Here it is people, as promised, MarketPlaceRegionSwitch. What does it do? It allows you to switch MarketPlace to USA, Germany, France, Netherlands, etc. Whatever you want - without mucking with regional settings, soft-resetting, etc. "because I can"
I DEMAND you read the entire post before using it, because there are definitely things you should know before using it.
This app actually fools Marketplace into thinking you are from somewhere else. This method is not foolproof, and may be circumvented by Microsoft in the near future. It is not for the faint of heart either.
Why?
Because developers have been left in the cold for manually verifying their apps are in the correct markets. Microsoft have dropped the ball a few times with "published" apps seemingly not being published at all, or incorrectly. While I'm sure Microsoft will fix these issues in due time (and indeed provide the functionality this program offers) for now developers need to check this for themselves. So no, this app is not meant for end-users, but for developers. If you still want to use it, that's fine by me, but it's on your own conscience
Keep in mind this is a developer tool, for verification of Marketplace presence. I would strongly advise against using this to download apps from market regions that are not your own, and especially not buying them through this app. In fact it is likely the Marketplace will not allow you to purchase from another country than your CC's billing address in either case.
How to use
Now here come the important bits. When you start the application, you will see two text boxes in front of you. MCC (mobile country code), and Lang (language ID). By default they have settings for the USA entered.
You will want to fill these values with the correct values for the market you want to visit. You should have matching country codes and language ID's, but see the note below about that. In 1.1 I have also added a select box with presets that mostly work.
Now, how to find the values you need to enter here:
MCC Go to this page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mobile_Country_Code. You want to enter the numeric, 3-digit code.
Lang Go to this page: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/goglobal/bb964664.aspx. You want the values from the LCID hex column.
Hit go, wait a few seconds, and you should be in the market of your choice.
Please note that unlike the other region switching tricks, this one is supposed to work through your CELLULAR connection specifically! Please make sure you do NOT have USB/ActiveSync or Wi-Fi connected!
Notes about the "preset" selection box
While many of these presets work, I have noticed some strange behavior. Often the 'expected' codes do not work if a region is combined with a language, but that language is not from that region.
Take for example, Luxembourg. The preset uses the correct LangID and MCC for French/Luxembourg, but it usually wont work. If you keep the Lang from French/Luxembourg but use the code for France in the MCC box, it usually will work and you will end up in the Marketplace for Luxembourg, not the one for France. You will have to play with it if you want to test for these less common markets. If you have specific notes about which codes work for which specific Markets, please do post them here.
If you are having trouble connecting to the USA marketplace, try using 311, 312, 313 or 314 instead of 310 in the MCC box.
How it was done
The entire thing is done by runtime patching. Functions used to figure out which locale you are in are patched by the app, returning the value you entered in Lang. Accompanied with that, the IMSI is patched and the MCC part is replaced by the value you entered in MCC. This all is a lot more complicated than it sounds
Obviously the app does it's best to restore original behaviour on exit, though I would still advise soft-resetting when you're done with it.
Random notes
The UI sucks, deal with it. I spent less than 5 minutes on it. I did spend many hours on the actual functionality, though.
The app should remain running while running Marketplace! It will (should) automatically exit once you exit Marketplace. Be sure to use the menu->exit function, instead of the X (the latter will usually just hide Marketplace, not close it).
The method used to patch may cause issues that will not disappear until you soft-reset, chances are slim but things can go wrong.
Changelog
29.10.2009 - v1.1
Presets added
Having to restart Marketplace twice without this app to get back to your "home" market should be fixed
If you are a developer for Marketplace and you make use of this app, it would be much appreciated if you would DONATE to me for my time (the link to donate is at the bottom of my signature)

Great job bro!
Thanks for the great util. Much appreciated bro!
nice, thx, finally a marketplace with more then 5 items and in a language i understand
Nice work!
Now to find me some US applications!
Figures, trying to add presets to this, and just as I want to start testing the whole data network craps out... *taps foot and waits for T-Mobile to fix things*

(Drop me a PM or something if you want)
Kudos, Chainfire.
1.1 released... most importantly it adds presets. Not all of them work right, see the notes.
Also, some mod please add an empty post at the top please (I always forget to do that, hah!)
sweeeeet.. going to try it straight away
Update : Cold beer coming your way
Great work, wish I had a data plan...

Hi,
Great tool, but it doesn't work for me. After hitting the go button the app closes completely down.
Chainfire, you are a god!
I have to say, a great app, but it doesn't work for me.
I applied the standard settings (being the US one) but after this when I start Windows Marketplace I still get the dutch one.
I have Wi-Fi turned off, so what am I doing wrong? (I have the Marketplace version where you can select the location to save your app)
For those of you it doesn't work for, I'm not sure what the cause of this is. I actually had the same problem on one of my phones, it wouldn't switch away from Dutch (my "home" marketplace), and then suddenly it did - and I have been unable to reproduce the problem since.
All I can say is try uninstalling Marketplace, deleting HKCU\Security\Software\Microsoft\Marketplace, soft-reset, reinstall Marketplace. That might do the trick - or it might not.

Congrats on your thread at Tweakers.net
Also, it seems to work more reliable if you make sure you have a cellular connection before you run the app.. Also make sure you are NOT signed in with your LiveID
Thanks for this great app, it works flawlessly.
I have already tried to buy a product but it did not accept my credit card information at the last step. May be there could be a work around for this also.

Hi Chainfire,
My device is a HTC Tytn II with the following ROM Kaiser_HyperDragon_IV_Mega_6.5_WWE.
I already had Marketplace installed so I will try the thing you suggested by uninstalling and reinstalling Marketplace. I let you know if this works.
Important: Uninstall previous versions and DELETE any map previously downloaded with Litetrack, they're not compatible with v0.7.
Saved tracks and POIs are still compatible.
what's new in 0.7 version:
- No more tiles' limit in map's download.
- Map is saved as a single file, to save space in your SD
- User's location added to Track viewer, to walkback even without map
- New scrolling system
- Bugs fixed, all regional settings (should be) supported
- Mobile Cells localization and caching
About Cells localization: even without GPS you will have an idea about your location. This feature can be enabled or disabled from settings. How it works: any new phone cell encountered is added to the app database; if online, also cell's location is obtained and added to database. (*)Cells' locations can even be added later (menu -> tools -> Update). Once the cells are registered with their locations can be used offline also.
* This means you'll be free to go around and around staying offline, LiteTrack still collects info about phone cells encountered (but don't forget to enable it from settings). Once at home, turn online and update the database, all the cells previously collected are now ready to be displayed on the map and used offline. In other words, you will have your personal database of mobile cells!
-------------------------
LiteTrack is the right tool to record your route, save off-road paths, retrace a journey, obtain detailed gps data, or simply get your position on the map. All staying offline!
UI attractive, finger friendly, real full-screen usage.
Features (what you can do with LiteTrack):
- Display your position on the map
- Download maps from OpenStreetMap sources directly to your device
- Track your routes, also off-road, and save them to files
- Obtain track's statistics, also in realtime
- Append new tracks to existing track files
- View tracks in a separate context (Track Viewer)
- Export tracks to GPX and KML
- Save your current position as a new POI
- Attach comment and picture to your POIs
- Import tracks and POIs on the selected map
- Get detailed GPS info (lon, lat, alt, speed, heading, DOP, hDOP, vDOP and more)
- Display charts about satellites detected
- Obtain specific data about each satellite (id, azimuth, elevation, signal strength)
- Gadgets feature: get weather forecast, compass, clock and system monitor
- Mobile Cells localization and caching
Requirements: WM 5, 6, 6.1 or 6.5, touchscreen with VGA or WVGA resolution (640x480 or higher), .NET CF 3.5
Hope you enjoy all the new stuff!
If you like this app please consider to
eur, or
usd, the amount you prefer. Thank you!
Thanks!
was looking for one, thanks
Hello Xdaid,
Unfortunately I'm not able to use this jewel on my HD2 for several raisons:
- the zoom level is limited (only one level) therefore to select the area for downloading the map is impossible; the range selected is too wide, therefore I've a message "out of the range" or "latitude S cannot be lower than latitude N" even if I change it manually
I've tried to select area from top left to bottom right or vis versa but same result.
I really need this kind of soft for off-road tracks in the beautiful desert of UAE
Can you help on this issue?
Thanks and regards,
Renaud
Neat! Will Try!
Will give this piece of software a work out, meanwhile is it capable of GSM triangulation? If not is it coming anytime soon?
very nice idea but it doesn't work on htchd2.
No luck with Omnia2 i920 version.
GPS "on" leads to "error page" ,press details program shuts down.
I tried soft reset.
Started "Bing" first to get GPS working. no luck
soft reset no "Bing",no luck.
Looks like a nice and easy to use program.
Thanks for the efforts.
It is working with TP2.
WM 6.5.3
To Romeo Fox
Consider that
1) max size is 1000 tiles per map, in respect of OpenStreetMap rules.
2) at first launch of LiteTrack you have a global map, not detailed at all.
Well, to get detailed maps of towns and small areas follow these steps:
1) take an area from default map (e.g. your country or state) and download.
2) open the map just downloaded, select the area you're interested and download again. You will have more zoom options now.
Hope this help.
To HD2 users
I'm getting opposite feedbacks, there are hd2 users saying it works, and other saying it doesn't. I'll try to find the point and solve any issue.
Looks great xdaid. Thanks!
Hello xdaid,
bad luck for me. whatever i select as area (trying france for exemple) i've got error message on preview selection.
Anyway, i will follow your news as this soft is exactly what i'm looking for since longtime
Congrats for job done so far.

Renaud, the issue you encountered, almost sure, is related to the mouse pointer on capacitive screen. That's the reason you can't get the right coords when you select the area to download.
It would be helpful for me if you:
1) type manually into wizard's boxes the values
1 (W), 2 (E), 2 (N), 1 (S)
choose first zoom level available and let me know if download starts.
It should start.
2) draw a rectangle around France an let me know what values you read into
the wizard's boxes
Since i tested my app on resistive-screen devices only (ouch!) these info will help me to fix the issue.

great app, but unfortunately my device is qvga.. i hope you realease a qvga version too
hi
i install it on my Diamond
and...it doesn't open
:'(
any idea??

Hello xdaid,
First of all thanks for your support.
I've captured the coords manually for France as followed:
left (W): 4.2904
Right (E): 6.0704
Top (N): 48.2904
Bottom (S): 43.4005
Zoom level cannot be selected (grey square) and when i'm clicking on preview I still get the message "values out of range".
If i select the area through your tool i've got:
left (W): -2.8125
Right (E): 6.3281
Top (N): 50.15625
Bottom (S): 43.359375
Result is the "latitude-S cannot be lower than latitude-N" as message error.
I still cannot select zoom level as well.
Others infos:

Hope it will help you.

After, if i draw rectangle around France i'm still have "out of range value" message with those kind of values:

Oh yeah +1 for a qvga version
To Romeo Fox and other users who get "out of range" message
i found the issue, it looks really WEIRD
the problem is the conversion of text boxes' values into numeric floating values, weird cause the code appear to be right, and mostly cause my device, other devices i tested and wm 6.5 emulator work flawless.
I'll be fix it really soon, in the meanwhile try this:
select an area (France ), tap OK and then simply replace the characters '.' into the boxes (top, left, right, bottom) with the character ','
Let me know, but i'm pretty sure this works.
ver 0.2 - fixed!
I made some changes which should have solved issues encountered on hd2 and a couple of other devices:
- GPS handler fixed
- Map selection tool now working propely
Also app was succesfully tested on VGA square screen
Hope you enjoy!
waiting for some feedbacks, thanks

Hello xdaid,
tested new version. Download works now!! but only on wifi and not in 3G. There is a bug on saving track which generate error and close litetrack without saving it.
This is quite annoying. Otherwise others features and options seem working..
I'm only one to get this error on saving track?

Coming here from [http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=554551], since I can't post there anymore:
I'm using Sony Ericsson X10i with a MBW-150 and Openwatch 1.5 of course. I recently upgraded Android to 2.3.3 and now my watch randomly disconnects and doesn't reconnect, even if I leave my phone and then return. Usually it took <30 seconds for them to reconnect, but I have given them minutes and still no reaction. I have to push a button on my watch to make it reconnect.
Any upcoming solution on this, or any information, I would be thankful.
/Oli
since not being allowed to post in the development forum (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=554551]), i have to ask here:
firt of all, i'm using a google nexus s with NSCollab 1.0.39 and it works pretty good, so you may add the device to the "tested or reportet" list.
but i have two (minor) issues:
the sender and subject is not displayed on the watch when i recieve an email, using the modded gmail 2.3.5 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=16265599), neither with "classic" notification nor "all notifications".
i want to start the music app (or maybe other apps, mytracks for gps tracking for example) remotely. i can easily find out the package, its com.google.android.music, but which classname do i have to fill in and where can i find it out?
nevertheless, thanks for this great app.
I am also not allowed to post in the previously mentioned thread in the development section, but have some questions:
I recently purchased the thinkgeek watch (apparently without reading the development thread thoroughly enough) and it does not work quite as well as would be desired. As stated before, when I "test" the connection after following the instructions for the LM watches, it vibrates, but does not activate the screen. I am using the fake mdw-150 device type. In terms of notification functionality:
At first I was able to connect to the watch, and it gave me the option of two different messaging lines and global notifications and the whole nine yards. Subsequently, it did not give me these options. I think something funny happened with the paired devices in the bluetooth menu that I have to figure out. All functionality I am referencing here is after the options available to me was reduced.
Phone Calls: Vibrates, no text
SMS: Nothing
Alarm: Vibrates, No text
Media: Nothing
Gmail: Nothing
That is the extent of my testing at this point. I'm going to try fixing the goofyness that is going on with my bluetooth paired devices, then possibly try installing cyanogenmod and seeing if there's any root tools I can use that might help (my phone is a rooted nexus s running stock 4.0.3 if that helps you.) I'll update this when I have more thoroughly explored this to the best of my abilities.
I've got this issue where incoming calls and texts are not matching to the contacts database when the international format is used (so incoming 01202 123456 matches if the number is stored in the phone book as 01202 123456 but not if it's +441202 123456)
Seems it's quite common with ROMs / Phones from China.
My phone is a Cube 5H A5300 (a remarkably good bit of kit for the money if I could fix this dam issue) , Android 4.2.1, and MIUI 3.11.15. I don't think this is a MIUI issue hence posting here.
I've been through the suggestions that seemed to offer the best chance of a fix :-
Changing the MIN_MATCH in framework.jar and MMS.apk, and checking that strict comparison if odd from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2268120
Adding ro.phone.min_match=7 to build.prop from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1160343
Various other suggestions relating to stuff in settings.
So I'm at a lost to know where to go next.
Anyone got any suggestions about where number matching is handled in Android? Where can I look for places to check ?
John
Exactly the same problem, also UK
Incoming calls show up in the format 07785 nnnnnn but my phone book has the numbers stored in +44 7785 nnnnnn format, with the result incoming calls only show the number and not the detail in my contacts/people.
I also tried ro.phone.min_match= using 9 and 7 as variables but it made no difference
I have the THL W8s running Android 4.2.1
Brilliant phone but his bug is killing it for me.
Really look forward to a solution
I found the solution for bog standard Android devices, I have a THL W8s running 4.2.1 but it should work on Androids 4.1.x / 4.2.x / 4.3.x according to the threads below.
No credit to me, all down to the guys on XDA, but as a bit of novice it took me ages to trawl all the posts on this subject before finally finding the solution that worked - and easily. It will also avoid you installing lots of apps of playstore that for me anyway either didn't work or gave a poor hack of a work around. In addition, this solution provides a whole host of other fixes and enhancement, brilliant piece of work from the two developers.
Start by removing all your contacts, either export/delete from People to re-import or as in my case delete the corporate email/contacts account
Tip: Reboot after almost every step
1) Your device must be rooted
2) You must be able to install apps direct from your phone: System Settings / Security / Unknown Sources (Unknown Sources may be in a different place)
Then the heart of it:
Install the Xposed Framework
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1574401
Full instructions in the thread
Then install GravityBox it's not the a ROM, just the Xposed Framework Module
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2316070
Again, full instructions in the thread (Make sure you have a tick next to Gravity Box in the Xposed Framework and reboot)
Then: GravityBox -> General Fixes -> Fix Caller ID
Reboot, re-add or re-import your email/contacts, either add the account or import from contacts and there you go, fixed.
Here's one that didn't work for me but may be worth a try if your version of Android isn't supported with the above solution:
Search on: ro.phone.min_match= where you put a 9, 8, 7 etc after the =
I used ES File Explorer to mount /system R/W and edit the build.prop file, but as I said, after ages of hacking around to get the fix in it didn't work for me.
BTW: I bought the THL W8s after busting my HTC One and not wanting to shell out too much to replace it. All-in-all I'm very impressed with my cheap Chinese Android phone (£155 on eBay), and now that this bug is fixed I'm really chuffed with it. The dual sim/dual standby function saves me carrying two phones, another bonus.

Thx for posting this, but didn't work for me. Hope it works for others as this is a great bunch of apps.
I'm wondering if my issue is related to the phone (Cube 5H which is a MTK6589 product) or the MIUI ROMs. I'm getting to the point where I think I might need to give up and get a different phone, but I feel the same way about this phone as you do aout the THL - if I could fix this issue it would be a great value for money phone

I'm surprised because the Garvity Box solution was designed around the MT6589 products (I think I read somewhere), my phone is MT6589T.
I did read somewhere that the solution wouldn't work on highly customized ROMs and I think that included MUI. Did the phone come with MUI factory installed, if there is a standard AOSP build for your phone it is probably worth a try using that.
Pity, I nearly threw a party when it worked for me, I'd been hacking around for days.
The phone doesn't come with a full MIUI ROM, just the "themes" part of it. But I really wanted to give MIUI a shot hence me putting the whole ROM on. Good point though - I've been toying with putting the original build back on to see if it fixes the issue. Then I'll know if it's a phone thing or a MIUI thing.
Glas you got yours going though. I crossing my fingers for that party moment!

I did read somewhere that the solution wouldn't work on highly customized ROMs and I think that included MUI. Did the phone come with MUI factory installed, if there is a standard AOSP build for your phone it is probably worth a try using that.
Pity, I nearly threw a party when it worked for me, I'd been hacking around for days.

Strangely - just noticed that numbers in "recent" are now being listed with the correct name matched to the phone book. If I turn off Gravity Box this stops happening, so Gravity Box is having some affect. Just a shame it's not on incoming calls.

Thx for posting this, but didn't work for me. Hope it works for others as this is a great bunch of apps.
I'm wondering if my issue is related to the phone (Cube 5H which is a MTK6589 product) or the MIUI ROMs. I'm getting to the point where I think I might need to give up and get a different phone, but I feel the same way about this phone as you do aout the THL - if I could fix this issue it would be a great value for money phone

Hello everyone, and sorry for my bad English. I apologize if I repeat the same request that I posted last night in the thread related to the rom in question, but probably this section is the most appropriate.
First of all a thank you to Deepflex for its immense work, which allowed us to use the latest versions of android on our smartphones. For work reasons I have always preferred stock versions, usually more stable than custom ones, but lately I decided to try this LineageOS.
I noticed some gaps, rather than real bugs, and I could not find solutions looking for them in the forums. So I thought to ask you directly if you can advise me how to meet my needs:
- First of all, compared to previous versions I used so far, in the management of storage space there is no option to tell Android to use the microSD as the default mass storage. Is there an app that can activate the same option (or at least allow me to change the default destination path for downloads, documents, phone records, email attachments, etc)?!?
- Among the applications installed by default there is no "Backup & Restore" for telephone contacts, and the contact manager of LineageOS has limits in the export of contacts (maximum 1000 contacts, and only save on file or import from files without possibility of pass them from one account to another).
- If the screen lock with PIN is activated in the security section, when the screen is in power saving and a notification is received, pressing the power button directly displays the keypad for entering the PIN instead of showing the status bar with notifications received and not yet read: to be able to see them, it is therefore mandatory to unlock the screen by entering the PIN each time.
Thanks to everyone right now for the tips you can give me.
