[Q] How to get a fuller market. Already did fix. - G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I've got a Viewsonic GTablet running TNT Lite v 4.4.0 (which includes the mahimahi fix). When I first ran the market app I saw several THD (tegra hd) apps but saw no Dolphin HD Browser. After the fix the browser is there but my HD games seem to be missing. Is there a solution that will allow both to show up in the market?

My experience is that if you do the fix and just clear the market cache you get things like Opera Mobile (great browser BTW, Hulu is watchable in it unlike Dolphin). If you clear the market cache AND the market data (along with the other steps) then you get Samuari 2 and a few other items, but you do not get Opera and other items.
Very puzzling. What's worse is I'm not sure the things you already have update if they are not showing up in market so every once in a while you have to go do the market fix without clearing the data, let it update stuff. Then do it again with the clear data (you have to reaccept the terms but you don't lose anything -- you will also get prompted about personal voice on search etc. again). Then you can let those apps update.
:-(
Its strange because the fingerprint string does not change (although I've tried that too). This is with Vegan 5.11.

I have been having similar problems - never tried to clear data on the market because all of the instructions say not to. Any other downsides to clearing data on the market app?
I have been looking for a way to load Tegra HD apps and it seems like this might work. Previously I only saw them before doing the market fix and then they never came back.

I have not had any trouble clearing the data. If it worries you, use Ti Backup to make a copy first.
The only thing I've noticed is afterwards you have to accept the google license agreement again and your free apps might not show up for awhile (seems like installing anything out of the market makes them all come back).

Thanks! This fixed me right up. I backed up Market and did a wipe data after that. Saw the missing apps right after I went back into market and accepted the terms again. I assume doing the market fix will set things back the way they were - need to try that still.
It is strange how the pre-fix and post-fix markets have some exclusive apps... if anyone can figure out how to get all at once that would be great.

I had similar problem. Fixed it by this:
use adb pull the /system/build.prop file,make changes in these lines in the file:
ro.product.name=passion
ro.product.device=passion
ro.build.product=passion
and push it back using adb, reboot......., BTW you might want to backup initial build.prop first.
Then you will have complete access to Market. Credits go to Isira, he/she posted it in TnT Lite long thread. I am loading with Vegan now, but it also works for me.

Can you see Samurai 2 and Launcher Pro at the same time using this build.prop fix? We have been discussing build.prop changes in a related thread in general - no luck with similar build.prop fixes:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1019891
I will probably still try out this build.prop change though - anything that adds a few more apps is worth trying. Not sure if it fixes this specific problem though (please confirm if it does for you or not though).

No, unfortunately after doing the clear cache/data, the Tegra 2 apps are still missing, but with this fix, Adobe Flash, Air, and ADW.Launcher will show up with Launcher Pro.

I'm new here. I'm doing some searching, but I'm trying to find a thread that discusses my client/device setup.
- Fedora x86_64 release 14 (so I can install Eclipse easily)
- Viewsonic G Tablet with VEGAn-Tab 1.0 Beta 5.1.1
Is it just a matter of installing the Android SDK with Eclipse and setting up adb? Should I worry about anything being that I run Linux/x86_64?
Thanx in advance!

I've been doing embedded Linux for awhile -- my own rolls (uBoot and some JFFS2 storage management), as well as Montavista (Red Hat-based) and even worked as a FAE for TimeSys for a bit (Fedora-based "reference" builds). But my primary role has been Linux consulting for the last dozen years, just intersparsed with Linux (and VxWorks) embedded roles.
I've have experience with Eclipse, and it seems the Android SDK is designed around it (this is my first exposure, yes, I've ignored it until now, other priorities). It shouldn't be too difficult to figure it out, and should be fairly straight-forward and more native on Linux anyway (especially with a cross-compiling GCC and set of targets, like Fedora for ARM). I just assume most documentation here is geared towards Windows users, so I'll try to add any for Fedora and other Linux users if someone hasn't already.
I also have to beware of any gotcha with running Linux/x86-64. I've run into some in the past, even when I've used a chroot environment with 32-bit libs. Linux/x86-64 and Windows x64 take completely different approaches, where Linux/x86-64 is 64-bit native by default and adds some 32-bit support and Windows x64 ships 32-bit compatibility by default and an increasing number of 64-bit native libs.
Updated
Okay, it's fairly straight-forward. The Fedora 14 x86_64 repos still contain all of the i686 toolchain required, and other than the required WST objects, the Eclipse x86_64 packages in the Fedora x86_64 repos contain all of the other objects required. I just had to enable my Eclipse 3.6 (Helios) milestone repo for my user's Eclipse configuration, along with adding the ADT repo, to install the missing objects with ADT. Since this is done as my user in Eclipse, it is only for this user (it would be nice if Google packaged DPKG and RPMs and offered APT and YUM repos, respectively).
I'm almost there.

This won't help the Linux users but I just got ADB setup on Windows 7 x64. Had some trouble using the shell commands so I used QtADB to pull off build.prop and put up an edited version:
http://qtadb.wordpress.com/
Was very easy once ADB was setup per the forum instructions. Also had a little help from a nice generic ADB guide that pointed me toward QtADB:
http://www.addictivetips.com/mobile/what-is-adb-and-how-to-install-it-android/
After a reboot I am now able to see Flash 10.2 after the market fix as well as Firefox and AirAttack HD. Per other reports I can confirm some others are MIA such as Samurai 2 and Vendetta Online. Regardless the Market is certainly more complete with the updated strings.

I tried different combinations on how to clear Market and google frame work data when perfoming market fix, here is what I got:
base line: woot g tabe upgraded to vegan 5.1.1 with CWM recovery, without any kernel update.
initially I could not see Launcher pro and Dolphin HD browser in the market, but did see samurai 2 (tegra 2 optimized) and crazy snowboard, so I decided to do market fix, followed this video:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r2YcJdxJ24U,
1. go to application managment, select Market in running apps, clear cache, do NOT clear data, then force stop;
2. select google frame work , clear data, then force stop.
3. go back to home, open market again, should see an error,
4. reboot,and wait for system to be stable( at least wifi signal),
5.open market again
Now seeing Dolphin HD browser and launcher pro , fancy widget..., but samurai 2 and crazy snowboard and probably some other apps are missing,
Then follow the link of modifying build.prop (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1019891), get bunch of apps back, eg. now seeing crazy snowboard, flash 10.2, airattach HD and firefox together with launcher pro etc. But Samurai 2 is still missing, maybe plus some other apps. So I tried this slightly different route doing market fix again:
1. go to application managment, select Market in running apps, clear cache, CLEAR data, then force stop;
2. select google frame work , clear data, then force stop.
3. go back to home, open market again, should see an error,
4. reboot,and wait for system to be stable( at least wifi signal),
5.open market again
And samurai 2 is back, but launcher pro 2 is missing again.
it is very confusing. but seems clearing or not clearing data in market fix can be an alternative way to let us access different part of market after build.prop fix. I really do not care if I get a true complete market right now, to some point, you never know it.

It seems like you can forget everything else and just try this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1020130
I did this on stock 3588, and have seen apps that I've never seen before in market. Thank the OP in that thread if it works for you ...

market only showing some apps

i have noticed that alot of the apps i have on my phone do not show up in the market on the nook. actually at most it only shows maybe 15-20 apps per category. i do a search for a app and it dont show up either. flash for instance does not exist in the market. anyone know why
turn the nook to landscape and more will show up. or install the new market.
Sent from my NookColor using XDA App
I don't know why this.is happening, although I am having the same problem. I just started taking the apks from /data on my phone and loading them onto the nook and installing them that way. Its more complicated than using the market, but not a whole lot more complicated.!
Sent from my LogicPD Zoom2 using XDA App
irnoically turning it landscape mode worked as for showing up more apps lol. no clue why but it worked. it still wont find half the apps i have on my phone. like flash wont show up which is kind of important when using the web to its full. can you use astro to instal apps on this like you can on a phone? or is there some different procedure
There's another post in the nook forums which basically states to install "fastweb installer" and "AppBrain App Market". This worked for me and allowed me to find programs like Trillian (but at that price, @#[email protected]#$ that).
I don't think there's an overly usable flash at this point. You'll need to wait for 2.2 from B&N or the NookDevs.
The market on the NOOKcolor, even if it looks like the new market, will only show applications that conform to the Android API 7 API level (2.1 and below). FroYo apps all conform to the Android API 8, so they won't show up on your nook unless you drop FroYo onto it.
Source: http://developer.android.com/guide/appendix/api-levels.html
Using Root Explorer, I changed the System/App folder to R/W and was then able to upgrade the current Marketplace to the newer APK that is floating around the forums. With the new marketplace all apps are showing without needing to turn the screen to landscape.

The problem stated in this thread isn't about the ability to scroll lists in portrait or landscape, rather it is about the ability to see apps that other devices can find.
Two I have seen that immediately come to mind: searching for Firefox, and searching for Trillian (which was a rude way to find out Trillian is both out of beta and now rather expensive, dammit).
Neither will show up on the NC, but show up as the first result on my Droid.
And my NC is also running the latest iteration of Market.

Well, I know flash doesn't show up because it's not (yet) supported on NC. Maybe Firefox and Trillian don't show up for the same reason?

All the apps will show up in nookie. They shouldn't in stock 2.1.
Worked on Nootered and Nookie Froyo .59 with new Market
I had the same issue and followed these insturctions from (i think) the original Nootered thread, but cant remember for sure.
Settings->Applications->Manage Applications-> Market->Clear Cache (NOT DATA!)
then
Settings->Applications->Manage Applications-> Google Services Framework -> Clear Data -> Force Close
reboot
After that SliceIt, Minimalistic Text, and others that were not available previously appear.

Have had nothing but fun playing with the nook. Even formatting my microsd card in the nook and ending up with it not turning on for a day till I repartitioned the storage didn't make me think it was not worth the effort. Compared to a $600 Galaxy Tab the nook is a bargain and well worth all the love bestowed on it IMHO.
fyi just clearing the market cache made some apps i couldn't find before appear. so even if the google framework is non existent in some like mine clearing cache does help
Google framework is not listed on my apps list. Im trying to download games such as angry birds and rocket bunnies but they don't show up

[Q] This Item Is Not Compatible With Your Device on Market with Vegan Tab 7.1

I just got Vegan Tab 7.1 and LOVE IT... the UI is fantastic!
However, there seems to be an issue with several if not most of my apps on the Android Market. I get the message "This item is not compatible with your device"
All of these apps I have used with previous roms including Vegan tab 7.0.3 and Cyanogen Mod 7.1
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance
clear market data, then try again.... worked for me
Good Call, I should have thought of that.
Clearing data is only only a temporary fix (at least for me). A few hours later Market updates and I get the "not compatible" message again.
I clear data again and later it again updates.
The other solution seems to be to freeze the market updater.
That happend to me too...
I did go back to Harmony ROM.
one of the reason;
When using the Android Market website, a device will be grayed out if it isn’t compatible with the app you’re attempting to install. Most commonly, this occurs because the app isn’t designed for your device's screen size or version of Android.

I faced this issue as I changed my LCD density. After reverting back to the default LCD density value for my mobile, It worked normal.
I have also noticed that after the vegan 7.1 update, my device has *vanished* from the list of my devices on android market. Is anyone also noticing this?

What is the "default" density? After installing 7.1 i noticed it's now 160...
Regarding cache-clearing: I have tried that and it didn't work.

I am on stock 3588 plus the enhancement pack.
A couple of weeks ago I started having the same problem with the compatibility of most apps. In addition when I go the Market and then to My Apps now I only see a single app listed: LauncherPro. All other apps I installed from the market are no longer on the list.
I have reset the market by clearing the data and stopping Market and the Google Framework to no avail.
My G-Tab no longer shows as a device in my account.
I believe Google did something to eliminate the unauthorized devices.
I also think they have changed to block the "unauthorized" roms from working. about half the app installed now tell me they are not compatible with my device, and some of them are paid apps. I have asked this question, and the Markets response was to do a factory reset on my phone. I told them that was a crock as I have been on this rom for months now and a factory reset should be a last resort, not a standard fix. I asked them if they changed the market so that it looks at that, and no response yet. on the reply I got from the original mailing, my "specs" are included in the mail I sent them. It has android_os listed twice. the first is gingerbread, and the second is "other". And the first paragraph seems to indicate that with the "warning" about unauthorized os's. And the os is actually what should be on my device (android os), just it is modified, which happens when you personalize your phone anyway by adding widgets, change wallpaper or toggle features.
So is there any hack for that?
Or at least a way to find out what exactly in my device settings prevents the app from being compatible?
Use the modded market..you shouldn't run into that at all with it

Why apps unavailable?

Why are a ton of Android Apps "not compatible with this device"? it's so annoying...
Is there a way they can be "compatible"
Your options:
1. Install on another device, push the apk to your tablet via email
2. Use a hacked market app (if there is one for the flyer) to download any app
3. Change the preferences file on your Flyer so that market thinks you have a different device (hard mode from #2)

Try Amazon App market for android or Aptoid, they are a bit more flexible on some apps, but you won't find all apps there.
Sometime certain apps are made for certain devices or certain resolutions. The android market being that we run android 2.3. It thinks we have an oversize phone and some apps aren't able to pan out or zoom to a certain factor to where it will take up all of our screen estate. some apps i tried that work on my phone on 2.3 look pixelated and low in detail on my tablet because was mad for a less resolution. Or its just simply not for our device. Just install apps you have on your android and see how they look to you and see if they work. Just takes trial and error.
I've side loaded all the apps that I need/want and so far so good.
I have had the same issue with some apps, I had them on my Galaxy Tab, but not for my Evo view. The cool thing is ASTRO Manager now has a backup in the newest update. If you have another android device, like I have the Evo 3D, so I take the app on there, back it up and from there you can share it via email or bluetooth. I did it last nite to put Handcent and a few others on my View.
Installing HC will fix the problem with "small screens" in apps... but will break other apps - gameloft games and some that are intended to be run @ the original screen ratio

Help me get my desktop launcher view back

I don't know what I did, but it seems like Remix OS changed its setting to show some kind of other launcher that is not the default desktop view. I attached screenshots and I have not downloaded any launchers. It shows me Launcher3 as the only option to set as my home launcher when I go to Settings and search the settings entries using the magnifying glass icon. You can see the attached screenshots for a bit more information. I don't really want to install it if there is an easy fix that someone knows of, but if it comes down to that as a last resort option, then I will.
Thanks!
revert to original desktop
Did you ever get this figured out. I have the same issue and cant seem to find a solution.
Thanks,

Just uninstall updates to the Remix WiFi app, and disable updates through the Play Store.
And please search the subforum before you post a thread that is a duplicate of others' threads (I have already seen about 3 threads about the exact same problem).

I've had the same issue and it appeared directly after the Remix WiFi update.
The update procedure seems to be a little bit broken. In "Apps" I saw two WiFi-Apps afterwards, the recent version and the new update. (???)
But you cannot uninstall the update in a normal way, you can only force quit.
So I installed "Root App Deleter", to uninstall the new update. But wait, "Root App Deleter" only showed the older version of the WiFi App -> I deactivated it first instead of uninstalling, didn't want to broke the whole system. After a reboot it was still the same mess. So I activated the old WiFi App again with "Root App Deleter", suddenly I saw it marked as "updated". Then I removed the patch, after another reboot everything was fine again. Ok, all Desktop Icons where gone.
Very very strange, this relation between WiFi-App and Desktopmode...
I really like Remix OS, it runs on my Beebox very nice and fluent and in comparison to Linux almost "out of the box", but the stable branch seems to be not that stable it should be.
And there is a lot of improvement needed for some more things..

You're right, this is really odd.
This doesn't sound like the other threads, since there they were able to simply remove the update without any hitches.
Just wait for the next Remix OS for PC release. Hoping they fix that issue. I bet it gonna happen on the Remix mini, player and 10. If they don't fix this issue.

Go to settings and select reset box (do not select my remix), select erase everything , this will bring back default desktop launcher and box to factory setting leaving all your apps untouched, it will erase only accounts credentials, just log in with your account to any app if needed after resetting box.
Same here has remix 32 bit booted left for a while and when I came back it was frozen so I rebooted and then it was Android style desktop instead of pc...

Uninstall the Update of the one with 3 dots, reboot your machine !
Thank you! After the update the Remix WIFI disappeared, so I was confused, but this solution worked.

But wait, "Root App Deleter" only showed the older version of the WiFi App -> I deactivated it first instead of uninstalling, didn't want to broke the whole system. After a reboot it was still the same mess. So I activated the old WiFi App again with "Root App Deleter", suddenly I saw it marked as "updated". Then I removed the patch, after another reboot everything was fine again. Ok, all Desktop Icons where gone.
Very very strange, this relation between WiFi-App and Desktopmode...
I really like Remix OS, it runs on my Beebox very nice and fluent and in comparison to Linux almost "out of the box", but the stable branch seems to be not that stable it should be.
And there is a lot of improvement needed for some more things..

Nested virtual environments could wipe out personal data?

Background:
I wanted to play a game on my unrooted Huawei Nova 2s (Stock ROM EMUI 8.0) which didn't have GMS preinstalled. The game unfortunately requires GMS to run. I read somewhere some apps can create a virtual environment that has built-in google framework/services so you can just clone apps to the environment and run them as if google services are present. I tried two apps mentioned in the article: VirtualXposed with microg and X8 Sandbox. Sadly, neither of them worked out, the game launched in VirtualXposed couldn't go beyond a data loading screen, X8 Sandbox simply halted at environment launching screen.
What I did:
A few days later, I came up with this stupid idea, i.e. try to run X8 Sandbox in VirtualXposed. The app itself seemed to run okay in VirtualXposed (no active Xposed module if I recall correctly), but instead of halting, it crashed while trying to launch the sandbox environment. I then gave up and removed X8 Sandbox from VirtualXposed and was about to delete the X8 Sandbox apk.
Result:
When I opened up ES file manager, I noticed used internal storage reduced from 19 GB to 8 GB. I knew something seriously went wrong. It was 19 GB right before I tried the nested virtual environment thing. I did a quick navigation, all photos, videos, documents, downloaded files along with tons of folders in /storage/emulated/0/ disappeared. Only those systematic folders (the ones with small icons) remained, but also got emptied (eg. the Download folder). It seemed apps were still in the drawer, not sure if I could actually launch them and if the data stored in apps was gone. SMS also seemed unaffected. I was too scared to keep investigating. To prevent further data loss, I turned off the phone.
My Question:
1. How could I get the lost data back? They got wiped out in such a weird way, I have a feeling it's worse than just being deleted. I probably will try to use software like Dr. Fone, FonePaw to run a recovery scan tomorrow. If you are aware of any better way of data recovery, please let me know. Very much appreciated!
2. How could this happen in the first place? I am by no means a pro and it was a heart-sinking moment when I realized so much data was gone. I wish I knew more about Android, maybe this would never happen.
Thank you very much for reading this long post! Any insight would be greatly appreciated!

your contribution shows impressively what should never be done. Maybe it helps others to avoid the mistakes you made. And: This all has nothing to do with Android OS itself. Basically any Android phone should be used as intended by OEM/Carrier. For good reason HUAWEI have their own app store.
Anyway, you know the door to any Android device is ADB? Do you have USB debugging enabled in phone's Android Settings -> Developer options? Do you have verified an ADB connection can be established? Has phone's Android OS got rooted - that's a requirement for the recovery apps you mentioned?
