[Q] FastWebInstall/Android ID problem - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
I was trying to use the AppBrain FastWebInstaller, which didn't work. Their FAQ mentions, that certain devices (mostly Droid 2) have their Android ID value set to a fixed value (here). I used an app from the market to find out my ID and saw that I have the exact same issue, my ID is reported as 9774d56d682e549c (the value you get when runninbg in an emulator).
Does anyone know if this is fixable? Could you please test your ID's (just search for Android ID on market, there are two Apps, ID and Android ID card)?
I have the latest JPM firmware installed, although the FastWebInstaller never worked on my phone, even with another firmware, so this might have been a problem for some time. Thanks a lot!
Regards,
Infestor

Install apps directly from web market.

So, I've been trying to get this working for a while now and I have had some success. I edited the build.prop file and changed a few lines where it said brand /device product names to Motorola Droid and it seems to have done the trick.
Now all apps do not install properly, some say device not supported so maybe changing the product name to something else might help.
I should also mention that I changed the build fingerprint to "ro.build.fingerprint=verizon/voles/sholes/sholes:2.2.1/FRG83D/75603:user/release-keys" to get the market to show some protected apps.
Let me know if anybody wants to try my build.prop
Update: Changed my build.prop to make my Nook look like a Galaxy Tab, and more apps can be installed. Yay for web sync!
post the build prop - would like to see the changes.
thanks
Found this on the web...
ro.build.description=GT-P1000-user 2.2 FROYO XXJM6 release-keys
ro.build.fingerprint=samsung/GT-P1000/GT-P1000/GT-P1000:2.2/FROYO/XXJM6:user/release-keys
This is very interesting to me. I install many of my apps and games through the web interface due to the market being funky on my nook. but still I have ran across many apps that say my device is unsupported.
If you drop a build.prop I will give it a try.
...but that didn't work.

What is the Android ID exactly for

I know that the Android ID helps you get access to the Market but what else does it do?
I have installed di11is5.6OC and Android ID Changer and I also have my original settings.db file from stock. The ID that shows in Android ID Changer and the one that shows in my original settings.db are very different. I was curious as to what the differences are.
Purpose #1 Tracking you... Apps stats or some app dev use it to identify user to the prog or games.
The android id change on every phone reset so it's not something of high interest. The only problem is some rom used the same android id for every user and this was queueing the downloads since the market saw all the request from the same id.
The ID is set by Google and created when a user first boots up the device. It remains the same unless the user does a “factory reset” of the phone, which deletes the phone’s data and settings.
The rom uses a script to assign one randomly most likely and the one in your backup is probably correct. Flashing back to stock will also allow you to use the id changer app to "save" id on your internal sd so that you can "change" it after flashing froyo. Or you can type your correct id in the box to change it back.
Without the random id script we were all being assigned the same id. Personally I don't bother correcting mine but for some it is an issue.
Some games rely on your id to track progress, etc. I know storm was one that people have mentioned in the past.

[Q] Android Phones Association

When I try and download an application, etc. it tells me that "There are no Android phones associated with this account. Please sign in with a different account." I do not have an Android phone. What does this mean, and how can I get around this. Thanks.
Association Problem
Same problem i have too.
What is needed to be done?
First thing - this should be in the Q & A Section.
My guess from your description is that you are trying to 'push' from the market web site?
Depends largely on what ROM you are using. do a search for 'Market Fix' in these forums. The Market availability varies from Rom to Rom. Especially when you throw in the web-market variable.

Bluetooth ble 4.0 and Android, I'm lost!

I am using a hm-10 to connect to my Android test application. Unfortunately, is a big struggle compared to the hc-05 device. Anyway. The "samplegatt" does not work, either with my device or for whatever reason. So I found a different blog that explains the sample must be modified:
(the dumb forum won't allow me to post a link)
ayh tee tee pee android-er.blogspot.com/2015/12/connect-hm-10-ble-module-to-android.html?showComment=1454055306623#c9017603593836048433
So after the modifications, THAT won't work either. It's not the first one, just the most recent.... I have tried so many example applications from google searching, I have saturated my efforts. I KNOW the module can work with my phone, from using a ble test application from play store (that I can't seem to find company website or track down the source code for).
I was hoping to know if anyone else struggled with this, and if you can advise me on how / where to get a working sample application.
It turns out, the new changes for sdk version 23 require all types of permission changes in the code, since someone decided it was a good idea to enable gps location in order to use bluetooth. I had to change my target sdk back to 22 and the samples started working.

I Can not spoof Android device with xposed framework

Even after 5 days of trying I didn't manage to spoof an Android app. My configuration is: Lenovo Vibe P1 (P1a42_288_160721_ROW) + ROOT + TWRP + XPOSED. The thing is that android APP somehow tracks me and I get ban immediately. In Terms & Conditions is stated, that this app tracks: device and device identification number, device IMEI country IP address browser type and version operating system Internet service providers advertising identifier of your device visitor identifier I tried following modules but with no success: Device ID Masker, Android Device Info Viever & Changer, Hijack Suite, Phone ID Changer, Serial Number Changer, ID Changer Exposed, Exchange User Agent Faker. Donkey Gunard didn't work on my Lenovo nor on Xiaomi because of Force Close.
As for me, the best is Device ID Masker because it changes almost everything (I have a PRO edition) and it was updated few months ago. But even using this nice module wasn't enough to solve my problem. The APP somehow tracks me and I get ban everytime I try to sign up.
every time I use a new phone number which is 100% unused in that app
every time I change my IP
every time I change Google Advertisement ID manually and all available values in Device ID Masker
every time I clean Data and Cache and after that I restart my phone
every time I spoof all values for all available apps, even system
The only thing I'm not able to change is Android Version/Release, because I get a bootloop if I try to to that. I discovered that the APP does't work properly without Google Services, so I guess that it tracks me somehow through Google Sercices.
Do you have any advices or hints what I shold do in order to make the APP unable to track me?
Thank you in advance ǃ
Phones and other electronics have many IDs, some websites and apps have more advanced user tracking. They can use a combination of information from hardware, behavior, networking information and the smallest of details to make each user a one in a billion or as unique enough to flag and track. This information can be used aginst the users, sold, and carry other privacy concerns. Your best bet is to make your information as generic as possible and to change as many IDs as possible. Trial and error, Its not easy beating big budget company stalkers.
More about ids
Is it possible to block a phone from my app? Do phones have some ID that can be accessed?
Hello I ask this question because I have an app where people will have to post very serious stuff and if a user posts something that is not right, then I want to ban that person forever but how can I
