I installed FasterFix and changed my server without writing down the stock, and I don't want to flash the original ROM. Could someone install FasterFix and WITHOUT changing anything, tell me what the stock server is? It would be greatly appreciated.

I need help with this too. Ever since I installed that program my gps is performing very poorly. What is the default?
Edit: I got it figured out. My phone defaults to SUPL_HOST=supl.google.com
SUPL_PORT=7276
Works ok now.
FasterFix sucks. I agree. Used it on my Sensation and all it did was tank my GPS. WHAT A WASTE!

Hi there.
Question: Custom ROMs not from Canada do not show Canadian only apps such as TD Mobile app (bank app). How does one set the local country so that the Market can detect the proper country?
I recently downloaded Rodrigaz MIUI ROM, and it's really great, except now I can't find my TD Mobile app. I called the bank and said that my phone or phone software is has to be set for Canada. Somehow if I flash my stock ROM it will show Canadian only apps, but some of these ROMs don't.
You're help is appreciated.

I have no problem finding the app using Cyanogen. The Market finds the app based on the fact that I use a Canadian Sim. However the TD app is also protected, which means you won't find it if the fingerprint in your build.prop isn't on Google's white list.
That being said, while you're figuring this out, you can access TD's mobile banking at this URL:
tinyurl.com/tdtouch

Use Market Access.
Well if I use Cyanogen or the Desire HD port, it not only shows the canadian TD app but also shows the prices in canadian funds with a CA symbol. But any MIUI roms don't. I figured it might be a setting in the build.prop that I could change, but I lack the knowledge of locating such property.

Market Access won't let you see protected apps. TD is a protected app.

Try searching for some of the following protected apps:
Fruit Ninja
A Online Radio
Paperdroid Pro
(not sure if they are still protected but they were the last time I checked)
Do you see any of them? If not, your problem is with protected apps, not with location.
In any case, one simple solution to test: Next time you're trying out Cyanogen, make a backup of the build.prop. Rename your MIUI build.prop to build.bak and paste in the one from CM6. Fix the permissions to what they were before. Then reboot and see what you get in the Market.
Thanks for the reply, I searched for these apps and they're there. About the build.prop, wouldn't mixing from another rom have compatibility issues?

It could be a problem, don't know. There's only one way to find out... I say take a nandroid backup of your status quo before making the changes. If it fails to boot you can do a nandroid restore.
Strange that you see protected apps but not TD. The standard method of identifying your country for the Market is usually based on the SIM. Maybe MIUI overrides this.
I tried using Cyanogen's build.prop file today and it still doesn't show the TD mobile app
I'm at a loss.
Okay well at least there's a workaround: install it from Cyanogen, Titanium Backup, and restore that app to MIUI

Oh, you mean adb pull it from there? I can try that.
I thought I'd mention that a lot of Google search results seem to point to a "fingerprint" or "footprint" feature of the software to indicate what region/country, which is what them protected apps seem to look for. Does this sound familiar to anyone?
You may not be able to adb pull the TD app from your CM6 or stock installation as it's a protected app. But when you back up a protected app with Titanium, it transforms it into an unprotected .apk file... if you reinstall it using Titanium from MIUI it will go back into protected space; or you can browse to the folder and manually install the apk, which will install it as an unprotected app.
When i navigate it finds the gps great but it says "getting driving directions" and wont go past this, im running dj05 and 1212 test kernel from jt.
This should probably go in general.
sounds like it's trying to access the internet and can't.
Works fine for me.
Turn off your Wifi if it's on, make sure it launches a data connection. make sure it sees your position with less than 100 meter accuracy in maps before getting directions. If it doesn't, GPS isn't really working and it's going off cellular position etc.
I posted about this in general and didn't get anywhere. I have the exact same problem.
I tried reinstalling, changing kernels, changing dns, even uninstalling then loading a new rom, kernel, dns, and then installing. All with no luck.
It appears to not be able to use the data connection. I say this because just using maps i get up and down arrows on 3g but while "getting directions" neither arrow lights up.
Would love a solution as i love my navigation.

I had this same issue. Maps would work fine and I could get written driving directions but the navigate function would freeze at downloading directions. I wiped my system, installed a different rom, and it works fine now.
Edit: I did not restore maps with titanium, I downloaded it from the market after reinstall.

I've been messing with my Captivate a lot for the past few weeks, rooted and flashed once I got sick of waiting for an update. I've tried most of the major roms out there and am having a great time learning about it all.
I have a problem and would appreciate some advice on the simplest way to solve it. Whenever I try to enter the image gallery, I get a black screen for a few seconds, then it vibrates a few times and kicks back to the home screen and gives me a failure notification. It does this regardless of what rom I'm running so I'm assuming it has something to do with the file structure on the card? If I data reset, will this fix it?
I looked around but didn't see an apparent answer for this specific issue. Thanks
Try this, download sgs tools from market. Goto uodate stock apps select gallery

Hmmm, I downloaded it and it doesn't seem to do that much. I don't see any options like that for sure. What is that program supposed to do?
After I posted I realized the app I referenced is not on the market.
Have you tried deleting app data
settings, applications, manage, all, gallery, delete data

wow, thanks! That did it. I just upgraded the stock app and it's fine now. This app looks really useful, what are some of its other uses?
Secret codes gets you into a bunch of useful things
like lbs test mode for gps
the updated gallery you installed is also supposed to help battery somehow.
I do not use it all too much though, but I keep it around

So after spending hours searching and getting no where fast I am turning to here for hopes of an answer. I am running Serendipity 4.0.1 with the JK4 modem. I have been trying to purchase apps from the Marketplace and I don't know why but, it will not let me buy anything. I have tried many many different things, flashing, clearing the cache, changing modems, going through third party apps and still no luck. I even used the ID changer script with no luck.
Anyone have any ideas at all as to what I can do to enable this feature again? I am still new to this so please take it easy with the abbreviations and terms as I am still learning as I go Thanks again!!
**Update** 1/20/11
Well after tinkering with different settings through the night and much frustration, I actually solved the problem on my own. I managed to locate and correct the server I was connecting to so it said North America. After that got the new app through SGS Tools and did a cache clear (again) and reset set the phone. Much to my surprise, it actually worked
Where did you change that because im having problems...

It sounds like he just used the Clear Market Cache option in SGS Tools.
Should Have been more detailed In my question Where do you change the server name Is what I should of asked. Sgs tools did not work for me.

And just like that its working again lol...
Yeah I finally got it working again through SGS Tools changing to the north america setting and that exactly what happened, It just started to work again.
Hello.
I live in a "sanctioned" Country: Cuba
Meaning that I don't have access to the market, The app just closes itself after a few seconds trying to connect. I gess you know the huge problem this is, would you imagine yourself without access to the market???. Every website I go gives me a barcode linking to the market or says "Just go to the market and ..." and then I just have to smile.
I can get to the market using the browser but the service ask me to log in one time with the app and buy/download at least one app.
This is what I've done to try to workaround the issue.
Setup Proxy: Market App doesn't work with proxy. I think only the browser does.
Installed Market Access apk and/or Market Enabler apk. Any of these are suppose to emulate a different carrier so the market "thinks" I'm in another country. It doesn't work.
Setup VPN. This should hide my IP. VPN connects OK. I get different IP which i Can tell just by opening ipchicken.com. So digitally speaking I'm in california but MARKET is a no go.
Updated vending.apk with the app from a friend's phone and still the same.
Any Ideas?
I had given up a couple of months ago and I was getting everything from mediafire, megaupload etc. But since I joined xda-devs I'm eager to update and test new ROMs and ROM manager is not able to download Clokworkmode Recovery. This is annoying. I know I have some other ways to flash ROMs but I still want to get to the market anyway.
Samsung i897 Captivate Stock 2.1.1 Unlocked and Rooted.
Thanks.
Try installing and using this http://db.tt/ypqbCr8U to spoof the market.

That's what I get for reading/posting at 4:30 in the morning. :/
My best guess would be that american buisnesses are filtering all things cuban. ISPs and wireless providers included. Tough luck bro. get rid of the Castros.apk that should resolve most of your device issues.
You don't need Rom manager to get CWM, not for the captivate. You can drop in any rooted kernal and most of them have CWM available to them.
