Does anyone know of any Galaxy S GT-I9000 ROM with full proxy support?
I've tried DocRom, which has proxy support that only works for the built-in browser and is enabled for both 3G and wifi.
I've also tried the beta Cyanogen ROM, which does appear to have prxy support, but still has issues (it's a beta, after all) and doesn't have Market included.
I've tried for hours trawling google and can't find anything. So, anyone any ideas?
Cheers.

I dont think any such rom is available. . . ryt now .. !! if you happen to find one do post the link .
Found an app on the market, ASProxy (alsubang.github.com/ASProxy/index.html), no reviews available, but claims to enable WiFi proxy support... I was desperate enough, so I decided to be the guinea pig and spend the cash ($3)... and it worked!!!
I think it must be the only solution - I've looked forever on the market and via google. I was expecting to need a new ROM for this feature, but a simple app sorted it out.

Seems to work for everything, at least on my Uni WiFi. There are some issues I don't really understand in the documentation, so some networks may have issues, but not mine.
I have come across a very minor problem. My WiFi connection isn't great and drops occassionally. After it reconnects I have to manually disable and re-enable the proxy service.
There's a free program you might want to try here before you shell out, sounds similar:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=766569
There are several posts here for fixes to get the full Market and I'm one of the unfortunate that none of these fixes work for me. Different roms, countless restarts and FC never worked. I was talking to a friend and he told me to download market enabler. Further digging pointed to me MarketAccess - an updated version without the ads. From what I've heard, Android Market will limit what you can 'see' depending on the service/carrier you have with your cell phone. And since we're on a tablet, that may be why some of us are SOL.
Market Access will trick Android Market into thinking you have a cell phone carrier with your tablet. For example, I chose T-mobile for the U.S. and I now have Kindle and Nook; two apps I couldn't download before.
I'm going to continue testing this and see what else I can get. For now, those were the two I couldn't see and I now have them installed through the Market.
You can find MarketAccess be googling... yes, Market Access. The site should be amip.tools (can't post links yet)
Is this what your talking about?
http://amip.tools-for.net/wiki/android/marketaccess
Are you sure this is safe and legal?
That's it. I didn't see anything that would make this illegal. Do you?

Well not that I see. I would like to here what other members here think of this method though.
I would love to be able to access the full Market too but I am, like you, one whose attempts to fix Market did not work. However, unlike you, even with the fix you led me to, my gtab continues to not be able to see the full Market apps. Bummer. But thanks anyway.

Reggie, Did you try different carriers when running the app? Some apps may be specific to the cell phone service.
Which apps are you looking for anyway?
Yeah this fix didn't really work for me either. Honestly if I need an app badly enough and its not showing I just download to my phone back it up to my dropbox app folder and sideload it right from dropbox on mt g-tab. Works great for me and I have a backup or the app also.
I'm giving it a try and see what it does.

Please excuse this totally noob-like question, but does your phone have to be rooted to do this? I have an unrooted Droid 1 and I'm trying to figure out where the apks live. Also, how do you back up to the drop box?

Hi,
The webpage says:
"MarketAccess, as well as MarketEnabler requires root available on the device. It means than you need to unlock your phone and install the su application which will manage permissions for other apps that want to get root on the device. Google for details."
Jim
I tried this to look for a specific app. Upon further inspection I don't see anything in there using this that wasn't in there using the Market Fix. Am I missing something? For what its worth, I'm looking for Colorize Widgets.
Thanks for your reply Jim. I must have misunderstood. I thought ecatapano's fix avoided using MarketAccess and MarketEnabler by accessing and "drop boxing" apks from an Android phone then sideloading them to the g-tab through drop box. I just don't know how to get the apks from the Droid to the drop box.

I've seen mention of using Astro file manager to backup, which I guess puts the APK on sdcard, then you have to have dropbox installed on your Droid, and you can then send the APK to dropbox.

I installed the market enabler,or whatever its called. I defaulted to t mobile as my carrier. I'm not certain what you are supposed to do for setup after that. So I went back into Market and found Colorize Widgets. I'm not convinced market enabler had any influence though. Any feedback on using market enabler is appreciated.
I tried it, set to tmobile USA. Still can't see
Adobe flash
adobe air
Firefox
tank hero
I couldn't see colorize Widgets after setting similar so I did market fix - clear cache etc. Then could see it, but still not others above.

I didn't get a chance to mess with this last night. It seems like everyone is trying T-Mobile. Has anyone tried different carriers?

What software do you use to video calls?
The only ones I have heard of are Fring, Tango and Yahoo. I think both parties need to be registered with the application for it to work.
Haven't used any of them though
Skype android works like a charm on my phone and worked on my POS pandigital tablet, but again, both parties need the app. Hoping to test it on the Gtab this week.
Reelportal is only thing that will work android to pc. I will post. Apk later,search on xda. You download and install and also install adobe AIR. Then all person on pc has to do is go to reelportal.com on pc. Go to same room,fast and simple. You click on number 10 to enable webcam.trust me,if you want to save alot of time go this route,ive tried it all.

Skype does not have camera settings in present release. Only voice calls are available. Also, not all ROMs support Skype.
Doh..brainfarted on that one. I skype video off my laptop and IPAD2..... My bad. (long week)
However, skype (audio) works fine on the android platform. I use it on my Droid all the time when I'm international. Cuts way down on my phone bill.
Apparently skype is working on a camera enabled android APK specifically for the tablet market, now that most of them have camera's. I wouldn't know about the G-tab though - Tigerdirect screwed me over big time so know I have to go hunt one down while I'm on the road.....grrr...
I pulled qik apk off my tmobile MyTouch 4g and it worked just fine.
I've used Yahoo messenger with video to vid chat with the wife and kids when I travel. No issues at all.
I am trying out reelportalhttp://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=908613&highlight=reelportal and really liking it so far.

I agree with brandonpavo.
The reelportal method is the best method for android to PC/Mac right now (hopefully Skype will get something going soon, and not just for iOS ).
I tested it with both a PC and a MAC on my GTab and it worked perfect!
Now the question is how long it'll be free. (I wonder this since reelportal is posting on xda asking for testers). but until then I will be able to video chat with my wife whenever I'm away.
thanks for the tip!

Thanks for testing it out. I intend to keep ReelPortal free. That's why I even make the server available, so anyone can run their own service. Imagine getting hold of a Skype server software .
My intention is to use ReelPortal as a foundation for developing other software I had in mind, beyond the video conferencing aspect.

Very good to hear. With a little refinement of the UI, I think you have a world-class app. Now that our son and daughter-in-law also have G-tabs, my wife plans to do some video chat with our grandchildren.
Fring is working nicely on latest [CM7][WIP] Honeycomb/CM tablet tweaks - updated 03.04.2011: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1002000
I don't have my gtab yet, but my wife and I used yahoo messenger for PC to phone video calls on her EVO. It worked well, and I plan on trying it out as soon as I get the gtab.

Works fine on the gTab.
Through a lot of searching, trial and error, I finally got Netflix working on my Droid original version. I installed the netflix apk with device checking disabled (you can find it on this forum) and then made just 2 changes to my build.prop file. I set ro.product.model=Droid
and
ro.product.manufacturer=Motorola.
Success!!! So, wondering if I could do the same on my Gtab with Vegan-Tab. Installed the apk, changed the build.prop file and gave it a go.
Almost Success!!! The streaming actually works. I have tried all the other methods and never got the movie to stream. With this one it does.....problem is that it is running way to fast. The audio sounds like it must be 10 times faster than normal.
Another step.....sooner or later I'll find the secret.
If you used the version of the Neflix apk with the device check disabled you shouldn't have had to modify your build prop at all.
I installed it on my Droid X and it ran beautifully without any mods at all.
The device check only gets you as far as allowing the Netflix app to actually load completely. There is further wizardry involved to actually get streaming to occur. I can attest to the fact that I have tried at least 8 modifications of the build.prop file, with the only one allowing streaming to occur being the one that matches my Droid. Honest to goodness and cross my heart.
With disregard for the Netflix apk entirely, does Netflix allow streaming of their media directly from their website? Another words can you simply login to your web based account & access the media there?
I've never used Netflix & have no plans to join, but I figured if I could get the web version of Crackle to work when the Crackle.apk didn't then the same might hold true for Netflix. Of course it doesn't resolve the current problem but at the very least allows one to enjoy streaming until the issue is fixed.

Took the information posted earlier and, what do you know netflix on the droid x combinded with real hdmi lets make it a movie night.

Thought about changing ro.board.platform= from tegra to whatever it is for the Droid. Do you know what is listed in the build.prop? Anyway thought it might be worth a try.
Im seeing the sped up video and sound as well here. Using the pre-packaged netflix apk on CM7 nightly 85.
maybe it's just me but when I went into the market today it said that there were updates available for netflix. I downloaded them and now when I run netflix it takes me to the "login" page instead of saying this device is not compatible.

They released an official update in the Market that doesn't do the device check. I don't know if that means it's wide open now for all android devices or not though for folks that have a Netflix account.

My netflix running on CM7 about 2 days ago was working and now its not apparently because there is a new Netflix Update on the market.
Is there a reason why I can't search the Official Netflix App on the market using my GTAB? My build.prop is already modified to Nexus S. Maybe someone can post the Netflix APK since it is probably detecting my device as not supported.
Same here, using the new app, starts loading, flashes briefly, then back to the queue. Just installed flash 10.3 ,still no go.

Droid-life had a link to the app. I grabbed the one off my phone I grabbed from the market. It didn't work on CM7.02 but I updated to CM7.03 and it works fine. No build.prop edits or anything needed.
Sent from my Viewsonic 10" GTab...CM7 style...
I have installed google+ finding that it is not a far stretch from the web version which is good. One thing to be aware of when you first set up the app it will automatically check a box saying it will automatically download video and photos from your device to google plus, something to be aware of.
I had to go elsewhere on XDA to get the APK file as the market seems to think my tablet is incompatible.
One thing I like about the app is the Public (Nearby) posts from users outside your circles. I can't seem to find that on the web version
Works nicely on the GTAB with the exception of "Nearby" posts from users outside your circle, I'm guessing this is due to the fact that the GTAB doesn't have GPS.
I wonder if there are different versions floating around for different devices.
I pulled the .apk from my Dell Streak, and installed it on the G-Tablet.
It works, with occasional FC's -- especially the first time you try certain features, 100% usable including Nearby working with WiFi location. I don't think the camera works for Huddles/Hangouts.
Different file size and md5 than the .apk in this thread.
My version does not look tablet optimized. What device was the one in this thread pulled from?

That's because, lame as it is, G+ requires a location (is there a little bit of creepiness here?).
Try installing a location spoofer such as "My Fake Location" (I am not endorsing this one but I know it works), set a location and viola! everything should work.
Haven't tried posting from it yet, but location (Via WiFi) Does work.
(Version I copied from my Streak)
If I swipe over to Nearby, it usually, but not always shows my correct location, and picks up public posts.
