I can't stand this Att branded market. A lot of my apps disappeared, even some I just installed 2 days ago. Is there a way to swap it out with an unbranded market? I'm rooted stock. Atrackdog tells me there is an updated market app but you know, not for us locked on Att branded. Should it be a simple swap of apk's in the system?

it's not the apk that is branded and you are likey up to date on the market .apk. it is something in the rom that check with the sim to see what carrier you are on. and some regulation is done with market keys in the build.prop. infused is suppoed to be unbranded but on my phone (and im sure many others)it is not. im not sure why it didnt work. thre is a market app called market enabler where you can change the branding to t-mobile or verizon by faking a sim key but im not sure what you need to change in the rom to block the market from detecting it altogether. one way to avoid the branding is to put the pone in airplane mode and turn wifi back on, then pen the market connected through wifi, in airplane mode it cant detect the sim key and will result in an unbranded market.(not to say you wont have some regulation due to ro.build.fingerprint in build.prop)
if you cant see market enabler you can still log into gmail on a full web browser(either a pc or the phone) and google search for android market enabler. find a result that starts with market.adroid.com and open it. on a phone it will bring you to the market page, on a pc it will bring you to a web page for android where you can push the app to your phone remotely.
Hey thanks for explaining that and yeah, airplane mode makes it unbranded. I clear the cache and I guess it rereads the installed apps and shows them all again.

becuase att wants to hide apps from you that they think you shouldn't have...
Wow my bible app wont update but when i do the airplane mode deal and go unbranded ir does update. Well maybe have to go to att by the house and talk to them lol maybe get a gift from then NOT.
I try airplane mode and I have 2 new updates. One for Devil Ninja and Google Maps.
So in response to those of you who have a *branded* market, *and* are running a custom rom which is supposed to have a unbranded market. Try the following diagnostic:

If you have a branded app market:
1) Go to Settings->Applications->Manage Applications
2) Go to Market, Clear Data, Force Close
3) Go to Google Services Framework, Clear Data, Force Close
4) Long Press Power Button, Choose Reboot
5) Unbranded app market

Of course this will only do you any good if you are running a custom rom, but afaik it should fix it 100% of the time in that case. I had the same issue after my most recent reflash to infused. And yes, I realize OP wanted to remain stock, I am reposting this for the other people who are on infused and still suffering AT&T branding.

I had the same problem but now sorted. Type in google the problem and you will get an answer. I think you have to clear google talk or google mail storage in applications, then manage applications all in settings. Hope this helps.

You have to reinstall gtalkservice.apk and Talk.apk. Follow this thread for instruction

All of the Google related software is integrated into your account which in turn is how you purchase/use the market.
As for your issue, have you made sure your APN settings are correct since rooting your device? Make sure you've done that. As well, check the original root thread for a market fix in case that's your issue as well.
Edit: I just saw you're using Rogers. Make sure you use the x10a fix for the market. Also note that when I applied the fix, it took over 24 hours and clearing the cache several times before it started working properly. I really strongly recommend you check your APN as well though. Rooting/debranding the x10a from the Rogers network clears out the APN settings and most have had to put them in manually.

I don't know....I just know that I couldn't download anymore from the market and the reinstall of those 2 .apk fixed the issue.

I faced it once long back .. but after that I rooted my phone for almost 3 or 4 times changing the firmwares and then the problem just disappeared.
Yea, APN setting entered correctly. I might just remove them and enter them again through. Thx for all the suggestions folks.

I since narrowed it down to my wifi connection, because it never seems to happen while on 3G. Could be something to do with my router settings. I'll try a static IP again, but I don't think that will help much.
Anyone have any suggestions?

Im on a local Hawaii 3g provider.
I'm running 2.1 and I'm rooted. I did a NAN. Backup and flashed vanilla with Google to my hero... rom installed fine and everything but i have NO MMS OR SMS period..neither with handcent nor android messenger app. I also have no avn settings in network options to put my carrier info in..
So is vanilla froyo 2.2 basically broken for me? Again i am NOT on sprint i bought my phone for $350 new and i pay $60 a month for un limited everything ...
Rom looks great and is super fast on my hero but i must have mms and SMS, looks like i might have to flash back to my backup aka 2.1

Sent from my HERO200 using XDA App
Nah, I have had that problem before. Best thing you can do is to flash another rom. Specifically one for a regular and similar provider to yours.
ONE THING:
Did you back up your oem 2.1 before flashing another rom? If you did, nandroid back to it, and then type ##3282#. Type view mode and write down EVERYTHING you see! Now if you want to stay with 2.1 stock then go ahead. If not, flash another rom besides CM6(or whatever you flashed) and if it's not AOSP, then simply do the ##3282# in the rom of choice and put in all the info you wrote down. Then you should be finished.
AOSP does not include options to change mms settings but it's possible you just have to find the right xml file, decompile it, edit, then push it back to the rom. I have been meaning to do this myself because I am also not on sprint but have the same issue on AOSP.
HOPE THIS HELPS!

A shot in the dark try six 0's for the password.
Also try damage control v1.1 see if all works if so then it's the froyo rom.

here ya go..
APN settings are for MMS... nand back to stock, and go onto the market and download APN backup and restore, then backup the APN with it to SD card, then nand back to your rom of choice and download APN backup and restore and restore it and walla MMS. as far as SMS goes, did you load a PRL from your specific carrier to the phone? If not, then use the stock rom and do ##PRL# and load a carrier specific PRL for your carrier to get SMS..
as far as the password is concerned install alogcat from the market and...
Go to your dialer and enter ##DATA# or ##3282# which will bring up the EPST menu
Once the menu pops up just select "View Mode"
At this point you will see a screen with 3 selections.
From here either press and hold the Home Key and select aLogcat if you ran it before, go to your tray and run Logcat.
After opening Logcat it will update, once it finishes press "Menu" and "Pause" the log.
Then scroll until you see a group of entries labeled "I/EpstBroadcastReciever" which should be green
Locate the line that has "MSL Code=" at the end of it
works most of the time.
and one last note, all of these are to be done in a 2.1 ROM...

Unbranded handsets still say 'HTC' instead of My Apps - looks like it's going no matter what
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=15401386&postcount=15
Ive just noticed an app in my app drawer called Vodafone Rescue. Im sure it wasnt there before. As anyone else got this?
Found its description HERE.
I think it can be uninstalled but im sure ive never noticed that before.
yea you are right this wasnt there before, I noticed this on my first sensation when I sent it back and got a new one it wasnt there, it appeared when I had to restart my phone, the Vodafone Branding came on the market and the Rescue service also appeared.
I assume its remote access if you are having problems, voda can take controle of your phone and sort any issues.
Can it be related to which SIM card you have in your phone? I have a Vodafone branded Sensation but still with the SIM card of my current operator (going to Vodafone in a month) and in the market it still says My Apps.
I would assume that vodafone send down some form of 'Ping' at some point that adds Vodafone Rescue and changes the market menu link, but I cant be 100% sure, but I would assume it has something to do with the sim
Unbranded FW now says 'HTC' instead of My Apps but you can still get it by going Menu>My Apps
cheers eddie, i feel the removal of apps on android is a drawn out task, I know using launcher pro enables you to drag and drop apps inot the bin to uninstall but I would think this should be a standard feature
Just had this chat with Htc:
I do have rescue but i can't see any changes to the market, and i have restarted phone recently.... Hmmm....
the quicker we get s-off with perma root, the better. I dont like how vodafone have the ability and right to install their crap without permission or warning, on a device I own and that I have paid for.
Custom unbranded rom please!

I think you can get titanium back up and it save everything data and apps then you can reinstall everything. It has to be the paid app the free only supports one app. I could be wrong but someone else can confirm what im saying.

It only applies if there are framework mods or if the base firmware version is different. System app data is usually incompatible and in some cases user app data will cause issues.

TiBu supports all apps backup, both paid and free.
Paid one does additional tasks like batch restore without prompting for each app and data.

Well your JUST TRYING out a Rom, why even set your phone all the way back up......just load up the essentials and go at it, how fast is the email, how good is the network, browser speed, sound, bugs or whatever....then move on to the next Rom.
i guess some would see that as a lot of work, but if your not willing to do it.....then you will never really see what good and bad with the Rom.
Make Nandroids and Flash away. at the current moment i can swap between, Miui, Cm7, Infused 2.2.3, and even Hellraiser combos in a matter of minutes WITH ALL MY APPS AND DATA by just grabing my nandroid and flashing ( Of course you will want to know that you cant just go flashing any nandroin on top of another nandroids all willy nilly....so make your sure your current Kernel matches up with the nandroid you plan on restoring.
