Why is that download so damn slow?
Mediafire is a real good Hoster to download directly to my cellphone, but for now, it downloads only with 5kb/s . Just boring :S
I hope this Version works for me, until it's down in 6 Minutes^^
EDIT: Does not work :/

are u running 2.2+ android ?
honestly I'm running CM6.1 final with 2708 kernel/hack
I never tried installing manually and created the flashable update and it worked like a charm on CM6.1 Final 2708
It simply replace Vending.apk to the newest version and chmod 644 /system/app/Vending.apk also...
You do need a recovery that accept test-keys AKA rooted & unlocked BUT why aren't rooted yet ?

Thank you
This looks great. No problems I just flashed and it works great!

I got this to work by going into "Titanium Backup" and on the MARKET app, chose the wipe data button, then un-installed the old version of "Market".
Then I rebooted and ran the update.zip and it worked!
Hope this works for you!

I did even release a 2.3 sdk port to G1 since so much ppl were kindly asking for it
Nothing worth a mention IMO lol
I'm gonna give a few of my spare time to G1 dev <3 paste your adb logcat on pastebin so I can check
That would really help

ok it didnt work for me...im using mytouch 3g...it flashed but the market says loading then goes white...i didnt nand (noob move) but i know froyo will just reinstall all the apps but i dont feel like going through all that.
does anyone have a flashable version of the froyo market so i wont have to wipe? thanx in advance

I'm wondering how to flash this onto a phone o.o
I'm new to the flashing, rooting etc stuff ><
Edit : Continued searching and found out it has to do with recovery mode. Just cant figure out how to switch to recovery on galaxy 3

Did a nand backup, flashed the zip, rebooted, FC on Market before even launching, launched Market and a white screen. Restored from nand to get back up. Running OTA 2.2 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=811620)
Any ideas? Manual installation via ADB?

To save you the trouble of putting the adb method , you can refer to my post .
It does the same thing but manually and its working for sure (Eclairs and Froyo ) : )

Cheers !

I just got this OTA update for market. I just backed up my old market, then installed this from the SD like a regular app. I didn't have any problems or need special permissions. Maybe someone could try this if they're having problems with the flashable or adb.

Two threads?
Ok so someone else started a thread for this in the development section which I thought to be weird, just wanted you to know, here is the thread. Personally I would rather just have one, yours : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=872526

did exactly what he did here, nd works like a charm

is this flashable to sd card? I have cyanogen 6.1.0 android 2.2(froyo). Its probably a dumb question. But I'm asking this because theres another thread which indicated on his post that he didn't make his flashable. And its similar to this except that one runs on adb. So I'm wondering if this is flashable?

same rom..same problem
even doing adb doesnt work

Okay. So i have my g1 rooted. With froyo 2.2 cyanogen 6.1 ROM. As you may know, it doesn't come with google apps. So market isn't available. I've been looking all over the web. Trying each and everyone's market.apk and market.zip . All doesn't work. I tried normal install from a file manager. Nothing. Tried adb process. Pushing it. Still not working. Tried android command, still not working. And finally, your file, which i flashed. Still didn't work. All of them I got the same. When I open market, I just get a white blank, then after 5 seconds, goes back to the desktop screen. Any ideas to help me? Would really appreciate it.
Or I was thinking of doing this. Reflash the stock android 1.6 with root and then try the market. If it works, use nandroid back up. And then flash cyanogen 6.0 froyo 2.2 and restore the backup that i made with the market. DO you think that will work?

succesfully installed on my g1 cynogenmod but the market get fc when i try to download

[Q] Captivate market deleted, what do?

Hello, guys. This is my first post after lurking for a while, adding roms and getting all of the good stuff for my captivate. But i bumped across the new market. I didn't follow instructions completely and deleted the market. So how should I fix this? I don't want to reflash my phone, because this would take 6 days and I am going on vacation in a few days, and I don't think I will survive without my beloved phone.
Any help on how to download the market app would be much appreciated. I have the android market app v2.12 but it will not let me install through my computer...

Still have the *.apk for the new market? If not you can go to the Themes Forum and do a search there - someone had the *.apk file for the new market app. You can download it - put it on your SDCard and then run it through your file manager - should install and your back in business.
Will need to use the SEARCH feature to find it though as I don't have the link.

Allright, thanks. I hope this works because normally I could not install apps directly to my phone because of at&t but i will try this.

btw.. are you on a stock ROM (2.1) or have you flashed to a custom ROM? Also if your phone isn't rooted this method won't allow you to install the app.
Sorry forgot to mention it.
And uh.. it never takes me 6 days to flash - usually takes me about 15-20 minutes to flash back to stock, install the new ROM, and restore my applications/app data.

It WAS on android 2.2 but I'm not sure if it is anymore because i tried restoring it to factory settings. And I'm talking about sending it to samsung to reflash it, I don't know how to do it myself :/

Oh, and yes. It is rooted.
and the app from there is kind of messed up... Very glitchy (crashes a lot and lags like crazy) and doesn't show every app in searches, like z4root which is how i easily rooted my phone the first time.
So i really just want the old market back but it will just not let me.

Go into Menu -> Settings -> About Phone and look to where it says "Firmware Version". If it says 2.2 and your phone has been rooted it should work fine.
Otherwise... you would at least need to Root it if on 2.2.
And if your not on 2.2? I'm not sure if this will work as I know it was pulled from a 2.2 updated phone.

Ok.. Plan B
You should be able to find the old Market app inside the *.zip file of any ROM you have downloaded. Just make sure they are 2.2 Froyo ROMs
Open up the *.zip file and go into system/app and look for (I'm 99% sure) "MarketUpdater.apk"
Copy that file to your SDCard and install using your file manager - should overwrite everything and hopefully your good.
Also.. you could go to your Menu --> Settings --> Applications and probably uninstall the current Market app you have downloaded first - delete any cache/data under there first before uninstalling.
Hopefully that will throw back on the original market app and your all set.

The only problem with that is... It was this one click downloader thing... Odin3. So I don't know... It also won't let me reupdate it for some reason....

Hrm.. This is from the OTA JH7 zip I have lying around. Give this a try and see if it works.
If not you will need to re-flash back to stock.

Could you supply me with a good rom thats easy to download and has the market and ****, like android 2.2, because the odin crap doesn't work for me.

Hrm.. I'd say go here if you wish to install a custom ROM. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=819105
Then a few options you have is Cognition, Auxura, or Assonance.
I've ran all of them and they are all great ROM's. I currently am running Assonance with the Gingerbread theme and it runs great.
Just make sure to do the reading first then download the ROM and you should be on your way.... just remember failure to follow the directions if on you and your warranty is already toast

Its already too late for my warrenty..... But I'll go ahead and try these. Thanks.

Actually. Something that would REALLY help would be helping me get into download mode. Every time i plug my phone into the computer in download mode it says usb device not recognized. How do i fix this? I've tried about every samsung drivers... None of them work... If i could get it into download mode i could get it working easily

Flash on CM7?

Does CM7 support adobe flash?
I was on Honeycomb v4 2nd edition but even after the 1.1GHz overclock, it was really laggy which is fine because it is based off a preview build, so switched to the cm7 nightly of yesterday.
HC ran "TED T" fine from the market. it is an app which has ted talks on it.
however CM7 give me an error "Sorry, this video cannot be played"
anyone have any ideas on how to get flash working on cm7 or know a html app of ted talks?
i have installed adobe flash 10.2 from the market and also rebooted since.
thanks

It's a little choppy but otherwise Flash works fine for me on CM7 for a few days now. I update to the latest nightly each night before bed or morning when I get up and have not had it fail me yet since 10.2 came out. As to the Ted T app in particular that you mentioned, I downloaded and tried it out for you. The video is choppy, but otherwise it seems to work. I'd like to be of more help, but until video is fluid it really isn't worth speculating at what could be the cause in my opinion.

flash does work with cm7 (i use nightly 23) albeit a little low frame rate - trick is to use Dolphin Browser, click on menu/settings and User Agent and select Desktop

You are the second person after me to have problem with video with the more recent CM7 builds.
I went back to 25 and it works fine again.
The post above me says it works in 23.
My guess is that it was messed up in the recent builds - but you would think that someone else would have noticed.

thanks for your replies.
@animatechnica and ADude - went back to nightly 23 and 25. still no luck with ted t.
@snives - cheers for testing mate. can you tell me what nightly version u r using? thanks!

If you want random things to try that are suggested in various threads (after backing up your installation!):
- Power off and back on (should be different from reboot)
- Soft reset (20 second hold power button)
- Uninstall Flash 10.2 and download and install again
- Uninstall SetCPU or CPUtuner (supposed to not be used with CM7)
- Use standard kernel instead of OC kernel
- "Fix Permissions" in ROM manager
- Get brianf21's utility (Development Forum thread) and clear Dalvik Cache

Flash works for me, but it's choppy because it's a bad video codec.

So I have the CM7.0.2 installed on my nook color. I can not get any flash videos to play at all...
I tried it in the regular and opera browser, on various sites (NY Times, Youtube).
Everytime I get that flash player is not installed or this video can not be played....
From everything I have read, it states that flash is enabled in CM7 and it should work on the nook....
Any ideas for troubleshooting?
Thanks

Any hints or help guys?

Have you actually installed from Flash from the market?

It works fine on mine (CM7 full 60 nightly), with either stock browser and also with Opera mobile. I have latest Flash from the Market stored on my uSD card. Clear caches, and make sure you have a good wi fi connection?

Try uninstalling Flash 10.2 then re-install. Otherwise, sorry - I don't have any other ideas. I have CM7 Nightly 49 installed and have few troubles with Flash content so it can be done. Good luck!

Google Talk on a custom rom

So i installed the doomed froyo rom on my thrill 4g and am loving it (had the "almost cyanogen" GB rom before this but couldn't live with the bugs). My only gripe is i cannot for the life of me figure out how to get google talk installed on it. I've tried everything from downloading it on the fone and clicking it to install (says install failed) to forcing it into the system/apps folder via terminal on my mac and cmd prompt on my pc to double check myself.
Nothing has worked thus far. I've tried a "custom" gtalk apk, the newest version (1.3), and the previous version all to no avail. Anyone have any suggestions? I'm not a fan of any of the 3rd party apps that handle gtalk, so that's kind of out of the question. I really want the official gtalk app cause i fell in love with it while using the cyanogen mod GB rom

Use the one included in the rom it is based off of... im guessing 10e stock
Sent from my LG-P925 using XDA App

the doomed froyo rom doesn't come with gtalk, its supposed to be a "light" rom ...it looks like it was just updated to 2.0 with a new kernel, I'll try that out and see if theres a gtalk app included.

You want gtalk I can see about making that work out for you. What you could try is take the official gtalk app and put that into the doomed froyo slim zip file. Just open it up, and put the gtalk app in the system/app and flash the rom file. That should do the trick.

That'd be great...i actually tried that method already, but it seems it doesn't work...its as if the ROM is ignoring it cause it doesn't show up in my installed apps list, but is def. in the apps folder.
keep up the good work tho, love ur ROM

Have you tried opening the .apk or .zip of the gtalk app in cwm or in Rom manager? It worked for me installing it on cyanogenmod thrill.

[Q] GT-N7000 stuck on samsung logo [SOLVED]

Hey all. Had this phone for a while. All of a sudden after a routine poweroff (cuz I was flying), it refuses to boot up and is stuck on the flashing samsung text. Running the official ICS rom. No flashes/hacks/anything exciting ever done with this phone.
After a few browses at the topics here, I found out that I can access recovery mode (vol up + home + power). It shows the following message:
#MANUAL MODE#
-- Appling Multi-CSC...
Applied the CSC-code : INV
Successfully applied multi- CSC
Can anyone help me out here?

First and foremost before you do anything flash a custom kernel which will stop the brick bug from happening:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1901191
Once that is done, do a data wipe in recovery mode. If it doesn't boot then you will have to reflash (a custom ROM or using download mode to flash an official ROM).

Many thanks for the reply. Just a few questions before I jump into it though...does the custom kernel do anything else besides safeguard from bricking? (I'm referring to not being able to access google services and the like)
Next - if I do a data wipe, doesnt that mean that all the data (pics, contacts, sms) will go? Would there be a way to preserve these?
Sorry I do realize these are really green questions...never had a problem with this phone before and never tried experiementing

The custom kernel will stop the brick bug from happening and it will give you a custom recovery, If you have a custom recovery then you can flash other custom ROMs. You won't be limited in any way whatsoever.

I think that if you do it on the stock recovery (the one you have now) then it will remove everything: 3rd party apps, pictures, contacts, smses, settings etc. If however you do it on philz then it will remove your installed apps, settings, smses, contacs, call logs etc. BUT it will not remove all the files on your sd card (pictures and other files).

No problem, better to be safe and sure than having a bricked phone
Also, I read where the smses and call logs are stored (but not the contacts):
mmssms.db (messages and mms data bases)
telephony.db (this one contains call logs)
They are located in:
/data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases/
You could use ADB or something simpler (if you have that custom recovery I linked earlier) - aroma file manager:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1646108
Then you can copy those files to your sd card.
Also, chances are your contacts are on google: https://www.google.com/contacts/
And also if you reflash and sign into your google account at startup then you may be able to restore your apps (but without the settings to them).
Let me know if you're unsure about anything.

The Custom kernel have a lot of useful tools besides safeguarding from bricking.. It wont interfere with accessing google services and all that..
If you do a factory reset, it will wipe you user account data ( i.e only contacts, sms and installed apps ) and it wont wipe your pics, songs etc.. When i first installed a custom Rom i imported all my contacts from sd card and when it asked me for a location to save contacts, i selected my google account. That way all my contacts are always synced and saved in google.. So whenever you flash a Rom and enter you phone, it will ask you google account to begin with and the contacts will be automatically synced to your phone!
If you are a starter and interested in Rooting and Flashing Custom Roms i would recommend reading Dr.Ketan's guide.
Dr.ketan's Rooting guide :- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1329360. Try the ercommended method 1A.. It will install custom kernel and as well as root your phone!

That clarified a bit indeed! Unfortunately, my google contacts are filled with miscellaneous emails and no phone numbers...I should really get on top of making better backups.
Question #3: [EDIT] looks like the original ROM was DDLSC...trying for the same here.
Question #4: It seems one can run a backup directly from PhilZ. Shall I try that out before wiping everything into oblivion?

First of all, rotting doesn't remove or effect of removing google play.. S-Note, S planner and other samsung apps will work only if you are flashing a Touchwiz based Rom.. Those apps wont work in CM, PA and AOKP Roms cuz they need TW framework to work with!
If you are thinking of flashing of TW based Roms, i would recommend 2 Roms to take a look at..
X-Rom ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2320871&nocache=1 ) This is the Rom, i am currently using.. It will give your phone a tablet UI, thus taking advantage of your Note's large real estate screen! .. Multi window, floating window and buttery smooth and lots of features!
You can also check out the Note 8 Apps ported to our galaxy note N7000, if you are interested.. ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2217662 )
Arya Mod ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2575767 ) This is also a great Rom and cool icons and themes!

First go to that rooting guide and root using the 1A method. It will give you philz kernel.. Then install one of the Rom Above! ( If you want a TW Roms that is )..
Then if after flashing a TW based Roms, flash this kernel to get a amazing and battery life ! It makes the ROM buttery smooth too ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2638337 )
Note that this rom only works with 4.1.2 JB Roms and Most TW Roms are 4.1.2 JB anyways!

To install stock Roms check this guide by Dr.ketan ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1424997 )
NOTE:- Just make sure you select Normal method, when you open the Supersu and its asks you to update Supersu binaries..

So finally solved! Thanks heaps to CustomRomAddicts and XxPixX for the help!
Just for anyone else stuck in the same boat:
Problem: Phone won't boot, stuck at the flashing samsung logo.
Tried and didn't work: remove sim, remove memory card, different battery, on charge, off charge.
Solution:1) Installed Philz kernel (found the kernel I require by looking at the stock rom code...mine was DDLSC) on my external SD. You can find this out by looking at the stock roms downloads on Dr. Ketan's page and finding out where you got your phone from in the first place (assuming it wasn't parallel imported).
2) Put the external SD back in, go into recovery mode (vol up+home+power), backup whatever I require (which in my case was a full backup).
3) Factory reset. (Mine did not delete the pictures, songs etc. It did delete all contacts, sms, call logs, applications, settings and updates).
