[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] benjymous:
But is that patched to show 320x480 apps? (which is what this thread is about) - I've got the new version, but it only shows the qvga apps.

*edit* thinking about it, I don't think I'm going to go installing random apks, without knowing anything about who's modified them
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] shokmah:
I can confirm It can pass the last update, I have got the update and still can see 320x480 apps.

Fix is STill persistent.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] benjymous:
Hmm, that's odd - mine updated, but there are definitely apps missing from the market that I could see before the update (Impossible Level Game is one)

Any chance you could post the version of the apk you've got on your phone?
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] shokmah:
only thingd I done is to push my market in /system/app/com.android.vending.apk

for version I have 2.12 in titanium backup and new tabs appeared
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] projectsome:
In an unrelated incident I bricked my phone so had to reinstall it with SEUS and it installed the updated market. perhaps that might work for you as well. don't forget the usual backups etc...
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] bingobadgo:
When I ran the following line I got an error that the file did not exist:

rm /data/dalvik-cache/system@app@com.android.vending.apk@classes.dex

I then tried with @ replaced by / and it still did not work. Any ideas?
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] shokmah:
it when you delete update it should be deleted by system.

it's just a line to ensure.

Finally I have got new version and patched it.

I'm Going to edit First post
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] jeremyward420:
Thank you so much. Its working perfectly. So when a new Android Market is release, will it update and still keep the faked res or will i have to keep getting the .apks from you lol?

Cheers,

Jeremy
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] shokmah:
You may need a new apk, from me or other one who do it first.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] skyleth:
what's the difference between the signed and the unsigned version?and which one you recomend?
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] shokmah:
normaly apk should be signed but in android 2.1 it seems does'nt matter.

maybe in android 2.2 it's more important, it's for security pupose I think.

I've read something saying that in 2.2 all APKs in /system/app should have the same signature to work, but don't know if it's true.

however, both works fine, take the one you prefer.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] skyleth:
thank you very much for the answer
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Blulmn:
Thanks shokmah, works nicely.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] shokmah:
I' m happy to learn you appreciate my little work.

I just read for a new version released yesterday.

I don't have it yet, but I'll start to work on it as soon as I receive mine.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] daemon-rj:
Thx, shokmah!! I'm wait the new release! :)
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] projectsome:
eurgh!! the new market looks horrible, it's cluttered like! The old one was simple.

If I revert back to the old one, will I lose out on the new apps????
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] shokmah:
just uninstall update in data-off mode then delete market updater and you should stay at the old one.

EDIT : new version Fixed ^^enjoy
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] u-ra:
I guess one should remove /data/dalvik-cache/system@app@Vending.apk@classes.dex if /data/dalvik-cache/system@app@com.android.vending.apk@classes.dex does not exist?

If so, could you please update the instructions, so someone else doesn't stumble over that?
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] morning_wood:
simply "rm * /data/dalvik-cache" and reboot :)
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] u-ra:
I'm afraid that won't do what you think :)

By the way, after a while market stopped wanting to download apps. This showed up in the log:

W/ActivityManager( 1204): Permission Denial: broadcasting Intent { act=com.google.android.c2dm.intent.RECEIVE cat=[INSTALL_ASSET] (has extras) } from com.android.vending (pid=1463, uid=10041) requires com.android.vending.INTENT_VENDING_ONLY due to receiver com.android.vending/com.android.vending.InstallAssetReceiver

W/ActivityManager( 1204): Permission Denial: receiving Intent { act=com.google.android.c2dm.intent.RECEIVE cat=[INSTALL_ASSET] (has extras) } to com.android.vending requires com.android.vending.INTENT_VENDING_ONLY due to sender com.android.vending (uid 10041)
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] shokmah:
it's just a line to ensure, it should normally be deleted when you uninstall the update.

I don't know what you market can't download.

delete files in /data/data/com.android.vending/cache/

or wipe dalvik cache may resolve the trouble.

best way to fix problems is uninstall > reboot > install > reboot .

I don't work after that , I don't know maybe something is broken in your system ,maybe like gtalkservice.apk which is very important for market.

I hope you can fix it.

sorry for the english , it's so late and it's not my native language,

It's done since the 16th, if you talk about dec 11th update (version 2002206) , I think it's the newest version at moment

________________________________________________________

c'est fait depuis le 16, si tu parles de la mise a jour du 11 dec( version 2002206), je pense pas qu'il y a de version plus récente que celle-ci, en tout cas pas entendu parler
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] pjv4:
My market was recently updated to version 2002207
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] l00k:
2002206 has graphical glitches on the mini pro

2002207 I believe fixes these.

PS I cant stand the new market layout. They really havent thought about people with smaller screens :(
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] soneet:
I really hate how there's no download cancel button anymore. Yesterday I got a stuck download and had to do a lot of cache deleting and whatnot and still not resolving it. In the end it resolved without me knowing how I did it. Hope it never happens again (the failing market download kept attempting even after reboot).
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] shokmah:
I just got the newest version (2002207) , I'll try to unlock it before christmas eve but not promise you anything.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] starplatina:
Japanese Apps?

Hi!

First of all, thank you very much for providing this patched Market app. As a Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 mini user, I cannot thank you enough.

I am using the latest patched version (based on the latest-but-one original), but I have noticed an issue. It works perfectly fine with English apps, but when I try to install Japanese apps, it fails to install them.

On the surface it appears that it successfully installs them. However, such apps have tbe stock Android icon (as opposed to custom-made icons), and their names are shown as com.xxxx.xxx, which I believe are their IDs, not names. When I try to invoke them, it always fails, with an error message the Home app crashed or something to that effect. Of course, these issues don't arise with the original app.

It's great news to all of us X10 mini/X10 mini pro users that you're going to produce a patch for the latest Market app. I am hoping when you work on it, keep this in mind and see if you can work around it.

Thank you!
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] thephoenixrising:
And, any luck with cracking the updated 2002207 version?

I installed your latest version yesterday and have already found some otherwise not accesible apps so thanks for that!
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] shokmah:
Sorry,

I was a little busy those few days, I'll work on it tomorrow.

@starplatina : I'll try to, but have no idea on where to look. the Smali code is very hard for me to understand. give me an example of japanese application which fail to install and I'll take a look on it.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] the fighter9999:

[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] xnomox:
Has anyone tried if this patched Market will successfully download and install apps if app2sd is installed on the phone?
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] donetus:
when i type this line, it says that it can't find the directory
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] xnomox:
I think it's normal when you have nothing on your dalvik cache or no apps installed from the market yet.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] donetus:
oh i see .. i thought that something went wrong. i proceeded with the terminal commands and i can't tell though if it's patched or not.

but i did search for 'busybox' and it now shows the app as compared to the unpatched Market.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] necrohades:
is this update of the market app no longer needs market enabler apps?
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] xnomox:
No, this Market only shows additional FREE apps that doesn't normally show up on your original Market. To have paid apps show up on your search result too, you need to install Market Enabler.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] shokmah:
works fine with app2SD on my mini pro.

I have just faked the resolution so normally you can view all apps for 320×480 or lower res, even paid apps.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Ray_jai:
does this allow me to see high res apps too?

i cant seem to find skyfire.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] shokmah:
you only can see up to 320×480 apps.

I can fake it for High res but more games/apps may not work on it.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] donetus:
works fine on app2sd via ext3 partition
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] jnightz:
Hi, sorry for my ignorance or stupid question but why all these command lines?

Why can't I simply rename the file com.android.vending.2002207.patched.shokmah.apk to Vending.apk and move it to /system/app/ with Root Explorer? (On a 'rooted' android 2.1 X10 mini)

Thank you!
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] shokmah:
you can but you must do it in fly mode and also uninstall update before moving patched apk, not really need to rename because only latest version is used by androidOS, if not you will have some troule and the patch will sure not work because update apk and patched apk have the same version ID.

PS: these stupid command line are stupidly free what it's not true for rootexplorer.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] cluster2a:
still cant find metamorh and busybox, because of the resolution. But most of the apps will work on the x10 mini

edit: did something wrong.. works fine :)
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] loger8:
I actually uninstalled the market by moving the vendibg.apk with root explorer to /data/app after uninstalling the update, then rebooted, uninstalled it like any other market app, then moved your market into /system/app, changed permissions and rebooted. Works 100%, and even the "related apps" part, which didn't work with the previous market.. did you repair it, shokmah? maybe installing it like this is better :P btw, i renamed it to vending.apk, just because :)
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] shokmah:
I don't have any problem with installing app, give me examples and I will try to understand what they fail to install, maybe it's due to some restriction of your provider like mine's which cut off download off any files at 10MB.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] loger8:
Could you aply the QVGA fix to these blue and green themed markets? :) http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=888330

[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] vlissine:
Is there any way to prevent market app from updating itself? I have a patched old version of market, and it keeps installing new market, so I have to delete it almost daily.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] dl1dby:
stupid question

I have a kind of stupid question:

I may have a problem with the patched market. I have this problem with this new version of the patched market and also with an older version.

Under "My Apps" ("Downloads" in the older version) I see only apps that I have bought, not the free one that I have installed. Is that normal?

And there seems to be an issue with updates: Until a few days ago I was offered an update of Google Maps (which I didn't want to install, as it is fairly big). Now that update offer is gone without me having installed it. I wonder whether something is broken with the update mechanism.

The last few day I got only updates for paid apps, not of free apps anymore. But that may be pure coincidence (as there were probably no updates avaiable at that time).

Two infos that may be important

- The patched market in itself seems to work: unter "video" I get 4060 apps.

- Maybe that it important that in /system/build.prop I have changed "ro.semc.version.fs" from "WORLD 1 - 8" to "CUSTOM" to get rid of that annoying status bar reminder to update the firmware.

Thanks for any advice.

Problem solved:

I just deleted the folder /data/data/com.android.vending and rebooted the phone and the free apps are back again. Either there was some crap in the cache or something wrong in the config file /data/data/com.android.vending/shared_prefs/vending_preferences.xml or both.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] starplatina:
Doesn't Work for Me :(

I was very excited that you released a patched version for the new Market app. Unfortunately, somehow I cannot make it work.

I've replaced original versions with patched versions more than once, so I'd like to think I'm not a complete novice. I think I followed the instructions to a T, but my X10 mini does not even recognize the app is there.

Since I use App2SD, I installed your patched version under /system/sd/app. Originally the file had funky permissions, but I made them in line with other apps (i.e., -rw-r--r--) using Root Explorer.

When I peeked into the system log, I found the following lines. Do these mean anything? (At least it means that the file is readable by the system.)

I am also wondering if I downloaded the whole file from MegaUpload. Mine is 2.05MB. Does that sound like the right size to you?

I cannot work on this any longer for now, and the earliest I can come back to this issue is several days later. If you have any input on this in the meantime, it'll be highly appreciated.

Thanks!

PS: I tried to go back to the old patched version... and even that does not work. :(
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] starplatina:
Sorry, I did not notice your reply till just now. I'd love to give you examples, but now my Market app does not work any longer.... :(
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] shokmah:
@dl1dby : almost at 100% sure it was due to cache crap :)

@starplatina :

Don't have any idea, I use app2Sd too but I always install/copy it in /system/app/ .

only thing I'm sure is we have to remove completely any previous update of it and some other data which can interfere.

Sorry to can't tell you more, but completely remove it and reinstall it is only thing which come to my mind.

EDIT :

I just learn for new minor version but haven't got it yet.

maybe for next I'll try to do one with support for High res app coz seems some people want it.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] starplatina:
Thanks for your response, shokmah.

Is it possible for you to post the apk file here, like you did in the past? My Vending.apk is in /system/sd/app with what appear to be the right permissions and owner/group, but my Root Explorer shows the file with the stock Android icon... not the familiar Market icon. I would like feedback on this from those who use Root Explorer, but it might be indicating that the file is somehow not read by the system properly.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] shokmah:
all my APKs are showed with "Bugdroid" icon in both /system/app and /system/sd/ap through Root explorer.

I think you get trouble because you install your market in system/sd/App

It's not the normal location for it's only when it's updated through market Updater and which may use a specific protocol.

clear all and installing it in /system/App will fix all your Bugs.

market as specific instruction and specific parametrer because it's an internal part of androidOS , it needs an ecosystem to work fine.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] starplatina:
Hi, thanks for your message, shokmah.

One Japanese X10 mini user (his is a pro, though) told me your patched Market works perfectly for him. So it apparently has nothing to do with the fact he and I use Japanese on our X10 minis.

He is not an App2SD user, so I getting more and more convinced that it is because I do not understand how App2SD works and I am doing something wrong in installing your patched Market app.

I am not very clear on what you wanted to say, but would you please elaborate on the following?

I am particularly not sure about "clear all." Did you mean that I should remove all the apps installed on /system/sd/app or just your patched Market app?

Thanks again for your continued support on this matter. I am on a business trip right now and I do not want to mess with my phone, but I would like to try whatever you suggest when I go back home.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] shokmah:
Oh , not all data but all data about market himself such as /data/data/com.android.vending folder , and in cache-dalvik folder, and vending.apk , then reboot and put it in /system/app.

by these I mean a "fresh" install of market app.

I think the problem is not APP2SD, it's market Himself.

It is stubbornly necessary to put it in /system/app because of some Synergies

Sorry for my "almost english".:o

Hi xda:)

I do the tutorial, and I have this problem with adb

when I insert the command: rm /data/dalvik-cache/system@app@com.android.vending.apk@classes.dex

shows that: rm /data/dalvik-cache/system@app@com.android.vending.apk@classes.dex, no such file or directory

but I ignore the error and continuing with the process, and my market shows 3034 results for "video"

The process ends well:confused:

The error is normal:confused:

Sorry for my English

I am new to android
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] wspiders:
because when I open the first time the market, shows 3034 results for "video"

and the second time, it only shows 2059....

market is updates and I lose the hack....How I can avoid that:confused:
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] zegoo:
Hi Shokmah, this is Goosoo from frandroid !

I sent you a PM but you were so busy to answer me !!!

I tried to install your fix for a full market and i got now many mistakes !

I applied your HowTo and with a video search, i got more of 4500 results ! Waohhhh !

But, now, when i try to get an application, i got " début du téléchargement " for a very very long time and never got the application !!!

Is there a bug in your fix ?

Edit: I came back with installing the Vending.apk saved, in /system/app and with 644 on permissions; i rebooted my bouzin ; i launched the Market, accepted the cluff, downloading DoubleTwist - for example - and it takes just a few second to start and get the application !!!!
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] starplatina:
It Worked!!!!

Shokmah, thanks a lot for taking the trouble of explaining it in detail to me. I am happy to report to you that your patched Market worked on my App2SD'ed X10 mini when I followed your instructions. I haven't thoroughly tested it, but so far it has updated all the apps that I could not update all this while.

So thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] starplatina:
Bad News - Japanese Apps Don't Install

Bad news, Shokmah. Japanese apps don't install. I probably should be able to list a whole lot of examples later, but right now I am positive I cannot install Graffiti Input Method by Access. It is based on the Graffiti text input method used on Palm Pilots.

I hope you'll figure out why this happens. English-only apps install beautifully without a hitch.

Thanks!
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] shokmah:
Effectively, it does not install correctly.

The problem is that the .apk is not moved to /data/app

I do not know why it occurs but it is still possible to find the .apk in /cache and to launch the installation in this way and then the app works and is still showed as installed in market.

This is the same things for all access's app, I really don't know why.

I I've not modified the market code so far, just faked some labels and screen params, greatest part of the work is to found them, maybe it's due to app2SD ?
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] starplatina:
So Not All JP Apps, Just Some

Shokmah, thank you very much for looking into it so quickly. I've done my own testing and it appears it's not all the Japanese apps, just some. I think you're assessment is to the point --- I think this is a combination issue of Market app, App2SD and some apps that are packaged in a certain way. Right now I don't have the time (or the mental clarity :p) to tackle this, but I will when I do.

Thanks again for all your help. You're awesome!

1) Not sure about this, but is it the market auto update itself as mine now is 2002303.

2) And anyone know how to disable apps auto/seeking update thru the market??

3) Or disable link between installed apps and market.

Some apps need constantly verify its status/validation from the market thus if one had installed black-market apps, it will check and stop the apps from running in next launching.
