market app is missing in my Tattoo

market app is not available in my htc tattoo phone, as i did some search it seems it is related to region issue so its been removed.
now if it is either removed or blocked(meaning hidden or inaccessible):
- if it is hidden or inaccessible, isnt it possible to make it accessible as long as we are able to root the phone and have a power user permission on the phone?
- if it is not removed or not installed, is it possible to install it?
some guy in one post suggested to extract files from one htc tattoo rom (as in this post) and get the market.apk and install it using htc sync, but actually as i extracted the system.img, i couldnt find the market.apk file, any idea where can i get it?

The file is called Vending.apk and is located in /system/app.
I recommend to root your phone(if not yet done) and install a patched one, just take a look at some of the threads in the dev-forum.

Sorry for my bad english !
You have flashing your tattoo ?

If you dont have flashing your tattoo test this :
Uncompressed the Zip file of Googlle Apps
Find the folders with APK File.

Rooted device can not see "copy protected" android applications

Hello,
I'm running leaked version of 2.2 but apparently issue with any device which is rooted. I'm trying to get "Good for Enterprise" and market does not show it's as avaialble. Good support confirmed that they turned on "copy protection" on their application published to market. here is part of what SDK says
"Forward-Locked Applications
To forward lock an application, set copy protection to "On" when you upload the application to Market. Market will not show copy-protected applications on developer devices or unreleased devices."
Anybody has any idea how to circumvent this?

This was in the known issues thread on the first page of the forum, it should resolve the issue by tricking the market into thinking you are running JH7, a released firmware.

Fastest way it to use the build.prop file located in this post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...&postcount=4341. Download and unzip the file.
2. Then using rootexplorer on the phone or on your PC with droid explorer, replace the one in your /system folder.
3. Reboot your phone
If you want to edit the file yourself:
1. Use rootexplorer or droid explorer, navigate to /system and look for the build.prop file.
2. Copy it to your sdcard or copmputer.
3. Mount your usb drive,
4. Locate the file on your sdcard, then right click it and select open with
5. Select notepad;
6. add the # to the current fingerprint and add the new fingerprint line
7. Then using rootexplorer on the phone or on your PC with droid explorer, replace the one in your /system folder.

Thanks. That did it.

Great to hear, that is why among many other reasons this place rocks.

Here is correct link for build.prop if somebody needs it http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=8417664&postcount=434

MIUI Desire
hey guys,
I tried your fix to a HTC Desire with MIUI XJ Custom rom and it hasnt worked so far...i think there's a lot more to be changed in this build.prop file than just the fingerprint line.
but thanks for the tip of where to start...
if you know anything else please let me know...
cheers

[SOLVED]Medscape App. Help needed!!

Im a medical student and I really would love to be able to use the newly available Android Medscape app (free from the market) on my phone.
Unfortunately, it says in description of the app that it may have problems with "rooted" phones. Im assuming it means our HD2's running android on NAND as well, because after installing the App on my phone, I am unable to update/download the Clinical reference data required for the app to work offline.
It gives the error "Internet connectivity was interrupted..Please try again"
Any help from the developers or anyone else would be very greatly appreciated

Looking at the description and the error you gave, have you tried disabling any ad-blocking software? It may be something cooked into the ROM - if so, try asking the dev how to disable it. DLing now - i'll post back what I find.
.............................
EDIT:
Ok, having found this question asked on the thread for the ROM I use, you can remove medscape from the adblock 'hosts' list. (find it in \system\etc).
Original Post URL: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=11521445&highlight=block#post11521445
I had to copy the file to PC before editing and copied back again using droidexplorer.

Thanks for the reply. I forgot to mention the ROM im using. Its Core Droid DHD 1.5, and it seems you may be right. It says in the description of the ROM that the "Adds are Blocked (Host files modified)". Is there any way to reverse this host file change?

Fixed it with the help of the developer of the Core Droid ROM. Just opened the app "Add free" and hit "revert". Restored the original host file. Medscape works now.

im having the same issue and clicking the "revert" bottom on AdFree did not fix it

I have uninstalled AdFree and have the same problem all the time. Anybody fixed this?

i had the same problem!
After i revert the hosts file in ad-free, medscape did not update the reference!
So what i did:
I did not unistall ad-free, but:
- i revert the host file 3 times in a row;
- i stopped the access of AD Free from SuperUser (root access);
- and i restart medscape (i killed the process with automatic task killer) and start it again;
- and voila, my htc g1 is updating the reference while i text.
(i don't know what are the steps that make medscape update, but i guess, is the revert host file and restart the app, to it starts didn't knowing that can't access that host to update)
I hope this help you!
Good luck

It works for me, reverted host files, stopped Adfree acces to Superuser and voila!! Medscape is updating again. Thanx

how to correct medscape installation please?thx\

SOLVED!
Just got an OTA update for my flyer and software got updated to version 2.27.1540.32
The android version is 2.2.4 while sense is 1.0
Just for the record, AdFree only works on ROOTED devices. i mentioned in another thread on xda that adfree does not work for me. with this OTA update, my Medscape is finally installing as i type this - - -

Just kill the AdFree app and immediately run Medscape app,it'll definitely take the update.I did the same and it worked

i try looking for file in \system\etc
in use editor to open file host.. thera are a lot of files,
and it make me confuse, where the file "medscape from the adblock 'hosts' list" is ???

Hi everyone!
Well, I've experienced the same "connectivity error" as everyone with a root cellphone, after reinstalling medscape app at my cell. I never had AdFree, and even though I'm able to found the hosts file and take a look of it with my pc it says absolutely nothing about medscape (only 127.0.0.1 localhost and emptyness after), so I guess I must be getting the wrong file or not accesing to it correctly?
I've tried everything you said, but is still not working.
I'm pretty new with android, and I would really aprecciate you help, given the fact that this is one of my favorities app!

How to install apps from computer?

Is there anyway to download and install games/apps from the computer? Can I go into CWM - Mount USB - and then create a folder in my Gtablet and put all my apk files in that folder and then somehow install them once booted into my tablet?
I have never used android before so please forgive my ignorance... I just just flashed Clock Work Mod via NVFlash so I am still learning. I would like to install PSX4Droid and Final Fantasy 7 among other games.
Thank you for your time.

if they are android files (which, by apk, I assume they are), then yes. Just put them in a folder, use a file explorer to browse to them and open them, and they should install. Of course, installing is no guarantee that they will work on the gTab.
Also note that if you load an app that does not appear in your market, you will not be able to get updates to the app via the market.

You should have a folder called download in the root, use that for consistency.
However, I have found the easiest way is to email them to yourself at the gmail address you use on the tab.
The regular gmail reader provides for installing the APK from inside the message (just click Install!).
Works every time.
(Plus this gives you a backup copy of the app to install from anywhere you have web.)

The easiest way is to place them on a usb flash drive & use a file explorer (i.e root explorer) to install them.

I also want to mention that the new web-based Market will install the programs onto the tab for you when you click to install them from the PC.
No muss, no fuss. I was pretty surprised when I discovered it accidentally.

iGo on Droid3 - how to use the full screen resolution? - which .apk do you use?

My iGo is not able to use full screen and there is no option in settings to change it - is there somewhere another Droid3 user who has resolved it? My search showed me unsuccesfull attempts of others so forth...

not exactly - at least in my case: did already try that, iGo seems to be installed, but then it refuses to start complaining about "data.gro" which is (do I understand well?) skin. Link to last version is dead, so I dnloaded an older one... iGo started to start and now it kust keeps starting... what to do next? (I went through all sort of uninstalls, deleting iGo folders etc. as recommended there...)

I haven't deleted nothing just uninstalled the old version of igo, and copied the folder included, data.gro is provided from a different download and is depending on the resolution, just download the right one.

thanks for your support. I have basically done the same, but no success: Here is what I went through so forth:
started here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1231208&highlight=data.gro
- download gives you an app, but there is no skin.
- an actual skin that the app expects has broken link
- there is a link to dnload an older version of the skin...which does not work. it ends up at "starting".
- there is an alternative skin - does not work either, wrong resolution - but you can google further...so:
-been here: http://forum.mobilism.org/viewtopic.php?f=709&t=200218 the same skin, but good resolution...unfortunately only welcome screen turnes on and that is pretty much it
could you please link here the actual mariupols skin that IS working on droid3?

does not work for me (on XT860) although it should - your link refers to an archive I already tried out....
So lets go through all the steps again:
1. Manage applications - uninstall iGo
2. Copy the content of the archive
3. copy luboszs iGo.apk someplace
4. run it.
I have done all of it, but still stuck up - what am I doing wrong?

Your igo files are on the external sdcard or on the internal storage ?
I choose the latter option, because the non standard mount point name of the sdcard.
So, if you have the files on the SD either copy them to the internal storage or add the sdcard-ext path to the configuration file, before the apk installation. (this one is untested by me but should work)

I did already have iGo files on the internal storage (i.e. /sdcard).
Maybe luboszs Thin 1.7 iGo does not like some of files I got there from the previous install - despite the fact I have overvritten them (is it normal behavior for Root Explorer not to ask to overwrite?)....just in case - would it be possible for somebody to post the whole functional package (w/o maps,of course)?

It did not work. So I cleaned iGO folder up and copied once more...which brought me the following message: process com.navngo.igo.javaclient cannot continue...is there something else iGO needs to run properly? Something I have to install?
