Market on 2.2 Sylvania/Disco - Work In Progress

[cfrockit]

Could it be the permission settings? What do the permissions on the build.prop suppose to be? And its location is in system\ right?

/system/build.prop

Permissions: rw-r--r-- or 644
Properties: User - root Group - root

$su
# cd system

#chmod 644 build.prop

#chown root.root build.prop

Problem I am having now is I installed my paid account info (billing) and have tried to rest the "false" setting to "true" but the file seems to get re-written after I start Market back to "false" What should I do?

/system/build.prop

Permissions: rw-r--r-- or 644
Properties: User - root Group - root

$su
# cd system

#chmod 644 build.prop

#chown root.root build.prop

I set the permissions to 644. No idea what the problem is. can not get market to load still. It just shows a white screen then back to where I was when I try and run it.

Woot! Woot! Once I did the factory reset found here http://www.androidtablets.net/forum/sylvania-tablets/6437-apply-factory-reset-step-step-images.html

Before I was just hitting the button on the back.

After the reset I had to (androot) and then install root explorer.apk

Then followed Xi2Wiked instructions on page 8 Bam! I got working market with all free apps. Your the man. Big thanks to all you guys that helped.

Thanks again Xi2Wiked

This part is where it gets tricky, you have to set the gsm sim carrier to tmobile, kinda like using market enabler..... I couldnt get market enabler to work so ended up setting this through terminal. Check this thread out, courtesy of cfrockit.... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=7936641&postcount=729 thatll help you out btw, so far all ive been able to get is the paid apps tab to appear. No paid apps actually show though, except previously purchased apps which only show up in the downloads section. Good luck!

Excuse me? but... i manage to download the market file, but whenever i try to download the second file ( http://db.tt/xZbIjGa) a weird script appears and nothing happens to download... or is it this kind of script that you have to copy to nto /data/data/com.android.vending/shared_prefs...... pls could you upload it again??


Thanks again

[Xi2wiked]

You copy the script to the /data/data/com.android.vending/shared_prefs folder. Dont try to open/run it....

 

[Jv90]

Ok, i did what you mentioned, but i cant find the shared_prefs folder on .com android vending folder, if you open the next ones are an empty folder and lib(wich is also empty), any hints on this???

 

[Xi2wiked]

Open your market, and let it fully load up. It will create the files as it loads. Then paste that file. Then cleat market cache and force stop. Clear google service frameworks data, then force stop. Reboot your tab and then voila, you have a working market

 

[Jv90]

ok, i know it would be a silly question but? how can i copy the new vending into the shared_pref folder??

 

[Xi2wiked]

Sorry it took so long to respond, the .xml file you downloaded you use a file manager to paste into the proper folder

I have got the market installed and am able to download apps, however it does not seem to be auto-updating to the new market (green title bar), I still have the older market with the grey title bar. Is this purely cosmetic or will some apps not show up? I'm searching for the BBC iplayer app (I live in the UK) but it isn't showing up. It's not a paid app.

Am I able to manually update it somehow or should it be auto updating?

Thanks

 

[Xi2wiked]

the problem is you are in the uk. The vending prefs.xml file you used is for the us market. Download custom locale, or try market enabler, one of those 2 apps should be able to get the uk market aps to show for you.

 

[Jv90]

Still cant install the new vending.apk (it transform the .xml file to an .apk file) on the share_pref folder; it seems..... strange to install it
