that's also why the market's screwed up :/
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] darkguy2008:
Well, somehow, the Nexus S / samsung thing doesn't seem to work:

Market shows I have a Nexus S (I wish, LOL) but even so, Facebook shows as uncompatible (and the button says "Installed", LOL, way to go Google).

I downloaded CM7 ICS for Nexus S and put the fingerprint & build id but it doesn't seem to affect in any way. The real values which matter for Market seem to be Model & Manufacturer, but Nexus S & Samsung don't work as much as my previous findings.

Is anybody willing to share other build.prop model & manufacturer suggestions to try?

[myTouch 3G, Magic General] darkguy2008:

Max Payne on Evo 4G LTE

I just got the Evo 4G LTE and I'm trying to buy Max Payne but it says it's not compatible.

I've also tried a few of the guides out there to modify the build.prop without success but this looks like one of the more active discussions on the topic. I'll have to give this method a try later to see if I can get the app to work on this state of the art phone LOL.

Since it's a paid app, asking for the full .apk is against the forum rules, isn't it? Search google, I found some cracked versions - but you need to realise that they are mostly older versions, which don't work all that well.

But if I remember right you can uninstall and reinstall the trial version and it will again work for 3 days. Have you tried that? If your trip is shorter then 3 days, or if you'll have internet access at least every 3 days, that should work fine.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] Grift:
Yea i have been uninstalling and reinstalling it every 3days to get a new trial going, only downside to that is that it puts a message on top of screen to buy full version while watching something. its annoying but i guess my little girl can deal w/it when its the only player that will play some of the files. ill just use mx player when it can handle the file i want. wish the developer and google would get the issue resolved keeping it from being available for purchase..
