Market Fix for Leaked Froyo

Install it via rom manager or clockwork. Backup prior to doing so.
If things do not show up immediatly, try installing some random app and see if it populates then.
Otherwise, it will happen the next time the market data sync with the phone.

are there any reasons not to do this? will this lead to bad dependencies? incorrectly installed applications?
What problems can this cause? Is this fixable?

A. This isn't Redhat, circa 1997. Android doesn't work that way.
B. Either they install, or they don't.
C. Problems it can cause? It can prevent Incredible only and/or Verizon only applications from showing up. I don't forsee that being an issue, ever so...
This is a simple build.prop change so that the market will show all paid apps.
Before:
ro.build.fingerprint=verizon_wwe/inc/inc/inc:2.2/FRF91/212490:user/release-keys
(Market: wtf is this?)
After:
ro.build.fingerprint=google/passion/passion/mahimahi:2.2/FRF91/43546:user/release-keys
(Market: Oh hai, Nexus One!)

Thanks
This worked for me and I got the Documents to Go paid version which was the only thing that I was needing. I had some problems with it kicking me off the network and having to use wifi to connect. After a reboot I was back on the network though so I don't know if that had anything to do with adding this.
Out of curiosity is there a way that I can go back to what it was so that when the market gets fixed it would work like it is suppose to? I saw in the build.prop file what you changed and thought I could just change that back but I wanted to ask before I did.
Thanks so much for this.

This will break custom boot animations?

Thanks for this, one of my paid apps wasn't showing up, this did the trick!

Ok the reason I asked was because someone in ##incredibleroot said it would cause problems

Did they specify what?
Random text about causing problems from someone in IRC without a reason of what or why is pretty worthless.

adrynalyne,
YOU ARE THE MAN!!!

Here is a new version that includes the streaming audio fixes.
http://www.4shared.com/file/RjEL6jSz/market_streaming_fix_froyo.html

To have the market checkin right away do the following so you don't have to wait or download any other BS apps.
1. Open the Phone app
2. Dial *#*#CHECKIN#*#* (2432546) ** When you type the last "*" what you typed will disappear.
3. Wait for the message on the notification bar to say "checkin succeeded."
4. All paid apps that were missing should be available.
Thanks.

I guess I'm the only one that has great streaming audio quality. I use Pandora and even before changing the audio quality setting to "High" it didn't sound bad. I wonder what that is that makes it hit or miss on these devices.
Anyways, I just wanted to point out that the AAC fix really slows the phone down a bit. It changed my quadrant scores from 1200's down to 790-800.
Just a FYI.
P.S. Thanks for the Market fix!

i have the htc music widget on my homescreen. after installing the update with the streaming audio fixes whenever i reboot my phone my music starts playing automatically. now when i remove the widget and reboot the music doesn't play.

Netflix??

Sorry, wasn't sure inder which thread to post, however, does anyone know hoe to get the Netflix app? Zune software can't find it for me, marketplace does not have it either.

strange!!!!!!
because I got one from the marketplace, but its written as T-mobile netflix, so I guess it would only for t-mobile user, not sure though

i got it in marketplace also.

when you go to the market place click on apps> entertainment> free. its the second one there. i just downloaded mine on to my phone.

Is there a XAP available?

There was a .xap of Netflix I found on some other thread but I won't bother linking to it as when I had downloaded and sideloaded it before I had live activated, it wouldn't go past a Netflix splashscreen. You probably have to download legitly from marketplace cause it checks for a license :/

funny, before seeing this post the only thing i tested on netflix was Ip Man. But just tried something else and the audio seems fine for me. right on time.

netflix...
works on my hd2...the vid quality isn't as crisp as say "the transformers" that came on the phone, but it works...could be the connections, a setting or something...the audio is perfect...it does "acquire a license" prior to loading...i couldn't get this to load on android so this is a huge step forward...

i guess im the only one having this issue wonder why

Error streaming
I installed the T-Mobile netflix app and it loads and browses my account.
However, when I try to stream anything I get:
"Connection Problem
Error Code: P8156
A connection problem is preventing playback.
If your phone is connected to your computer, disconnect your phone or close Zune.

I get the same error both under wifi and data connection. I have not actived live services. Could that be the problem?

Music Beta by Google: A Must Read For All Root Users!

The Music Beta by Google app seems to be giving me issues. I have been using it since it launched on the Xoom without any kind of problems until now. It is telling me that I have too many devices connected to my account. That doesn't make any sense because I know for a fact that I do not have more than 8 devices or computers connected to my account like it's telling me I have. I know for a fact that I have my Xoom, my Droid, and my computer all connected to my Music account. And that's it! Nothing else.
Now I can't use Music Beta on my Xoom... and I don't know why it would be saying that when I know it's false. This is the only app that is giving me problems. Screenshot attached...
UPDATE: The problem has been resolved by me! Check out the post below to see...

I have fixed the problem! I am rooted, of course... and it turns out that every time I wiped data on my Xoom, and then signed back into my Music Beta account on a fresh new install, it would add my Xoom to my list of devices again. My Xoom was actually listed 7 times on the Music Beta device list, followed by my Droid... which is a total of 8 devices. That explains everything!
To fix this:
Just log into the desktop version of Music Beta by clicking here, go into settings, and then you'll see a place to manage your devices. Just remove the multiple device entries from the list, and then... presto! We're back in business!
Important Lesson Of The Day:
If you own a Xoom, are rooted, wipe data a lot, and you use Music Beta a lot... you will want to make sure that you check out your device list right away. I can almost guarantee that your Xoom is listed more than one time. If there are multiple device entries of the same thing, just remove them off your list. It's that easy!
And if you don't do this... eventually you will end up hitting 8 devices total like I did. Then you will have to remove at least one device entry from the list before you can use it again, because you are only allowed 8 devices at a time, even if it just so happens to be the same device listed 8 different times. Just be aware of that situation and you won't ever have a problem.
If anyone has found this information useful or informative, please give me a thanks. Also, leave any comments if you have any. Thanks all!

i experienced a similar situation with the kindle app, every time i wiped and reloaded the kindle app, it thought it was a new xoom, so i had 6 tablets on the account.
thanks for the heads up with the google music.

Ahh very similar situation indeed. It's something I wanted us root users to realize when wiping data. Little things like this... I don't think most people think about or even know about. Also, thanks for the heads up about the Kindle app. I don't use it so much right now so I didn't know that.

Nah it's cool. You need to click the gear icon in the upper right hand corner of the Music Beta page while you are logged in, and then hit music settings. You can then see the page that has your devices on it. Done.

Thanks for finding this. I couldn't figure it out. Would work fine from my laptop, but not on my EVO or my Thrive. Was making me a little crazy.

Thanks for this. Since I've only wiped my Xoom once, it was listed once...but my D3..listed multiple times, cuz of wiping
Thanks!!

Thanks for the fix, I got the notification last night and had no idea how since I only use Google Music on my PC and phone, hopefully they fix the issue of it automatically authorizing the same device multiple times.

Hopefully they do down the road. Each device has its own MAC address, so it should be fairly easy to allow it to differentiate between same devices so that they will not make the list more than once. It should not be difficult for it to identify a device that is already on the list via MAC address, or so you would think so right.

Jelly Bean has killed Light Flow

Installed Jelly Bean this afternoon and so far so good.
However, Light Flow keeps crashing, so I can't use it. I've followed all instructions, restarted, removed and reinstalled but still no luck.
Anyone else having the problem, or know of an alternative?
I only need it for Gmail and Handcent SMS.

It's not Jelly Bean - it looks like the latest update to Gmail caused it.

You start google now by holding the home softkey on the display and move your finger up to the magnifier.
Tip: Don't even try it out, let it disabled. Your phone will have ~30% less runtime when it's activated.

New version of Lightflow (3.6.1) in the Play Store that is supposed to fix the problem with Gmail notifications.
Still doesn't show Gmail notifications via the LED on my phone though.
---------- Post added at 08:11 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:51 AM ----------
Quick update - I've been in touch with the developer and he suggested the following, which worked with the latest version (3.6.1) for me:
Go into lightflow->notifications gmail, select the gmail label you want (disable and enable it if already enabled) and see if that works.

Apps That Do Not Work with Android 5.0 "Lollipop" official release

There's a thread about Apps That Do Not Work with Android "L" Preview but now that Lollipop official factory image is out, I think it's time to start a new thread.
I've updated my Nexus 5 to Lollipop yesterday and thanks to CF Auto Root and Titanium Backup, I've managed to restore most of my apps' data. So far, the only app that seems to be completely broken is Freedome 1.0.40.1123 (aka F-Secure Freedome VPN). It shows a "Network request failed" error dialog. logcat output is attached, and I've sent their support an email.
Update: Freedome 1.0.41.1142 works fine on Lollipop.
WiFi Web Login 4.1.27 is failing more often then working, but no crashes or stacktraces in logcat. I've already sent them an email reporting this.
Please contribute to this list.

office
Office mobile always asks you to check connection.
Posti (finland) says same as office.
Edit. I am surprised with office, is anyone also having the same issue?

Skiplock
Marked app as incompatible with Android 5+. Due to changes in Android 5.0, it is no longer possible for an app to unlock the device. Thanks, Google. If I can find a way around this, I will, but don't get your hopes up.

can't install many things
Has anyone else had trouble installing things in the first place? For example, I need to install the Amazon Appstore, but after downloading and opening the apk file the "Install" button will not react. The "Cancel" button works just dandy, but there are several things I've come across that have the same problem as the appstore. Is this due to security settings, the apps needing to be updated, or what? Very irritating. Lollipop is flashy and all that, but so far has been a bit of a pain what with the manual flashing and the root runaround I've had.
