I have weird issue...Full Market is good, I have TnTLite4.4 and I did the Full Market Fix (and realized when I got to the edit text step that it already comes loaded with this fix) anyway, for some strange reason the only games I seem incapable of downloading are Angry Birds...and of course I wanna play those wicked bad. Anyway, if anyone has an idea why that's happening please let me know.

Thanks

My tablet came with the fix, mentioned it the first post, too. I too can not access the full market, no matter how many times I do the 'clear cache' routine. I wonder why this problem exist. You'd think google would want you to be able to access the market with ease and not to have all these problem. I guess I'm wrong. I can get the full access from my PC. If I only knew how to download it. It always wants to install.

overseas

I am a contractor for the military here in afghan....but when i connect to the market place after i do this update with the string. I have access to programs i didnt have before. but im still not getting any of the paid apps...does anyone have suggestions for me?
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] cmreigrut:
Firefox?

Can anyone see Firefox in the market? And if so, with what fingerprint?

I can see everything that I look for (I.e. tv.com) after the market fix except Firefox.

You can also change the line where it says ro.something.something.device = harmony to ro.something.something.device = olympus. All apps will appear after this.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] Wagnbat:
Running Vegan Gingerbread RC1. Can't get Gmail, Google Earth... First Android device, so I don't really know what else I'm missing.

I've done the 'market fix' several times. I've did the 'unfix'. Several times. supposedly Vegan-Ginger RC1 doesn't need a market fix, but I can't see the Google Apps that I bought the device for.

Downloaded Root Explorer which was a huge pain to get because the Market is only showing me FREE apps. Can't buy anything, because I can't see anything with a price. Was able to finally get Amazon on and Root Explorer from there. Modified biuld.prop everywhere it said harmony to olympus, no worky. Modified the ro.build.fingerprint from 2.3.3 back to 2.2 as mentioned on another Market Fix Superthread. No worky.

I think I've exhausted just about all the options without switching ROMs. I'm not the only one, but I can't post along with the others in the ROM thread and no one has posted or mentioned a fix since.

It could be that I am in Guam and am seen as an overseas customer. I know the Amazon Appstore didn't want to load at first for that reason, but I've gotten around it and can download/install Amazon Apps.

Ideas?

I noticed a few things that wouldn't come up in the market on my Vegan 5.1.1 with Clemsyn's Kernel 9. The "Market Fix" will no longer yield the "famous market error" no matter what I do.

[G Tablet Themes and Apps] TEK112:
Are you sure you cleared the cache (not data) of the market? Also, did you force stop the googleframeworks service?

Also, did you browse the market before you started. the steps have to be exact.

Please try again:

First, make sure Market is running, and browse around in it for a few seconds. If you don't do this, there may be no cache to clear and for some reason the market fix may not work. Then, go to Settings->Applications->Manage Applications->Running and scroll down to Market. Then hit Clear Cache, followed by Force Stop **DO NOT CLEAR DATA FOR MARKET, JUST CACHE**. Then go back, scroll down to Google Services Framework, hit Clear Data, then Force Stop.

7) Now try starting Market again and you get the famous Market Error. Now shut down the G Tablet, then turned it back on. Wait for Wifi to connect to your network before doing anything! I forgot to do that on the first try, so I rebooted again, waited for wifi to connect this time.

8) Now restart Market again. It seems to have sourced the fingerprint from build.prop somewhere in steps 6-7. Searches for previously missing apps now show up. Voila! A truly full market!
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] twiceover:
Followed the exact steps many times. No go. Worked in the past with Kernel 5 and without the kernel upgrades.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] TEK112:
I feel like a parrot saying this. If all else fails you may need to do and nvflash. If the data on the device is expendable, I would recommend it. It would mean starting over from scratch, but it would rule out a lot of possibilities.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] twiceover:
That's ridiculous. I'm not going though all that to fix a minor issue. I think I'm the only one that also continues to have the sleep of death issue no matter what kernel I use.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] androidnoobie:
I saw nothing in the OP that said that it has to be rooted with a different ROM. When I long pressed and tried to edit the build.prop it notified me that I had to be rooted. I think the first post should be edited to include that info.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] jason1332:
You're not the only one, I am with you. Latest thing I have tried is a update.zip from CM forums. I will let you know if it works.

That worked for me, now I can see yahoo messenger couldn't before. The key is don't delete the user data. Thanks
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] iamchocho:
Im on Vegan 5.1.1 but I couldn't see several apps several of which were ones I had installed on Clem/Corwins combo. Gun Bros, Glow Hockey, Firefox, splashtop, Death Worm were all apps I couldn't see. After setting the following and re-doing market fix they all show up now:

ro.build.tags=release-keys <--Changed this one, it was set as test-keys which seemed wrong so I changed it to match the fingerprint.

ro.product.device=olympus

ro.build.fingerprint=google/passion/passion/mahimahi:2.2/FRF91/43546:user/release-keys
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] twiceover:
I've seen this referred to. Where do I do this?
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] jhreid1969:
This worked for me on TNTL 4.4.0, seeing all the apps everybody has been asking about and a lot I have never seen. Thanks!
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] iamchocho:
Glad it helped. It was driving me nuts too.

OP can we add this into the first post so others can find it easier? I know I saw it once in some other topic back just before my tab showed up but I was having issues finding the post because I couldn't remember what it was.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] iamchocho:
Make this change in your build.prop at /system/build.prop. you will need root explorer to be able to mount /system as read/write or you can do it with adb like I did if you don't want to buy it.

With adb: (USUAL disclaimer - don't blame me if you mess it up. Always backup first.)

Adb pull /system/build.prop

Edit the file you just pulled down...(make a backup first)

adb remount

This mounts /system as rw

Adb push build.prop /system/build.prop

This will copy the file back to your tab

Then do the market fix as usual.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] vcheenu:
I tried the fix and it didn't work for me. This is what I did

1. Mounted /system are rw

2. Modified the lines ro.build.fingerprint and ro.product.device

3. Remounted /system are ro

4. Started Android Market and browsed around a bit

5. Chose Settings->Applications->Running Services

6. Under the Running tab I can see 'Market' and 'Google Services' but not 'Google Services Framework'. . I can see it under 'All' tab.

7. I followed rest of the steps instructed in the youtube video rcgabriel pointed out in the initial post.

What should I run to see 'Google Services Framework' under the 'Running' tab? Could that be the reason for the fix not working for me?

Thanks.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] ckran:
I'm on stock 4349 and applied the market fix update. It "works" but I frequently get the pop-up message "Sorry! The application Google Services Framework (process com.google.processes.gapps) has stopped unexpetedly. Please try again" and the "Force close" button.

Any idea what's going on here?
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] cutterjohn:
Contacts db got corrupted. I'm trying to dig up the thread with the path to the directory that needs removal ATM.

Seems that some bright boy in the ref thread decided that the only FCs were because of data partition corruption and the ONLY fix was to repart it to 2048/0 w/CWM... grrr...

[EDIT]

OK ended up just looking for it myself since I vaguely recalled what it was, and dug up:

/data/data/com.android.providers.contacts

and the databases directory was what was to be removed then reboot the gtab, (databases dir gets recreated on boot) which fixed this problem for me before.

HOWEVER, this time it appears to not have worked, I'm still getting the gapps FC on reboot and a few other locations, so I'm off to do more digging...

[/EDIT]

[EDIT2]

Yep, I remembered/figured it out correctly, here's the original thread that I mentioned above:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=11523899&postcount=6

still MIGHT help you with your problem, but didn't for me, but I'm running Two Taps 0.9.02 ATM...

[/EDIT2]

[EDIT3]

If you have clockwork mod installed you could try using it to clear caches as well, which might help... unfortunately not installed on mine ATM as I'm just using their new stock "recovery" ATM...

Might end up trying cache clearing manually through adb... as the FC is fairly annoying, but mostly harmless & infrequent for me ATM...

The original string for ro.build.fingerprint for GTablet

I am still on Viewsonic's ROM but has hacked my gTablet to get Market access. Now that Viewsonic has released an updated ROM, I am not getting the update OTA as my ro.build.fingerprint is different from the original. I thought I had backed up my BUILD.PROP file but I cannot locate the original version:(. Can someone post the original string for ro.build.fingerprint for the gTablet please? Thanks in advance.

[G Tablet Themes and Apps] JoTeC:
+1! First of all I am running TNT Lite 4.4. I too had tried the standard Market fix many times and just could never see all the cool apps I wanted. Went ahead and changed the build.prop as iamchoco had suggested and BINGO! Although the ro.build.fingerprint already had this line correct, I changed the ro.build.tags and the ro.build.device lines to match iamchoco's instructons. Did the standard Market fix again and it works awesome. It even seems a little faster than before. All the apps I could never get are there and downloadable and have been downloaded and installed... :)

The programs that I had sideloaded previously are now showing up in the Market and I am updating them through the Market now.

So I guess my only question is if there is any downside from changing my ro.build.device from harmony to olympus and ro.build tags from test-keys to release-keys? I have had a few crashes but I seem to reboot and then be OK.

iamchoco, I posted up a "thanks" for you!
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] egriton:
Worked for TNTL 4.4

Running TNTL 4.4. Regular market fix gave me only limited access (eg. no dolphin browser). The above worked for me.

I just registered in order to express my thanks! Sideloading has been a nuisance.
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] Roufosso:
My Device is Galaxy Tab flashed with latest Arabic Romready and rooted by Z4root.

I changed Arabic system font to Jazeera Font using Root Explorer and worked great except:

1- Any headers while browsing or within a website is shown original Arabic font before rooting.

2- Samsung Arabic Keyboard interface shows also original letters on keyboard itself but typing the new font.

Please Advise.

Thanks

[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] Galaxyer:
Hi,

You have to change the whole fonts set...not like I9000 with only 3 files.

Try to Download it from ce4arab in subject due Dr Akrim

or you can download this

www*multiupload*com/374MV9YTRU

[change stars to dots...]

and since the TAB already rooted, extract only the fonts folder from system folder and copy it to sdcard via usb, then copy to system/fonts using root-explorer.

Clearly is a user thing. Dolphin gets my vote.

[EVO 4G General] ifly4vamerica:
xscope and miren work well for me, if you use facebook and stuff like that skyfire is pretty good to.
[EVO 4G General] LudoGris:
Try Miren Browser as well. Worth it for the cost of free.
[EVO 4G General] creyc:
Miren just plain sucks. Wouldn't load certain pages properly, and was slower than any other browser I've ever used.

It's almost like it doesn't load pages sequentially as they're downloaded, but waits (on a white screen) till it has everything then shows up. Pretty bad technique on a severely bandwidth limited device like a phone, but maybe that could be fixed soon?
[EVO 4G General] semperlux:
What exactly are you guys doing on your browsers to make you think the stock browser is slow? I see no difference between any of them and I've tried them all. For me it depends on the signal strength myphone or WiFi.

[EVO 4G General] jerryparid:
Browser speed have almost no difference. Your internet connection speed is much more different.
[EVO 4G General] mmegalodon:
Sure speed is involved, but stock browser handling multiple windows is so damn slow when compared to dealing with Dolphin and the tabs. Just the overall handling is smoother. I might consider launching stock browser for a single page .. God forbid I start clicking around and want to pop some tabs / windows. I've tried em all .. Miren seemed decent.l ... simplistic UI but some claimed it faster. Perfect example of connection speed and or outside factors .. it was nit faster than any other browser. It was dragging. I'm used to dealing with multiple tabs so I need to jump and jump between effectively. Quickly. Dolphin does the job ... everything else seems just awkward and or just bad.

SWYPED from my SUPASONIC
[EVO 4G General] EndlessDissent:
I've never had a problem with Miren not loading pages. As far as not showing pages until they're fully downlaoded, I don't see why you think it's bad for "bandwidth limited" device. It loads the page the same speed as the others. It just doesn't display the page until it's ready. Isn't that what opera mini does, too? (That's an actual question. I haven't used it in a long time and don't remember.)
[EVO 4G General] khov07:
I tried Dolphin for a while, but really wasn't impressed. I don't like all the toolbars or big icons. There's probably a way around that, but I didn't notice a performance difference, and frankly, the stock browser worked fine for me.

But as someone else stated, it's more of a personal preference.
[EVO 4G General] ald3n3:
I'd go with dolphin... although i've heard good things about Opera Mini

I've been using Miren for days now and I love it. It really is smooth too once the page fully loads. And with wifi and 4g everywhere that's never a problem :)
[Nook Color General] cabbieBot:
Curious how you achieved this. Mine just closes automatically
[Nook Color General] rutter9:
I just tried slingplayer as well and does same thing. Some programs just won't run on it at this time I think.
[Nook Color General] xawen:
I have it working...sometimes. It's strange, about half the time it'll run ok and the other half it just closes like you guys have seen. It seems to have something to do with either free memory or another program using the sound system. I'm still trying to narrow it down, but it DOES work.
[Nook Color General] cabbieBot:
Did you modify accounts.db by chance?
[Nook Color General] xawen:
No. The only system level changes I've made are nooter, multitouch and direct app installs (all done to the letter by the instructions on NookDevs). I've got Dolphin HD, Angry Birds, Slideme, SlingPlayer and AndTask installed.
[Nook Color General] phinphan:
It works for me but sometimes I have to restart it about 10 times to make it work.
[Nook Color General] RichTJ99:
Try opening it in landscape vs portrait.
[Nook Color General] xawen:
That doesn't seem to have an impact as far as I can tell... When it does start it's always in landscape regardless of what the screen was before. It starting at all is still hit or miss even when already in landscape.
[Nook Color General] rutter9:
Well I figured out a system to get slingbox working (for me atleast). Run advanced task killer, try to open slingbox 3 times, if it doesn't work just repeat as necessary. Now mine boots every time now.. weird...

[Nexus One General] babluc:
I just got a new nexus one swapped 2 days ago from HTC under warranty. I'm running MIUI on the new nexus and I just noticed that my notification bar burned onto the screen. I had MIUI on the last nexus for about a month and nothing happened to the screen, had to get it changed for different reason.

I was thinking it was due to the fact that miui's notification bar is transparent or somehow the screen didn't turn off during the night, but then all of the other things(icon, etc.) would have burned onto the screen.

Im going to call HTC and find out what they have to say. But does anyone have any insight to this. I really dont want to leave MIUI, really like that rom.
[Nexus One General] Old MuckenMire:
This is going to be a risk you run with refurbed Nexus Ones. Most people run them with white notification bars. I have two Nexus Ones and even being careful I have some burn-in. I run my everyday Nexus with a black notification bar and still there is slight burn in(uneven wear). I've never personally seen a Nexus without some form of burn in(uneven wear) from the notification bar. It is the most persistent part of the UI, even when you hide it with something like LauncherPro, etc.., it will pop up when in the market, and other apps that do not have the option to hide it. etc..
[Nexus One General] msavic6:
I'm running mine with the stock white notification bar as I'm 100% stock. I don't see any burn in on my screen. Any ways to check with an app that makes it more visible?
[Nexus One General] Old MuckenMire:
try going in to the Gmail app, then go in to an email with not much text and scroll down until you have a white screen, and look at the left side of the screen(in landscape) against the white background.

that said, if you do not notice it now, I WOULD NOT GO LOOKING FOR IT...you will most likely find it and it will start bothering you.
[Nexus One General] babluc:
I guess thats why gingerbread went with black notification bar.
[Nexus One General] iRockNexus1:
I only notice the burn in on my N1 when I'm on Google's homepage
[Nexus One General] msavic6:
I'm not gonna look for it as I wont be able to forget about it.

Hopefully gingerbread shows up soon so the black notification bar wont burn into my screen.
[Nexus One General] khaytsus:
Yeah, I noticed it using Floating Image myself, a nifty program that floats images from your camera dirs and the internet past you. Noticed the notification bar area looked odd, then looked closer and realized it was darker.

I've since started using a ROM with a dark notification bar, maybe mitigate it a bit, although I suspect the clock being in the same place all the time will burn up there too.
[Nexus One General] msavic6:
Too much for not looking for it. I just went on the Google homepage in landscape and I saw a tiny tiny bit of burn in like barely noticable. So I turned my brightness to Max to see if it was more visible and I couldn't see it on 100% brightness. Only when its on lowest brightness am I able to see the burn in. Good enough for me :)
