Hello fellow QVGA screen users. I've got a huawei U1850 and have been trying to get around the market issue, with not much luck finding things I stumbled on this thread to be dissapointed that it no longer works with the latest market. That's when I saw this rom for my phone.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1062069

Here atl4ntis claims that he has patched the 2.3.6 market successfully.

I'm currently using A CM7.1 ROM so i downloaded his ROM, grabbed his vending.apk and pushed it to my phone's System/app directory, and lone behold stuff is showing up (have been doing my testing by trying to access words with friends)

atl4ntis unfortunately doesn't use XDA as his main forum and doesn't visit too often, however try and get in contact with him if you want to work out what he's done.

Other than that, I had already changed my fingerprint when trying earlier fixes. I am using

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

EDIT: These are also required it seems

ro.product.name=soju

ro.product.device=crespo

Which i Copied from a gingerbread Nexus S custom ROM.

I've uploaded the vending.apk from that ROM below. Hope it helps you guys out.

Hey guys,

The marked is FC when i set my LCD density to 110 (when i click on an app) , dunno if its patched marked related.

Not tested with the marked in CyanogenMod 6.1 RC2.

Can i get a confirmation on this one?
[Wildfire Android Development] Sympnotic:
I remember something wierd with the market when changing the lcd density, I used to have it @115, and their were some glitches, principaly UI-related, but nothing terrible.

Didn't tried 110, it looks too small for meh, does this work with a non-patched market ?
[Wildfire Android Development] Profiler08:
Just reflashed the original marked and everything worked like before.

Sent from my HTC Wildfire
[Wildfire Android Development] Sympnotic:
That might be because the patching method is faking a 480*320 phone, I don't think that can be fixed =/
[Wildfire Android Development] :
Just wanted to pitch in and say two thing.

First, thank you for doing and sharing these patched markets :)

Secondly, I have my lcd density at 110 and it's working great. I'm on WildPuzzle v.8.x.x.
[Wildfire Android Development] Profiler08:
That is strange,I just tried again with no success. So the problem is deeper in the rom ..

[Wildfire Android Development] AlexKR91:
I can't install this market. It is because of this, many people might "not working". When i select "yes" and wait it's done - i see "instalation complited", but in menu i can't find market, because when i installed "google apps" i had deleted vending.apk from google-apps.zip

I'm using ClockworkMod Recovery v. 2.5.0.1

EDIT: Also it's not installed on clear CM6.1 RC2 (without gapps)
[Wildfire Android Development] gniles:
after flashing on to cyonagen RC2, the market is completely gone.

Have to flash everything again now :(
[Wildfire Android Development] Deep-Knight:
is the market included in the "CM" Google Apps Pack ?

http://goo-inside.me/google-apps/gapps-mdpi-20101020-signed.zip

Try to install this pack, may be it helps to bring back the market.
[Wildfire Android Development] kevin2516:
You need to flash the gapps package to get market. I thought this was established already. And to thee other guy, why did you delete the vending.apk...
[Wildfire Android Development] Sympnotic:
=> V4 :

- Re-organised first post.

- Re-written FAQ.

- Two versions now avaible :

*v3* = Green background (normal "android green" patched market)

ENjOY! :)
[Wildfire Android Development] Kunaren:
Hi,

I have installed the V4 patch and I still can't see some apps like paypal (I got only 77 results for paypal)

My market is blue, so I think that the patch is succesfully installed

Is there a way to have the missing apps on my market ?

Thanks
[Wildfire Android Development] WackyWookie:
Lol @ v4 xD
[Wildfire Android Development] Sympnotic:
Are you using an OpenFire rom ? if so, you might need to change your fingerprint to this one :

In /system/build.prop
[Wildfire Android Development] 71baker:
I have a small problem. I tried changing my density with LCDDensity. Actually works pretty ok now, i assume because Jacob has changed to MDPI instead of LDPI on CM6 (which i am running). Problem is though, when i have changed density, Market FC's when i for instance use search , get a list of apps , then when i press an app to look at description , FC. Same when i choose Games/All games , FC. If i reboot phone to revert the LCD density, it works again.

Does the Density interfere with the tweaks you have done to market , or is it the app i'm using to change density with that is causing this?
[Wildfire Android Development] Kunaren:
It worked thanks
[Wildfire Android Development] Sympnotic:
Someone had the same problem, it crashed when he switched to 110, right after that someone posted he did the same and it worked flawless... =/

I'll look into that

Only want to let you know about the update.

2.1??

damn, why is v1.82 froyo and v2.12 only eclair

i hate google for the crazy version numbers :/

anyways, great that you allready could patch it that fast ;)
[Wildfire Android Development] HCDR.Jacob:
I flashed the blue one just because it looks pretty :3
[Wildfire Android Development] Sympnotic:
Hmm, actually that's wierd, I can't find anything about this market, and I can patch it like a froyo market, but it requires some "old" permissions (datamessaging and gtalkservice).

Fast web installer page on appbrain said google broke the compatibility with it in 2.12 market.

Where did you get that file btw ?

ps: both patched and unpatched version of this market FCs even with the right permissions and framework, or I forgot some files =/

Heh, I did the same thing, there's no shame, we all know you're a noob anyway :3
[Wildfire Android Development] bluedragon1982:
I found this file on an german android forum (http://www.android-hilfe.de) there was an twitter post to the thread of this file ;)

@paulobrien from modaco also tweeted about this new version yesterday
[Wildfire Android Development] Jungleman_:
I've succefully installed this patched market (thanks to the author now I've Rom manager..), but i don't know if my issue is related to this but since i've installed CM6 RC2 on my HTC Wildfire (and right then installed this patched market), I can't find "Extended Controls" anymore (it worked before, i've buy it on the market and I even have used it for couple of days before is reinstalled the system).

I've contacted the author of the application and he answers me that the app is still on the market and Wildfire users have bought this app yesterday succefully...

I've tried a search and QR but he founds nothin'

(I've tried with MarketEnabler too..)

Can anyone help me ?

Thanks
[Wildfire Android Development] 71baker:
Can only confirm. Cannot find Extended controls or Switchpro another similar widget that i cant remember the name of. (both are control widgets, coincidence?)

Didn't pay much attention since i use the built in on CM6 but i checked it now and both are missing , both bought too btw...
[Wildfire Android Development] Sympnotic:
I found a half-working version, with some extra files, it crashes whenever you press an app or goes to your "downloads".

We'd better wait for an official update, it might be in the next g-apps update.

I tried some things, but nothing concerning this, you could try using "fast web installer" from appbrain, that's how we used to install non-showing apps before the patch.

I'll keep an eye on how to resolve this, sorry

Don't know, does it still shows with an original Market ?

Btw, I cleared some things in my patch, it doesn't show Control Widgets, but it still works and shows me 96 apps searching for "paypal" instead of 93. I'll release it soon.
[Wildfire Android Development] 71baker:
It's not a biggie for me. I think it might even be something else. I am pretty sure i patched v2 on Openfire before CM6 came out , and then i could download both apps. I might Nandroid and fiddle with it someday to see what happens. I think i have some of the older versions here somewhere. Can also try using the one included in CM6.
[Wildfire Android Development] :
I can find both the programs you mentioned (Extended controls & Switchpro) on wildpuzzle v8.x.x with a patch made by Sympnotic a long time ago.. Don't really remember the version, but it was before this thread was started. It's probably one from the wildpuzzle thread though.

@Sympnotic , I can track down the version or just pull it from the phone if that may be of any help to you?
[Wildfire Android Development] Sympnotic:
I didn't touched the Vending.apk resources since V1, nothing changed except the update-script which was incorrectly removing market's cache.
[Wildfire Android Development] Jungleman_:
The issue isn't in the patched market, i've tried couple minutes ago to install a clean version of CM6 without the patch and I can't find Extended Controls neither. I'm trying to install Wildpuzzle but my phone's freezing out on 1st boot...

If it doesn't unfreeze in couple of minutes I'll come back to OpenFire

Edit : The issue is on the CM6 ROM, apps appears normally on OpenFire (without the patch, i'm gonna try with it now).

Edit2 : Found them on OpenFire with your patched market ;)
[Wildfire Android Development] Sympnotic:
Still not understanding why they're not showing in the market, but here's an update :)

[Wildfire Android Development] Sympnotic:
You might need to fake your fingerprint (in /system/build.prop) as stated in a previous post, it seemed to works fine.

Here's the Nexus One fingerprint, CM6 already have this "trick" on, Adeadrat should integrate this fingerprint in his futher builds.

ro.build.description=passion-user 2.2.1 FRG83 60505 release-keys
ro.build.fingerprint=google/passion/passion/mahimahi:2.2.1/FRG83/60505:user/release-keys

what you can do to change that easily, take your build.prop (adb pull or from the rom archive you flashed), edit the two concerned lines, save and add this (build.prop) file under the /system folder in my patched market, flash it under recovery, you should be up and running, with the new fingerprint.
[Wildfire Android Development] Forceflow:
Flashed this on Openfire (latest version).

I'm getting 1594 results for 'video', so I still have the impression that it's not fully as it should be.

Can I solve this by changing my fingerprint?

[Wildfire Android Development] coltrain:
a beginner question here....

what is the different between green and blue version market ?
[Wildfire Android Development] prakka:
The color:D
[Wildfire Android Development] Sympnotic:
Don't know, you could try, changing the fingerprint does nothing except showing "more" apps, from what i've read, it's only used by the market and it's what does each "Eris Market Fix" or similar apps.

Basicly I made the blue version so people saying "this is not working" without any more infos would see their market changing color so they would know it's patched and working.

It's also prettier :3

[Wildfire Android Development] Sympnotic:
Did you try Market Enabler to fake another country and using the market on a wifi connection ?
[Wildfire Android Development] adnanonline:
Yes , but It didn't work because google block IP from Syria :S

So I use OpenVPN and market enabler because It use the sim to discover that I am from Syria :(

[Wildfire Android Development] Sympnotic:
Visible on CM6.1, you're on Openfire right ? You need to change your fingerprint, see previously in this post.

PS: If Adeadrat comes passing-by... Don't forget to fake your rom's fingerprint using the same key as in CM6.1 (faking a Nexus One under FRG83)
[Wildfire Android Development] kevin2516:
For people that don't update to the new market, they don't get that 15 min restriction yea? Not that it bothers me as most apps don't cost a lot and I usually refund asap. I also have the apps I need anyway :D

New market is so sexy.
[Wildfire Android Development] DjoeN:
Working great on my wildfire :)

Just 1 tip:

- Update Titanium Backup (if you didn't do it yet) before you update to the new market, cause it refuses to update because of a bad signed package in the new market.

After I flashed it, I do get the new market but it still behaves like the original market; no Skyfire, no RealPlayer.

I cleared its cache and data but still no joy.

Could you please look into this?

PS: The new Market looks real awesome.

I monkeyed around with the graphics in the vending.apk, replaced the apk in the zip, and flashed the patch. The market is still green. Why?
[Wildfire Android Development] DoiX:
@Nemuro: Because it didn't get installed, replacing the .apk in the zip file won't help, the permissions get altered. Use the kitchen to patch it back or some command shell to change its permissions to proper ones. (don't ask me what they are because i forgot, lol)
[Wildfire Android Development] Sympnotic:
If you're trying to mod the v6 / v2.2.6, you can't :)

Well, not really, /system/app can be messy :)
[Wildfire Android Development] :
The patched market especially V6 has a problem when you wipe install your ROM along with the new market. When you open market the first time with option to re-install all your downloaded applications from google market, multiple downloads starts in parallel. Either all downloads complete or you get an FC. If all downloads complete, the installation does not start. There is some race condition I guess. I therefore disabled the option which tries to get all your previous applications automatically and installed them in smaller chunks of 2.

From the UI perspective, the V6 covers half my screen on (HTC buzz) and leaves very little room to see the app listing in the main screen. For now, I will stick to the trusted old (not too old) friend the patched market V5.2 blue (I am doubly sure that I have it patched)
