Modified build.prop for FULL Market Access - Kindle Fire Themes and Apps

I have tried the Eris Market Fix, along with multiple tablet build.prop's. It seems to keep until the Market force-updates. Is there a build.fingerprint that anyone has found that will show titles like Dead Space, Plants vs Zombies, etc.. "on the Android Market". NOT interested in moving TB backups from stock!

why not using tb works so easily!

well, installing eris market fix just bricked my fire
edit: luckily i had TWRP installed and was able to fix. my build.prop disappeared altogether, so i just restored it and i was back up.

TB works great for most apps. It does not work for "Kindle Fire Edition" apps downloaded from the Amazon Market app from stock "for me anyway".
And I would rather not flash back and forth between roms just to get an app that I couldn't otherwise download.
I'm still working around some issues right now, but I haven't gotten far. I've tried every density setting their is, along with a few more fingerprints, but it isn't working for me. If anyone gets this going, please let me know.

Well, I played around with the build.prop and found a great way to open up the Android Market to show a significant increase in the amount of apps.. see here:

It worked great for me but I didn't wipe my system cache and everything turned out just fine..thank you for sharing.

[Q] Still not seeing gtab on market

Using stock TnT and I'm still not see gtab show up on my market account, help
So you do not see your gtab at all in your settings like in the pic below?
i don't see mine either. i only see 1 device and it has all the apps from both my Droid 1 and gtab combined into 1 device.

same here.. actually i DID see my gtab on the web market but realized that i wasnt getting all the apps to show up in the market so i went ahead and redid the market fix on my tab and the gtab no longer showed up on the web market and it combined all the apps i had on both devices under my droid 1

hmm i actually did the market fix too about 2 days ago. i reflashed to vegan b5.1 and i noticed that some apps weren't showing up on market so i did the fix. maybe thats what's causing the issue? i'm gonna change the build.prop back to what it was or maybe even reflash vegan again to see if it fixes it.
Mine has gone now. Perhaps the update to pershoot's kernel changed something. That or another attempt at the Market fix (to get My Apps) back.
My Gtab doesn't show up at all, but my rooted Droid 1 (I'm assuming) shows up three times! Unknown device from Verizon... 3 times over. So far I've sent apps to all three devices and received none.
Some other "id" or identifier would be helpful for identifying which devices it thinks I have.
It's also weird that the phones seem to be showing up with no make or model -- likely because everyone I've talked to has it rooted and non-stock ROM'd
The Market seems to "inventory" your apps every so often -- but I'm not sure what the frequency is...
After re-doing the Market fix, the entire "My Apps" section is empty except for purchased apps...often stays that way for a while, then mysteriously everything pops up and works fine...
Sometimes, installing a free app seems to kick start it -- but not always...
I am also observing this issue.
So I gather the problem is that the Market Fix+build.prop fixes we use to get our 95% market apps do their job well, but seem to screw up Google's ability to identify our tablets?
Maybe that's why the Market Fix works in the first place - Google no longer knows exactly what device we have, so it just sends us everything.
Has anybody gotten a Market Fixed tablet to consistently show up in the Android Market web list?
I can't wait for CM7 to mature a bit more and to get some good driver support - no Market Fix required means all this stuff should just work...
Anyone not seeing their device on market.android.com, have you tried flushing your browsers cache?
I can see the emulator "device" I did the Market hack on and push apps to it (although only the very very few apps the device itself can see on the Market app).
I'm curious if flushing the cache of your browse would help. I had to reinstall VEGAn on my tablet yesterday morning.....and the evening before I was able to see it on the web portal to the Market and push apps down. After reinstalling VEGAn it was missing. I tried logging out, logging in on the web, tried downloading a few things from the Market on the tablet...etc....still couldn't see it.
I fired up a different browser on my PC and had to login to the Market with that one and my tablet was listed. After that...going back in on my regular browser I saw my tablet listed. I'm wondering now if I flushed the cache of my regular browser and then tried logging in if that would have shown it.

I have tried a different browser. tried the market fix two more times and still not showing up. not a really big deal for me but it would be cool if this was working.
I tried clearing cache and no luck, stock gtab still not showing up, not up on Android enough to install custom rom's, hope we can get honeycomb upgrade soon...looks awesome.
I think the answer ha been posted elsewhere, but just go into the Android Market app and download an app. Then check the settings app on the web store again. That worked like a dream for me.

That suggestion doesn't seem to work for most people. Definitely doesn't work for me, I tried it several times.
Well, lo and behold, my tablet shows up in the market again!!!!

Mine too now. Looks like Google fixed whatever issue was causing our "market fixed" G Tablets from not showing up.
Must be something I'm doing wrong cause I'm still not able to download, just say's no android phones associated... Hope everyone enjoys the market.
Mine just disappeared. Was listed for the last few days. I just bought something too and it still not showing up as associated on the web market.
Weird..

[Q] Help me restore my app data via Titanium Backup

The other day, I wanted to flash the GB leak in the dev section. I'm currently on the stock, rooted rom. So, I downloaded TB, free version, from the market.
I went on YouTube, to watch a few video tutorials, and see how everything works. When I felt confident, I went into the batch section, and selected "Backup all apps + data".
There were only 5-6 apps I wanted to backup, mostly games like drag racing, plants vs zombies, and angry birds. I flash the rom, and go back into TB, and restore my apps + data. 2 apps didn't transfer, saying there was an issue with the file. No big deal. They weren't that important to me, anyway. Angry birds went through just fine, as did Grow. The only one that didn't work, that I really wanted to work was Plants vs Zombies. It "restored" successfully, but it would force close as soon as I click to run the game. I tried uninstalling the game, reinstalling it. Running it, to make sure it worked, then go into TB, and restore data only. Same thing. Just force closes right away.
Based on my description of how I backed up my data, and how I restored my data, is there an "a-ha!" moment in there, as to why a couple apps would restore just fine, and one wouldn't restore successfully?
Might be in the way they restore to the differant UI's. You went from Froyo to GB. Might have to just restore the app, without data . Also, IMO I'd purchase the paid version of Titanium Backuo.. Worth every cent. Also very cheap for what you get. Saved my toast more than once. Just my two cents.
Don't have a solution but I can confirm general probs restoring apps I got from Amazon. Recently moved all apps to sd-ext and most apps survived fine but the Amazon apps almost all had to be reinstalled fresh, had force closes after restoring data. Lost my Plants v Zombies progress too

Thanks. This is not really the news I want to hear. We should contact devs, and ask them to add backup functionality into their games.
I've restored amazon apps before. Trick is, install from amazon, open app and finish one level or so, then restore "data only" from titanium. Worked fine for me then.

I've got plenty of apps that do auto backup, there's no reason they all shouldn't.

Lets Golf 2

I actually like and paid for this app but since rooting and installing GummyCharge I don't have it and can for the life of me figure out how to get a working copy. I could use some help.
Thanks,
Brad
Did you pay for it through the market or through the app?
Through the App. I can't find it listed on Market. Couldn't find it in V-Cast Apps either.
Try going to the game's website (http://www.gameloft.com/smartphone/lets-golf-2/) and logging in with whatever info you used during the purchase. They should have a record of it.
Even if I bought it through Verizon? It was billed to my Verizon Wireless account.
The developer should still have a record. They had to be the one to bill it to verizon and had to have known what number to bill to
Charge Posted
The record of us buying it isn't the problem, the problem is that with the rom(gummy charged) it's taken out and also it's not in the toolbox, I want it too, I paid for it, I got my media hub back from the toolbox, but I can't find let's golf 2 either, maybe I can find an apk somewhere.

I have the exact opposite problem you have. I can't seem to get rid of it. Every time I uninstall it, it reappears in my settings>applications>manage applications list (but not in the apps page where you run everything) I can't actually play it though... and I don't know where the apk would be.
couldn't you pull it from one of the stock roms around. Isn't there a a full odin leak?
You could always just google around and find a lets golf 2 apk file...it shouldn't be too hard honestly.
I did find a copy and installed it. the only problem it didn't fit the screen. I don't know how to pull a file from a ROM.

You're not the only one with that problem lol. I've flashed roms, restored apps, and then go into manage apps and am like WTF! that wasn't on my phone when i created the backup.
I have the opposite problem as you, I want to get rid of it. I uninstall it but every time I reboot my phone it comes back...any suggestions? Already tried deleting it with titanium pro and still came back.

Bump. Just wondering if anybody has figured out how to delete this app - no matter what I try it keeps reinstalling itself. On gummy charged 1.91 EE4, with pbj kernel. I have tried tb uninstall, uninstall from task manager, freeze in tb. It is really annoying. Thanks for the help.

I have a thought. Go into System/App folder. See if it is there. If not look in the Data/App folder. I believe the name is something like com.gameloft.android.GAND.GloftLG2P.ML-1.apk. If it is rename it or delete it.
I deleted it out of the dalvik cache, the /data folder and the /preinstall folder. After a reboot, this is what shows up:

(dropbox as I don't know how to use the forum app to upload photos)
I can't find it in any more folders....it's super annoying...

Yea it isn't in there. I have never had thus happen with an app before. I deleted my titanium backup of it also. I guess I will just try and ignore it....

permanent delete of lets golf2
Has anyone figured out how to delete this game yet? Like other people the game just keeps coming back after I reboot. I'm sure there are other more important issues out there but if anyone knows how to get ride of this game I'd appreciate it.
Thanks
Update - downloaded root explorer from the market
1) goto preinstall/apps
2) Delete the game
3) reboot
4)Delete from your backup aswell
Looks the game has been permanently removed. found the info on android central post by noobsickle

Market problems since rooting :(

Ever since i followed the root procedure here, none of my installed apps show up under Market>My Apps. It searches for a second, then comes up empty. I can install apps just fine if i search>install. I've cleared the data under Settings>Applications>Market numerous times, uninstalled updates, etc. Any ideas? All the searches i've found just say to do what i've already done...
Wierd, mine show up just fine
Download and install ROM Toolbox and fix permissions
If that doesn't work try out the new version that was just released, seems to be a little better on mine. Hopefully you get it fixed

I must be blind, but I don't see fix permissions anywhere in rom toolbox. I've seen it in CWM and Rom Manager before though. I may try the new market if I feel froggy, but it's getting dangerously close to le zonk time for me.
I ran fix permissions from rom manager and tried the new market. No luck. I really don't wanna wipe this thing. It may have broken when I modified for wifi tethering. I can't remember when it started
Im on atrix 4g and it hasn't been working since 6pm today. Just blank screen and at 12 my market updated. On the new market when I go to my apps it says your apps will show here.
Sent from my MB860 using xda premium
I had the same problem with my Samsung captivate. I had to use the app brain market to push all the updates. I'll go check my atrix 2, hopefully I'm not once again plagued with that bug.
Ok so i wiped everything (after backing up of course), and am trying again.
1) Works unrooted, fresh out of the box. "My Apps" shows a few apps i have paid for but not installed.
2) Market updates itself, now "My Apps" empty.
3) Double checked, installed Angry Birds, backed out and still nothing.
Thoughts? Also, last night I tried the latest Market that was posted on Androidpolice and it did the same thing. I do NOT want to use Appbrain.

looks like i'm not alone...
UPDATE: Exchanged phone at lunch today, still same thing after the new market updates.
Hmm, I've been on the Market a few times and i'm still on v3.1.5....not complaining, just an observation. I dunno man, sounds kinda funky to me.
Go to settings. Manage applications. Find market and press uninstall updates. Fixed the market problems for me
Sent from my MB865 using xda premium
i had this problem on a certain rom on my x10. clearing cache AND data in settings > apps > market worked for me. you may need to also clear cache partition or dalvik cache as well to make it work.
try using this to clear cache, clear dalvik after clearing data and cache from market under settings. reboot. see if that helps.

Stock Apps - Frozen/Uninstalled

So with my rooted KF w/ Titanium Backup, I am wondering which apps can be frozen or uninstalled WITHOUT screwing anything up..
So far, as far as stock goes, I have the following frozen:
Amazon Kindle
Amazon MP3
Amazon Video
Audible Fire
Email
Facebook
Help & Feedback
IMDB
Kindle Tutorial
Pulse
Quickoffice
Shop
All seems to be fine, but I am experiencing a lot of lag with GoLauncher. I have yet to find out what the cause of the lag is.
If freezing these apps do not cause the KF to have issues, would deleting them have any negative effects?

I have a rooted KF and using Titanium Backup, I deleted the IMDB stock app. Now I'm trying to get it back but can't figure out how to do that. The downloadable app from the Android Market is not compatible with my device and the same goes for the version from the Amazon AppStore (go figure). So it looks like I'm stuck for now...
Just FYI, deleting it doesn't screw anything up, just don't try to get it back! haha
If you performed a backup, you should be able to restore it. If you want, I can back up my copy with TB and send it to you. It should restore just fine as long as you are running stock..
enkode, could you use TB to backup The Kindle Fire version of Impulse then send me the backup? I'd appreciate it a lot.

Hey buddy. I'm strictly cm7 now. I don't even have a stock rom backup anymore. Sorry!! But, I do remember seeing a thread in the themes and apps forum or maybe the general one of a member that backed up and shared all of the stock apps in one singular zip. I would try to track that post down. Good luck!
