I was wondering if any one has found a way to push or import the market from 1.6 or maybe even from the 2.x builds. I tried pulling the Vending.apk from 2.1 and pushing it to my phone but it just crashed when i tried opening it, so I'm guessing there is more to it then that.
Sorry that I didn't get a chance to respond to your PM. The market ties in to a whole lot of aspects of the phone, so yea I highly doubt it would be that easy. I'm sure it's possible, but I'm not sure what makes their market better that it's worth it? Care to inform me?
Doesn't the market detect your phone and only load applicabale stuff for you? I would think issues would occur pulling one from a phone that isn't our model.

That info is pulled from /system/build.prop, so it could be modified.
no worries I wasn't sure if the pm had gone through or not but I just wanted the updated ui mainly for aesthetic reasons. I liked the way it looked and it was set up when i had it on my g1. I just wasn't sure if it was possible cause I thought in the Cyanogen mods when he was trying to get donut up in running i thought he had started by importing some stuff into 1.5
...
i was playing around trying to pull apks from the 2.1 build like the maps app which wouldnt even install and the wiredteether app and to no avail it installed but i kept hetting android.settings force close kept the app running and tethered but im on a mac now so i dunno if the proggy werks on a win machine. i am really interested in getting the maps app i want the navi or to play with it, ocnsidering i have the sprint navi and co-pilot its more of just to play with but im all about testing if anyone wants to put any time and effort into ports pm me or email or gtalk or google wave or if u want a google wave invite i have a few left also when u get a invite u have 8 of your own to send out, also have a extra google voice invite if anyone is in need.
thanks in advance

I don't want to burst your bubble but the api flat out will not handle using the new google maps/navigation on 1.5. As for the wired tether that's in the 2.1 rom, it's not a stock app. http://code.google.com/p/android-wired-tether/

How many times have you heard a rad song on the internet or on the radio in your car and wanted to download the song to your phone with Amazon and alas...No wifi!
Many of you already have this because I released it on Twitter last night but I have tweaked the Amazon app to allow you to download music over a regular data connection. No more need for wifi....
This tweak was again made possible by JF smali and baksmali applications which can be found here
Here's the apk: Amazon
Make sure you rename the file...take the dash out and put a . in.
You will need to install this with adb simply push it to /system/app and it should do the rest.
adb push com.amazon.mp3.apk /system/app
This should work on all builds.....Enjoy

That would definitely be the ultimate port! JF is a genius as you have said before, but seriously, I don't see anyone besides you actually utilizing this tool. Keep up the badass work man!
Is there anyway possible you could tweak amazon so that the downloads are free?
HaHa....Wish I could....
epic hack!
here's to hoping amazon doesn't get their panties in a bunch about DMCA bs. can't see that they could prove damages since you're providing another vector for people to access their service.
i've seen cease and desists issued for less :-/
cheers!
Hahaha....if they did that certainly would be a fun little ride.....
If I didn't illegally download my music this would be great. I really need to touch up on my java. First time I used smali I was like, "oh, sh*t..."
Great job man, well done
While I don't really care for amazon.mp3 (actually that's the first thing I do when I flash the rom is delete amazon, voice dialer and IM) but I still would like to thank our XML god for this and HTC Music player hack (which I love and use daily). I think everyone should donate to Stericson immediately because he is the nicest guy around here and his work is used in EVERY rom and EVERY theme. Besides, he has to pay off that fancy wedding of his .
Anywho... If you port dialer and caller ID from hero.... I'll put your picture up in my living room and name my kid after you And I'll donate again too
ROFLOL Thanks for the compliment........I knew not many would use this but maybe some would...I use it every now and again....So its worth a mentioning and a release.
Exchange sync
Could you apply your considerable talent, smali and baksmali to get Exchange Sync to work on all / most builds? That is an application that I would use. And I think there are a lot of other people who would like to have it as well.
What do you think? Do-able?
ATM my current focus is on the htc dialer and people...so I wont be able to look into this atm...maybe something to consider in the future?
Anythings do-able....

Does htc dialer include incoming call screen or is that a separate hack? For some reason I can't find any reference to that
Seperate hack, that uses the phone.apk made by HTC, however I am quite sure I can replicate their incoming call screen, outgoing call screen, and ongoing call screen without too much trouble....but I will probably focus on that later....
Depends......

Here's a motivation... make it into an app and put it on the market for $X.99, I can bet that you'll hit <1000 downloads in the first 2 days... just sayin
I've seen at least 6-10 people looking for something like this just on XDA.
At any rate.... take your time, if you want to do it later or don't want to do it at all that's fine too. I'll keep F5-ing
Once more... thanks for all this amazing stuff
how about modifying this to look up the song on amazon and then downloading it via torrent?

Agh... you're right.. I did not think about it...
Well, good luck.. I'm out for the weekend...
I remember talking with JF, this was one of the first things he did with it . Figured it would be a simple patch.
Please dont flame me for this. I know that it's technically in the wrong section but the people who read the Development section are likely to know a bit more about this topic.
Anyway, Google Buzz. It's new, and it's pretty cool. It's built-in to the new version of Maps, but the Web App (buzz.google.com) will only work in Android 2.0 and up. I remember that before Google changed the Maps Navigation back-end, making an edit to the build.prop would make Navigation work on 1.6. So, would something similar work for Buzz?
I'm at school and I have no access to a computer with the SDK on it so I can't get at my build.prop at the moment via ADB. Could somebody test this if they get a chance?
Again...I know that this is technically the wrong section, but please be gentle with me
I think If you modify browser's user agent you could use buzz. I do it with firefox.
BR.
Why would you need to modify your browser to use Buzz...
Just open up Google Maps and it is already built into Maps 4.0, like you said in your msg...
Or do you not want to have to go that extra step?...
I mean yes it would be nice for it to work without having to use Maps, but why make extra work?
It's just a thought....
They are working on it for G1 device. Here: http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/Google+Mobile/thread?tid=3dcfc0961244b5ac&hl=en
Here's the build.prop's if you want to try (warning, you'll also see lwp's in marketplace THESE WILL NOT WORK).
http://www.4shared.com/file/219070445/20e889c/Buildprops.html

Try the build.prop's I put up earlier. It DOEN'T work in the browser on 1.6 (which is what you want).
Like a few other people have stated. Why aren't you using the new Google Maps? It has Buzz. I've been using it all day. Commenting and posting.

And as he has stated, he wants it in the browser.
Oh ok yeah my bad I corrected myself.
but yeah I dont think its gunna be available for 1.6ers anytime soon. maybe in the future?
The Maps integration does NOT allow you access to all of the Buzz features. It only allows you to post, and comment on other Buzz posts.
AND the Buzz in maps only allows public posts. I don't really care to share location-based status updates to everyone in the world.
It's pretty goofy that the web app doesn't work in the 1.6 browser...REALLY goofy that it doesn't work in CyanogenMod with the backported Eclair browser.
The ROM cookers are doing a great job but it's really annoying that Goog seems to have basically EOL'ed Android 1.x after barely a year of service.
Google Buzz works with Maps 4.0 on cyan 2.x rom but it breaks multi-touch for some reason.
Oh wow...IT WORKS!
Will create a new thread on how to make it work.

Maybe.
Strike the part about it working, though. There appears to be a catch. Just pushing the build.prop enables the web app but causes a Force Close of Maps whenever you try and run Maps.
Testing what happens if you push the build.trout.prop as well right now.
I cant get it to post anything in maps, but then I am running OE1.1.5Beta. got it in the browser though.
I am running 1.6 and all I did was install maps 4.0 from this forum through terminal and then went to market and it prompted me for update with google maps buzz and i did. Now I am running official google 4.0 from market on my 1.6 FastTest rom.
Okay, it turns out that there is currently no way to get both a working Maps application (at all) and the Buzz web app on Android 1.6. Looks like we'll just have to wait for Google.
ok coming from a blackberry to Android I have to say the Facebook app sucks when ever I get a notification ,yes it appear but it doesn't notify me on a comment and when I do open it it opens in the web browser. what's up with this its just stupid, the blackberry app was much better than this it would open the Facebook app when you opened the notification. is there any plan In the pipe line to improve this or even any mods I can use to improve this? sorry for any grammar typed on my phone in under 2 mins LOL.
There are some 3rd party facebook apps. Babbler (paid and Lite) and Bloo. I haven't really tried them so I don't know how good they are.
just downloading now will update on what its like
that's the perfect app takes a little setting up but if your having problems just ask me and ill be more than happy to give you a hand
Which app did you try? I downloaded Babbler Lite after replying and I like it much better than the official app. I haven't decided if it's worth getting the paid version yet though.
yeah im using babble lite its much better than normal Facebook I think I might buy full version just to support the devs who have made such a great app
Yeah, I'm thinking I'll end up buying this app. It's definitely the best FB app I have used.
setup
im having trouble setting up babbler, i have the full version. when i log in through babbler it just stays on the same screen that says babbler for android or something.
can someone help ?
thanks

ok well I did it thru the browser I had to go to the application thru Facebook on the browser (just search babbler on Facebook) and accept it and all then go to the application on your device and accept some more and then it all worked hope this help. they really need to sort this out this is the only big downfall with this app. anyway any problems anyone just pm me
Actually, I didn't have to go through the browser at all. I think the issue is that you have to scroll all the way to the bottom on the screen that seems to be just sitting there. At the bottom you will see the allow button.
thanks got it working.
i hope there is an update to the official facebook app for android so its like the one for the iphone which is pretty much perferct.

yeah you just need to wait till people begin to use android and it will begin to get the updates, i mean look at iphone apps there amazing cause that is THE thing atm, and blackberries also have a good following so the apps for that are normally ok, but as android is getting bigger and better ( imho its alredy the best) the apps will come rolling in like they did for the iphone/ipad

Just wondering if anyone has heard of such a thing. With all of the issues with protected apps not showing in the market with some roms, it would be neat if there was an app like the Music downloaders, that let you search and download apks.
Some apps poof from market and it would be nice to have a quick way to find them.
Does SlideME work? I used that back in the vogue android days, but I haven't used it since.. That was just a different market app basically
See if any of these work: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=536317
I honestly don't know. My protected apps all work. And honestly the only times they haven't is because we were using developers roms. It's all fixed now though, and our official obviously won't have that problem.
Search the market for "APKtor." It's an app that'll let you add repositories filled with android apps. It's essentially Cydia for Android. As far as where to get your repositores, you'll need to figure that much out.
there a few others that i will not post here lol
Appbrain ...
Search google for an app called "black market"..
Then you will have to search for the right repositories.. If you download GMOB chat and go to the rooted users chat someone there will help you out..
*also in GMOB chat there is a room where there is nothing but posted apps, and a request room..

Don't want to steer the thread too far off topic, but is this true for all roms, or just certain ones. I haven't been able to spend much time on the forum the past few days, but if there's a complete fix for protected apps, I'll definitely set aside some time to seek it out...
i honestly havent dl'd anything from the market since my g1, cept to go grab linda and get acess to my sd right away...
anything the market can do, google can do better *singalong voice*
i understand the market is google, but i mean the search engine

fresh rom 2.0d.
Can anyone find Digital Clock Widget v1.8 in the marketplace? Says it's copy protected, but it's a free app. I have v1.7.6 and can't find it to update. Found a website with a zip of v1.8, but it's not signed. I signed it, but it won't install because it says it's missing classes.dex.
Also, flipz, is the market fix available as a standalone update? Currently running DCv2.05
Oh ****! APKtor is god!
did i squeeze enough in the title there? lol
basically, i have an app, and the app did a major overhaul of its functionality and layout. soo for the past 6 months ive been intentionally not updating it when the market bugs me to. id like to just once and for all figure out some way to associate it with the market.
anyone out there wanna help me out with a way to do this? ive tried the titaniumbackup feature, but i dont believe it works anymore. i also tried changing the signature, but i always seem to break the app.
ill add "Thanks" to anyone responding with advice, thanks!

Just turn off auto updating in the market and you won't get bugged.
The titanium feature works for me even on 4.4.
