Seems the only way to get it to work just for a moment is to patch 7.2.2 and then 7.2.1 right after it. It struck me that the patch never really cleans out the cache even though it says it should... So I mounted all partitions manually and applied 7.2.2 when I rebooted I had to accept license again, so at least that worked, but still no special apps in market, then I went to recovery and flashed 7.2.2 and right after that 7.2.1 without mounting partitions first... This gave me all the special apps like rom manager pro... Downside is it only works for a couple of minutes, so when I need something else I need to reapply the patches in that order, but it keeps doing the trick, be it a what lengthy process...

Can't you do anything with this info sympnotic?
[Wildfire Android Development] damasko:
not working on huawei u8150 with froyo stock rom, deodexed and rooted, plus modified android.hardware.camera.xml for autofocus and flash.

after the job, the market icon doesn't show anymore.

solutions?

after substitution, in the apps menu the ex-market shows named as "#ff808080"

Here's a question - can anyone find Abduction 2 in the patched market somehow? If yes - what country?
[Wildfire Android Development] zexcrazy:
Nope, not even in paid apps
[Wildfire Android Development] vijaykirann:
Hi..I have a long running prob..I tried to flash the patched market and cm permission fix on cm 6.1 stable ..when I try to download anything from market the download processing bar shows up and download doesn't start,the downloading status changes from downloading-downloading paused...even tried flashing market remover..but still the same...

Please help me on that

Sent thru HTC Wildfire
[Wildfire Android Development] MariusWildfire:
why i can't find the official icq app in the market?
[Wildfire Android Development] Forceflow:
Flashing market to CM 6.1 stable still simply *removes* the Market app. Something wrong there, Sympnotic?
[Wildfire Android Development] rallapag:
I have found that the problem associated with no deletion of market data is due to following code in updater-script

mount("MTD", "data", "/data");

if you had checked you recovery log (in cache/recovery/ folder)

it says that is unable to mount data partition

So Sympnotic could you please change it to following to code in order to mount the data partition

mount("MTD", "userdata", "/data");

partition name is according to the partition table from recovery log

[Wildfire Android Development] WackyWookie:
OMFG... I just got 4441 hits on video search using the new nightly #33...! Now to see if it sticks...

EDIT: It's gone when I reboot, but so far it sticks as long as I don't do that: 4444 hits and rom mgr prem and icq are there...
[Wildfire Android Development] zexcrazy:
I'm getting same result with patched and stock market.
[Wildfire Android Development] alangrig:
Without any patches only enabling market access for T-Mobile US I've got video results 2897
[Wildfire Android Development] mac4rfree:
Can somebody guide me how to edit the build.prop ?
[Wildfire Android Development] nhnt11:
slightly off topic... but is it the changes in the build.prop which triggers a long reboot after flashing a new nightly???
[Wildfire Android Development] sevarii:
I have a little problem. I'm using CM7 nightly 35. When I try to search program name "Smsoid" i got no results. I'm patched marek app and have great results with other aplications but still cant fing "Smsoid" in market... In CM6.1 I naturaly found and downloaded this app. Please help this app is really important for me.

Sorry For My English
[Wildfire Android Development] gijs007:
hey im new to android, what is exactly patched in this market?

does it allow me to download paid app's for free?
[Wildfire Android Development] kevin2516:
LOL
[Wildfire Android Development] nunosilva10:
how can i edit my buil.prop ? I've already tryed prop editor but didn't work.

Help :D
[Wildfire Android Development] kevin2516:
Pull build.prop using adb, edit it using notepad ++ or whatever and push it back to /system. make sure system partition is mounted using recovery or adb or whatever.
[Wildfire Android Development] nunosilva10:
thank you, but i dont know how to set up adb on windows 7 :/
[Wildfire Android Development] 3xeno:
Doing a Google Search for "Install ADB on Windows 7" returns hundreds of results. Here's a video you can refer:

[Wildfire Android Development] CosmicDan:
Erm... the Vending.apk in 7.2.2 is corrupted! How did anyone not notice this?!? Anyway, 7.2.1 works great. Thanks for the work!

To those people who are having 'Unpatching' issue, try removing the system/apps/MarketUpdater.apk forcibly (via ADB or, easier, with DroidExplorer) while under Clockwork Recovery. Worked for me!

So glad that AppBrain finally updated the Fast Web Installer to use with the new market :D
[Wildfire Android Development] Serenadier:
Still unable to view full market after flashing & removing multipls times... am on CM 6.1.

Any help on this would be much appreciated... thanks!
[Wildfire Android Development] Marc.:
Will try this later.
[Wildfire Android Development] WackyWookie:
I froze the market updater apk file using titanium backup, didn't work for me, still unpatches after a while, do you think actually uninstalling it will do any better? What's the difference between 7.2.1 and 7.2.2? Won't 7.2.1 miss something?
[Wildfire Android Development] CosmicDan:
Hmm I'm not sure, I deleted the APK instead of freezing. Does freezing work with our S-ON Wildfires? I would try, alas after some messing around I can't even get 7.2.1 to appear anymore either :( I am on Sunaabh ROM and removed lots of stock APK's though, let me do a nandroid backup and flash gapps mdpi, this might get Green Market installed again!

I'm not sure what 7.2.2 has newer as there doesn't appear to be a changelog :S however I have been using the old 1.82 vending.APK (to retain Fast Web Install) and had no problems so far except the 'Similar' tab presents an error.

If I knew more about Linux, my next idea would be to examine this patched market installer script and to remove all write permissions from the patched files. Although that is doubtful; if the system is unpatching itself it would be a super-root thing working behind the scenes...

Another idea is to remove the "Updater" process forcefully, but I think that might break a lot of things! I will also browse through some rules in Droidwall.

Ok let me do some more tinkering and get back to you guys ;)
[Wildfire Android Development] WackyWookie:
Yeah that's exactly my problem as well, it doesn't "stick" tried removing MarketUpdater.apk through adb but this didn't seem to work... It's a shame that I'm able to get these hidden apps but only for a short while... :'(
[Wildfire Android Development] WackyWookie:
@jonusc

Could I get you to confirm something for me...?

I'm using 7.2.1

Could you please:

Close the market through standard android application manager, while you are there clear cache through standard application manager, go to titanium backup and wipe data for the market, start the market and wait for the license agreement to fully load but don't accept yet, instead press home, go to titanium backup and wipe data for market again, go back to market and now accept... This gave me rom manager prem, icq, 27xx video hits etc. if not everything is there keep going back to titanium backup to wipe data and return to the market to see if anything has changed... Do this last part also without closing the market like you did earlier, just press home...

Curious if it works for you too
[Wildfire Android Development] CosmicDan:
Thanks for the tip, will give that a try soon. But right now, as soon as I flash any Market Patch, it simply removes it. Digging back in the thread, I see the original creator mentioned that it is an issue with missing permissions.... thus Android OS hides the APK from menu.... so I will try what you mentioned, as soon as I can even get the patched market to appear! Is anyone else using Sunaabh ROM? Not sure if it's a ROM issue or if I borked the OS along the line somewhere. If I can't get it to work I'll just reflash [EDIT: Reflash ROM] and try from scratch.

Will let you know WackyWookie, cheers.

EDIT: Will probably make a new Installer as soon as I figure this out (installer scripts seem simple enough) - the problem with the Market not appearing that is. I'm sure it is a case of missing permissions, and the original creator has said many times that he doesn't care about fixing it :(
[Wildfire Android Development] Marc.:
Thanks for working on this! I hope you can remove the updater, I think then it will work on Wildpuzzle too! I really want this working on my wildpuzzle :)
[Wildfire Android Development] CosmicDan:
No need to thank, I want it working for myself too... lol....

@WackyWookie - could you do me a HUGE favor? Seeing as how yours is working, share with me your file at /data/system/packages.xml (I don't need the .list just the .xml)? If you are concerned for your privacy, manually remove the lines you do not want me to see haha. And ZIP/PM it to me. Would be very appreciated... Nevermind, I sorted it... *excited*
[Wildfire Android Development] Serenadier:
Anybody able to help? It's frustrating having done the same patch at least three times yet not being able to access the full market. I'm on CM 6.1 stable.
[Wildfire Android Development] Forceflow:
@jonusc:

I'm on CM 6.1, and patching 7.2.2 removes my market. What steps to I have to take to make it patch okay? :)
[Wildfire Android Development] NickHu:
7.2.2 is built from the Vending.apk from the latest GINGERBREAD gapps. It shouldn't/doesn't work on Froyo ROMs, and it's stupid for you to try to make it do so.
[Wildfire Android Development] rallapag:
As per my understanding 7.2.1 is froyo vending.apk

And 7.2.2 is gingerbread apk

[Wildfire Android Development] CosmicDan:
Well excuse me, but I dug through the whole thread finding out what the story is with 7.2.2, this is the first I've heard of it being a Gingerbread APK the original post does not even mention v7.2.2 so I'd advise you to govern your fingers because accusing me of being stupid!

I am making a new patched market from scratch, I have discovered exactly what is wrong with this current one and why it always unpatches or simply doesn't work. I will be asking for testers soon... keep an eye in the Wildfire Android Development forum for a new thread over the next few days....

EDIT: Would be so much easier if we had S-OFF! But ah well gotta make do with what'cha got ;)
[Wildfire Android Development] storms:
Amazing work.

Could I make some suggestions about the first post to help other users:

It would be incredibly useful to state much more explicitly in the first post that:

- 2.1 is for Froyo and 2.2 is for Gingerbread.

- The Market Remover is only for Gingerbread.

- FAQ no 6 could be retitled - so it's clear it only relates to Gingerbread.

Question: For Cyanogen 6.1, at what point should the permissions fix zip file be flashed, immediately after flashing the main modded zip file (before rebooting), or after a reboot, or before the main file even?
[Wildfire Android Development] CosmicDan:
Examining the APK contents, it appears to be a prerequisite (fixes permissions). Just to be safe, I would flash the perm fix, then reboot into OS, then back into recovery, then flash the Market.
[Wildfire Android Development] WackyWookie:
Ah you sorted this already? Cuz I don't give a sh#t 'bout my privacy, you can have anything you ask for if it'll help you progress... Cheers m8

EDIT:

By the way, mine keeps "unpatching" as well, but a quick titanium data wipe fixes this like I explained earlier, it's not ideal, but it'll do for lack of better solutions...
[Wildfire Android Development] axq:
That would be awesome!

Im at CM7 atm but i dont know much about changing the Build.prop.

Therefore i would be really thankfull if someone could make a patched market which only needs to be flashed.

Keep the work up!

Anyways:

Thanks to Sympnotic for the market.

Under CM6 it worked really fine =)
[Wildfire Android Development] NickHu:
All I did was a simple decompile and diff check against the original Gingerbread APK. I said it was stupid for you to try and make a Gingerbread APK work on Froyo, and I highly doubt that you with all your "expertise" can make a patched market "from scratch", especially as you could not work out why 7.2.2 did not work on CM6.1. There's only a couple of lines changed in 7.2.2, and it's a few switches and adding a screen size parameter. It always worked before for patching markets...

There's no APK in the permissions fix.. Again re-affirming me of your "expertise"...
[Wildfire Android Development] Marc.:
If you search a beta tester, i'll try to help you so hard if possible!

Really! I really want to have this working... You can read my posts in this topic earlier, where it doesn't work :(

It's great that someone is working on this again :)
[Wildfire Android Development] CosmicDan:
1) I never claimed to be an "expert", why are you putting words in my mouth? And in that exact paragraph, you yourself mentioned the extemely minor changes that involves the patched market. Hardly expert. If you bothered to read the things I've said, the problems I am trying to address are (a) Permissions missing on all

ROM's, not just CM6.1, and (b) The problem with the Market "unpatching" itself. Both of which I have already remedied on my own Wildfire with manual package registration.

2) I've never even installed CM6.1, where did you get that from? And I didn't try to work out anything, I just extracted the APK from 7.2.2 and Froyo reported it as invalid, so i simply ignored it.

4) I know there's no APK in the permissions fix, that was a typo, I should have said ZIP.

Not sure what your beef is, but I can easily ignore it - and I don't want to carry this on lest a moderator have me banned for trolling. With that said, let's just wait and see how I go before judging me as an idiot OK? Now I could go on and brag about my past accomplishments, but I don't feel the need nor see the point in gaining your approval.

Gotta love the open-source community! :D
[Wildfire Android Development] WackyWookie:
Well said...
[Wildfire Android Development] rallapag:
Hi Jonusc

glad some one could figure it out, could you be happy to share how did you overcome it.

(how did you register the package manually?)

Thanks and all the best
[Wildfire Android Development] CosmicDan:
/data/system/packages.list

/data/system/packages.xml

Flash a stock ROM, with it's original 1.xx market, without net access. Do a dump of those two files. Let the MarketUpdate do it's thing. Redump those files and compare to the originals (with e.g. WinMerge) - the result is self-explainatory.

The trick was to not flash the patched Market to the ROM, but to have it installed just as the official MarketUpdater.apk would (put it into /data/app/com.android.vending-1.apk and point the package registry to the new one). You can try doing this with the existing Patched Market APK, though I'm doing it with 2.12.

I also tried faking the MarketVersion from 2.12 to 6.66 as a brute-method to prevent it being updated, but it didn't work for some reason; and I think this may be overkill anyway. We'll see.

I have not tested to see if the "Unpatching" still occurs yet (busy on making an installer ATM, as well as other priorities, installing IRC on my server to talk on a new Wildfire Gingerbread project with a new team... and right now my Wildfire keeps freezing randomly :(), but at last resort I will create a runtime process that checks the Market data every 60 seconds (for example) and "re-patch" or clear some data/caches if needed. Messy, but as I said - last resort.

Upon quick inspection, it seems the various script-binaries we have to use in ZIP flashing updates do not support text parsing/replacing, at least that I can see; so I'm considering implenting it in the script binary, whatever that new one is called. I haven't gotten that far yet with exploring the syntax. Any help or pointers from anyone on relevant info here would be much appreciated :D
[Wildfire Android Development] Marc.:
Why a zip file? we could adb push it, I think.
[Wildfire Android Development] dom_b:
I'm having some trouble with this...

Started with fresh install of everything on nFinityGB 0.7 (Tattoo CM7).

Flashed 7.2.1 version... worked but couldn't see Angry Birds and only 1k results for 'video'.

Flashed purge tool and rebooted... market gone

Flashed 7.2.2 version... now no market? Vending.apk is in app directory but doesn't show up in ADW (I don't have any custom groups)

Repaired permissions... no difference

Going to flash purge tool again... reboot and flash 7.2.2 again and see if that works.

Any ideas though?

EDIT

Purging the market and re-flashing 7.2.2 did work. Get 1747 results for 'video' and still no Angry Birds. Not sure if this is about right. Anybody else with a Tattoo confirm this? I'm in the UK.
[Wildfire Android Development] rallapag:
I am not aware of Vending version 2.2.12 do you mean V7.2.2 of the patch

in that case

you need to know that 7.2.1 is patched version of froyo vending.apk

And 7.2.2 is that of gingerbread Vending.apk
[Wildfire Android Development] dom_b:
Sorry, corrected above post! Was reading version from title of first post.
[Wildfire Android Development] dom_b:
As you're using the same rom and patch as me can you see angry birds in the market?
[Wildfire Android Development] rallapag:
No don't see angry birds.

I couldn't get the patch work with my gingerbread.

I didn't see any difference in number of resultsof "video" with or without patch

I even modified build.prop as mentioned in the first post.

I was going to try as mentioned by Jonusc few posts up on this page,

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=11306842&postcount=332

will try to do it in the next couple of days and see if that can help.
[Wildfire Android Development] dom_b:
I didn't modify the build.prop to be honest. I'll keep an eye on the thread and see what happens!
[Wildfire Android Development] DjoeN:
is there a new market version?

On my HTC Hero i have market 2.3.2 :)

On my HTC Wildfire it still is 2.2.11
[Wildfire Android Development] DjoeN:
Got today an update, market is now 2.3.2 on my wildfire to :)
[Wildfire Android Development] [sito_web]:
My market doesn't work..

I've installed CM/ RC1 then gapps 20110120 and then market v.7.2.2

I've done full wipe.. If I open the market all ok, but if I try to install an app or go to "my app" it crash..

Where I do wrong?

Thanks =)
[Wildfire Android Development] loveboatcaptain:
sadfully the new market v2.3.2 which got today with cm7 rc1 didn´t show all apps...

hopefully there will be a fix for new version ;-)
[Wildfire Android Development] aggourodolmas:
didn't work for me.

Tried to flash 7.2.2 and after rebooting market was gone. Then flashed Symp.Market.Remover rebooted and finally flashed 7.2.1 but still no luck. Market wasn't there after all.. I had to restore my rom to obtain market again. ADVICE: Is it necessary to do a full wipe before restoring just like flashing a new rom?

Anyway, I still got v1.82 Market...
[Wildfire Android Development] djdevine2:
Sorry I can't get this to work with CM7 even with the various patches! It worked great with WildPuzzle though....
[Wildfire Android Development] windywoo:
I found that if I flashed the market along with a ROM it didn't work. The ROM needed to boot once and launch the old market before I could go back into recovery and flash the symp market.

Hope this helps a few folks.
[Wildfire Android Development] aggourodolmas:
The truth is that I've already flashed the ROM for several months now that means I've already launched old market (v 1.82). Three months later, I decided to flash symp market but the results were as I described them before. Thank you for the Tip though!!

Is it necessary to do a full wipe before restoring my ROM using nandroid backup just like I did when flashing a new rom?
[Wildfire Android Development] philipchou:
how do i fake my fingerprint?
[Wildfire Android Development] aggourodolmas:
use market enabler, if we are talking for the same thing of course!
[Wildfire Android Development] NickHu:
I would not like to see this project die. It is very valuable, I'd be willing to work on anything anyone has to suggest.
[Wildfire Android Development] Phinxy:
So if i want to download this for example:

https://market.android.com/details?...did=simplecode.voice.call.volume&rdot=1&pli=1

I need this patched market? damn.
[Wildfire Android Development] 3xeno:
Pretty much. It's a pain, I agree.
[Wildfire Android Development] Phinxy:
Aww man, is there any other way? like a market enabler for chrome? so i can download it at the computer?
[Wildfire Android Development] nhnt11:
Lol. You need some basic idea of how a server system like this works in general.

Chrome @Server: "Yo dawg, <username> wants this app!"

Server: "Lemme look this guy up."

*Server checks databases for phones stored in your account*

Server: "ROFL he has qvga. Tell him bye bye"

Chrome @you: "Yo, you've got QVGA [booming laugh in the background] sorry you can't have this app"

Server: "MUHAHAHAA I win."

As you see from above, Chrome does not tell anything to the server except your app request. Your phone model is stored in your Google account, and is stored there by Android Market / Google framework from your phone. Which means that we're back to patching your phone. Which is not working yet.
[Wildfire Android Development] 3xeno:
Google the App Name. There are many sites where you can get the APK's. GetJar is a good (legal) place to start.

I lol'ed. :D
[Wildfire Android Development] spaeter:
I need your help! :)

I've tried to flash the green market because I need to install this application

https://market.android.com/details?id=com.verisign.mvip.main&feature=search_result

I've flashed with this file

Symp.Green.market.v7.2.2.zip

and after the flash I reboot the phone. I see the market (version 2.3.6) but I don't find the application required (I cannot find some other application.. i.e. skyfire browser)

How can I check to have the patched market on board? is there a particular application to search?

I'm using CM 7.0.3.

Last question: can someone with the patched market search the application Vip Access and tell me if he can install it or not?

Thanks for your help.
[Wildfire Android Development] Alex_GP:
Yo Dawg I heard you like Servers, so we put a Server in your server so you can be a client while you are a client.

Someone had to say it :P
[Wildfire Android Development] bpye:
Hm, I attempted to patch the market APK and it builds fine however no change when used. I made it always think it was density 160, height 800 and width 480 with the same patches this uses, no dice.
[Wildfire Android Development] nhnt11:
AFAIK nobody has been able to patch the latest market because google added some code which works around the "fix".

People have posted about this elsewhere, the farthest anybody has been able to get (including me) is that it works when first opened, then unpatches itself on re-opening.
