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 ...

This worked perfect! I know have access to all apps! Thanks a million!
More and more games lately have become a grind, involving hours on top of hours of gameplay. I have no issue with playing a few reps on a game, except I don't want to be on my phone for that many hours every day because I fear for its longevity. So I try and play these games on a few Windows emulators (Pokemon Go, Toreba) but find they won't start. I know both of these apps check for root because I had to set up Magisk hide for both on my phone but the emulators are not rooted, so I can assume the apps are checking for emulation and stop running.
In short, what I'm trying to say is, is there a way to hide the fact that I'm using an emulator from these apps?

Don't use an emulator. Boot up remix OS in persitant mode on a USB with some extra space on the USB and see how you go. Technically it's a fully fledged Android. Emulators are a severely stripped down version and mainly use a secondary kernel which utilizes the VT functions of a CPU which arnt Ideal in your case
So there's an app I've been using for many years: Simple Checkin for Foursquare
It's essentially a lightweight app/client for the once-popular Foursquare location checkin service.
The app has been abandoned by it's developer and hasn't been updated since 2016. I have searched but have not found another app to replace it (that works) so I still use it.
My daily driver for the past few years has been an LG V35 that's stuck on Android 8. It's actually been a great phone for me which is why I've kept it so long but is really starting to show it's age, some more modern apps are getting noticeably laggy.
I bought a new phone that came with Android 10 and it's good other than this particular app doesn't work at al. When I install (or launch it after clearing data) I'm given a warning that the app is designed for an older version of android and may not work properly before it prompts me to log into the Foursquare service, once that part is completed the app just crashes. Any time I try to launch the app after that it crashes immediately (never even loads the UI).
I've tried this on 2 different Android 10 phones and it's the exact same result. The app works fine on both Android 8 and Android 9.
I'm wondering if there's some kind of workaround for this problem or if I'm really stuck here. I have reached out to the developer of the app and he told me that he's not working on this app anymore and has no plans to update it.
Thanks in advance
Which phone?
The ancient freeware WPS office runs on my N10+'s Android 9 and 10. 10 hasn't caused many issues except it gutted Karma Firewall's valuable logging feature. On Samsung's at least scoped storage isn't fully active and Samsung has greatly modified Q to maintain functionality and the UI.
One reason I'll never load Android 11
Overlay apps generally crash on Q...
Try checking all settings on the app.
Check accessibility permissions, does it need Administrator permissions?
Clear system cache and app data.
Try disabling the internet and see if it loads.
If so then find which app is diming it out and firewall block it.
Try temporarily disabling Google play Services.
Playstore may be another trouble maker.
Try reinstalling it with internet disconnected.
See what apks popup (running services/app cache) when you try to load it as that may give you a clue to the perp apk.
Play with it... may be a dead end or not.

Thanks, I'll try that.
FWIW the two Android 10 phones I've tried are a Motorola One 5G Ace and a Unihertz Titan
Try using Apk Export to copy it. This is app I use, freeware.
