[HOW-TO] Fix market for Froyo

This should make Android Market work on all Froyo :
1. Get your androidId:
Install Android SDK (Link here)
Launch Android SDK and AVD Manager (tools/android)
Click on Available packages, then select Google APIs by Google Inc., Android API 8 and install it
Click on Virtual devices, then on New..., and select as Target Google APIs (Google Inc.) - API Level 8
Launch your new virtual device (click on Start...)
Login with your Google Account on this virtual device (Go to Settings/Accounts to login)
Enter this command with adb :
adb -e shell sqlite3 /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db "select value from secure where name='android_id'"
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
This command return your androidId.
2. Set your androidId on your phone :
Set USB Debugging on your phone
Plug your phone to your computer
Pull settings.db :
adb -d shell
su
cp /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db /sdcard/settings.db
exit
exit
adb -d pull /sdcard/settings.db
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Set your new androidId :
sqlite3 settings.db "update secure set value='your_android_id' where name='android_id'"
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Push your new settings.db :
adb -d push settings.db /sdcard/settings.db
adb -d shell
su
cp /sdcard/settings.db /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db
exit
exit
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Reboot your phone
Install Market 2.2.11 (You can find the apk here)
Known bugs :
Sometimes the market doesn't work anyway, reboot your phone may solve the problem

I'll try and report back Thanks for your help

I posted this yesterday, for me it unfortunately worked once.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=10634550&postcount=371
For me it only works once after reboot. Then download isn`t possible anymore.
But i got my androidid from an old backup where the market was definitly working without problems.
Does the androidid change between 2.1 and 2.2 ?
I don`t think so, but that could be one possibility why it only works once for me.
Do you tried, if it works over some reboots and more than one download ?

It works for more than one download and after download with Market 2.2.11
androidId seems different between eclair and froyo, I got a 19 digits int-value on eclair and a 16 digits hexa-value on froyo.

Ok, thanks.
I also have an int for androidid from my Backup. I will have a test with the hex id and report.

sqlite3 settings.db "update secure set value='my_id' where name='android_id'" returns an error

Can I get the error ? It may help ><

I'm not sure how it sounds in English, but a rough translation from my language is ""sqlite3" is not an internal or external command..."

sqlite3.exe if you're on Windows maybe, but check your PATH variable (sqlite3.exe is in android/tools in the SDK)

You can also set the value with root explorer and sqleditor.
whoa, i now took the value from the virtual device and now after reboot all colors are inverted.
Looks really strange.
After booting into Launcher, colors reverted to original.
But for the moment market seems to work after wiping marketdata and marketcache. Did 3 downloads and all 3 worked as they should. Will have an eye on it and hope it stays working.
But i had a look at my androidid from 2.1. It was also a 16digit hexa. Thougth it would only contain numbers, but also contained letters. Failure by me.
Edit: Same as before. Market stopped working. Every download hangs in status beginning downloading but never starts.

[Guide] [Android 6.0+] Change Device Model Name (Additional Steps Required)

Starting from Android Marshmallow and above, simply changing the ro.product.model entry in /system/build.prop will not change the device's name everywhere. The build.prop change can only be seen in Settings > About phone.
Introduced in 6.0, Android stores your device name in an additional location, in addition to the build.prop entry. It is stored in a database in your phone's memory. The value in the database is populated the first time you boot up your device (after installing ROM for example), so even if you alter the device name in build.prop, apps can still detect your "old" device name through the database entry.
In the past, the database was stored in a file, but since Marshmallow Settings Storage (com.android.providers.settings) stores a bunch of your phone's settings in memory. Here is how you can change your device's model name.
1. You should modify the ro.product.model entry your /system/build.prop if you haven't already:
Example:
Code:
ro.product.model=My Phone Model Name
2. Next, connect your device to the computer, make sure you have ADB installed.
Alternatively, you can use Terminal Emulator on your device. Run the commands below as root user, but do not include the adb shell part.
3. Execute the following to see the device name stored in the device's Settings database:
Code:
adb shell settings get global device_name
It should return your current device name, <DEVICE_NAME>.
4. Replace the existing model name with a new one:
Code:
adb shell settings put global device_name "<NEW_DEVICE_NAME>"
For example, if I want to change my device name to My Phone Model Name, I would issue the following command:
Code:
adb shell settings put global device_name "My Phone Model Name"
6. Now check to see the device name is updated (same as first command)
Code:
adb shell settings get global device_name
It should now return the updated device name. E.g, My Phone Model Name
Next, reboot your device and apps should correctly detect your new device name.
I hope this helps! Feel free to leave any questions or comments in this thread.
Additional Resources:
@piit79 has a similar tutorial for changing your device's ID, also for Marshmallow and above:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/ne...android-id-t3219345/post63168322#post63168322

Good tutorial, but I would recommend using simpler ADB commands.
For example, change this:
adb shell content insert --uri content://settings/global --bind name:s:device_name --bind value:s:<DEVICE_NAME>
to this:
adb shell settings put global device_name <DEVICE_NAME>

Thanks, that makes it much simpler. Seems like the put command overwrites the existing value for you.

wow, good job, this looks really good (though i don't need it right now, it is good to know it's possible). my question is, would something similar be possible for the name of the rom and kernel? i'd like my bank's app to think i'm on stock, it does check safetynet but even with magisk and passed safetynet it doesn't work on any other rom than stock.. thanks in advance for your answer!

Google Photos
Will this enable Google Photos full size backup if I rename my 6P to Pixel XL?

This looks like it only changes the device name, that we can change through settings anyways. Editing the build.prop changed the model, but nothing else has changed that I can tell. For example, my Note 3 is running an S7 Edge port, the device and model name have been changed back to SM-900V (for the Note 3) but the product is still showing hero2ltexx. I realize that's just another build.prop line.
There is a huge possibility that this is doing just what it was intended to do and I daydreamed some imaginary far off results, but I figured I'd list it in case it was any help...thank you

Hi, the ROM and kernel information are not stored in the global settings database. However, you can try modifying your ROM name in the /system/build.prop file.

I'm not sure, but I think the device name must be set to Pixel XL when you set up your device for the first time. This is why full-size Photo backups work on custom "Pixel" ROMs (for non-Pixel devices).

I'm sure you can do it with terminal emulator on rooted device, so no ADB and PC is needed.

You are right, if using Terminal on your device, you must be root user and use the same commands but remove the adb shell part.

I got this:

If '--user NUM' is not given, the operations are performed on the owner user.

i had the same question. in fact this is the main reason I wanna change my device model number now my question is... If i wanna change my device model from "oneplus 3" to "Google pixel" i just need to use the command "Pixel XL 9000"? right?
.
and another question... what's with the" Pixel XL 9000"??? can't i just simply use "pixel/ Google pixel" cause, as far as i know, Google also offer full size photo backup for both pixel and pixel xl.

I have changed it using build.prox but now my device is Automatically switching off and on how to solve it.....

Dual SIM switching using Tasker

Wouldn't it be cool to be able to automate the swicthing data between SIM 1 and SIM 2 using Tasker given the location of the device? Let's figure out how to do it together. Do we need root? ADB command comes to mind...

@MishaalRahman any ideas?

What do you mean by "switching data?" Sorry, I usually don't use two SIMs so I'm not sure what you mean.

The dual sim version mha-l29 has an option to set the default 4g slot from within the settings menu
I have found already a system variable that can be changed using secure settings plugin for tasker, and running the adb command adb shell settings list system I can see that the variable switch_dual_card_slots does change from 0 to 1 when doing it from the ui, but when done from a put command nothing happens. Any ideas?

I am using the shell command successfully on my Honor 6X.
First I set switch_dual_card_slots to 0 or 1 , and to commit I simply kill the phone process, which will automatically restart instantly.
It is not the most elegant solution, but works flawlessly for me.

Not sure if you got this figured out but you need to be rooted. Then in adb shell/terminal you must type "su" first then do the pkill

GUIDE: How to avoid the Captive Portal Checkin to Google

Dear XDA community,
this my first own thread and guide so please be forbear with me
And i hope i choose the right section
As the topic in the thread says it handles about the Captive Portal Checkin done by Android.
So first some general info about this.
1. What is the Captive Portal Checkin?
Every time your android phone connects to the internet via mobile connection or wlan it sends a request to the following url:
http://connectivitycheck.gstatic.com (Google URL).
After that your gets device gets http 204 answer from the mentioned url and at that point the x-symbol at your network icon in the status bar disappears.
The reason for that behavior is that Android wants to be sure that your connection has internet access.
If you block that request via AfWall for example the dns fails in some cases and you can't go into the Internet.
Silly.
2. Why is this problematic?
That's a good question because this answer from Google doesn't much hold data. But every time when this connection is done Google get the following information:
- IP-adress
- Time of the internet access
- the Browser which you use
In my case i use custom roms and no Gapps to avoid Google as much as i can. So i don't want that "ping" to Google.
That's the reason why i searched for possibilitys to get rid of this ping. And thanks to a german security and privacy specalist i found a possibilty to avoid the ping to Google and have working Internet, too.
3. What did that guy do?
Very simple. He just started his own Captive Portal Checkin Service. So no need for Google anymore
WHAT YOU NEED:
- Computer with installed ADB
- Active USB Debugging at your phone
- At least Android 7
TESTED ON:
I tested his instructions on my old Xperia Z3 phone (CarbonROM 7.0 based on Android 9, Custom Rom).
IMPORTANT:
You need to execute the commands with a booted system (valid for both posts where i write the instructions). It DOESN'T work in the terminal of recoveries (e.g. twrp).
Thanks @jaysir for the information.
INSTRUCTIONS:
Android 7:
1. Connect the phone with your computer
2. Activate ADB and test the connection with the "adb devices" command. If your phone shows up go to step 3.
3. Execute these commands in your terminal:
=> adb shell 'settings put global captive_portal_http_url "http://captiveportal.kuketz.de" '
=> adb shell 'settings put global captive_portal_https_url "https://captiveportal.kuketz.de" '
Android 8 and 9:
1. Connect the phone with your computer
2. Activate ADB and test the connection with the "adb devices" command. If your phone shows up go to step 3.
3. Execute these commands in your terminal:
=> adb shell 'settings put global captive_portal_http_url "http://captiveportal.kuketz.de" '
=> adb shell 'settings put global captive_portal_https_url "https://captiveportal.kuketz.de" '
=> adb shell 'settings put global captive_portal_fallback_url "http://captiveportal.kuketz.de" '
=> adb shell 'settings put global captive_portal_other_fallback_urls "http://captiveportal.kuketz.de" '
Well that's it. When you want to revert back just execute the commands again with this url:
http command: http://connectivitycheck.gstatic.com/generate_204
https command:
https://connectivitycheck.gstatic.com/generate_204
Link to the source:
https://www.kuketz-blog.de/android-...204-http-antwort-von-captiveportal-kuketz-de/
If i make any typos tell me

Thanks again to the german security researcher and his community there is a way to deactivate the captive portal checkin completly.
It works on Android 7 and Android 8.1/9. But in comparision to the method in my first post this needs root access on your phone.
For all new users:
I recommend Magisk to gain root.
So now the instructions:
For Android 8/9:
1. Open a terminal on your phone (via terminal apps).
2. Type the following command:
- su
- su
- pm disable com.android.captiveportallogin
- settings put global captive_portal_detection_enabled 0
- settings put global captive_portal_server localhost
- settings put global captive_portal_mode 0
3. Then reboot your phone (via hardware buttons, system or terminal app).
For Android 7:
1. Open a terminal on your phone (via terminal apps).
2. Type the following commands:
- su
- settings put global captive_portal_detection_enabled 0
- settings put global captive_portal_server localhost
- settings put global captive_portal_mode 0
3. Then reboot your phone (via hardware buttons, system or terminal app).

Very nice and very important tutorial!
Just for completeness; and I don't claim and definitely don't have a copyright. I reported these procedures already here end of April in the thread "Enhanced Privacy, Security and Battery Duration! My Measures...". I mentioned it also once here in the AFWall+ thread.
I'm very glad that these procedures get repeated and repeated again. From my personal point of view it's so important to develop the stance to not allow Google to collect our data. I've subscribed to Mike Kuketz and am very grateful for his job and dedication.

As far as i see it the adb method (post 1) could working because according to the Internet the device runs Wear OS which is basically a android version for smartwatches.
So in theory you can activate USB debugging and redirect the captive portal to mike kuketz service as long as the commands are accepted.
Regarding method 2 i can't say anything because i don't own a smartwatch and have zero knowledge whether root is possible/how it is done on those smartwatches (which is needed for that method).

Just as you said, I enabled adb debugging, opened a terminal session from my mac to the watch and sent the commands from version 1 and they were both accepted. I should be able to check if it has worked tomorrow so will keep everyone updated when I've tested it.

OK. My watch appeared to connect to wifi but then said "No Internet".
I've now done the same mod to my phone, deleted the supermarket wifi I'm trying to connect my watch to from both the watch and the phone and will try again. I'm also wondering whether haveing BT on at the same time is causing a problem so I'll try with it on and then off and see if it makes any difference.
Thanks again for giving me hope I'll be able to connect WearOS 2 to a captive portal wifi network.

Further to above, unfortunately still no joy. Watch says "Connected" for the briefest moment then "No Internet" and won't go any further.
Never mind.
Thanks again for your work for the Android community.

In my opinion yes. The mentioned security expert has a good reputation afaik and he didn't make any things in the past which give me a reason to distrust him.
And in the near future he will work for german commissioner for data protection and freedom of Informationen. So i think he is a trustworthy person.
In the privacy policy on his site for the captive portal check service he writes that no information at all will be logged.
Of course you can ask him directly via e-mail if my words don't soothe you; i can only share my opinion about that guy

Does this still work on Pie?
On my rooted Galaxy Note 10 (Pie, 1st Sept. Patch) it does not.
Btw. there is a typo, should it be "settings put global captive_portal_mode 0"? This is what I tried. If I then check the values by "settings get..." I get
1: 0
2: localhost
3: 0
So the values were taken, but it still tries to connect to captiveportal.kuketz.de or google (whatever I have set). If I block it, I will get the exclamation next to the wifi symbol.

When it' still not work after the reboot and the commands are typed in right (=> no issue notification in the terminal comes up) the Samsung stock rom could be the problem.
In that case i would recommend to use kuketz server.

Yes and even after several reboots I get:
adb shell settings get global captive_portal_detection_enabled
0
adb shell settings get global captive_portal_server
localhost
adb shell settings get global captive_portal_mode
0
But, if not opened via script, I can see 185.163.119.132 (kuketz) being blocked by AFWall and the exclamation mark. So I open it with
$IPTABLES -A "afwall" -d 185.163.119.132 -m owner --uid-owner 1000 -p tcp -j ACCEPT
This works but I would prefer no C-P check.
One off-topic question:
Do you have an idea how to open the IP 0.1.0.1:0 in AFWall? It is used for VoLTE, but even I use th script line above (with 0.1.0.1) it still gets blocked. I have to open UID 1000 completely...

You wrote 'adb'. Does it mean that you tried the commands in the adb shell from your Computer with connected phone?
That could explain why it isn't working. The commands must be typed in directly on the phone for deactivation.
I use the App 'Terminal Emulator' from F-Droid for this.

You could try it with that app once more. Apart from that i'm running out of ideas atm.

Sorry, but no. I don't use VoLTE or Scripts in AfWall+.

Programming Question: Android > About > HW Version - How to get this Programmatically

I am trying to get the HW Version off a device programmatically. I can get the model and manufacturer all day long. But I can find no code to pull the HW Version. I am on a custom device running Android 7.1.1... Under Settings > About Tablet > HW Version = v1.0 .. I need to be able to pull this info to show in our app that runs as the Launcher. I have full root access.
Thanks in advance for any help. I will be off digging through the Android source code looking for clues. Hopefully, I get a response here fast though, and save me some time

May be this value is stored in Android's settings.db, IDK
Following ADB commands will list all available settings:
adb shell "settings list system"
adb shell "settings list global"
adb shell "settings list secure"

Thanks!! I'll check it out

ok, checked all three of those, no Hardware Version. Thank you for trying though!

Nevermind this, I found it was a custom field added by our Hardware Manufacturer. Thanks all
