Hi,
I've got an Archos 43 IT with dual boot UrukDroid 1.5 and the stock fw. I had the latest version of the market running there (+market fix, installed by arctools) and all worked just fine. But since a few days ago the market only shows very few apps (like 2-3 each section) in both (stock and ud). When I try to install apps over the official market-homepage, I get the message like this (translated): "This App isn't compatible to your Archos A43-Device."
What can I do here? Does anyone have the same problem?
A few days ago in another post I read about a pro here, who managed to replace the file which told the market, that it is an A43 by an other one (i think, it was a samsung galaxy), but I can't find the thread/post anymore. I guess this should solve my problem, but I don't know which file it was, anymore.
Does anyone know, which post this was (link)/which file?

You can change the setting at content filtering to show all app.
For market app, you may reinstall it from arctools.
Hi,
thanks for your reply.

Do you mean in the settings-menu under "select level"? All the checkboxes are activated with me.

EDIT:
I even tried applying the fix again but it didn't work
EDIT 2:
I now managed to find the post I mentioned in my first post. It was here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=11113696&postcount=3
But when I tried modifying my /system/build.prop, I was very surprised to see, it already had the galaxy-footprint, the line containing Archos was only put as a comment (Does this come by UrukDroid as default?). So this doesn't seem to work either...
I am still having the same problem I've tried everything i can think of fix unfix un reinstall edit build.prop and i think posted on the other thread you mentioned. And I'm having the same problem on my stock installation too. Anyone else have any ideas.

I now managed to get the fingerprint of a Motorola somewhat... (ro.build.fingerprint=verizon/voles/sholes/sholes:2.2/FRG01B/45394:user/release-keys)
Doesn't seem to do any change... Do I have to do anything to apply the changes in the build.prop? I tried reboot, clearing cache and data of the market and the google-services-framework. Anything else I have to do?
So, I got all the apps back . What I did was the following:
First I switched my fingerprint back to the Galaxy one. After that I rebooted my device and went to (the menu-points are translated by me, so it might not be the exact name) Settings -> Applications -> manage Applications -> Market -> Clear Cache, Clear Data, Force Stop.
Does this work for you as well, jared?

Hey Guys and respected devs,
I have been using my Nook Tablet 16GB(rooted stock) without a problem since january. I have some games, apps etc and so far i have been perfectly happy with it.
Then recently i was browsing the net using opera and came across a video i wished to download. And until then i had no trouble downloading anything videos, pics,apks etc.... But it came as "download failed" . Since then i have tried various methods ... Using other browsers, default browser, download managers, etc but NONE of them can download the files . They don't even start downloading and say a variant of Download error, unable to download etc .
I have combed google and xda and have come up with nothing even remotely close to solving this problem. Please if anyone has any views, opinions, suggestions they are very welcome.
Btw i can download apps and updates and anything of the sort via any type of market and thats about it.
Regards,
Moxdown
well, the first thing that popped into my head was "unknown sources". do you have it turned "on" or has it been clobbered somehow ? this is most strange because you can download but then you cannot download... . are you blocked OTA ? 9.9.9.9 versus 1.0.0.0 ?
hmm, maybe you just need to use 'rom manager' and fix all permissions.

unknown sources are for app installation
OTA block simply blocks stuff from B&N (same with the version change)
rom manager and permissions have nothing to do with this
hth is not helpful either
@ OP, are these new websites that you are trying to download from by any chance?

yes, unknown sources is not a good guess. yes, lame. my brain was connecting together... the os cooperates from a known source for goods and does not cooperate from an unknown.
i thought OTA and getting an un-wanted binary update from b&n may have scrambled your os.
i was guess a critical permission got flipped to 'read only' and that was causing troubles. so running a permission fix 'may' help. it helps get rid of force closes...
and then hth stands for 'hope this helps', which was my honest desire. but then @Cubanluke88 is just being a smart a$$ ( once again ) . . . but then he's super smart and maybe has your answer.
.
maybe the best answer is 'taking it back to b&n' and having them reset it.
.
when i was asleep, i thought of another answer. maybe you caught a virus ?

yup im using ota blocker from unknown sources.. and no i haven't caught a virus because i scanned it just a few hours ago just in case ..... Oh? websites like rapidshare, forums etc.... oh and xda of course... still looking through .... i have simply NO IDEA what's wrong...
I don't know if this is possible on the stock OS, but if you can get into manage apps in settings and perhaps clear data on the browsers and try again, that's what I would try next.

I'm running the official att ics rom rooted and cwm. Apps like wifi tether do not work. What do I have to do to make tethering work?
Thanks.
Here is what I did to get it to work;
1. Used Titanium Backup Pro, under Backup/Restore... uninstall TetheringProvision.apk.
2. there is an app in the Market called FoxFi, but unfortunately my carrier will not let me download it from the market. If that is the case, on their Market page, they list the link to download the .apk file to install on your Note. This app will allow you to use Wifi and USB tethering.

I just tried that but after starting foxfi it says my wifi turned off and tethering has stopped.
Did you reboot your phone after installing FoxFi? And you are using FoxFi's wifi features, not the phone's default, correct? Just checking here...

OK - I have rooted my phone with Odin, but I am not sure how to flash the .zip file that is mentioned in that link... I am a total noob with android... Any help would be appreciated.
Reboot to download mode: from a turned off phone squeeze both volume up and down at the same time and hold them in. Now push and hold the power button until the phone vibrates, then let go of the power button.
Keep squeezin' those volume buttons until you see the recovery menu.
Choose flash zip. Navigate to your zip. Select and confirm you mean to flash that zip. Wait a few until done.
Reboot normally. But any change to the system can slow down the boot time. Don't fiddle with any buttons for at least a xouple of minutes to let the change settle in.
Im trying to setup wifi tethering on the x10mp (phone 3G->wifi to a laptop).
I've tried Barnacle (laptop failed to connect to phone), and "wifi tether for root users" (two apps), but both gave an error message that the kernel is missing some components.
has anyone got some wifi tethering app to work on x10mp? and if so, which one and how?
TIA

AW: [Q] wifi tethering
If you are on stock SE firmware, even if you have rooted your phone, Wifi tethering wont work for you, as the stock firmware does'nt support tethering. Here is a link with a list of tutorials and custom ROMs (I think all ROMs from android 2.3 support tethering):
forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1588192
The easiest way would be to install xrecovery on your stock kernel (you'll find one under "stock kernel based custom ROMs) and then flash a GingerBread(2.3) ROM via xrecovery.
Please press thanks if I helped .
Tnx.
Im using the stock SE ROM.
Kernel 2.6.29
Firmware 2.1-update1
Any chance I could get wifi tethering working w/o installing a custom ROM?

Don't be afraid of flashing Roms in stock kernel, its simplicity itself. If you have already rooted your phone, here's a quick how-to:
1.Download stericson's busybox from the market & install newest version (currently 1.20.2, I think)
2.Download the zip file in this post
3.Download script manager from the market.
4. Extract the files onto your sdcard so that you find the files "chargemon, busybox, xrecovery.tar, readme.txt, installer" in sdcard/download/xrecovery.
5.Open script manager, give superuser permissions (tick 'browse as root' on first startup), navigate to the folder you extracted and run 'installer' as root (tip on the superuser symbol on the top left corner. When activated, it should be green).
6.Download the Rom you want to flash onto your sdcard, a link you'll find in my earlier post(only choose from stock kernel based roms)
7.Reboot.
8. When the SE logo appears, press back button quickly several times. You will boot into xrecovery.
9.Make a backup via xrecovery.
10.wipe data via xrecovery and install your downloaded rom, surprise, via xrecovery.
11.reboot&enjoy!

Looking forward to the files you've mentioned.
1. Can I create a backup of the current kernel & ROM (the SE stock ones which the phone arrived with)?
In case something breaks during the process, I could hopefully revert to these.
2. Can I get the wifi tethering functionality without updating the kernel, only by installing a new ROM?
When I tried the "wifi tether for root users" app it showed an error message that the kernel is missing some components.
Xrecovery
So, here is the zip.
PS: All credits go to the guys in the following link (quangnhut123), he uploaded the files, I only wrote the installer script .

Change in step 4:
4. Extract the files onto your sdcard so that you find the files "chargemon, busybox, xrecovery.tar, readme.txt, installer" in sdcard/download/xrecovery.
Yes, you are able to restore your previous system via an xrecovery backup.
Please press thanks if this worked for you. If it didn´t please tell me what went wrong, I will fix asap.
NOTE: I havn't tested this yet, because I havn't had time to reflash & root my X10 MP. As said above, if it doesn't work, I will fix .
When I used the stock ROM, I used brancle for wifi tethering, It worked. Unfortunately, I do not remeber the exact settings. But I'm sure, It works.

What about my question regarding the kernel? as I mentioned, when I tried the other tethering app, the error it displayed was that the kernel is missing some components. so If I use the stock kernel, and only install a new ROM, will this still allow wifi tethering, or do I need to flash a new kernell as well?

Well, I don't think your kernel is missing components, that would
1. Disprove the links in your post and
2. Disprove what tommy posted.
Also, I'm pretty sure that when I was on Minicm7Pro (with stock kernel), I had wifi tethering.

First of all, did the script work (yet)? Have you tried it yet? Sorry, I havn't tested yet, but I will do so today.
Secondly, MiniCM7pro always worked well for me, but if you like the stock SE style, try SonyStyle by the same developer.

Actually, I remembered, that i can simply see the settings in my wife's mini, which is with the stock ROM, and uses Brancle. I just tried it, works flawlessly. The phone is only rooted, nothing more. Here are the settings:
SSID - elka
BSSID - empty
Wireless encyption - five low-case letters, no numbers, no symbols, for example - abcde, ASCII encoding
Channel - 6
Custom Wifi Ad-hoc - none
Skip wpa_supplicnat - not checked
Auto Associate - not checked
Accsess control - not checked
New client actions - Notify (checked), Sound - Play a ringtone, Light - empty, Allow - empty
Local mode - checked,
DHCP - Gw - 192.168.5.1, Mask - 255.255.255.0, First Host - 100, Lease time - 1200 sec, DNS1 and 2 - empty
NAT - leave everything default
WAN- rmnet0
LAN - empty
What do you mean when you say "laptop failed to connect to phone" - tries, but can't get address, or nothing happens? If nothing happens, try to press the "Associate" button.
I remember, that there was something strange with the password - make it as simple as you can. If it is not working, try temporarily to disable encryption.
I cannot tell the version of Brancle I am using, but Market doesn't offer me an update, so it must the latest one, at least for the stock x10 mini with stock ROM. If you know how to check it - tell me, i will do it.
And something else - check the security settings of the laptop - are the Ad-Hoc networks and WEP encryption allowed? Brancle makes Ad-hoc only, not infrastructural.
Good luck!
EDIT/
As I see from market, the version of Brancle is 0.6.7 (evo)

I set the same settings as u did, still no luck.
The barnacle log shows: WIFI: failed to reassociate
Im using linux (debian), with network manager, which should be able to connect to an adhoc network,
any ideas?
TIA
Update:
It works for only a single time. The gnome network manager defined the wireless network as "infrastructre", and I changed it to "adhoc".
It connected once, but Im not being able to reconnect again now. ;-(
any suggestions?
Try to connect some other device, to see whether the problem is in the device, or in the Mini/Brancle. What do you mean, saying "not being able to reconnect"? - You cannot see network, you see it, but nothing happens when trying to connect, you can try to connect, but cannot aquire address (ie stuck on "connecting...")

I know from bitter experience that SkyGo (UK) doesn't work on a rooted or jailbroken phone (something to do with counters) but has anyone here found a way round this? I realize that the official release for this is November, but the principle of whether rooting can be detected is the same.
Thanks
I used to temp unroot when using sky go and restore root afterwards. All this can be done without a reboot.
Use hidemyroot or voodoo ota rootkeeper to make a copy of the su binary, unroot device, uninstall superuser app, force close sky go if its running and then reopen.
I wonder if you could used the multi user function of 4.2.2 to run sky go under another user

Why go through so much trouble?
I have this problem with an app from my cable provider which enables me to watch live tv on my tablet, it also fails when it detects root.
The only thing I need to do is open the SuperSU app and disable root, it's as easy as that for me.
Maybe this also works for you?

No, that would also be to much trouble for me, I like things simple.
Just open the SuperSU app, go to settings -> Enable superuser -> uncheck the box besides it.
It disables root access.
Works like a charm for me but I don't use the Sky app, I use another app provided by my cable operator/isp which also checks for root.
Good luck.
Unfortunately it didn't work. Sky really are on the ball when it comes to securing this app.
Looks like I'll have to try the only other thing I can think to make it work, flash back to a stock image using clockwork mod.
Thanks for your help anyhow!
