[Q] Gallery renamed "false" - Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

For some reason, Gallery is named "false" in the app drawer and when placed on the desktop. It still shows as "Gallery3D.apk" in /system/app/. I use LauncherPro, and I've deleted the rest of the launchers. This isn't a big deal to me, but I'm just curious why it happened.
Thanks.

Bonsai right? Easy fix is delete it and download fresh from the market. This happened to me going from Bonsai 3 to Bonsai 4. It wasn't in 3 so I dl'ed from the market. Bonsai 4 has an optimized version included and causes this wierd "false" name when writing over the market version.

Yeah, it must be if you had it before upgrading to Bonsai 4. Since it was removed in version 3 i never bothered redownloading it. After flashing Bonsai 4.0 i didn't have this issue. I'm on version 1.1.30682-desire. If anyone has this issue again they should probably try removing the gallery and pushing the optimized one back on to their phone.

For some reason after I deleted the "false" version and pushed the optimized version it still labeled it "false". So I restored the stock version with sdx app removal tool then replaced that with the optimized version pulled from the zip.
BONSAI 4 and loving it!

Cool. Fixed it. Thanks, guys.

[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?
settings > Applications > Manage Applications > ALL > Market > Clear data
Geniusdog... what all does the ro.build.fingerprint line do?

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.

Do you have the newest version of the market? And is it a specific app or any one?
Sent from my Droid Incredible running Myn's Warm Two Point Two RLS4.
Download the Vendor.apk (there is one in the apps section that is themed black blue and red i think) and flash the zip. Should work fine.
Edit: Here is the link

Do a search for the newest market, 2.2.7, and download it. Clear market cache. Boot into recovery, flash the market zip, and see what happens.

Not able to download from market on evo

Does anyone have an issue with the market? I can not download anything. In catlog it shows can't find pathname for completed download uri.
Any ideas?
tried a battery pull? Just checked mine, works fine.
YES tried this.. I did have a problem with the latest market where I had to uninstall the market update to revert back to the ORIG market (before the update) to get it to download anything.. BUT since I did a ROM update, I dont have the old version anymore .. so NOW the latest version of the market does not download at all....
Any ideas??
If google voice came on your rom, make sure you haven't killed or uninstalled it. That will mess up market downloads sometimes.

I dont think it came with the ROM but I did install it. Anyway, its there and running fine so I guess that isnt the issue with the market...
HMMM
You could try installing an older version of the market. Has it worked at all since the rom update? Or it just isn't working right now?

It was not working BEFORE the rom update but I was able to uninstall the market update and use the OLD market and it worked fine..
SO I believe this is a GOOGLE MARKET ISSUE.. where can I find the previous market that WILL install on the EVO?
If you want, you can pm me with your email & I'll email you the vending.apk that came with cm6 for the Evo. I'm not sure if you can simply replace the apk in system/app or how to go about installing, but if you want it I'll send it to you.

Just so you know, you can upload it here in the thread as well. And yes, the market apk can be replaced.

When I click insert, it only gives the option to insert from gallery, camera, or URL. This may be because I'm on my phone, not sure.
And second, I just remembered that my market is themed. I don't think this will cause problems but the op may not want a matted blues market. If not I could pull it out of the original rom download.

Yea, that's just cause you're on the mobile app. And it wouldn't make a difference, just his preference, but yea the original apk could be pulled.
Also OP, what rom are you using?

need help on editing the build.prop

Can anyone tell me what needs to be edited in the build.prop file to remove the sprint stuff from the phone. I'm using ES File Explorer and can edit the file with this just not sure what needs to be changed.
For instance this is what is there for the screen resolution under
#Following property will be referenced by Settings.
ro.product.display_resolution = 4.3 inch WVGA resolution
Just not sure if changing it to the proper size will do the trick or is there more?
Also see the 4 references to sprint under #Welly_Fang_12/30/2010
do I just delete sprint-us and put in verizon in the four lines of code?
Okay I installed a froyo backup to compare the build.prop files and tehy are quite different.
Under #Welly_Fang in froyo there are only two lines:
ro.cdma.home.operator.numeric = 310012
ro.cdma.home.operator.alpha = Verizon
So I'm assuming this should be the same for the gingerbread build.prop though it has four lines of code referencing sprint-us not two.
Also there is no reference to screen resolution in the froyo build.prop file and when I checked settings its not listed under hardware either. So Im thinking of just changing this to 3.7 in gingerbreads build.prop and see what happens.
If any thing goes wrong I can always flash a backup.
Well when I got into the gingerbread build.prop again I noticed there were actually two #Wolly_Fang sections. One for Verizon and one for Sprint so I just deleted all the Sprint lines of code. Then under resoluton I just changed it to 3.7 and then rebooted without any problems and it says 3.7 under hardware now.
Now I just need to figure out how to get rid of Sprint in the Market app. I'm assuming that can be done by replacing the market in system apps folder, probably market updater and market provider too. I tried doing it by installing a copy of teh new market over it but that didn't work. Any one know?

This is just rooted stock gingerbread not a custom ROM. I read that you could edit the build.prop file using just a file explorer in a thread for another phone. Now I'm trying to find how to get rid of Sprint from the market. Not sure where they put it. I could always load the kitchen back on to my laptop and buld a custom ROM again to try and get rid of it.
I've noticed that Sprint doesn't show up in the old market just the new market. Just not sure where the market is getting this info from to know to display it.
sprint was just replaced by verizon in my market today so it must have been something on googles end as i didn't do anything to change it.

this is happening on mine and wife's phone too we are both running bonsia b14
Seems to be happening on a few GB leaks. The only way I found to fix it is to delete the market and market updater, flash in an old market 2.3.6 and freeze Market Updater. I will be experimenting with 3.0.2.7 tomorrow but in the meantime here is 2.3.6 for you to try:

Yeah, I believe that any 3.x version will still update automatically no matter what you freeze. I will see if I can find 3.026 somewhere today and try that. But you have to clear data in Titanium and Force Stop in settings, then remove it completely from your system, flash the file above and immediately freeze market updater and market feedback upon boot. The older version of the market is much faster anyway.

Oh ok thanks I d/l yours. Will follow this when I get home tonight. This started last Wednesday or Thursday for me sucked I was a way on vacation rebuilding my phone on my anniversary at dinner LOL. No matter what I did I thought there was a issue with permissions or something tried everything except flashing back to stock. Is it only on certain versions of the leak? I can go back to ec05 but really don't want to.
Yes it is only on certain leaks and I am guessing it is caused by the same thing that causes the new Google Voice to FC. Anyone running Market 3.1.5 on a Gingerbread leak let me know which ROM so I can see if we are missing a file removed as bloat.

That does not run either the new Market or Google Voice updates. Is there a GB leak ROM that does not FC with either of these updates? I guess I can compare files in the stock deodexed EH17.
