[IDEA] View all apps in the Marketplace

So, I have read that it's an issue with all Froyo ROM's on the EVO... You can't see paid/protected apps in the Marketplace; supposedly, the apps not showing are not verified to work on Froyo.
Could someone just patch the build_prop like they did on the Nexus One before Google released the official fix?
N1 Fix Thread for Reference: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=693102
If anyone wants to tackle it, the dev of the N1 fix explained what needs to be done here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=693102
I don't have an EVO, nor am I much of a developer; but I just rooted my friend's EVO and was looking for a fix for him when I realized that the N1 had a very similar issue when it was running leaked versions of Froyo.
Just throwing it out there... I could be way off.

I think this should be easy to do. Theoretically you should be able to take buildprop swticher v0.3.1.zip and replace /buildprop/build.2.1 with the build.prop from stock and /buildprop/build.2.2 with the build.prop from CM6 and then follow the directions from that post.
I'm about to test it out myself and see if it works...

Let me know... If it does, could you post the build.prop files that you used?
EDIT: Awesome to see another SC member!

Okay, first attempt boot looped. I think build.2.1 needs to be a 2.2 build.prop modified to look like 2.1 because the stock 2.1 build.prop won't work with 2.2. Should've looked at that more instead of rushing Going to see if I can find the lines to change real quick, gotta go back to work in a few minutes...
It also cleared my Google Account settings haha... trying a new modification but may not be able to upload anything until tonight!

Thanks for your help... Can you post your build.props before going back to work? If so, I will try to work on this more if you aren't able to get it before going back.
Thanks

Just printed and compared the build.props for the N1 fix and see that there are only 2 lines that were changed. If someone wants to provide me with a 2.1 build.prop and the CM6 build.prop, I might be able to get this working.

Don't bother with it man.
I'm the one posted the Nexus thread. I already tried changing the build.prop fingerprints & it didn't fix the issue.
Only thing keeping me from using CM6

I was just about to post saying what I tried didn't work and I was hoping you'd pop in here. I was thinking about digging into it more this weekend but if you haven't been able to get anywhere I doubt I could either.

Well... that blows... Sorry guys
Wish I could've been of more help!

After you changed the lines in build.prop did you try reseting Market?

Yep. Even tried pushing it while still in recovery, right after wiping and flashing the ROM. Still a no go
Edit: the to.build.fingerprint is the "fingerprint" it shows when it accesses the Market. So its how the Market decides what apps to show, and sees what kind of device it is & its version

We need a setting like most of the android browsers to allow us to spoof ourselves as stock 2.1 EVO.

Hmmm...editing fingerprint and description *SHOULD* work but it did not work when I tried adding the fingerprint/description from Avalaunch's Froyo ROM. It seems that Ava's Froyo ROM fixed the missing apps issue. It's so very bizarre that we can't get certain market apps to show on CM6 and drives me crazy. There has to be some type of solution, I'm just not sure what it is yet

ok this is what we did on the Hero when we was with 1.5 and got the leak of 2.1 the market didnt show all the apps so we just change it with the nexus one, so i am guessing maybe we can get a 2.2nexus one build.prop and push it to the Evo, make sure to clear the market chache though , it took like 5-6hours for the apps to start showing up on the Hero!! just an Idea

Have you tried just using the whole build.prop from Ava's ROM? Should work ok since they're both 2.2, no idea if it'll fix the issue though.

bootlooops
Edit: nvm, was incomplete.

Sense build.prop files & AOSP build.prop files don't play nice together. Neither do CDMA files & GSM files.
It takes some changes to get the phone to boot with them, or to get radio access with them.
I've already tried a stock Nexus fingerprint, but it still doesn't give access. Like I said, I even pushed the file before even booting the phone (I.E, wipe, flash CM6, push file in recovery, then reboot) and it still didn't work.

Ava's build prop comes up, but no Market. Something else is going on.

MIUI v1.11.18

Anyone run this latest version? If so are you having any issues with it?
I have 1.09.20 on mine. Im afraid to update. Everything runs great for me. Only reason I want to update is to use the ESCEnter, Left and Right mods. I cant find them for 1.09.20 anymore.

holy **** that's old
1.11.18 works fine for me at least

When you installed did you need to back up apps? Thats another reason I havent upgraded. I read the way themes were installed changed and locations changed. I dont want to lose my Jorte theming or my MIUI theming that Ive done.

Well, first off. You can always just make a nandroid of ur 1.9 rom, and just try 1.11.18. Anything you don't like and you can go right back. I always do a fresh install, and re-dl my apps manually from the market every friday. Just easier for me.
Titanium backup, or the miui app backup should work if you decide to do a fresh install.
Location of themes? Still in sdcard/miui/themes, still mtz's. They changed a way the file compresses a while back. But that doesn't hurt anything, or change.
I'm at like 160 mtz's on my sd card i've been gathering since march, none have ever gotten messed up or lost. Same with wallpapers I've collected from the theme manager.

Ive got it installed. So far no issues other than MIUI extended settings not working at all.

Read the OP of the extended settings mod thread here. It's not just a flashable zip any more, there is the zip but you also need the apk, it should explain everything. I'd select the no-overscroll mod, last time I tried overscroll there were network issues (basically no service). I'm still on 11.11 but the no-overscroll works perfectly for me.

Not sure what to tell you, I just updated to 11.18 to see if it works and it's fine for me. You have to reboot or reset your status bar by changing themes in the theme manager for the right/center/switched layouts to take effect.

Everything works now except the volume button. It works in recovery, but not in the rom.

Did some more testing. The volume also works in apps to turn down the music level and the volume works if I open the notification toggles and hit the sound button and the volume button right after.

1.1 Firmware mirror for NST

So I just picked up a nook simple touch and am eager to root it, I've done plenty with Android on phones, never an ebook though. I've been reading the material here and had a couple questions.
1.) It looks like 1.1 firmware is needed for most of the roots here, however B&N only lists 1.2 currently. Does anyone have a mirror to 1.1 or tell me how to get that, currently I'm on 1.0.1
2.) If I can't get 1.1 are there any roots that will work for 1.2? I've been following the thread here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1346748 and it looks like it only works from 1.1 by the sound of it.
3.) Is everyone or anyone using the NoRefreshToggle? If so what do you think? Is it worth trying it out? Dangers of using it? When you toggle it off do you get greyscale back? From the sounds of the post, it's pure black and white with it on which is fine if when I disable it, it goes back to normal greyscale images.
4.) Did anyone find out how to turn off page animations in the kindle app? not a big deal, just wondering.
Thanks a lot, look forward to trying this out.

Here's a copy of nook_1_1_update.zip I pulled down from B&N a few weeks ago: http://www.mediafire.com/?h5kn1214gfjhkcg In the end I didn't need it, so I can't confirm how the upgrade works (the instructions said just put the file within the zip on an SD card and reboot)

Thanks for the link

Thanks for the 1.1 post link, however I updated to 1.1.2 and followed the instructions and everything seems to be ok, I can get email, install from the market place, only thing I can't do is search the market. A search just lists a blank page and doesn't find any apps, any ideas.
As for the Kindle question, after installing kindle app and seeing the performance, this isn't a big deal at all.
Still curious on the refresh toggle however, any ideas on that, have you guys tried it out? I may post there if I don't hear back.
Thanks

I have checked and as you said market search functionality is absent, it seems to be broken since the Googleplay thing.
As a way to regain it, in the mean time we get an updated market working, install Searchmarket.
The NorefreshToggle is still in early stages, but works quite well for webpages, etc.
Try it, there are no risks on it, on any program when you enable the app it will work, and when you go into a menu it will return to normal grayscale.

How do I install Searchmarket if I can't search the market for it lol ... Do I have to install it on my phone first, then transfer the apk over to the NST, then file browse and install it from /system/app ?
I tried NoRefreshToggle, it's interesting, like you said a work in progress ... Tried it with GReader unfortunatly it shuts off between Feed view and Article view which is a pain, but I think that's probably to avoid ghosting.
As for web page viewing, Opera Mini FCs on me everytime I open it, as does the stock browser, so I haven't been able to try browsing as of yet Still looking for a solution to that one.
Thanks for all the info, really enjoying the NST if NoRefreshToggle keeps getting better this could really be a killer device

I just use the Google Play website to initiate installs to the nook (it appears in my device list as "phone")
The included Opera Mini installation never worked for me (no FC nothing). In the end I fixed it by uninstalling and reinstalling.

So are you saying you are on 1.1.2 rooted and enjoying it?
Should I downgrade to 1.1.1 and root or just go ahead with 1.1.2?
I can't wait to try this out.

I can't speak to the upgrade patch from 1.1.1, I bought my NST yesterday, it had 1.0.1 on it, I upgraded to 1.1.2 then followed the rooting instructions for 1.1.0 or was it 1.1.1 can't remember, in any case, after rooting everything seems to be working just fine

It was 1.1.0, there was no 1.1.1

Is there any risk upgrading to 1.1.2 from 1.1.0? Would I have to reinstall google apps &c? Did anything change in between 1.1.0 and 1.1.2? (I have heard that they may have fixed the WiFi issues that were plaguing me a few months ago.)

i used the command navigate to (Location)
and it worked
i believe the alarm part does not work cause it depends on the clock from gs3

you should try the modded apk then cause not having any of those issues with that apk.

but u have to force install that apk file by coping it to system and changing permissions
that is to hard for some people

Es file explorer, super manager are easy to use not hard at all

if you want to post the file link to the other apk and detailed instructions i will add it to op

is the link in the OP the modded apk?

no

Auroraplay v1.1.0

Hi,
Since i can't post in the thread, so I just highlight in here.
I've been using this rom for about a month. This rom is really nice but since the new update, it gets even better. Only one small thing, the LED flashlight widget in the quickpanel didn't show up although you have tick it in the settings.
That's all. I hope someone could tell this to Spizzy01 so that he can fix this.
Thanks...

Aurora Play Problems
Hello,
I just installed Aurora Play 1.1.0 and I am having problems which I think might be related to superuser.
The Rom works fine, but anything that requires root access gets frozen in place. My phone is rooted, I am pretty sure of it - not only the bootloader is unlocked but also, I did manage to initially change the clock speed to 1.4 ghz, and that change has remained so far.
However, if, for example, I try enabling root access on the ES File Explorer, it simply freezes the app (sort of like it is waiting for the confirmation from Superuser, but it never comes). I only ever saw the superuser authorization screen once when I changed the clock at first.
I am pretty sure the OC is not the problem, since I reinstalled the rom and did no OC on the 1st time at all, but the same problem persisted.
I would try uninstalling SU and installing that other superuser app on the market to see if that would solve the problem, but I couldn't manage to uninstall it.
Any thoughts on this? I would love to solve this problem since this room is outstanding on all other accounts.
PS.: I followed all instructions to the letter, and like I said I tried reinstalling the rom already. I am using Lupus v10 (tried Lupus v11 before on the 1st installation).

Can CWM coexist with TWRP? I think I only have TWRP installed. Or can I just use TWRP instead?

missing pixels in landscape app drawer
Spizzy, first and foremost congratulations on this great rom, it is fantastic! The only gripe I'm having is that when the app drawer is in Landscape mode it is cutting some pixels on the bottom (can't see the lower end of the blue highlight when using the ps controls). Other than that, all is perfect so far.

It worked!
Thanks a lot, Spizzy! Whatever that package was, it worked great and now superuser is not giving me any headaches anymore. Everything works great and the rom is blazing fast!
Just one thing - when I checked the info that comes up on the pachage before installing it, it said it was for locked bootloaders, but I assume that was a typo (since the zip file is for unlocked, and mine is unlocked as well). Just mentioning since it could maybe cause a little confusion on people downloading it in the future.
Oh and I did use TWRP in the end - I guess it's the same thing.
