As you may know, Google merged their internal branch with Cupcake today. I built the image for dream and published it on my site. Have fun:
http://www.koushikdutta.com/2009/04/have-you-cupcake-and-eat-it-too.html
How about some screenshots of the differences? I would like to see what is different from the sapphire builds.
I would guess that you've flashed this to an actual handset.
I won't have a chance to play with this for the next few days, so I'm curious to know how your "clean" cupcake build compares to Haykuro's Magic builds in terms of features (Exchange support, etc) and hardware support (WiFi/BT/radio/etc).
If I DO get a chance I may play around with this, I'm curious. Thanks for the info!
Yeah, I have flashed it. This is a build of the Android code that was only just committed upstream today. It is not in any Haykuro build yet AFAIK. It's not a "usable" build by any means (no Google apps), but it's fun to see what will be coming down to our phone in a matter of weeks.
I am just wondering what you meant by ui changes. Are we talking about a different notification bar or something?
Good work!
I will wait a bit before I put cupcake on my ADP1, but still cool that Google has made the merge.
Ive been playing around with the latest Cupcake build on my Touch Pro and indeed, the changes are significant.
The changes cupcake brings can be found here
You got Android working on your HTC Touch Pro???
What on earth makes you come to that conclusion
Erm, yeah.. We have been working on porting Android to the Touch Pro and Diamond for more than 5 months. Check htc-android.com, htc-linux.org/wiki or even the topic here at XDA (which isnt active anymore, here.
Neccesary files can be downloaded over at connect-utb.com
I have the master build running, I compiled the kernel and wifi, and took all the google apps from the 502h and every thing is working as expected, just lost the LED notification, even when charging I am not seeing the LED light, else every thing is working, Maps, YouTube, market[just not able to download app, its stuck and downloading], but its all working, gmail, contacts and calender sync[but have to deploy all the closed source into it]
Thanks,
Pramod
PS: Compiled the 2.6.29 kernel but not able to make the wifi compiled with it.
Wow sounds very interesting, might have to flash just to take a look.

lol ^ that's the reason i got the G1. my manager had android on his touch around the same time the G1 was releasing. he's had problems with running it on the diamond as of late. i'll give hime the links you provided
Nvm got it.
Everything looks the same as haykuros build 4.5 without google apps, only thing i see different is the dev tools is now spare parts with different options.

Nothing is special but I think this build can run more smooth than haykuro 4.5. because it doesn't include Google apps so I will not flash it

What does can run more smooth mean?
Either its faster than haykuro 4.5 or its not.
Is it faster?
lol @ dwang..... maybe wiki the word "smooth" haha
When something runs smoothly vs something running sluggish and slow there's a differenece
Smooth means fast yes.....
Runs about the same to me, meaning if you add google apps it will surely run slower then haykuros build. Also many bugs browser gives error and wont load, camera and video recorder force-closes, auto rotate does not work blah blah list goes on lol...

I don't think that was lost on dwang. I think he was referring to the entire sentence, which seems to contradict itself. By saying it'll run smooth, but then saying he will not flash it.
Nifty. I wish I had a spare device to play around with it. I may just have to install the emulator so I can mess with this stuff, I find it very interesting.
For the last couple of days I've been trying to get Eclair 3D acceleration running on 32A with old radio. I was somehow succesful so I decided to release one Sense based ROM port and one "plain" Eclair. I had succes with other ROMs though (not all of them, but a few).
This ROM is highly experimental! So bear that in mind. The only testing I've done is here on my own Magic - I am not using any ext3/ext4 partition for app2sd, for example, so I'm not sure how it behaves if you use one. I can't say I would recommend it for the daily use, it seems too unstable/unreliable to me, but YMMV.
I've added a few things here and there that are essential to me like Market Enabler, More Locale 2, some ringtone and notification files. I've also changed the default analog clock (the Android widget, not HTC widget) to Pulse clock.
Thanks to:
Kingclick (obviously), ahmgsk, Cyanogen and all the other devs working on his kernel source, Amon_RA, all OpenEclair devs, polyrhytmic, dzo, vilord and many others.
What seems to work:
- 3D acceleration works for the most part. Meaning that from what I've tested, I can get Neocore (about 22fps in benchmark), Radiant, Armadillo Roll to run, but iDracula doesn't run for some reason (at all).
- Multitouch works. Multitouch enabled Google Maps 4.0 (by brut) included, the vanilla ones do not have working MT on this ROM.
- Camera works, including touch to focus - no video recording, though
- Youtube normal quality works
- Video playback works at least to some degree - I can play back videos recorded earlier with my phone
- GPS and accelerometer should work
What seems not to work:
- YouTube HD. Sorry.
- Bluetooth doesn't work at all. You can't even enable it, so don't try.
Known Issues:
- Rather slow on startup. Give it time to start up fully, even after you see the home screen. You may even get a few "App not responding - FC/Wait?" warnings - just click on Wait and give it more time.
- LED notifications are problematic - had to remove HeroLED to get at least some notifications, but all you get now is green, even if the app uses different color on older ROMs. No charging orange LED, too.
- Google Sync is problematic. After you sign in to your account, it syncs, but you don't get Contacts sync at all. To get them to sync, reboot phone, they'll sync after the reboot. Even then it seems like Auto Sync isn't really working or the rate of checking is quite long - I couldn't get Gmail auto sync to work. You can sync manually without problems, but auto sync seems a no go.
Note:
Take this port "as is" 'cause I probably won't support it much. I think of it more as a "proof of concept" that seems to cool to me not to share it with others, but I don't have enough time to offer full support or work on for days. Maybe I'll release another version someday, maybe not. Sorry. I'm just being honest here.

i tried it and it doesnt boot. stuck on the rogers screen for over 10 minutes haha. i am on the old radio and 32A.
is there any htc cime ?
or can i push it ?
HTC_CIME is not included, wasn't in Kingclick's original ROM either, sorry. You may of course try to push it - if you have a standalone Donut HTC_CIME, it should work here as well, I think. But don't hold me to it.
Well, i DLed it from mediafire and tried to flash it but im actually getting this error:

Did you check the MD5 to see if the archive is not corrupted?
I'll try to check the file as well ASAP, anyway.
The md5 doesnt match with the one that you posted.
Im going to download it for the third time, but ill use rapidshare instead.
Yeah, the Mediafire file seems corrupted, sorry about that, should've probably checked that (but upload went fine). The RapidShare file seems fine. I'll upload it again ASAP.
Once again, sorry about that.

OK, Mediafire mirror is up again and should be fine now.
Just flashed it, but, after i change the wallpaper it freezez and restart's like a log off not a fully restart - it starts at the nexus boot screen, not mt3g screen.
The gallery is fantastic, works great, the tilt and angle works in the galley smooth but in landscape mode it freezez and/or i cant see anything, the menu flicks with no lag at all, the multi tuch is silky smooth. i'm waiting for another release to be less buggy but for now, for today, it's a keeper.
Running on HTC Magic or Mytouch3G
Love to see Case_ you back in the kernal side of things and porting some great roms.
Thanks heaps and hope you'll keep porting these great roms when they updated.. so many ppl only port one version or two then disappears..
hope to test it later!
seams nice
btw for the backport to 32B I think there might be something wrong with teh wlan module.
when I enable it, the rom keeps on rebooting, so might be something buggy here.
other then that works like a charm and really fast , compared to the original rom without 3d
I honestly don't know what is causing the problems with the wlan module. I've of course recompiled it for the 32B kernel, but still people seem to have problems with it.
But as I've said many times now, I don't own G1 nor 32B and neither have access to one, I've done the port "blind" as a proof of concept for the 3D part and had absolutely no way of debugging it properly. So I'm really sorry if it doesn't work as it should, but I really can't do anything about it. You just have to wait for the proper debugged 32B version of this ROM with working 3D to emerge. Kingclick mentioned yesterday that it's close.
yeah dont worry about it
I just thought I give you some feetback on that
hi...ive tryed this rom but i ve problem to login in google account...i cant in wizard and in impostation and i cant open market...there is a way to fix it?

Browsing Google for new roms to check out, review and breakdown for my own learning pleasure, I stumbled across this hero rom of Android 2.1 with SenseUI.
http://www.4shared.com/file/163848444/8c7602ca/Hero_21.html
Tried to google search the archive name as well as the full 4shared link but couldn't find any articles about it anywhere. (If you know where its from let me know!)
Flashed it on my 32B Magic (MyTouch). This rom is INCREDIBLE. Booted up from flash to setup in less than 3 minutes, everything in setup ran smoothly and quickly (with one exception, I'll note below).
This is SO FAST, right off the bat, no SetCPU, no nothing, AND THE PHONE COMES UP INSTANTLY WHEN RECEIVING A CALL! No force closes so far, no non responding apps, NOTHING.
I've found 2 problems with the rom - Gmail setup can't seem to find a data connection (but the browser and IM clients do - weird? is this a CDMA rom? How do I check?) and the homescreen reboots anytime you hit the "Home" button - but it only takes a second or two to finish. I'm going to fly spare parts onto it and see if I can keep home in memory.
If anyone knows who's rom this is, let me know! Also, if it IS a CDMA rom, can someone port it to GSM? About Phone says this is the HTC Hero, but the Kernel says it is "Unavailable".
TRY THIS ROM, ITS AWESOME! If I can get gmail to work and the home app to stay in memory this will be my daily rom until CR brings his Slide rom out of beta and it runs this fast.
EDIT: Doing some testing, results of set 1
Comes with SU installed and working.
Text messages - working
Sense Widgets - working
Phone calls (in and outbound) - working and SUPER fast, there's NO lag!
NO CAMERA!
wifi - broken? says its unable to start
bluetooth - same as wifi
Gmail - broken? Can't get a data connection to gmail
Market - not working, because I can't get into gmail :-(
Browser - working, browsing the web as we speak
Keyboard - working (HTC_IME with no lag or weird ram-hack like problems.)
SetCPU (installed through adb) - installed and now this thing is just... I mean, there's no words for it. its fast. its really fast.
-----------------------------------------------
I'm working on building off of this rom - but I'm not copying and pasting in a ktichen, I'm actually working to rewrite code, replacing drivers, updating with a new kernel and above all else, making the apps work together. Right now I'm working to fix sync and make the prgram list actually display all the installed apps. This is tedious work, but Ill update you guys on my progress as it happens. I think this is a great rom to build off of because from the start, its super fast and as long as I keep speed in mind as I work on the rom, I think the end result will be a good one. If you have any suggestions I'd love to hear them, both for fixes and modifications to this rom. I'm new to android development so I'm doing a hell of a lot of reading right now but I'm a 8 year programmer and do it for 9 hours a day, 5 days a week, so it's not like programming is new to me - just the android side of it. I'd like to thank Cyanogen fo his wealth of tutorials, repositories, and tips because most of the stuff I'm reading and learning was written by him.
Bugfix log for NEXT release (NOT THE CURRENT ONE!)
Facebook App and sync - fixed
Camera/Video
Wifi
Widgets (they don't all appear in the add widget list)
Google sync - Partially fixed... still working on it

[5/9/10] On the google sync issue - I originally thought it was a Hero caching problem, having found a ton of information of this happening on stock hero devices, but it turns out it wasn't. In the process of discovering this, I've also found out why the installed apps don't show in the Rosie app list. Its a bug with how this rom was built in SDK version 6, when the original Hero rom from HTC was build in 7, it was backported (not sure if I have the correct terminology there), breaking a few things. I'm going to recompile in 7, fix the system date format (which is also causing an error in the Google sync) and hopefully get sync working, then I can start looking at other minor bugs and optimization.
-----------------------------------------------
PS - somebody find out where this rom came from so I can give proper credit to the original developer(s)!!!
Edit: I'm told this is Drizzy's original Hero 2.1 (Thanks Chris!) with broken drivers. I'm going to try to contact Eugene to see what modifications he made and also check through online documentation to figure driver **** out. Props to Drizzy/Eugene - this build may be more or less broken (well, it was your first and you had plenty of updates to it since then) but damn, nice job on such a fast rom, its awesome even for alpha.
im a little scared to try it...so i wont zackattacks 2.1 1.1 hero is fast enough and stable enough for me right now.
Could you give us more information from where did you obtain it?

Yeah, I found reviews from this gamercore guy, but he doesn't say where he got it or who made it. He does rom reviews. You can find a bunch of his rom reviews on youtube - I doubt he makes them all, but I could be wrong.
He just review roms.. By the way this was uploaded last year must be 1.5 hero not 2.1 Old news

Could be - but I don't think so, this thing is old, uploaded last year, I can't get ZX's 2.1 hero to work and I haven't seen a ZX Team update on their 2.1 Sense threads on here or on androidspin, plus this one has a ton of extra features, like the animated browser progress bar from the original espresso rom.
seems interesting. can anyone confirm if this is 2.1 as OP suggusted or 1.5 as mediaman suggusted?
EDIT
just saw, OP just said this is 2.1 and updated today

Hi Noolis. Let me tell you that just like you, most people on the HD2 (including me) are waiting patiently for the Android OS to work as perfect as any other native Android Device. The guys on the main thread are working very hard for this to happen.
Just bookmark the following thread and visit it everyday. read the information on the 3rd post, and try their work in progress at your own risk. enjoy
this is the thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=719646

i keep gettin a green screen then it freezs, i downloaded the zip to the sd card then i extract all the files then run the haret and it goes all the way to the drawling of the android and about a min. after it gets a green screen , what am i doing wrong please
i got that green screen as well but after a new restart it worked perfectly...
And before that i did have the error message "waiting for SD card" for a long time.
Even I dont know how I get Android running on my HD2...
Maybe just restart and retry, who knows!
Good luck
Android probably won't be working right for a number of months. Its ok though. The apps are nice but WinMo is still ok for apps (no calc on droid is as good as the panoramic one, Igo Primo > Igo Motonav, etc). By the time droid apps are leaps and bounds better, android should hopefully be working great on the hd2.
I say, just peek at it once in a while but don't really worry about it for another couple months.
Can somebody make a video for the new rom out?
How to make the Anroid OS working on the HD2 - Step-by-step instructions, FAQ, Tweaks
UPDATED! Read the informations & FAQs below...
For those who have got difficulty in making the ported Android builds working on their HD2, here is a step-by-step description!
Accessories:
- First thing you need to have is: The newest Jmz Android dual-boot program, which can be found HERE! The program must have installed in the Device memory!
- Another thing you have to have is a freshly-formatted SD Card (I recommend 2GB or bigger, but in theory the Android will work with a 1GB or less (the least is 512 MB) card...)
- A ported Android ROM (e.g. 2.1, Froyo, Desire ROM, usw.) You can find some working builds HERE! (Desire ROM, Froyos, Ubuntu builds)
Instructions:
- Firstly, install the latest Jmz dual-boot app (v3) into the Device memory!
- Download the Android build and copy it into the ROOT of your freshly-formatted memory card! Normally you just have to copy the files into your card, but in some cases you have to copy the whole folder though... (for more infos check out the build's README file, if it has got one)
- If it's needed, RENAME the "zharet" file to "haret" and the only txt file (Unluckily I don't know what its name is at the moment, I remeber to "README.txt" or sgh, but now I don't have any builds in which the name of these files are not these names) to "startup.txt"!
- Instert the card to your HD2!
- Restart your device!
- When the boot-screen appeares and starts, choose the "Boot Android" option!
- Wait for the Android build finally starts up (it takes 2-3 minutes or more, it depends on the ROM)
- Use and enjoy it!
If you still have problmes with the installing, send a PM or reply a comment!
I hope I could help with this.
[Please excuse me if I made any grammatical mistakes...]
IMPORTANT! You're really ought to make a full-system-backup before trying ANY of the ported builds out! (I recommend the SPB Backup, but of course, another backup progs are such suitable... either of them will do it!)
For example one of these builds blew my Sense 2.5 sky-high, and unluckily I didn't do a system-backup before I had tried the ported Froyo build out. As a result, I had to modify and customize my Sense again...
And according to my friend, due to an Android build, his 3G-data connection setup has also been laid down... so be careful, for all that that the most of these releases are "harmless"!
UPDATE (updated at 07/19/10):
For example I've just tired this build: "New Froyo build by dan1j3l V1" (description and DL link can be found here...), and it works very well on my HD2! It is fast, smooth enough, all of the wireless connections are working (just like BT, Wi-FI), and so on... worth a try!
IMPORTANT UPDATES AND FAQs
Q: Some people asked me how could the sound working without starting CLRCAD manually...
A: The Jmz dual-boot application automatically starts it, you needn't do it manually!
Q: Why is it not necessary to run "(z)haret"?
A: The answer is the same: the Jmz automatically does it...
If you have still have issues with the Android builds (e.g. with the backlight), try out these tweaks:
- To prevent your device from freezing when it tries to sleep, set the screen's timeout to 30 minutes in the ANDROID settings!
- Turn off "Automatically adjusted backlight" in the WinMo settings (or in the Sense 2.5 settings, makes no difference), and set both backlight option to 100%!
- UNCHECK the "Dim backlight if device is not used for XY minutes" option, and "Turn off device if it's not used for XY minutes" as well! (At the "On Battery Power" or "On External Power" section, it depends on what power-option you'd like to use your phone in...)
If your build doesn't show, or shows wrong the battery-meter (e.g. your battery is fully charged, but the build shows a "?" mark insted of the precentage or ask you to recharge it, etc.) (... and if it's not able to handle it), download this file and copy it into the root of your SDCard, and replace the original with it!
DOWNLOAD (FTP Mirror)
Unconfirmed tweaks:
- If you are able to run the builds in no way, try to format your SD Card in FAT32 filesys. It answered the problem for some people...
- In theories, HSPL is needed to run the ported Androids, but this assertion is unconfirmed at the moment!
not being funny but shouldn't you have posted this in general as android isn't exactly a theme is it ?
Not it's not a theme but the other half of the thread section is Apps. I take Android as as App when it's not a flashed OS.
just installed android using this guide, very helpful so thanks.
im using 2.2 Froyo build by dan1j3l and it seems to work very well. data connection seems slower then on WM, the battery meter doesnt work (and i cant charge the phone or connect it to the PC) when the phone goes into standby, it keeps the backlight and buttons on. also have the issues that many users are experiencing with calls. also when i reboot into windows mobile, the time and date reset!
just to help people out that maybe dont have much experience with this (such as my self) maybe you could add things such as radio ROM requirements, and perhaps a list of things that arnt working accross all ROMs (i think the call issue would be an example of this). you can find it through searching, but its nice to have it all in one place
if it helps i think you need radio 2.08 or above but not 2.12 (2.11 is the latest radio that works), as well as HSPL installed. the 'green screen' seems to be a big issue, but i just removed the battery and re-inserted it and it worked fine

if you are using any of the android builds ie dans froyo or desire there are a couple of different zimages that you can replace in your android file. these will sort out the dimming isssue and have camera working, calls are perfect on my 2 different versions although 1 has accelerometer & no camera and the other is the opposite way round, battery is charging and indicators are working but i havent tried all the zimages to say what else they have up their sleeve so to say.
In regards to radio it needs to be a min of 2.08.50.* mine is 2.12 and calls are clear as a bell although browser can be a bit of hit & miss at times, it is getting better as different builds come out so well just have to be patient til a rom is eventually released.
i keep getting a green screen after the drawling of the android , it will drawl the android a couple times before the green screen pops up and freezes and i cant find anyone to help me out , ive read the directions but the last pass 24 hrs nothing but a green screen
Excellent guide Kromosome !
But I have the same issue as matthewharmon102.
In plus my HD2 it not responding after going to sleep ...
I'm confident that in the next release some of this issues will be solved.
Thank you guys

Hey everybody!
Some people asked me about the instructions, so I've modified my guide, and I wrote some important informations into it, and I integrated a FAQ section (that will probably increase), which is worth to be checked out!
I've also written down what you should do if your device freezes when you try to awake it, or if your screen goes dull after the Jmz starts installing the "haret", and tries to set the Android OS up!
If you have issues (especially backlight-issues), don't forget to check it out!
Hail Everybody!
As we know the Android developers are working hard to make it run smooth on our HD2.
There still bugs here and there but for sure we will get this great thing smooth like our WM OS soon!
Keep up the great work!
Guys,
I just became the, now rather dubious, owner of a gTablet that a colleague brought for me from the States. So far I am not that impressed. Several apps that supposed to be on there, aren't (no Kindle app out of the box, and no gMarket, despite what the manual says).
SO, I try the announced update procedure: fails.
First time fails at 8%. Second time fails at 13%, third time fails at 28%, fourth time fails at 4%. Is this a joke of some sort? Also the download is rather slow, as in, they use smoke signals to get the message across!
Does anyone have the update as a file that I can run as an apk perhaps?
I also have to point out that the GUI rather sucks. The settings menu misses about 50% of the Android 2.2 options (I have a HTC desire. Waaaay more settings options...)
After my complaints,lets get to figuring this out.
1) Can someone point me to the update pack if it is available for download via my Mac and can be installed using that ES explorer program it has installed?
2) Does the update provide Google Market or the original weblink? Does it use a different gui or still the same simpleton gui?
3) if not, is there a simple ROM flash I can do that gives me a different GUI and google Market?
I have flashed my HTC Hero before, which was not a big deal. However, I want things done simple, so if there is a good ROM with a nice GUI and simple instructions for a noob (I got two left hands when it comes to this sort of stuff), and Google Market, I would gladly see a link.
Any support will be very welcome!
you found the right place

Forget about the stock update and read about TNT lite or the vegan beta Rom if you feel experimental. You can get market flash and pretty much all the Google goodies.

A good start would be the following guide.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=865245
Understand that there are newer versions of the rom referenced, also there's VEGAn, a rom based on the Vega.
The Gtab stock needs a lot of help but it is a very good product with a little TLC and some grunt work:
Different devices/users different opinions. I am more than satisfied with the performance and feel of my Gtab without flashing a different ROM and what I did was follow these instructions:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=827209
I used root explorer instead of AndRootFile
Then I changed my launcher to ADW.Launcher
Side load flash (Instructions/.apk on XDA-developers)
Do the market fix to get all market (Instructions/.apk on XDA-developers)
add titanium backup
add ROMManager
Note: When I applied the latest update from Viewsonic (fixed the video driver, now AngryBirds, etc working) I had to re-root the device but everything else works fine.
Even fixed the issue with Gtab not seeing Ad-hoc network from phone (Instructions can be found on internet). Now my Gtab rocks, connects to my home Wifi or if not available connects to my Phone Wifi.
I can still launch the default tapNtap if I want to and Viewsonic upgrades apply fine. I had an issue with update also....Support had me set the sleep to "off" and then it worked fine, however the update image was posted on XDA-developer:
Bobtran,
Interesting perspective. Could you run Quadrant and show us what that score is?
I have had TnT up to 2.2 then swithed to VEGAn beta3 now. Q =2411
Most everything runs very very fast...
All, Thanks for the suggestions and the useful links . I might be flashing mine this weekend.
As for which ROM to use, what are the pros and cons for one over another? E.g. if I were to take the TnT ROM (I think it's at 2.4.1 now?), how does that fare against, say, the Vegan Beta4 (I think the latest is beta4 from what I read on some posts)
Bobtran, did you have a link for the update image? seemed like you were going to post it, but got cut short...
Guys,
I am trying to install Clockwork Mod v08 as per one of the links. First issue is that the tablet won't mount the SDcard to my desktop. SHouldn't be a big issue as I can coy/paste the required files from the internal storage to the SDcard via ESexplorer (standard installed on the gTablet).
However, how do I know it installed correctly? I don't see a new app and the boot install goes very fast. There is an opened box with an arrow pointing down and a load bar that seems to have green hashed filling, as if it's preparing to install. Then suddenly the splash screen pops up. The box with arrow and progress bar are there for a second or so, maybe 2. Seems rather quick. Is this correct?
EDIT: I wanted to say the boot screen didn't come up when starting up with vol+ and pwr, but just noticed, it does... so should be ok
well, seems I have been successful in flashing the new ROM (TnT 2.4.0) using CWM-v08.
Question though, the instructions in the TnT installation guide (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=865245) seem to say that the market fix only is a partial fix (note that the comment applies to TnT2.2).
Now that I installed the TnT2.4.0 ROM, I was wondering if the market fix is also only partial for TnT2.4. If yes, can I run the patch at
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=827209
and if yes, would that give me full Market access? If not, what's involved in getting full Market access?
As a side question that may not belong here but wouldn't be answered in the appropriate forum section: I have an XT701 phone that needs a Market Fix. Would the fix at
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=827209
also provide my phone with the Market? Just a side question, if no answer, that's fine...

Unfortunately I flashed to TnT lite yesterday so can't do that anymore without starting from scratch. Just testing the waters so to speak.

For the market fix, just see the link that I have in my first post, in the TnT Lite thread. That fix could also work on other devices. It's the same fix in the link you just posted.
