Firstly appologies if this is in the wrong place, i was torn between android forum and X10 forum, but the questions are generally about market and android OS, so posted it here.
How does the market determine your location? I was wondering if this was done by your physical/3G/GPS location or if it was done by rom version? the reason being is I finally ditched o2-uk's crappy "unknown" rollout schedules which I remember with the X1 as being non-existent and debranded my X10. The file I debranded it with was titled Generic UK so i fullishly went ahead with it, however now, several of my previously installed apps, whilst showing up fine on appbrain, do not appear in the market.
Is there any way to determine for sure which version of my firmware I am running, whether it is Generic UK or actually something else?
Thanks for any help, and again, appologies if this is in the wrong forum.

build.prop
sorry, i should have mentioned im an absolute android newb, and that means nothing to me
There is a file on your phone that is /system/build.prop
There are many things controlled here that identify your phone in different ways to the network and internal android applications including the market. You will need to search documentation for your area and how your build.prop needs to be modified for your network or try to get the build.prop out of the stock rom and have a look at what the differences are.
I'm in Canada so I don't know what settings you should use. Have a search on Google for build.prop and you may become an expert fairly quick
If you need anything else just keep asking. Ill monitor this thread and help if I can. I'm still fairly new myself

Brilliant! thanks for the in-depth advice on build.prop. I've found the file and coppied it over to my SD card ready to view, however typically a google for "build.prop" "Generic UK" gives me one result..... this thread!! lol
Anyhow, I will do some more research and see if I can find the standard properties expected for my build.prop
Hope all this worked out for you.
I have noticed no activity in a while here so I will discontinue monitoring it unless you need something more in the next 2 days.
build.prop galaxy tab 10.1 canada
can you please put Build.prop here so we can download it? 313mb so to huge for a single file.

It also uses the location of your connection. At least, that's what they've told me before... My sister in law has a different market when she's in Miami. Different apps to acces. Here in holland, she has the same apps as I do. But, with a motorola droid from verizon.

Hey every sirs.
Does your new android phone( When you buy a new phone ) already have android market? or you bought a new phone, and then you have to download android market apk to install android market?
and I want to know where can I get android market apk install file???
you understand what i mean sir??
Thanks you so much!!
I went to market.android.com. and clicked my market account and then clicked settings, it showed me:There are no Android devices associated with this account.
and then I checked the help. It seems mean, I need run market on my phone first. but my phone does not have android market.
and search android market apk on google, there is no answer, and no website have an android market apk file download..
In USA, the phone already have android market?????
Yes, almost all Android phones have the Market pre-installed. I'm surprised that yours doesn't. What kind of phone do you have?
You don't need to download anything 'usually' to get to the 'android market'... unless of-course it's your phone By the way, which phone are you using?
Your phone probability has it
As a default, your phone probably has the market apk.
Otherwise, you can download it in the following site.
You can search market.apk in the internet.

Hey guys
Thanks you very much.
My phone is zte x876
Maybe in usa all phone have market.apk
but I am in china, and as i know every android phone in china does not have android market.
I tried to search market.apk, there is no website can download...
Thanks Choonsung, the website you gave me is good
I downloaded it.
my zte x876 said: There is a problem parsing the package when i install the market.apk
and then I downloaded another apk file from your site.
This time it works, my phone showed me 'Installing', but after this, it shows me 'Application not installed'...... so I dont have a market in my phone...
my android is android 2.1 system.
you guys know why??
and who can please give me a market.apk for android 2.1 system to [email protected]
Thanks so much!!!
Hey guys, I searched why we dont have android market.
now i known the reason that why we dont have google android market in the phone. Because the big government company (called China Mobile) build their own market (called Mobile Market), The ****ing Government company want to make more money. but everyone knows Mobile Market is totally ****ing rubbish, I never use mobile market...
We love google, but our government asked google leave china!!!!
So far , for what I know they all do.

Hello devs!
ROM Toolbox is a rom manager plus much more, and we want your rom in our app. All roms will be *completly* free to download through our rom manager.
Why should you want to put your rom in our app?
Because your rom can meet a much larger audience with more potential downloads/donations for you.
We want this to be as easy as possible for you.
To get the rom on ROM Toolbox, please do the following:
1) Fill out the file below with the roms/zips you want to have.
2) Upload this file to your server. That way you can be in control of what ROMs show up at all times. Otherwise we can host it ourselves.
3) Send us the link to this file on your server.
4) Send us a summary of the ROM.
5) Send us the name of the ROM.
6) Send us the devices you support.
Code:
<roms count="1">
<rom>
<category>Category of zip</category>
<name>Rom name</name>
<info>Rom description</info>
<PhoneModel>DROIDX</PhoneModel> <!-- in build.prop file. see ro.product.model -->
<SubFolder>name_of_folder_to_download_to</SubFolder> <!-- should not have spaces -->
<url>http://jrummy16.com/jrummy/roms/liberty/downloads/Liberty2.0.1DX.zip</url><!-- your direct download link here -->
<md5>85222c22c2e44903b0ded06fe61b6d46</md5> <!-- if you don't want to put md5sum leave as * -->
<donate>http://bit.ly/donateliberty</donate>
<screenshot>http://i52.tinypic.com/29e4rba.png</screenshot>
<IsDependent>false</IsDependent>
<dependency>com.license.package</dependency>
</rom>
</roms>
Note: you can add as many zips/roms as you want.. just add another section right under the "rom" entry. If you need any assistance filling this out feel free to ask and we can help you!
Ideally we would love for you to maintain your own download link. If this is not possible, please contact us and we'll do our best to help out.
ROM Toolbox is going through a major overhaul in the near future and we want you to be a part of it.
Thanks!
(Mods, wasn't sure if this should go here or in development. Feel free to move it.)
Already got a few ROMs in our Toolbox. Send us your info to get yours in as well!
Just emailed you
Your best bet would be to contact the CM team as they are mainly the only ones that use this type of option. Most developers won't use it.
Had to dig to find this
Got your email and will respond soon. Thanks man!
Great tool. Just added my ROMs and themes to ROM ToolBox and it works great. This will be a nice tool to give users of my ROM an easy possibility to update.
Thank you jrummy16.
Hello jrummy16,
Can't see my ROMs anymore in the ROMToolBox. My themes are still there, but not the ROMs. Checked the XML file, but it looks good. All I can see in the ROM List is "Fonts", "Google Apps" and "Superuser", but not a single ROM. I checked my ro.product.model on the tablet and it shows the correct code.
Any idea?
Getting ready to set this up for my AOKP port for the Droid RAZR (CDMA) but I had a few questions first.
1. After completing the XML file, is the file name supposed to be anything certain? Or can I just save the file as "KOA_AOKP"?
2. It says from Step 3 on, to send you information. My question is where am I sending this info to? There is no email address posted or anything to contact you.
3. Lastly, the lines that say:
<SubFolder>name_of_folder_to_download_to</SubFolder> <!-- should not have spaces
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
and
<category>Category of zip</category>
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Could someone please elaborate on these lines. Sorry for being so nitpicky but I really want this to work and don't want to mess it up. My questions for those 2 lines are:
What does the line mean by "name of folder to download to?" Does this mean the name of the folder I want the download to create on the users phone?
"Category of zip" for this, would I just put "ROM"?
Again I'm really sorry for asking for so much clarification, just wanted to make sure I get this right and my users can get their ROM from this great source! Thanks JRummy and team for all you guys do!
Dear all,
I want help of you please
i am not developer i want to know only below points
1. we can port different devices rom to our device which having same chipset
2. we can port other devices rom to our e.g. samsung galaxy s4
3. if i want to make rom from scrap then any tutorial available
Please revert
i am not a developer
i want to develop something for my galaxy r becuase i dont want to loose it for some softwares
AFAIK
1. Yes
2. Yes if 1 holds. (correct me if i'm wrong)
3. this will help if you are certain to contribute towards development.
Hope it helps..!
1. Yes. The only one reasonable enough would be O2X. I tried it, but it didn't work. It uses really different nVidia libs.
2. Yes, just look at the XWLSD port. But you can't replace all libs because of the lack of NEON support. Also pay attention to the screen resolution. You will have a massive work with resizing if porting from the GS4.
3. There are many, just look into general Android dev forums, but most of them isn't applicable to the SGR.
(What Nikhil provided is a really great and huge article, hats off to the writer, but it's about application development and not porting.)

1. Use these Guides.

2. I am not sure how to do.
3 & 4 need to build your own Custom Kernel using the sources (if some thing goes wrong you will brick your device).
5. Just delete from System Folder.
Introduction:
My name as you may be able to tell is Francesco, and I am a long time user of the Samsung Galaxy S Series Devices. My current device is the SM-G935W8. I have just requested Developer Access on Android File Host so I can give access to everyone for the Stock Firmware for the SM-G935W8 of which I grabbed from Samsung SmartSwitch on Windows. I am an experienced programmer in the Languages C# and Java. I have made a few personal apps that aren't even worth mentioning.
Goal:
My Goal is to contribute and dedicate myself to the Canadian Users because I have noticed the lack of support towards them. I am currently working on a ROM based on the stock firmware of which I am trying to release. I am going to need help on it as I am rather new to this area of Android but nonetheless does not mean I am terrible. I have done my research and have gotten some of the tools that are needed and have already successfully built a ROM just not able to boot it but I believe it is because I missed a step with the boot.img. The main tool I am using is the one that Superr has created called SuperRs_Kitchen. I am currently using v1.0.5.6 as the newest version I was having issues with.
If anyone has any questions, please feel free to ask me and I will try and answer them to the best of my ability.
I will provide an upload link once and if I get approved for requesting developer access. If I don't I will then use a different mirror to host it.
Please be patient, and I do not have an ETA on when the link will be up.
Welcome Francesco! Nice to see some W8 support here! Really looking forward to see development from you

When SmartSwitch says it's downloading your firmware:
If you open up the run dialogue, type in %APPDATA% you will be brought to the Roaming folder. Click in the address bar to actually go to the APPDATA Folder, click Local, then go into the Temp folder.
Sort the results by last modified.
You will see one that has a random generated name and is a .tmp file. Keep your eye on this file and the size. Keep pressing refresh. Once that file is done another file will be created above it with the exact same name but it will be a zip file. Keep an eye on the file size as for this one as well. Keep refreshing until it the file size stops changing. In my experience it's still the exact same size as the tmp file, but just wait about 5 seconds after it stop changing, then copy it to somewhere like your desktop.

Thank you. I know there isn't much support for this device, but the ROM I believe the one that is called Renovated Edge does work on the W8 version, but it will change your CSC to XAC and it was a real pain trying to get it back to RWC. Actually took me a couple days to figure out how to do it.
