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

Android security. Personal files safe?

Hi guys. Lately I seem to be going paranoid, so here is a question for you all. How safe are my personal files, pictures, keepass databases etc if they are located on the sd card of my desire which is always connected to the internet? Could someone hack into my phone and download them?
Thanks for your time.

The answer is no. To get hacked you have to be stupid and purposefully do it or get a virus on your phone.

They should not be able to do that unless u somehow got a virus onto your phone.

Thanks for the responses guys! The question that begs to be asked now, is what anti-virus / anti-trojan you would recommend?
Is it avgfree or lookout? Or is there some other choice?
Thanks once again!

Fizzerr is in fact correct. As long as you don't install any suspicious applications, that specifically have the permissions to access your SDcard and are specifically programmed to act as a virus and upload your data to the application author, then nothing could go wrong.

Strange isn't it. Mine did that yesterday too, even though I had previously deleted Market-updater.apk from /system/app
The latest version of new Market is a lot better though, especially with different DNS settings.
See this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=18968498&postcount=10726

A couple of versions here:
3.1.3 / 3.1.5 / and the lastest 3.3.11.

Tried Im still at hoot suite because im not that heavy twitter user, launches fast loads fast, thats it for me.

I use twitter and faceache and find android pro widgets ( APW ) an absolute gem and don't even need the official apps along side.
Another is whizz widgets which give a very nice stack feature but not sure how it will run on willy, again no need for official apps as it pulls data from web.

Thanks. Gonna try em all. Yeah, compatibility on willy is also important. Also the data usage coz i dont have 3g or edge. I only have wifi at home so have to adjust to that.
With Tweetdeck, i dont miss a single tweet even if i log after 8 hours.
Widgets are also great in battery drain and so with willy, that another thing to keep in mind.

I was with wildfire for a long time and battery etc was never really affected by apw for me as you can set manual update refresh so it never pulls data until you decide same goes with whizz. Bonus is you get many other widgets too which in return can replace other apps etc so battery usage balances itself out in effect.
I wouldn't recommend to anybody a battery hogging app nor any app I hadn't used and tested myself. Apw is an app I will always use as its a favourite for sure.

1) no idea
2) for better battery, rooting is the best option and installing a custom rom. It would increase speed too.
3) i think it can oot be changed
With a custom rom, u can have a different battery icon.
4) interesting, try any app like flashlight from play store.
5) there are few specific apps for that. U can get via play store

Actually I dont want to play around with his device... because MOdding and installing custom roms caused my SAMSUNG Galaxy Ace to lose BOOTLOADER.
Aren't there any user-friendly methods that can be applied to obtained the stated!

Honestly i dont remember much coz i just spent 5 days with stock rom. After 5 days, i rooted my phone
