[Q] How to get a fuller market. Already did fix.

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 ...

Android Market 3.13

V3.1.3 update:
# Adds +1 For Apps And Games, Pin Number For Purchases, And More…
New Android Market / Adds +1 For Apps And Games, Pin Number For Purchases, And More…
(for all devices – does not require root, but you do need to enable ‘Unknown Sources‘ in Settings-> Applications.)
There’s a brand-new settings menu, as well as click-to-read explanations of app permissions (not developer customizable, unfortunately). There’s also a brand-new Market icon to spruce things up.
Oh, and did we mention you can now use a custom PIN for purchases on your phone, instead of leaving your Google Checkout wide open for anyone that picks up your device? If you have kids, or your phone is stolen, this is one awesome feature to have – and really, it makes a lot of sense.
I've stuck with old one as the new one seems a bit laggy. Or is this newer than what was uploaded here a month ago?

This is the LATEST one from today/yesterday.
Version number for the one uploaded a month ago is 3.0.26 & 3.0.27.
How safe can those supposedly leaked market apps be.
And what a neat trick it is to tell that "Google rolled out a new market.". Then it is proclaimed as a leak. A Google rolled out a leak? With this verbal lingo maybe some people fall to that trick, so let it be said out clearly. Google has not released this app.
Why would official apps require "Unknown Sources" switched on. Only a hacked market app needs that and not official one.
Trusting your credit card info to such an app?
Big deal with those market upgrades provided by those hacked market apps. I rather have official market and know my apps and my credit card are safely mine only.
i tried it and its just the same as one a month ago
Thanks a lot for the .apk mate, it worked like a charm!
Many, many thanks!
Works great. Thanks.
Hi,
Yesterday my market app just got upgraded to this version automatically , I did not install anything , Background Data and Auto-sync were enabled.

Anyone please help!
Suddenly my Market force closes whenever I try to open or download something.
I do all kind of tricks: Clear data, clear cache, reinstall,... but they didnt help at all.
I tried installing from oldest to latest versions but they all had same problem.
Now I just cannot use my Market to download apps anymore.
Please help me! Thank you so much!

Go to Applications -> Manage Applications -> All -> Market -> Uninstall Updates.
That should do the trick.
Amazing update !!

Why is the Google Play UI so terrible?

I've been using Android since 2009 and since the very beginning I have wondered why Google has done such a poor job developing their Marketplace store (since renamed to Google Play -- ridiculous name but that's a different topic). Specifically, the User Interface of the marketplace. The market HAS undergone a couple of changes to its appearance and has had the addition of music, movies, etc. But the basic user interface components for App Installation have seen practically no change at all.
Here's my incomplete list of severe shortcomings of Google Play:
1. There is NO WAY to see a short concise list of all the apps you have already purchased. You can choose between two tabs -- "Installed" and "All". The "Installed" list is just that -- apps already installed. The "All" list shows everything -- already installed, purchased but not installed, free and recently installed on a different device, etc. And this is big jumbled mess is listed in the order of apps most recently installed, which leads to:
2. There Is NO WAY to sort the list in the "All" tab by any criterion. It is what it is, you are stuck with the order everything is listed in and you cannot change it.
3. When you want to install an app, you first have to tap on the app name and then it jumps to the detailed page for that app, where you then press "Install" and then another screen to confirm. There is NO WAY to install the app directly from the app listing without jumping through multiple screens every time for every individual app. This wouldn't be so terrible, except:
4. The listing does not REMEMBER YOUR POSITION when you press back. I find myself scrolling down through the UNSORTABLE list on the "All" page, finding the app I want, which may be 150+ apps down, going to that app's detailed page and pressing install/confirm, then pressing back twice, and it returns me back to the TOP of the list again. So if I wanted to then install the next app that was right below the previous one, I have to SCROLL DOWN AGAIN.
5. Ultimately, what I WANT and NEED is a batch installer directly from the marketplace. Put some freaking CHECKBOXES next to every app on the main list and then put a big "Install All Checked" button at the top. What's so difficult about this concept?
6. You may say "Just use titanium backup, it will solve all your problems." Well I DO use Titanium backup where appropriate. But sometimes I just want to do a CLEAN install of every app, directly downloading from the marketplace again. App backups do get screwed up over time, and reinstalling from marketplace fixes those issues. Not to mention, TiBackup requires ROOT, which not everyone has/wants/needs/knows how to obtain. Or I might be installing all my required apps on a totally new device and I don't want to import incompatible data from some other device.
In my opinion this is a MAJOR shortcoming in Android. There absolutely NEEDS to be a way to easily batch-install many apps directly from the marketplace. Especially for people like me who have 100+ apps installed and regularly wipe my phone to install the latest ROM. And #1 is just insulting in my opinion. I can't see a list of only the apps I OWN? I might forget that I purchased something a long time ago and just forgot to reinstall it. And nobody has come up with a third party tool to batch-install from the market (or have they?)
Can someone please help me understand why Google has failed to improve their storefront for so long? Where is the suggestion box for me to voice all of these concerns?

I'm waiting for google to fix this too!
I agree with everything youve said - but the way I see it is that the Play store is a work in progress. There have been some pretty significant enhancements made in the last few years (I think I started using android in 2010).
Since then they have made 2 or 3 comprehensive UI updates, added books and movies support (which you mentioned), and the “ALL” apps list is also reasonably new (since Google Play was implemented).
I think within the next year or two you will start to see a lot of the features you mentioned.
Apple’s app store was pretty basic when it first started, now they have a lot of great sorting and display options.
Hopefully Google will step up.
Cheers.
Yeah, it will be nice if we can install multiple apps at the same time. Well, batch installer, that's what i mean.
Also, i wish i could delete some old apps (that I installed only to test them) from "Other apps in my library". There are lots of apps i never used, only tried them, and this, combined with the inability to sort the apps, make a real mess. I have to mine for every useful app that i need to install.
Or, at least, they should make a "Favorite" option.

So scrolled down and discovered these 2 "Android " (looked like the little green Android robot ) and they are named "10193" & "10194" 10194 runs in the foreground all the time and 10193 runs in the background all the time. I was told these are "Kaspersky Mobile Security or Parental Control Monitor" I'm 34yrs old and my parents don't monitor me, please help...

I do not think I did or ever had I looked at all the appsI have installed via play store under the all section of "my apps" and do not see it.
Why do you say it is Kaspersky? My phone has been having some really weird things happening to it. I went though 3 batteries in 2 months, its been using a ton of data. My data just reset on 10/29/13 and it is already at 5gb. Also we have been finding "duplicate processes" running in the application manager. I really don't know what to do, I have installed Avast, Look out, and some other antivirus apps nothing has helped. Reset a few times and it will help it for a little bit and then boom its right back

I recommend wiping completely and start fresh with a new ROM. You could also install an app like Data Manager and see which app is using the most data and uninstall. Also, do not install apps that you download off the internet. Only download from reputable sources like the Play Store and Amazon app store.

this is going to sound crazy, but i just got that phone back up and running in January. But that is what I did,,,
The reason I said Kaspersky is because this guy I know said he "googled " those numbers and symptoms a
and deemed it that. IT did have a spy wear type thing on it but it was not Kaspersky. It was one that was
sent from a website and it has to be removed via the website. I don't remember the name. Anyhow I have
long since ditched that phone and on to bigger and better things. But w/ that phone it has sparked an interest
in this whole "development/modification" thing! Thanks for you help and advice and sorry it took me so long to
get back to you! Be blessed!:laugh:
Hi Everyone, I know this is a very old thread, but I want to give out a solution because I just encountered this 10194 app as well.
I would like to post this for future reference to other people who will encounter this since I've done searching around about this but I can't find any solution.
To remove this app you must:
1. Open Settings and tap [Security] or [Security and Finger Print] or any other name it might now posses.
2. Under this settings entry, you'll see [Device Administrators], tap that
3. Inside [Device Administrators] you'll see that there is a blank application containing a space as well and the indicator should be ticked, that means this app has administrator access to your phone, it has access to calls, messages, email accounts, etc. See: here
4. Tap this app and [Deactivate] or [De-authorize] it
5. Now go back to the main settings list and navigate to [Apps] or [Applications]
6. Tap the app and you can now uninstall it.
I highly recommend changing your passwords for any account that might have been on that phone, there is a high possibility that this app has gathered information on you.
This includes phone call lists, phone call recordings, your contacts, your messages, notes, emails, etc.
This is a speculation of course and will highly depend on the amount of data this application has passed to wherever it connected to but it is safe to assume that you have been infected by malware and your previous information has been compromised.

[Q]How and which service should I disable on reboot to avoid tracking?(Google Locati

on Manager).
Hey,
So, I've checked 'settings->apps->running' and I see that when I restart my phone the OS turn on Google location Manager, Google Play market, and some other thing.
I would really like if when I turn on my phone- no element could use my GPS unless I specifically tell it to run, then stop the usage when I tell it to close. Part of the tracking prevention, I imagine, will be done by disabling those services which are required for proper part functioning.
I suppose my questions are:
1) What services/elements should I disable?
2) How do I prevent them from running on startup?
3) How do disable parts of android to run on start up, in general?
Also I'd like to note that I would prefer not installing any apps or root the phone.
Thank you very much
UP.
(Damn, 4th page already. There sure is a lot of activity here).
For stopping any app on reboot you need to be rooted !!!
As you have to make changes in system files !!!
Without root access it’s not possible to stop a system app on startup...!

Very intresting, thank you.
Anyone knows by any chance what other elements should be disabled so to prevent the activation of components that could theoretically be used for tracking (so that for instance the GPS or the WIFI or some motion sensors or perhaps some other information gatherer could not be turned on (even if the phone is infected by malware)) ?
1) Download disable service in Google Play
2) Swipe to system apps, navigate to Google Play Services
3) Uncheck all mdm.services (first few)
4) Uncheck NlpLocationRecevierService, GoogleLocationManagerService, GoogleLocationService
5) Uncheck any plus, drive or cast service if you’re not using them.
* GPS will still work as normal.

Thank you.
when you say that GPS works as normal, does it mean that only the physical component is working but no app can access it (not even deliberate navigation apps)?
Also, I'll check this "disable service " but funny thing, one of the reviewers on the market has left this remark:
"Nearly useless I thought that if I disable some services - they won't run ever again. But then I learned that it is not so, and the bad apps who's services you disabled can undo that easily. Even if they get executed without SU rights. For me that means that DisableServices is potentially useless. If you would like to reproduce what I'm talking about - install Yandex.Maps, disable com.yandex.auth.AuthentificationService Please, add an active Guard to protect services from getting re-enabled"
Is there some truth in it?
And again thank you(!), will do what you suggested.
