So here's the situation. I've got a Sprint Hero. I rooted it and installed MoDaCo, and everything was fine. Then I got this spedr.com/1iw9z beta 2.1 ROM just to try out (This ROM doesn't have copy protect apps working).
The problem arose when I went back to my Nandroid backup of MoDaCo (and my backup of the Stock ROM for that matter.) When I did that I couldn't access any protected apps on either stock or MoDaCo.
I thought that maybe this was from the 2.1 ROM but when I wiped and signed in with another GMail account I could view protected apps.
So all that is to say. Has anybody else experienced this problem and if so have you found a way to fix it? I'm thinking about contacting Google, but if they did blacklist my account there may not be much of a point, besides making sure I never get my account unblocked.

I am not aware of Google blacklisting people, so it's likely a bug. Calling them up might not resolve any problems since they're not bound to helping you if you've broken the warranty on your phone by rooting it, but it can't hurt.
Must be a bug, as mer6 suggested...
I've been running 2.1 ROMs (xROM & CaNNoN202 Complete) on my G1 for a couple weeks and my GMail account has not been locked out.
you have to do a complete wipe and reinstall a rom with all protected apps working...
sometimes its just a screw up
worst comes to worst if u cant get ur apps back...
u can change build.prop files if u knwo how to do all that
or just reset it to stock and sign into the market and then root it again
Yeah, I was inclined to think it was a bug because I haven't been able to find many othere people with the same problem. The thing is I've reflashed MoDaCo 2.2 Fresh 1.1 and I even went back to the latest RUU and tryed to get protected apps before I rooted again and there was still nothing. It doesn't seem like you would be able to get a bug in your Gmail account that would do something like this but I'm not very experianced with all this.
Signing in with another account after a wipe will fix the problem but I've got a few paid apps on this account I'd like to keep.
Changing the build.prop sounds like it might work, can you point me to any places that give any info on that? I've looked around some but so far I haven't seen much.
I doubt if google even cares. After all, they never manufactured any hardware nor do they care on where you use your gmail.
You may use your gmail account while riding a pink pony over the rainbow, for all that they care.
Haha, good point ady.
I think you are right because I just booted up my G1, something I should have already done, with King's 2.1 aosp on it, signed into my account and I can see protected apps.
So now I think I am down to a bug... now to see if I can fix it
If anybody has info on the build.prop file editing that would be helpful, going to look for it some more right now.
Just a quick update for anyone who is interested.
I changed the build.prop file but that didn't work, but just today I thought I would try another 2.1 ROM just for kicks. Sure enough, I flashed damagecontrol and all of my protected apps are back. Strange issue but I don't mind sticking with 2.1 I may go back to a 1.5 ROM just to see if damage control fixed something, or if it is uniqe to 1.5, but for now: Problem solved
This has nothing to do with Google blacklisting Gmail accounts. What's happened is your Market DB has gone out of sync from swapping your account between phones with different apps installed. The DB glitches if your phone and/or account says an app is installed but the apk isn't in /data/app.
It's a known bug on Google Support forums. To avoid I make sure I only have my Google account signed in on one phone at once and do not swap back. Always perform a wipe when changing ROMs. Keeping backups of your APKs with AppManager and using Recovery to both "wipe dalvik-cache" and "fix apk uid mismatch" could be used to solve this, maybe not.
We've all been running rooted phones for ages, Google doesn't care about it.
will someone post the new york times APK? its a free app however since I upgraded to froyo, i still have no access to copy protected apps and really dont want to root my n1 like i did my g1 and magic (dont see the need).. if any one could help that would be amazing..
NYT FC on Froyo
This needs to be updated (still isn't as of right now) -- it FC's on Froyo.
So I downloaded KIK and I noticed that the notifications use Push, but they weren't working on my phone. I was running cog 2.3b2 // i reformatted and tried again and same thing. I posted up a question on their forum :
http://getsatisfaction.com/kik/topi...tm_medium=email&utm_source=reply_notification
It seems like others on the leaked Froyo are having the same problem. Is it possible that Push doesn't fully work correctly on our leaked build of Froyo?
I'm having the same problem as everyone else in that post. I'm on cog 2.2 beta 7. The wife is on 2.1 and has no problems.
All of my push problems seemed to be related to not having a unique Android_ID. You can fix it by installing a rooted 2.1 based ROM pulling the Android ID and writing it down then installing the Froyo ROM of choice and changing the ID with a Market app. There are details how to do this but I can't seem to locate them at the moment.
Here is the thread I think you were talking about: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=810967
Yep that's it.
Since doing the fix I'm getting word feud notifications again.
Very cool, this fixed my Kik push notifications. Thanks!
No Problem.
EDIT: Mods, please move this to the main Charge forum, accidentally put this thread in the wrong place.
Hey all,
Of the people who use Google Voice, what have your experiences been? I have used every variant of the leaked GB ROMs available as of this point, 8:40PM MT, and GV won't work with any of them. Having GV installed, it will not load up my account when I select my main Google account on setup. Going back to any Froyo ROM it will work fine but GB is no-go. I have heard some people saying it won't work and other saying it works fine.
GV is my main method of SMS since I have my vzw SMS turned off and blocked so if I run a GB ROM, I get no SMS. I have installed GV both from Titanium and directly from the market with no luck. Has anybody figured out a fix for this? I know this is all still very beta and it could just be a flaw in the leak but I really would love to have some Netflix.
- Glitch
P.S. Yes, I have wiped cache and dalvik and still nothing.
In the same boat
I am in the same boat - 100% GV SMS realiant (no VZW SMS at all) and have had the same issues. I've tried installing from TB, the Market... everything I could think of and haven't had any luck. Because of this, and the fact that one of the other apps I use daily (VZ FiOS TV Remote Control App) does'nt work, I think I am going to be headed back to Froyo until the official release comes out.
Hey everyone,
I was wondering if anyone has gotten the Comcast Xfinity Play app working on any ofthe gingerbread CM7 roms. I haven't had any luck yet. It's running well on my rooted Nook Tablet and my Samsung Galaxy S4g (don't remember which rom it's running). It's also working on all of the ICS builds that I've tried. I would really like to get this running on GB!
EDIT - Well I had the day off and I played around with various builds. There does NOT to seem to be a CM7 rom that is capable of using this app. The funny thing is it doesn't ask for root access through SU the way it's suppose to so there is no way to choose deny. I even whent through SU and chose deny as the default preference and still no go. The app does however play flawlessly in every single ICS build that I've tried. There is more content on Netflix so I'm going to stick with gingerbread but it would be cool to see the app eventually work.
I wanted to edit this instead of deleting in case anyone else has the same question!
