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 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

New market update

http://www.engadget.com/2011/07/12/google-updating-android-market-app-on-phones-adding-movies-and/
New market update confirmed and coming soon according to Google. I think it looks pretty awesome. People are already yelling about the WP7 comparisons, but I think its pretty slick.

I think it looks quite smart. Bring it on

yup its very pretty, so us rooted users wont be able to rent movies?

Mine was choppy and didn't display images till i rebooted. then it worked just fine.
also if you're rooted you can try to wipe market data in titanium backup and reboot. or wipe cache and reboot and try that.

Works pretty dam good on non-rooted stock.
Video is nice and smooth. Couldn't really tell I was streaming on mobile data. (Which was probably 4g)

dang! Im running the pyro rom but cant get this to install. it just says "Application not installed" anyone has any ideas how to fix this?

Anyone having issues updating apps? I've had 2 apps now show up in the 'update' heading, but when u click thru to the app the top dialogue boxes are 'open' and 'uninstall', as if that page doesn't recognize that there's an update.
Once 2 apps were available for updating, the "update 2" button comes up and it allows me to hit it. 1 of the 2 updated. the other still won't. Tried wiping Market data and rebooting, no luck. bleh.
UPDATE: Well after doing several reboots and etc. etc., I just simply went back to the file (From this thread) and re-installed the market again. Now the 'update' button shows up! Not sure what I did but it works now.

Cydia Substrate for Android

http://www.cydiasubstrate.com/
for Android
Supported on versions 2.3 through 4.2,
including Kindle Fire, CyanogenMod, and Intel.
While Android itself is "open", the devices that run it often aren't. Before installing Substrate, you will first need to get root access on your device.
Depending on which device you have, and which version of Android, this process differs; we therefore can't provide a simple recommendation.
Once you have root, you will need to install our APK, run the application, click Install, and grant Superuser access to Substrate when prompted.

Interesting
Sent from my SPH-L900 using xda app-developers app

@jd14771: In the play store description it says:
Users should keep in mind that Substrate includes a safety feature: by holding down the volume-up button on your device you can disable Substrate while it is attempting to load these modifications (such as while it is turning on and starting); this will give you an opportunity to use Google Play to uninstall things that might be broken.

Ya I installed winterboard which is a tool that lets you make theme changes and stuff on the fly. Looks like it still has a ways to go. After I uninstalled Cydia Substrate and winterboard my network came back online.

Right now its more of a beginning step this is going to be awesome once it gets up and running well. All the mods you want all in a app not having to browse throughout xda forums or google play I say bring cydia to android. After all the more options the better no? If you don't like it just don't use it lol
Also when I used my network worked fine I was on liquid smooth ROM may 3 or 5 build not sure anyways winter board wouldn't open up however. Back on cm10.1 and haven't tried it again don't plan on till it gets updated

Can I ask why not? I get not wanting to go as far as custom roms, but with adblockers and access to the system and data partitions, you can do quite a bit without having to go for a full rom.

Well I'm just comfortable with touchwiz and honestly the last phone I had I thought I knew what doing and bricked. So I lost the courage just getting into all this so I'm a newbie...
:'( but I see all the customizations and would love to have them so I just wanted to take the easy way out and get some apks that would work with my stock...
Sent from my SPH-L900 using XDA Premium HD app

Best way to customize your unrooted phone is probaly thru your launcher of choice... there are some that can be customized more than others, basically what your looking for is different themes/icons which you can find for free or buy in the play store.

Have to agree with lickarock. There's still quite a lot you can do without going all out like full ROMs. If you simply root your phone and load SuperSU (SuperUser), you can load something like ES File Explorer and do simple installs of apk files through there. You really don't have to worry about bricking your phone in that situation.
While I do load different roms on my N2, like you, I just wanted to get blacked out apps also. I'm running blacked out Gmail and Facebook currently, which I loaded through ESFE. Just make sure you uninstall the original apps then install the apks through ESFE and reboot. Everythings running smooth on my phone.
I've had a few scares loading different ROMs where my phone wouldn't boot up and I thought I maybe bricked my phone.......luckily I got it back up and running. Battery pulls suck.......lol
Just be sure to read through all the posts that you find which interest you. Typically, people post issues they are having and possible fixes. If you want to run different roms or something later, just be sure your phone is running the correct specs for it, ie....your baseband version is MA7 vs MC2, not all roms are compatible with multiple versions.

Okay I think I will go that route... ? Say I root it, and 4.2 finally makes its way ota will it still hit my phone or will I have to unrooted in order to get it?

If you want a brick-proof(ish) method to get a Root, just Odin a full rooted restore to your phone. Such as this one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2241136. Its about as mindless and safe as you can get.

If you choose not to root, there are still several ways to have a highly customized phone.
Personally, I am a fan of rooting. I have rooted every android phone I have had except my Note 2. Long story short, I bought my Note 2 through my business and cannot afford to run into any headaches that can sometimes pop up even to the most experienced flasher. I will say the Note 2 is also the first android phone that I haven't felt the need to root for increased performance. CPU, RAM, Battery life, this phone has all three for days.
I created a thread dedicated to creating a custom look without root. And in many ways this is the most custom phone I've ever had.

For a blacked out messaging app you might check out Go SMS Pro. There are downloadable themes and you can make your own.
