New market is now public

It seems liks Google started using the new market. What do you guys think about it? I kinda like it

I downloaded the apk and tbh its well better than the old one graphically. The widget section is welcomed and the overall look is just great
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App

I uninstalled the updates (installed 2.2.6 APK), shut down, powered on my phone, checked the market and it updated itself automagically to 2.2.7.
It looks a bit nicer than the old one, although part of me misses the tabs - it works more fluidly than before - haven't had any downloads crash out on me either yet which is a good sign.

how do you get the new market? i dont see any updates on my desire running on cm 6.1.0

One day you'll wake up and it's there. No visible updates, just Google magic.

I just got it today. When I open the market apps it there already. The UI looks good.

Downloads and installations are also a bit quicker which is nice.

More to the point, how do I get rid of it.
Using appbrain I can uninstall the market and briefly use the old one, until it updates itself again later.
And I can't believe google just added some eye candy, but the search function is still rubbish and there aren't any filters - tsk tsk.

I guess you could try uninstalling (from manage applications) and then try and find an old APK for the old market - that might stop updating itself

I wouldn't mind, except there's a big bug (on my Desire - Orange uk). Whenever my phone runs out of battery and I charge it and go to the market, then click on 'my apps' it only shows about a third of them. So I have no idea if I have any updates on the missing ones. The only way I've resolved this is to go into settings/applications and 'uninstall updates' on the marketplace. Briefly the old market comes back before being replaced by the new one, and all my apps are then visible in the market until the next time the power runs out. Very lame.

try clearing the data (and cache - why not) on the market - go back into it accept the terms and conditions, then let the apps refresh itself.

Doesn't work for me.
Also, I don't think I've had any updates for any apps since the new market came out. I'm hoping this is a coincidence and that Google tested at least that bit.

I have had updates with apps - not many but some since updating to the new market.
not sure why you aren't getting the update - maybe its phasing across handsets in some sort of random order...?

Android Market 3.3.11

Recent article on Android Police concerning the newest version of the Android Market (as of 1/11/11).
Article Link: http://www.androidpolice.com/2011/1...te-update-over-wi-fi-only-shortcuts-and-more/
Market_3.3.11.apk Download Link: http://lts.cr/BDW_
New Features (Taken from article):
-New setting: Auto-update apps (Sets all apps to auto-update mode, woohoo!)
-New setting: Update over Wi-Fi only
-New setting: Auto-add shortcuts (Automatically adds homescreen shortcuts for new apps, ala Honeycomb)
-Smaller font
-New app drawer icon
-Microphone (voice command) button in search menu
-Star rating chart on app pages
-Minor UI tweaks
New Features for me coming from 3.1.5 (Please tell me if any of these were present in 3.2.0, so I can add them to the few features list, or remove them from here entirely):
-In "My Apps" view, you can now sort apps by account
-When a new update is shown in the notification bar, it tells you which account it is from.
I installed by moving the .apk to my SD-Card and installing from Root Explorer as I would a regular app. I was using the Market version 3.1.5 previously. I'm not sure how it works if you are using a different Market version, although I assume it works in the same manner.
I can confirm that it works without a hitch on the Desire GSM running CM 7.1.0.

Yup, seems to work for me too. I just installed it how I do any other apk

Works with Sense ROMs via normal install

love the auto all app update....good for us flashers

Works great on my Atrix. Able to install it just like any other apk file (unlike versions 3.1.6 and 3.2). Love the tweaked ui and the new options in settings that allows you to set all apps to auto update and to only update over wifi. Even the voice command button in the search bar is a nice touch. It seems to load quick and is more responsive than 3.1.5. I haven't had any issues with downloads hanging up like in 3.1.5 either.

works a lot faster than the last one too....

Thanks for this. Works fine when installed normally too in Sense roms.

Thanks very much, this works well on my phone. Copied it to SD card, installed like a normal app via ES File Explorer.Simple and works like a charm.(currently on Froyo 2.2)

Try clearing the cache and data for the market in manage apps. Some people have reported that to fix their FC problems.

Sometimes a chmod 777 /cache works too

[APP]Root Browser: A Free Root Explorer

Hi,
I don't know if you guys already know this or not, but I found this app while I was reading some topics in Android Apps & Games section which works just like Root Explorer but it comes for FREE. The Devs name is jrummy16.
I've attached the apk.
• The original post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1338582
• Market Link:
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.jrummy.root.browserfree
• Donation link: (Support the Dev if you like it, Please)
https://market.android.com/details?...xLDEwOSwiY29tLmpydW1teS5yb290LmJyb3dzZXIiXQ..
The trick to make the free version to a Pro version is the simplest I've seen and that is,
All you need to do is create this file:
/system/etc/.root_browser
(don't forget the ".")
Re-open the app and voila! you have the premium features.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Pros: (My opinion only)
- FREE
- Unbelievably smooth interface. Way better than Root Explorer.
Cons:
- An Exit button would be nice. Double back works as exit though.
- No Extraction option! However in Root Explorer that option doesn't work properly.

Thanks for sharing.

I been using this program for awhile now and its simply awesome! And best part, FREE! I bought the upgrade version to support the author too.

Yep, it's great and worth buying at that cheap price.
Added Screenshots and a little Pros & Cons list which I've found so far, on the Lite version of course.

Great app and I mean absolutely no disrespect, but I find the font hard to read. Is there any way to use the default system font?

Thanks,
Will give it a try later,
Hopefully using this will stop my pesky Singtel apps
reappearing after rebooting each time!

Thanks, but tried titanium but apps reappeard after reboot,
And unfortunately the same thing has happened with this app as well!
Driving me mad this is, can see im going to have to do complete

Currently using -doomlords-easy-rooting-toolkit on Xperia Arc

effectively a great app !
more infos from the developper himself here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1338582

I am an idiot
I posted all but the trick to make the Free version to a Pro version. Now added it anyway. OP Edited.
This thing was great, now it's awesome
[Still those who like this app I'll urge them to get the Donation/Pro version from Market to support dev for continuing his good work]

thank you.
nice app.

Cheers mate, great app. Just got the paid one from the market... Play store. =D

thanks for the info.
but I think its not working. tried to make the file '.root_browser' in /system/etc. but its says 'failed'.

way round failed to create folder
Hi what i did to get round this was downloaded solid explorer (file viewer app in mp) then used that to create folder.
Just as reference though solid explorer is great for copying files to external sd just having probs physically moving files with it but its safer just copying anyhow incase of power loss.
Hope this helps.

[APP] LMK Whitelist v2.0 for Semaphore, Mackay, Cyancore & Fishears

I had a few spare hours and made an app to add processes to the whitelist of the low memory killer.
This feature is currently available in
Semaphore Kernel for 4.2 JB
Mackay Kernel (untested)
Cyancore (untested)
Fishears Kernel (untested)
You can add up to 6 apps (kernel-limit) that will not get killed if your phone needs free ram. The purpose of this is to prevent e.g. your launcher from being killed when your phone needs more ram - resulting in redraws and unresponsiveness.But be warned: if you add too many memory intensive apps to this list your phone will get laggy and in worst case you will get force closes.
How it works:
To make an app "invulnerable" one needs to write it's PID (process ID) in a Kernel-config file
To get the PID of an app it has to run
This is why the whitelist-app starts a service (on boot and if you change the config) that runs and checks periodically for PIDs until it has found all your selected apps
Be aware that the service will run forever if you add an app that never gets started to the list!
If you only add your launcher and/or other apps that run permanently it will finish immediately.
Of course this requires root permissions to work!!
It is not the prettiest android app there is, so feel free to contribute with a better layout
Since Version 1.2 there are 3 open intents, which let you clear/create the whitelist from within other apps. The intent actions are:
com.jb.semaphorelmkwhitelist.CLEAR_WHITELIST
com.jb.semaphorelmkwhitelist.CREATE_WHITELIST
com.jb.semaphorelmkwhitelist.TOGGLE_WHITELIST
BIG THANKS TO STRATOSK, the developer of Semaphore Kernel and the Semaphore Manager app.
Please consider donating to him to support the further development of the kernel.
If you want to support my work please have a look at my apps in play store (see my signature)
I will send the source code to anyone asking me via PM.
Changelog:
Raise Version to 2.0
-) Ability to detect services running in their own process (works for greenify, possibly also tasker - didn't check though)
-) Create Launcher shortcuts for apps combined with whitelist actions, takes label and icon from the selected app
- clear whitelist: recommended for games, whitelist needs to be manually enabled again afterwards
- temporary add to whitelist: recommended for music player apps, the started app gets added to the whitelist until it is refreshed
1.4
Fix wrong game mode state on reboot
Option to force greenify apps in game mode (enable in settings)
1.3
Changed launcher shortcut to toggle game mode (whitelist on/off)
Added new open intent TOGGLE_WHITELIST
1.2
Added Launcher shortcut to clear whitelist
Added open Intents to clear/create whitelist
1.1
Renamed to LMK Whitelist
Added option to disable toast messages
Added about dialog
1.0

Thanks for the great idea and implementation, this is exactly what was needed to complete stratosk feature.
a small bug I encountered:
when trying to add the phone process through the "Lancher apps" list, if i press the "Phone" button the app adds the "com.android.contacts" process instead of the "com.android.phone" process. (BTW, pressing the "Contacts" button, also adds the "com.android.contacts" process).
Great job, Thanks!

I'm sure more kernel developers will implement it...
So, why not call it just LMK-Whitelist?
Also nobody could complain if you sell it at Playstore and share the profit with Stratosk...
For more comfort you could show the real name of the apps in the list and enable to choose all apps at once.
Great job, congratulations!

Hi,
do you think it would be possible to periodically check for the running apps and if they match the list configured in your app instead of having a service running once after the configuration or after system boot? As you stated the service is running forever if the app is not yet running. If you could make the interval to check for apps configurable, one could still use the current setup. But it could also be configured in the way that you just specify a list of apps, that are supposed to be LMK safe once they are running, and they would also be remove from the whitelist once you close them manually.
What do you think of this idea?

This is just the way android works - the apps in your launcher are sometimes combined in one package.

Not sure if I understood what you mean, just post again if I misunderstood.
You can already configure the check interval in settings (Hit the menu button!)
When I say the service runs forever it means that it will check every 60 seconds (configurable) if the selected apps are running.
Not sure why you want to remove apps from the whiteliste again, the whole purpose is to make an app always running.
Android won't kill an app in foreground...

Ok, I just tried again and this time the menu button worked
I just thought about the following use case:
I want to have an app staying in the memory after I started it manually and want keep it - also in the background - until I explicitly close it.
Also if you restart an app (for example the launcher) for some reason the pid changes and you would have to open your app to update the whitelist

If you must really update the whitelist after every reboot (empty battery, wipe cache/dalvik, use recovery etc.) than it's not funny. It means everytime you must think about this.

The whitelist content (i.e, the processes that were selected) is persistent after reboot.
There is no need to select it every time again (at least according to my experience).

As far as I remember the superlauncher script does a few more things, but if you just want to make your launcher persistent you don't need it any more.

Debloating

Hi, I just want to share with you the list of apps I have disabled using "Package Disabler Pro".
The app costs a couple of dollars and does not need root: it only disables apps and does not remove them.
I am attaching the XML file: you can either import this in the app (and modify the outcome) or open the file to see the list of disabled apps.
Two more apps that can be disabled are...
... com.sec.android.app.soundalive: the equaliser
... com.sec.hearingadjust: tweaks audio thru headphones based on an audio test
Be careful that by disabling get the following apps (list not exhaustive) you may get FC's in some settings:
- Themes (on top of the main settings page)
- Calendar, Messages (sms), Email (in sound settings)
Nothing to be worried about: it's just bad coding from Samsung

Be careful about disabling touchwiz. If you don´t have a launcher, you will end up in a reboot loop (read it elsewhere).
Btw, I am using it too. Will post the list briefly, but I am having problems: cant take any screenshots. Pressing the home button and power button simultaneously does nothing. Any ideas?

There is a massive thread going on for this with the note 5. I have been keeping track. But is the bloat carrier specific? I'm with 3 UK. I have package disabler pro and have done nothing with it as I'm worried running an xml for say an American bloated handset. Will cause issues. I don't like just turning of something when I have no idea what it's for.

Hi thanks for the list. I used the debloater app along with the list above to remove a boat load of apps.

I am removing a few more, will soon post a new list. Phone battery is now lasting a lot longer. Have also installed Google Launcher: it is a lot smoother than touch wiz, especially scrollable widgets.

Updated OP with more info and a new XML fie.
Enjoy...

I'm not seeing any attachment on OP. How do I get the XML file? Thanks.

Try now

What's the option that turns down the battery stats?
Because I go to the options and it doesn't show up the battery option

True... didn't notice... will try to find out

Smart Manager

A little to agressive (i lost some basic apps and I saw NFC and Miracast disabled) but I re-enabled what I needed and looks good. Had only one force close in settings.apk but might be related to missing battery options which I re-enabled as well. But overall great work, beer for you!
