Speed up Market Place and Paid Apps Tab

Speed fix for Froyo Roms on MARKET
After playing with alot of Roms one thing i noticed is the incredible slow speed of market loads and searching. LeeDROID rom has excellent market speeds. The attached file is a grab of Market files from the LeeDROID rom and then packaged up to flash.
This has been tried on multiple roms and gives EXCELLENT SPEED WITH LOADING, SEARCHING and even DOWNLOADING. It is also know to give you back that illusive PAID TAB in some instances (has worked for me every time)
Give it a go and let us know what you think. Countrys with no paid apps may not add the paid tab.
Also once rebooted it may take half hour to sync up with Google before you notice the speed. But once its going it is alot faster
ENJOY!!
Install - Flash zip from Recovery or ROM Manager
of course always nandroid first before flashing anything.
I take no responsability for bricks
Big thanks to LeeDroid (and congrats on the new baby) and also dancedreamfly for helping with packaging

attached to the bottom of my first post

any feedback if people are noticing the speed difference here

Does it actually remove the Market or can it work alongside (for comaprison purposes it would be useful to download the same app within each)

it replaces it, could nandroid and compare your two different roms, but if you was suffering from slow market you will notice the speed anyway

Anyone tried this?

I did, LeeDroid 1.6 ROM. It is fast but I honestly don't remember if old market was slow, sorry. But I don't see Paid Apps Tab.

i couldnt tell you, i have only ever tried on Sense Roms, Previous users have told me it worked on non sense roms such as Defrost so I should imagine it would work fine as it doesnt edit any of the framework of the rom.
Ill try it tonight and see but if you wanna have a go nandroid it first and let me know the results

what's the MACOSX folder?

No paid apps on djdroid.UK network..but its super fast and is now giving me the option to auto update my apps

yeah ofcourse, I just asked

[Q] Just ordered a G2.

T-Mobile is having a web only deal right now with the Samsung Galaxy S 4G and the G2. I just ordered the G2 and I'm wondering which Gingerbread rom you guys are using?
I just need something that has everything working with over clock. Anybody got any suggestions? Is there a difference between Cyanogen and Nightly's rom?

CM 7.0.0 is the latest stable. No more nightlies. I try other roms but keep coming back to CM! Some people complain of gps issues but I don't use it so I can't attest to that...

Just a couple of small bug fixes to do with the notification bar not being smooth when you slide it down. And if you had a short cut or gesture mapped to open the notification bar in the stable release it would not open, but it has now been fixed.

I tried all the ROMS in Rom Manager and after just a few days i eventually went back to CM 7.
When you root follow the guide on the wiki here, not visionary.
Also want to mention that my GPS is broke Since i flashed Virtous, still broken in MIUI and CM 7. Im about to try the GPS fix now.

Thanks.
I would do some research myself, but don't have a computer at the moment and it's a bit slow to research on my outdated MotoCliq. Lol

I have been using xboarder56's gingerbread ROMs, and they are pretty close to stock gingerbread, I think. I have never used the CM or any of the other ones.
I also rooted my phone using this really easy method which uses visionary then I uninstalled visionary and haven't had a problem. I think it was the method that didn't require ADB.

No. There's a method here that's SUPER SIMPLE not overly complicated. You use vision for temp root and type like 3 commands and you're good to go! This command stuff is foreign to me and I did it just fine
Sent from my CM7 GDeux

I rooted my G2 2 days ago, I used the Visionary to temp root + gfree way to root, had no problems, worked on 1st try. The first and only mod I have flashed is CM7. Gonna use it for a bit, then probably try some others, probably will always come back to CM. I shouldn't have tried it 1st haha, should have tried it last. Its kind of a hassle having to re-install all your apps, and redo all your settigns and stuff, after flashing each ROM. I want to try the meXdroid ROM though, has some Xpera features, looks nice. I also have the GPS problems- weather apps and maps never being able to lock on my location. There is a fix in this thread, haven't tried it yet. I don't really use GPS, anyway, always keep it off. Have only used Google Nav once, hahaha.

Use gfree, you get sim unlock super Cid the whole shebang. Just follow the wiki its laid out perfectly

I used the visionary temp/g-free method and everything went smooth.
I noticed that a lot of themes and such are mostly created for the Nightly version for CM7. Why is that?

Pleased to here rooting went smoothly.
If your running CM7 the best bet for themes is to use the theme chooser, you can download themes from the market or if you head over to the general android themes forum there are loads available for free. The great thing about using the theme chooser is that your not stuck to running a certain release of a ROM just because of a theme, they will work on the latest nightly's.
But I thought that most of the flashable themes that were available for our handsets were now updated to run with CM7 Stable

[Q] Facebook wont install

Like title says, facebook as an update from market would not install. I removed existing fb and install clean, no dice. A copy of the olderversion also would not install. SOmething about not signed came up. Any ideas?
Love the Overclocked "nonsense" CM7

I wiped dalvik fixed permissions now all is good.... except. Now it just force closes as soon as i try to open it
Love the Overclocked "nonsense" CM7

The latest facebook version doesn't work for me either. I have learned to back-up my facebook app before updating it.

I tried the backup and wouldn't install. I'm running the newest one finally. After a bunch of cache wipes and fix permissions I got it working. Even the backup did not want to cooperate.

Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App

Yep the latest FB update has issues. It installed fine for me on my G2 with CM7 nightly 41, but it force closes when tapping Profile, Friends, or Messages from the main screen. I didn't back up the previous version so I'm stuck with it until they release an update. Unless someone is so kind as to post an apk of the previous version.
It runs fine on my GF's Fascinate (running 2.1) though.
I've always found that the quality of the Android FB app mirrors the relationship between FB and Google.

[ROM] CM7.1 Raw Build by DragonStalker Android 2.3.4 "TESTED" (5-2-11)

This is the first run "TEST" of the CM7.1 Android 2.3.4.
FIRST OFF FLASH AT YOUR OWN RISK. I AM IN NOW WAY RESPONSIBLE FOR FIRE THEFT BRICKING OF OR TO YOUR DEVICE.
I am not a professional dev like most of your favs. I just like to make my own roms, and just happened to think would be nice to release.
This is based off the CM7.1 Android 2.3.4 build thats been in the making. It does not have the Video GTalk. That will have to come later. But this is VERY fast and VERY smooth IMHO.
I loaded this over RoyalGinger and all it did was speed it up a lil bit.
Loaded clean and works flawless. I saw no issues. If you find any please let me know and if it's in my power i will fix it.
Whats Working:
WIFI
BT
Phone Calls "CLEAR"
Camera
WIFI Calling
Torch.
Not Working:
haven't found anything as of yet.
Thank You goes out to CyanogenMod Team, Rafy for the talk thru. GraffixNYC for the Gapps. And thank you to everyone that test and gives feedback.

So is your build part of the OP or did you hijack the thread? I want to know so I know which one to download.
If it is not part of the thread, do you have a thread started that shows your build log so I can compare them?

We basically did the build around the same time. You could download either. I posted mine just as a mirror as I doubt anything changed in the source since dragon did his build. Only thing I've noticed so far is there is a little delay with the screen coming on when you wake it.

Jelly bean 4

I have downloaded Jelly Bean 4 for HTC Incredible to test it out. I have noticed that some apps from the market will not download. One app is XDA. When it downloads then tries to install it says "couldn't install on usb storage or sd card". Any help would be great. I would ask the developer but xda will not allow me to post on the thread which sucks too.

It's an alpha version. Expect a lot of stuff to not work yet. You are better off waiting for them to develop it further.

What I did was go into the system settings and then storage, unmount your SD card and then install XDA. After installation go back in and remount the SD card. It worked for me. I am assuming it will work for any other apps you are not able to install

Unmounting the SD worked for me. Thank you.

Hey Albinoman, I just flashed alpha 4 yesterday and alpha 5 this afternoon, great work! I appreciate all the hard work and would love to help out with development anyway possible.
I did just notice that 'System settings -> About phone -> Mod version' is still listed as Alpha-4. I just wanted to check that I actually did flash Alpha 5 and it just didn't get the version updated. I double checked the zip files and made sure I flashed the right one (did it a second time to be sure), wiped data/cache, etc, but it still shows Alpha-4. Is this correct?
Thanks again, I will be following your ROM closely
