Noobie here so please be kind.
I have been reading posts for only a couple of weeks and was wanting to try tnt lite 4.2 but what I can't understand is it really needed after the OTA update. Is there any real advantage? I get the handango market and play "angry birds" just fine. I guess what I am asking is it still worth it?
I have install cwm but just wanted some input before I pulled the trigger.
I have not done it
I am using their stock ROM without any issues for the past month now. Switched to the classic home and it has been working great. Yaa there is no android market, but there are lots of other places to get apps and you can easily side load apps and they have been working great for me! I don't think I will be changing the ROM on mine (maybe if someone gets honeycomb going on it then I might reconsider).
Hope this helps!
I use stock 3588 with the enhancement pack. Stablest I have seen yet. Ran both Vegan and TNT Lite and liked them, but little intricacies caused my to go back. Sounds like there is an OTA in the works that looks pretty sweet.
TnT seems to be cooking up an update that, if released, will add a LOT of the speed enhancements that TNT Lite has had for the last 2 months.
You'd still want a custom ROM for full market, root, adhoc and a few other things - but I agree that TnT is getting better with each update they make. I hope that continues.
I'm also using stock with enhancement pack. Market is still somewhat limited as compared to my Droid 1 but you can side load.
Problem with side loading is the malware. Even GAM has been getting some nasty bugs. TNTlite has been very stable and faster. I ran stock until a week ago.
I just ordered one of these. I didnt do my research until after I bought it. I didnt realize it doesnt have the android market. So, I'm guessing it doesnt have the google apps either??? Like no gmail, youtube, etc?
Can you just get the market apk and side load it and have the full android market?

Just spend some time with the stickies and read through various posts here. All of that and more are covered. Stickies are your friend.

Is it possible to get the market on here on the stock rom, or does it have to be a custom rom?

No need for that if all you want is market. Either install the enhancement pack, whuch gives you market plus more, or get the GoogleServicesFramework.apk and Vending.apk and put them in /system/app.

It seems like that next OTA might be the one that gives a reason to upgrade, assuming the update doesn't have the problem w the boot thing.

Not my experience: enhancement worked, but very limited, moving to tntlite gives probably 80% vs 1%
Thanks I did install the enhancement pack and got the market up and running.
WHERe do you bet enhancement pack. Thanks all

Listen to me very carefully. It takes about 30 seconds of your time to fix the market.

And it starts! LOL the non researching 10k+ crew are probably flooding the xda as we speak trying to figure out why this thing isn't what they expected
I like to think of it as a Pinto engine in a Ferrari lol, You just need to swap out the rom with tnt lite or another great rom and you will be juuuuuuust fine. Most of all roms come with market prebuilt in. If you want to stick with stock Viewsonic 2.2... well then IDK what your thinking lol
is there a way to get Gmail contacts and Google Calendar without flashing a different rom. I plan on keeping the stock rom most likley BUT really want gmail-contacts-calendar sync with google . ( dont care as much about market as I sideload)

Is anyone having issues not being able to get their paid cachemate back? I flashed Aloyious and could only get the demo...I tried flashing pancake as well and no luck. I ever tried emailing the developer and none of his suggestions worked.
Any ideas?
Not a cachemate user, but thought I'd let you know I've been using c:geo recently and absolutely love it. Best caching app out there imo.

not what he's talkin about.. c:geo is completely different from cachemate...
as for your issue OP.. have you tried flashing a 2.1 ROM and then trying it?? when i flashed DC v1.0, i was able to get my cachemate back with no problems..
I have not tried any 2.1 roms as I wanted to wait for the official update. I am really liking the rom I have now.
it shows for me on fresh 2.0

LOL, sorry, got that confused with a geocaching app
CacheMate dev here. This is not an issue with CacheMate itself. This is an entirely different issue concerning paid apps and the Market on some ROMs. There has been a lot of discussion about this in the various forums. I wish devs had even the slightest control over how their apps were downloaded in the Market but sadly, this is not the case.
How would I go about updating my paid apps so they work with 2.2? Is it as easy as just recompiling them with the 2.2 SDK? Or do I need the apps source etc. I am tired of waiting on some devs to update apps 4 weeks later...
Any kind of hope for an answer? I am talking about my own apps i have bought and i don't plan on sharing. Just would like some help. Google didn't turn up much.
why would you have to update apps you purchased? the developers update them, and most of them have already since 2.2 has been out for the n1 for a while now.
Not my nexusmod live wallpaper... its been 4 weeks and not one update to it. I wanna update it myself. Cause i own it and i can...i just don't know how.
not sure what you're doing wrong but I see it in the market for me? is this not the same app? did you run the market fix for the froyo leak that's in the dev section?
Um did i say anything about it not being in the market? It fcs when i try to use it with froyo.
aren't all those LWP's included in CM6? I would imagine you could just install the livewallpaper.apk from it and you'll have them.
it has nothing to do with the livewallpaper.apk... it's not coded for froyo. maybe a livewallpaper.apk from a 2.1 will 'patch it' but i dunno.
and it didnt' work in cm6 either, btw.
I need a good app dev. Its customizable nexus like wallpaper except you can customize it a pretty good amount which is why i bought it. Way better then stock .apks. i might ask stericson.

i agree completely and the nexus revamped pro looks like complete **** no matter what settings u have it on. I realllly miss nexusmod wish the guy would update it.
I'm using cm6 and in my market I can't find games like Angry Birds, Flick Kick field goal...I'm sure there are others that aren't showing. Does anyone know a fix for this? Its a great RoM but I need my market to work =\
The market works fine with cm6..As far as Angry Birds a lot of people have reported not being able to find it on other ROM's not just cm6.

I am having same problem. I cant find any of those.
I'm having issues just downloading/installing apps from the Market on Fresh 3.2
I have them all on Baked Snack, but as soon as I switch to CM I can no longer find them.

Crap, so it is a CM6 issue then =\
That kinda sucks
I just flashed CM6 and can no longer find Angry Birds in the Market. Plenty of them around my house, though. Evil things.

Im about to switch to fresh or something...
but you can use that script to remove sense stuff...
Thats my plan.
what the F88K i just noticed this as well :/
Yea, it's pretty gay..
Going to a sense rom and removing sense just isn't the same as using cm6 ...this rom gives me by far the best performance and battery life out of any of them! Hopefully it can be fixed

indeed ! i hope its fixed
There's a workaround of sorts I used. You have to use AppBrain.
Get an account at appbrain.com.
Install the AppBrain Market and Fast Web Install on your phone.
Find the Fast Web Installer in your app list and activate it.
Find Angry Birds and whatever else you want that's not on the gapps market that you want at the appbrain website and click install to phone.
It should automatically be pushed to your phone and ready to play
The only problem I've encountered is that you can't update it from the phone since it's unable to take you to the market entry.
Hope this helps.
Why don't you just download apk from developers site or switch back to sense and use TB? You can also use regaws new zip tool to backup.

What about using TI backup while on a Sense ROM, flash CM6 and restore with TI once finished. Would that work?
I may end up doing that... but its just a pain. How do we know that these 2 apps are the only ones not showing? There has to be others that aren't .. I don't want to have to go through all that mess whenever a new app that I'd like to try gets released..
I do appreciate the tips tho, I will prolly go that route eventually...but if it doesn't get fixed, then I guess I'll have to research the best sense rom/kernel ><
Add this to your build.prop file:
ro.build.fingerprint=sprint/htc_supersonic/supersonic/supersonic:2.2/FRF91/218634:user/release-keys
and comment out (#) the one you have. This was done on the 3.28 leaked ROM to fix missing market apps. I don't use CM6, but it the ROM base was updated to a newer version then this *might* be the problem.

So much for that idea....
So I've installed fission and a few different themes, but now i've noticed that the youtube app is back to the old verson, not the new one with the really nice UI. And that *might* just be a dealbreaker for me.
Is it fission or one of the themes?
And how do I get the new one back (if that's possible)?
Thanks!
I don't see any reason you couldn't get an updated copy from the Android Market? Fission isn't tied to any particular version of any particular app, as far as I know.
I tried looking for it in the market, but it doesn't seem to exist?
Woah! Nevermind! :S Yesterday it told me that youtube was up to date, and I kid you not, it just updated as I was typing this response
That's kinda freaky...
Well COOL!
Thanks anyway!

I'm not sure how well my translator works, but it might be accurate enough.
So, bjballar41, uhh in regard to Sense and to the Market/Play question, is your Girlfriends phone rooted?
If the phone is not rooted, she might want to check for software/firmware updates. Sounds like she is still running froyo, android 2.2.
Uh, ROM version aside, there's a d/l for the play store.apk. Google it. I did that way back, b/c I was still on market 2.5 (I think)

But is the play store an improvement? I recently went back to a nandroid of the ROM I found most stable. I have the old market back and am loving it compared to the more recent veal they have foisted upon the unsuspecting masses. Yes, it may be a good idea to have the apk, but I won't install it unless my market stops working. My 2 cents.
Edit: Veal? Really? I typed "crap". Lol, autocorrect.

As it is stock ATT never updated the Inspire to anything past 2.3 with the older sense. It didn't even get the Sense 3.0 update HTC pushed out. This is the reason foe not having the lock screen. Unless you root it and flash a custom from it won't happen. The market maybe OS version dependet

I don't know about better. It looks like the 3.x series of Market. I will say that the 2.x Market I had had started having random times where it wouldn't connect.
