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.

And for editing you need "root permission"

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.

Hello everyone,
I am trying to run some of my application that I wrote on my new HTC One X from eclipse but I think since I am using Ubuntu then probably I need a driver.
If this is true then can anybody help me with that.
any suggestions will be great help
thanks
drivers?
nope.
just install adb the correct way and all is good
hey there,
i guess i am missing something, because my eclipse on my ubuntu doesn't see my one x... actually it sees something, but the name of the device is like "?????????????", and android version is "unknown"... i don't know what to do... any ideas what should i? thanks for answers

Configure your udev rules. Or run as sudo
Sent from my HTC One XL using Tapatalk 2
thanks i configured udev rules. i can't post link to the page i found tutorial on, because i have only 2 post yet, but it can be easyly googled
Sorry guys for not replying since I wrote this post, I had some stuff and papers need to be done.
Anyway,
Pirateghost
I was origionally having adb and the whole Android SDK installed in ubuntu but after the upgrade I guess I lost some of the SDK stuff so you were write, I had to reinstall the SDK and adb was part of it.
Thanks.
The unswer that solved my problem with Eclipse and my HTC One X is here
you need to configured udev rules
and in my case I went to this website and I got it working
ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1918512
but it may be as easy as the following, I will put the rules I used for my computer
gedit /etc/udev/rules.d/51-android.rules
and then past the following line
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ENV{ID_VENDOR_ID}=="0bb4", ENV{ID_MODEL}=="Android_Phone", MODE="0666"
It should be only ONE LINE.
I hope this help as it does helped me
Thanks again for your help.
Do you think there is chances that this ubuntu for tablet will be available for TF101? or is it possible to make it for ourselves?
It is available, look in the dev section.

A place to start perhaps! Any takers?
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Touch/Install
Lets do this.
I started looking at it this morning and they are releasing a porting guide tomorrow morning. I've already unpacked the images for the manta (nexus 10) and began poking around. I think we can successfully do this....since we've already got an armhf version started we could port just the interface and modules over on the base we already have.
I'll make a thread in the dev section as soon as I get more information and possibly a compile job started.

I would be totally interested in this. And available for testing anytime!!!!

Cant wait for this!! will have to get studying and try help out the cause lol, btw imagine it combined with this https://wiki.linaro.org/LEG/Engineering/Kernel/GRUB
Porting guides up here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Touch/Porting
It would be very nice to see a port to the TF101 of this project. If the standard Ubuntu ARM release has been ported I hope it will be feasible for the Touch release as well.
Trying to port.....
Hello all! I have the tf101, and have tried the porting guide, but is says that it is not supported.... any ideas for workarounds?

from what im reading if the device has a cyanogenmod 10.1 rom officially or unofficially then we should be able to port it im working on it myself as well, im not sure we have 10.1 tho i know we have CM10 just not sure about 10.1 but if it can be done it will be. we already have CM10 and we have 4.2.1 jellybean so i would think CM 10.1 is possible and therego ubuntu touch....id be willing to bet that if you give it a week or 2 the dev section will be graced with a port.
EDIT: update there is a ew CM10.1 rom up now and that will open the way for this to be ported...just saw it in dev section...maybe a few days rather than weeks the porting guide is rather straightforward and theres not much to it...its really a glorified theme just running in a container on top of android even using the android video, audio, and other hardware HALS and libs(i do believe) i am only a beginner developer so dont quote me completely...

Won't it have to be an official 10.1 CyanogenMod build? Last I check (5 minutes ago) they only had CM10 on the TF101? It could technically be done with an unofficial rom but it would make it a lot harder than you suggest. Please see the CyanogenMod Device Info (sorry I am a new user so I can't make the link click-able wiki (dot) cyanogenmod (dot) org/w/Tf101_Info ).
prepreprealpha
Just tryed To install that preprealpha ubuntu touch which ends in a black screen. All nandroid backups Seem To be gone. Sdcard is no longer available in cwm.
Any ideas?
Thx
just for the curious:
i used lumpy kernel and no-names cm 10.1 device tree, had to do a little patching and this is the result:
www .youtube .com/watch?v=Dp7Tt7W7-3s
I am not allowed to post in the dev forum, so i put it here Wifi is not working, and i think its related to /proc, when i have fixed it, i will publish the changes to github..
p.s. no links allowed either! remove the blank spaces

Maybe somone else gets in this situation. i guess my mistake has been wiping system completly with cwm-touch
anyway, anything has been in internal Storage seems to be lost.
Now i flashed RogueXM Touch v1.5.0-R1 with easyflasher, in after booting into it i were able to access Android images placed on my MicroSd.
At least CM10.1 is booting now.
until i get my 10 posts ill post here
i sort of got ap scanning working, i messaged jholtom already how i did it. it involved some manual manipulating, next i try to sort it out
and again...
i have modified rc script to include my "fixes", resulting in working wifi. i will push my changes so it can be used anywhere. to setup the network connection i used phablet-network-setup included in built tools to copy the wifi settings from my laptop. keyboard still isnt useable.
here is the result:
youtu .be / KHpHp21aylU
the browser feels quite fast
and this is the install log from ssh server:
pastebin .ca / 2327138
again i am not allowed to post urls :/

wow great work! I have posted on your behalf in the dev thread, build up some posts and get yourself over
Again nice work
I try to work close together with jholtom, he will incorporate the needed changes
Hello, first of all, forgive me if I'm in the wrong forum section; I'm sorta new here, and this is my first topic.
Second of all, I'm not an experienced android programmer and I'm also a teenager, so sorry if I sound like a noob; dont expect me to know all that you guys suggest. Also I have some basic experience with Java coding. (sorry if this is all off-topic but just giving a heads-up and letting you know so that you can maybe change your answers a bit so I can understand)
But ANYWAY, what I'm trying to do this for is to eventually port cyanogenmod to my device.
I currently cannot post links because I'm new here; look up "building android from source", and it should say "Getting Started: building android from source" at the fifth link from the top (xda-university).
I'm stuck at "installing repo and syncing".
What url should I put in "URL to android manifest"? (And yes, I am using Terminal in an Ubuntu VM) And now that I think of it, it should be some link of cyanogenmod but my device isn't supported; no repository for my phone. Correct me if I'm wrong. If it helps, my phone is a Samsung Galaxy Admire 4G (SCH-R820).
Again, sorry if I sound like such a noob, it's probably because I am.
Any help is appreciated, thanks!
EDIT: Sorry, just found out I was in the wrong forum section, can someone delete this thread or show me how to do so? thanks...

bad forum
When you don't get replies, don't just say xda is a bad forum.
The forum isn't the "thing" answering, it's the users. .
Anyways, I have an answer for your problem. And I know what exactly you're talking about.
The reason your "tool" shows an error when it compiles the .apk is because you made an error somewhere in the process of editing. This happens frequently, the easiest way to figure out the cause for this error is to check the error log. It shows precisely where the issue is.
I would help you out by making it for you, but there is two reasons I cannot. One - its too late here and I can't get on my PC, and Two - If we do it, you don't learn anything if you're building or cooking roms.
So what I would like you to do is, get a log of the error you're getting and perhaps I, or someone else could help you.
Also you can "bump" up your thread, read the stickies for rules on this. It'll help. Bumping the thread pushes the thread near the top of list so people see it. You already did this. But in a slightly different way.
