PayPal have recently released an application for Android, yet they have bizarrely only released it in the US... preventing UK users from using it. Now, theoretically it is possible to ask a US residing friend to provide you with a copy of the APK... but this means the application won't appear in your 'My Downloads' list in the market, and therefore you won't automatically get updates etc.

There is a better way!

An application by the name of 'Market Enabler' is the answer. This application is designed to let people from countries that don't have the ability to purchase apps do so - it effectively makes your device think it's in the US, giving you access to the US market. By installing this, switching region, installing PayPal, switching region back and then uninstalling Market Enabler (if you desire), you end up with the PayPal app on your device and in your 'My Downloads' (as shown in this screen shot).

The downside? You need a rooted device

please note that this app have been pullout from us market.

enjoy

is it possible to downgrade with goldcard?!?

i can't understand anything anymore...some say it isn't possible, some say it is...

i've tried to downgrade using goldcard and could not do it.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Seelbreaker:
Some people could install the 1.5 RUU and downgrade with this. Try it.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] casca:
with what? I don't see anything in your post !
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Otze:
I could downgrade from official 2.1 to 1.5 with a goldcard. Afterwards I rooted my Hero and flashed it with a 2.1 custom rom.

[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] casca:
give us some more details, like which rom you had and which one you installed.

Important... DID YOU USE RUU files? or FOTA ?

sorry for double posting,I just want to ask,how do u flash the second update.zip?

Edit:btw,I did some research and found out that it needs custom recovery to flash this,but in order to do that u need to backup custom recovery (which won't work on the official android 2.1 update from HTC) and then flash the custom recovery,so how did u flash the second update.zip?

[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ng LC:
Wat is RUU? btw,I've update mine through OTA update from HTC.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pulser_g2:
Don't worry, RUU is the version that wasn't rootable till now :) The exe file run on the PC.

OTA is easily rootable if you want using goldcard IIRC
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ng LC:
How? is there a tutorial for rooting a OTA 2.1?
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pulser_g2:
Just use this method. It will work fine :)

http://www.villainrom.co.uk/viewtopic.php?f=110&t=2096

Easier IMHO than goldcard once you set up adb (just read the guides linked)
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bugmenever:
I confirm the above method works fine. I updated HTC 2.1 RUU from India and unable to root until I saw the above method. It works great and I am running villain rom now.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pulser_g2:
Good to hear it's working on all localizations of the rom. Enjoy villain ;)
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Iluvia:
Hi,

Maybe stupid question, but does the method work on a 2.1 received by OTA, or only for 2.1 installed with RUU exe?

I heard the ROMs were not the same ...

Thanks
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pulser_g2:
That method works on any 2.1, regardless of if it was ota or ruu.

I would recommend it for ota as well, as it is easier than the gold card method if you are a beginner.

Thanks for the response, will try this as soon as possible

Another question, is it possible, once rooted recovery installed, to root the official rom using these commands / files :

adb shell mount /system

adb push su /system/bin/

adb push Superuser.apk /system/app/

adb shell chmod 4755 /system/bin/su
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ng LC:
so does it include chinese language in it?
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pulser_g2:
Ummm. Possibly. I would imagine so. If not, there's a pure rooted update.zip at http://www.villainrom.co.uk/viewtopic.php?f=100&t=1973
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dancollins:
I did exactly that and it did work *but* in fairness, I had the OTA update instead of the RUU, and already have the engineering SPL (2007), so that might affect things... So as pulsar has said, the villainrom link is probably the easier approach!

The engineering SPL allows me to use the old fastboot hack, so I can load up a recovery without installing it (but I might try the villainrom way at the weekend). However, the net result should be the same, once a custom recovery is loaded you can adb shell onto the phone with root access.

The only comment I would make about doing it "manually" is that the OTA ROM didn't leave any space on the System partition, so do get Superuser.apk and su on there, you have to move something off to /data. I moved maps.apk IIRC and QuickOffice.apk and they were a) large, and b) what one of the other rooted ROMs had done (Lox's one I think).

But it was a good learning experience for me anyway!
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Iluvia:
Confirm it's working ... but, unable to start in recovery mode again (Home+power), stucks at red alert icon screen ....
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ng LC:
this method doesn't flash (install) the custom recovery to ur phone,it needs ur computer to run the custom recovery to ur phone...

Edit: BTW,at 1st,I also thought that it flashes the custon recovery to my phone,but I soon realise it needs a computer to run the code in order to load custom recovery to ur phone.

BTW,thx anon2122 !!

all this tech keeps me wondering where we would be in 10 years
[Desire General] rovex:
I think Qualcomm have finally realised that their pricing structure was not helping them out. By charging extra for decent drivers they were hurting their own image since it was causing fragmentation. The Hummingbird and A4 GPU kills the snapdragon as it is, although the CPU isnt any better really.

Hopefully this will see Android getting much better games and movie playback and encoding.

So, I've created my first theme.

EDIT: Version 0.6 is out -- check it out.

It is a Desire like theme, with a black bar and colorful icons.

This theme is still a work in progress, so watch for updates. I will try to keep it updated as CM6 updates are released, so watch for that as well.

This theme works wonderfully on CyanogenMod 6.0.0 STABLE on the Nexus One, should work on other HDPI devices (EVO4G, DROID Incredible, etc). It may work on 854x480 devices (DROID), but I'm not sure. Give it a shot, if it works for you, let me know!

A special thanks goes out to Formel-LMS and MicroMod777, for their themes are which this theme is based off of.

Download and more screenshots on my blog: http://www.unforgivendevelopment.com/

OBLIGATORY DISCLAIMER: I am not responsible for anything that happens to you, your phone, your computer, your mom, your girlfriend, etc. I will try my best to help you out, please bear with me.

PROTIP: If you have issues applying this morph, first, try again, second, adjust your speed in the metamorph settings and try again. If you would like to revert, reflash your base ROM (and GAPPS).
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] JamieD81:
morphed this, looks awesome

did get about half my apps showing up duplicated in the launcher though.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] unforgiven512:
Well, that is quite odd.

I had no issues here, and quite honestly, I have no idea what would cause the icons to duplicate. Hmm...

Thanks for the props though!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] JamieD81:
ill look into it, its prob just my phone

everything else is fine, its nice to have a blackbar on froyo with transparency to it instead of a solid pulldown color
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] cdw9800:
good stuff man only this i can tell that could be updated is when i pull down the status bar "t-mobile" is black/dark grey is that by design?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] unforgiven512:
Yeah, I noticed that as well. I still gotta change that to white.

I'm quite tired though, and I was getting ready to head to bed.

I will put out 0.3 tomorrow, fixing that.

Thanks again guys, enjoy!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] unforgiven512:
Sorry it took me a couple days to get the update out there, I spent the weekend at the Great Blue Heron Music Festival. While it was a blast, it did delay me getting the update out.

The only thing that has been changed from 0.2 is the network name color from black to white.

However, I would like some feedback. Do you think it would be cool if I made the text RED while roaming?

What else would everyone like to see out of this?

I'm also thinking about changing the LED colors on a per-app basis...

GMail = Red

Google Voice = Purple

Google Talk = Yellow

etc...

What do you think about that?

Come on guys, help me out!

Morphed this with metamorph and now my settings and menu>widgets crashes with the note "android.processes.acore has crashed" Any help?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] unforgiven512:
Grab me a logcat? Also, perhaps try to re-morph it at a different speed? I have mine at 4200 and have had no issues. And where exactly is this occuring again? Can you clarify it a little better so I can attempt to re-create it on my end?

I'm sorry that you're having issues and I would like to help, but you gotta help me help you =D
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Eddiemc:
I got rid of my issues with "android.processes.acore has crashed" by dissabling screen cache in adw launcher settings...

Basically I'm running 7 screens with scrolling widgets for messages and calendar (pure).

Flicking a few times back and forth between screens and scrolling the widgets would cause the error time and time again until I disabled that.

Now the scrolling is not as nice as before, but the prosess doesn't crash.

The morph works without issues on my n1.

-e

----edit--

Request for battery percent if it can be done:)

Some roms have started including it, and I'm sure cyan will on next alpha, but until then it would be nice to morph it in..

Apart from that, all good. I like it simple. Perhaps add some colored settings (like my screenshot) that would match the settings app..
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] rookie1082:
Will this work with CM6.0a1 and launcher pro replacing ADW as default launcher in system/app?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] joeyweaver:
I'm also looking for some info on using themes in cyanogen with launcher pro. Is there anything out there?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] unforgiven512:
Yeah, that sounds pretty intensive. 7 screens lol. I'm using 5, with quite a few widgets, with no issues.

I will try to incorporate those features for you.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

I don't see why it wouldn't work with Launcher Pro, at least in its current state, I don't touch the Launcher.apk at all.

May I ask why you prefer Launcher Pro to ADW? I'd just like some insight, I've never really looked into LP.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] THATTON:
LP is MUCH Faster than ADW!!! That is one reason. I know it is close sourced but it is definitely faster at the moment. We will see what happens with updates.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] cdw9800:
i think the led colors per-app sounds like a good idea
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] THATTON:
Will this work with the Nightly Builds for CM6?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Eddiemc:
I think it will break battery percent on the nightly builds...

To get battery percent I believe the changes are in services.jar, and since this metamorph modifies that to get white text then it might break. (I'm not sure though)

I will try later today though, so we'll see:)

Perhaps the op would be so nice as to create a temp morph for the nightly build *wink* *wink*

----edit----

Yea, nightly build is on, and its sweet:)

The morph will break a lot of stuff, but I reckon if we remove the xml/jar files from the metamorph, and just apply framework.png's it will work fine.

CM6 nightly will let you change all text colors to whichever you want through settings, so the morph need only to contain .png's...

---edit2---

Removed the "services" folder, and the "layout" folder (in framework res), edited the sexyblack .xml to remove the entry for the files I deleted, and now this work perfect on cm6 nightly!!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] unforgiven512:
Hey all, I played around a little today with building CM from source. Pretty sweet stuff.

I will put out a version tomorrow that will work with the nightlies.

And yes, it will be a hell of a lot easier because the color control is incorporated in CMParts.

I'm off to bed, long night.

Thanks again guys!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] THATTON:
Can you post these modifications?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] unforgiven512:
New version is out, with support for the nightly builds.

The nightly builds do, in fact, support battery%.

Check out the OP for details.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Eddiemc:
@thatton: With 0.4 now out, you won't need my changes to 0.3;)

@unforgiven512

In case you'd want some more framework mods, here's my edited version of your metamorph.

I've swapped most png's, so you might not recognize it as yours.. (bits of evil, kang, rodrigues, yours and my own)

After cm6 final I might release something like this in my name.. (If I do I'll make the xml changes and give you cred)

Anyway, I reckon the colored settings menu would suit your mod nicely, so they are yours if you want them:)

One problem though with color menu is that a lot of apps uses their own png's, so to get full color menu in apps, their respectable ic...png's need to be changed. I've done it for the browser, but there are still a lot missing...
