Any updates on this? i am curious about how this app works, but so far, everytime i install it, it changes the name in Google Device Manager, but i still can't download blacklisted apps...
[Android Software Development] jade01win:
why i getting Token Not Found on my android device , my android is Nougat 7.1.2 and my device is Asus Zenfone 2 Z00A
[Android Software Development] usalabs:
Google device manager still shows the default device.

OK, so I wanted to install CM 3D Launcher for my tablet, which by the way has a custom rooted firmware, and if I can play high-end GFX games, then CM Launcher should work, the tablet has a quad core CPU, Android 5.0 (impossible to upgrade) and 32GB storage, but when I try to install CM Launcher from the play store it tells me it's incompatible with the current device, so I downloaded and installed market helper, then set it up as a Samsung Galaxy S5 phone with USA carrier T-Mobile, then hit Activate, it said the device was activated and to go to the google device manager to see the change, so I touched the provided link on the popup, and it took me to my google account device manager which still showed the default device as being "RCA Tablet" instead of Samsung S5, which tells me that Google has got wise to "Market Helper" and somehow blocks it.

Sooooo, IMO, launchers are just that, app launchers, so if it says "Incompatible with your current device", and the device is a non-phone tablet, then it actually means, "we want to download your contact list so that we can send out spam and sell those phone numbers to telemarketers, but to do that it has to be a phone, and that's why the launcher is incompatible with your device"

Other launchers work perfectly even the 3D ones.

Sooo, if an app says it's incompatible and you're trying to install it on a non-phone tablet, then you know it will work on a phone because a phone has a contact list whereas a non-phone tablet doesn't, and therefore can't be sent to a 3rd party for selling to telemarketers.

What do I have to write in build.prop to make my device think I'm on a different one? Ive been trying everything and its not working, please help...
[Android Software Development] Ibuprophen:
Well... I had just finally released the second one of my developments I've been working on for too many months and now i should be able to get another one going soon.

I apologize for the delay. I had 1 i was keeping up with while having to revamp it as another development till i finally got finished and had released that one to discontinue the first one and then pick up where I had left off with a third one and i had just released that one.

Now i can pick up on the Market Helper shortly as the next one in line to see what can be done to reboot it.

I can't guarantee that it'll be successful but, I'll see what I can do. Depending on if I can do anything with it as well as how much would have to be done, it could potentially take a long time to figure it out.

I'll keep you all up to date on any milestones regarding the Market Helper.

Thank you!

Well I've been working on it some and I do believe that I know why, beginning with v2.0 Beta, the app began to freak out.

The Developer had streamlined the device information by looking at a location (not sure as of yet) for the Android device information that it needs for the device it's installed on and the list of device options to fake.

Up to the release of v1.1, the app itself had all of the device details already in it.

It's a bit of a challenge in locating where exactly where the breakdown has happened but, I've just begun the journey.

It could be as simple as locating and correcting the target location where the app is trying to get the device information from or it could be more complex than it seems.

Anyway, that's where I'm at right now and I'll let you know more as I journey into the Market Helper Abyss... LMAO :)

[Android Software Development] Ibuprophen:
It's not working...

It looks as though the Developer had abandoned the app.

I'm seeing what I can do to get it working again and it's not an easy job to do.

No guarantees if it can be modified to work but, if there is then I'll find it somehow.

It could take a few days, weeks, months, etc...

We'll have to keep our fingers crossed! :thumbup:

Would it be possible to make my tmobile tablet look like a phone so i can use my sim card in it?
[Android Software Development] Ibuprophen:
That's a completely different area all together.

The Market Helper is to spoof the Play Store in thinking that you have a different device.

What your looking for is to change the device itself and that's something that I've got very little knowledge of in itself.

Sorry...

Let me know if you need a tester or a few bucks to help out, Ibuprophen. My Kobo Arc 10HD needs you. ;)
[Android Software Development] Ibuprophen:
HA-HA!!! :D

You made my day!

Of all my Developments I've released, I think that your the first member to offer any money towards anything.

I would have to say, though I'm making some headway with this, it's still up in the air if I'm going to be able to ultimately accomplish the task.

This app is unique as opposed to the other apps I've developed and involves some items that I'm either very rusty in or have not ventured in.

The biggest thing I've accomplished is preventing the app from forcing an update when using the last known working release.

Anyways... I've also been working on updates to my other developments and some other minor things but, i used to use the Market Helper App for a long time and after not using it for a long while, i came back to an abandoned and inoperable version that was a big bummer for me.

I can't guarantee when (AND IF) a stable beta version would be ready to test but, I'll announce it when looking for some testers.

Thank you very much for the offer and making my day!

Please take care. :thumbup:

[Android Software Development] GenghisKhan67:
Thanks. I think it's only natural for users to give back when they can to help development... I sent a few bucks to Teleferic a while back for his work on the Kobo 10HD (https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=67331982&postcount=172), he did excellent work to get CyanogenMod to work on a device that is very capable but was abandoned by Kobo as a result of poor sales. :crying:

BTW, there are refurbished Kobo tablets floating around on eBay, directly from Rakuten Kobo, for a very nice price. I bought a 10HD and a 7HD for under $100 (for both!) a couple of weeks ago.
[Android Software Development] salty72:
Another potential contributor/user

I would like to be the 2nd monetary and/or testing contributor.

I'm also a buyer of the cheap Kobo Arc10HD recently floating on eBay.

Please let me know when and where you would like the contribution.

The tablet seems to be just powerful enough for my kids and parents but the Play store 'blocking' is intensely frustrating. I've tried tweaking the build.prop file but I have not found the secret sauce.

Currently, its blocking apps such as Google Chrome even though its compatible and has been working through sideloading.
[Android Software Development] Ibuprophen:
I just wanted to stop by to say Hello and that I'm still here.

I have been working on this some more but, I've also been bouncing around with this and other things to include home life.

Still no guarantees but, I've been persistent with a glimmer of hope for this app.

Thank you ALL very much for your time, patience and understanding with this.

I was referring to the Kobo tablets (which I looked into and aren't very impressive) but if you could get this working again that would be awesome. I swear I tried this earlier this summer and it worked so he must have shut down the servers recently.
[Android Software Development] Ibuprophen:
It's actually the Google area that the app looks to for information. The only thing that looks to his server is regarding app updates.

This is not an easy task and could, potentially, take quite some to figure out.

Thank you for the vote of confidence... LMAO! :)

Thanks [MENTION=4828250]Ibuprophen[/MENTION] for attempting to bring this app in working state again, even if it doesn't work in the end. I appreciate your time toward this abandoned project, hopefully we will be able to see some results, positive ones soon :fingerscrossed:
[Android Software Development] Pyr0ball:
Big thanks to [MENTION=4828250]Ibuprophen[/MENTION] from me as well for working on this.

Solved the "Account not found" error already by manually giving permissions to the app:

Settings > apps > Market helper > permissions > make sure all three (phone, contacts, storage) are enabled

I'm having the "token not found" error as well. Running phoenixOS (7.1.2) on a Dell tablet. Would be great to have this working.
[Android Software Development] Ibuprophen:
I do apologize for not providing some type of status update...

I had to put this project aside for a little while for my other projects (Released and Unreleased).

I've been going back and forth with working on it though.

I do know that the Token error is because of the app querying the Google server for device information that's, apparently, not working correctly.

At one time, this app used to have the device information implemented within it but, the developer had updated the app to query the Google server for a more up-to-date device listing.

The challenge is to either try and fix the server information or to implement the information back in.

Both of them are a real big challenge to accomplish which is why i haven't completed it yet.

Thank you all very much for your time, patience and understanding with this.

[Android Software Development] Ibuprophen:
I feel the same way as many members do.

I used to use this app on and off since it first came out then I had stopped using it for approximately 6 +/- months and then the current situation had arose with the latest version.

I am a fan of the app and, believe it or not, the developer does still receive donations to help encourage the further development with nothing to show for it (that really boggles me too).

Out of professional courtesy, as a developer, i can't state that this is a bad developer and I know that this developer knows what he's doing but, should, at least, either support the development or announce something. Even if it was announced that the development is at an end.

Anyways, I can only keep my fingers crossed and THANK those of you who are providing positive support feedback.

I've got a few other items on my plate and even a development being beta tested by a few select members.

It's called TheTVDB Connection app. It's a type of a Reboot for a long abandoned TheTVDB app that was an Unofficial one that TheTVDB folks scrapped the idea for an official one.

So I'm very busy with other projects but, this is one i still have hope for...

Stay positive my friends!!!

[Android Software Development] Caligula36:
TOKEN NOT FOUND

What to do now?
[Android Software Development] Ibuprophen:
Stop using the app...

Honestly, the app is pretty much broken.

The reference to the "Token" is regarding the app no longer being able to locate your device information within Google.

The older version of this app used to have all of the device information within it but, over time and due to the fact that there was so many devices, the developer decided to have the app look for the device information using the Google API's.

This was a very smart and clever move for the developer BUT, the developer had, very unexpectedly, abandoned the app.

Google had updated their systems (to include their API's as well) and now the app is no longer able to work.

This is on my "to-do" list in attempting to revive/reboot this app somehow but, to be honest, I can't guarantee that I will be able to, ultimately, accomplish this.

There's just too much on my plate right now and I'm not sure exactly when I'll be able to take this on (No ETA's).

I'm hoping, in the meantime, that another Dev will take it on and jump start it.

Sorry for the bad news... Good Luck!

I ACHIEVED TO CORRECT THE ERROR: "There is no Internet connection currently available

(Translated with google)

I ACHIEVED TO CORRECT THE ERROR: "There is no Internet connection currently available, connect a Wi-Fi or cellular data network and try again." I just installed the program. What I did was:

1 - I installed "Marquet Helper". Here the error appeared: "Currently there is no Internet connection available, connect a wi-fi or cellular data network and try again"

2 - Close the programs.

3 - Go to "Settings - Applications - All", the "Market Helper" program, I went in and gave it "Delete data".

4 - I went back to "All", I searched the "Google Play Store" program, I went in and I gave it "Clear data".

5 - I opened the "Market Helper" (There it worked). I did what the video says.

6 - When I go to open the "Play Store" he asks me to enter with an email. (Obvious, we just deleted the application data).

7 - We enter and READY.

Fun fact: Sometimes WhatsApp takes time to appear compatible. It took me more than 15 minutes to let me install it. I thought the program had not worked.

For this you need to grant the rights to access contacts and storage, manually. I had the same error message, too, which was fixed after I went to the settings and edited the app permissions. There weren't granted any before.
