Wow, Google is on a roll with the Android Market lately. Since the release of Market v3.0, a number of small updates have come to the Android Market recently, but this is by far the biggest yet. Google has added the long-awaited +1 functionality to the Android Market (which has been on the web version of the Market for quite some time), along with a few other goodies.
There's a brand-new settings menu, as well as click-to-read explanations of app permissions (not developer customizable, unfortunately). There's also a brand-new Market icon to spruce things up a bit, which you can see most clearly in the Settings menu. For convenience's sake, the size in megabytes of each app, along with its latest update date, have been moved from the bottom of descriptions to the top of individual app pages, which is a very useful change in our book.
Oh, and did we mention you can now use an optional custom PIN for purchases on your phone, instead of leaving your Google Checkout wide open for anyone that picks up your device? If you have kids, or your phone is stolen, this is one awesome feature to have - and really, it makes a lot of sense.

Hopefully this fixes our market woes!
I think I'll lay back a while and let someone else tale point on this. I was burned being and "early adopter" on the last "new" market and I wound up going back to the "old" market, freezing updater and looking for updates manually with AppBrain.
If this works well for others, then I'll try again. All you "red-shirts" fan out and set phasers to "stun".
Downloading now. I'll post with any updates.
No go this is what I got.

Aye aye captain!
Going to try it soon momentarily....
So far, so good. It's so BIG! Not the file size, but the layout.
The "my apps" page is definately different. I just hope it stays put without clearing data.
Still blocking the same apps as before. Back to the old market I go!

I haven't used the new market yet; ill let it update on its own. However, I'm still with a flawless market 3.0.27 after 6 days now, with dpi at 240.
So the question bears asking: why are we (or at least I) fully compatible at 240 and not at 160? What are we missing? Is it a gingerbread thing? Is there an artifact from B&N or froyo hiding somewhere? Is it a CM7 thing?
SOMETHING makes the market think we must operate at 240. Setting 160 seems to confuse it at least until it updates its data, but it is definitely not confused about 240.
So again, my question: why? It makes me wish I knew more about android.
Challenge to anyone: list an app that isn't showing up for you at 160, I bet I can see and install any of them. Would just be further demonstration that market believes we ought to be at 240.
Edit: no I'm not saying we should all switch to 240. Personally I dislike the larger icons. I am saying that maybe we need to find a way to trick the market into seeing 240, while keeping our devices at 160.
Tried Market, Questions about new build.
I tried the new market on my G2 and hated certain elements. Do they still have games mixed in with apps (and its own folder)? If Google finds a way to sort that (like the old market) and perhaps allow users the ability to hide tabs like movies or books, I'd try it again on nook.

Day 7 240 just crashed for me. com.android.vending has stopped unexpectedly.
Haven't tried on my nook yet but it fixed all my alignment issues on my phone. Too soon to see if it fixed any of my other issues.
Oh well. Running at 160, "my apps" is a blank screen over 1 night. Guess I'll be clearing cache to use the market still. Not really that big of a deal, but it would be nice not having to do this one extra step.
edit: clearing data
I loaded the 'new' last eve, everything seemed ok, but this morning, my apps are blank again. I have dpi 160.
Can you install Repligo Reader?

OK... when this post first came out I manually installed market 3.1.3 from OP... after trying many combinations I finally came up with the following work around... I have not lost anything in market SO FAR... If this continues to work I will include the additional build.prop edits as a feature of my IMEI Generator.
The following are my ONLY build.prop edits:
Code:
(added at [b]TOP OF build.prop[/b] from IMEI Generator via my !IMEIme.ini):
ro.product.manufacturer=Samsung
ro.product.device=GalaxyS
ro.product.model=SCH-I500
(manually added at [b]END OF build.prop[/b]):
ro.sf.lcd_density=240
ro.sf.lcd_density.xdpi=240
ro.sf.lcd_density.ydpi=240
With these edits... my market is working normally for now AND LCD Density still shows my density set at 161.
More to come one way or another.

Dizzy, can you provide more insight into what you're hoping to accomplish? Did you comment out the qemu line so it doesn't override your following ro. lines during runtime (which as I understand is what the qemu line is supposed to do)?

Nice find. Great app.
I keep searching but can't find this app on the market through my phone. As I live in Malaysia, I'm wondering if it is restricted to certain countries only? Is anyone else in other countries having problems finding it in the market?
While on that topic, does anyone know how the market identifies which country you are in? Via Geo-IP? or the installed SIM card? Is there a way to bypass this and download the .apks ?

i search and cant find.. not even on cyrket...since its linked i think its linked directly with the market
yes, im guessing its GeoIP bull crap ...(i really really hate that, being that im a native english speaker not living in the UK or the US, (living in panama) and endup getting all pages loading in spanish)
either way, setting a proxy "might help" i want this app just did not have the time today to test out setting up an http proxy on the phone (accessed option through anycut shortct) but it did not work.. so im guessing setting up a proxy on your router "might" work thats if u use a usa proxy.
i might just wait till someone downloads and posts the apk file here
The only thing I noticed is that its kinda quiet... Anyone else come to this conclusion? I have my phone volume & media volume at 100%. Other than that, its an awesome app!
Was waiting for Pandora but I have an account for both so it works for me

and searching last <space> fm in the market does not bring anythign up for you either??
once i get time im going to try and hook the phone through a usa proxy from one of my servers and see if the market brings up more apps
I had the same problem, then I saw it on the list of featured apps and I downloaded it. Strange I know. Just try to refresh the list of featured apps until you get it, it might solve your problem for now. I do not reside in the US, so It might not be a location issue, unless the featured app is an oversight!

thanks for the tip, will try, still hasn't popped up for me on the featured apps, though the market must be filtering applications based on geo location
though now we know the featured apps is exempt from that filter (for now)
hehe ... it appeared on Featured Apps in the browser and I quickly grabbed it. Playing fine now.
Could someone attach the APK?
Could someone attach the APK?
I grabbed mine from the Featured items as well. Why the heck does the search not work for some apps? MyMaps was the same.
I love this app. A lot.
Only down side: there is no exit option. and my task manager app wont kill it either.
other than that it is awesome.

This is actually a characteristic of Android and not the Last.fm app in particular. Android (as well as some other embedded operating systems) is designed so that app lifecycles are managed by the os, not the user. Working as intended.
jashu - Yes, I know that android will monitor apps and close ones that are not used for a long time, I actually like that. What I mean is that the last time I used the app was Friday when I was at work, came home, left my msg here and today (Sunday) the app is still running. I do not have it playing anything, it is not looking at my catalog/library or anything else. When I use the task manager app to close it, it pops back up.
On the imeem app there is an option to logout. When you logout it closes the app as well - internally to the app, not Android closing it. So I think this can be written into the Last.FM app as well, yes?
Not a ding against the app, just something to be aware of.
wergeld
Hey,
I also can't find the app in the market (german provider with an uk RC8 JF1.41 phone). So can someone please post the .apk somewhere?
there is an update for the last.fm client
think it scrobbles now
but.......
i cant update it... so i guess i have to look for it on featured apps again, then re-download...
the app seeps not to show up on wifi , and on some providers on data plan
let us know if ur able to snag the updated file
Last FM apk
lol i jsut came back to edit
was able to snag the update file...
thnx anywayz !!
Ok, this was my first app on the market. Basically it's a window that lets you enter a search term and select a search or just a URL and it will open a browser to that page.
So far I have:
Google
Google Images
Google Maps (Uses Maps app)
Wikipedia
IMDB
Amazon
Ebay
Android Market
(Youtube coming soon)
If you have any other search suggestions, please post them. I will be happy to add them!
Check out the app on the market! I have a free version and a donate version for $1.43 (So I get a buck). It's rated 5/5 so far (I'm quite pleased)
I find myself using this app more than any others
Many have asked for an On Screen Keyboard, and I've been researching it, but I don't really know how to make one. If you have any tips regarding that, that would be awesome.
Anyways, enjoy the app!
UPDATE: Custom searches added.
Very nice, very useful indeed! I have always been a bit annoyed by having to start the browser up and go to the site I want to search and wait for it to download and render before I can perform my search. Can take 10, 15, 30 seconds before I even submit my search. This makes it so much easier!
Great app, man. Thank you!
A suggestion for improvement would be for the users to be able to add "custom" search strings. I frequent a bunch of sites that are too obscure for you to add to your app, so an option for me to add my own search string would be great.
Say I want to add a custom site, like blocket.se (a Swedish classified advertising site) and I know the formatting for a search on that site is http://www.blocket.se/li?q=<search_string>
Now let's replace the string we enter in the text field with an operator, like %s :
http://www.blocket.se/li?q=%s
Which would perform a search of that particular site. When adding a custom site we would need the following dialog.
Name: [____________] <-- Where we enter the name of the custom search
String: [____________] <-- The formatted URL
[Save] [Cancel]
Sorry for unloading this on you, I do realize a feature like this won't just happen by itself, it takes many hours of coding to make it happen. Feel free to tell me to bugger off if it's just not something you feel is right for this app.
Cheers!
No, I actually think that's a fantastic idea. Right now the search drop down is just a static array of names and the urls are hard coded in. Unfortunately, sharedpreferences doesn't support arrays so unlimited custom searches might not work, but I could let users put in 3 or so. I'll get on it over the weekend. Sorry for thinking out loud haha.
And I'm glad you like it
Maybe custom searches would be a good feature just for people with the donate version?

Three custom ones would be great too, no doubt! Thinking out loud is a great way of giving an idea some structure, and if you in addition to that can bounce an idea off a couple of other people it usually turns out great. A bit of brainstorming.
I would definitely pay a few bucks for custom search strings. Unfortunately I can't access paid apps yet, probably because I'm on a dev phone and in the wrong country. I could drop a few bucks off on your paypal account though, if you have one.
Have you put the free one on the market yet? I don't see it posted, only your paid version. Not that I won't pay for it, I'd just rather check it out before purchasing
I would like to try it out too, and since I don't have a Google Checkout, I can't. I would rather donate by Paypal if you have an account.
The free version is on the market as well (it's a bit older). Just search Go To Url. If you do feel like donating, there's a button on my website(www.nickkarstedt.com) that has a paypal donate button.
Answers.com would be nice as well.
Good thinking.
Ok, just updated the donate version this weekend. I added search history (Works like the browser's history, but is stored seperately. You can disable and clear it).
Now for the big feature: Custom searches.
You can now add and delete as many custom searches as you want. You can even delete the default custom searches (so you can reorder them).
I'm going to add the option to move searches up and down on the list for the next version. Until then, you'd have to delete and add.
Loving it!
The search string is always added to the end of the URL we enter (when we add a custom search)? Nineteen out of twenty times this is not a problem, but on some sites the formatting of the URL is a bit different and the search string is not placed at the end of the URL but rather in the middle of it.
Still, I love this app. Makes searching so much easier when you don't have to wait for websites to load/render.
**Edit: One thing I have noticed is that if you open the app up in portrait mode, select a search in the list and then switch to landscape, you have to select which site to search again (it defaults back to "Go To URL!" mode). Not a big problem, just something I noticed just a minute ago for the first time
Many have asked for an On Screen Keyboard, and I've been researching it, but I don't really know how to make one. If you have any tips regarding that, that would be awesome.

Yeah. I really shouldn't try to appeal to whiners... but I need more stars! (And cash! Cash is always nice!)
I notice you're using a generic Windows Run icon for your app. Not sure if you're interested, but I made a dedicated "Go To Url" icon (mostly because it goes better with my theme), which you are free to use should you want to. Either way, here it is.

Awesome! I could use that one for the paid version, looks very spiffy.
Also, I think what I'm going to do now with free/donate versions is just keep the free version a release or two behind the donate version, just so those who pay get it a few days/a week earlier. I don't like the idea of limiting functionality.
Got that free users? You'll get your custom searches and history soon enough.
All I'm working on right now is changing the custom urls to use %s instead of %url% + search term. If you guys have any more suggestions, lets hear em!
Is the "nag screen" asking you to go to the market supposed to show up every time I start the app? It says "THIS MESSAGE WILL ONLY BE DISPLAYED ONCE" but I get it every time I start it. And I alreday have Blocked! installed
Ah! That's what I asked you about in the PM! I updated it on the market, I'll send you a copy of the fixed version since you can't update.

Its buggy on doughnut, but the market post says thats being worked on.
Fix that and add a couple of things from Loccys build (hide notification and multi-touch) and i would switch
Smooth on my side (cm 4.1.999), great browser. Especially the gesture recognition! And the tabs ... wow
But missing MT!
I can't figure out how to work the zoom on this otherwise amazing browser. Hints anyone?
alexnick: Long press on the page itself, you'll get something similar to Steel browser ^^, with the zoom in and out buttons.
I like how it caches pages and allows you freely move among pages without having to reload them when opening the next window/tab, unlike the default browser. IMO this is really the better browser for a G1 due to the lower memory capacity than the other newer android phones. Unless of course you are rooted, then either way it is still a great browser. I have uninstalled steel because I no longer need it. RSS ability makes this a killer app.
Does anyone know if Mozilla Firefox will be releasing web browser for android?
wow...with integrated GBookmarks and GTasks!
Really a cool app.
The best "aftermarket" browser yet...great work!

Hide notification is an option when pressing the menu button - which I LOVE because it is easy to turn on/off!
I really LIKE this browser - much faster on my phone the Loccy's/Stock!
Yeah he added full screen with the latest build.
I must admit I have switched from Loccys superb browser to this, just due to the fact it has full screen. I love Loccys build but that extra little bit at the top just makes the difference to me (I know its a small difference, but there you go)
Not convinced on the gestures, but you cat have everything.
amazing browser bro! Great job!
just downloaded latest version with lots of new features and all i can say is WOW
I just tried installing this from the market, and it completely messed up my phone. It started by forcing my phone to reboot before it could install all the way. It then continued to force close whenever I tried to open it. Then my stock browser wouldn't open without a fc. Then core processes started force closing every ten seconds, preventing me from obtaining any information from log collector. I've uninstalled and rebooted to try and fix the issue, but none of it changes.
I also noticed that I can't access some of my apps anymore after trying to install this. I haven't seen anyone else leaving comments about this issue, what is wrong with my phone? I'd really like to try this browser, especially for the supposed multitouch support for cyanogenmod roms. Can everyone else install and use the Dolphin browser just fine?

I actually did do that sometime in between reboots, without knowing what it actually does. I didn't notice any change though. I tried repairing the ext filesystem, then fix apk uid mismatches, then updated to the most recent CM rom and fixed permissions.
My phone still refuses to run the app. I don't feel like formatting just to have this browser, but I don't want to have this problem for other apps in the future... so I'm going to format anyway.
I'm running C< 4.2.3.1 and I just installed this from the market and it would not open at all, it kept force closing, it also caused the normal browser to force close, even after uninstalling the browser would crash, things didn't go back to normal until I rebooted

one word: perfect.
although i gotta admit that i am really looking forward to see other rendering engines (fennec, opera) ported to android

I got tired of running market enabler after every boot This build sets phone to US T-Mobile - you'll see all apps (including pay) for this resolution.
Nice work buddy.
PS. Are you from Canada? Maybe even Toronto?
The reason I ask is I see "The Hip" playing and I know they are big there. Having lived there for 21 years .
The base file is corrupted

Vancouver! nice. I'm in Victoria. Love The Hip.
Reuploaded and tested base.
i'm not sure I believe that market enabler actually does anything to the missing market apps for donut and above anymore. why?
1. after booting 320x480, getting full market, then going to 240x320 and using market enabler religiously, after 4-5 days my market still reverts back to having missing apps.
2. after booting a data.img at 240x320, I ran market enabler before entering my google account stuff. missing market apps still missing (paid apps yes, but no pandora, no google listen, no pdanet, no weather channel etc etc).
but i'm willing to be a believer. i'm going to fire this up in 240x320 with a brand spanking new data file and see what rolls. I think we need to find a way to fake resolution to google to avoid missing apps, as the market enabler/t-mobile footprint thing seems to only work for paid apps. waiting to stand corrected though . . . will post back.

This build won't show you the apps for different resolutions - just gives you the full market (as market enabler would) for 320 x 240; I'll have to correct the wording to avoid confusion.

love the build, fast as usual. I see you are feeling lcd.density of 113, I like it. love the animations as well. yeah, to me "full market" means everything - only way to get that, it seems, is booting a fresh data file at 320x480. I should work on a fix for that . . .
absolutely love it! same stable build as last time, updated. With bluetooth and fully functional gps, there is really not much more that I could ask for! For my phone and my use, this build is far and away the fastest out there, very smooth. Everything just fits right on the screen too. Nothing fancy but 100% usable.
Love that you have paid apps enabled by default too.
Tatnai, you figure out how to fix the market / resolution issue and I don't think there is a single thing left we can complain about...as small of an annoyance as it is.
Thanks Plemen! great work as usual
i´ve installed this version to my polaris and it runs very nice and fast. thanks!
just a few things i noticed:
- data connection works
- camera works
- wifi doesn´t work
- market doesn´t work (always getting a server error message)
- coundn´t test bluetooth yet
wifi not working is a big issue for me since i don´t have a data-plan. hope this gets fixed in the future

I'm not sure what enabling wifi for the polaris entails - I only have a vogue but if somebody sends me the info I'll add an update and add it to the first post.
Any body got google voice to work on this build?
Mine installed fine, but then keep force closing.

getting that too. going to try clearing my dalvik cache again and re-installing, I wonder if the new footprint has anything to do with it? if what I'm doing now doesn't work, I may try replacing the build.prop with another footprint, will post back.
EDIT 1: ok, i pulled myns build.prop and dumped it in, google voice works again. I don't know if it is the carrier settings (could be) or maybe the lcd.density (don't think so, unlikely but I guess possible; I know I've used 113 before and I don't recall it causing a problem). I've got to go to bed (my wife's about to kill me) so I can't test anymore. Someone should try google voice with myns build.prop changed to 113, and with plemen's changed to 110. I'll assume that plemen's is going to still force close at 110 cause I think it may be the carrier settings. then we'll need to figure out which setting in particular.

Hi,
I just did the additional market fix, adding the Samsung fingerprint to build.prop, and now I can see tv.com, whereas before I couldn't, but I still can't see Splashtop.
I used the following fingerprint in build.prop:
ro.build.fingerprint=samsung/SGH-T849/SGH-T849/SGH-T849:2.2/FROYO/UVJJB:user/release-keys
Can you check in /system/build.prop (it's a text file) and see what the "ro.build.fingerprint..." parameter is, and if it's different from the above, post it?
Thanks,
Jim
P.S. FYI, I'm on stock TNT 3452...
From my build.prop...
# ro.build.fingerprint=nvidia/harmony/harmony/harmony:2.2/FRF91/20101123.172729:eng/test-keys
ro.build.fingerprint=google/passion/passion/mahimahi:2.2/FRF91/43546:user/release-keys
Again, I'm on Vegan b5.
Also, I've played around a bit w/ this file getting swype to install so it's probably not the default build.prop for my version of Vegan.
Hope this helps
Another question
I guess that I should have also asked: Has anyone used this on Android?
The reason I'm interested in it is that I want to be able to watch Netflix on my Gtab, and was hoping this would work for the audio and video. However, when I looked on their website, the Android version is "1.0", but they also say in another document that "1.1.1.1" is needed for audio.
So, has anyone used this on their Gtab, and can you stream audio and video with it?
Thanks,
Jim

FYI the version in the market is 1.0.0.3
I wonder if this is any better than Pocket Cloud which is what I use. It works fine but I can't seem to get a decent screen size. I had the same problem with VNC.

Hi,
I still don't see it in market, even after using your fingerprint in build.prop ...
I've been testing pocketcloud also, but I think only the paid version does audio/video, so I haven't been able to test that yet. Have you tried that (audio/video streaming) via pocketcloud?
Also, are you using the paid or free version? Can you explain what you meant about decent screen size? I tried it against a Win7 machine, and it seemed to work ok.
Jim
Sorry you're having problems.
I've got the free version of pocket cloud and to be honest, never used it for streaming. I just use it to access my desktop (W7 64) when I need to check on a download or something I've got running on it. I usually RDP into it from my laptop and would love to be able to do the same with my Gtab.
Regarding screen size, what I mean is that the only options for me are 1.) a floating full size screen, or 2.) a full screen that only takes up about 3/4 of the Gtab screen. I'm not sure if this is a limitation of the free version, but I had the same problem with VNC and I tried the pro version of that as well. I can still get the job done with either, it's just not optimal for me. I'm pretty sure that I'm just doing something wrong or have a setting wrong, but it's really no big deal.
As for streaming, I've had the most success with Cifs Manager. Works like a champ for every video file I've tried to play using either ArcMedia or Rockplayer. Or should I say every file I've proven to work via the internal SDcard. 1080p files stutter over the network but they also stutter when played directly from the tab. I just mount my media folder in Cifs and every app treats it a just another folder on my tab.

Hi,
I just tried Netflix using pocketcloud (free), and I think that that wouldn't work. It looks like Silverlight won't run via RDP. So, I guess that even if the paid version of pocketcloud was able to stream audio, it wouldn't work for what I was looking for (Netflix).
Hopefully someone will be able to suggest something for getting Splashtop, and then I'll see if that'll work.
Re. thanks for the clarification. I guess I just use the floating configuration myself.
Jim
Hi,
I tried the market fix and with the two different fingerprints in build.prop, with both the old Vending.apk and the new Vending.apk, and I still can't get Splashtop to appear in the Market.
I'm thinking that even though I changed the fingerprint, it's not picking up the new one, and maybe I need to somehow get Market back to the point that I get to enter my email address, etc., but does anyone know how to do that?
Thanks,
Jim
http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/Android Market/thread?tid=72687bc93eba9a1b&hl=en
I found the above. In a post from nprussell, he says that besides the fingerprint in build.prop, /system/etc/permissions can stop apps from appearing.
Can someone who has Vegan check /system/etc/permissions, and post what files are there?
Jim
I just did a factory reset, then replaced the build.prop before installing market, and Splashtop is STILL not appearing !
Does anyone knowvehy sit-down appear in market on Vegan, but not on stock 3452?
Jim
I also found another fingerprint line for Droid, and tried that in build.prop, but still can't see Splashtop. Also can't see things like Tank Hero, etc.
Does anyone have any ideas? I'm kind of thinking that it's something other than the build.prop fingerprint ...
Jim
I also just tried one more thing: I created an emulator and added Market to it. But, it's still showing exactly the same thing, no Splashtop and no Tank Hero ...
Jim
Jim, it's gotta be something in your ROM that's preventing these apps from appearing. I was able to find Tank Hero and Tank Hero Beta.
I've got 11 .xml files in my permissions folder. Looked thru a few of them but I really don't know what to look for.
Here's my permissions folder. (sorry, too lazy to figure out screenshots w/ adb)
PM me if you'd like a copy of any of them.

Hi,
Thanks for the followup.
I'll have to take a look at those, but I think I had less than the 11 you have.
I'm starting to think that it may be time to get off stock TNT and try Vegan ...
Will post back or PM you.
Thanks again,

Hi,
So here's what I have in permissions:
$ ls -l
ls -l
-rw-r--r-- root root 180 2010-09-13 11:58 com.google.android.maps.xml
-rw-r--r-- root root 862 2010-10-08 10:01 android.hardware.touchscreen.multitouch.xml
-rw-r--r-- root root 171 2010-10-17 11:39 com.nvidia.graphics.xml
-rw-r--r-- root root 810 2010-10-08 10:01 android.hardware.camera.xml
-rw-r--r-- root root 486 2010-10-20 20:31 gdata.xml
-rw-r--r-- root root 169 2010-10-17 11:39 com.nvidia.display.xml
-rw-r--r-- root root 8188 2010-09-13 11:58 platform.xml
-rw-r--r-- root root 827 2011-01-07 14:34 features.xml
$
I noticed that you don't have a gdata.xml. Here's the contents on my system:
$ cat gdata.xml
cat gdata.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<permissions>
<library name="com.google.gdata.contacts"
file="/system/framework/gdata-contacts-3.0.jar"/>

file="/system/framework/gdata-core-1.0.jar"/>
<library name="com.google.collect"
file="/system/framework/google-collect-1.0-rc1.jar"/>
</permissions>
I wonder if that might be something?
On my emulator, there's only a single XML file, platform.xml.
Hmmm...

Tony,
I've been comparing your permissions vs. mine, and also just found this:
http://developer.android.com/guide/appendix/market-filters.html
Question (and you may or not answer - up to you): Are you in the U.S.? Just wondering because that page mentions that market filters on location, and I'm trying to narrow down the possibilities.
It looks like the XML files in permissions that I don't have are:
android.hardware.camera.autofocus
android.hardware.sensor.accelerometer
android.hardware.wifi
handheld.core_hardware
I'm assuming that you have the accelerometer XML because Vegan has the gsensor fix. Not sure about the others though.
There are also size differences in a couple of the XML files (yours vs. mine).
Can you PM me those 4 files above?
Thanks,
Jim
