* Supported roms

:

- CyanogenMod Roms (CM7 / CM 6.1.0 - KalimGinger)

- Theoretically every 2.2 & 2.3 roms for Tattoo :)

/!\ Quick Info /!\​

G-apps MDPI (tiny or not) REQUIRED on

CM6.1 / CM 7

- Depending on countries (and possibly fingerprints) you might get different results !

- If you can't download, blame google and their servers !

- If you feel like doing a Nandroid backup, do it !

What it does :

- shows non-Qvga (up to 800*480=WVGA) apps in market (ex. Rom-Manager)

- show protected apps (ex. Paypal(?) / Dr. droid )

What it does

NOT

:

- doesn't show paid apps in countries which... don't show them, use Market Enabler for that.

Requirements :

- A custom rom (or at least a rooted phone with custom recovery)

- Cyanogen only : Pre-installed G-apps

Install instructions :

- Download Symp.market.Color.v

X.X

.zip

- Put in on your SD-card root

- Reboot under Recovery

- Flash as usual (select a zip from sdcard => naviguate to .zip => select "yes" and wait it's done)

- Reboot under your rom, tap on the market icon

- Accept

ToS

(if not, see the FAQ, Q°4) and

enjoy

FAQ :

1 - An app not showing ? Check on www.androlib.com if the requested app isn't missing from the market ! (ex : ScummVM)

2 - Can't download from the market ? The patching method I used is a known process and it's 99.9% impossible that it causes problems. If downloading apps fails, it's a google-sided problem.

3 - Don't know what it does ? Look at screenshots, XXX results for a "video" search :) Search for "video" to see the difference (or compare before and after patching) !

4 - After flashing the market, you still can't see more apps ? You'll need to go to "Settings", from there go to Applications -> Manage Applications -> All -> find the Market app ==> Purge its

datas & caches

: Accept ToS again.

5 - Can't reboot / bootloops right after flashing this patch ?!??! Well, I'm not going to open an Aftersales service, but first : You did something wrong !

=> This patch only do things related to Vending.apk (market app) & its cache, nothing more ! Therefore, having a PHONE issue (like not rebooting / needing to flash a previous nandroid backup) ISN'T MY RESPONSABILITY NOR THIS PATCH'S FAULT. This being stated, I still can point out some of those WRONG BEHAVIOR and what it does :

*removing Vending.apk from G-apps* => perfectly stupid !

*not installing G-apps before flashing* => YOU NEED THEM !

*flashing this patch to a stock rom* => I never tried, but if it works, it's kewl.

6 - New v2.2.x gives you FCs ? Use the Symp.Market.Remover.zip to purge the market :

1- Put the file on your SDcard

2- Flash it under Clockwork Recovery

3- Reboot, let your rom boot (WITHOUT directly flashing a patched market)

4- once your rom booted, check market disapeared and can't be launched by any leftover shortcut.

5- Reboot under recovery and flash Symp.Color.market.vX.X.zip as normal

*another wierd problem not listed below?* => No, this isn't stupid to ask if you did everything GOOD, if no matter what you still have ****s, just post a Logcat and/or the maximum infos about what's going wrong.
