Market missing alot of apps

I have noticed that with all builds available android market has alot of apps missing (such as google maps, etc)
I have found various vending.apk replacements for qvga models that fix this problem, but until now I have been unable to replace market.
I am currently using Gingerbones 5.25 odex version.
Does anyone know how to update market with the qvga patched version of market and make it work for an odex system.
Thanks

grab a file manager with root accessfor example file expert . go to settings clear market data and cache then using file explorer navigate to system apps folder delete vending apk and dex files and throw in the one from the link below then restart clear dalvik cache and you are ready to go.
the apk is not odexed but it works on odexed builds.

also this is the new market after the facelift but itisn,t the latest version.....the latest version with qvga fix didnt work for me because it was patched with wildfire build.prop

Worked a charm, still havent got all apps (google maps is still missing) but when searching for "video" for example I get over 600 results.
Thanks a bunch

It's kind of strange as I can access google maps even on non patched markets there must be something wrong with your build. Maybe because gingerbones was stripped down a bit. Anyway there is patched G maps with worldwide navigation enabled floating in Android apps and games forum give it a go it works great for me.

["fugutweak"] for Overcome 4.0.0

**** managed to post this in dev - please move?
In good spirit of fugu I ripped some bin's 'n' lib's from JQ3 (GB 2.3.5) and made them flashable via cwm for Overcome 4.0.0 (and possibly for lower versions to). Ive tested this for about a week without issues..
Files updated in bin folder
app_process
system_server
Files updated in libs folder
libopencore_player.so
libquickview.so
libstagefright.so
libsthmb.so
libtflua.so
libtfutils.so
I suggest make a copy of these files before proseeding and put them in a recovery file to revert changes.
Note, tried to update libsurfaceflinger.so but phone won't boot, therefore its removed.
Download

Where do you want it moving to?
It looks like it belongs in Development. Is this for another device?

Can you say what exactly this update do? better media playback?

Fugu tweaks are System server and app process, from sgs
Which device are these from?
you've done ......."more"...
why not call it something else?

is this usable tweak for overcome 4

please specify what will be change/diffrent before and after use this tweak,thank you.

[WINDOWS] Rom Zip Modifier

Hi,
everytime I want to flash a new version of a rom I have to modify the zip file contents, i.e. delete some files etc, which is a very tedious process.
Thats why I created a little tool for Windows (requires .NET 3.5) that can do the following with a zip file of a rom:
- Delete files
- Add / Replace files
- extract .apk's, decompile them, modify (regex replace) inside text / xml files within, recompile them and put the updated version back into the rom zip.
The tool is still beta, so there could be many errors if you don't use it correctly... always make a copy of the rom zip before using this tool on it
The included apktool (for decompile/recompile of apk) requires JRE 1.6 and only works for Android Jellybean roms / framework-res.apk's - but I think you could just use another apktool version for different Android versions.
Included in the package is a sample configuration that is basically exactly what I am using. Of course you can change what files to add, delete and modify. Also there is a screenshot attached so you can see what it looks like - as you can see you need to have some basic knowledge of how android rom stuff works, I don't think this is useful to total noobs, sorry.
If you have any problems / suggestions feel free to write here.
I hope this is useful to someone
Regards
Abomb
Changelog:
1.0: Inital release
1.1: Some error checking, not all errors will be caught but at least some basic ones.
1.2: Files to delete and apk's to modify can now be selected from the zip file via file browser
1.3: Log during modify operation and bugfixes
1.4: More bugfixes, plus the settings are now stored in the image of a cat

This looks like it could be useful. Thanks for sharing.

Yeah I noticed, the problem seems to be thatthe zip file contains some folders like "a" and "A" - which is no Problemon Linux, Android etc, but does not work under Windows I haven't found any solution yet, but I'll try to find a fix for it.

[ROM] Stock 4.1.4 For 101xs, Clean, Stable, Root

Hello guys,
8 years after the release of my 4.1.2 rooted rom, I retrieved my 101 xs and I updated my rom. So here it is, an updated 4.1.4 rom, rooted and optimized that you can install now (don't forget to make backups of course).
I mainly got the tweaks from BlueAndroid: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2073859
What I did
Retrieved build.prop enhancements and init.d tweaks from BlueAndroid
Updated busybox to 1.32-Stericsson
Updated CA certs from my recent Samsung phone, because the stock ones were expired
Removed ui sounds completely, I dislike them
Added custom host file for blocking ad servers
Added Viper4Android 2.4.0.1 (was Awesome Beats on 4.1.2)
Added Sony Walkman (music player)
Added Mixplorer v6.57.1 and MixArchive
Added Seeder (entropy generator to reduce lag)
I didn't do any UI tweaks (I'm not good at this). If someone wants, just do it. If you want to build your own version of the rom, I've made a script that builds the patched rom from the stock file. It runs under Linux or WSL. You'll have to download mkrom.zip and androidmerged.squashfs. Unzip the zip and place the squashfs file in the same directory. Then run mkrom.sh, and if everything goes well you should get a file named archos.ext4, ready to be installed (see Installation below).
Also I tried putting more recent versions of Google Play Store and Archos apps in the system/app folder, but when I did this, the apps were not working correctly, so I left them as their old versions. If someone has an explanation, please tell me
Download
Version 1: Archos_4.1.4_Mwyann_1.zip
Installation
I'm just gonna copy/paste BlueAndroid installation instructions here:
Install Developer Edition if you didn't already
connect USB cable & check if USB debugging is already enabled !
put archos.ext4 in your device ( root directory ! ) , or using adb command :$ adb push archos.ext4 /mnt/storage ;
go to recovery -> Developer Edition Menu -> Remove Android Kernel ( if exist ! ) -> Flash Kernel & Initramfs -> copy here zImage and initramfs.cpio.lzo in the new drive that appears !
OK -> wait to reboot -> enjoy the new rom
Don't hesitate to tell me if it worked or not, and what you think of this.

Hi!
I have tried to install it, but when I restart the device it just do not want to boot.
It freez ad the Archos logo screen!
What I am doing wrong!
I have dongraded my device to 4.0.26 version.
After that I have enabled the USB debuging.
Than I have installed the SDK version from Archos web site.
Restart and paste your firmware.
Restart again and flash the zImage and initramfs.cpio.lzo (deleting ar not the Archos Kernel - no matter the result is the same - freez).
And nothing. Any help?!?!
Thanks!
PS: May be there is something wrong with your zImage and initramfs.cpio.lzo files, because with the files from this post it works.

So it did work with the new zImage and initramfs.cpio.lzo files? It's possible I just took the wrong files, from 4.1.1. I'll update those files soon.
Edit: Files updated to 4.1.2, should be fine now.

I will trythis method on the 97xs

Great It is ok
if you use the 4.0.26 !!!

doesn't work for me, "Usb connection : please copy a zImage and an initramfs, then press ok to disconnect" i used adb to put

THANKS for your THANKS :good:

Bump to this thread, because I've updated it after 8 years Enjoy a fresh 4.1.4 rom, rooted and updated as far as I could.

[Flashable Zip] Android 4.2.2 Phone Application

I have created this for a user but you may flash it if you want.
This is phone, not dialer since this is the previous version from Android 4.2.2.
I did not get the phone application itself so I don't know which rom is it from (most likely a stock one).
Download Link: http://caftp.pcsat.tv/Flashable_zips/Phone_4.2.2_Installer/
Thanks to: @plegdroid - Phone apk provided and a base flashable zip to collect the script binary, some newer mount commands found in the updater script and a useful delete command which seems just too easy to remember which was provided to me. - Tester
