no longer work on donut 1.6 market

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Can not download any app if fake to any listed mobile carrier.

First: 1.6 Market is not yet officially out
Second: If it's finally out, a new reverse engineering of the Market is needed 
to see
how the phone will be identified.

I added a note on the start page that it probably doesn't work on new Market.

I just got a response from someone with 1.6 rom and he says that it worked on 
his
phone...

partially working.

Hardware(irrelevant in this case): ADP1
Firmware: dwang modified adp1 1.6( he just added root, tether support and a 
memory path, nothing 
relevant )
Country: Portugal
Market Enabler version: 3.0.2 beta
Settings: tmobile usa

Expected: access paid apps tab, search for paid apps and purchase

Result: I can only see the free and just in tabs on the 1.6 market app, 
searching for paid apps works( 
though I'm not 100% sure ), purchasing: untested, the just in tab lists free 
and paid apps.

Notes: on previous cyanogen builds, before the final adp1 1.6 was released and 
used as base for new 
custom roms, it all worked well, the market app even displayed the paid apps 
tab. 

I'm guessing it's a file related to the new final 1.6 market app in need of 
patch and everything else 
works.

Thx for the reply Luis

If I understand you right, you can see paid apps if you search for a paid app 
but you
can't set the filter tab on paid apps?

[GoogleCodeExporter]

That's correct

[GoogleCodeExporter]

maybe it just has to do with the image (hopefully) like the problem that 
protected
apps cant be seen (on some images).

Have you tried a wipe?

Original comment by michel.racic on 14 Oct 2009 at 11:35

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Yes I already wiped and tried a couple of different roms, 

this is first one I tried with:

and this is the one I'm currently running:

I've just used Market Enabler on a 1.6 android (running Cyanogen 4.1.999/HTC 
Magic, 
PVT32A) to buy apps.

@fredrik read what other people wrote, you can buy apps using market enabler on 
1.6, 
but the paid apps tab on the market app isn't showing up.

On Cyanogen 4.2.2 I'm able to buy application but not to download it.

Original comment by kep...@gmail.com on 29 Oct 2009 at 12:08

[GoogleCodeExporter]

I can buy and download but some carriers in list do not allow me to download 
after 
fake.
To all users can't download, report your territory and check if there's 
internal block 
in your territory.

Original comment by KNom...@gmail.com on 29 Oct 2009 at 12:54

[GoogleCodeExporter]

@kepicz: The not able to download problem is a Android Market problem that 
exists
since 1.0, mostly a reboot or a wipe solves this problem. I had this a couple 
times
(before and after developing ME).

@KNomade: What do you mean with "internal block"?

Original comment by michel.racic on 29 Oct 2009 at 7:59

[GoogleCodeExporter]

@michel: internal block is referring to network restriction by their local 
authorities in some area that result google market, gmail to work improperly.

For those ones having problem to download apps. I recommend you try faking to 
different carries other than T-mobile than re-download.

For those ones having problem to download gmail. I recommend you to manual 
close 
Gmail and Gmail Storage by using task management tools such as Advanced Task 
Manager 
then retry.

Tried with Cyanogenmod 4.2.7.1.

First attempt was unsuccessfull, market says network error with every provider, 
but 
after restart, it works like a charm. Buyed, downloaded and installed app 
without 
problem. Thanks for this app.

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Is this going to be fixed in a future version? And if not, are there any known
workarounds to get paid apps working in Donut for those of us with crappy 
providers?

@n.rijksen whats exactly your problem?

Original comment by michel.racic on 17 Dec 2009 at 12:29

[GoogleCodeExporter]

@michel, the fact that it's not working on 1.6

Original comment by n.rijk...@gmail.com on 20 Dec 2009 at 3:44

[GoogleCodeExporter]

@n.rijksen It's working on 1.6 market (don't know yet for the newest T-Mobile 
release
of the market)
Could you please attach a lolcat of MarkeetEnabler operation?

Hi there,

For the ones who have the 1.6 market working; but no longer have the "paid 
apps" tab;
I finally got it working properly (okay, you might not like the method below; 
use at
your own risks ;)

Note: Some of the below steps might not be needed; I haven't looked further.

1) Fake your provider (in this example, I chose T-Mobile italy (TIM)
2) Set the following props: 

# setprop gsm.sim.operator.iso-country it
# setprop gsm.operator.iso-country it
# setprop gsm.operator.alpha TIM
# setprop gsm.sim.operator.alpha TIM

3) Not only clear your cache; but also your db (clearing the cache is not 
enough)

# rm -rf /data/data/com.android.vending/*

4) Run android market
5) Here it is again.

Note: I was a bit afraid that getting rid of my db would cause issues with 
previously
installed apps/bought apps; but after browsing for them they are still marked as
installed ; refund is still possible for some of them.

Note2: Make a backup of your directory's content before clearing it...U never 
know...

Feel free to give a feedback || mention unnecessary steps.

Cheers,

Chris.

Turns out; by putting back my backup and by only modifing the following, it 
works too: 

<boolean name="metadata_paid_apps_enabled" value="false" /> 
to:
<boolean name="metadata_paid_apps_enabled" value="true" /> 

into the /data/data/com.android.vending/shared_prefs/vending_preferences.xml
