[GoogleCodeExporter]

thx for the log
@tzvetan: I assume you also have modaco rom?

could one of you try the following in a terminal emulator or via adb:
First get a root shell with su in terminal emulator or "adb root" and the "adb 
shell"
if doing via adb.
1) ps | grep vending
2) ps | grep vending | tr -s  ' ' | cut -d ' ' -f2
see what this commands returns and post it here.
if the second command return a valid PID
try
3) kill {PID}
4) ps | grep vending
See if vending process is still running.
If it is not running anymore try
5) rm -rf /data/data/com.android.vending/cache/*

Keep logcat running during this commands and attach the log and the return of 
every
command.
It could be that the vending process doesn't get killed properly before 
executing the
rm command and that the rm command is taking away files that are in use.
All this commands have to be run as root.

Accepted the defect but assume that it has to do with the modaco rom.
I try to help to find a solution but will need your help as I don't have a 
testphone
to put modaco rom on (just my primary phone).

Just to add - it worked on modaco when I first installed it. Ive since added an 
APN
and a number of apps from the marketplace. I can only assume that either the 
adding
of an APN or one of the marketplace apps is screwing with MarketEnabler

Original comment by martin.b...@gmail.com on 17 Sep 2009 at 10:59

[GoogleCodeExporter]

hmmmm... ok I see, the ps command has another output on Modaco...
I get following output with JF4C on ADP (G1):
{{{
# ps|grep vending
app_12   2150  87    92580 13268 ffffffff afe0d3e4 S com.android.vending
#  ps | grep vending | tr -s  ' ' | cut -d ' ' -f2
2150
}}}
The problem is that your output of ps is missing the first col with the user 
(app_12
in my example) and this leads to a wrong PID (in u'r case 0)

Normaly on Uni* systems, during boot the kernel creates the shed process (aka
kernel-space swapper process) with PID 0 (u won't see it with ps)
And as your last ps command is returning 0, it kill's the mother process of all
processes and with this all child processes are killed.
Like init and kthreadd are direct child processes of shed.

I will remove busybox dependencie in next release and kill the vending process 
by API.
This should solve your issue.
Until then,  don't use this app because I can't give you a workaround.
You can do it manually:
{{{
 su
 setprop gsm.sim.operator.numeric 310260
 kill $(ps | grep vending | tr -s ‘ ‘ | cut -d ‘ ‘ -f1)
 rm -rf /data/data/com.android.vending/cache/*
}}}
I just modified the kill line that col 1 will be read (I assume this is the PID 
but
check the header of the ps output) ;-)

netcounter would be the one that both of you have installed...
I Browsed shortly trough the source of netcounter but I didn't see something 
that
modifyies the ps output nor I know how this could be done...
Can someone of you test with a plain modaco rom (no apps installed or anything 
done
since fresh flash) what the header of the ps output looks like?

Original comment by tzve...@gmail.com on 17 Sep 2009 at 12:08

[GoogleCodeExporter]

@michel

What version of busybox are you running.

I have version 1.15 - ps should return PID UID - so your command is right

What happening is that the com.android.vending is not running. What you then 
get is
the UID of the grep command which is 0 (root)

Original comment by martin.b...@gmail.com on 17 Sep 2009 at 12:42

[GoogleCodeExporter]

let me clarify:

Hero booted:

ps | grep vending | tr -s  ' ' | cut -d ' ' -f2

returns 0 - you are just returning the UID of the person running the grep

Now start market
ps | grep vending | tr -s  ' ' | cut -d ' ' -f2

returns 
10007
0
0

The first line is now the UID of the vending process

either way you are killing the UID (or trying) rather than PID

Original comment by martin.b...@gmail.com on 17 Sep 2009 at 12:54

[GoogleCodeExporter]

@tzvetan I don't know, maybe without wipe it works but maybe not... you have to 
try,
just don't forget to backup that you can restore your system

@martin
The command is not killing the UID ;-) but it kills the process with PID 0 and 
all
processes on the system are child's of this process and get killed too.

Original comment by michel.racic on 17 Sep 2009 at 1:08

[GoogleCodeExporter]

hey what im saying is that when the hero is started, there is no vending 
process - hence 

#ps | grep vending

returns the grep that you are running - not the vending process. Here you are 
getting
a UID of 0 (ps|grep vending is being run as su and cut -f2 is taking the UID 
column)
, so you pass 0 to the kill command and it kills the phone.

If I actually start Market, then
#ps | grep vending

returns the PID and UID - however your code is selecting the second column (cut 
-f2)
and so is selecting the UID value rather than PID. Passing this value to kill 
will
not kill anything - as there is no process with that id.
You will then be trying to remove the cache while vending is still running.

I hope that is a bit clearer ???

Original comment by martin.b...@gmail.com on 17 Sep 2009 at 1:17

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Read comment #11

And for the grep, yes the command "|grep -v grep" should have been added to 
this line
for completness, but this is not the issue because if just grep is running and 
get
killed doesn't do anything.
As I said, on next release I will remove this command and kill the vending 
process by
hand.

[GoogleCodeExporter]

michel - i think we are going around in circles here :)

My point is just to say that - on busybox ps output is PID(col 1) UID(col 2)

ps | grep vending | tr -s  ' ' | cut -d ' ' -f2 will return col 2 (i.e. the UID
column). The PID column value is never returned using the above statement, its 
always
the UID.

This leads to 2 scenarios:

1)If the market is not running on the Phone:
 - the above command will return the UID (col 2) of the grep command. As the grep
command is run a root, and root UID is 0, this will return 0. 0 is passed to 
the kill
command and (as you explained above) running "kill 0" will kill everything.

2)If the market is running you will get the vending process UID and the grep 
process
UID. Again kill probably takes both values, so again
kill $(ps | grep vending | tr -s  ' ' | cut -d ' ' -f2) boils down to kill 
10007 0 -
10007 being the UID of vending and 0 being the UID of the grep.

Its an inherent flaw in the code and wont work on anything with the same
implementation of ps as on the modaco (busybox 1.15).

from busybox command help(www.busybox.net)
ps
    ps

Anyway If you are interested, Im happy to take the code from svn and create a 
modaco
specific version, which you can list on the site (or not if you prefer) ?

Original comment by martin.b...@gmail.com on 17 Sep 2009 at 2:11

[GoogleCodeExporter]

I have busybox version 1.13.2 from 20. January 2009 Installed.

If you want, you can build a special modaco version and I will list it.
Only thing you have to change is the kill command line, taking the first 
argument
instead of the second.

Original comment by michel.racic on 1 Nov 2009 at 9:10

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Hi.

Same problem on my Hero with the latest Modaco 2.9.

Hero crashes after I allow su usage.

Working (and crashing) of market-enabler is absolutely related with apps 
installed.
At the beginning everything was fine. Then, I installed few apps, and Hero 
started to
crash. I made many tries and after uninstalling ftp client named AndFTP
market-enabler worked again! I was so happy!

After few weeks the same situation happened. At this moment I have uninstall 
almost
every custom app on my Hero and there is the same problem still existing - 
generally
crash and reboot after choosing "fake this provider".

I need soooo badly market-enabler. This is the most useful app at all!

Please let me know what can I do for you to help with solving the problem.

Thanks in advance.

@tetsubo
Your PS has another output and as the actual version uses -f2 argument with the 
cut
command its returning the second column.
In your case this will be the user ID and if you read the userID 0 and make a 
kill 0
the phone will reboot because on a *nix system PID 0 is the mother process of 
all
processes => killing the mother will kill all the childs.

I planned to rewrite ME to not use shell commands anymore (except for the 
setprop)
but I didn't had time for it because I'm on finishing my pre bachelor thesis 
right
now but I hope I will find some time for it in the christmas holidays.

Yeah, MoDaCo uses BusyBox and they have their own ps command it seems.
I suspected that was exactly the case, but then I got really confused because 
the ps
and cut command gave me the PID when I tried it later.
Maybe I made a mistake somewhere in there, I dunno.

Happy to see that the cause has been found.

I can confirm this on the MoDaCo Custom 3.1 also.

I'm not quite sure which apps I've installed between when it last worked and 
now, but
my most recent few are:

Twidroid Free
Unit Converter (Mathpad)
Pkt Auctions eBay
Transdroid (upgrade)
Handcent (upgrade)
Paypal
Shopsavvy (upgrade)
Advanced Task Killer (upgrade)
Battery Widget

I had this same problem on my Hero with Modaco 3.0 and ME 3.0.4

This night I uninstalled A Online Radio and it fixed the problem. Haven't 
really read
through all the answers to this bug - will try to provoke the problem later 
this week
when I got the time. I don't know much about the linux behind, but let's see ;)

Although it's weird that the bug suddenly appeared, since I didn't get it right 
after
I installed any apps - the bug appeared after a while. Is there any way to get 
a list
over the apps installed and when they were installed?

basically it has to do with the ps output or the cut command
havent really found out why this is different for some people...
I will have to do it with the API to avoid problems with busybox stuff ;-)

I have the same problem.

ME was working fine on my GSM Hero with Modaco 3.0, but when I went to Modaco 
3.1(no 
wipe) 
it broke.

Is a wipe or ME reinstall necessary when you go from one Modaco to another?

UPDATE:

Tried a reinstall of ME and its still rebooting...

Any suggestions?

I actually got it working. What I did was to hit the back button as soon as ME 
reports 
100% on faking US T-mobile. The phone doesn't reboot and the i can buy things 
on the 
app store!

I had the same problem a with modaco 3.1. I tried muvule's fix and it worked 
for me.
You need to be quick and hit the back button before the phone starts to reboot.

Thanks.

FYI: the new update (3.0.7) seems to have fixed my problem on Modaco 3.0.
Thanks a lot ;)
