This is just a simple build.prop mod to fix the fingerprint back to the working ERE27 one used in CM. Everything in Settings still shows FroYo, but the Market sees you as ERE27 & thus gives you your protected apps back
To install run this from the directory you unzip the file to:
ADB Method:
Code:
adb remount
adb shell rm /system/build.prop
adb push froyo.prop /system/build.prop
adb shell reboot
Then, once it reboots, go into the dialer, and type
Code:
*#*#CHECKIN#*#*
which is
Code:
*#*#2432546#*#*
for those of you who are too lazy to read the letters
A message should pop up into the status bar after a few seconds depending on your connection speed saying checkin succeeded.
Now you're good to go, open Market and download away
EDIT: Since I know some of you will wonder what this does, it just changes the ro.build.fingerprint & ro.build.description settings back to ERE27. This alone would normally be enough, but you're depending on luck to when you next check in. Dialing that code in the Dialer will force a checkin.
EDIT 2: Thanks to Shafty023 here is a method for the shell:
LINUX SHELL METHOD
Copy froyo.zip to /sdcard, then open a Terminal shell on your phone
Code:
su
mount -o remount,rw /system
cd /system
mv build.prop new.build.prop
unzip /sdcard/froyo.zip
mv froyo.prop build.prop
rm /sdcard/froyo.zip
reboot
Upon booting back up, open Dialer and type in the following code
Code:
*#*#2432546#*#*
Once you see a notification in the notification bar that says checkin succeeded you can now open Market and are done.
Nice! Trying it now.
EDIT: Working great so far. Thanks!

Use one of the root file explorers to unzip the file, delete the old build.prop, put the new one in, and then type the command in the dialer
Works like a charm, thanks!
Worked great, THANK YOU!!!!!
I'm getting checkin failed. should I have renamed froyo.prop to build.prop?
edit: I'm able to see protected apps though.
So what happens when apps start getting udated to take advantage of JIT? If you have ERE27 signature do you get the JIT'less version of the apps? I know Replica Island is coming with a JIT version. I'm afraid to mess with anything right now, rather be patient and give it a few days.

If you inserted this line correctly, it renames and places the file in its directory as build.prop
adb push froyo.prop /system/build.prop

Apps don't have to be updated to take advantage of JIT at all. They can be optimized but they can be optimized without JIT too. There are no different versions. JIT just converts the Java/Dalvik code into native code at app launch, instead of running it through the slower virtual machine. Its like C++ vs Java on a desktop, the native code (C++) is much faster when executed.
The only thing this will lead to is when apps start showing up in the Market as 2.2+ only, but by that point Google will have updated the market to recognize the new footprint.
Can someone give an example of a "Protected" app? If its worth anything, im assuming its paid apps. If so, i can see them without a modded build.prop.

I think Twidroid Pro is protected.
What I'm wondering is, if somebody swaps out the build prop but hasn't installed flash yet, would this block them from doing so?

Pure calender widget (agenda) is a protected app taht doesnt show up in the 2.2 market
Edit: Works perfect! Thanks.
If you are having problems with the checkin, make sure your on 3g and not WiFi.

Nope, Flash still shows up in the Market top apps for me, but I already have it installed. Technically it probably should show up only on the 2.2 Market, but Google may not be able to filter that yet since they haven't enabled the 2.2 fingerprint yet. Just theories here, don't take anything I say too seriously
Also, a perfect example of protected apps is all the Gameloft apps. Search the Market for Gameloft. They won't show up on 2.2 without this, I tried multiple times

This disables the full-screen message when you connect USB and have no ADB enabled.
This app has no user interface. Enable it in Xposed - reboot - done.
IMPORTANT
Xposed needs root access for installation and requires Android 4.0.3 and up
Website: http://tinyurl.com/nq32zze
Play Store: http://tinyurl.com/k9qzp2x
Xposed Repository: http://tinyurl.com/lrlouoh
APK download: http://tinyurl.com/mzert7f
Why this app? The pop-up is annoying.
bro can u share the source code plz? actually @liudongmiao wants to help back-porting it to gb & also asking ur permission,if u plz share & give the permission it would be a pleasure! thanks.

Hellooo this is not working for me... The USB screen still pops up. I have it enabled in xposed, I've rebooted but I'm not sure what else I'm supposed to osince there is no ui... But it is not working.
I have Xposed 2.4 on a ROM that is stock based and very minimally modded,.. Running ICS 4.0.3 something or other ha. On a zte engage... Any ideas? I noticed it says 'have no ADB enabled' maybe that's it... What is adb?

It shows not if adb (for debugging etc) is enabled. Have you some errors in Xposed log? As the pop-up is a "full screen notification" you could also use NotifyClean if you have the donate version

Hmm... Yes, there was like a paragraph of errors that shows in the log after I plug my USB in (and this attempts to launch) It was a bunch of .java errors... I tried to download the NotifyClean to see if that would do anything for me, but as you stated I would need the donate version because the free version did nothing for me... I'm fairly new to all this Xposed stuff so what I am going to do is disable this for right now... and come back later when i know more and see if I can get it working. I appreciate your response and also for making and sharing this module, im sure its helping a lot of people out :good:

I wouldn't even know where to start... haha... The log is HUGE and the errors (that i THINK apply to this particular module) are like 15 paragraphs long... How about if i just upload the .log file?? (instead of posting like a million paragraphs on here...)
It's down at the end of the log.... what im talking about. all the java. errors....

That are many errors. Best would be to enable only one module, check log and report it to the developer.
But I have not found errors by this module
smart idea ^^^ but all my other modules work fine... this is the ONLY one i have that isnt working. but i will do as you suggested right now and upload the new .log. thanks for the idea smart thinking haha
EDIT: okay, now I did that... and now it doesnt ever say anything except 'loading class' ... even after i attempt to plug in USB, full screen alert still pops up, but no errors are logging. hmmmmm ... ? haha i'll attach log again...

Hello everyone.
I own a rooted THL w8s.
Today, I accidentally deleted a folder from the root menu.
The story is this one; I was trying to install an app but it would fail installation. So I read in here that if i moved the apk file in the root browser/data/app it would then get installed.
So I copied the file, went to the app folder but I couldn't find how to paste it. So I exited the app folder, long pressed it and a menu popped up that had the choice move. Unfortunately, what was moved was the app folder from the root menu and now no app is working! Worse than that, is that Google Play isn't available any more!
Any solutions?
Thanks

Weird that that would affect the Play Store since it isn't located in /data/app. But if a factory reset doesn't help, then you will have to reload the stock OS. I imagine it would need to be done with the SP Flash Tool since it's a THL and I'm assuming a MediaTek chip.

Don't think so. Check your Device Manager to make sure that your PC has loaded the drivers correctly.

Nope. The whole idea of the flash tool is to be able to reload the OS. Doesn't matter that you did that or had a custom rom and recovery on it, it should still rewrite the OS back to it. But I don't work on MediaTek devices at my shop because hardly anyone buys them around here so I just know this stuff from reading lots of other posts. There are TONS of guides and how-to videos. You'll probably need to check some of them out and see if you are missing something or are in the wrong mode for the program to start. Any device that has the same chipset as your phone will have the same instructions for reloading the OS, just with the appropriate files for yours.

hi guys, i try to install some querty keyboard like fleksy on android wear with adb comands.
after many attemps i found the way.
You should be having android platflorm Tools to use ADB.
1. Enable Android Debugging in your android wear (tap many times on build version)
2. Connect your android wear watch.
3. connect your smartwatch to phone via bluetooth
4.write: adb devices
5. see if your device is listed (if you see "unhautorized" see your smartphone to allow the permission)
6.Install App to your watch using this Command: adb install yourApkName.apk
7.Type: adb shell ime enable com.syntellia.fleksy.kb/.Fleksy (if this give you an error try com.syntellia.fleksy.keyboard/.Fleksy)
8.Type: adb shell ime set com.syntellia.fleksy.kb/.Fleksy (if this give you an error try com.syntellia.fleksy.keyboard/.Fleksy)

ok no problem. the problem is that the file package (com.example....) depends on your apk file. So you can do this:
-download this application for windows: apk tool for wear from xda
-connect to your phone
-find in the list the name of your fleksy package (com.syntellia....)
-write it in the adb command. (example: adb shell ime enable "yourpackage"/.Fleksy )

I don't think so, because nearly all apps of that device refuse to install.
and if you remove shareduserid, than it installs but says unsupported device.
although ist nothing special about that damn device.
i think it only checks a value of file in the filesystem if its there and as it cant find it refuses to work.
its also very confusing, that most apps say that the device is rooted, but as soon you try to enter the /data
folder it refuses the connection.
very secure thing.
its called
dreamlink t1 in the US
or formuler in the EU
